Chapter 711: Invitation from the Princess Mansion

be back here still needing milk, no one wants her."The Li family all had pale faces and were at a loss.Li Laotai couldn't even walk, she was slumped on a chair, tears streaming down her face like a sp...Jia Yin nodded and smiled: "Alright, everyone's New Year's gift will be delivered on the 28th. Each person will receive a fish, a piece of meat, a jar of wine, and a box of snacks and treats from the shop."

"When the time comes, please send it to everyone."

“Thank you, Master!” Peng, the shopkeeper, grinned obsequiously, flattering him incessantly. “To be able to work for you, everyone is simply blessed from our past lives.”

"Don't mention the generous reward and wages, just these past years of gifts brought back are enough to make neighbors green with envy."

Just at that moment, a young man from the front hall suddenly ran in to deliver a message.

"Master, the shopkeeper's daughter from the branch store is here. She insists on seeing you. I've brought her to the private room upstairs."

Jia Yin raised an eyebrow.

She and Bao Lei didn't see eye to eye, not even a word. Bao Lei came here today specifically, there must be something...

Since she was idle anyway, she took Peng the shopkeeper and Shui Ling upstairs.

Bao Lei was sipping on her milk tea, and perhaps it was a subconscious influence, she always felt that the things at the branch weren't as delicious as those at Baiyun.

The white cloud cake and snacks were not as good, perhaps because they had cooled down on the way to the branch. They weren't as delicious as when they first came out of the oven.

But this thing about bubble tea, pouring it into a water bottle and bringing it back to reheat it, how can the taste be so different!

As she was thinking, she heard the door creak open.

She looked up, and before she could make out the person's face, she was blinded by the dazzling brilliance of the jewels, squinting slightly.

As Dai De Jiayin sat opposite her, her gaze still unconsciously fell upon the eight-treasure rosary on her chest, jealousy churning within her heart like a storm.

As the eldest daughter of a noble family, she had never seen such a delicate and precious necklace!

A peasant girl, unexpectedly, wore it out every day, not treating it as a valuable thing at all...

Jia Yin glanced at Shui Ling, guessing most of it. She couldn't help but playfully take off her necklace and throw it to Shui Ling, complaining, "This thing is too heavy! I won't wear it next time!"

"It was Grandma who insisted on putting them in the box, saying it would be a shame to let them collect dust."

"But there are so many at home, I can't even wear one a day. Just throw them away."

With a twinkle in her eyes, Shui Ling chuckled and said, "My lady, you mustn't let the old madam hear that, or she'll say you're blind to your good fortune."

"How many unfortunate people haven't even touched jewelry like this, let alone worn it."

Bao Lei was so angry that her teeth were grinding together. The handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to shreds, and her eyes seemed to be filled with venom.

She was sure that the "poor person" Shui Ling had mentioned was her!

She strained every muscle, barely containing the urge to slam the door and leave.

After all, she came here with a mission. If she didn't complete it, she would definitely be in trouble when she went home.

Bao Lei took a deep breath and said, "My Lady, these past few months I have been grateful for your care. The branch business is doing quite well."

After the New Year, on the 18th day of the first lunar month, there will be a flower viewing banquet at our princess's residence. Almost all noble ladies in Kyoto will attend.

"I am here today to deliver an invitation on behalf of my grandmother."

Having said that, she took out a gilded post and pushed it to Jiayin's front.

Jia Yin raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Miss Bao, you can’t take advantage of me just because I’m young.”

“Previously, on Longevity Day at Shou Kang Palace, the Princess treated me poorly and bullied me. Many people witnessed it at the time.”

"Now that the Grand Princess has invited me to admire the flowers again, isn't this a bit too fast of a change of heart Could it be that she wants to lure me in and manipulate me at will!"

Are you young

Bao Lei wanted to roll her eyes, but she endured and said, "Of course not, Grandmother last time also listened to people's slander and said things she shouldn't have said to the county princess.

