Chapter 21: Transformation

The painting screen finally agreed to Zhao Wanning.

She is already good at cooking the food of her hometown, and if she can help the county lord, it will not be a waste of her craft. Moreover, if she opened a shop outside the mansion, she would have more opportunities to enter and leave the eldest princess's mansion freely.

Zhao Wanning has already chosen the location of the store, which is opposite the bookstore.

It's just that the cash she can use is limited, and there is not much left after the bookstore.

The painting screen was surprised: "County Lord, the silver shop opposite is yours." ”

Hearing the news, Zhao Wanning sat up excitedly: "You mean that the silver shop opposite this bookstore is mine?" ”

"Yes, Lord Shire." Picture screen said: "This is the shop that the saint rewarded you when you were the lord of the county, but you were still young when you were sealed, and the property under your name was handed over to the eldest princess to take care of." I remember that the silver shop didn't seem to have a good harvest, so you wait for me, I'll take a look at the ledger. ”

The three of them gathered around the study to check the ledger.

The picture screen turned to the accounts of the silver shop for the past three years, and found that the silver shop was operating poorly, and there was even a loss this year.

"Exactly." Zhao Wanning clapped his hands and said: "It just so happens that this silver shop can't make any money, so it's convenient for me to change it to a pastry shop, in case the pastry shop doesn't make money, it won't be a pity." ”

The painting screen nodded: "If the county lord decides to use that silver shop to change into a pastry shop, it is best to go to the eldest princess first." After all, the previous silver shop was taken care of by the eldest princess. ”

"I'm going to find my mother." Zhao Wanning was a little sluggish to the naked eye: "Mother doesn't take care of it herself, she must have handed it over to the housekeeper, I'll just ask the housekeeper directly." ”

The painting screen shook his head: "County Lord, the housekeeper can only recognize the eldest princess." ”

"Ugh." Zhao Wanning sighed and said, "Let's go to Qingkuang Courtyard over there." ”

"County Lord," Picture Screen reassured, "You don't have to worry too much. The eldest princess's attitude towards you is very different now than before. If you ask the eldest princess to go back to the store, she will definitely agree. ”

Although Zhao Wanning didn't want to admit it, she herself knew that since she was reborn, the eldest princess's attitude towards her was very different from before, and the eldest princess made all the piles for her, she also saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.

On the other hand, the eldest princess was not as obedient to Zhao Chen'an as before. I heard that the eldest princess invited Mama Zheng to teach Zhao Chen'an the rules. It is impossible for the eldest princess not to know Mama Zheng's methods, Zhao Chen'an must have to suffer a lot, since she invited Mama Zheng here, then she really wants to teach Zhao Chen'an well.

Zhao Wanning was puzzled by the change of the eldest princess, but she was afraid that she was thinking too much, and the eldest princess just looked at Zhao Chen'an Chengfeng, and was negligent for a while.

When passing by the Star Picking Tower, Zhao Wanning suddenly stopped. She still remembered that she accidentally fell to her death while eating on the roof of the Star Picking Tower, but God took pity on her and let her be reborn.

Seeing that there was a maidservant upstairs wiping the railing, Zhao Wanning hurriedly ordered: "Find a craftsman to reinforce the railing of the Star Picking Tower." ”

"Yes, County Lord." The silver candle answered.

"Silver Candle, you tell the housekeeper again, let the two of you go together to clean the Star Tower in the future. The building is so high, what if you accidentally fall down? ”

Silver Candle was a little puzzled, how could the county lord suddenly become interested in the Star Picking Tower. She looked at Zhao Wanning's side face, and suddenly felt that the county lord seemed to be a little distracted, as if he was about to become an immortal.

Silver Candle was frightened by her own associations. It seems that I can't indulge in those gods and ghosts anymore.

Qing Wai Yuan.

When Zhao Wanning entered the door, she saw the eldest princess leaning on the couch, and Zhao Chenan stood beside her and massaged her shoulders.

Zhao Wanning seemed to have returned to the day of the fall.

She knelt on the cold stone steps of the Qing Courtyard, and Zhao Chen'an passed over her and entered the warm room. The thick curtain blocked the scene in the house, but the voice of the eldest princess and Zhao Chen'an could be heard talking happily.

Zhao Wanning instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Wanning has seen her mother." Zhao Wanning Shi Ran said.

The eldest princess who closed her eyes and recuperated didn't raise her eyes, but Zhao Chen'an spoke first: "Sister Wanning, you're here, sit down." ”

Zhao Wanning got up a little embarrassed, and Zhao Chen'an suddenly held a master's posture to make her uncomfortable.

The maid of Qingkuang Courtyard brought a small pestle to Zhao Wanning, and Zhao Wanning sat down next to him.

"Why did you come to my courtyard today?" The eldest princess lifted her eyelids and glanced at Zhao Wanning.

The sharp-eyed Zhao Chen'an immediately brought the tea on the table to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess took it with satisfaction and took a sip of tea: "It's still Chen'an's intimacy." ”

Zhao Wanning also heard the deep meaning implied in those words. How do you feel that the eldest princess's attitude towards her has returned to before she was reborn? But the eldest princess was sincere to Zhao Wanning yesterday, and personally sent her a pair of embroidered shoes, saying that it was made by Mama Xu herself, and she also accepted them politely and thoughtfully. In addition, she went out to visit the temple fair with Xiao Hongyi, and she didn't do anything, why did the eldest princess's attitude towards her change overnight?

