Chapter 3: Entering the Mansion (Part 2)
She feels that the name is not good, too pretentious, "Ten Flowers, let's call it Perfect in Every Way!"
I wonder how he will react upon seeing this dress? Will he be even more surprised than tonight?
That day, she was drawing the "Blossoming Wealth" picture in the house. Qi Qi wanted to make some exquisite snacks for her to eat, and she suggested to Qi Qi, "Why not use flowers as a mold to create something novel."
He is the kind of wonderful person she imagines
Jinxiu saw that the Eighth Miss was in high spirits, so she dared not say much more and could only place Ronghua in a pavilion before hurriedly returning.
She always wants them to understand that things obtained at the cost of human lives not only cannot last long, but also bring about unspeakable suffering
The exquisite surroundings were filled with hesitation, and after a long while, it was finally said, "That was originally the room of the Fifth Miss. After her passing, no one has gone there since." It had long been rumored that the house was haunted, and later there were whispers suggesting that the Fifth Miss's death was suspicious. Whenever she passed by here, she would walk quickly, not daring to glance even once, fearing she might see something unclean. As the rumors grew, the matriarch simply forbade anyone from mentioning this courtyard again, let alone entering it.

Miss Chun Yao is skilled at making delightful pastries; you may have her prepare some for you to taste in the future
perfect in every way
Ronghua glanced at a few pages of the book and casually remarked, "In the past, my mother hired a cook, and one type of pastry she made was quite delicious and had a very unique appearance. I heard she used to serve the royal family as a maid."
He is also unaccustomed to the dishes served at banquets. She recalled those pastries and quietly prepared a plate with Qi Qi in the evening
The origin of this snack is that Ronghua and Tushubian deceived Chun Yao; it was not made for her by any cook, but rather a scheme devised by her and Qiqi.
Perfect in every way, she originally intended to take advantage of the auspiciousness of this name, believing that they would ultimately have a perfect ending
Chun Yao indeed did not disappoint her; the pastries she brought out were almost identical to those in Rong Hua's memory
Before dinner, Chun Yao entered the room with red eyes. She had originally gone to prepare snacks with joy, but who would have thought that the young lady would criticize her for not doing well. After the young lady got married, her food and supplies were of a higher standard than those in the Tao residence, so now eating what she made was naturally unfamiliar to her
What happened? Did you not complete the task properly
Miss Ba is quite unpretentious. As Jin Xiu relaxed, she became more talkative. When the lunch was served on the table, Jin Xiu said from the side: "The eldest young lady has returned, and the kitchen is busy. Our cook has also been called over to help, so the dishes are inevitably simple. Miss, please give it a try. If it is not satisfactory, I will go and call the cook back to prepare some more."
Understanding Ronghua's thoughts, Jinxiu said: "The main concern is that the son-in-law may not be accustomed to the food in the residence, so I called a few cooks over to prepare some signature dishes."
There was a distinct glimmer of unwillingness in Chun Yao's eyes
"Miss Ba, you cannot go over there." Jin Xiu hurriedly stopped her
Rong Hua smiled faintly and closed the box. Just as she was about to walk out of the room, she suddenly heard someone in the courtyard calling out in a trembling voice: "Eighth Miss, are you here?"
He may not have expected to see such a pastry again
The young lady returned to her family home, and no one paid attention to her, a newly arrived illegitimate daughter in the household. While it was said that they were taking care of her by bringing her meals, to put it plainly, they simply did not want her to attend the evening family banquet, fearing that she might embarrass herself by not understanding the rules.
If it were not for the vows made by the sea and mountains, she would not have taken the risk to meet him time and again
Ronghua set down the book and smiled, "The shape resembles ten peonies, from the bud to full bloom, each piece of pastry represents a different form of a flower opening. Just from the exterior, it is quite special, and the filling inside is also carefully considered..." Ronghua paused, and indeed, Chun Yao was already captivated by the story.
Jinxiu, let us go out for a walk
Chun Yao nodded slightly, "I haven't done it for quite some time, so my hands are a bit unskilled."
Ronghua was deeply immersed in memories of the past when Chun Yao returned after leaving
With a charming smile, "I didn't feel it just now, but now that you mention it, I really do feel a chill behind me," Ronghua deliberately glanced around the garden, displaying an air of lingering interest. "I still want to explore other places; could you help me go back and fetch a cloak?"
Ronghua found it somewhat strange; the Tao residence was not an ordinary mansion, and there were usually quite a number of guests visiting. Just the large kitchen alone had dozens of people, yet it still was not enough.
As soon as Chun Yao finished speaking, he heard someone entering the courtyard. Chun Yao lifted the curtain to take a look, and it turned out to be Jin Xiu, who was beside the eldest madam. Jin Xiu had not been in the residence as long as Chun Yao, and she was very respectful towards the eldest madam's trusted maid, addressing her as 'Miss' and saying a few words. After that, she stood to the side, waiting for Chun Yao's instructions
It is normal for a master to vent their frustrations on others when they are unhappy. Although Chun Yao thought this way, he still felt wronged. He had already tried to adjust his emotions while outside, but unexpectedly, the Eighth Miss still noticed.
