In the afternoon, Mother Qing brought another little girl over. He was short, thin, and looked weak.

Dressed in a water-green waist-cinching long skirt, the long hair was combed into two hanging buns, the hair was divided into strands, and the top of the head was knotted, so that it hung down directly and naturally, and ended with a swallowtail, hanging down on the shoulders, looking a little sick Daiyu.

"Miss, this is the maid that the old lady ordered the slave to bring, the big guys call her the green girl, she is the son of the family in this house, if the young lady is willing, you can give her a name and let her stay. As soon as Qingma entered the door, she happily walked towards An Ran.

"Qing Ma, this little thing still bothers you to run, An Ran is really sorry. He put down the medical book he was studying, folded the smock on his body, and his attitude was neither flattering nor low.

Qing Ma showed a satisfied look in her eyes, "The old lady said, since Miss Jingting has been given to the eldest lady, it is better to make good things come in pairs, and you are also short of people here, so let the young girl come over to serve the eldest lady together." Her old son and mother are all old people in the house, so the young lady has a familiar subordinate, which makes it much more convenient to arouse. ”

As soon as Qing Ma's words were finished, the girl in green immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, the slave maid is called the green girl, and the slave maid will be the young lady's person in the future." After speaking, he boldly opened his big eyes and swirled towards An Ran's body.

An Ran laughed secretly in his heart, appearance is a thing, sometimes it can really deceive people. This girl's personality is obviously an acute child, where is there a half gentle look.

"Miss, the young girl is more cheerful in addition to her temperament on weekdays, but she is very good, she is very simple and kind, Miss can consider it. At this time, Jing Ting, who should be called Danxiong, stood up and nodded towards An Ran. Meaning, she won't be the second lady or anyone's eyeliner.

"Sister Jingting, I will be embarrassed if you praise me like this. The young girl blushed and stuck out her tongue and scratched her head, "Miss, although the slave maid is not as smart as Sister Jingting, the slave maid will work hard and take good care of the eldest lady." ”

"Young girl, don't call me Sister Jingting in the future, now fortunately, Miss has given me a name, you can call me Sister Dan in the future." ”

"Oh. He puffed out his cheeks and grimaced.

"Then let's stay, can I call you Banxia in the future?" An Ran leaned on the stool and looked at the young girl in front of him.

"Okay, okay, in the future, the green girl will also have the same name as Sister Jingting, oh, no, Sister Dan!" The green girl laughed happily, revealing the sweet dimples on both sides and two little tiger teeth.

"Still. An Ran groaned for a moment, then looked at the person in front of him, his face became serious, "Since you are the son of the house, you should understand some rules." What to say and what not to say, there must be a measure in your heart. Don't always rely on your own straightforwardness and make a big mistake for a while, then, I won't spare you first, do you understand?"

The cold voice sounded from the top of Banxia's head, so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, the slave knows it, and the slave will no longer be reckless in the future." ”

"Well, it's good to know. Okay, I'm not the master of those people who want to eat people, you and Danxiong are also newcomers to me, and the etiquette that should be given is still to be given, Baizhu. An Ran gradually retracted the look on his face.

"Yes, miss. I saw Baizhu walk out with a tray in his hand, and there were two very good-looking purses in it.

"This is a small gift specially prepared by the eldest lady for the two of you, the purse is designed by the young lady herself, and there are a few taels of silver inside. "Baizhu divided the purse one by one to Danxiong and Banxia.

Banxia got the purse, and when she heard that there were still a few taels of silver in it, her happy expression jumped on her face, "Thank you, Miss." ”

Then he exaggeratedly hugged the purse into his arms, and couldn't put it down, just eager to kiss two mouthfuls on it. Although she has a lot of wages every month on weekdays, she usually gives it to her father, and this time, she wants to keep it secretly and save a dowry for herself.

Danxiong is not like Banxia, just a pair of white and skillful hands gently caressing the embroidery thread of the purse, frowning and thinking for a while, a little difficult to speak, and finally decided to speak, "Miss, slave, slave, can the slave not want this purse?"

"Oh, why is that?"

"Slave, slave has a reluctant request. Danxiong bit her lower lip, but still met An Ran's gaze.

"Tell me about it. ”

"The slave saw the double-sided embroidery of the eldest lady at the birthday banquet yesterday, and wanted to discuss this craft with the young lady. ”

"Ah, slaves and maids, slaves and maids. As soon as Danxiong's words fell, Banxia screamed impatiently. The double-sided embroidery that An Ran showed yesterday is not the same on the front and back, and she really wants to learn.

"It's easy, when I'm free in a few days, I'll teach you. ”

"This, the old slave also wants to join in the fun, I don't know if the eldest lady is willing?"

