She Is From The Countryside

Master Jiang’s Shocking Actions

Xihua Street was one of the more prosperous areas in Haicheng. It was close to evening, and twilight was quickly approaching. There were many people coming and going. Some wandered the streets, and some hurried home after work. People came and went, full of the hustle and bustle of the mortal world.

Liuyun Lane was a relatively old alley. Usually, very few people went there. Compared to the noisy and lively street outside the alley, it was much quieter here, especially in the evening.

There was an old-fashioned embroidery shop in Liuyun Lane called the Shen Embroidery Shop. Some people walked past it, and dogs barked. The old man sitting at the door of the old shop next to the alley was probably in his seventies or eighties.

For as long as anyone could remember, the Shen Embroidery Shop had already existed.

The sky gradually darkened. The Shen embroidery shop was not closed. The lights in the shop were on, but no one was watching the shop.

The shop had two wooden doors that led to the backyard.

Walking through the wooden doors, one could see a large courtyard. There were small fish ponds and rockery in the courtyard. There were many flowers and plants planted around the courtyard. The cloisters were all around, and the layout looked a little like an old era courtyard house.

The main hall faced the door. On the right were the rooms and embroidery rooms, and on the left were the kitchens and warehouses.

At that moment, a voice came from the main hall. There was disbelief in the voice.

“What did you say? Say it again?”

The person who was being questioned seemed to be very patient. He repeated what he had just said.

“If it’s convenient, I would like to ask for your advice on how to make pastries.”

If it was more common, he would ask her to teach him how to make pastries.

He extended his field of vision and followed the meandering stone path in the courtyard to the main hall. He saw the person sitting inside.

Shen Miao was wearing a sky-blue qipao and was sitting at the main seat. Shen Yuying was also wearing a light-colored qipao and was sitting on the lower seat to her right. On the lower seat to her left was a handsome man wearing a white shirt, sitting in a wheelchair.

It was none other than the Fifth Master of the Jiang family, Jiang Che.

Jiang Lin stood quietly behind Jiang Che.

It was obvious that Shen Miao and Jiang Che were having a conversation just now.

“You- You want to learn how to make pastries from me? You’ve grown up. Ah Che, have you ever been in the kitchen?”

Shen Miao still had not recovered from her shock.

Just fifteen minutes ago, Jiang Che, who rarely visited her in the past half a year, came to visit her again after just a few days. Shen Miao was extremely surprised and quickly got Shen Yuying to make tea. She did not even bother to bring him to the main hall; she originally wanted to ask Jiang Che what he wanted to eat and let him have his dinner.

She didn’t expect Jiang Che to open his mouth the moment she sat down, before Shen Yuying had even served him his tea.

What he said shocked Shen Miao.

He actually said that he wanted to learn how to make pastries from her! 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

If she hadn’t seen the world, she would have been so scared that she would have fallen off her chair.

As for Jiang Che, he had naturally entered the kitchen before. It was just that he had never cooked before.

Even the noble Fifth Master Jiang didn’t need to cook personally.

Jiang Che didn’t answer Shen Miao. He just sat on the wheelchair and looked at her indifferently.

He actually had a pair of peach blossom eyes. Perhaps it was because his warm and reserved aura was too strong, but it suppressed the amorous and shimmering feeling brought about by his peach blossom eyes, not showing it in the slightest. Those pair of eyes that were supposed to be amorous revealed a profound and unperturbed appearance.

When his gaze swept towards a certain person, it was clear that there were no ripples, but it had an inexplicable power.

Even Shen Miao could not withstand his gaze and quickly compromised, “Alright, alright. I’ll teach you.”

With this compromise, she did not even ask about the reason why he wanted to learn how to make pastries.

Or perhaps she did not dare to ask.

No one knew.

Only Shen Miao herself knew the reason.

“Thank you, Aunt Shen.”

After getting her permission, Jiang Che spoke warmly. His voice was mellow and clear, and his temperament was like that of a bamboo orchid.