Ronghua smiled gently
Chun Yao could not hide his joy, "Eighth Miss is willing to teach me, hetushu.com is naturally good, but I fear I am too foolish to learn it."
Ronghua looked outside while sipping tea, "It seems quite lively outside"
The last time the son-in-law was at the residence, he hardly ate anything, which is also the reason why Madam asked Miss Chun Yao to go over
Always by my mother's side
It is night again, which is quite eerie. Miss Eight, let us return!
Qiqi's hands are quite skillful; she actually managed to make a plate of food that looks quite presentable, just as she described.
Ronghua nodded slightly, and Chun Yao happily took it to the young lady
Upon moving into the residence, the matriarch will certainly first seek a trusted confidant to monitor her. Ronghua is aware of several individuals trusted by the matriarch, and during her time outside the residence, she has made ample preparations.
Even if I were to marry, I would not marry a legitimate daughter of the Tao family
Or he might believe that there truly is reincarnation in this world
Ronghua said: "At first glance, you are clearly someone skilled with your hands. This is not difficult at all. If you do it well, present it to the young lady for her to taste."
The family banquet has begun, and the entire residence is adorned with lights and decorations, creating a lively atmosphere
Chun Yao hurriedly rushed out, while Jin Xiu beside her let out a slight sigh of relief, unconsciously lowering her shoulders. In front of the matriarch, she was inherently of no use, always being cautious and meticulous, fearing that any mistake might occur.
Chun Yao smiled, "This name is good"
Chun Yao walked over to Rong Hua and said, "Eighth Miss, the eldest Miss wants to eat the pastries I made, and Madam asked me to come over for a while"
Everyone has weaknesses, and she has also searched for a long time
Chun Yao indeed became interested, raising his head to look at Rong Hua, "I wonder what kind of pastry it is"
The young lady will surely like this; this plate of pastries will be presented at the evening family banquet, and at that time, the son-in-law will see it
Do you and the * picture * book want to try making it?
Unintentionally, I walked to my former residence
The items brought into the residence by Ronghua have not yet been tidied up, and Jinxiu is busily helping to organize them. In her eyes, every young lady is a master, and her duty is to serve them all properly.
Qiqi said: "Is the name of the dim sum 'Prosperity in Bloom'?"
Seeing Ronghua nod, Chun Yao continued, "Jinxiu is quite attentive. Whenever the Eighth Miss has something to attend to, she instructs her to handle it. I have already instructed the staff below to bring the meals into the room today. Whatever the Miss wishes to eat, let Jinxiu inform the kitchen to prepare it."
It has also been several years
Ronghua approached the inner chamber, removed several blue bricks from beneath the bed, and found a brown box inside. She opened the box, revealing the garments within.
Once Jin Xiu finishes her tasks, Rong Hua invites her to come over for tea, "How long have you been in the residence?"
By the way, miss, I forgot to ask, what is the name of this pastry
Ronghua watched the busy Jinxiu by her side. This girl was honest and diligent, somewhat resembling Qiqi. If Qiqi had not followed the wrong master, she would not have met such a tragic end. Now that she has been reborn, it is uncertain whether Qiqi has already been reincarnated.
It was merely that she had placed too great expectations; in the end, it was just ten dough balls, hardly deserving of the name "perfect".
Indeed, it is a good name; the young lady and the young master will surely like it.
Miss Ba's room is like a forgotten corner.
I am merely a child born out of wedlock
Fortunately, everything is within her plan. The matriarch has sent Chun Yao, a girl who has been raised by her since childhood and is not easy to manage. For now, she can only use some methods to keep her stable, and for the rest... she must proceed step by step.
She had long thought that everything had changed and that the past had already become a mere illusion. Yet, when she spoke of him, it still left her with a sense of disorientation.
He smiled at her, "I never thought you were that kind of mediocre person"
Ronghua pretended to be completely unaware, "I heard from my aunt before that my elder sister married very well"
Ten flowers, each crafted with exquisite detail
Yes, the young lady and the young master are coming back
Ronghua feigned a look of curiosity, "Why?"
Speaking of this, Chun Yao was quite pleased, "Of course, the son-in-law not only manages family affairs well but is also good to the young lady. After several years of marriage, he has only the eldest young lady by his side." Chun Yao gradually found himself enviously remarking, "Our eldest young lady has a good life and a good fate."
He does not like to eat the food from the residence, and some things have surprisingly not changed over the years
He has probably forgotten about the past, and she is helping him gradually recall it
Ronghua's fingers traced the exquisite patterns on the teacup
It is not the case; it was only recently allocated.
This courtyard has truly not been visited for a long time, with weeds growing everywhere. Ronghua pushed open the door, and the smell of dust immediately rushed towards her.
Most of the items in the room have already been taken away, and the remaining ones are in complete disarray.
She had thought that he would keep his promise
Later, she met him
By the pond, they met by chance. He was handsome and elegant, as gentle as a breeze in spring, infused with a warm tenderness that made her heart race.
The garden is vast; compared to a few years ago when Ronghua was in the residence, it has indeed been expanded by another half. The Tao family has certainly become more affluent due to the eldest young lady's marriage.
Ronghua watched the figure of Jinxiu gradually fade away, then turned and walked towards the abandoned courtyard
She reached in and felt, the dress was still in good condition