Qing Ma stood aside and saw the means of Enron and Enwei clearly, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, if she learned this craft, she could go back and teach herself a girl. After that, maybe you can rely on this good food, good work, and a slightly better family.

"Qing Ma, when you say this, you are lifting up safely. Qing Ma is willing to come to be a companion with a few of our little ones, and she can't ask for it, she didn't invite Qing Ma before, but she was also worried about your complicated things, and she didn't dare to disturb. ”

"Hey, the old slave doesn't have much to do on weekdays, and in the past afternoons are empty, in the future, can the old slave come over in the afternoon?"

"That's a good dare, in this way, a few of us also have more people to talk to, the young mother is as big as the nurse, and there must be a lot of common things to talk about. An Ran was worried about whether the nurse would not be used to it this time, but now that it's okay, An Ran has to thank Qing Ma. ”

"Miss, when you say such a thing, don't you make the old slave get cheap and sell well?"

"Haha, haha. ”

Qing Ma's words made several people in the room laugh, and the atmosphere eased down.

"An Ran didn't have any good things to prepare before, so I specially made a few lipsticks and some makeup methods for Qing Ma. These young mothers will take them back, and if they are used well, they will do a little more in the future. ”

took what she had prepared from Lilac and handed it to Qing Ma. Qing Ma suddenly smiled, and kept nodding, "Oh, eldest miss, how embarrassing is this called an old slave?"

"It's okay, it's all my own family, and in the future, Enron may have something to trouble Qingma. If she answers, then they will be grasshoppers in a boat in the future, if not, Enron will also think of letting her respond, but just wait for her to be sure.

"It must be certain, the eldest lady is so smart, if there is any use for the old slave, the old slave will do his best. "After following the old lady for so many years, even the rabbit has cultivated into a fox. She had the heart to come over to make friends today, and at this time, she took advantage of the situation and was satisfied.

In this hot afternoon, when An Ran was still silently calculating what he should do in his heart, Bai Lichun couldn't wait to go straight to the palace study.

"General Baili, do you know what you're talking about?!" On the dragon chair, a man in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a gloomy face, threw a fold and threw it in front of Baili Chun.

Bai Li Chun knelt on his knees, although his head was lowered, his fists were firmly clenched, and his beard was curled, "Weichen just thinks that his granddaughter An Ran is not worthy of the fourth prince, so he asks the emperor to take back his life." ”

"Presumptuous! How can the holy decree say that if you take it back, you will take it back? What has become of my golden mouth? Baili Chun, are you relying on your military exploits now, and you want to blackmail me?" The man's face was full of clouds, and he wanted to cut Bai Li Chun with a thousand knives at this moment.

"No, Weichen doesn't dare! Your Majesty, An Ran has been growing up in the farm since he was a child, and was raised by the nurse in the house. Not to mention that she doesn't know anything about the rules and etiquette of the palace, and she is not as good as other official women in terms of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so Weichen hopes that the emperor can consider it carefully. ”

"Baili Chun, at the beginning, I obviously wanted to marry the eldest daughter of your second room for the fourth finger, but you said that she was still young and had not yet married the eldest daughter, so she changed the big house, okay, I also agreed. Now you say that this is not okay, Bai Li Chun, do you know that you are resisting the decree?

"Weichen doesn't want to, it's just the emperor... ”

"That's it!"

Baili Chun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the man on the dragon chair, pinched his eyebrows, and sighed heavily, "General Baili, you are an old minister in the court, you have fought and killed the enemy for the country all these years, and guarded the border passes. But why are you like this now?"

"The fourth is a mix, I know, but it's more than enough for your Baili family's daughter!" The man leaned back on the dragon chair and wanted to take a sip of tea, but the cup was empty, and the little eunuch who was standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward and brought a new cup of tea in fear.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince is asking to see you outside. "My father-in-law, who was a little older, walked in in a dark red robe.

"No!" replied, without the slightest consideration. Often the words blurted out are the truest thoughts of people.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince has been waiting outside for a long time. Outside today, the sun is still quite scorching. The father-in-law said more.

"Then let him go back! No one will see him, and he will come out to be embarrassed!" The man was so angry that he picked up the new tea he had just brewed and slammed it to the ground. Some of the hot tea splashed on Bai Lichun's body, and the skin and flesh were so hot that it hurt. But he still straightened up and knelt on the ground.

"Bastard, make such hot tea, dog minion, do you want to burn me to death?"

"The slave doesn't dare, the emperor spares his life!" The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, the emperor spares his life!" The little eunuch was so frightened that his legs slammed on the ground, his head kept knocking on the ground, his face turned pale, and the sweat on his head also came out.

"Bai Li Chun, I ask you, are you going to agree or resist this family business?" The yellow-robed man looked at Bai Li Chun on the ground with an uncertain look.