Shen Miao was already so unstable, let alone Shen Yuying and Jiang Lin.

Who knew that Jiang Che was coming to make pastries with Shen Miao?

However, compared to Shen Yuying, Jiang Lin appeared much calmer.

This was because the time he had spent here from the Jiang family’s old residence in Sea City was enough for him to slowly suppress his shock.

The story started after Shi Yan left the bamboo garden.

After Shi Yan left, Jiang Lin was about to go back to the living room when he saw Jiang Che standing on the stone steps of the courtyard. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

He seemed to be looking at the gate through the elegant courtyard, but at the same time, he seemed to be in a daze. He stood there for about half an hour. He only came back to his senses when Jiang Lin said something.

When he returned to the living room, he picked up the newspaper that he had put down earlier and read it again.

However, he stared at the same spot on the newspaper for a long time without shifting his gaze.

Jiang Lin looked at it for a while and didn’t dare to make a sound to disturb him. Instead, he quietly went to eat lunch.

When he returned from lunch, Jiang Che was still sitting in the living room.

However, he stopped reading the newspaper. Now he was watching TV.

In the past, he wouldn’t sit in the living room and watch TV in the middle of the afternoon. He would either be in the study or go back to his room to take a nap.

Life in the courtyard was always very monotonous.

Now, turning on the TV meant playing romantic dramas. This had never happened in the bamboo garden before.

However, Jiang Lin was sure that Jiang Che’s mind was not on the TV at that time.

Getting back to the main topic, Jiang Che sat in the living room for a long time before proposing they go to Liuyun Lane.

He hardly went out. In the past, if it was not necessary, he would stay in the courtyard. However, he had been going out more frequently recently.

That wasn’t all. When Jiang Lin asked what he was going to do in Liuyun Lane, Jiang Che had actually answered.

He said he was going to learn how to make pastries from Aunt Shen.

At that time, Jiang Lin was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.

“Then do you want to learn now or set a time for later?”Shen Miao asked.

She looked at Jiang Che and couldn’t help but feel emotional. There were too many specific feelings, and she couldn’t explain them clearly at the moment.

He had trapped himself in the Jiang family’s old mansion in Sea City for three years. If he did not take the initiative to meet someone, only his trusted aides would be able to see him.

Perhaps this was a good sign?

“If it’s convenient for Aunt Shen, I want to learn tonight.”

It was fine if he only started learning tonight, but he wanted to learn all of it tonight? Had he forgotten that he was someone who had never cooked before?

Moreover, her pastry process was complicated. Was it that easy to learn? Yu Ying had been learning from her for so many years, but she had only learned about 60 or 70% .

However, Shen Miao didn’t say that, as she was afraid of hurting him.

“We can start learning tonight, but we haven’t had dinner yet. We have to have dinner first.”

Jiang Che said, “On the way here, I asked someone to order food from the Jade Food Workshop. It will be delivered soon.”

The Jade Food Workshop was an old, famous restaurant in Haicheng that was hard to get a reservation at. An ordinary person would have to book a reservation there at least three months in advance in order to eat there.

Shen Miao didn’t know what to say.

He couldn’t even wait to cook dinner?

Meanwhile, Jiang Rui didn’t return to the old house immediately after the tea party ended. She was asked by Kong Xiangxiang to stay for dinner.

When Jiang Rui sent a message to Shi Yan saying that she would be back later and couldn’t accompany her for dinner, she mentioned to Shi Yan that Jiang Cheng was also called over by Kong Xiangxiang.

At that time, Kong Xiangxiang and Jiang Qing had arrived at the villa where they lived alone, including Jiang Cheng.

At the dining table.

Jiang Qing sat at the main seat while Kong Xiangxiang and Jiang Rui and Jiang Cheng sat on both sides of the table.

Kong Xiangxiang looked at the brother and sister sitting opposite her.

“Do you know why I called you over here alone?”
