Chapter 109 Deep Vegetation (3)

After returning to the mansion, he sent people to deliver the wild vegetables picked by several people to the big kitchen, and sent the flowers bought outside to each room. He still went to the Gantang courtyard to meet Mrs. Yu first, and then to their respective yards.

On the way back, Yuyao specially took Shu Yao's hand, and said with an affectionate look:

"I heard that you made magnolia flower cake last time, which is different from the ones sold outside. Can you make other things? How about rose flower cake? Can you make it?"

Shu Yao smiled and said:

"Maybe it can be done, the color of roses may be brighter!"

Yuyao just laughed and called Hongxing. Shu Yao didn't expect that Hongxing was holding a basket in her hand, and when she lifted the blue cloth on the basket, there was actually a basket full of rose petals inside, which she had planned a long time ago.

Yuyao pointed to the basket and said:
"Are these enough to make two cages? At least let me do something different to please the old madam and madam."

Shu Yao knew how hard it was for her as a concubine to live in the mansion, so she said with a smile:

"Enough! When are you going to do it? But you want me to go to your yard?"

Yu Yao shook her head, her face darkened, she glanced at Yu Min who was far behind them, and said:
"Let's do it now! Yuwen hates me the most for being obedient... I'd better go to your place, teach me, and I can count as learning a craft."

Shu Yao didn't care and nodded.The two stood and waited for Yuwen to approach, and Yuyao smiled and said to her:
"I want to follow Miss Li to see my sister-in-law, are you going?"

Yuwen has never been interested in these visits, with a bit of disdain on her face, she said:

"I won't go, you go, there are too many people in the province to make trouble with my sister-in-law."

Yuyao nodded, watched her walk away, and then walked towards Magnolia Courtyard with Shu Yao on her arm.

The two chatted about how to make various pastries, but Shu Yao always felt that Yuyao was suddenly absent-minded, and sometimes couldn't catch her words.Just wondering, Yuyao touched her wrist suddenly, she was shocked and said:

"Oops! I lost my jade bracelet!"

Everyone looked at her wrist, and they saw that her wrist was empty, and there was nothing there.Yuyao panicked, pulled Shu Yao and said:
"Sister, help me anyway, let me borrow the two of you to go back and look for it with me. I was still there when I got off the carriage, so I must have thrown it somewhere in the mansion!"

Shu Yao looked at Mother Liu and Chuntao who were following her, then at the rockery in front of the bamboo grove, and seeing Yuyao's anxious look, she thought that the jade bracelet was too precious for her to let her go. In such a hurry, he said:

"That's it, let's help find it together!"

But Yuyao said:

"How can I even trouble you together." He said, took the basket from Hongxing's hand, and continued:
"I'll give you the petals too. You just wait here. Let's look carefully along the way we came. We'll come here to look for you when we come back." After speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Ms. Liu was a little embarrassed. According to Shu Ya's account, she and Chun Tao had to stay close to Shu Yao, but the Fourth Miss made it clear that they should follow her to help.Thinking about meeting Shen Junzhuo on the bank of the Yinyue River just now, and expecting that he is still outside and unable to come back, he relaxes.

Shu Yao didn't care, this place was not far from Magnolia Courtyard, she was fine walking back by herself, so she waved to Mama Liu and Chuntao, signaling them to come and help.

Mama Liu and Chuntao agreed, and went after Yuyao and the others to inspect the grass on the road and the bushes they had just walked.

It was not too late, the bamboo in the bamboo forest had sprouted new leaves, tender green, and there were many thin bamboo shoots emerging from the ground, some tall and some short, of different sizes.Shu Yao walked over to see how many bamboo shoots there were.

While counting, a voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Shu Yao!"
