Chapter 270: Jade Inkstone
"It seems like the first time I've been to the market in the morning. Shangguan Jing said with a smile.
"Then brother should take a good walk, this market is very lively, it is still morning, and later on, there will be more people. ”
"To be honest, I haven't really done it yet. In the past, in Beichu, although I often went out in the morning to run errands, I came and went every time for the business of the shop, and I never looked at the market seriously, let alone wandered around like now. Shangguan Jing sighed.
"Actually, I rarely hang out like this. An Ran smiled.
"Oh, I still want to say, I want Ah Ran to introduce me well. Shangguan Jing glanced at her.
"This introduction is exempt, my brother is well-informed, do you still need an introduction from Ah Ran?" An Ran knew that Shangguan Jing would make fun of her.
"That's not what I say. ”
"Okay, brother, don't make fun of Ah Ran, let's accompany Ah Ran to the jade shop first. An Ran said.
"Jade shop, does Ah Ran want to buy something?"
"This month 16 is my father's birthday, and Ah Ran plans to have someone carve an inkstone for his father as a birthday gift. An Ran knew that his father had always disliked extravagance, so every year's birthday, he just had a meal together as a family, and never invited guests. But gifts are always needed, and they must be appropriate.
Hearing this, Shangguan Jing looked at An Ran, "Why didn't Ah Ran tell me earlier? Fortunately, I came out with you, otherwise I wouldn't have known." ”
An Jin's birthday, he must also express his heart, he is now An Jin's righteous son.
"Brother, don't you know now?" An Ran glanced at him and smiled slightly.
"If I don't ask, you won't tell. ”
An Ran chuckled, "Actually, my father has always disliked extravagance and excitement, and every year's birthday, it's just like this family having a meal together." Don't make it too grand, my brother doesn't like it. ”
Shangguan Jing nodded, "An Ran, don't worry, I know." But this is my father's first birthday, so this gift must be a little ingenious. ”
Shangguan Jing began to think about what kind of gift to give.
"Brother's gift will definitely be compared to Ah Ran's gift. An Ran said with a smile.
The two chatted like this, and they had come to the jade shop. As soon as the shopkeeper saw An Ran, he immediately said respectfully: "It turns out that the eldest lady is here, what a rare guest, hurry, please come in." ”
"Shopkeeper Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, and business is booming. "An Ran has known the shopkeeper of this jade shop for a long time, he is a kind person, and he is also an honest man.
"Miss To's blessing is okay. "Shopkeeper Li asked An Ran and them to come in, and then asked the guy to serve tea.
An Ran looked around, "Shopkeeper Li said with a smile. ”
"Who is this?" asked Shopkeeper Li, looking at Shangguan Jing beside An Ran.
"This is my brother-in-law, Shangguan Gongzi. An Ran introduced.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li suddenly realized, "It turned out to be a son, old and clumsy, please don't be surprised." "I heard that the head of the An family has recognized a new son, and it turns out to be the son in front of him.
"Shopkeeper Li is polite. Shangguan Jing also politely greeted him.
"I have long heard that the righteous son of the head of the An family is personable and extraordinary, and when I see it today, he is really a talent. Shopkeeper Li looked at Shangguan Jing and admired it very much.
Hearing such praise, Shangguan Jing just chuckled lightly and said modestly: "Shopkeeper Li is too high-minded, Shangguan Jing doesn't dare to be it." ”
An Ran, who was on the side, heard their words, and said with a smile: "Brother, Shopkeeper Li is an honest man, if he says so, then it must be true, and you don't have to be so modest." Otherwise, how could Princess Jing'an haunt you. The last sentence, An Ran leaned into his ear and said it, and after finishing speaking, he covered his lips and smiled very unkindly.
Hearing An Ran's words, Shangguan Jing pretended to be angry and glared at her slightly, "Ah Ran, don't be joking like this." ”
An Ran smiled lightly and continued to look at the jade. Seeing An Ran choosing, Shopkeeper Li stepped forward and asked, "What kind of jade does the eldest lady want to choose?"
"I want to pick a piece of jade to make an inkstone, does Shopkeeper Li have an introduction?" An Ran raised his eyes and asked.
"That's really a coincidence, I just arrived in a batch of jade, and there are two or three kinds of jade that are particularly suitable for making inkstones, and I asked people to show them to the eldest lady?"
"Then there's the shopkeeper of Lao Li. ”
Shopkeeper Li went to call someone to get the jade, An Ran and Shangguan Jing looked around, and suddenly, a sharp voice sounded, destroying the rare quiet.
"Yo, who did I think it was, it turned out to be our Miss An. So early in the morning, I went out shopping. ”
Turning his eyes to look over, An Ran frowned slightly, it was really a narrow road, and he actually saw Princess Jing'an and Mo Yao here, what Mo Yao said just now.
"What did you say, I was talking about it just now, but I didn't expect it to happen at this time. An Ran lowered her voice and said to Shangguan Jing.
Seeing the intimate appearance of An Ran and Shangguan Jing, Princess Jing'an saw it in her eyes and was angry in her heart.
"It turns out that Princess Jing'an and Miss Yao, what a coincidence, didn't you also come to shop early in the morning?" An Ran said with a smile.
Who stipulated that you can't come shopping early in the morning, it's really funny, then Mo Yao's words are simply unreasonable, and he doesn't speak through his brain.
Besides, since they met here, doesn't it mean that they themselves came to go shopping early in the morning, isn't this just a joke?
"yes, I came out early in the morning and saw people I shouldn't have seen, which was really disappointing. Mo Yao looked at An Ran with disdain.
It's been more than a year, and in the more than a year that An Ran has been absent from Fengdu, their daughters from various families have competed for beauty, and no one loses to anyone, but as soon as An Ran appeared, none of the people looked like An Ran, and all the limelight was An Ran's alone.
Mo Yao had long seen An Ran unpleasant, thinking that An Ran would not appear again and would not come back after leaving Fengdu. But I didn't expect her to come back after a year, and the limelight is even more than before, now she is not only the eldest lady of the An family, but also the envoy of Northern Chu, and even today's saint, she has to give up three points.
I heard that on the night she just returned, His Majesty held a feast to wash her away, and a few days ago, a ceremony to re-enter the family tree and a ceremony were held in a beautiful manner, and until now, all of them are still circulating.
Although He Yili invited major families and nobles at that time, Mo Yao did not attend, because her identity was a concubine, she was not qualified to participate, and she didn't want to see An Ran again, in that kind of scene, An Ran was the protagonist again, and they went, just a foil.
"Yes, I'll go shopping with the princess. Mo Yao knew that her identity was not enough, and then she moved out of Princess Jing'an.
