Chapter 1582 Linjiangxian 3
Hua Ruyue was forbidden to contact the new neighbors, and Bai Jiusi was still looking for someone to investigate Jiang Xinxin's background. However, Jiang Xinxin prepared some cakes and snacks and visited the neighbors.
The pastry is just ordinary rice cake, and the filling is mint, rose and jasmine, which are the sauces made from local seasonal flowers and herbs when Jiang Xinxin was learning to make this common Jiangnan snack.
Whether it was mint, rose, or jasmine, they all came from Jiang Xinxin's space, naturally full of spiritual energy. Others would only think the taste was excellent, but immortals like Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue could tell from just a sniff that the spiritual energy contained in them was not something produced on earth.
Hua Ruyue tasted a little of each rice cake and praised the taste. She couldn't help but want to return the favor: "What do you think Miss Jiang meant by giving her such a snack?"
Bai Jiusi still hadn't received any news about Jiang Xinxin's past, and he still didn't agree with Hua Ruyue rashly contacting Jiang Xinxin. "Let me first check whether Miss Jiang sent this gift only to our family, or to the neighbors. It's too early to make a decision now."
Hua Ruyue had other ideas, "Maybe our guesses are all wrong?"
"Perhaps Miss Jiang is here to gain experience in the mortal world just like us?"
Bai Jiusi strongly disagreed with Hua Ruyue's speculation, "If he only came to the mortal world to gain experience, he shouldn't be practicing so blatantly!"
Hua Ruyue retorted, "But ordinary people can't tell that Miss Jiang is practicing. Only we can see it."
Hua Ruyue insisted on contacting Jiang Xinxin. Bai Jiusi didn't want his wife to take any risks, but he also knew that stubbornly opposing her would do no good, so he explained softly, "I'm not saying you can't contact Miss Jiang, but I feel we're not mortals after all. Even for the sake of a smooth tribulation, we can't rashly interact with a cultivator."
Bai Jiusi was good at giving a sweet treat after a good fight, and he promised Hua Ruyue, "How about this? I'll soon find out about Miss Jiang's background. As long as she's not coming here specifically for us, we can invite her to be our guest. How about that?"
Hua Ruyue really stopped insisting on contacting Jiang Xinxin, and felt that Bai Jiusi was thoughtful and she was thinking things too simply.
As soon as Hua Ruyue apologized, Bai Jiusi, the dog Dengxi, took advantage of the situation and directly attributed the mistake to Hua Ruyue. He even shamelessly forgave her: "This incident can be regarded as a lesson. Just don't make the same mistake again in the future. After all, our identities are different. Even if we live in the mortal world, we must be careful."
Jiang Xinxin had no idea that she had caused a lot of speculation among her neighbors. The gifts she sent out for visiting received a lot of praise, and the return gifts were also quite interesting. Only the gifts from Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi's families were a bit too grand. I don't know what the owners of these families were thinking.
Jiang Xinxin is still decorating her own residence. The layout of the house does not need to be changed, but the work of adding flower windows on the wall and opening more doors must be done. In addition, her favorite flowers must also be arranged.
There is no need to go out and hire someone to do these things. The puppets in her space can do it. The servants and maids in the house are all puppets. This is another thing that makes Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue unable to help but guess.
Originally, Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue had never met Jiang Xinxin or anyone else in the Jiang family, so they didn't know that Jiang Xinxin used puppets as servants. But one day, Jiang Xinxin went out for a banquet, and when she came back, she passed by Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue's house. The two of them happened to be out, so they met.
Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue are the most powerful gods in this world. How could they not recognize that the coachman was a well-made puppet? Even the fine horses pulling the carts were rare in the fairy world!
Now Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue had no intention of going out anymore. Hua Ruyue hurried back, and when there was no one around, she couldn't wait to pull Bai Jiusi aside and said, "We were not mistaken. Miss Jiang's driver is a puppet!"
Bai Jiusi's bad feeling became more and more obvious. "That horse pulling the carriage is not an ordinary one. Even in the fairy world, not every immortal can have one."
Hua Ruyue was confused. "Miss Jiang is showing off so high profile. What on earth does she want to do?"
Bai Jiusi was a businessman after all, and he knew a lot of information from his dealings with people. He also found out about Jiang Xinxin's background and learned that she was originally a hunter who lived in the mountains outside the city to collect herbs and hunt. Later, she saved some money and moved to the city to live. A few years later, she moved from her previous rented place to next door to them and became neighbors with the couple.
Bai Jiusi remembered that the owner of his own pharmacy had mentioned Jiang Xinxin. "A few years ago, the owner asked me if he could help a hunter who lived outside the city and collected herbs and hunted come to live in the city. He contacted her and made a living in the rain. Later, I heard that the girl came to the city and made a living by embroidery. That person is Miss Jiang next door."
"Miss Jiang came to Songhe County several years before us. Our decision to descend to the mortal world to experience tribulations was a last-minute one, and even the location of Songhe County was chosen at random. So, we can at least be sure that Miss Jiang didn't come here for us."
After hearing what Bai Jiusi said, Hua Ruyue couldn't wait to visit Jiang Xinxin. "Then I can post a message and go visit next door. I really want to talk to Miss Jiang about her puppets and her ordinary-looking but spiritual flowers and trees."
Hua Ruyue had carefully observed that the fragrance of the flowers next door came out almost overnight and lingered for a long time, which showed that a lot of spiritual power was used to maintain it.
Comparing the current situation between herself and Bai Jiusi where they were unable to use their magic power, she really wanted to know why Jiang Xinxin was using her magic power so openly in the mortal world.
After receiving Hua Ruyue's visiting card, Jiang Xinxin replied without hesitation and arranged a time to visit. Hua Ruyue immediately became nervous after receiving the reply, and pulled Bai Jiusi to ask questions: "Should I prepare a gift for the visit? What should I prepare?"
"Since Miss Jiang has made such a big show of using her spiritual power, shouldn't we prepare something special?"
"Wouldn't the things of the mortal world seem a little too perfunctory?"
Bai Jiusi felt a headache. "Ayue, we are just ordinary people now. We can just visit our neighbors and give them some ordinary things. After all, although we can see that Miss Jiang next door has an extraordinary background, it is not appropriate to publicize this matter."
No matter whether Jiang Xinxin has an extraordinary background or they can see that Jiang Xinxin has an extraordinary background, they cannot tell anyone!
Hua Ruyue was not discouraged. It didn't matter if she only gave worldly things. Her family was rich anyway and could afford to give many things.
Bai Jiusi looked at the pile of pearl, coral and gem products that Hua Ruyue had taken out and was speechless. He could only follow her.
