Chapter 219 Excellent Hearing
【@关悦: What’s wrong with eating more? Being able to eat is a blessing, do you understand? 】
【@周居善(大内总管):I ate it! The emperor didn’t even have this treatment! The seafood he ate was not as fresh as mine! The pine nut osmanthus candy was sweet but not greasy! (Picture)】
【@Master Liao: Sister Li, why don’t I have pine nut osmanthus candy? I want to eat sweets too! Believe it or not, I will cry right here for you to see! 】
【@江麗麗: Cry, cry louder, it’s better to cry until your throat becomes like a duck’s voice! What candy can a little kid with growing teeth eat! What should I do if I have cavities! Where can I see a dentist in ancient times? Don’t expect me to get you a set of dental equipment. 】
……
Partners posted pictures of the meals Jiang Lili fed the kids in the group, thanking their class darling for feeding them.
Jiang Lili was in high spirits when she received the news, and the carriage arrived at the inn.
Escort Cen and three other escorts were already waiting for Jiang Lili at the inn. The craftsman introduced by Zhang Xin was indeed reliable. He didn't ask too many questions after receiving the drawings. They just agreed on the price, paid the deposit and started working.
Master Cen has brought back the first batch of assembled fire rod component samples for Jiang Lili to see.
Jiang Lili saw that the appearance of the samples was fine and was no different from those made by Xincheng County Magistrate Hu, so she sent the first batch of samples to Master Liao in red envelopes.
After she finished these things, it was already dark and it was time to prepare for dinner.
Jiang Lili was thinking about the box of pastries she had sent to Xin Che. Guan Yue hadn't sent her any messages since she posted a message in the group to thank her.
She lit the candles on the mahogany round table. The dim candlelight flickered and reflected on the round table, adding a bit of warmth to the quiet space.
Jiang Lili was sitting at the table with her chin in her hands. Suddenly, the candle flame made a crackling sound, which scared Jiang Lili.
She couldn't help but privately chat with Guan Yue: [Sister Yi, sister Yi, have you sent the lunch box to Xin Che? ]
After sending this message, Jiang Lili covered her slightly hot cheeks. She suddenly realized that "pear blossom" is homophonic with her name, and the red beans decorating the seat also represent lovesickness.
Damn it, at that time she was just thinking that this frosting roll was so beautiful, so she quickly sent it to Xin Che while it was fresh. He was training the Xin family army at sea, and the environment was harsh. She sent this clever little dessert to him hoping that it would help Xin Che relieve his fatigue. After all, he loved sweet things the most.
After a while, Jiang Lili received a reply from Guan Yue, and Jiang Lili hurriedly checked the content of the message.
She didn't know why she was so concerned about the news here.
【@Guan Yue: Don't worry, I've asked Cheng Jiayu to take her to the prince's room. 】
Jiang Lili was a little dazed when she saw the three words "Cheng Jiayu". It turned out that Guan Yue's husband's surname was Cheng. She always thought that Jiayu was his full name, and she lamented that this surname was quite rare.
Wait, Jiang Lili suddenly remembered, didn't Guan Yue's husband lose his memory? Now he has recovered his memory and remembered his name?
She quickly asked Guan Yue: [Has Jiayu recovered her memory? ]
The chat box showed that the other party was typing for a long time before Jiang Lili received Guan Yue's message: [Cheng Jiayu is the prince's man. He did not lose his memory, but was just pretending. He is recovering from his injuries in the village.]
Jiang Lili:!!!
No wonder she felt that there was something wrong with the way Jiayu looked at Xin Che when she was in the village.
Wait, judging from Yijie’s tone, she seems to be angry about Cheng Jiayu’s concealment of the truth. No wonder she didn’t mention her gigolo during the communication a few days ago!
【@江麗麗: Sister, don’t be angry. 】
【@Guan Yue: I! No! Am angry! He is nothing! It would be very cool if the village chief married a few more pretty boys. 】
Jiang Lili looked at Guan Yue's words and thought, well, she was really angry. Jiayu could only wish her good luck.
Jiang Lili thought that Xin Che had not told her about Jiayu, but trusted her unconditionally in the arrangements of Xin's army, and she was confused for a moment.
【@关悦: Forget it, let’s not talk about the pretty boy anymore. You are so diligent in sending me messages. 】
After hearing Jiang Lili say that the food box contained sweets, Guan Yue lost interest. She also did not open the food box for Xin Che. After all, she received three times as much as Xin Che!
Seeing Jiang Lili so concerned about Xin Che's reaction, Guan Yue asked suspiciously: [What exactly did you give him that you are so eager to see his reaction.]
【@江麗麗: Nothing special, just a dessert. 】
Guan Yue didn't believe it, so she would go and ask around later.

The moonlight shines on the vast ocean. The modified Dawn passes through the sea fog.
On the deck, Xin Che put down the telescope. The cloud-blue headband that tied his hair and a few strands of black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind, looking unrestrained and free.
The sleeves embroidered with golden cloud dragon patterns swayed in the wind. Xin Che took out a thousand paper cranes from his sleeves and played with them in his hands.
The thousand paper cranes were made of colorful candy wrappers, and they sparkled with the light of laser paper under the moonlight, looking very beautiful.
Cheng Jiayu walked behind Xin Che with a slap mark on his left cheek. His Adam's apple rolled nervously. He hoped that the night was too dark and Xin Che could not see his face clearly. "Master, we have successfully passed through the sea fog. You should go and rest."
Since the day they set out from Haizhou to Nan'an, the master has not had a good rest and has arranged many things intensively.
Xin Che glanced at the crescent moon in the sky, and without looking back at Cheng Jiayu, he said calmly: "There is an ointment for reducing swelling and relieving pain on the desk in my cabin, go and apply it."
Cheng Jiayu froze. What the hell, the master has eyes behind him! He can see without turning around?!
Xin Che seemed to have read Cheng Jiayu's mind and added, "That slap was very loud. It's impossible not to be swollen."
He paused for a moment, "Didn't that stupid eagle come here today?"
Cheng Jiayu suddenly remembered that his master had excellent hearing. He touched his face and said angrily, "The hunting style of the Crown Prince's wife? No."
Xin Che stopped playing with the paper cranes. Cheng Jiayu shivered and suddenly felt the sea breeze was even colder, freezing the slap marks on his face.
He quickly remembered: "Oh, by the way, the Guanzhai leader asked me to send something to your room. It seems to be food. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Xin Che turned his head, glanced at him, then lifted his long legs and walked towards the cabin, quickly disappearing on the deck.
"Master, wait for me. I need to apply medicine!"
Cheng Jiayu hurriedly caught up. They still had training tomorrow, and he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the whole battalion.
Xin Che returned to the cabin and found an exquisite woven lunch box on his desk. On the lunch box was a small piece of blue floral paper with the words "Xin Che" written on it. The handwriting was beautiful and timeless. Xin Che recognized it as Jiang Lili's at a glance.
After putting the small piece of paper away carefully, he opened the food box with his slender fingers.
Xin Che was stunned when he saw what was in the food box. There were pear blossom-shaped pastries on the moonlit porcelain plate, the icing sugar looked like crushed snow, and the honey looked like branches.
When his eyes fell on the red beans that dotted the flower stamens, Xin Che's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Ah, there's so much icing sugar, Master, don't you always dislike sweet things? Give it to me!"
As soon as Cheng Jia entered the cabin, his eyes were attracted by the snacks in the food box. He stretched out his paw to pick up the plate.
