That night, the light in my bedroom was on until midnight.

At this time on weekdays, I have already rested, but the invitations for the birthday banquet need to be sent out three days before the birthday banquet, that is to say, these invitations must be completed by tomorrow at the latest.

Pearl first persuaded me earnestly, saying that my physical condition is not suitable for overwork. Seeing that I was advised not to move, she stamped her feet and left.

I looked up and saw her petite back disappearing outside the door, thinking that the little girl was angry and went back to her own room.

He shook his head helplessly and amusedly, then lowered his head and continued to write my invitation.

It's not that I don't want to rest early, it's just that reality doesn't allow it.

Unexpectedly, after about half a stick of incense, Pearl came back. Not only that, but also an ebony tray with a small celadon bowl on it.

Pearl brought the tray to the desk in front of me, took down the celadon bowl on the tray, lifted the lid, and a sweet aroma poured into my nostrils.

"What is this?" I asked.

Pearl said: "Soothe the nerves and refresh the brain, it has the effect of calming the nerves and refreshing the brain, and eating it can make people's spirit double."

I don't care what the effect is, the smell is really tempting, I couldn't help but take a spoonful of porcelain spoon and put it in my mouth, the fragrance was overflowing, and it melted in my mouth, so I couldn't help but taste it again and again, very Quick, one bowl will see the bottom.

For the next two nights, I relied on Zhenzhu's Soothing Soothing Soup to refresh my mind and prepare for the birthday banquet.

When there were two days left, the task at hand was basically done, and only the picture of Longevity and Boundless was still to be finished, so I thought about staying up for another night, and I might as well finish this thing, and I can do it tomorrow Something else, well, the letter from Jinyu Pavilion has been pressed for several days, and I haven't read it yet.

Today, when it was almost midnight again, I was about to ask Pearl to make me a refreshing bowl of soup. Unexpectedly, she directly blew out the kerosene lamp in front of the desk, and the room suddenly became much darker.

"Miss, what did you promise me? No matter how superb my medical skills are, what's the use? If you don't cooperate, it's useless."

I coaxed the little girl in a good voice: "Well, Pearl, it's not that I don't want to rest earlier, you see, it will be my grandmother's birthday party soon, and my painting is going to be given to my grandmother as a gift, you Be good, I promise, and sleep in bed after finishing the work."

Pearl didn't accept my favor, she looked at me with round eyes angrily: "Miss, don't coax me just because I'm young, there are two days left for the birthday party, and there is still time for you to draw clearly tomorrow, miss."

This villain! I complained silently in my heart.

In the end, I had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, can I sleep well now?"

Then Pearl turned her face like a book and showed a sweet smile: "Then I will go to Sister Qingqian and tell her that the lady is going to rest, and let her help the lady change her clothes."

I nodded and smiled helplessly.

Therefore, the picture of longevity without boundaries was finally completed two days before the birthday banquet. In the past few days, under the supervision of Pearl, I have lived an incomparably regular life.

Every day when I get up at [-] o'clock, I first do a set of five-bird exercises taught by Professor Pearl twice, which is said to be able to strengthen my body, and then I have a daily morning and evening meditation. After breakfast at Xishantang, I will start busy with birthday banquet As for the matter, after the two-day birthday banquet came to an end, it was changed to deal with some Jinyu Pavilion matters.Then, at noon, I started to have lunch. Since the list of taboo recipes listed by Pearl was sent to Jinhua Building, Pearl did not have any objections to lunch. After lunch, it was a nap. , Take a nap and then do what you didn't finish in the morning, and then dinner.

I don’t always eat much for dinner, so the refreshing soup that Pearl made for me every night in the past few days, I took it as dinner, with a few side dishes from Jinhua Building, I have nothing in mind Not satisfied anymore.

I like the refreshment and refreshment soup and stay up late to deal with affairs without feeling sleepy. I really like it, but... the birthday banquet is basically over. I don’t know if Pearl is willing to do it for me?

I finished reading the last book in the pile of ledgers, looked up at the sky, guessed that it should be You hour, every day at this time, Pearl would appear on time, and brought a bowl of hot refreshing soup, but At this time, she has not yet appeared.

"Miss, do you want to pass on the dinner?" the waiter beside him said Qingqian.

I shook my head: "Wait a little longer."

Not long after, the petite figure of Pearl holding the wooden tray appeared outside the door. I watched the white porcelain cup on the wooden tray getting closer and closer to me. Thinking of the craftsmanship of Pearl, I couldn't help swallowing.

The white porcelain cup was finally held onto the desk in front of me by a pair of chubby hands. Pearl lifted the lid and smiled her round eyes into crescent moons and said: "Today we are making Yangyi porridge. In addition to the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing blood, there is also a side effect of beautifying and beautifying the skin."

"I have carefully checked my ancestral medical books. In Miss's current physical condition, it is good to use porridge instead of rice. So from today on, please give me Miss's dinner. I can make one hundred and eight kinds of porridge , will never let the lady get tired of it."

I nodded, impatiently took the porcelain spoon on the tray, and began to taste the Yangyi porridge.

Like the refreshing porridge before, this Yangyi porridge also contains some crushed medicinal materials, but it does not affect the taste of this porridge at all. It is not that I have never tried medicinal food before, but it is not difficult to do it Eating is already a rare thing. Before pearls, I never knew that medicinal food could be so delicious.

I quickly finished a bowl of Yangyi porridge, Qingqian handed me the handkerchief, and then started to clean up the mess on the table.

After tidying up, I heard her ask with some hesitation: "Miss, is this porridge really so delicious?"

I:"……"

Did I just act so obviously?

Pearl smiled triumphantly: "Of course, if Sister Qingqian doesn't believe it, I will make it for you next time. However, if it is Sister Qingqian, let me think about it, you will definitely like beauty porridge."

Qingqian rubbed her nose and said, "Nursing beauty porridge, does it mean that drinking it will make people more beautiful? However, it is enough for me to be as beautiful as I am now..."

Pearl chuckled: "Sister Qingqian, women will never be satisfied with their appearance. If there is, it must be----"

Pearl was caught off guard, Qingqian hurriedly asked: "What is it?"

"As the saying goes, a woman looks like someone who pleases herself, which means that sister Qingqian, your 'pleaser' hasn't appeared yet, it's really rare----" After Zhuzhu finished speaking, she gestured to oil the soles of her feet.

Qingqian rolled up her sleeves and followed her: "Stinky girl, have you grown up? You dare to tease me——"

Then, there was a farce of you chasing me and running away, and you hitting me to hide.

I watched the pair of live treasures in front of me choke each other, and for no reason, I had an illusion of security in this world.

The next day, it was my grandmother's 65th birthday.

Tianshui Villa is not only famous in Yecheng, but also in the entire Shang Kingdom. My late uncle was also famous for his loyalty and friendship, so this time my grandmother's birthday banquet was very popular. Many people from the public, official circles, and local wealthy gentry came.

Fortunately, the male owner of the villa was not there this time, and it wasn't because my grandma had no intention of making a fuss, so the people who came were only the female relatives of various families, and that was enough for me to entertain.

My grandmother was born in the Lin family of Puyang, and she only gave birth to one child of my uncle in her life. Among the relatives from her natal family, there is only one old sister who is still alive. My daughter came to visit with a gift. This little girl is not too old. She looks like she is in her early twenties. She is wearing a woman's hair bun. Her appearance is not top-notch but dignified and beautiful. aunt.
