Fortunately, the man on the horse didn't see Chu Jieyi, and rode straight past.

Chu Jieyi also accelerated the speed of driving the carriage, and the two passed by like this.

But how could he, the eldest son of Prince Yu's mansion, appear in such a remote town?

During the meal, Lin Ruyi felt that Chu Jieyi was a little absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind, but he didn't ask much outside, and planned to ask again when he went back.

The family ate, rested for a while, and then got into the carriage and returned to their new home. The house hadn't been cleaned up yet, and the leftover lard had to be made into soap today, or it would be spoiled.

Back home, Lin Ruyi went to the kitchen non-stop. The kitchen is very big and bright, the stove is also beautifully repaired, it is very clean, and there are kitchen utensils. The owner of the house is very particular about people.

Lin Ruyi felt that it was worth spending [-] Wen to rent this house.

But there is not much firewood in the house, there are only two bundles in the kitchen, and there seems to be not much in the woodshed.

This is a town, firewood is not as convenient as in the village, just go to the mountain to pick up some.

"You are busy first, I will find some firewood, and then I will come back and get it with you." Chu Jieyi knew that it would take a lot of firewood to do this, and there was too little firewood at home, so he needed to prepare some more.

Lin Ruyi nodded, looking at Chu Jieyi who was about to go out, she quickly put down the kitchen knife in her hand and chased after him.

"You wait."

Chu Jieyi immediately stopped and turned to look at Lin Ruyi.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else I should do?" Chu Jieyi asked.

Lin Ruyi shook her head lightly, and then asked in a low voice, "You didn't eat much when you ate, and you seem to have something on your mind. What happened to you?"

In the past, she always felt that Chu Jieyi was an adult. If she wanted to say something, she would take the initiative to tell herself. If she didn't want to say it, asking herself would make it difficult for him.

But now she feels that since two people want to live a good life and like each other, they should care more about each other. Even if the other party doesn't take the initiative to mention it, she should ask.

Chu Jieyi was stunned for a moment, feeling that Lin Ruyi cared about him, and he was quite happy in his heart.

"On the road just now, I seemed to see an acquaintance, but maybe I was wrong. I'm fine, don't worry." Chu Jieyi said softly.

Lin Ruyi felt that Chu Jieyi's absent-minded appearance was probably not mistaken, and the acquaintances he mentioned must not be ordinary people, and they had a great influence on him.

"Will that affect our lives?" Lin Ruyi asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Chu Jieyi shook his head and said.

Lin Ruyi nodded, since Chu Jieyi said so, she didn't ask any more.

"Then go find firewood, be careful, I'll make fragrant pancakes first."

"Okay." Chu Jieyi nodded.

Chu An'an and Chu Zijun helped Lin Ruyi at home. The two children switched to lighting the fire, while the other fanned Lin Ruyi, which was very heart-warming.

Lin Ruyi chopped all the remaining lard and put it in a pot to boil the oil.

Although the yard has not been lived in for a long time, there is still a part of plant ash under the stove that has not been completely cleaned up, which can just be taken out to soak in water.

The lard is boiled, and the ash water is also ready.

Pour the plant ash water into the lard according to the proportion, and after it is completely saponified, it can be poured into the mold to cool.

Just as he was about to pour the soap liquid into the mold to cool, Chu Jieyi came back dragging a large cart of firewood.

"Where did you get it?" Lin Ruyi hurried forward to help, pushing from behind.

"Don't touch it, I can do it myself, don't scratch your hand." Chu Jieyi hurriedly stopped Lin Ruyi, she didn't need to do this kind of rough work.

"How can I be so delicate, I'm not a fool." Lin Ruyi was a little bit dumbfounded, she was so big, and she was not blind, how could she touch something that hurt her hand.

"With me here, you don't need to do these things, you can just go and watch. I went back to the village and brought the rest of the house. I will go to the mountain to chop some back in two days." Chu Jieyi turned the car Put it away, then unload the firewood, and walk to the firewood room with two bundles in one hand.

Lin Ruyi nodded, but where is this cart?

"Where is this car?" she asked.

"What I saw in the backyard probably belonged to the owner." Chu Jieyi said.

Lin Ruyi didn't pay much attention to the fact that there was a cart before, but they were lucky to have everything they needed.

While Chu Jieyi was stacking firewood, Lin Ruyi hurried to put the saponified soap liquid into the mold, and took out the sweet-scented osmanthus powder that was ground yesterday, and made five pieces, and made everything else tasteless.

Yesterday's 17 yuan, plus today's 15 yuan, made a total of 32 yuan.

Among them, the sweet-scented osmanthus flavored one costs 25 yuan, and the tasteless one costs [-] yuan, which is less than half of the agreement with Hanxianglou.

But there are still five days, so there should be no problem.

She now has 25 molds, which is equivalent to making 25 pieces at a time, which is relatively fast.

After a busy afternoon, it was getting late now.

Lin Ruyi was about to start preparing dinner again. This was the first meal when she moved to her new home. Lin Ruyi planned to cook something delicious.

But today everyone is busy, and there is no food at home, so I brought from home, two eggplants, a handful of beans, a few green peppers, and a handful of wild vegetables.

Originally, I wanted to cook something delicious, but now I can only cook some rice porridge, bake wild vegetable cakes, and fry two more vegetables.

While cooking, Chu Anan asked her while lighting the fire.

"Mom, let's move here now, so where should I go to mow the grass and dig wild vegetables in the morning?" Chu An'an was not familiar with this place at all, and couldn't find a partner to mow the grass with him, so he was inevitably a little worried.

Lin Ruyi thought for a while, and then said, "From now on, you don't have to mow grass and dig wild vegetables."

"Ah, then what am I doing? Then I have nothing to do?" Chu Anan looked at Lin Ruyi and asked nervously.

Lin Ruyi subconsciously wanted to tell her to go to school, but there were no girls' schools in ancient times, as if she really had nothing to do.

"Then play at home." Anyway, the family is not short of money now, so Chu An'an doesn't need to help with work, just let her play.

"But no one plays with me, and I don't know what to play with." Chu An'an used to mow grass and dig wild vegetables with a few girls of the same age in the village, and she was not allowed to do things every day. She did it, and she didn't know what she was going to do.

Lin Ruyi frowned and thought for a while, it seemed that it would be too boring to be idle alone.

"Then do you want to go to school?" Lin Ruyi asked.

Chu Anan's eyes lit up, showing longing eyes, but then shook his head again.

"Girls can't go to school, so I won't go." Chu Anan said in a low tone.

Lin Ruyi frowned and thought for a while. She had a bad idea. She didn't know if Chu Jieyi would agree. She planned to talk to him when she went to bed at night.
