"By the way, did Anxian leave with Second Uncle?" After changing out of her pajamas, Anle remembered this little incident from yesterday and asked casually.
“You said that, and this morning at breakfast, Grandpa went over and gave them a good scolding. How could they not leave?” Anning felt all the frustration in her heart disappear and felt incredibly comfortable.
But the thought of her mother giving Anxian a small gold hairpin made her unhappy.
Previously, she and her cousin Zhiqin ganged up on Anxian and stormed off. Anxian then went to complain to her mother, but her mother appeased her with a small gold hairpin.
Thinking about this makes me feel disgusted, like I've swallowed a fly. How come her mother is so good-natured, giving her everything?
It's because we always spoil her like this that she's become so arrogant and domineering.
Although it's just a red gold hairpin, it's still worth a few taels of silver.
Moreover, it was bought by her younger sister, and to just give it away like this is such a waste of her younger sister's good intentions.
She angrily recounted the whole story to Anle, but Anle waved her hand dismissively, saying, "It's just a few taels of silver, forget about it."
Consider it a lesson learned; we'll just never let her in again.

Greentown.
Yan Linglong waited at the auction house for several days, but the so-called distinguished guest did not appear. She was puzzled. She clearly saw that there were auspicious clouds floating above her auction house, but now the auspicious clouds were gradually dissipating, and the distinguished guest did not appear.
Yan Linglong felt a little disappointed. She had never miscalculated anything before, but this time it was an unexpected surprise.
"Miss, he's just a minor VIP, why are you so concerned? How much more important is he than you?"
"Perhaps, just your arrival changed the atmosphere. Even the auspicious clouds dispersed upon seeing you; clearly, no one can match your noble bearing."
Yan Linglong glanced at the maid Xiao Tan.
"What do you know? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Tan reluctantly shut her mouth. "Yes, Miss."
"Why did Father summon me back?"
"I heard that you were planning to take me to Hongcheng."
"Go to Red City?" Yan Linglong raised an eyebrow. "Why is Father thinking of taking me to Red City?"
"I heard that they wanted to take you to meet the young master of the Red City Lord's Mansion. The city lord said that he couldn't let you stay cooped up at home all the time. Going out to meet some friends and have some fun would improve your mood and your health would naturally improve as well."
At this point, Xiao Tan hesitated for a moment, then coughed lightly and said, "Miss heard that you're going too, and she's insisting on going together. Are you still going, Miss?"
The young lady and her mistress have always been at odds, and when they get together, they always manage to cause some trouble, although it's always the young lady who ends up losing face and suffering the consequences.
But her young mistress also seemed quite annoyed by being with the eldest young lady.
“Go, why wouldn’t you go? Since it was Father who said so, of course we should go.”

In Hongcheng, Anle took Yu Rong to the auction house again. This was her last visit, and she didn't plan to come back again.
As soon as the person entered the auction house, the manager personally invited him to Feng Yan's side.
They were already old acquaintances and regular customers, especially since they were treated as VIPs, and the manager was incredibly enthusiastic.
The man was invited inside, and the steward withdrew.
Feng Yan always treated this treasure trove that came to his door with courtesy and a warm smile.
"Miss Yue is here! What wonderful treasures have you brought this time?"
Yu Rong casually placed the bundle on the table. Feng Yan opened it and looked at it. His eyes lit up and his smile deepened.
"As expected, I always manage to get good goods from Miss Yue. Moreover, my mother is extremely fond of your products, and she always keeps some of the goods that are delivered to her door."
If it weren't for the need to recoup some of the cost, my mother would probably have kept them all; she really loves these things!
When the city lord's wife was mentioned, Anle's eyes crinkled, and the light in them softened considerably.
They were able to settle down and live in their current house entirely thanks to the city lord's wife.
They only took two gems and exchanged them for this huge mansion; it's quite a bargain.
After learning about the city lord's wife's preferences, she later had Yu Rong send her a piece of jewelry.
It was something personally tailored for the city lord's wife, who was overjoyed, and their relationship was thus established as one of friendship.
"Please give my regards to your wife."
"Hehe, Miss Le, you certainly know how to please people. You've won over my mother with just a piece of jewelry." When the jewelry was mentioned, a strange light appeared in Feng Yan's eyes.
That's icy jadeite.
He only learned that it was a type of jadeite called "icy jadeite" after having it appraised by a specialist after receiving it from his mother.
It is something that absolutely does not exist within the territory of his Tianqi Kingdom.
This is an absolutely top-quality item; even the royal family doesn't have it.
This little girl can even get her hands on such top-quality items.
That's why his mother treated this little girl with great care.
Although the child was only six years old, he felt that this child was not an ordinary child, and definitely more worthy of being treated with caution than an adult.
Therefore, he never treated her like a little kid. After they became familiar with each other, he always called her Miss Yue.
"Why not go and say hello in person? My mother has been thinking about you. We have guests visiting, and my mother specially made some pastries. Why don't you go and have a taste?"
"No, we'll pass if we have guests." Although she was very close to the city lord's wife, she always kept business and personal matters separate.
Business is business. Why do we have to treat business relationships like deep friendships?
This way, it'll be really expensive to start a relationship!
That's why she's always kept her distance from Feng Yan, maintaining only a business relationship so that it's easier to discuss deals.
"Hehe, it's alright. The guests were received by my father's side. My mother makes a lot of pastries. It's rare to see my mother cook herself, so we can't miss this opportunity. My mother is very good at making pastries. Let's go and have a taste together."
Having said all that, Anle couldn't refuse any longer. She could only nod reluctantly, take the money for the jewelry, and then follow Feng Yanren to the mansion.
Feng Yan is always generous with his money when making deals here. Compared to Greentown, he is a truly ethical businessman.
It's definitely a fair deal.
Regardless of how he resells these jewels or how much he earns, at least the price she paid was satisfactory to him.
