Chapter 174: Anger
"I know, I've heard of it. Our lord also bought a pot, and I heard that others said that it could be used for stew, so we believed it. He asked people to stew meat with carrots, and the smell made me drool when I thought about it, but all those precious carrots were eaten by the masters, and we as subordinates only smelled a little fragrance. Passerby B said a little discouraged.
The old man is too picky, isn't it just a carrot for five taels of silver? As for being so stingy? I'm thinking about the smell of carrots now......
"Your master is not bad, our eldest lady's carrot is regarded as a peerless treasure, and she personally scrubs the carrot leaves every day, and no one else is allowed to touch it. Once, the corner of a little girl's clothes accidentally swept to the corner of the flower pot, tsk! The little maid was beaten badly by the eldest lady. Alas! What a pitiful little girl! I heard that the skin was open at that time, and not only that, but the young lady also said that she deserved it, and the little maid couldn't get out of bed until now. Our eldest lady also said that this is something that Young Master Shen Jiu sells, and she must treasure it. Passerby C said excitedly.
When An Lan heard this, she glanced at Shen Moxuan meaningfully and said,
"I didn't expect you to be so charismatic? If someone touches your things and is beaten half to death, if that young lady sees me holding hands with you, will she chop off my hand! β
Shen Moxuan lightly knocked on An Lan, and said helplessly: "Lan'er, don't listen to their nonsense, these people have nothing to do all day long, so they know to make up some messy things, and pass them on to hundreds." Eventually, these rumors became true in their mouths. β
The women outside are really scary, but Lan'er is better, although sometimes she is confused and stupid. The rest is a plus.
An Lan asked puzzled,
"Shen Moxuan, what are you hiding from me, how do I feel that your relationship in the past few days is a little unstable? I'm your fiancΓ©e, your business is my business, and I just hope there's nothing hidden between us. β
The secret of your own space, find a chance to tell Shen Moxuan! If he can't accept it, it's just a big deal like his aunt and uncle didn't get along with each other before!
"What is this. The fifth lady of our family is preparing to marry Young Master Shen Jiu! I heard that Mrs. Shen has already approved, and she is now embroidering the dowry at home. If you want me to say, it's just to marry the ninth young master of the Shen family as a concubine. To be honest, do concubines still need a dowry? She is not afraid of people laughing off her big teeth like this. Passerby Ding said disdainfully.
"Yes, our eldest lady is also going to be a concubine for Young Master Shen Jiu recently. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep every day! Passerby C also nodded in agreement, and the two of them were disdainful of their young lady at the same time.
"You two are from the Wen family and the Qian family! Aren't you afraid of being swept away by your master? Passerby A gloated.
Two fools, the public will arrange the master's house, and if what you say reaches the ears of your lord later, you will feel good.
"What are you afraid of, I'm not a slave now, I've been released by our master a long time ago, and I only occasionally go back to help him do something." Passerby Ding said proudly.
"Dude, so you're just like me! Looks like we came to that by chance. The young ladies of both of our families are going to marry into the Shen Mansion together, let's go, let's find a place to have two drinks. I'm in for a treat. Passerby C excitedly put his hand on the shoulder of the passer-by, and the two cherished each other, like friends and acquaintances for many years, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder under the surprised gaze of people.
"No wonder, where did I come from, it turns out that they are already children of a good family. No wonder there is so much fearlessness. Passerby A muttered to himself.
The onlookers saw that there was no more excitement to see, so they dispersed on their own.
"Shen Moxuan. That's why you've been sullen for so many days? An Lan tried to calm his mood, maybe this was not Shen Moxuan's matter at all, he didn't know anything about it, everything was the priest's idea. Anlan thought to herself.
Shen Moxuan saw that An Lan's eyes were flashing with a sparkling light, and he felt a pain in his heart, so he took An Lan into his arms and explained in a low voice,
"Lan'er, I never thought about other women, I only have you in my heart, how can I take a concubine."
An Lan was hugged tightly by Shen Moxuan, she felt that it was difficult to breathe, so she broke away from Shen Moxuan's embrace, and then said slowly,
"I know that if you really wanted to take a concubine, you wouldn't have stayed with me for so long. Is your mother disgusted with my birth? β
Didn't those ladies and ladies all say that I was a village girl? originally thought that Shen Moxuan's parents would be reasonable, but they didn't expect that they were all the same, only paying attention to superficial things, and never paying attention to a person's inner qualities.
Anlan, Anlan, people only see you as an out-and-out village girl, how will they know what kind of person you are! It's just that it's really reluctant to give up Shen Moxuan like this, if only I could convince Mrs. Shen. Alas! The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been tense since ancient times, and I have a tough battle to fight this time!
