Chapter 57: Transformation into the Red Giant (Part I)

Guangling in April is late spring.

Standing on the bank of Peach Blossom Creek, the Peach Blossom Mountain opposite is not very high, and the barren farmland near is even more green and grassy, and there are even many unknown flowers blooming in between.

Li Chen'an spent more than an hour here, walked around both sides of the stream, and finally chose a location for the mountain.

The main thing is that it is easier to dig the cellar here.

In addition, in the future, once the winemaking workshop is repaired and the outer wall is built, the Peach Blossom Creek can also become a natural barrier.

After all, safety comes first.

After all, this is the first real property I came to this world.

Although the biggest boss is the girl next to her, sooner or later, this girl will be her own person.

Zhongli Ruoshui beside him also followed him like this, she didn't know what he was looking at, so she felt that it was good to walk like this, very peaceful, and very reassuring.

And a pleasure she had never felt before.

She really wants to be by this person's side for the rest of her life.

Just like grandma and grandpa.

After surveying the terrain here, the two got into the carriage again and headed towards Peach Blossom Villa.

When the two walked along the peach forest path into the main courtyard of the villa, a person was sitting in the pavilion of the main courtyard.

A woman!

A middle-aged woman who is richly dressed and adorned with extremely elaborate ornaments.

Zhongli Ruoshui's heart tightened, and he pulled Li Chen'an's sleeve, and the two stood in front of the noble lady at a distance.

A maid stood beside the noblewoman with a tray in her hand.

The other maid carefully picked up a jar from the tray and placed it carefully in front of the woman, and when she lifted the lid of the jar, she saw a hot air curling around.

"Madam, the freshly stewed bird's nest is added with a little Shuzhou fritillary, and the shopkeeper of the Huichun Hall said that it has the effect of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, please try it while it is hot. ”

"Well, let it go......"

The middle-aged woman only looked up at Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chen'an at this time, she ignored the dissatisfaction on Zhongli Ruoshui's face at the moment, her eyes fell on Li Chen'an's face, and she just glanced at it.

She withdrew her gaze, frowning slightly, lifting up her sleeve with one hand and pinching the spoon in the jar with three fingers with the other.

After stirring lightly in the jar twice, he spoke:

"This is a bird's nest sent from Annam, and it costs ten taels of silver per lamp in Annam. ”

"Annan is more than 3,000 miles away from Guangling, and it was sent to Guangling for a lamp of 20 taels of silver. ”

"The mother of pearl in the world takes Shuzhou as the most, mined in the deep mountains, and sent to Guangling for two taels of silver. ”

"I heard that you opened a tavern in Erjinggou Alley, selling what kind of painting screen spring...... I heard that your wine sells for 200 yuan a tael, and you buy 10 catties a day, earning nearly 20 taels of silver. ”

"It's not bad compared to ordinary people, but it's worth this can of bird's nest soup in front of Mrs. Ben!"

She raised her head and looked at Li Chenan again, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze became a little harsh.

However, Li Chenan still stood with a smile on his face, and even looked at her like this.

Without Zhongli Ruoshui's introduction, he could guess that this lady should be Zhongli Ruoshui's mother.

"Mother......!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was a little anxious, she stomped her foot, "What are you talking about?"

"Why did you come to my Peach Blossom Villa?"

Mrs. Zhongli glanced at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Mother won't come again...... I'm afraid you really found a good son-in-law for our Zhongli Mansion!"

Li Chenan was stunned and turned his head to look at Zhongli Ruoshui.

Zhongli Ruoshui pursed her lips and didn't have time to explain to Li Chen'an, she took a step forward and stared at her mother:

"It's my business!"

"Grandma has long said that I am in charge of my own affairs!"

"Father has never objected to this, so why should you interfere?"

Mrs. Zhongli raised her eyebrows: "What? really when you grow up? When you really give birth to wings?"

"You were born to me, I can't control you anymore?"

"What kind of existence is Zhongli Mansion, can a poor boy like him step in?"

Mrs. Zhongli's voice grew higher, and her emotions gradually became a little excited.

"Why do you want to learn from your grandmother, why do you want to learn her paranoid nature?"

"You made a joke about choosing a son-in-law with a text in Huaping Lake, but that's not enough? You actually dare to bring a man back!"

"There are countless men in the world, and there are countless good men!

Mrs. Zhongli raised her hand and pointed at Li Chen'an, "What kind of thing is he?"

"I was kicked out of the house by the Li family, and I went to the gambling house to owe a lot of gambling debts, and I still rely on his father to help him pay it back!"

"You keep saying that he's changed dramatically, and in my opinion, it's all a joke!"

"What's the difference between selling steamed cakes and grass cakes and selling wine?"

"What is the difference between earning two taels of silver a day and earning twenty taels of silver?"

"You tell me that Zhongli Mansion lacks that bit of silver, or what?"

Mrs. Zhongli took a deep breath, leaned back in the chair, and looked at Li Chen'an with both eyes, her eyes full of warning: "Stop pestering my daughter!"

"To tell you the truth, you don't deserve it!"

"This person wants to be able to climb a big tree, hoping that he can climb up this tree, but few people have thought that such a tree can be climbed by ordinary people?"

"Don't you weigh how many pounds and taels you have, and don't you worry about falling from that tree and falling to your death?"

"You sell your wine well, Zhongli Mansion also buys a lot of wine every month, whoever you buy is bought, you can even sell it to Zhongli Mansion at a higher price, make more money as soon as possible, and find a woman who matches your identity as soon as possible." ”

"My daughter is going to enter the palace in the future, and when you see her in the future, you have to kneel on the ground and call her a mother!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was about to speak, but Li Chenan also stepped forward and grabbed her.

There was not the slightest frustration on his face after being hit, but still the warm smile.

He now knows some things, such as the girl next to him, she is the third lady of Zhongli Mansion, Zhongli Ruoshui.

He didn't complain that she had concealed her identity, and even felt that this was the kindness of this girl.

Because the threshold of Zhongli Mansion is indeed very high, it is enough to scare off many teenagers.

It's just that her worries are a little redundant, in his Li Chen'an's eyes, the threshold does not exist.

He felt that this girl was the only one he had loved since he came into this world, so he would not allow anyone to take away his love.

He looked at Zhongli Ruoshui, who was whirling in his eyes with a look of grievance and tears, and just casually stretched out a hand to hold her hand.

Just as Mrs. Zhongli was in shock, he raised his other hand and wiped the tears from the corners of Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes.

"Don't cry, crying will turn into a little cat, but it won't look good. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui burst out laughing and glared at Li Chen'an, thinking that this guy was still in the mood to joke at this time.

"Madam," Li Chenan looked at Mrs. Zhongli and said calmly, "Actually...... You don't deserve to be her mother!"
