The three young and old men from the Lu family immediately put down their chopsticks and looked at her seriously, "What happened?"

This made Xu Mengxiao, who was about to pick out half-truths and lies, cough lightly, "Isn't my mushroom business not very profitable?"

Lu Lizheng was smacking his tongue. He could sell it for three to five taels every time. If others heard what his daughter-in-law said, he would definitely die of pain, but who knew she was really capable?

"My eldest brother used to work in a drug store, and he also became a doctor and wanted to study medicine." Xu Mengxiao didn't lie about this, and it became an opportunity for her.

"My eldest brother also taught us some things by the way. I became so beautiful because, well, I used the method he taught me."

"No wonder." But since he could see it every day, Lu Hai didn't think Xu Mengxiao had changed much.

Xu Mengxiao glanced at Lu He and saw that his face was expressionless, but felt that he might not believe his words. No matter what, as long as he didn't talk too much, he could find an excuse to make Uncle Li Zheng and the others feel at ease.

"He also left some medical books for me, with a few pieces of paper in them, including some beauty prescriptions, some beauty creams and the like. I also tried to do it, but I wasn't very literate at the time. Now I can almost understand these. After understanding the contents of the prescription, I discussed it with Boss Zhang and decided to make it for a look, so I bought these medicinal materials."

"If the effect is good, I might be able to sell him the beauty cream. The price will definitely not be low!"

Lu Hai had no hope for this. She didn't look like a woman. Could she make things for women?

Lu Lizheng said, "Is there anything you need our help with?"

Xu Mengxiao blinked and looked at someone, "I want to make a wooden box that can hold this kind of beauty cream. It's best to be exquisite and beautiful, so that it can be sold at a good price."

"You'd better make it before we talk about it." Lu Hai felt sorry for his elder brother.

Lu He responded, "Do you have any requirements?"

"No, as long as you do it." Xu Mengxiao must have given enough trust in asking someone to help, not to mention Lu He's aesthetics is indeed very good, even more elegant than a well-informed person like her.

"Let's wait until the carriage is finished. There's no rush." ​​Lu He also had a lot of things to do. In addition to the carriage, he also had to engrave Li Ji's waterwheel every day.

"But are you feeling okay?" Xu Mengxiao asked worriedly, thinking that he had been coughing a little these past few nights.

The man's brows were gentle and he said, "It's okay."

That night, Xu Mengxiao took the initiative to cover him with the quilt, "If I take your quilt away, you don't have to be polite to me."

Lu He curled his lips and said, "Let's cover it together."

"No, I have a quilt myself." Xu Mengxiao proudly brought over the new quilt that her elder sister had made for her. Although it was not as snug as Lu He's quilt, it still smelled like new cotton.

Lu He looked at the unsightly quilt, which made the already small bed even worse. He was almost squeezed to the edge of the bed.

Xu Mengxiao forgot that the new quilt was comfortable at first, but as soon as it got a little warmer, she immediately kicked off the quilt involuntarily.

Lu He, who was woken up by a kick, almost rolled out of bed together with the huge quilt. He quickly stabilized his body with quick eyes and hands, and a pair of black eyes suddenly opened.

The faint coolness in it instantly turned into melting spring water when he saw the culprit lying around beside him.

Before he could give his quilt to her, the little girl pulled it over and wrapped the thinner quilt around herself.

Lu He tried to get a corner, "Oh, don't grab it, it's mine!" Xu Mengxiao said fiercely.

"Xu Mengxiao!" The man gritted his teeth and coaxed softly, "Be good, give me some."

"don't want……"

A low, seductive chuckle seemed to ring in her ears. Xu Mengxiao unconsciously scratched her itchy ears and slept extremely comfortably.

The next day, she looked at the new quilt that had fallen on the ground, and then at Lu He without a quilt, and immediately returned the quilt to him with a guilty conscience.

After that, when I heard that Lu He was coughing a little more frequently, I felt even more guilty. I hurriedly mixed the best medicine into his tea, and breathed out when I saw his pale face softened.

Xu Mengxiao also told her eldest sister and mother the same words. Although the three of them were confused about this, they were even more happy that they would have another income in the future.

Xu Lingyan also accompanied Xu Mengxiao on a trip to the mountains and picked some ready-made herbs and flowers for making beauty cream. Knowing that the process was complicated, she also took away a tool and said she would help her share the work.

Xu Mengxiao did not refuse, so that others could not see the complete process, and she could still "cut corners".

"Anyway, you only need to make one box per month. If you make too many, it won't be worth it."

If anyone else knew that she could make money, they would definitely urge her to do more, but the men of the Lu family wanted her to rest more. Although the water tanker business, teaching cooking, and picking mushrooms were not too busy, Xu Mengxiao was always busy. Being missing also made them feel that they were not as capable as her.

Especially Lu Hai, who couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and build a house with the craftsmen in front of her.

In just over half a month, most of the new house was built. Lu Lizheng didn't waste any time in building Mr. Xiao's house. He hired people from Qianjia Village next door to build it. Since they were all his own people, it was easy to supervise the work.

Before Xu Mengxiao could grind and pound some materials, two days passed, and it was the day they set off for Fucheng.

Lu Hai was so excited that he got ready early in the morning. Xu Mengxiao checked the things in the space. Now she still has dozens of taels of silver. She makes more and spends it faster. She also bought a new set of fine men's clothes. , it cost her more than ten taels of silver.

"A few dozen taels should be enough to buy a nice horse, right?"

"Don't worry, I have it here too." Lu Hai patted his pocket. All his family's belongings were here. His father gave it to him, and his eldest brother also gave it to him. But when he thought about the reason why they gave the money, he immediately collapsed. Downcast.

It made him seem like he would bully Xu Mengxiao. He would eat, drink and stay all the way. Xu Mengxiao would not be at a loss for herself, so did he still need to pay for it?

The facts were not what Lu Hai expected. After getting off Uncle Wang's ox cart and on the way from the town to Fucheng, Xu Mengxiao began to behave in a "extremely extravagant and lustful" way, unpacking the baggage he carried with him.

Lu Hai's eyes widened instantly as he had never seen the world before.

"Here, why do you have so many beef strips?" It's hard to buy the promised beef, so why can she just eat the beef? God knows how much he loves eating this chewy beef jerky!

Lu Hai swallowed.

"There are also pork jerky, this pastry tastes good too." Xu Mengxiao generously distributed a Qingtuan and Xuemei Niang to Lu Hai.

This was naturally produced in her space. Although it wouldn't go bad, she still wanted to eat it openly.

"It's delicious and glutinous. Is this also given to you by your apprentice?"

"Yeah, I'm not even willing to eat it. I'm going to take it to Fucheng to sell it for more money and buy a better horse."

Lu Hai, who was muttering to herself about why she didn't bring the good food to her father and elder brother, immediately stopped chewing, feeling guilty, deeply guilty.

Xu Mengxiao could barely hold back her laughter and ate even more happily. Because of this embarrassment, she did whatever she asked Lu Hai to do and stopped confronting her.
