The guest inside sat on chair with their backs to them. Hearing the sound, the guest turned around. She had a smile on her face. Looking at the lady with extravagant and luxury. Yang Haiyan now understood that a nobleness is habit that radiant inside and out which cultivate by the time.

Mrs. Ao ; " Haiyan, this is Mrs. Yonghe Hou Shizi". A second Grade class tittle .

Yang Haiyan hurriedly saluted; " Yangzhou Barracks General Ao is under command of Qin Fang Qianfu's wife , Yang Haiyan… have seen the wife of the princess..( Mrs.Shizi or princess).

Mrs. Shizi didn't respond to Yang Haiyan up immediately, she looked at her up and down. This kind of looked didn't feel uncomfortable,because Mrs. Shizi eyes were filled with curiosity,not scrutiny. But it was only a moment before she reply, " Don't be too polite Qin Ruren, you and I are also have fate. I have long wanted to meet you but never had a chance."

Mrs. Shizi talked sincerely, the soap she bought from her provide a lot of profit.

However, due to previous status of centurion wife , Yang Haiyan is not qualified to meet her.

At this time, she came here not because of today's banquet but because the prince is here to meet Qin Fang in private. The prince wants to cultivate Qin Fang into his confidant, so she naturally wants to win Yang Haiyan. Before coming over, she already inquired about Qin Ruren's affair, knowing that she was able to advance and retreat in a reasonable manner and that she also knew the rules and proportions, she was more satisfied.

Mrs. Ao didn't ask the reason she just agreed.

Yang Haiyan naturally knew what Mrs. Shizi meant, but she couldn't directly say it, she could pretend to be naive. " Mrs. Shizi, forgive me but I didn't know what you mean and I don't remembered meeting you ."

Mrs. Shizi laughed; " It's true that we haven't meet yet, but there is a fate.

Mrs. Ao; " You are still playing dumb riddles ".

Yang Haiyan also laugh.

Mrs. Shizi said again," Hurry up and sit down, I heard that Haiyan is opening a dim sum shop in the town".

Speaking of this, Yang Haiyan lean over towards Mrs. Ao ; " I came to the door today and brought some snack.."

Mrs. Ao; " What is it?, that day Lao Bo( Her husband) went to your house to have drink , he brought a small red bag with a dim sum inside. It really taste good so when you opened your shop , I asked someone to buy several times."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she really didn't expected it.

" it's my fault, I should visit you long ago".

Mrs. Shizi; " Listening to what you say, I really want to try it even more"

Yang Haiyan: " what I'm making today is not dim sum but I knew made recipe. please wait a moment I will called Mammy."

Then she went out and called mother Lian to come in.

Mother Lian was holding a large round box.

"Mrs. Shizi, why don't you lift the lid?".

Mrs. Shizi found it interesting: " What is the surprise inside.?"

Yang Haiyan; " You'll know when you opened it."

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Shizi was even more curious. She picked up the rope on the lid with both hands, then slowly lifted the lid. As a result, she saw a big round cake inside. Mrs. Shizi exclaimed. The cake was three layers, the first layer is the smallest , the third layer is larger that the second layer. The three layers of cakes are golden brown , when the lid was lifted, the aroma came out as well.

In fact, in modern time, this is called a three layered cake.

Mrs. Ao was also surprised.

Yang Haiyan; " This is three layered cake. There are buttons next to this wooden box, which can be used to removed each circular plates."

According to Yang Haiyan words, Mrs. Shizi removed the circular plate said in surprise; " there is still stuffing inside the big cake. The stuffing on the first layer… is it red beans?".

Mrs. Ao; " I think so."

Yang Haiyan , " your guess is correct".

Mrs. Shizi guess right and she was little happy; " the second layer , this is colored yellow.. so honey?"

Yang Haiyan sighed; " you're right again".

Seeing that she was right again, Mrs. Shizi became even more proud, but then she frowned; " third layer.. what is this…? White.. flour? No.."

Yang Haiyan; " why don't you cut a small piece and eat it,there's surprise on it."

Seeing that she was so confident, Mrs. Shizi asked Mrs. Ao to cut small piece and Mrs. Ao said; " I didn't know how to cut this. Haiyan you can do it."

Yang Haiyan picked up the long wooden knife. She instructed the wood working workshop of how she wants the wood work. She used the long knife to cut from top to bottom.

Mrs. Ao immediately asked someone to prepared a plate and small spoon. A total of three set, one set for each of them.

Yang Haiyan prepared three pieces for each with three different flavor; " Mrs. Shizi, Auntie.. please taste it".

Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Ao picked up the small spoon and taste it curiously . The taste of red bean cake and honey was waht they expected . Although the cake was delicious and a little bit special, it was not surprising. But when they tasted the bottom layer of the stuffing they were all surprised.

