The fallen plum fell like a snowstorm, covering her entire body.

The wind blew down the falling flower blossoms, and the pedestrians came and went, all of them surrounding a thin man in a jacket with his hair tied up, standing outside a short, gray wall.

The man had a pair of small triangular eyes, and between his brows was a large black mole. As he spoke, the mole also shook up and down, like a jumping grasshopper.

The surrounding people stared at the "grasshopper" and listened attentively. After he finished speaking, they all took out their silver coins and bought the wooden signboard from the man.

Mu Zi was the member of Mountain Note.

There were only five hundred Mountain Note membership cards, the ones in the shop had already been snatched away, leaving only the ruyi with a dozen or so.

Song Ruyi's brother, Song Yidao, had earned ten taels of silver in the morning by holding these wooden tablets.

He put the silver into his pocket contentedly and was about to leave when another man suddenly appeared by the short wall.

"I heard that you are selling the members of Mountain Note here?"

the man asked.

"You came by a bad coincidence, it just sold out, it's gone." Song Yi clapped his hands, indicating that they were empty.

The man laughed, "I don't want the plate. I just want to know, how did you make this thing?"

That man was Da Chun.

He listened to Manager Tong's instructions to find out where the shop assistants had come from, but who would have known that every single person in the Mountain Note was talking like that? After wandering for a long time, they still hadn't found anything.

On the way back, he coincidentally bumped into Song Yidao, who was selling this brand.

"My sister is a servant girl in the Mountain Note."

"Oh, I see." Da Chun's eyes lit up.

Before he could ask further, he heard Song Yidao speak again, "In the past, I was a servant at the Mountain Note."

"Why aren't you doing it?" Da Chun was suspicious, "The Mountain Note is currently our Xin Ning's best wine house, the Mountain Note's owner is earning a lot, so no matter what, this shop assistant will have to follow and eat."

"Sigh, isn't this all for these ten or so tags?" Song Yidao scratched his head, "My sister was clumsy and was discovered by the boss."

"Can we not ask that boss to let your sister stay?" Da Chun calculated in his heart, "How about this, let your sister go and plead for mercy, if I were to go in again, I will give you two siblings ten silver coins."

"This …" Song Yi was curious and pleasantly surprised. "Why is that?"

Da Chun patted Song Yi's shoulder: "Just do it, when the time comes, you will get the benefits!"

On the first day of winter, Jin Xiaolou made up her noodles early in the morning and covered the dough with a dustpan.

The two of them sat by the well in the backyard, scooping up water from the well to wash the scallions until they were as green as jade.

Raising her head, she saw Kuang Ruyue carrying Lin'er in, with Ru Yi following behind him.

"Shopkeeper, this girl said that she lost her job and got beaten up by brother when she went back. She wanted to beg you to let her stay no matter what." Kuang Ruyue pushed the ruyi scepter forward.

Jin Xiaolou saw that there was a purple bruise on the girl's neck, as if she had been beaten up by someone else.

In this winter, Ru Yi was only wearing a single set of clothes. Her little face had turned blue from the cold. She looked really pitiful.

"Your brother treated you like this, yet you stole a membership card for him?" Jin Xiaolou said.

Ru Yi fell to her knees, unable to pull her up this time.

She threw herself onto the ground and sobbed, "Boss Jin, it's all because of me. I won't dare do it again, but if you chase me out, my brother won't want me either. I'm afraid I'll freeze to death outside. "

"Where's the membership card?" You gave it all to your brother? " Jin Xiaolou asked.

Ru Yi nodded her head with tears in her eyes. "Mm, after I gave it to him, he turned hostile and chased me out of the house with the stick."

"What a fool." Jin Xiaolou bent down to pull her, "Get up, the ground is cold."

Ru Yi's eyes widened. "Shopkeeper, can you forgive me? You allowed me to stay?"

Jin Xiaolou nodded his head: "In the future, don't do anything foolish. We will make dumplings today, you should go and give us a hand."

Seeing Ru Yi run away happily, Jin Xiaolou let out a long sigh.

This era's women had to look at their father and brother's eyes before they were married, and after they were married, they had to listen to their husband's words. If he could help them, then he would do it.

As he was thinking, he saw that Gui Zhi had already rolled up his roll of clothes and quickly rolled up his sleeves before heading inside.

In the city of Xin Ning, during the winter, there would be a reunion dinner. Jin Xiaolou closed the shop for a day and gave a leave to all the shop assistants.

Other than Lv Yun who was an orphan girl with no home to return to, the rest of the employees all returned.

At this moment, the remaining people were all gathered in the kitchen. Jin Xiaolou cut up some good pork and beat up the eggs inside, adding the cabbage and scallions, and filled up the stuffing. When the fragrant oil dripped, Gao Lang, who was greedy, immediately came over.

Gui Zhi and Lv Yun rolled out a piece of vegetable plate each, and Ru Yi sat in front of the stove to burn some firewood. Her face finally had some color to it.

Kuang Ruyue brought Lin'er into Gao Lang's embrace and wrapped them with dumplings.

Gao Lang took out a small piece of dough and handed it over to Lin'er. Lin'er smiled as he held it out, and as if he was kneading mud, he began to knead the dough into various shapes, and before long, his small face had turned white and black.

