The next day, Su Xiaoxiao woke Su Ergou and made 210 Wife cakes, 50 pieces mung bean filling, 50 pieces red bean, 50 pieces chestnut, and 50 pieces with meigan cai filling. 

-Wife’s cakes / Lao Po Ping (老婆饼)

-Red bean filling

-Mung bean filling

-Meigan Cai with pork meat filling 

-A bundle of Meigan Cai (梅干菜)
A type of dry pickled chinese mustard. The pickle consists of a whole head of various varieties of chinese mustards and cabbages that has undergone an elaborate process consisting of drying, steaming, and salting. The vegetables are harvested, trimmed before the Qingming Festival, and sun-dried until limp. It is then salted or brined, kneaded until the juices are exuded, and left to ferment in large clay urns for 15 to 20 days. The vegetable is then repeatedly steamed and dried until reddish brown in color and highly fragrant.

Two hundred were for Spring Breeze Pavilion’s order.

She also made 50 Ergou Cakes with salted egg yolk and pork floss, along with 50 chestnut cakes. 

-Egg yolk pastry 

-Chestnut cake

Afterward, she picked out two of each type and packed them into a box.

These were reserved for Young Master Ling.

Zhong Shan came to collect the pastries.

Su Xiaoxiao signed in hand gestures: “Let Ergou deliver them for you.”

Zhong Shan signed back: “No need to trouble Young Master Su.” 

Su Xiaoxiao signed again: “It’s okay, Ergou is delivering to Spring Breeze Pavilion anyway.”

Su Ergou thumped his chest proudly: “Yes, yes! I’m delivering goods anyway, whether to one place or two, it doesn’t matter!”

Zhong Shan hesitated, then finally agreed.

He signed: “Thank you.”

Su Ergou carried the pastries and got into Zhong Shan’s carriage.

Not long after, Su Mo arrived.

Su Xiaoxiao went out with him.

“I just saw Ergou earlier.” Su Mo said to her in the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Oh, he went to deliver goods.”

Su Mo asked curiously, “Deliver what?”

“Pastries.” said Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Mo’s mouth twitched. 

“You… are still running the pastry business?”

Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and answered seriously, “Of course. Why wouldn’t we?”

Su Mo asked, “Is it because you don’t have enough money to spend?”

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, “It has nothing to do with money. A person can’t stay idle.”

Su Mo gave her a once-over. 

“You… don’t seem idle to me. If you mean Ergou… have you thought about sending him to school? Our Su family has a clan school. If Ergou doesn’t want to attend that, that’s also fine, I can hire a private tutor for him, or send him to an academy.”

Su Xiaoxiao froze as if she was struck by lightning.

…She had forgotten that her younger brother could go to school!

Back in the countryside, she had never considered it, because Ergou was older, with a weak learning foundation, and there wasn’t a suitable academy for him.

As for hiring a tutor at home, Wei Ting was already capable enough.

Ergou had been learning with Wei Ting for quite some time, so surely by now he recognized at least a few characters. 

It really was time to send him to study.

Su Mo said, “If you don’t object, leave this matter to me.” 

Su Mo had already realized that although Su Cheng was the father, the one truly making decisions in the household was this chubby little girl.

Su Xiaoxiao agreed readily, “Alright.”

With such an important matter settled, Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood.

Today the two of them came to the Duke Protector’s estate openly, without pretense. 

The two families were related by marriage, so Su Mo had visited countless times, and the guards at the gate never stopped his carriage.

The carriage drove straight in and stopped near the ornamental arch gate.

The two got down and walked toward Qin Canglan’s courtyard.

The servants of the estate all recognized Su Mo. 

Though they were curious about the chubby little girl at his side, none dared to openly ask.

Meanwhile, Qin Che had not slept all night.

At daybreak, weary and haggard, he went straight to Qin Canglan’s quarters.

Qin Canglan was already up, with attendants helping him into his court robes.

As a veteran official who had served under two emperors, and now advanced in years, he no longer went on campaigns. 

Holding an honorary post at court, he usually didn’t need to attend morning sessions.