Zhao Wanning can't guess it, so he won't guess, now is not the time to dwell on this. She cleared her throat and said, "Mother, Wan Ning came here today to ask for something. ”

"Oh?" The eldest princess glanced up at her idly: "You really only come to see me, a bad old woman, when you have something to ask for, and when you have nothing to ask for, you won't even come to my open courtyard once." ”

Zhao Wanning was choked by the eldest princess's sudden rebuke. She was stunned, and then explained: "Since Wanning divorced, she has been depressed and worried about affecting her mother, so she has never come to the Qing Wai Hospital to ask her mother for peace. She also asked the mother to forgive her daughter. ”

Hearing the word divorce, the eldest princess's brows furrowed: "How dare Qi Wei divorce you, the county lord with golden branches and jade leaves, who is just a wild child born in a broken military household?" I think it was your father, Zhenbeihou, who made it. If you hadn't made a marriage contract with him when you had listened to me, you wouldn't have been divorced today. There will not be such a farce, so that everyone in the capital will come to see the excitement of my eldest princess's mansion. ”

"You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed!"

Zhao Wanning was silent. Obviously, it was the eldest princess who took the initiative to help her get out of the marriage, but why did it suddenly become a problem for Zhenbei Hou again. But she didn't want to argue with the eldest princess about it.

The eldest princess began to count all kinds of Zhenbei Hou again, from the beginning when Zhenbei Hou broke with her in order to inherit the throne, said that Zhenbei Hou calculated Zhao Wanning and that Qi Zhen made a marriage, and then said that Qi Zhen divorced.

The small flame in Zhao Wanning's heart gradually extinguished under the accusation of the eldest princess.

Zhao Wanning knew that the eldest princess of the shop should not give it to her. But she still didn't give up and wanted to try again. So she plucked up the courage to ask, "Mother, Wan Ning came today to ask you for the silver shop on Suzaku Street." ”

"What do you want that silver shop for?" The eldest princess asked, "Why is the Zhenbei Hou Mansion so depressed that they want you to help him now?" ”

"No, Mother." Zhao Wanning explained: "I see that silver shop is losing money every year, and it just so happens that my daughter currently has a small business and wants to try it." I hope that my mother will be fulfilled. ”

"Huh." The eldest princess sneered: "Do you think this business can be done if you want to?" What kind of business can you do as a waste county lord who doesn't know how to learn? Or do you want to get the shop back and separate from me? ”

"If you really want to break up, then I can think highly of you. Look at you, what can you do when you leave my eldest princess's mansion. ”

The eldest princess is really angry. The words she uttered were like a sword, stabbing into Zhao Wanning's heart one by one.

Zhao Wanning lowered her head, yes, she was originally a waste county lord who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, not only unlucky, but also waste. In the eyes of the eldest princess, she is useless, and she can't do anything except embarrass the eldest princess.

She also thought that the eldest princess's attitude towards her had softened after being reborn, but she didn't want it to be just a flash in the pan. The eldest princess hated her for more than ten years, how could she suddenly change her attitude.

She should have understood that every time she flattered and courteous the eldest princess, she would be exchanged for the eldest princess's disgust and even disgust. But what's wrong with her? She is just a child who longs for her mother's love and warmth.

"Auntie, you are discouraged." Zhao Chen'an said: "My sister just wants to share your worries." ”

"She's worried about me?" The eldest princess said angrily: "Just don't make trouble for me, just marry yourself quickly!" It's a shame to stay in my eldest princess's mansion. ”

Zhao Wanning didn't know how she left Qingkuang Hospital.

The summer weather changes as it goes. It was still sunny when I came, but when I came back, it was suddenly cloudy. After a few steps, the raindrops the size of beans fell.

It hurts to smash on someone.

The painting screen borrowed an oil-paper umbrella from Qing Kuangyuan and supported it above Zhao Wanning's head.

The rain was heavy and heavy. How can a small oil-paper umbrella block such a heavy rain?

A gust of wind blew, and the rain fell on Zhao Wanning's face. The pine-green dress got wet and turned dark green.

Zhao Wanning was unaware and quietly walked into the rain.

As she passed the Star Picking Tower, she looked at the high eaves again. The Star Picking Tower stood silently in the rain curtain.

Zhao Wanning suddenly wanted to go upstairs to have a look.

The painting screen grabbed her and said, "County Lord, you are already wet." Let's go back and invite Yueyuan to change your clothes first, otherwise you will get sick. ”

That night, Zhao Wanning had a high fever that did not go away.

Huaping wanted to go to the female doctor, but she stopped her: "Don't go, let me die." ”

"County Lord!" Huaping anxiously shouted: "If you are bent on death, then you have fulfilled the intention of the initiator!" Can you bear to die like this? didn't fight for anything, didn't struggle, just died because of a heavy rain in this unknowingly Yueyue Garden! After tomorrow, rumors about you will spread throughout the capital, and you will not be able to rest in peace! ”

"Picture, don't say any more...... "Silver Candle cried.

"I'm going to say!" Picture Screen continued, "Do you think the eldest princess will regret it after you die? No, everything is gone when you die, no one will care about you, and no one will regret it! ”

In a drowsy state, Zhao Wanning remembered that in her previous life, she was finally reborn, and she originally wanted to live well, how could she give up on herself because of this?

Seeing that Zhao Wanning softened her attitude, the painting screen hurriedly went out of the house in the rain to invite a female doctor.
