Chapter 36 Looks Familiar
After saying that, Bai Wangqi divided the things into small pieces and distributed them to everyone to taste.

"Wow, it's delicious! It does have an indescribable medicinal aroma, but it's not bitter or astringent. Instead, it makes the whole chicken soup more delicious!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've had such delicious chicken soup... No, it's medicinal food!"

“Well, I want some more!”

"There are several other medicinal dishes here, you can also try them!" Bai Qianxi continued.

"It seems that there are two medicinal dishes here that you asked me to make for my mother. Why do they taste better than those made by the cook in our house?" Madam Zhao couldn't help but speak, the taste in her mouth was endless.

"It should be that there are slight deviations in the weight of the ingredients. After all, herbs are both dry and wet, and it is difficult for non-professionals to control the heat and make the flavors come out perfectly. But even if there are errors in the medicinal food combinations I give you, it will not affect your body!" Bai Qianxi explained.

"No wonder, but mother has been drinking medicinal food these days, and her complexion is indeed getting better day by day." Madam Zhao said with satisfaction, "It's all thanks to you. When you open your business, your aunt will definitely come to congratulate you!"

"Congratulations, ma'am!"

"Hey, you're still calling me Madam? Call me Aunt!"

"Aunt..." Bai Qianxi spoke sweetly with a smile in her voice.

"Hey. Good boy!"

The two of them exchanged greetings, and everyone was watching. Not only was their relationship in mind, but more importantly, they didn't expect that Old Madam Zhao had been drinking her medicinal food, and it was showing effects.

This also makes people excited!

"I wonder when Fifth Miss's herbal medicine shop will open. I'll go there to join in the fun then!"

"Yes, this medicinal food is not only delicious, but also can regulate the body. I have to try it no matter how expensive it is!"

Bai Qianxi looked at the people's interest and smiled. "The opening time is currently scheduled for the seventh day of next month. I hope that all the ladies and girls will have some free time to come and have a look!"

"Of course, of course, this is such a delicious thing, of course I have to try it!"

"You foodie, this is a medicinal meal. I think you're going to eat it as a snack!"

"Ha ha……"

Everyone was amused by what they said and started laughing too, and the atmosphere became much more lively for a while.

Only the unconvinced Mrs. Li and her daughter Bai Qianyi were out of tune with this atmosphere!

"Mom, didn't you say that Bai Qianxi signed a property division agreement with her family? Where did she get the money to open a herbal medicine shop!"

Bai Qianyi spoke anxiously with a dissatisfied look in her eyes, and An's eyes were also filled with deep thought. She was the one who signed the contract and paid the money. Could it be that she did not spend the other four hundred taels at all, but hid it to open a shop?
But this amount of money is not enough to open a herbal medicine shop!

"Don't worry, let's talk about it when we get back home!" An said soothingly, but her eyes were full of viciousness!

Because of the appearance of Bai Qianxi, the banquet was no longer the usual flower-viewing and poetry-speaking banquet. Instead, everyone surrounded Bai Qianxi, sometimes asking her to feel their pulse and diagnose treatment, sometimes asking about knowledge of medicinal food, and some even wanted to propose to Bai Qianxi!
Anyway, time passed much faster than usual, and before we knew it, it was getting dark, and everyone left with a sense of reluctance to leave.

Bai Qianxi smiled and waved goodbye to everyone, and got on the carriage while Madam Zhao was reluctant to let her go. But just as Bai Qianxi got on the carriage, Madam Zhao's expression suddenly became serious. Looking at the carriage going farther and farther away, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes, turned around and walked quickly back to the mansion, and went straight to the old lady's room.

"The person is gone?" The old lady closed her eyes lightly and twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand.

"Mother, do you also think that girl's eyes and temperament are particularly familiar?" Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

The sound of the beads turning suddenly stopped, but only for a moment, and then it returned to normal. "It's just a pair of eyes that look like a god, what's so strange about it!"

"But... my wife always feels..."

"Okay!" The old lady interrupted her and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, which had been precipitated by the years, showed helplessness. "There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently. The second daughter-in-law has had a miscarriage and is inconvenient. The third daughter-in-law is a lazy person who doesn't know what to do! Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good rest!"

Mrs. Zhao knew that she didn't want to mention it, so she could only nod helplessly, "My daughter-in-law knows!"

The old lady watched the eldest lady leave, and finally her tense nerves relaxed. She couldn't help but slump down, her eyes filled with loneliness and sadness.

……

On the other side, Bai Qianxi took Bai Wangqi directly to the street. After buying a few clothes and jewelry for Bai Wangqi, she checked the layout of the herbal medicine shop.

When it was dark, the two of them returned home with their bags.

But as soon as he entered the mansion, he was stopped by servants and taken to the front hall.

Bai Qianxi knew what this was for without even thinking about it, but due to her status, she still had to go.
She asked Bai Wangqi to take the things back to the courtyard first, and she went to the front hall leisurely.

"You come back so late. How can you behave like a girl?" Bai Yan's voice came over as Bai Qianxi just entered the house.

"Father, you didn't treat me like a daughter when I was young! You never arranged beautiful clothes for me, beautiful jewelry, rouge and powder, and even the teacher you hired for my fourth sister to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was young, you never let me study with him! You didn't treat me like a daughter, so why did you ask me to learn the rules of not leaving the main door, not going to bed at sunset!"

She spoke each sentence calmly, seemingly with a smile on her face, but each sentence was full of sarcasm, which successfully made Bai Yan and An Shi look unhappy.

"Look at me, look at me, I just said one thing to you and you said ten more! I really don't know how your mother taught you!"

"You'd better not mention my mother. My mother died when I was a few years old. I have nothing to do with her. What's more, with what you have done, what qualifications do you have to mention her!"

When her mother was mentioned, Bai Qianxi's face suddenly turned cold. The look in her eyes, which had been calm just now, suddenly shot straight at Bai Yan like an ice cone.

Bai Yan was startled for a moment, and panicked, "What are you talking about? What did I do?"

"You know it well! And I'm very busy lately, so it's best not to come to me all the time if you have nothing to do!" Bai Qianxi's whole body was filled with impatience.

Seeing her expression, Bai Yan didn't know why he was yelled at by a little girl. He immediately felt a little regretful, but he still shouted loudly, "Stop right there! Do you think I want to see a rebellious girl like you? Tell me, where did you get the money to open this herbal medicine shop?"

"What's it got to do with you?" Bai Qianxi said, "Did father forget that we signed the contract a long time ago? Whether I have money or how I make money has nothing to do with you!"
