Chapter 344: Old Age(5)_1
Hearing this, Si Jinyu could no longer politely refuse. She glanced at the ten boxes of White Jade Cake, thinking they were indeed quite festive. Even judging by their packaging, many people would probably buy them. Besides, the symbolism of the cakes was also appealing.
Si Jinyu noticed earlier that these so-called White Jade Cakes were different from the usual steamed cakes sold elsewhere. They weren’t the typical moist variety. The taste should be exceptional!
Si Jinyu was never one to overstep her boundaries. When she arrived at the pastry house, Chu Suifeng had explicitly instructed Lin Ziyin that he would need her assistance later. Therefore, upon leaving the pastry house, she quickly bid her farewell to Lin Ziyin, "We must take our leave now, I’m afraid. We should take advantage of the warm midday sun. Thank you for your hospitality."
Tingwei had just made new friends and was somewhat reluctant to leave. Furthermore, the atmosphere in the Lin Family was very casual, unlike his own home where every interaction was defined by decorum and etiquettes. But with his aunt making the decision, he had to leave whether he wanted to or not.
"Next time your family comes to buy something, you should join them. I’ll take you to play in the schoolyard." Yanzhi was young and was not mindful of other’s social standing. He was genuinely sad to see his newly-made friend leave.
"Okay," Tingwei’s eyes lit up. Yes, he could accompany Si Si on her visits. "Next time I come, I’ll bring you a present."
"Thank you." The two young friends were a bit reluctant to part.
"Look at how well they get along," Lin Ziyin said with a smile.
Si Jinyu heard and nodded, smiling as she replied, "In the Residence, there aren’t many playmates. Coming here and finding someone to play with makes it harder for him to leave."
After watching them ride off in the carriage, Lin Ziyin hastily went to the study. She was curious to find out what Chu Suifeng had discovered for her to appraise.
Upon opening the door to the study, she found Chu Suifeng alone with a few bundles of paper in front of him. Chu Suifeng was frowning, lost in thought while looking at the bundles.
