A ball of soft and small life form landed on Jin Xiaolou's stomach with a creak.

Jin Xiaolou was not afraid of mice initially, but when this lively rat laid on her body, she could not help but shiver.

The golden aroma waved his hand, the Attendant bowed and brought the furnace over, placing it beside Jin Xiaolou.

The heat wave had surged, ironing Jin Xiaolou's body to the point that half of it was boiling hot.

Attendant unscrewed the copper button on the stove, took out a fire spatula, and took out the charcoal that had not been burnt out.

The hand holding the shovel extended upwards. Just as the shovel was handed to the bottom of the jar, before the coal could fall, Jin Xiaolou could already feel the mice on her stomach going crazy, squeaking and scampering.

The mouse's sharp claws and teeth tore apart Jin Xiaolou's inner clothes a few times.

His stomach was filled with a tingling sensation that made his scalp tingle. It was painful and itchy.

Golden Fragrance felt unspeakably satisfied when she saw Jin Xiaolou's uncomfortable look. She really wanted to call someone to pour the fire charcoal down the next moment and watch as the rat bit through Jin Xiaolou's skin.

Only, Golden Fragrance hesitated for a moment, she still wanted to hear Jin Xiaolou's idea.

"Do you still want to negotiate with me?" Golden Fragrance stood up and took two steps forward, standing beside Jin Xiaolou's face. She lowered her head and looked into Jin Xiaolou's eyes, "If you want to lessen the pain, then tell me your method right now."

Jin Xiaolou clenched her teeth, and after a moment, she relaxed her strength, and said slowly: "I know of a method to make canned food, which can extend the shelf life of the food, and is extremely useful in battles."

She took a deep breath and continued, "He Zhixian knows of this matter, so he is well aware that this method will not only be beneficial to the battle of Wuli River, but will also help them in their future battles. If Hezhi County obtains this method, no matter if you keep it or submit it to the public, you will inevitably rise in rank and become rich. "

"If I were to make a deal with Zhixian and have him take you in as his adopted daughter, I would teach him the method of making canned food. Presumably, he would definitely be willing."

This was the only thing that Jin Xiaolou could think of in such a short period of time.

First, he would not think about whether or not justice would be willing. Most importantly, he would try to coax Golden Fragrance to believe that justice would be willing.

As long as he could get to justice, he would be saved …

Jin Xiaolou looked at Golden Fragrance, "As long as we go to He Zhi County, I can definitely let him take you in as his adopted daughter."

"Good idea." Golden Fragrance laughed.

Jin Xiaolou was just about to let out a breath of relief, when she heard Golden Fragrance say: "But I already said it before, you tell me the way, and I will spare you the pain of having your stomach ripped open."

Golden Fragrance narrowed her eyes: "You are very cunning, trying every possible means to get close to the county magistrate, but unfortunately, I am not like those idiots from Jin Family, where you can lead me by the nose. If you write down the method of making the canned food, I will show it to you and show it to justice. If he accepts me as his adopted daughter, that will be your win, so I will send you to Wuli River later on. "

"If he doesn't fulfill my wish, you will suffer." Golden Fragrance's face darkened, "I will cover the bottom of the pot with the charcoal and let the rat bite into the tender flesh of your belly. I will bite into it, remove the charcoal, put it back into the pot, and then bite into it again, inch by inch, until a hole appears in your stomach."

Jin Xiaolou could feel that on her stomach, the rat was grabbing onto her skin and flesh with its claws. Goosebumps appeared on her arms, and for some reason, she thought of Gao Lang.

He did not know if Gao Lang was better from the cold.

If he did not return home soon, Gui Zhi would have been waiting anxiously for tonight's dumplings and they would not be able to eat well.

And there was also the Lin'er, who was still so young, perhaps he wouldn't even remember his mother's appearance when he grew up …

"Alright, I'll write." Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth.

Golden Fragrance smiled in satisfaction. Immediately, she took out her brush and ink.

The servant let go of Jin Xiaolou's hand and placed the paper in front of him, allowing him to slowly write.

Golden Fragrance had never studied in the past few years, so she knew a few words.

When Jin Xiaolou finished writing, Golden Fragrance took a look and kept the recipe, then ordered: "Watch this person carefully."

With that, he ignored Jin Xiaolou and took the prescription out the door.

Jin Xiaolou did not dare play any tricks with the golden spice, even though she had the recipe, she did not go to see Old Master He directly. Instead, she went back to her own room, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the formula word by word.

This time, she took a closer look at the canning method and felt that she could read most of the words. However, she could not understand what those strange words meant.

Seeing the sky darken, Golden Fragrance decided not to think any further and prepared the written recipe for the fight. Only then did she go to see justice.

All the family members of the house were sitting under the stage.

Just as Zhao Jie was bored out of his mind watching this, he saw Golden Fragrance's figure flash past him. Just as he was about to stop Golden Fragrance, a Attendant wearing a blue jacket walked over, and as he was refilling Zhao Jie's tea cup, he bent down and said: "Young Noble, Chang Wei is back."

