Chapter 538 Special
Qin Huiyin woke up from a nap and vaguely heard singing. She leaned against the window and listened curiously.
"Miss, you're awake." A maid with dark skin and cute dimples walked in. "I found some food for you. See if it suits your taste."
"I'm just hungry, thank you." Qin Huiyin turned and walked over. "What's your name?"
"My name is Maner."
"Maner, my name is Qin Huiyin."
"Miss, this servant is responsible for serving you. If you have any instructions, tell Man'er."
"What's that singing outside?"
"It's the singing of the tea pickers," Maner said. "They're picking new tea on the tea mountain lately. Everyone is happy and singing a few lines."
"How many people are here?" Qin Huiyin asked curiously.
"Except for those who have been living outside, there are probably more than 10,000 people who have lived in this Wuxiang Valley for a long time!"
Qin Huiyin was surprised.
This paradise can actually accommodate so many people, it is equivalent to a small town.
"I'm going to live here for a while, and I don't know if you guys would dislike outsiders. If there are any taboos, please remind me and I'll definitely pay attention."
"Miss, don't be so nervous. You've even entered the master's study. What else could be taboo here? The master's chambers are right next door. I heard that you're a good friend of the master's outside, someone he trusts very much. Miss Huan'er once loved this room very much, but the master didn't agree to let her live there."
"Hearing you say that, I feel a little embarrassed." Qin Huiyin touched the hair by her ear. "Man'er, how many years have you lived here?"
"More than ten years ago," Maner said. "I was born here."
Qin Huiyin looked at Man'er in front of her. The little girl was younger than her, which meant that this Wuxiang Valley had only existed for a dozen years.
But it’s also true that the aristocratic families were suppressed more than ten years ago.
Qin Huiyin tasted the bird's nest porridge that Man'er brought and said, "Man'er, this bird's nest porridge is too expensive. Next time, just make something else to eat."
"Bird's nest porridge is indeed precious. Even the lord was reluctant to eat it before and only gave it to Miss Huan'er." Maner said.
"Can I use your kitchen?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"Of course! The lord said that you can do whatever you want, and there is no need to restrict you."
Qin Huiyin went to the kitchen and saw more than a dozen chefs and handymen there, and greeted them.
"Hello, I'd like to see what kind of food you have here."
"Miss, please feel free to look around. We grow all the ingredients here ourselves. We occasionally buy some from outside, but not much, so our ingredients are very limited. If there's something you like that we don't have here, you can tell Chef Li. Chef Li will make a note of it and buy it next time you go shopping."
Qin Huiyin was originally a little restrained, but when she saw these people were so kind to her, that restraint disappeared.
"I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever you cook. I just wanted to see what's available and make some cough soup for...your lord."
Qin Huiyin found white radish and tangerine peel, made a cup of radish and tangerine peel tea, and took it to Puyang Qiubai's study.
There was a crying sound coming from inside. Hearing this sound, Qin Huiyin didn't dare to knock on the door, so she waited at the door for a while.
"Marriage is a matter of mutual consent, and besides, we have so many things on our plate right now. Congfeng can postpone it if he wants. You're only hurting yourself by pushing him to marry you."
"But brother..." Puyang Huan said aggrievedly, "No matter what great things you accomplish, it won't affect your marriage."
"I won't force Congfeng to do something he doesn't like. If he's not willing to do it now, it means he's not ready. Don't try to cling to him all day long. Do something you like. You're weak, so listen to the doctor and take good care of yourself. Otherwise, even if he wants to marry you, if you're not in good health, it will be difficult for you to have children."
"I know, I will definitely take good care of myself. Brother, who is that Miss Qin? I see that Brother Feng and you are quite familiar with her. Why does she live next door to you? You won't even let me live in that room?"
"Yinyin is my little disciple. She once saved Congfeng and me. She's only staying here temporarily, not for a few days. She only knows Congfeng and me here. If I don't place her by my side, should I place her with Congfeng?"
"Then I'd better arrange for me to stay by your side. Brother Congfeng needs to take care of me!" Puyang Huan said, "Then I'll leave first."
Puyang Huan walked out and saw Qin Huiyin coming from the opposite side. She smiled sweetly at her and said, "Hello, sister."
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Puyang."
"Sister, just call me Huan'er." Puyang Huan looked at the soup bowl she was holding. "What is this?"
"Radish tea." Qin Huiyin said, "Miss Puyang, would you like to try it?"
Puyang Huan covered her mouth and nose with a strange expression: "No, I don't like radishes."
Does this person want to give the radish to her brother?
It seems that he comes from a poor family and treats radishes as treasures and gives them to others to taste.
"Then I'm going in."
"Okay." Puyang Huan moved to the side to make room.
Qin Huiyin walked in carrying radish and tangerine peel tea.
"Master, I made you some radish and tangerine peel tea. It has the effect of reducing phlegm and relieving cough. Try it."
Puyang Qiubai put down what he was holding and walked over: "Yinyin, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Qin Huiyin was puzzled.
Puyang Qiubai took the tea she poured and took a sip.
——Of course, thank you for seeing my vulnerability.
As the lord of the Wuxiang Alliance, everyone has high hopes for him, but who can see his powerlessness and fragility?
"Is it not very tasty? I brought some honey. I'll add some to it for you."
"No, this is just right," Puyang Qiubai said with a smile. "Did you sleep well? It's too late today. I'll take you for a walk around the valley tomorrow to see the scenery. Although this is just a valley, it's a different world. Everyone has lived here for more than ten years and has built it up like a town. There's even a market here. Although it's not as easy to get everything as outside, it's still fun."
"Master, I feel that you have lost a lot of weight this time." Qin Huiyin said, "Do you really want to be the lord of this Wuxiang League?"
Puyang Qiubai drank radish and tangerine peel tea and said, "We have a deep blood feud."
"I heard there are more than 10,000 people here. There should be many of your people outside. Are these people all related to a blood feud?"
Puyang Qiubai was silent.
of course not.
Ninety percent of these people were recruited or rescued by them.
"I don't understand the hatred in your hearts. I only know that human life is limited. Every time we open our eyes, we are actually counting down. Every day we live is a day closer to death. Therefore, time is a precious thing. We should make ourselves happy all the time and leave no regrets."
