"Xichun, bring this bowl of jelly to the young lady."

Qinghe handed the thing in her hand to Zhao Xi.

The jelly is as transparent as crystal, with sweet brown sugar water flowing on it and embellished with tiny rose petals.

Qing He explained: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The young lady has been in a bad mood these days. Let's help her calm down."

Zhao Xi came to the study where the eldest lady worked and knocked on the carved wooden door with one hand.

Jiang Shuliu's voice was cold: "Come in."

When Zhao Xi pushed the door open, he found Jiang Shuliu standing in front of the desk. A long yellowed scroll was unfolded, and there seemed to be something painted on it. Jiang Shuliu looked at it carefully, and his frown could kill a fly.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Shuliu said without raising his head.

Zhao Xi sensed that the young lady was in a bad mood, and said carefully: "It's hot, the kitchen brought some jelly to the young lady."

"No, take it and pour it out." Jiang Shuliu raised his head, his face as quiet as a goddess but with a hint of anger: "Don't bother me unless it's something important."

Zhao Xi was kicked out.

She stood outside the door, gnashing her teeth in anger.

If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it. Why do you want to throw it away? Why are you so angry today?

Although Jiang Shuliu has been busy as a top these days because of the mine. It seems that the mine that originally belonged to the Jiang family was blown up, and Jiang Shuliu has been looking for the culprit.

Good porcelain is made from good mineral soil. The original form of porcelain is just stone. Porcelain stone is a mineral rich in quartz and sericite, as well as some kaolinite, feldspar and other rocks. Its complex mineral composition and chemical composition can easily meet the conditions for producing porcelain.

The famous Jingdezhen in Zhao Xiyuan's world is a mountainous area with rich porcelain mine resources, high-quality raw materials, and mature craftsmanship, which provide good innate conditions for Jingdezhen's porcelain making, thus reaching a higher starting line.

It is conceivable that mineral veins are important for the production of porcelain.

Jiang Shuliu probably wants to blow up the guy who blew up the mine now.

But these are not things Zhao Xi has the right to worry about. What she cares about now is the jelly in her hand.

Although the economy is slowly recovering, Zhao Xi is paid a lot as Jiang Shuliu's personal maid, but she has no chance to spend it. There are no purchasing tasks in the mansion, and maids are generally not allowed to leave the mansion at will.

Plus the hot weather, Zhao Xi really missed milk tea ice cream.

Zhao Xi walked with the tempting jelly in her hand, thinking: If I eat it secretly, no one will notice, right? Anyway, the eldest lady asked her to throw it away.

Then go into her belly.

Zhao Xi looked around cautiously. This was a small bamboo garden. The shadows of the bamboos were heavy, casting shadows on the stone tables and benches beside them. It was very quiet. There were many such places in Jiang Mansion. After all, it was a garden residence built in ancient times.

Zhao Xi simply sat there, picked up the spoon and started tasting it.

Well, it’s worthy of being something for a young lady. The jelly is very cold, the brown sugar is very sweet, and even the roses are very fragrant.

Zhao Xi ate happily, one bite after another.

"Is it delicious?" A leisurely and cold voice came from behind Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi turned her head stiffly and found Jiang Shuliu standing behind her, his hands clasped around his chest, and said slowly, "Didn't I tell you to pour it out?"

Zhao Xi was screaming in her heart and her face was red.

She stood up and said hesitantly, "I, I thought it was a pity, so I ate it."

Jiang Shuliu walked over slowly, smiling: "What's the pity? It's just a bowl of jelly."

"Huh? Why?" Jiang Shuliu's voice was teasing, and his evil intentions were obvious.

Zhao Xi's chin was about to poke her chest. It was really embarrassing to be discovered. Her voice was as small as a mosquito: "...Because I want to eat."

Jiang Shuliu sat leisurely beside the stone bench where Zhao Xi had just sat, resting her chin on her hand. The blood-red bracelet on her wrist slipped off, setting off her snow-white skin. "Continue."

What? Zhao Xi was confused.

Perhaps because she couldn't bear Zhao Xi's silly expression, the eldest lady mercifully repeated, "Keep eating."

What's wrong...

Zhao Xi sat down frustratedly and continued eating with a spoon.

While eating, she glanced at Jiang Shuliu's expression.

Looking at the pair of phoenix eyes that were staring at her quietly, Zhao Xi inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu.

Just like the cute pet videos that we often saw in the last world, the owner prepared a lot of delicious food for the little hamster, and then watched with satisfaction as the little hamster's cheeks bulged with food.

The owner's mood will also improve.

Damn it, Jiang Shuliu’s expression really looked happy.

The pleasure of tasting the food disappeared. After Zhao Xi finished eating, she put down the spoon stiffly and said, "Miss, I'm done. I'll go back first."

"Yeah." Jiang Shuliu said lightly.

Zhao Xi stood up, but Jiang Shuliu didn't seem to want to leave and just sat there quietly.

Zhao Xi pursed his lips and went back to the kitchen with the empty bowl.

"Oh, have you finished eating? It seems that the young lady has a good appetite today." Qing He said in surprise, looking at the empty bowl.

Zhao Xi didn't say anything.

But Zhao Xi never expected that there would be a follow-up to this incident the next day.

"Xichun, Xichun." A woman called Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi recognized her as the cook in the kitchen: "What's wrong?"

The woman brought out a bowl of jelly: "Here."

Zhao Xi was surprised: "Is it the eldest lady who wants to eat?"

"No," the woman smiled, "The eldest lady ordered me to prepare a bowl of jelly for you every day from this summer onwards."

She patted Zhao Xi's shoulder and said, "You are really liked by the young lady, little girl."

Zhao Xi held the jelly and said: Ah?

After finishing a few bites of the jelly, Zhao Xi walked alone on the gravel road of Jiang Mansion, thinking: What does the eldest lady mean by this? Does she like watching her eat? That's not right...

As he was thinking about this, Zhao Xi accidentally tripped over a protruding rock.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Zhao Xi closed his eyes, but was held up by a hand the next moment.

When Zhao Xi opened her eyes, she found it was a man.

It was the male protagonist who was caught cheating by her last time.

Zhao Xi was so scared that he quickly dodged: "Thank you, Master."

"Nothing, what's your name?" Jiang Shuge smiled handsomely. Even though Jiang Shuge was a fool, he was a good-looking fool.

There is generally no ugly person in the Jiang family. Of course, the eldest daughter is the prettiest.

"Xichun." Zhao Xi said honestly.

"What a nice name," Jiang Shuge said with unusual enthusiasm: "Which one is Xi, and which one is Chun?"

Zhao Xi didn't want to get entangled with him, so he found an excuse and said, "I'm sorry, Master. The eldest lady called me for something. I'll tell you next time."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuge was overjoyed: "I also want to go find my elder sister, let's go together!"

If I had known this earlier, I would have found another excuse. Zhao Xi smiled stiffly: "...Okay."

"What are you doing here?" In the study, Jiang Shuliu raised his eyebrows and looked at his visiting cousin. He usually treated her like a mouse seeing a cat, but now she actually came to him on her own initiative.

"Ah, sister..." Jiang Shuge finally shut up after chattering all the way.

Zhao Xi also found an opportunity to sneak behind the eldest lady.
