Chapter 634: Unexpected First Encounter

d she picked up a feather duster and together with the two daughters-in-law, they began to scold them.The shouts and bickering from the Liu household could be heard from far away. Villagers passing by...While Jia Erfu and others favored the private room with a low bed and tea table, enjoying the view from by the window was a rare moment of relaxation.

And the lower half of the window frame was covered with a fine gauze curtain. Inside, one could clearly see the street outside, but people outside couldn't see inside. This was perfect for a woman to take a break.

At this time, Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen also came up to accompany the guests.

Upon seeing each other, the crowd naturally erupted in laughter and merriment.

Jia Er's wife and others showered her with praise for the stall.

Of course, they weren't exaggerating. Everything in the midst of the clouds was indeed novel and comfortable.

Mrs. Jia Er smiled and asked, "Whose clever idea was it to put this low kang bed right by the window A few young ladies could meet here for a rest after shopping, so convenient!"

"It's a shame I didn't have such a good place when I was young, otherwise I would come here every day!"

Tao Hongying said, "It's not too late now. In the future, make an appointment to go out with your daughter-in-law and granddaughters together. If you get tired, just come over and sit down. Just happens that the shop often launches new products, and you can also help us try how they taste."

Just then, Shui Ling and Shui Yun brought something over.

Nearly everything edible in the first-floor cabinets, they each took a portion, served with delicate plates, silver chopsticks, exquisite and beautiful.

And there are milk teas and fruit drinks in all sorts of shaped mugs, truly unlike any tea treats anyone has seen before.

The rest of the ladies were there only because Jiayin had taught them how to save lives at Jia's house. They felt indebted and had to come over for a visit, showing their goodwill towards the Li family as well.

Who would have thought that socializing could be this relaxed!

In the private room, with no men around, they could take off their shoes and sit however they liked, chatting freely.

Take a sip of warm milk tea and dig into a soft and sweet little cake. It's simply more blissful than being a god.

While inside the private rooms, the little girls were also having a blast.

A soft and cuddly plush toy held in your arms, or leaned against.

Chattering away, munching on snacks, sipping on bubble tea, and playing various brain teasers, competing against each other—it was simply a lively and bustling scene.

Jia Baoyu embraced Jia Yin and complained, "Jia Yin, I only had a sore throat. My mother insisted on keeping me in bed for two days. If it wasn't for me begging grandma, my mother wouldn't let me out today!"

"However, my grandmother and mother said they'll be visiting your place the day after tomorrow to thank you for saving my life."

"No need to thank me, I was just lending a hand. We have so much fun together, there's no way I could let you struggle!"

Jia Yin was afraid that Bao Zhu would get stuck again, so she snatched the peanuts from her hands and exchanged them for congee.

She continued, "There are still plenty of fruits on the mountain in my house that haven't been picked yet. When you come, I'll take you to sit under the trees and eat and pick them together."

"And my brother brought me a lot of nice flowers and fresh things from the south. I'll take you to see them all when the time comes!"

"Really" Baozhu's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. "Then the day after tomorrow will come quickly! I can't wait to sleep."

The other little girls also listened with envy, but they didn't dare to speak up. They could only watch longingly.

In fact, even if Jiayin invited them, they might not be able to go because their family is very strict and always emphasizes rules and etiquette...

Jia Yin saw their disappointment and said, "Let's just forget about this year. In May of next year, my county princess mansion should be finished."

"I live alone and it's very quiet. When the time comes, I'll invite you all to play together, go mountain flower-viewing, have hot pot together, and soak in hot springs!"

"Oh, really The county princess is so kind!"

"Oh, I really hope the New Year comes quickly and spring arrives soon."

“Only the County Princess’s estate, my mother would definitely agree!”

“Me too, my mother says women can’t just go out in public carelessly. My uncle’s family doesn’t let me go there very often either.”

"Me too, my cousin brought me some snacks to the backyard, and grandma wasn't happy."

The little girls were ecstatic and started whispering about how their parents at home were too strict.

This way of talking, as if they shared a little secret, made them feel closer.

It's a bustling shop, with people constantly coming and going downstairs.

Mrs. Jia Er and a few other ladies only sat for most of an hour before they took their leave with the young girls.

Since it's unavoidable, Jia Yin has to give each little girl a gift.

That was a woven basket she had specially asked the villagers to make for her. The basket also had compartments, and after filling them with snacks, she put the lid on top, which had decorative little flowers.

Those who don't know think the little girls are carrying flower baskets, but they're actually filled with delicious food.

The little girls were overjoyed and thanked her sincerely. They all invited Jiayin to play with them often.

Mrs. Wen and Tao Hongying were also laughing from ear to ear. Their little chubby girl finally had a friend, how wonderful!

As they were leaving, their group happened upon a young lady wearing a veiled hat and accompanied by a maidservant, entering the shop. Both parties briefly passed each other at the doorway.

Baozhu's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly cried out, "Sister Wan'er"

When Mrs. Jia heard the voice, she looked over and recognized her. "It's really Wan'er," she asked, "How did you come out today"

That young lady had a slender figure. She stepped forward, bowing politely. She was graceful and composed, speaking softly: "Auntie, I never expected to meet you here."

"Our house is out of the regular drawing paper, so I came out to buy some. I heard there's a new dessert shop that just opened, so I thought I'd get some for my brother to try something new."

Jia'erfu smiled and said, "The shopkeeper of this store is close to our family. Baozhu and I came today to offer congratulations. There are many people inside, so you should just go home first. I will have someone send it over later."

That young lady obediently agreed, and nodded politely to the other ladies. Just as she was turning her head to go down the steps, a carriage suddenly rushed over. The coachman pulled on the reins a little late, almost bumping into Young Miss Wan'er's maid.

The maidservant, young and frightened, cried out as she backed away. She bumped into Miss Wan'er, even pulling off her hat veil.

The incident happened suddenly, and everyone was stunned and didn't immediately rush to help.

The carriage door was swiftly flung open, and a young gentleman leaped out. He wore a long robe of bamboo-patterned silk, his hair pinned up with a jade hairpin. He was handsome and amiable, but there was a hint of urgency in his eyes and brows.

He hesitated for a moment, wrapped his sleeve around his palm, and helped the still dazed Miss Wan'er to her feet. He apologized sincerely, "Miss, I am truly sorry. There was something urgent at home, and I was in a hurry. I urged the driver to speed up, and accidentally injured you both."

"Look, are you hurt anywhere Do you need to see a doctor right away"

Miss Wan'er glanced at the young master, her face flushed red. She quickly put on her veil and said, "It's alright, I'm not hurt. But please be more careful next time. The marketplace is crowded, and it's easy to make a big mistake."

The young master quickly bowed, "Thank you, Miss, for your generosity. I will definitely be more careful next time."

At this moment, Mrs. Jia Er and Baozhu had already approached, protecting Miss Wan'er. Mrs. Jia Er asked, "Are you really alright Did you not get hurt"

Wan'er lowered her head even further, waving her hand..... But soon, she wouldn't have time for that anymore... 。Because the weather is getting warmer day by day, spring planting is about to begin. 。The nursery of the space garden, was stocked with batch...
