Chapter 16
Caiwei did not accept the money, but smiled and said to Liu Meiren: "If you want to buy these things, just go to Guard Zhang directly. You don't need to give me the money. You can go to him yourself to explain more clearly."

"Okay, then I'll go find Guard Zhang after lunch." Liu Meiren took the money back.

"The Leng Palace branch task has been completed at [-]%, and the points will be increased by [-]." The cute and affectionate mechanical voice sounded in Leng Luoyue's mind again.

In just half of the morning, Caiwei, Xu Taibi and Liu Meiren made four long-eared rabbit dolls.Leng Luoyue said that they would stick to one style first, and when people no longer want to buy jackrabbits, they would make new styles, so that they would be innovative.

The cashmere cloth was all used up, leaving only some scraps. Caiwei and the others did not waste it, and made eight half-sized miniature jackrabbits.

After looking at it, Leng Luoyue said that she could get a rope on the head of the long-eared rabbit so that it could be hung around the waist like a purse or a jade pendant.

At noon, Caiwei made braised chicken with mushrooms, braised pork, stir-fried cabbage, and casserole rice. Because there was only one stove, cooking and cooking was very slow. It took almost an hour to cook this meal.Caiwei desperately wanted to have a big stove so that cooking would be more convenient.

Leng Luoyue's meal was brought to the house as usual, while Caiwei, Xu Taibin and the others ate on the stone table in the yard.

Because there was a leafy banyan tree outside the yard that blocked the sun, so they didn't feel the sun when they sat in the yard eating.

It is precisely because of this banyan tree that the yard looks gloomy.

Leng Luoyue sat on the bed and ate her meal. The kitten beside her looked at her eagerly and drooled.

Leng Luoyue picked up a piece of braised pork and teased him. He immediately opened his mouth wide, and the next moment Leng Luoyue put the braised pork into his mouth.

Seeing this, the kitten's mouth dropped and he immediately started crying.

Why is this child so ungrateful?
"Why are you crying, little kitten?" Caiwei, who heard the cry, put down her chopsticks and ran into the house.She used to call him the little prince, but the empress asked her not to call him by his nickname in the future, but to call him by his nickname.

Leng Luoyue said honestly: "I just teased him with braised pork, but who knew he would start crying."

Caiwei opened the cabinet, took out the contents one by one, and prepared milk powder.

She rushed and said: "The kitten can't eat now, why are you teasing him with meat? The meat flying to the mouth flew away, the kitten is naturally aggrieved."

Caiwei walked to the bedside shaking the bottle, picked up the kitten and fed her. After the pacifier went into her mouth, the kitten stopped crying and drank the milk in big gulps.

After feeding the kitten, Caiwei held him for a while, burped him, then put him on the bed and went out to eat again.

After dinner, Leng Luoyue and Xiao Mao'er both took a nap.

After Caiwei and Mrs. Xu finished washing the dishes, they lay down and squinted for a while. After waking up, they spun some cotton threads to make ropes and added them to the miniature jackrabbit.

After finishing, Caiwei went to Mrs. Sun's place again, borrowed pen, ink and paper, and made a list of the things she wanted to buy.Because now that I have money, I have a lot to buy, so I have to make a list.

When Concubine Xu and Meiren Liu saw that Caiwei had made a list, they also made a list with pen and ink.

After the list was made, Caiwei returned the pen and ink, planning to send the doll and the list together when the guard was about to leave his post.

Xu Taibin and Liu Meiren first sent over their orders, and each gave Zhang Shiwei twelve taels, asking him to buy according to the orders, and the rest was his hard work.

Zhang Su often helps people carry things, so he naturally knows the price. There are a lot of things on this list, but ten taels of silver cannot be spent all, and at least one tael of silver must be left.He simply took the order and money, saying that he would buy the things for them and send them in early the next morning.

……

This baby, who is not yet one month old, is still asleep even when he is sleeping even when Leng Luoyue wakes up.

A sliver of sunlight shone through the unpapered windows.