"After returning home, Grandmother regretted it deeply. That's why she took the initiative to invite the County Princess to our house this time to play."

Having said that, she saw Jia Yin refusing to touch the posting and couldn't help but urge her: "Princess, aren't you afraid Don't you dare go"

Jia Yin wasn't afraid of someone tampering with the post. After all, she had studied medicine for so long, and the days she had endured being abused by Zhang Shenyi hadn't been in vain!

She was just curious.

I can't guess what bad idea the Princess's Mansion came up with, why they insisted she go to the banquet...

But then again, I could agree first and see what happens. Worst case scenario, I just don't go. The Princess Estate can always send someone to grab me from Broken Gold Beach!

"What's there to be afraid of" Jia Yin smiled nonchalantly, picked up the post and glanced at it casually before tossing it aside. She then said, "Before, a lot of people had their eyes blindfolded and bullied me. In the end, they all ended badly."

"I wouldn't mind attending the banquet for some fun, but I'm afraid someone might end up regretting it, wishing they hadn't come."

Bao Lei looked at Jia Yin's grinning face, and her heart sank.

To speak of it strangely, this chubby girl is indeed a little eerie. She's tried to scheme against them several times before but never managed to get the upper hand…

But soon, she remembered her drunken father at home and regained her spirits.

She eagerly anticipated the day when this proud little chubby would kneel before her, begging for scraps like a dog.

By then, don't even mention the Eight Treasure Jewels. Even a white cloud in the sky would easily fall into her hands!

After a few brief exchanges, Bao Lei hurriedly said goodbye.

In the lobby downstairs, freshly made chicken popcorn is already on sale. Every customer who has tried it has ordered another box and enjoyed it while it was hot.

The private room upstairs also had a young man knock on the door and send sweet potatoes.

Unfortunately, Bao Lei left in such a hurry that she didn't even notice...

Jia Yin brought some snacks and went to Xianke Lai again.

Tao Hongying previously had several apprentices. Although she still can't hold her own, she is very competent at assisting in fights.

Over the past few days, the master and her apprentices have made half of the stir-fried dishes, even introducing two new ones, which has been a great help to the Jiahuan.

Finally, Jiahuan could breathe a sigh of relief. He could cook some delicious food to take home in the evening and also see his pregnant daughter-in-law.

Jia Yin held the box of popcorn, in the back kitchen, taking turns feeding her mother and brother.

Of course, she was fed more and more, eventually leaving with a slick little mouth and a round, full belly, content to go home.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and every household is busy preparing for the Lunar New Year.

The streets of Xin Du were bustling with activity, both inside and out. People thronged the roads, shoulder to shoulder, so much so that one might even find a few lost shoes on their daily stroll.

Jia Yin leaned against the window, gazing with joy at this ordinary human world, completely immersed in it.

In her past life, she had no family and no friends. Living in the concrete jungle of the city, she existed like a wild animal.

She chose to live alone in her hometown because it allowed her to use the excuse of enjoying solitude, masking her loneliness and lack of love.

In this life, she practically grew up in a honey pot, living each day vibrantly and merrily.

Even though some people come to stir up trouble, she still loves it with all her heart.

Love this cycle of the four seasons, love this world of fireworks!

"Oh my, Your Grace, look! Aren't those the young master and his companions"

Shuiling was also restless and occupied another window to watch the commotion. Suddenly, she shouted out loud.

Her voice was loud, and before Jia Yin could come to investigate, Jiarren and the others already heard the commotion and galloped over.

"Little sister!" Mao Ge'er was the first to cry out, excitedly jumping off his horse and directly burrowed into the carriage.

Jiarren and Ligouer also jumped off their horses and grabbed hold of their younger sister's hand.

Jiā Rén looked his younger sister up and down. Seeing that she was still plump and cute, with a smile in her eyes, he felt relieved.e women to cook.
