4. Chapter III

Sure enough, as I expected, as soon as I stepped into the Blue Mansion with my front foot, a little maid came to tell me on my back foot, and Mrs. Lan asked me to go to the backyard for tea.

"Yes, okay."

I rubbed my forehead and searched my mind for something about Old Madam Lan.

Mrs. Lan's name is Zhang Lian, and she married Lan Xun that year. Although Mrs. Lan is the daughter of Xiucai, she can only follow the sale of roasted cakes if she marries a chicken and a dog when she marries a chicken. However, Mrs. Lan has read a lot of books, and once read a secret recipe for making zuò baked cakes, and the Lan couple relied on a secret recipe and Mrs. Lan's business acumen to develop a baked cake stall into a head office with seventeen branches, as long as there are people, there must be the first scale of baked cakes within three miles.

In order to make a fortune, Mrs. Lan devoted herself to this, but she forgot to care for her husband. So one day, when Lan Xun came home with his illegitimate child, the old lady Lan, who loved face, cried and made trouble and hanged herself in the house, and when she failed to hang herself, she thought about using scissors to understand herself, but Lan Xun was accidentally poked in the heart by scissors while pulling with Mrs. Lan, and died with a whimper.

Before Lan Xun lost his breath, the only thing he had time to say was to ask Old Lady Lan to treat Lan Yi as her own.

Lan Xun died, and Mrs. Lan sat in the mourning hall for seven days. Just when everyone thought that Mrs. Lan would collapse because of this, she continued to run her business like no one else, and raised Lan Pei and Lan Yi as adults.

For a strong-willed person like Mrs. Lan, I admire it very much.

At this time, Mrs. Lan, who was sitting in the backyard drinking tea and admiring the flowers, was wearing her plain black clothes that had not changed for thousands of years, her long gray hair was meticulously coiled up with a hosta, and she carried a string of ivory bodhi around her neck.

"Mother-in-law, what a fragrant Biluochun."

I didn't feel thirsty when I hurriedly carried Lan Yi to the medical hall before, but now when I saw the golden tea, I couldn't help but pick up the teacup and take a sip of it.

Seeing me sitting straight on the opposite side, Old Madam Lan's gaze couldn't help but fall on the colorful porcelain cup I held in my hand, and a strange voice of yin and yang immediately sounded in my ears: "Qiu Xian, you are used to drinking cold water in Qiu's house, and it is not impossible to drink such a cow." But this tea is to be sipped. I don't think you can taste tea, the porcelain cup in your hand is Rong'er's. If you are thirsty, you can drink the water from the well where you make tea. ”

Lan Rong is the righteous daughter adopted by Mrs. Lan three years ago.

When I heard this, I shook the hand of the porcelain cup, but I felt that if I was stronger, the porcelain cup in my hand would definitely be pinched into slag by me.

What about inviting me to tea? Dare to be affectionate in the name of inviting me to tea, to tease me around the corner.

This old lady Lan simply thinks that she doesn't live long enough, and she is tired of living?

Who doesn't know in the daughter country that what this princess hates most is to scold like this, turn around and belittle each other, and try to maintain her demeanor and bully.

But if this princess is allowed to see such a person, the fate of such a person is to be reduced to slavery, and to make her proud, and from then on to be trampled under her feet like dust.

"Come, go and fetch a big bowl of water, and then take the porcelain cup in the hand of the eldest lady and boil it in boiling water three times. Otherwise, when Rong'er comes back later, she will cry when she sees that her special teacup has been drunk by others. ”

Others?

Take a big bowl when I'm a beggar?!

God knows, it took me all the strength to resist spilling the hot tea from the pot on this old face.

There was a crisp click, looking at Mrs. Lan's stiff face, I said, "This cheap porcelain cup is really not easy to use, and it will be broken into slag when you hold it lightly." It's good that Rong'er hasn't come back yet, otherwise it wouldn't be good to cut her mouth. Mother-in-law, do you say? ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Lan to speak, I said again: "Also, in my mother's house, I used to drink deer antler tiger claw wine, and inferior tea like my mother-in-law can only be used to quench my thirst." Ouch, I had a stomachache as soon as I drank this tea, forgive my mother-in-law, and my daughter-in-law hurried out to congratulate, so I didn't accompany my mother-in-law to continue drinking this tea. ”

At this time, Old Madam Lan's face, I took a look at it, and I felt bad for a moment.

I hurriedly clutched my stomach and fled from the backyard like a plague.

Back in the house, I lay in front of the window and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after "Qiu Xian" married into the Lan family, except for the second day of the wedding, Mrs. Lan never summoned "Qiu Xian" again on the grounds of worshiping the Buddha.

I don't want to be idle and elegant today, and I plan to take pleasure in ridiculing my daughter-in-law.

The person in this world who can bully this princess is probably not born yet.

I lifted my sleeves, and a crimson cinnabar mole on my arm fell into my eyes. At this time, I am very glad that Lan Pei doesn't look down on "Qiu Fiber", and "Qiu Fiber" doesn't like Lan Pei, who is covered in copper smell mixed with the smell of baked cakes.

Now I'm here for training, not to be a daughter-in-law of the Lan family.

However, just as I was thinking about how to reconcile with Lan Pei, a voice suddenly sounded in my head: "Kyushu daughter Guo Qiu Xian, your first task here is to establish a good relationship with Old Madam Lan. ”

"What are you talking about???"

When I heard this, my feet went soft, and I was almost so frightened by the words that I knelt down directly.