"We're here, we're here... "I don't want to agree, but I have to face a full house of beheadings, what An Ran said is good, those who are in high positions are most afraid of military power. Now it seems that the emperor wants to take back the power in his hands through this excuse.

Knocking his head on the ground, he just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by someone who suddenly broke in from outside, "Father, General Baili, why don't you listen to Jin'er's words?"

"You, you are simply lawless, who let you in? Didn't I let you leave? What are the guards at the door doing?!" The man's phoenix eyes narrowed, and he started a fire, so frightened that the guards who couldn't stop Sima Jin at the door quickly knelt down in the room again.

"Father, you know the temperament of your sons, they can't stop me at all. Besides, this matter is still related to me, why don't you listen to Erchen's advice?"

"Hmph, what good advice do you have!" the man snorted coldly, his eyes glancing to the side.

"Since General Baili felt that entrusting An Ran to her sons was humiliating to her, and her father had issued a holy decree, her sons did not want their father and the general to have a disagreement because of this. ”

"You can have such a good mind? Why, didn't you go out to fool around today?"

"Son-in-law, doesn't he want to share the burden for his father. Sima Jin chuckled, with a frivolous expression, "It's better to take ten days as the limit, if within this time limit, An Ran can get married, then Erchen will also admit it, if ten days later, no one will marry her, then General Baili, you will admit it, how about it?"

Baili Chun was stunned, there is still such a statement?

However, the man on the dragon chair furrowed his eyebrows, thoughtfully, "Okay, General Baili, I agreed, what about you?" There was a faint threat in his tone, and it was obvious that his good patience had been worn out.

"Yes, Weichen received the order, Weichen thanked the emperor and the four princes. "It's a big deal, if you go back now and start looking for a candidate for An Ran, he won't believe it, with his Baili family and An Ran's appearance, he won't be able to get married. Although the days are in a hurry, as long as the dowry is paid back, he can be regarded as worthy of Enron.

Baili Chun had a plan in his heart and retreated, Sima Jin also wanted to leave, but was stopped by the emperor in time.

"Have you had enough of the days?"

Erchen didn't think he was wasting his time. Without outsiders, the two of them, who had just looked like a strict father and filial son, began to fight each other again.

"Hmph, is it? You are just like your mother, you have a prodigal nature, and a dog can never change ****!" the man sneered, and the smile on his face stung Sima Jin's eyes.

"Father, no matter how my mother is, she was your favorite. Now that my father is saying this, do you think you have a wrong vision?"

"Presumptuous!Fourth, you dare to talk to me in such a tone! Do you think that I still keep you until now, do you dare, or are you reluctant to kill you?!"

"Naturally, Erchen will not be sentimental. ”

"Some of your thoughts, put it away for me as soon as possible, the last time the eldest and the third child, you don't think that what you did was seamless and no one noticed, and I am not a fool! This position is not reserved for you, if you don't have this consciousness in the future, I will abolish you! When the time comes, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son. ”

"Father, in your eyes, I'm afraid only the eldest and third are your sons. Didn't Xiao Qi and I be abandoned by our father many years ago? Rest assured, my father is not mine, I disdain to ask for it, it is mine, and no one can take it away!"

"Anyone will say big words, that Baili Anran, do you think you can be even? Baili Chun, it's not so easy to deceive!"

"This doesn't have to worry about my father, it should be Erchen's, she can't run! Erchen will definitely not let her marry someone else!"

The man looked at Sima Jin who was gradually walking away in silence, his expression was obscure. The father-in-law beside him sighed, "Your Majesty, forgive the old slave for talking too much, the prince is now older, and there are some things, it's time for him to know." Otherwise... ”

"Shut up!" the man glared at his father-in-law angrily, his voice was serious and irresistible, "If you talk more in the future, pull out your tongue." ”

"Yes. ”

There was silence in the room, and the past came back to the man's eyes, his eyes full of complexity, pain, hatred, and regret.

On this day, the Ten Mile Shop and the Baili Embroidery Workshop opened at the same time, and An Ran brought the four big maids to help early in the morning. There are many people coming and going at the door.

Enron had already prepared leaflets before, and today he sent a bunch of brightly dressed maids to distribute them on the street, driving customers with practical actions, which is much more effective than just playing lip service.

"An Ran, you, how are you? Are you okay?" Dongfang Yu got out of the carriage and immediately ran towards An Ran, looking at An Ran carefully up and down, with a look of concern in his eyes.

"Brother Dongfang, what are you doing?" was a little uncomfortable by Dongfang Yu.

"I, I didn't go to the field last time, but I heard about you when I came back. Enron, you, are you alright?"