Zhao Jie's eyes lit up, he stood up and followed the Attendant.

On the stage, the woman that was singing Qingyi recited Duan Yunbai, then swung her long sleeve to brush against the face of the man who was beating the drum at the side.

The man's expression changed, his eyelids lifted up, and he saw a young master leaving from below.

The drums started beating at an inappropriate time, all the way until Young Master Huang's figure disappeared from the courtyard.

Zhao Jie followed Attendant into a small room at the side of the inner courtyard. Inside, there was a person waiting there.

Seeing Zhao Jie come in, the man quickly kneeled down and greeted him. Zhao Jie waved his hand and went straight to his seat before asking: "You went there for ten days. How was it?

The man shook his head and kneeled on the ground, not daring to get up. "This servant asked the local people, saying that the Wuli Herba only sprouted after the initial snow."

"Beginning snow?" Zhao Jie frowned, "Then we still have to wait."

He turned his gaze outside the window. The servants in the manor were currently holding lamps, and the lanterns in the courtyard were sparsely lit. The warm flames of the candles caused the sky to darken even more.

It was just winter now, and the initial snow would take at least one or two months. Zhao Jie wouldn't be able to wait that long.

This Xin Ning was both cold and fatigued, and he planned to leave in two days.

However, the Wuli Herba could not be found, so how could he go back …

In the Cloud Rain Great Hall, a maid came in with a light. Just as she opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew past.

The servants and Attendant s in the room, for some reason, were all confused by the sand, their eyes blinked wildly, and at the instant that their vision turned black, their necks were hit, causing them to fall down.

Jin Xiaolou heard the noise and suddenly opened her eyes.

The maidservant who had pressed her hands and feet had already laid on the ground, and the candle had been extinguished.

She pushed the pot away, and the rat squeaked and scuttled off.

Jin Xiaolou touched his stomach, there was a small hole in her clothes, luckily, his stomach was fine, if she was bitten by a mouse, under these sanitary conditions, if she did not get bitten to death, she would probably get plague and rabies.

She picked up her clothes and put them on before calling out, "Who is it?"

No one replied for a long time.

After walking a distance, Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth again: "Thank you for saving me."

Then, he hurried out of the room and headed outside.

The door opened, and Zhao Jie walked out gloomily.

Annoyed that he still had a month or two to spend in this crappy place, he began to walk back to the courtyard, not knowing where Golden Fragrance was.

Who knew that the moment he turned around and entered the Moon's Passage Gate, two men in black came out from the bamboo forest outside, holding a long sword.

The shiny sword emitted cold qi, flying straight towards Zhao Jie's throat.

The Attendant behind Zhao Jie rushed forward, raising his arms to block the two sharp swords. With a crack, the sword was broken. It was actually a high-quality green steel sword.

Attendant raised his eyebrows and shook his arms.

His sleeves were tightly covered in fine copper clothes. Against two small thieves, it was simply a waste of resources.

Zhao Jie sneered from behind Attendant: "Just you guys, trying to sneak an attack on me, you've truly gotten tired of living. Chang Meng, kill them. "

Before he finished speaking, four more people jumped down from the wall behind him with swords in their hands.

Chang Meng frowned, he protected Zhao Jie behind him and pulled out the iron whip on his waist with one hand, while waving his other hand.

The chilly wind actually caused these assassins to be unable to get close.

Chang Meng took out his whistle with his other hand and blew twice.

A clear whistle came from far away, but after a while, the ones who came were not the secret guards following Zhao Jie, but the sound of four weapons clashing not far away.

In the study room, Justice took Golden Fragrance's prescription and looked at it again and again. After a long while, he finally nodded and said, "Fine, I accept you as my adopted daughter."

Golden Fragrance was overjoyed. She didn't expect that it would be so easy to be righteous and take her as an adopted daughter.

From today onwards, she was no longer a servant, but the young miss of the estate.

Although she was only an adopted daughter, she was still going to enter the ancestral hall.

Golden Fragrance had not been this happy in a long time. Just as she was about to kneel down and greet her father, the door to the study was knocked open.

Xing Sen was frightened out of his wits. "This is bad, old master. Young Master Huang, Young Master Huang was assassinated …"

Before he could finish, He Zheng and Justice stood up in shock. They threw away the prescriptions in their hands and ran into the yard.

It was a mess outside. The women were screaming everywhere. Some of the men in black came over from all directions with weapons in their hands.

When Golden Fragrance rushed over, she saw Zhao Jie with his swords in a mess, her heart was in her throat.

"Protect the Young Master Huang, you must protect the Young Master Huang well!" He and Justice were sweating profusely from anxiety, desperately trying to escape into the sword rain.

But he was stopped by Meng Guangmei: "Old master! Are you tired of living?! "

His feet were stained with bright red blood, and he even had broken limbs and wreckage.

Meng Guangmei had never seen such a scene before. Her legs were too weak, so she pulled on justice and wanted to go inside the house.

and Justice flung Meng Guangmei's hand away, "Do you know who the Young Master Huang is? If he loses his life, then our whole family will not live! "