Seeing that ray of sunshine, Leng Luoyue wanted to go out and bask in the sun to replenish calcium.She rolled her eyes and didn't hear anyone talking outside. She thought Caiwei shouldn't be there, so she got out of bed secretly, put on her shoes and walked to the outside room, and then walked out of the room.

Standing on the porch, Leng Luoyue saw the courtyard where she lived for the first time.

The courtyard is not big. There are two rectangular flower beds under the wall facing the courtyard gate, but there is nothing inside and the walls are a bit mottled.

Then there was a house on each side, with some yellow grass growing on the roof, and the paint on the pillars was peeling off.

The room on the left has no windows yet.There is a stone table on the right side of the courtyard.Although the yard was very shabby, it was cleaned very well by Caiwei.

Because a large banyan tree with lush branches outside the yard blocked the light, making the yard look a little dark and gloomy.

For the past half month, Leng Luoyue had been living and eating in the house, and her whole body was almost moldy.Now that she breathed fresh air, she felt physically and mentally relaxed.

"Ah..." She stretched out and let out a comfortable cry, moved her legs, hands, and neck.There was no sun in the yard. If she wanted to bask in the sun, she could only go outside.She moved her neck and walked out of the yard. When the sun shone on her, she closed her eyes in enjoyment.

"Miss?"

Hearing Caiwei's voice, Leng Luoyue was so frightened that she immediately opened her eyes.When she took a look, she found that Caiwei was in the flowerbed opposite her, holding a small rake and looking at her with half-squinted eyes.

Oh!Got caught.

Leng Luoyue was afraid that Caiwei would miss her, so she looked directly at Caiwei and asked, "What are you doing?"

Caiwei said, "Didn't Guard Zhang bring some vegetable seeds in? I thought I would have free time in the afternoon, so I dug up the land and planted all the seeds." Planting earlier means they can eat vegetables earlier.What Zhang Weiwei bought for her were all rapeseeds that could be grown in summer.

"Oh, then you plant slowly." Leng Luoyue waved his hand without changing his expression, turned around and walked into the house.

"Well," Caiwei dug the ground twice. No, the empress is still in confinement!How could I get out of bed and go out into the yard?When the empress asked her what she was doing, she asked her to forget about it.

Caiwei threw away the rake and ran into the yard, "Mother, you are still confinement! How can you go out to the yard? What if you don't sit well and get confinement disease?"

Leng Luoyue was so confused by her thoughts that she raised her hands in surrender: "Little housekeeper, don't think about it. I'm going to go out and bask in the sun. I haven't caught a cold, so everything will be fine."

"Why is everything okay? You have forgotten that the old lady in the house did not sit properly during confinement when she was young. When she got old, her legs hurt, her eyesight was dazzled, and she couldn't even walk." The old lady is the empress's grandmother. But she was lucky. She left before the Leng family was ransacked, and the funeral was held with great splendor.If she had still been alive when her house was ransacked, I don’t know how much she would have suffered and how much torture she would have suffered!

Leng Luoyue rolled her eyes and entered the room. Under Caiwei's gaze, she got on the bed and covered herself with a quilt.

"Is it okay? Little housekeeper."

Caiwei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please don't think that this servant talks too much. I am doing this for your own good." They might not be able to leave the cold palace in this life. If the Empress really gets confinement disease, the people who will treat her will not be able to see her in the future. nothing.

"I know, by the way, have you bought the soybeans?" Leng Luoyue suddenly thought of soybeans.

"I bought it."

Leng Luoyue said: "First grab a few handfuls of soybeans and soak them in water."

"Do you want to make tofu? We don't have a stone mill to grind the beans."

"No, just soak it in water first, and I'll tell you how to do it tomorrow." She soaked the soybeans not to grind the tofu, but to sprout them.After the bean sprouts have sprouted, even if they don't let anyone buy vegetables, they can have vegetables to eat every day.Bean sprouts are a good thing. They can be eaten cold, stir-fried, or made into soup.
