Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1782: Chapter 1762

"..." Luo Yanhai opened his mouth, and the next second slapped Luo Qianqian on the forehead: "What do you know about doing business? Go stand by the side, I’ve got Second Uncle’s personal teachings! By the way, Second Uncle is coming over this afternoon with the delivery, are you coming?"

"Eh? Second Uncle is coming? Yep, I’ll come. I actually have something nice for Second Uncle to take back for self-defense..." Luo Qianqian nodded repeatedly, then frowned slightly: "But what is Second Uncle coming for? It can’t be for the thing I gave to Nuannuan to send back to An Hao..."

"Smart guess." Luo Yanhai nodded: "With that stuff, Second Uncle doesn’t trust anyone else to handle it, especially since you said not to spread it around." He shrugged: "Oh, right, don’t forget to prepare some local specialties, or else your dear grandpa, grandma, Uncle, Aunt, and Second Aunt will definitely complain."

"Alright, I’ll go get ready with Shiliu in a bit."

The two couldn’t wait for everyone else to get up and quickly left. After all, preparing gifts is really not a simple task. After thinking it over, besides the elixir, only Bai Yinshu’s incense seems presentable? But they took plenty last time...

"How about we go hunting?" He Wenyu suggested to Luo Qianqian with an awkward smile.

Now, on the street, the two had no direction at all and didn’t know what to prepare.

"There’s one thing that’s definitely right." Luo Qianqian quickly dragged He Wenyu towards the old man’s small courtyard, rudely rummaging through the room where the old man stored medicines.

"You little brats, back without a hello and turning everything upside down?" The old man was furious, thinking these two might have gotten sensible and were coming to cook for him, but they charged straight to the medicine room.

Although the things inside weren’t valuable and were indeed for them to practice with, it was still annoying.

"You cook, I’ll search." Luo Qianqian told He Wenyu immediately: "And by the way, get a few pots of plants suitable for women, with special effects if possible, you know."

He Wenyu quickly nodded and dashed into the kitchen.

After all, she had been studying with the old man for a month, so she naturally understood his character. To get what you want, you first need good food; as long as there’s good food, everything is negotiable, a common trait of foodies.

The old man listened to the two’s conversation, speechless, but didn’t join the kitchen commotion; instead, he leaned by the door watching Luo Qianqian bustle around: "Are you performing as a monkey?"

Luo Qianqian paused and turned around helplessly: "Oh my, isn’t it our wise and mighty Vice Dean? I was wondering why it suddenly felt brighter in here; turns out it’s your grand presence, truly a lack of proper welcome."

"..." This is my territory!

However, the old man didn’t plan to say anything, instead watching Luo Qianqian with interest, wanting to see what she was up to.

"Wow, I haven’t seen you in days, and you look even younger..." Luo Qianqian approached the old man, her face oozing flattery: "May I ask what maintenance products you’re using?"

"What do you want?" The old man shivered; that sweet, flattering voice was unbearable!

"The scent here seems different, Bai Yinshu is back, right? He’s here, right? I haven’t smelled this scent before, it’s new, isn’t it?" Luo Qianqian declared confidently.

The old man was speechless, what is your nose made of?

"I found some old incense, I don’t know if he made it or not." The old man turned his head away from Luo Qianqian but spoke anyway.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes: "Come on, you’ve used his stuff all along, could you appreciate anyone else’s? Just saying, don’t look down on Comrade Bai Yinshu’s pride, okay? As a teacher, how about praising your students a bit?"

"And if I don’t praise him?" Seeing Luo Qianqian, the old man laughed in exasperation, this little girl, her words were meant well, but why do they make me uncomfortable?

"If you don’t praise, fine, I’ll do it for you, really fragrant, really good, really awesome!"

"..." What’s in this kid’s head?

"What do you actually want to do?"

"This incense is nice, can I have some?" Luo Qianqian grinned slyly.

The old man rolled his eyes, glaring fiercely at Luo Qianqian: "Enough already, on one hand, trying to swindle my flowers, thinking my plants are weeds, growing randomly? On the other, wanting the kid’s filial piety, what else do you want?"

"I just said he’s back, if you call him out, we’ll look for him, not you, right?" Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, looking earnest: "Besides, this fresh mountain forest scent suits you, suggesting a reclusive master style. This scent, with some bamboo undertones, feels cold, doesn’t match your kind and friendly image at all." Luo Qianqian sniffed, speaking sincerely.

The old man was speechless again, pray tell, what is the scent of "fresh and otherworldly"? Doesn’t this scent convey that?

"You should find something that feels like ’after new rain in the empty mountain, evening calm follows autumn’, this feels like the chill of a summer night, not matching your aura. Plus, look, I’m getting dry-mouthed talking this much, just reward me a bit..."

"Shiqi, I have a small bottle of Erguotou here." He Wenyu now stood at the door, looking at the two, suddenly speaking.

Luo Qianqian was stunned, her eyes suddenly brightened: "Do you drink?"

"Wine?" The old man was dumbfounded, then furiously jumped up: "You little brats had wine and didn’t bring it out?!"

Luo Qianqian: "..." Totally forgot, okay? Besides, it was just for distracting Yan before.

Later, Yan bought a bunch, and it never got used, since people have their own.

Speaking of which, Mo isn’t a drinker.

"Then..." Luo Qianqian chuckled.

"All on the shelf, flowers in your room!" The old man stomped his feet in anger, having prepared everything in advance, just waiting to see what tricks these kids had up their sleeves.

Who knew... there really was a killer move!

"Hmm... a glass of wine, should’ve known it’d be this easy..."

"Bring it all to me, don’t think I didn’t hear! A bottle!" The old man turned his head, glaring at He Wenyu.

He Wenyu silently produced a half-kilo bottle of wine, unable to mention they used it for disinfection before.

The old man snatched it with relish: "This stuff, hahaha..."

"Looking at it this way, that person wasn’t completely whatnot, huh?" He Wenyu watched Luo Qianqian rummaging and joined in helping, unfazed. Though she spoke like that, she knew Luo Qianqian understood.

"Yes..."

Yan didn’t tell the old man that it’s not only about the wine but also... the secrets of their Nine Heavens Pavilion.
