"It doesn't matter, Grandma Lou is ours now."
"Okay, then I'll give her half the can and let her try it."
Liu Lixin reluctantly took out another small porcelain box, divided half of the jar out, and gave it to Grandma Lou so that she could use it for a month to see the effect.
Returning to the back room, Liuli asked about the pregnancy pill.
"Girl, how can we give the pregnancy pill to Ye Yanran without making her suspicious."
"I'm afraid this matter is a bit tortuous. It's best to go through a few more twists and turns. Even if it is finally investigated, it can't be traced to us."
Liuli frowned slightly, she really couldn't think of any way to deliver the pregnancy pill to Ye Yanran without anyone noticing.
"Do you remember that I told you that when we were in Yuezhou City, Song Deshan once bought the medicine of tiger and wolf from a Taoist priest. We can also learn from him and find a Taoist priest to deal with it."
"Then I will make another human skin mask for the girl, and just destroy the human skin mask after use."
"A human skin mask is still not enough. Do you have any medicine over there that can change people's voices?"
"This is a bit difficult, but there is a medicine that will make your voice hoarse after you take it. I don't know if it will work."
"As long as it can cover up the original sound."
"That's not a big problem."
"Then you do it now. Wuwei will come to get the medicinal materials the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, let him take the pregnancy pill back and let Aunt Liu think of a way to spread the news of the pregnancy pill to Ye Yanran's ears."
Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang were both experienced in the back house, and Ye Jintang could tell them what to do.
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Liuli had always had the materials to make a human skin mask, but this time she was in a hurry and the work was a little rough.
But it is enough for use in the back house.
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Wuwei came to Dongyu Town to collect medicinal materials for the last time. He originally thought that Ye Jintang would not come, but he did not expect to see Ye Jintang sitting at the door of the warehouse feeding snow balls from a distance.
"master."
Zhou Wuwei's voice was full of joy.
"You're here. I have something to do with you. You arrange for workers to load the medicinal materials and we go in to talk."
"yes."
The carriage and workers had been found a long time ago, and after Zhou Wuwei greeted them, they loaded the medicinal materials in an orderly manner.
Ye Jintang and Zhou Wuwei stood not far away talking.
Zhou Wuwei spoke first and talked about the situation in the Hou Mansion.
"Master, as you expected, there are sacrifices and banquets to be held at the end of the year. Some of the utensils in the house are not suitable, so I took some from the old lady's treasury for use."
"The young man used the excuse of looking for the snow dumpling to take a look at it from a distance. There was a small cubicle at the back of the house where the old lady lived. Grandma Sun would always take out a lot of things from it. "
"My little measurement shows that the compartment is only 10 steps wide. How can it contain so many things? There must be a mechanism inside."
Ye Jintang did not expect to receive such an important clue so soon.
She was so excited that she wanted to go back to Danyang Hou Mansion immediately and move all the old lady's treasury.
"Very good. You can find so many clues, which is already very good. Please don't act rashly later."
"I understand, little one."
"I have something for you to do. Take this letter and pills to Aunt Liu. Don't throw them away."
Ye Jintang handed Zhou Wuwei an envelope with paint and a pregnancy pill.
"The little one must be handed over to Aunt Liu intact."
"This is the red envelope I gave to Aunt Liu and the others for the Chinese New Year. You should take it back too."
There were not many people waiting on Ye Jintang. She had no shortage of money and prepared a big red envelope for each one.
"The little ones will take Aunt Liu and the others to thank the master."
Ye Jintang gave Zhou Wuwei a few words in the warehouse and left before loading the medicinal materials.
The weather was so cold that Ye Jintang just wanted to sit by the charcoal stove and warm up, and didn't want to go anywhere.
Time flies to New Year's Eve.
New Year is just an ordinary day for Baima Temple. The monks do morning prayers and eat simple meals as usual.
But New Year's Eve is a completely different story.
The lanterns and candles that were originally lit at night were all lit in the middle of the afternoon on New Year's Eve, lighting up the entire White Horse Temple.
"Girl, I heard that at midnight tonight, the abbot of White Horse Temple will lead all the monks to burn the first incense, and then people sent by various aristocratic families will come forward to burn incense according to their grades."
"How about we go join in the fun, burn incense, and see who is sent from the Danyang Marquis Mansion?"
Ye Jintang shook his head. She was not interested in these things. She would stay up late at night and go out to endure the cold, so she wouldn't be too busy thinking about it.
"I'll go take a look that night. By the way, I'll take note of where the incense is placed in the Marquis Mansion. I'll pull it all out when I go to burn incense."
Ye Jintang couldn't laugh or cry, Liuli was really thoughtful.
As the sun gradually set, Xue Tuan, who had been dozing next to Ye Jintang's legs, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the courtyard entrance.
After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Master, it's me."
Zhou Wuwei's voice came from outside the door, and Grandma Lou went to open the door.
Zhou Wuwei came in carrying a food box.
"The little one is here to deliver dumplings to the master."
"Why do you need to make this trip? The temple also provides dumplings to pilgrims."
"The dumplings in the temple can't be compared to Grandma Liu's craftsmanship. I'll give them a try soon. They're definitely delicious."
Zhou Wuwei handed the food box to Aunt Lou and asked her to help make the dumplings.
After Grandma Lou left, he stepped forward to salute Ye Jintang.
Ye Jintang glanced outside the door. It was getting dark. It was probably not safe for Zhou Wuwei to go back at this point.
"It's getting late, why don't you come and eat dumplings with us tonight to celebrate New Year's Eve?"
"Thank you, Master."
With a big smile on Zhou Wuwei's face, he immediately went to the door to get charcoal, and added charcoal to the fire pit and stove in the house. The more it burned, the warmer the house would be.
Zhou Wuwei had just put a piece of charcoal into the fire pit when someone knocked on the door again.
Ye Jintang was wondering who would come to find her during the Chinese New Year.
Liuli went to open the door and was obviously startled when she saw the person coming.
"Master Jiang."
Liuli didn't know whether to put Jiang Zhi in.
After all, Ye Jintang is still a young girl who has not left the court. She often meets Jiang Zhi. If word spreads about it, it will definitely have some impact on her reputation.
"I came to White Horse Temple to offer incense. I thought it would be a little lonely for Miss Six to celebrate the New Year alone in the temple, so I brought some dishes to Miss Six."
"Master Jiang, please."
They were here to deliver food to Ye Jintang, so Liuli could only let them in.
Xue Tuan, who had been lying next to the charcoal stove and snoring, obviously raised his head and looked towards the door when he heard Jiang Zhi's voice.
When it saw Jiang Zhi's appearance, it swooped out and meowed towards Jiang Zhi.