Speaking of which, there was ni woman that cream cannot conquer.

Yes, the bottom layer is the cream, but there's more to it that the cream.

Mrs. Shizi took two small bites and began to guess; " I don't know about this stuffing, but it's a bit like milk and flour. Judging from the taste , it shybe related to the milk, is it made by the goat milk? As for the other stuffing, it shoul be an apple."

Yang Haiyan was again surprised and looked at Mrs. Shizi with admiration . Isn't this amazing? She showed off her modern skills but was revealed by Mrs. Shizi. Looking at Yang Haiyan naive looked, she naturally like it: " What? Did i guess right?".

Yang Haiyan: " You are really right..The first layer is red beans, the second layer is honey and the third layer are goat milk with apple, so i give this cake a name .. it was goat milk apple cake.".

" Goat's milk apple cake?". Mrs. Shizi pondered for the name, " It's quite appropriate .But I'm also quite curious about the goat mit. How did you do it? The taste is better that the original flavor."

Yang Haiyan: " It's complicated to say. I will write it down to you later. Where should i send it?".

Mrs. Shizi; " No need to bother, if i want to drink it, i will go to your shop and order it".

The three of them eat the cake fruit cake. Mammy Tian came to report, saying that the other guest are arrived.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shizi said: " You guys can meet them, i will not go..". She and the Prince avoided people and didn't want to be known.

Mrs. Ao and Yang Haiyan: " Yes.."

Mrs. Ao and Yang Haiyan appear together in front of the crowd. The other Ruren and Yiren are not surprised because General Ao and Commander Qin are both from the same district which is district 18th. So in terms of relationship, they are not surprised that they are close together.

The banquet was quite harmonious, there's no scenes same as what usually happened in a novel. Regardless of whether they are from Ruren and Yiren, they are polite and compliments each other.

When the banquet was over, Yang Haiyan took Mammy Lian. When she was about to reach the door, she saw Qin Fang's figure. She hurriedly took a few steps forward ;

" Why are here?"..

Qin Fang held her hand; " Are you feel cold?, it was over in our venue so I'll wait you here."

He was worried that she feel cold so he is waiting for her.

Yang Haiyan shook her head and sai; " It's not cold inside".

There are more that 10 families who came over for the banquet, but no one like Qin Fang who was waiting. Some people saw it and couldn't help but thinking that this Qin Ruren was a person who have a good way of how she hold her husband's heart.

After leaving the gate of general mansion, Qin Fang asked: " Would you like to go horse back riding with me? It will be much faster to go home"

Yang Haiyan nodded hurriedly . The donkey cart was too slow.

When they got home, the couple took a quick bath. It has to be said that , it was quite convenient to have a servant at home. If there are no servant, the hot water to wash the feet and face will be boiled by herself . Now, as soon as they came back, Mammy Yu will do the errand.

Qin Fang didn't read the book this night. The couple went to bed. Yang Haiyan talked about the affairs that happened in the General mansion earlier while she was in Qin Fang's arms.

" I meet the princess today and she was very polite to me. The wife of the General is pleasant and easy to get along with, so i didn't refused when she want me to call her aunt in the future."

Qin Fang put his hands on her waist and kneaded the soft flesh around her waist. It felt really good. Listening to her word, he explained; " Today, the General called me in the study room and meet the prince privately".

Yang Haiyan understood when she heard it . She thought that the princess was polite to her because of soap making, but now it seems that it is mainly for the prince affairs. For the confidant that the prince wants to cultivate , as the princes wife she naturally have to be polite.

In the original novel , after the Han Zhen became the commander of thousand soldiers, the prince also recruited him privately likes this.

Two days later, in the second day of the month, the Qin family move in to their new residence.

On the eight day of the last month of the year was the Laba festival. Yang Haiyan plan to celebrate the laba festival on their new home. The centurion's yard was to small , so the servant and private guard could not squeeze in. And the furniture are also installed before they move in.

On the day they transfer, Qin Fang have a duty on the military camp , so Uncle Hong and the private guards will be the remaining forced to help .When they move to the new yard, everyone looked at the spacious environment inside and they like it.

Yang Haiyan made a simple arrangement because she and Qin Fang are only the master , so the east and west wing were vacant. The servant live in down side room and Mammy Lian live in side room of main courtyard .

In this two entry courtyard , the division of labor between each servant is particularly obvious. The dim sum shop is temporary closed and Uncle Hong also lived there. The kitchen is Nanny Fan's world but because of a lot people to take care , Mammy Lian also sometimes gives a hand. Nanny Fan really can't do it alone. As for Nanny Yu, the new house is large enough for a rough old woman to take care, so if they ask to help in the kitchen, she will be too busy.
