“Alright, I’ll give it to you the day after tomorrow,” Ning Yue agreed.
The books in the space were printed. She couldn’t take them out directly as they would arouse Xin Xin and the Empress Dowager’s suspicion.
Therefore, she needed time to copy them, but she had other things to do, so she could only take some time to do so during the evening. She dictated and Balang helped to write it down.
The three of them chatted for a while more before Madam He came to call them to the dining room for dinner.
As the three of them walked on the road, Madam He specially pulled Ning Yue back and said nervously, “I don’t know what Princess Jin and the empress dowager like to eat. What if the food we made today doesn’t suit their tastes?”
Hearing Madam He’s words, Ning Yue smiled and patted the back of her hand. She whispered in her ear, “Mother, we’ve already received the empress dowager in the capital. Why are you still so nervous?”
“I’m just worried because Princess Jin will be your future mother-in-law. If she takes you down a notch, you won’t have a good time in the prince’s residence,” Madam He said worriedly.
So that was it.
“Mother, don’t worry. Auntie is an easy person to get along with. She was especially cooperative when I chatted with her just now,” Ning Yue comforted.
“Is what you said true?” Madam He had been busy cooking and hadn’t noticed their interactions.
“Of course. Why would I lie to you?” Ning Yue said.
“That’s true, but you have to use this time to please her and leave a good impression on her so that she won’t make things difficult for you when you marry into their family,” Madam He reminded her worriedly.
Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. “Mother, did you suffer from Grandma’s difficulties in the Ning family?”
“No, but not everyone is like your grandmother,” Madam He said.
Ning Yue’s grandmother treated her like her own daughter. There was no comparison.
“Mother, don’t worry. I can handle it,” Ning Yue said.
Madam He was still worried, but seeing Ning Yue’s expression, she still swallowed what she wanted to say.
That night, after the family finished dinner, Ning Yue went to Balang for help.
“Sister, can I not write it down?” Balang looked at Ning Yue aggrievedly, begging for mercy.
“I’ll give you snacks. Help me write it down, okay?” Ning Yue tempted.
As expected, Balang was interested when he heard that there were snacks. “Sister, I want to eat that spicy one. That can refresh me. I’ll write it for you after eating.” Balang smiled at Ning Yue.
Seeing Balang’s expression, Ning Yue tapped his forehead and pretended to return to her room. She took out the Mala fish from her space and placed it in the clay pot.
Balang perked up after eating the Mala fish. He smiled at Ning Yue. “Sister, give me this every night in the future. I’ll write it for you every day. How about that?”
“Finish writing today first before we talk.” Ning Yue flicked Balang’s head. Balang dodged with a smile and finished his food quickly before starting to write.
It took two hours to finish half the novel.
Balang worked hard to write so that he could eat Mala fish every day. He asked Ning Yue, “Sister, do you still want me to write tomorrow?”
“Alright, I’ll look for you if I want you to write something. Thank you for tonight. Go and rest first,” Ning Yue said to Balang with a smile.
Balang finished the last Mala fish and licked his fingers reluctantly. “Remember to call me, Sister.” With that, Balang left.
Ning Yue looked at the novel in her hand in satisfaction. Enough. This was enough for Xin Xin to read for a few days.
She had other things to do these days.
The next day, Ning Yue gave Xin Xin the novel. Xin Xin looked at the novel with fresh ink in her hand and was happy and excited. “Yueyue, you’ve worked hard!” As she spoke, she couldn’t wait to read it.
Seeing this, Ning Yue quietly left. She wanted to discuss buying land with Jiang Ying.
She was going to make a winery and wanted it to be suitable for planting and brewing.
When she arrived at the Jiang residence, she did not see Jiang Ying. Ning Yue asked the guard and found out that he was playing with the children on the lawn at the back of the mountain.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Yue took a bottle of red wine from her space and poured it into the bamboo tube, planning to give the red wine to Jiang Ying to try.
Jiang Ying was playing with the two children. When he saw Ning Yue looking for him, he quickly stood up. “Yueyue.”
“I came to discuss something with you. I want to buy some land in the town and village,” Ning Yue said.
Jiang Ying looked at her in confusion. “Why are you suddenly buying land?”
“Drink it.” Ning Yue did not tell him the reason directly. Instead, she handed the bamboo tube over.