I only heard the voice say: "I am not an immortal, but a spirit mirror responsible for your mission." ”

"Heh, don't think that if you pinch your nose, this princess won't be able to hear your native voice."

"Doom...... That's not the point. The point is that your first mission is out. So you can't leave the Blue Mansion just yet. ”

I frowned and asked, "Shouldn't the experience of cultivating immortals be to subdue demons and subdue demons and save the common people?" What do you mean by asking me to have a good relationship with that old white lotus! ”

"Who said that the experience must be to subdue demons and subdue demons and save the common people? As an immortal, the most important thing is not ability, but to have a heart that can endure what ordinary people can't bear, if you can do it, you can pass the first level of the trial. Of course, the eldest princess can also choose to give up, so I can regain my energy and focus on the blind date. ”

As if there was some truth in what I said, I touched my chin and asked, "Did you go on a blind date in Lily Garden and failed?" ”

A sound of fried hair suddenly sounded in his head: "Who said that the master's blind date failed, it's just that the master's vision is too high, and ordinary fairies can't look down on it." ”

"Ahh According to common sense, goddesses generally don't need blind dates, and almost all of them who need blind dates are ordinary fairies, or two-like fairies. Since you are demanding, why go on a blind date, do a good job of the consciousness of loneliness and old age. Save money on dressing up and spending energy on showing off. ”

"Qiu Xian, a strange person like your daughter who never knows what it is! The master is too lazy to talk nonsense with you and waste saliva! Hurry up and go and pound your quest, see you later! ”

What is called too lazy to talk nonsense with me. It's clear that I was poked in the sore spot and couldn't fight back.

When the sound of the murmur died down, I drooped my head on the window edge like a dead dog.

Eighteen years ago, Lan Xun almost died in the mouth of a tiger in the mountains and forests, and was rescued by "my" father. "My" father is a man, Lan Xun is also a man, even if Lan Xun is grateful to "my" father, he can't promise each other personally, so he set up a relationship between me and Lan Pei. In the past, Qiu Lan had two families, one set up a stall to sell pork, and the other set up a stall to sell roast cakes, which was quite a good match.

But now the Lan family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and Lan Pei has become one of the four wealthy businessmen in Holly Town. If it weren't for the marriage book back then, how could the Lan family marry "me".

Now she has no worries about food and clothing, and the graceful and luxurious old lady Lan doesn't look down on me, the daughter of a butcher with a tiger's back.

Today, Mrs. Lan looked at me as if she were looking at a person, and her eyes were full of contempt and disdain. This princess can't wait to press her face door to the ground, out of sight and out of mind, how can this princess have a good relationship with her for a woman like this......

Do you really want this princess to put down her dignity and be like a pleasing dog, wagging her tail at Mrs. Lan and selling it?

Thinking about that picture, Princess Ben would rather choose to throw herself into the well.

"The road to immortality is long, I will go up and down and seek ......"

As the afterglow faded, I hummed weakly when I saw a white shadow drift past my window.

The reason why I use the word "floating" is not because of the speed of the white shadow, but because it is so thin, as if it will be carried away by the wind in the next moment.

"Little uncle." I looked at the white shadow and called.

Lan Yi paused and turned his head to look at me.

The strong wind blowing up the blue silk like a waterfall, afraid that Lan Yi would be blown by the wind. I hid the glint in my eyes, smiled, and waved my hand at Lan Yi: "It's windy outside, little uncle, do you want to come in and have a cup of hot tea?" ”

At this time, I had already thought that if Lan Yi refused, I would directly drag him in with his small body.

As a result, Lan Yi, who was standing next to Qingzhu, responded with a light smile: "Okay." ”

Lan Yi smiled......

Am I dazzled? Why do you think that Lan Yi's smile just now is as soft and soft as the dawn of the morning?

When I blinked, I smiled at Lan Yi again, and I was presented with a lifeless dead face in front of me again.

Lan Yi walked into the room, sat down at the mahogany table, and I asked, "Little uncle, what kind of tea do you want to drink?" ”

There is no shortage of good tea in Lan Pei's house, so I pulled out the drawer and selected the tea that Lan Pei treasured.

At this time, although I turned my back to Lan Yi, I could clearly feel Lan Yi's inquiring gaze on my back. If it weren't for the fact that I was so fat that I didn't dare to look at the bronze mirror, I would have suspected that Lan Yi had a bad idea of me.

"Little uncle, you are weak, why don't you drink this white peony that has been treasured for twenty-three years?" I took out a blue and white porcelain jar and turned around and asked with a smile.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Yi's eyes: "Sister-in-law can tell the age of tea just by looking at it?" ”

Worst!

Qiu Xian in Holly Town drinks tea with the same taste, and he can't even tell Biluochun and Tieguanyin, let alone distinguish the age of tea.

I said, "Doom...... This is Lan Pei was afraid that I would not be able to find tea to drink, so he sued me before leaving. ”

Lan Yi heard the words and groaned: "Sister-in-law, the tea in this drawer is all treasured by the eldest brother, and even he is reluctant to drink it." ”

"So you mean Lan Pei is even more unlikely to be willing to let me drink it?" I immediately argued.

Lan Yi didn't answer my question, but stared at me intently.

Is it because I have eye droppings on my face?

No, I don't. I touched my eyes.

Or do I still have the sauce of vegetarian elbow on my mouth?

Just when I was struggling with whether to take a bronze mirror to take a picture of my face, Lan Yi's puzzled and soft voice sounded in the room again: "Sister-in-law, I think you today are very different from you before. ”
