Chapter 183: Words in Mind (Thanks Again!)
After the carriage drove for more than half an hour, it finally stopped, and the beautiful Grange that Lan Jing imagined did not appear, there was a slightly larger courtyard in front of him, and there were many people standing at the gate of the courtyard, and they knew that it must be the people of the Grange without asking, and they all stretched their necks and waited.

As soon as Lan Jing and the others got out of the carriage, they rushed up and surrounded them around the carriage.
She couldn't hear what they were talking about, so she only kept smiling politely, and just when her head hurt from the noise, a woman in a gray and white cotton shirt and pants rushed out with a spatula, "The eldest princess's family is a guest, why are you talking so much, don't you go back to cook, you don't have to eat at night?"
The woman is Lan Jing's grandmother, because she was bought as a maid since she was a child, so she didn't know her surname, she was only given the name Zhen'er, and later married Wang Chuanzhi, as soon as the two were combined, they were decided, called Wang Zhen's.
Wang Zhen looks like he is in his forties, his hair is a little gray, his eye sockets are sunken, his lips are very thin, and his lips are very light. As she spoke, she walked in towards Lan Jing and the others.
Lan Jing watched everyone leave in a few steps and turned around, the corners of her mouth twitched, she didn't bring them gifts, why did they come over so enthusiastically?
She originally thought that it was because they knew that she was her own person that they were so enthusiastic, but she didn't expect it to be, so what's wrong with them?
Entering the courtyard, Wang Chuanzhi and his wife lived in the east room, with a hall, two rooms and a kitchen.
Lan Jing and the others sat down in the hall, and Wang Zhen looked left and right outside the door, but he was still not at ease, so he directly called Wang Yingying out to watch the door.
Lin Chu glanced at Lan Jing who was looking around and the uncle who was looking at the door, and remembered the conversation in the car he heard on the road, it turned out that they were Xiao Jing's relatives, he just seemed to have made Xiao Jing's grandfather angry, what should I do now?
Lan Jing glanced at Lin Chu, who was standing on the side stupidly, and thought for a while: "Lin Chu, otherwise, you go back to the temple first, and I will go to you after talking." β
Lin Chu quickly shook his head when he heard this, he couldn't leave, his sixth sense told him that if he left, he would regret it.
Wang Zhenshi repeatedly made sure that no one could eavesdrop, and then walked straight towards Lan Jing, this is her daughter's son, she thought that her daughter Fubo had gone, but she didn't expect to be alive and well, and gave birth to a grandson, it was really a bodhisattva blessing, thinking of this, she hurriedly folded her hands together, and thanked all kinds of bodhisattvas with words in her mouth.
Lan Jing looked at her with a smile, and only stood up when she finished reading and said, "Grandma, hello, my name is Lan Jing." β
Wang Zhenshi pulled Lan Jing up and down, "I can't believe my eyes, you are really the son of my pearl?"
"I'm not the son of your pearl..."Before she finished speaking, Wang Zhen's face had changed, and she said sadly: "I know my pearl, pearl... How could she..."
Lan Jing originally wanted to be humorous, but seeing that tears were already welling up in her eyes, she hurriedly said, "Grandma, don't cry, I'm a woman, so I'm not a son, it's a daughter." β
"Are you a female doll?" Wang Chuanzhi stood up excitedly, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Wang Zhen's family went from sad to happy, she didn't care if she was a son or a daughter, as long as the person was still alive, she hurriedly pulled Lan Jing and asked about the situation of the Lan family. When she learned that her daughter had given birth to eight children, her mouth opened wide, "Is your father treating your mother as a sow?"
Lan Jing burst out laughing. "Grandma, they are loving husband and wife, and there is no old man, so they can only give birth when they are pregnant. β
"That's not how much you can have, how much it costs to have so many children. Listening to what you said, your father can't earn a few silver, and the pearl needle and thread are okay, but she is lazy, how pitiful you have to live!" Wang Zhen complained and pulled Lan Jing into the house in distress.
The room is not very big, there is no difference between the inside and outside rooms, there are no tables and chairs, just a bed.
Wang Zhen pulled out a large box from under the bed, and then took out a small key from the bedside.
Lan Jing approached the box and watched Wang Zhenshi open it, there were a lot of things in the box, mostly cloth.
She didn't understand what her grandmother was doing, so she didn't ask, and when she saw her take out a purse from the bottom and hand it to herself, she instantly understood that this was to supplement their family, and she took it without hesitation.
There were two silver tickets in the purse, one with a face value of 10,000 taels and the other with a value of 1,000 taels.
This amount of money is not much for Lan Jing now, but for the Lan family, it is enough to live for most of their lives.
She put the purse back into Wang Zhen's hand, "Grandma, you keep the silver yourself, we don't need it at home now." β
"Why not, the three brothers are going to school, and your dowry hasn't been prepared yet..."
Lan Jing shook her head funny, this kind of thing feels so far away from her. "Grandma, if you don't talk about this now, I can't stay too long, otherwise people will be suspicious. β
"Yes, grandma made you delicious food, come on, your mother loves to eat. Wang Zhenshi pulled Lan Jing out with one hand, and stuffed the purse into her arms with the other.
Lan Jing reluctantly touched the purse in his arms, forget it, wait a moment and give it back to his uncle.
In the hall, after Lan Jing and the two left, Wang Chuanzhi turned his head and looked at Lin Chu and asked, "What is your relationship with our Xiaojing?"
Lin Chu's face flushed slightly when he heard this, "She is my fiancΓ©e." β
"Are you married?" Wang Chuanzhi was dissatisfied, it seemed that it would not work without the old man by his side.
Lin Chu was just about to reply again, Lan Jing and the two walked out, he turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Jing smiling at him, he hurriedly returned a smile.
As soon as Wang Zhenshi came out, she saw the unhappy expression of her old man, she was slightly surprised, and when she saw the young man's expression when he looked at his granddaughter, she instantly realized and smiled: "What is the name of this little brother? Who else is there in the family?"
Lin Chu quickly stood up when he heard this, and said seriously: "My name is Lin Chu, and I still have my father, mother, sister and brother at home. β
"How old are you this year?" asked Wang Zhenshi.
Lin Chu was stunned for a moment, "Do scriptures count?"
Lan Jing burst out laughing when he heard this, this Lin Chu was too funny.
When Wang Chuanzhi heard this, his face turned dark, what is the matter with this son-in-law? Find such a stupid boy.
Wang Zhenshi was slightly stunned, and looked at him seriously, "Are you the eldest disciple of Master Huiyuan?" After seeing him nod, he suddenly realized: "I said, why do you feel so familiar? It turns out that I have seen you several times, why are you still vulgar?"
Lin Chu's face flushed, "The master said that my mother had set me up to marry, and he made an appointment with my mother to let me go home when the time came, and the monks should be trustworthy." β
Wang Zhen was very satisfied with Lin Chu and beckoned to him, "Grandma has made you a lot of food, come and eat some together." β
Lin Chu felt Wang Zhen's kindness, raised a smile at her, nodded, and walked to her side.
Wang Zhenshi was stunned for a moment, she seemed to have seen such a smiling face there, a pure and beautiful smiling face like a snow lotus.
"Grandma," Lan Jing whispered when she saw her in a daze.
Wang Zhenshi reacted, looked at Lan Jing beside him, patted her hand, and continued to walk inside.
