Transmigration: of Mysteries and Songs

Chapter 195: Departure

The sweet-scented  in late autumn attracted people the most. They could be used to brew wine, make , brew tea and more. It would depend on a person's mood as to whether the osmanthus flower products turned out to be elegant or vulgar. Hence, as soon as this season arrived, the commoners in Chang'an City would vie to make some delicious food and drinks using osmanthus flowers as an ingredient to compete with one another. It was also a type of entertainment.

This vibe naturally spread to the Feng Residence as well. The First Lady and the Second Lady gained an interest and brought the maidservants along as they busied themselves in the residence. When Feng Luodi finished counting all the guqins in her room, she saw Scarlet and Jet carrying a bunch of exquisite and tasty-looking sweet osmanthus cakes inside.

"Miss, have a taste. The ones on this side are made by the First Lady. The shape is stylish and the flavour is gentle. The ones on the right side are made by the Second Lady. The shape is small and the look exquisite, so you can eat one in one bite."

Jet was smiling brilliantly as she placed the tray onto the table beside Feng Luodi and introduced the pastries to her one by one.

Feng Luodi smiled as she looked at those few plates of sweet osmanthus cakes and didn't say anything.

She initially thought that she had a whole lot she'd like to say but, in the end, she couldn't utter a single word.

"Scarlet, pack some into the food box. We're going to the Gan Residence."

After staying silent for a while, Feng Luodi finally spoke and stood up. When she saw that she was still dressed in cyan, she panicked a little. Immediately after that, she shook her head and looked at Scarlet instead.

She merely smiled at Jet's great efforts in recommending the cakes; she wasn't planning to have a taste.

Seeing this, Jet simply thought that Feng Luodi didn't like sweet osmanthus cakes and didn't think too much into it.

On the other hand, Scarlet had a feeling that Feng Luodi didn't try because she was afraid that once she tried the taste, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to part with it. This was exactly the same kind of premonition she had had for the past few days.

She couldn't say anything because her Miss hadn't done anything up until now.

Feng Luodi and Scarlet went out together and ambled along the bustling streets.

On the way, Scarlet wanted to say something but hesitated while Feng Luodi looked around, wanting to imprint the surrounding scenery into her heart.

When they arrived at the Gan Residence, they could already hear a resonant crying sound before they had stepped into the courtyard. Immediately after that was Gan Qingjia's bewildered pacifying voice, Qi Jianqiu's teasing voice, Situ's aloof voice, as well as Xue Yiqi and Shangguan Yan's curious and perplexed voices.

She thought that this was a dream. She could only treat this as a dream.

She suppressed the woes that were about to well up and smiled as she entered everyone's gaze.

"Ah, Luodi, you're here!"

It had almost been a month since Qi Jianqiu had given birth. She was about to stand up from the soft chair when Gan Qingjia flusteredly passed the child to the person closest to him, Xue Yiqi, and went to support Qi Jianqiu himself.

As such, the child directly pulled Xue Yiqi's hair. Although Xue Yiqi was in pain, he didn't dare to say anything. On the other hand, Shangguan Yan wasn't pleased upon seeing this. She immediately carried the little girl over to coax her. In the end, the little girl bawled loudly and frightened Shangguan Yan so much that she hastily stuffed her into Situ's arms.