In the next moment, Gao Lang raised his head and sneezed loudly, and white flour flew all over the place like snow.

"Enough, this dumpling will be made into a round one for you." Kuang Ruyue patted the flour on her body, and laughed unhappily.

Unexpectedly, Gao Lang suddenly shoved the Lin'er onto Zhou Shuli who was standing at the side. "My wife, I have a headache, I want to go back to my room to sleep."

Jin Xiaolou was startled, she was a little worried, must have received a cold.

Seeing that Gao Lang had already left the kitchen, Jin Xiaolou quickly went up to the stove to boil a bowl of Red Sugar Ginger Tea, and brought it into Gao Lang's house.

Gao Lang laid on the blanket with only his fluffy head exposed.

Jin Xiaolou knocked on her head: "First, get up and drink the ginger tea.

Gao Lang did not move, and spoke in a low voice: "My wife, I am not drinking, can you let me sleep for a while?"

Jin Xiaolou frowned: "Then are you going to eat dumplings tonight?"

Gao Lang suddenly blinked his eyes and said, "Yes, my wife, wrap the dumplings well. I will definitely eat up."

"However …" Gao Lang paused, "Don't pack too quickly, I need to wake up very late."

"Alright." Jin Xiaolou was helpless, she placed the small bowl on the table, "Then I won't be calling you, since you can eat by yourself, you won't be able to wake up, it just so happens that we can eat two more."

After he finished speaking, he tucked Gao Lang in and left the room with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, a Attendant from He Mansion has sent over a letter inviting you to go over." Lv Yun took a thread and ran over, "The Attendant is still waiting at the front."

Jin Xiaolou took the invitation. Seeing that it was from Meng Guangmei, she invited Jin Xiaolou to a banquet.

Jin Xiaolou held onto the invitation and walked towards the kitchen, she thought for a moment and said: "I think I will not go, today I have agreed to eat dumplings with you guys."

Eating dumplings in the winter was naturally to eat with his family.

Gui Qi laughed. "I heard that fireworks are going to be set off in the Residence of He tonight. That's a rare sight. Little Lou, you have to take a look no matter what!"

"Gui Qi is right." Kuang Ruyue said as she stuffed the clean copper coins into the dumplings, "Besides, you can come back after reading the smoke and fire. We'll be waiting for you."

It was also true that a good relationship with Meng Guangmei would at least have some benefits from her Mountain Note.

If he was able to attend today's banquet with the Palace, then he would presumably also invite some of the more reputable people within the Xin Ning. If he himself could also attend, then he would be able to bring more face to the Mountain Note.

Jin Xiaolou nodded her head: "Alright, I will come back as soon as possible, I still have to eat my fill today!"

"Gui Qi, are you coming with me?" Jin Xiaolou asked, "Do you want to see the fireworks?"

Gui Qi smiled even more happily. "Go and play by yourself. I must wrap these winnings in dumplings at home. Otherwise, will you be coming back to eat the northwest wind?"

Gui Qi pointed at the copper coin and the jujube in front of him.

Jin Xiaolou also laughed, she lowered her head and walked forward.

The He manor's Attendant waited outside with a carriage, and in a short while, pulled Jin Xiaolou to the front door of He manor.

The red lacquer door was opened, and a Little Maid Marquis wearing a purple jacket was in the palanquin. Seeing Jin Xiaolou come over, she quickly welcomed him.

Jin Xiaolou saw that the person who came was not hollyhocks nor was it Mu Jin, but before she could ask, the servant girl said: "My name is Zi Luo, the mistress has a lot of matters to attend to today. She had Big Sister Mu Jin and Mu Jin helping out by her side and instructed the servant to receive the young lady.

Jin Xiaolou nodded and followed Zi Luo around the veranda towards the slanted courtyard.

Jin Xiaolou had been to the Fragrant Snow Pavilion a few times, so she naturally knew the way there. Seeing that the way was wrong, she became suspicious, and just as she was about to ask, the servant girl hurriedly replied him: "Don't worry, my lady's family has someone coming to us, we can talk about it in the Fragrant Snow Pavilion, and have this servant bring my lady to the Cloud Rain Pavilion for a short chat before bringing my lady to the front hall to watch a play."

After following the violet flower, they saw Yun Yuxuan's sign from afar.

After passing through the Moon's Passage, there were two purple vines in the courtyard. For some unknown reason, there were flowers blooming this season, and the purple flowers were falling heavily. With the wind blowing, thin petals fell like rain, extremely charming.

Zi Luo walked up to the main door of the Cloud Rain Pavilion and knocked.

Jin Xiaolou frowned, why was there still someone in the house?

Moments later, a man's voice sounded from inside, "Have you come?"

Zi Luo bowed through the door and said softly, "Lady Jin has arrived."

The more Jin Xiaolou heard, the more she felt that something was amiss, as though the person in the house had ordered her to come here. Her intuition told her to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, the door in front of her was pushed open with a bang. The Violet Moonflower looked thin and skinny, but her strength was surprisingly strong. She suddenly slapped Jin Xiaolou's waist, making her dizzy and confused, falling back into the house.

Jin Xiaolou fell onto the ground, and when she raised her head, she saw Golden Fragrance's smiling face.
