Chapter 106 I’m so hungry, I want to eat sesame cakes
Zhao Mingzhu continued to push her: "Please, go and cook."
"He's like a well-behaved puppy, don't you think so, Miss?" Qiao'er clung to the door frame tightly.
Zhao Mingzhu held her forehead with her hand. "Someone like Bo Ling? Forget it."
"It's different. He is really well-behaved, unlike that two-faced bastard like Bo Ling." Qiao'er vowed.
"Qiao'er." Zhao Mingzhu stared at her.
Qiao'er: "Ah?"
"Are you thinking of getting married? Are you taking this opportunity to remind me to marry you off quickly?"
Qiao'er let go instantly: "By the way, I don't know if Ah Yu is slacking off. I have to go supervise him. Miss, take your leave."
Zhao Mingzhu closed the door and looked at the full moon outside the window that had risen at some point in time. It was so big and round!
She smacked her lips: "I'm so hungry, I want to eat sesame cakes."
…
"I'm starving! I want to eat sesame cakes!"
An Yun touched her abdomen. She couldn't sleep at all because her stomach was empty, so she sat up with her legs stretched out.
An Yun did what she said. She put on her shoes and walked out. She refused the maid's suggestion that she go out to buy it and ran away.
But he happened to run into Master An who had just left the mansion.
The two of them stared at each other, An Yun pointed at him and made a bold guess:
"Dad, are you going to have some wine?!"
Grand Tutor An: ...
He looked around, and the servants saw him and asked, "What does the master want?"
Master An: "Find something that can kill this rebellious girl."
An Yun jumped back after hearing this: "Just because I said it, you're going to kill me to silence me? Old An, are you worthy of my dead mother?"
Master An laughed in anger, "Do you still remember what mother said to you before she died? Let me punish you when you deserve it. I can't let you run wild! If she knew I punished you, she would only applaud!"
As for the will, both father and daughter did contribute.
An Yun placed her hands on her abdomen and said, "Yes, Master Taishi, it was my daughter's frankness that hurt your fragile heart."
The rebellious girl became more and more presumptuous as she spoke, and Grand Tutor An pinched her sleeves and herded her like a duck:
"Go away, or I'll have your mouth sewn shut if you keep talking."
An Yun stuck out her tongue: "Yes, let's go."
She turned and left, and Grand Tutor An remembered and asked, "By the way, where are you going now?"
He was not worried about An Yun's safety, but as a father he still wanted to ask about her whereabouts.
An Yun said she was going to buy some cakes.
"You're so greedy, aren't nine meals a day enough?" Master An blew his beard and glared at other people's daughters, who were beautiful and intelligent.
His daughter is also a human being.
An Yun rested her hands behind her head and said leisurely, "Are you jealous? I envy you for finding someone else to be your daughter."
"You deserve a beating!" Grand Tutor An raised his hand high.
An Yun leaned forward and said, "If you want to hit me, then hit me. If I don't, then I'll take your last name."
Master An was so angry that he laughed. He grabbed An Yun's ears and raised them high: "Rebellious girl, if you want to piss me off to death, just say it."
An Yun pulled back her ears and said with a playful smile: "I won't talk to you anymore. If you really want to find a stepmother, it would be better to avoid being lonely all day."
Ever since her mother died, her father has had to play the role of both father and mother, and his life has been very hard.
"Besides, I'm older now and don't need much care. You're free anyway."
Master An stroked his beard, seeing that she was ungrateful:
"Don't you know that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather? It seems that you have forgotten the good life. You should try the hard life."
An Yun agreed when she heard this and quickly waved her hands: "Dad, then wait until I die and then find a stepmother."
"Get out!"
Master An turned around and got into the carriage, not even wanting to mention taking his daughter with him.
An Yun ran away happily, and Master An leaned out of the car window:
"By the time you die...I would have reunited with your mother long ago." What a ridiculous stepmother.
He watched his daughter gradually disappear into the distance, leaving only a black dot. He lamented that the child who was only as tall as his waist had grown so tall.
He finally lived up to his wife's trust and had the nerve to go down and see her.
…
An Yun bit into the pancake, which was fragrant with onion and so crispy that it was falling apart.
"It would be nice if Mingzhu was here."
Usually at this time, she would bring an extra copy and send it to the East Palace like a thief. The two of them would talk bad about others and then go back to sleep contentedly.
When An Yun thought of Zhao Mingzhu, she remembered the silver and money that had disappeared before, and she changed direction on her way home.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
An Yun stuck her butt out and started digging. As she dug, she cursed herself for burying so deep. Now all the cake she had just eaten wasted.
Fortunately, just as she was scolding herself, the last box appeared.
This is another place where she is buried.
Placing the six boxes in front of her, An Yun clasped her hands together and prayed:
"It has to be good news. I'm willing to shorten my lifespan by a year... No, I'd rather shorten Bai Lan's. He doesn't look like a good person. He's been a disaster for thousands of years."
After An Yun finished speaking, she felt that she was being immoral, so she decided to change the life span to her own.
She closed her eyes and opened all the boxes in one breath. When she opened her eyes again, disappointment filled her eyes in an instant.
The silver and money in the box remained intact.
An Yun couldn't explain how she felt right now. She felt a little sad. Could it be that Mingzhu was really dead...
An Yun closed the box and buried them one by one.
She couldn't help but think of the past. Because her two fathers had a very good relationship, she and Zhao Mingzhu had known each other since they were very young.
But An Yun knew that the other party didn't like her very much. She was only good at wielding swords and sticks, and she was not smart.
Later, when they met at the academy, since they both disliked Su Lu, she and Zhao Mingzhu had a common enemy, so they became closer, but that was all.
But later, they somehow got along very well, and An Yun felt that she really liked her.
An Yun sat on the ground, looking at the clear yellow moon in the sky, took out a pastry from her arms, and started crying while eating.
The girl cried silently at first, and then her voice became louder and louder. She howled and cried to the moon, "Mingzhu!" Her tears fell to the ground, as if she would not stop until she had made a deep crater.
The moon was gradually covered by clouds, as if covered with a veil, quietly looking at An Yun below.
An Yun sobbed as she stuffed the last bite of the biscuit into her mouth. She got up and prepared to go home.
When passing by a tree, she remembered what Zhao Mingzhu said about burying her whenever she missed her, and she pulled off the pure gold hairpin on her head. She remembered that there seemed to be a box on the tree as well.
We'll put them in together later.
An Yun reached in and took out the box, then opened it and put the golden hairpin inside.
But she looked at the note lying inside...had she let it go before?
An Yun picked it up and opened it casually.
A line of words suddenly caught her eye, causing a huge wave of emotion.
It only says:
Will we meet again, Anzi? Of course.
An Yun held the note in her trembling hands and covered her mouth to suppress her screams!
It's Mingzhu, it's her! She's not dead!
She really took the money.
An Yun jumped down from the tree, dancing with excitement. She was not dead, not dead, as long as she was not dead...
Very good!
