Lin Yi brought Elder Madam Gong’s youngest daughter, Huang Yanqiao, to the carriage and said with a smile, “Mother, Cousin, you’re late. We’ve been here for a while.”

Madam Gong looked at the two of them and smiled. “Didn’t your aunt come?”

Huang Yan smiled and pointed at the women standing in front. “They’re over there! They’re chatting.”

Li Yu saw that the grass was surrounded by a few cloth curtains. Lin Yi led Li Yu and the others toward the place surrounded by the cloth curtains.

When they arrived, Lin Yi smiled and said to Li Yu, “Cousin, mine is a butterfly kite, Qiao’er’s swallow kite, and Jia’er’s is a big sparrowhawk. Can you help us judge whose flying is higher later?”

Lin Jia looked up at Lin Yi. “Sister, if you don’t believe me, just watch later. My eagle will definitely fly the highest.”

Qiao’er tugged at Lin Jia and smiled. “Cousin, my swallow is flying high.”

Li Yu looked at the three cousins and smiled. “Alright, I’ll be your judge later.”

Everyone went to the grass covered with cushions. Xing Hua quickly took a thick cushion and placed it on it. “Madam, sit on the cushion.”

“Slow down.” Madam Gong wanted to help Li Yu up, but she saw Li Yu sit down nimbly. “Child, you have to slow down in the future.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. Sitting on the mat, she saw that the three girls had already spread the kites on the grass with the help of their maidservants. The three of them handed the spools to the maidservants, who ran with them.

Li Yu smiled when she saw this and wondered to herself if this could really be considered flying a kite. The maidservants were the ones flying the kites!

The old woman took out the small folding wooden table and set it up. There were stir-fried peanuts, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, loquats, cherries, and peach pastries.

Madam Gong smiled and handed a pastry to Li Yu. “Eat something. The pregnant woman is hungry quickly.”

“That’s right, Aunt. I think I’m especially hungry after getting pregnant.” Li Yu took the pastry and smiled.

“You are eating for three. It’s still early! Take a look in two months. At that time, I felt that the food I had just eaten was gone quickly. I felt hungry all dav ”

“Oh! I feel that way now. It’s been more than an hour since I ate, and I’m hungry again.”

“You can’t eat too much in the later stages. Otherwise, you’ll be the one suffering.”

Li Yu knew that Madam Lin was telling the truth. She nodded at her gratefully and said, “Thank you for your reminder, Aunt!”

Madam Lin smiled reproachfully. “You’re still a child.”

The two of them sat on the mat and watched as Lin Jia and the other two waited for the maidservants to fly the kite into the sky before taking the spool to control their kite.

Lin Jia’s eagle rode the wind and quickly overtook Lin Yi and Qiao’er’s butterflies and swallows.

Lin Jia smiled proudly at the two of them. Lin Yi and Qiao’er pulled the spool and controlled the swallow butterflies to chase after the hawk.

The three cousins laughed and looked up at the kite floating in the sky. They wondered if there were immortals looking down at the living beings on the ground.

After Elder Madam Gong finished speaking to the women, she smiled and walked over to sit beside Li Yu. She asked affectionately, “Ah Yu, how have you been these days?”

Li Yu looked at her happy expression and smiled. “It’s alright. Thank you for your concern, Aunt.”

Madam Dagong looked around and asked Li Yu in a low voice, “Ah Yu, I heard that your Old Master’s medical skills are not bad. He even planted vaccines for people in Qingchuan. Is that thing really useful?”

Li Yu glanced at her and wondered if someone had contracted smallpox. She smiled slightly. “Yes, but it’s not foolproof. Also, everyone thinks differently. I think it’s better to plant it than not to plant it. All of my family members have been vaccinated.”

When Madam Gong heard this, she asked with interest, “Ah Yu, has your

Yang’er planted it too?”

Li Yu nodded. “Yang’er’s grandmaster planted it for him when he was three weeks old. He had a low fever at first, but he was fine the next day. Aunt, why did you ask this?”

Madam Gong also looked at her with concern. Elder Madam Gong looked at the two of them and said evasively, “I don’t mean anything. Someone said that he saw the vaccination in Qingchuan. I only remembered that it was your Old Master who did it after hearing her say it.”

Madam Gong heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I thought there’s another plague.”

Li Yu glanced at Madam Gong and said to her, “Aunt, I think it’s better to plant the vaccine for safety. My family has planted it all. Look, we’re fine now. Aren’t you afraid of the vaccine plague in the future?”

Madam Gong fell into deep thought when she heard that. Elder Madam Gong patted her chest and is afraid. “I’m still afraid. After all, we’re talking about planting a virus in a perfectly healthy body, and moreover, the virus is from livestock. Just thinking about it disgusts me.”

When Li Yu heard this, she stopped persuading her. Although everyone had acknowledged their relationship, they had not interacted for long. They did not dare to believe her rashly! If she continued, she would embarrass everyone.

Seeing that no one was talking, Madam Gong stood up with a smile and said to Li Yu, “Ah Yu, your uncle said that the meat skewers you roasted are delicious. Aunt will have to trouble you to guide the old woman today and roast a few skewers for Aunt to try.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Alright, what’s the trouble? It’s not like I have to do it myself.” Xing Hua hurriedly helped Li Yu up.

Li Yu walked to the grill and the old woman brought over meat skewers. Li Yu saw streaky beef and roe deer meat.

When Lin Yi saw Li Yu looking at everyone, she handed the spool to Ling Dang and walked to Li Yu’s side. She lifted her hat and looked at Li Yu with a smile. She asked considerately, “Cousin, are you tired?”

“I’m not tired. I’ve been sitting here for so long. It’s better to walk around.”

“Yes! When my mother was pregnant with Jia’er, Father often got her to go out for a walk. Don’t stay there every day.”

“Oh! Uncle still cares about these things!”

“Yes!” Lin Yi looked at Li Yu and smiled. “Cousin, my father looks like an old scholar, but he actually likes to nag. Mother and I are afraid of him.”

Li Yu also smiled. “This is the same as your cousin-in-law. I’ve been afraid of his nagging these days.”

Lin Yi teased, “Cousin-in-law is being considerate!”

As she spoke, the old woman also finished roasting the meat skewers. Madam Gong asked Xing Hua to call Li Yu back. Li Yu realized that Madam Gong had gone to the pavilion beside her again.

A small wooden table had been added to the mat. The fragrant and spicy meat skewers were neatly arranged on plates. There was also a jar of sugarcane juice on the table.

Madam Gong took a handkerchief and handed it to Li Yu to wipe her hands. She placed a cup of sugar cane juice in her hand and pointed at the skewers with a smile. “Try it and see how it tastes. However, you have to eat less. If you eat too much roasted meat, you’ll easily get angry.”

Li Yu looked at Madam Gong in embarrassment. “Aunt, don’t be in a hurry to serve me. Sit down and eat too.”

Madam Gong sat beside Li Yu and whispered to her, “The person sitting at the side is Elder Wang’s wife. She said that two days ago, someone brought a piece of clothing stained with smallpox, to the backyard. Fortunately, the old woman discovered the stain on the clothing.

She was afraid that someone would attack the child again and found out that Old Master was planting vaccines in Qingchuan. She asked my cousin to look for you to gather information.

When Li Yu heard this, she thought to herself that these rich families were really scheming. They were so crazy that they could even kill children just to fight for that bit of resources..