"Lan'er, who knows me!" Shen Moxuan's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.
is worthy of being the person he values, that is, he understands himself, mother! You can make your son miserable this time, it's hard to find such a good girl with a lantern, you are not satisfied, if you make the girl angry and refuse to marry directly, then your son can only beat a single......
"Alright, let's go back and prepare a gift for your mother! I heard she likes peonies? An Lan pulled Shen Moxuan to come, and the man quickened his pace and walked back.
"Well, the Mo Lan I gave you was obtained by my mother at a great price." Shen Moxuan said calmly.
...... "You just said that you were deceived from your mother, your mother will be willing to give me her beloved things, even if your son wants to get that pot of orchids, I'm afraid it took a lot of lips and tongues!"
"I didn't want my mother's flowers, but when I heard the word Mo Lan, I didn't know that I wanted to give it to you." A flush quickly appeared on Shen Moxuan's face, An Lan opened her mouth in surprise, and said strangely,
"Shen Moxuan, you're blushing!"
"Stupid girl, you're wrong." Shen Moxuan said angrily.
"No, by the way, you just said that it was called Mo Lan, Shen Moxuan, An Lan?" An Lan pronounced out the name of the person who came, only to find that Mo Lan seemed to be composed of her own and Shen Moxuan's names, no wonder Shen Moxuan would do everything possible to get that pot of flowers for herself.
"Shen Moxuan, or our child will be called Mo Lan in the future!" An Lan pondered it repeatedly, and then told Shen Moxuan what she thought in her heart.
"Not good." Shen Moxuan flatly refused.
"Why?" An Lan asked aggrievedly.
An Lan saw that Shen Moxuan wanted to speak and stopped, so she became angry, and began to say openly,
"Shen Moxuan, what do you mean, don't you want to have anything to do with me? I knew that you wanted to take a concubine, and you put the responsibility on your mother! β
When Shen Moxuan heard An Lan's words, he suddenly felt a headache, this girl can make people angry when she is unreasonable! But he still gently explained to An Lan,
"Lan'er, I'm from the ink generation, and my eight brothers above me all have ink in their names!"
"Your mother is so capable of giving birth? There are nine in a lifetime, no, there is also a Shen Caidie? An Lan's anger dissipated a little, and she asked curiously.
"Didn't the king's treasurer tell you? My mother only has three sons and one daughter, and our family is called according to the ranking of the clan, I am only nine, not that my mother gave birth to nine! Shen Moxuan couldn't cry or laugh, if her mother gave birth to ten, wouldn't she become a sow?
"Shen Moxuan, you are really good! Do you even know what the king's treasurer told me? Say, did you let Shen Zhong do anything to be sorry for our family? Why don't you tell me honestly? An Lan heard Shen Moxuan naturally say that the shopkeeper Wang had told her about their Shen family before, she was immediately even more angry, what did he mean, could it be that my words and deeds were under his surveillance, if it wasn't for him liking him, wouldn't his life and death be between his thoughts?
"Lan'er, you misunderstood. I didn't~" Shen Moxuan explained helplessly, but An Lan didn't listen to his explanation at all, just ran forward alone.
Shen Moxuan had no choice but to keep up with An Lan's footsteps, this girl is really stubborn! I don't know what she had in mind......
In the next few days, An Lan completely regarded Shen Moxuan as transparent, and had to look at the two of them with fear, so Han Qiao also broke off her friendship with Shen Zhong, and she also put down her cruel words, if Miss and Young Master Shen broke up, then you Shen Zhong will get out!
Han Qiao's words made Shen Zhong only look up to the sky and sigh, how could he like such a woman, the eldest lady is much more important than himself......
An Lan, who was angry, was also a little indifferent to Guan Wuwei, as long as she remembered that Shen Moxuan had done that kind of thing now, she felt very disgusted in her heart, how could she be blind to such a person.
Shen Moxuan tried to communicate with An Lan many times, but without exception, An Lan just looked at him coldly, without the slightest intention of talking to him. Shen Moxuan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and silently followed behind An Lan every day, hoping to prove with his actions that he had absolutely no second thoughts.
An Lan saw that the carrots had been sold out, so she had to start researching new flowers, but she was not a professional, and after studying for several days, she was still confused, so she had to give up studying flowers, and it was good to buy and sell stone flowers every day.
An Lan decided to open a restaurant, this time she decided to do the business of the poor, since there is a Cao Gang, there will be a lot of customers, no one at Taizhou City Wharf thought of selling some food.
Maybe they think that the laborers on the dock and the merchants who come and go will not eat at the stalls! There is also a possibility that people only focus on those big interests and ignore some small profits, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat! Accumulate a lot, and copper plates can also be exchanged for gold mountains......
This time, An Lan just quietly discussed with An Feng, and the two unanimously decided to open a restaurant in Matou, but it was a little difficult to go through the formalities in the yamen, should she let Shen Moxuan go out? (To be continued) R580