It can be seen that he is really in a hurry, fine beads of sweat appear on both wings of his nose, and people who have always liked to wipe sweat have forgotten at this time, just staring at themselves all the time.

smiled slightly, and quipped, "Brother Dongfang, what am I doing, it turns out that this is this matter, Brother Dongfang, do you think that if there was something to do with Enron, would you still be standing here now?"

"Uh, this, it's okay if you're okay, it's okay. As soon as he entered the city, he heard some rumors about Enron, asked the people in the family, and learned that a lot had happened after he left that day. I can't help but blame myself in my heart, business can be done at any time, but if something happens to her, he will definitely regret it for life.

"Dongfang Gongzi, do you still want to stand at the door to block our business?" Liu Mi'er walked out of the house, saw Dongfang Yu's face full of embarrassment, and sighed silently for him in her heart, in this way, when will he catch up with An Ran?

Han smiled, "That's what I said, what I said." I came back in a hurry, and I didn't prepare anything, then, I wish you peace, your business is thriving, prosperous, and the gift will be made up next time!"

An Ran shook his head and didn't mind, "Brother Dongfang, what are you polite to me." Although some unpleasant things happened last time, Enron is still very grateful for your help before. Brother Dongfang, you came just in time, Enron does have some business matters, and I want to discuss it with you. ”

"That's easy to say, you say. ”

"Brother Dongfang, you know, because of the gambling stone, I got some silver from you, uh, uh. Enron bought the title deed of the mountain, and now, Enron wants to find someone to mine some of it. Thinking of the previous blackmail of Dongfang Yu, An Ran felt a little embarrassed.

"You want manpower?"

"No, it's not. When I bought the title deed, I promised Mr. Zhou that I would find some strong laborers in the village when mining, and I thought about it, and each person would pay them 40 yuan per day, which would take about ten days. It's just that when the wool is mined, I need to buy a venue to open a casino. ”

"Do you want to open a gambling stone shop?" Dongfang Yu's eyes widened, after being cheated by An Ran last time, he specially found a master in this area and began to learn, and now he can be regarded as knowing a little bit about it.

"Yes. This kind of thing is also played by people's gambling and luck psychology. Some people may become rich overnight, and some people can become called Hanako overnight. ”

"I can show you the venue, but you need to choose a good location. After all, the flow of people and the surrounding residents should be taken into account. Speaking of business, Dongfang Yu also became rigorous.

"Well, I've already thought about this, it's in the middle of Qingliufang and Yanhualou, near our Shili Shop and Baili Embroidery Workshop. ”

"yes, if you don't say it, I really haven't thought of it. Enron, no wonder you chose the address in this kind of place in the first place, and I also said, there are not many businesses around here, what kind of business are you doing, but I didn't expect that you are the long-term vision! Enron, are you planning to do this whole street?"

Dongfang Yu's eyes were shining, and his eyes were glued to An Ran, which made Feng Feng, who was not far away, sigh again, his grandfather had a temper with the princess recently, and he only took pity on him as a person who was watching, this kind of thing, should he report it truthfully?

"Yes, I'm planning to buy this street when I have the ability in the future. Then on this street, each one does a different business, with many varieties and complete, exquisite quality, high cost performance, customers are happy to buy and use with confidence. ”

"So you're going to do it all on your own?"

"Of course not, that doesn't exhaust me. I want to find more craftsmen or good shops in the people, but if I don't have financial support, I can provide them with a storefront and let them continue to be the boss, and I only take a part of the commission from them. ”

An Ran answered Dongfang Yu's question while imagining the situation at that time, and only felt busy.

"I know you have a lot of ideas, Nacheng, I'll keep an eye on you around here, and help you get it down as soon as possible." An Ran, just now I came all the way, and I saw that near this shop and embroidery workshop, the streets and alleys were full of the first few news of that day, presumably this is also what you asked people to do. ”

"It's been a long time since the last Kao was elected, and I don't want them to strike while the iron is hot. Kao's has a special benefit, and I made them draw a four-square grid. ”

"With life as the center, neither lofty nor conventional, not only popular with men, but also those women who disdain in their mouths and are jealous in their hearts will also quietly imitate them. ”

"In the future, I will also regularly let people release some gossip from time to time, just like this time, Xiao Pepper practiced dancing and gave her foot to Wei, and when the news was released, many people were very worried, and kept giving gifts to the flower girl, asking to see her. ”

"But because of what I said before, if you want to create an idol, you can't see it if you want to. After a while, when Pepper's feet are healed, I will let her appear in front of the public and hold a dance performance for her by the way, as a way to thank the fans who care about her. In this way, her popularity will reach a higher level. ”

An Ran smiled treacherously, but in Dongfang Yu's eyes, it was a unique style.

"Moreover, I put up pictures of them near this shop and the embroidery workshop, and those women who love beauty, which one of them is not hot, no, they are about to break the threshold. Looking at the girls coming in and out, An Ran grinned behind her ears.
