Chapter 160 Seven-Colored Silkworm Cocoons (1)

As soon as Wang Qing'er saw Qin Miaomiao's expression, she knew that Qin Miaomiao was afraid of silkworms!

It's normal for some people to be afraid of silkworms, which are living organisms.

She just didn't expect that the dashing Qin Miaomiao in front of her would be afraid of silkworms. She thought that the white, tender, and chubby silkworms were very cute!

Not only are they adorable, but the qualities of silkworms also symbolize a noble and selfless spirit of dedication.

A line of poetry came to mind: "The silkworm spins silk until death, the candle burns until it is ash."

Thinking of this, Wang Qing'er covered her mouth with her hand, determined not to say anything more. The more she said, the more she would give herself away. She should just keep it to herself.

The guards wisely stayed outside to watch over the horses and carriages, and Qin Miaomiao simply moved from her horse to sit outside Wang Qing'er's carriage.

As the group entered the courtyard, they saw servants bustling about in the various rooms.

Looking at the scene before her, Wang Qing'er thought to herself, "They are picking silkworm cocoons. These silkworms have all spun their cocoons. After recalling for a moment, I realized that this should be the early summer silkworm season. I wonder how many seasons of silkworms are raised here in a year."

"May I ask this question?" Just as I was thinking this, I heard Mu Zhicheng ask impatiently, "Senior brother, where are the silkworms? Take me to see them quickly."

"They're all here, can't you see them?" Yun Kai said, pointing to the snow-white silkworm cocoons in the servants' hands. He wanted to tease his junior brother.

"There are no silkworms, only white fluff balls." Mu Zhicheng looked around and searched everywhere, but only found white fluff balls.

When Wang Qing'er heard Mu Zhicheng say that silkworm cocoons are white fluffy balls, she really wanted to explain to him the whole process of how silkworms mature, spin silk to form cocoons, and then become silk to wear on his body.

He hesitated for a few moments, then remained silent, feeling uncomfortable but determined to keep quiet.

"The silkworm is in here," Yun Kai said to his junior brother, picking up a snow-white silkworm cocoon.

"How could that be? Senior brother, you're just kidding me." Mu Zhicheng examined the silkworm cocoon closely, refusing to believe it.

Wang Qing'er stood aside, wanting to go forward and explain, and even thought about taking a pair of scissors and cutting it open to show Mu Zhicheng.

The silkworms inside the cocoons haven't evolved into pupae yet; you can see them still spinning silk by cutting open a hole.

Suddenly, a woman walked out of a room, and the silkworm cocoons she was carrying caught her eye.

The woman came out carrying a basket of colorful silkworm cocoons.

Wang Qing'er walked into the room without realizing it. The straw cage was covered with colorful silkworm cocoons, which were so beautiful.

Seven-colored silkworm cocoons? How could this be? How could there be seven-colored silkworm cocoons here?

If I remember correctly, this seven-colored silkworm was developed by the Sericulture Research Institute after years of research, incorporating and absorbing the latest research results from home and abroad.

How did I end up here?

Wang Qing'er stood there dumbfounded for a long time, completely baffled.

The others assumed she was attracted by the colorful silkworm cocoon, since girls love pretty things.

Could it be that someone in the Yun family is also a time traveler? Who could it be? Could it be Yun Kai? Or is it someone else entirely?

It seems she needs to be extra careful. If that person is a kind person, there's nothing to worry about, but if…

In short, it's best to be cautious and not let anyone know your secrets, including your husband.

"Qing'er, do you like it very much?" Mu Nan walked over and asked gently.

"Oh, I've never seen it before, I was just a little curious," Wang Qing'er said, trying to appear calm as she came to her senses.

"These seven-colored silkworms were carefully cultivated by my grandmother, but unfortunately she is no longer alive." Yun Kai looked at the seven-colored silkworm cocoons in front of him, but his thoughts were quite different.

"Brother Yun Kai's grandmother?" Wang Qing'er murmured to herself.

"Yes, my grandmother not only cultivated these colorful silkworm cocoons, but also the flowers in the flower garden and the fruit trees in the orchard. She cultivated them all. Even the Yun brocade and Yun brocade thread in the house were developed by her with great effort. In the end, she died from overwork."

When Yun Kai heard Wang Qing'er talking to herself, he thought that his sister-in-law was asking him about his grandmother, which was why she spoke with such emotion.

Upon closer reflection, he realized that the girl beside him was somewhat similar to his grandmother. The scented soap, skin cream, lip balm, mosquito coils, and floral water she made were all top-quality products that he had never seen before.

Even the noble ladies in the palace had never used such fine things!

And then there's the food. Although Grandma isn't good at cooking, I've occasionally heard her mention some dishes that are somewhat similar to what this sister-in-law makes.

The tea and pastries are also the best in the world.

I recently heard that the clothes in the Lin family's clothing store are also made by her, and my younger sister has been frequently visiting the Lin family's clothing store lately.

Although Yun Kai wasn't as talkative as Shang Congjian and the others, and didn't ask questions whenever he had them, he truly kept everything in mind.

Secretly observing Wang Qing'er's every move, he initially felt that this sister-in-law's initiative seemed very familiar.

Today, when I mentioned my grandmother, I suddenly realized that this girl's initiative was somewhat similar to that of my deceased grandmother.

"Sister-in-law, if you like them, you can take some silkworm cocoons back with you today." Yun Kai saw that Wang Qing'er was still staring at the colorful silkworm cocoons and assumed that she liked them too much.

"Ah? No need, Brother Yun." Wang Qing'er once again regained her composure and declined.

After listening to Yun Kai's words, she was completely certain that Yun Kai's grandmother, like her, had traveled from a previous life.

A pang of regret struck me. Yun Kai's grandmother had passed away, and I was unable to see her one last time. Could it be someone she knew? Or perhaps someone who used to live in the same city?

"It's alright, take some back if you like." Yun Kai insisted, then turned around and instructed the servants to pack some colorful silkworm cocoons and white silkworm cocoons and hand them to Wang Qing'er.

"Brother Yun Kai, you're being unfair! I want this seven-colored silkworm cocoon too!" Mu Zhicheng leaned over, pouting like a child.

"Xiao Wu, can't you tell that your Miaomiao doesn't like silkworms, and is even a little afraid of them?" Mu Nan walked over and said to Mu Zhicheng. His senior brothers used to call him Xiao Wu.

"Huh? Miaomiao is fearless, how could she be afraid of silkworms?" Mu Zhicheng simply couldn't believe that his wife was afraid of silkworms.

"She usually loves watching the excitement, why doesn't she come in and take a look today?" Yun Kai kindly reminded his junior brother.

"Huh? I didn't see that coming. I thought she would like it too, and I would bring some back for her. But I don't want it."

Seeing that his sister-in-law liked it, Mu Zhicheng thought his wife would like it too. Now that he knew his wife didn't like it, he didn't want to upset her with the things he brought back, so he immediately changed his mind.
