Xia Zixuan said, "Le Han, you drive the carriage to the town to deliver the New Year gifts to Shopkeepers Chen and Liu. Le Shan, you drive the carriage to the county town with Ying San."

Several people quickly said: "Yes, Miss (Miss Xia)"

Xia Zixuan asked Jinghe to give the bundle and the jewelry box to Yingsan, and said, "Yingsan, take these two things to Sister Xinyao."

Ying San took the bundle and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, Miss Xia. I will hand it over to Madam Chu myself."

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then you guys can set off!"

"Yes, girl." Several people said goodbye.

After seeing them off, Xia Zixuan returned to her room. Seeing that Zhiqiu had not been seen since he collected the dishes in the morning, Xia Zixuan asked Jinghe, "Where is Zhiqiu? Why is he gone?"

Upon hearing this, Jinghe said quickly, "Young lady, Zhiqiu is at Aunt Cui's place, learning needlework from her! She said she has learned how to make clothes for you."

Xia Zixuan couldn't bear to watch Zhiqiu's needlework when she saw it by chance. She asked, "How is your study going?"

Jing He said with an indescribable look on her face: "Miss, why don't you tell Zhi Qiu not to learn anymore! Madam Cui asked her to embroider a flower, but she embroidered a bunch of flowers and I don't know what they are. She also asked her to embroider a mandarin duck, but I can't tell whether it's a duck or a bird. Even Madam Cui's excellent embroidery skills can't save her."

Jing He continued, "Madame Cui tactfully persuaded her not to learn anymore, saying that her cooking was delicious, but she just wouldn't give up. So Madame Cui had no choice but to teach her again patiently, and only let her embroider a flower she saw, and didn't let her embroider anything else."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "That girl really had a sudden idea. Let her learn it for two days! If it doesn't work, she will give up."

Jing He pursed her lips and said, "I don't think so. Alas, Aunt Cui can actually stand her."

Xia Zixuan raised her lips and said, "Apart from teaching etiquette seriously, Aunt Cui is also a very nice person. If you have any questions, you can ask Aunt Cui. This way, she won't be bored when she's alone."

Jing He asked in confusion, "Miss, why don't you let Aunt Cui stay by your side and serve you?"

Xia Zixuan heard this and said, "We don't need Madam Cui to follow us here now. This place is not like the capital."

Jing He thought about it carefully and it made sense. "Will the girl live in the capital in the future?"

Xia Zixuan thought of Mu Chenyi's identity, but Mu Chenyi's fiefdom was here with them, and he might not necessarily live in the capital.

She said, "That's not necessarily true. There are too many intrigues in the capital, and it would be very tiring. Our small mountain village is better. It's fine to visit the capital once in a while."

Time passed quickly as the master and servant talked. Jing He glanced at the sky and said, "Miss, it's time for lunch. Do you want to go to the restaurant or eat in our yard?"

Xia Zixuan stood up and said, "Let's go to the restaurant! We'll be busy after dinner. Go wait for me outside for a while."

Jing He heard this and quickly said, "Yes, young lady."

Xia Zixuan sent Jinghe out. She came to the space and took out a manual juicer. She was thinking about making several different kinds of steamed buns.

After leaving the space, Xia Zixuan came downstairs and handed the juicer to Jinghe, saying, "Put this in the kitchen first, you will need it later."

Jing He took the juicer and didn't ask what it was. She just listened to what the girl said. "Yes, girl, please go to the restaurant and wait for a while."

Xia Zixuan waved her hand and said, "Okay."

After lunch, they rested for an incense stick of time, and then Xia Zixuan brought Jinghe and Zhishu to the kitchen.

When Xia Xiuhong and Xia Xiulan saw her coming, they quickly bowed and said, "Hello, young lady."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "No need to be polite, let's start making the dough now!"

Several people heard this and said, "Yes, girl."

Xia Zixuan asked Jinghe, "Where's the juicer I asked you to get before lunch? Take it out now, I'll need it later."

Upon hearing this, Jinghe quickly went to the cupboard nearby and took out the juicer. "Girl, the juicer is here. Tell us what to do."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?"

Jinghe quickly replied: "Girl, everything is ready."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Jinghe, take out the spinach first, blanch it in a pot, then add a little baking soda, put it in a juicer and squeeze it into spinach puree, then add yeast and flour, stir it with chopsticks until it becomes flocs, knead it into dough, and let it rise."
