Chapter 321 Why does friendship deteriorate?
In this busy world, everyone seems to be overwhelmed by their own affairs and is busy running around.
And time flies by as fast as a white horse passing by.
The next morning, there was still a biting cold wind, but the sun was shining on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth and hope to people.
Tian Xiaoxiao came to Pei Sanniang's house with anticipation in her heart.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw the table filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries. These were the results of Pei Sanniang's careful preparation using the recipe she gave her in recent days.
A look of surprise flashed in Tian Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she couldn't wait to taste them one by one.
She was intoxicated with every bite, the wonderful taste dancing on the tip of her tongue, leaving her with an endless aftertaste.
Not only do these pastries taste just as good as modern delicacies, they are even better in taste. They can perfectly bring out the original fragrance of the food, making people feel as if they are in a food paradise.
Tian Xiaoxiao praised Pei Sanniang's craftsmanship. She couldn't help but sigh: "Sanniang, you are so amazing! These cakes are simply works of art. I have never tasted anything so delicious."
Pei Sanniang smiled with satisfaction after hearing this and said modestly, "No, no, these cakes are all made according to the recipe you gave me. Please evaluate whether they meet your requirements or not."
"I am very satisfied. Your craftsmanship even exceeds any pastry I have eaten before."
The two chatted happily while tasting the pastries.
Tian Xiaoxiao discussed the opening of the store with Pei Sanniang, and finally apologized that she had to go on a long trip, so she would not be in Shengjing when the store opened. She was willing to give another 10% profit, and left the rest to Pei Sanniang.
Pei Sanniang rejected Tian Xiaoxiao's proposal, saying that being able to do business with Tian Xiaoxiao was already a pie in the sky, and she refused to accept Tian Xiaoxiao's kindness.
He also said that he would definitely run the shop well and would not let Tian Xiaoxiao down.
In addition, Tian Xiaoxiao put all the perfumes at Pei Sanniang's. The two stores opened on the same day and only sold perfumes.
After explaining everything, Tian Xiaoxiao told Pei Sanniang to make more preparations as this winter would be very cold.
Pei Sanniang said that she had seen Lord Tian's notice and that her money and reserves were enough to last through the winter.
After leaving Pei Sanniang's house, Tian Xiaoxiao and Daju walked on the street.
Daju: [You trust Pei Sanniang very much. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [She is very skillful, I admire craftsmen.]
Daju: [Aren’t you afraid that she will take your money and run away? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What are you afraid of? I can catch her anywhere. Besides, she has experienced the darkest moments in her life, so she will definitely grasp my light and won’t do anything that would damage her reputation.]
Daju: [I have to say, you are very good at judging people. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [That’s right. I have lived two lives. In my previous life, I was a gold medal entertainment reporter with sharp eyes and sharp vision. It’s impossible for me to not recognize people clearly.]
Daju: [Although Pei Sanniang was once a prostitute, she is loyal, resourceful, and courageous. People from the lower classes can better understand the suffering of the people. She actually has great love in her heart.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [That’s right, do you really think I fell in love with her at first sight? ]
Daju: [Why is that? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Of course it’s because the little cutie told me! ]
Daju: [You have a secret now, and you won’t tell me. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I was so busy that I forgot.]
Daju: [Are you ready? We'll set off this afternoon.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I’m ready. I have a habit of putting things in my bracelet every day.]
Daju: [You have a strong sense of crisis! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If it were you, after experiencing three years of hardship, you would be the same as me. ]
Daju: [It is true that people are born in adversity and die in comfort. 】
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, you are very talented now! ]
Daju: [Thank you for the compliment. 】
After lunch, everyone packed their bags. Tian Xingjian sent his family to a deserted place outside Shengjing City. He watched them disappear on the spot before he and Tian Lele got on the carriage and returned to the government office.
The yamen runners were still busy dispatching supplies, but the garrison camp was found to be frozen this morning.
Shengjing is located in the central part of Mingning State. It occasionally snows in winter, but it has never frozen in October.
Tian Xingjian couldn't help but become worried and went on patrol every day.
Tian Lele helped to sort out all expenses at the government office.
Shi Fei's footprints covered the entire area under the jurisdiction of Shengjing. Once he found that there were supplies that were not supplied, he would immediately report to Tian Xingjian.
Tian Xingjian would then send the garrison troops to deliver it quickly.
The people also noticed the abnormality of the weather, so they cooperated and prepared food at home to deal with the snowstorm.
The livestock were also protected.
After all, it is the source of income for the people and helps in farming.
On the fifth day after Tian Xiaoxiao and the others left, the first snow fell in Shengjing.
The moment the snow started falling, Tian Xingjian sent people to light flares in various places in Shengjing, telling the people to be prepared.
The snow fell for a whole day and a whole night.
When the snow stopped, Tian Xingjian went out for inspection.
The snow was over his knees, and the sheepskin boots that Tian Xiaoxiao had prepared for him were useless. After a walk outside, the insides of his boots were wet.
Fortunately, the preparations were sufficient and people stayed at home.
Tian Xingjian used the silver and money from Shengjing's private treasury to distribute it to the soldiers of the garrison as a bounty, and also gave the soldiers of the garrison the best cold-proof equipment.
The snow disaster in Xijing came earlier.
Tian Xiaoxiao arrived in Xijing, and Tian Xiwen, Tian Xiwu and Lin Bingsheng went to meet Nangong Rui and conveyed Tian Xiaoxiao's suggestions.
Nangong Rui asked Ma Xiaonao to write down everything and quickly mobilize the reserve supplies to deal with the snow disaster.
But there were too many people in Xijing, and their hearts were divided. Even if the emperor himself said there would be a snowstorm, some people would not listen.
So Nangong Rui’s approach was to first prepare the supplies needed for the entire city, and then distribute them door to door.
However, there were no down jackets in Shengjing. They were made but not delivered in time.
I guess it should be on the way.
After instructing Nangong Rui on the matters that needed attention, Tian Xiaoxiao led everyone away.
He didn't even get to see Nangong Rui.
No one was left to help Nangong Rui.
Nangong Rui originally wanted to go to the Tian family to see Tian Xiaoxiao, but when he got there, the house was empty.
Ma Xiaonao looked at the somewhat lost emperor and did not dare to speak. He had planned to travel with Tian Xiaoxiao, but a snowstorm came and he had to stay.
After all, Ma Xiaonao is now the most capable general around the emperor.
After Nangong Hui had been in seclusion for a period of time, he learned that Tian Xiaoxiao had come to Xijing. He came out to have a cup of tea with Tian Xiaoxiao and discuss the matter of cultivation.
Tian Xiaoxiao praised Nangong Hui for his rapid progress. Before leaving, she repeatedly told him to assist Nangong Rui well. She also left a ring full of emergency supplies and told Nangong Hui not to use it unless necessary.
Nangong Hui didn't know why Tian Xiaoxiao disappeared after saying she didn't want to see Nangong Rui. It was obvious that there was no love between the two of them.
Tian Xiaoxiao only said one sentence: "After a friend of the opposite sex finds a significant other, if you can't handle the relationship between your lover and your friend, then the friendship will only exist in name only."
Tian Xiaoxiao left Xijing and headed west.
On October 20th, Tian Lele rescued a man from the snow.
