88. Private Agreements (2)
Not to mention, Gao Ran's previous life was to live in an era where high-rise buildings were everywhere - and even in her own family's name, there were several large-scale buildings......
Even in this life, even if it is only measured by the standards of this world, Gao Ran had already seen the scale of the Tiange Teahouse in the capital and the Tiange Inn in Qingtan Town before coming to this Qingli Town......
Compared with the two industries under the name of Tiange, the teahouse of the An family is really nothing!
Looking at An Yujie in front of her, who rarely showed the childlike heart that was more in line with her current age, Gao Ran felt a little embarrassed: should she pretend to coax her?
However, she really doesn't like such a hypocritical and pretentious self!
What's more, what is in front of her now is not a profound old fox, but just a little furry child who is still childish - although An Yujie is indeed talented, but when she grows real fangs, it will probably take a few years - not now!
After thinking about it, Gao Ran decided not to pretend!
But I'm not going to say anything -- "so as not to hurt the child's pride." ”
After thinking about it, Gao Ran decided that it would be better to keep silent!
As for what kind of conjecture such a reaction will make An Yujie have, that's her own business!
Anyway, Gao Ran felt that he neither complimented her nor laughed at her. Therefore, if An Yujie still remembers today's events in the future, there should be nothing to be hated by her, right?
Even if An Yujie really wants to hold a grudge in the future, then Gao Ran will not be vain at all - after all, she has indeed done nothing wrong! If An Yujie has to care about something, it will only be her own unilateral unreasonable trouble!
However, according to Gao Ran's speculation, if An Yujie can grow up "smoothly", then she will not become the kind of stupid person who will be controlled by her personal likes and dislikes and recklessly make trouble.
"Well, it's better not to break it. She should understand, and when she is older and has seen more of the world, she will naturally understand...... When the time comes, if she remembers this scene now...... Well, I shouldn't have humiliated her, right? In short, more things are better than less, so as not to leave any unnecessary troubles in the future, it is better to take precautions first!"
Thinking like this, Gao Ran no longer paid attention to An Yujie's childish nature.
However, in order to prevent An Yujie from knowing how to advance or retreat at this time, and even having to advance inch by inch, Gao Ran decided that she still had to "remind" her a little!
So, Gao Ran pretended to be so slow that he didn't notice An Yujie's thoughts, and didn't give her any positive or negative reactions, but poured himself a cup of tea. But I didn't drink it, I just smelled it......
Originally, she just wanted to use the action of tasting tea to automatically skip the incident just now, and then find a suitable opportunity to "remind" An Yujie moderately, slightly frustrating her spirit, lest she have to make an inch.
But I didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly!
The first time he smelled the fragrance of tea, Gao Ran already knew that this tea must be tribute tea!
This reminded Gao Ran that this An family is the only imperial merchant among the four great families who has been appointed by the royal family!
Although since the establishment of the Yun Dynasty, there has always been an "unspoken rule" that everyone knows well, but no one dares to break it: Among the four great families, even if the children of the Wei An family enter the court as officials, they will not be reused! Not only that, even if the women of the An family in the past dynasties were elected to the palace as queens and concubines, they have never been able to give birth to an imperial heir! However, as compensation, the An family is the only imperial merchant appointed by the royal family.
Therefore, at this moment, Gao Ran didn't feel strange that she could drink tribute tea in An's teahouse - even though she knew that even if this tribute tea was in Anfu, it would definitely not be drunk casually.
Before, when she was a guest in Anfu, An Lu entertained her to drink good tea, but it was not tribute tea. And she can drink it in this teahouse at the moment...... Come to think of it, this must be what An Yujie meant!
But that's fine!
She can also use this tea to play a little bit, so as to take the opportunity to "remind" An Yujie a little, so that she can be a little more restrained, don't be too aggressive!
"Well, it's fragrant. However, how can this tea smell so similar to what I used to drink in the Tiange Teahouse?
Although Gao Ran asked softly and casually, An Yujie couldn't help but chuckle in her heart when she heard it.
"That's right, why did I forget, she's not just 'the second miss of the Gao family'!"
Thinking about it like this, An Yujie's previous little pride instantly dissipated, and instead of it, there was some chagrin, embarrassment, and a little embarrassment......
Speaking of which, An Yujie went to the capital with her mother An Min to attend a banquet held in the palace at the beginning of the year, and it was at that time that she met the third prince Yun Zhen for the first time and fell in love with him at first sight......
That's another story, though.
The point is that after entering the capital that time, she went straight to the palace with An Min, and then stayed in the palace for a few days, and then left the capital directly......
Therefore, even though I had heard of the "Tiange Teahouse" in the capital at that time, I did not have the opportunity to really see it......
And now, after she clearly heard the meaning of Gao Ran's words, even if An Yujie didn't know it anymore, she knew that it was indeed her rudeness just now!
Only then did she realize that she was indeed blinded by her vanity of wanting to compare with Gao Ran just now.
How could she have forgotten that with the relationship between Gao Ran and Qiu Yueze, what she wanted to show off just now, Gao Ran may have seen it a long time ago, and maybe even seen it even better!
That's why she was so unimpressed just now...... And the question she asked just now was clearly reminding me not to get too carried away, let alone to make inches!"
Thinking of this, An Yujie only felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and even a little ashamed, but she still put away the little crooked thoughts just now, and didn't dare to let herself go easily in front of Gao Ran!
Although the two are the same age (in terms of speaking, Gao Ran is more than half a month older than An Yujie), An Yujie has to admit that she is indeed inferior to Gao Ran - at least, she is indeed the case now!
"I don't know if Brother Zhen knows about the relationship between her and Qiu Yueze? Well, I guess I don't know! Even I didn't know about it until I eavesdropped on the conversation between her and Grandma Lu today! Come to think of it, Brother Zhen must not know! Heh, if he knew......
Thinking about it like this, although she was slightly frustrated before because she felt that she was not as good as Gao Ran, she was reinvigorated at this moment - competing with Gao Ran for Yun Zhen, An Yujie suddenly felt that she had another bargaining chip in her hand that was very advantageous for her! )
