Minhu closed his eyes, and that sweet, soothing voice carried him across thousands of mountains and rivers, to a vast grassland. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there were green grass, flowers, streams, fluttering butterflies, and that beautiful girl...
In order to find out how much the screen could help Minhu sleep, Xu Lanyin eavesdropped on Minhu's thoughts. Before he fell asleep, he actually called out "Lanyin".
Xu Lanyin was startled and her mind moved away.
Could it be that this boss and patient has developed feelings for me?
Xu Lanyin looked at this calm, handsome face. He was sound asleep, his mouth slightly raised, his eyebrows smooth and wrinkle-free, and he was snoring softly. In his dream, there was a beautiful scenery and a beautiful girl. So he was not only relaxed, but also extremely happy and joyful...
Xu Lanyin calmed herself down, turned around, nodded to Butler Hao and Qingfeng who were serving beside her, and fled out of the outer study.
Because of those treasures, Xu Lanyin had long wanted to go home and hide the things. Now that she knew Minhu's thoughts, she wanted to leave here even faster.
Not to mention that the Min family is a typical feudal family with a history of a hundred years. The relationships within the family are complicated and the men have many wives and concubines. Even Min's stepmother is not a worry. His wife died of unknown causes and his daughter was killed speechlessly. There may be a dark hand behind the scenes. Xu Lanyin would not be stupid enough to wade into that muddy water.
The relationship between her and Minhu was that of a superior and a subordinate, a patient and a doctor. Fortunately, with the help of the screen, his insomnia was alleviated, and the time spent hypnotizing him would decrease.
After many interactions with Min Hu and considering his reputation, Xu Lanyin believed that Min Hu would not force her to do anything, so she wasn't particularly worried that he would force her to do anything. However, it would be best to have less contact with him in the future.
Xu Lanyin washed up and went to bed, and saw Zhao Xingchen staring at her. His eyes, unblinking in the darkness, were like stars in the night sky, especially bright.
Xu Lanyin asked softly, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
Zhao Xingchen said softly, "I can't sleep without my aunt."
Xu Lanyin smiled and kissed him before lying down.
Zhao Xingchen sat up immediately and said excitedly, "Mom, Xiaoxiao wants another kiss."
Xu Lanyin also sat up and asked, "Do you remember your name now? You were called Xiaoxiao before?"
Zhao Xingchen's eyes were filled with confusion again, and he asked, "Aunt, who is Xiaoxiao?"
He just blurted it out without even realizing it.
Xu Lanyin leaned over and kissed him again, saying, "Good boy, go to sleep, your aunt will accompany you."
"Oh, I like my aunt's kiss." Zhao Xingchen lay down with a smile, twisted his little body, and fell asleep with his little head tilted.
Xu Lanyin touched his pretty little face and thought to herself that if she were his mother, she would cry to death if she lost her son.
Listening to the snoring beside her pillow and gazing at the moonlight filtering through the window, Xu Lanyin began to think of Zhao Wu again. If only he were here, she could tell him many things she couldn't share with anyone else, and she could delegate tasks she couldn't handle herself.
Thinking of Zhao Wu, Xu Lanyin felt a surge of tenderness in her heart... This emotion startled her into sitting up. He was still a half-grown boy, and I, an old man, wouldn't try to take advantage of him, would I? That young man not only regarded me as a sister, but also as a mother, and he absolutely trusted and respected me. If that naughty kid knew I had such feelings for him, I wondered if he would laugh at me or embarrass me.
She thought about it and realized that she treated Zhao Wu like her own brother. The emotion she had just felt was probably the concern of an older sister for her brother. Even if Xu Lanzhou and Xu Lanting were to carry out dangerous missions in the future, she would still be worried and concerned.
She secretly complained about herself, saying that she was like this in her past life, saying that others could talk a lot, but she couldn't figure out anything related to love... But her father in her past life said that she understood it too well, so her emotions had no place to go...
She went downstairs to the window and flung it wide. The autumn wind was chilly, the moonlight was like frost, and the bright full moon had a missing edge.
I don't know where Zhao Wu is now. Is he traveling day and night, resting in an inn, or fighting with criminals...
It was better in the past life. We had mobile phones and WeChat, and we could video chat no matter how far away we were.
The next day, Xu Lanyin took a few children, as well as Ding Gu and Ding Xiaoran, father and son, to the shop on Qingqu Street.
Arriving at the outer courtyard, the smiling housekeeper Hao led two young men to greet Xu Lanyin. These two men were the brothers He Dong and He Xi, who were temporarily serving as servants in the Xu family.
Xu Lanyin asked the chess master to give them a purse containing silver ingots.
Butler Hao handed Xu Lanyin another purse, saying it was the money Lord Min paid for the embroidery. He also said that the embroidery was a different kind of medicine. Lord Min slept until dawn today, sleeping for more than four hours, and was only woken by the breeze.
Thinking of the "Lanyin" that Minhu called before he fell asleep, Xu Lanyin felt a little uncomfortable. She took the purse and thanked him.
After getting on the carriage, Xu Lanyin opened his purse, which contained one thousand taels of silver.
Xu Lanyin smiled. Boss Min was quite generous. Of course, that embroidery was not only a rare masterpiece, but also a good medicine for insomnia. So much money was worth it.
Xu Lanyin decided to spend a few hundred taels of this money to buy a three-story house in the provincial capital, registering it under the Qin family's name. Besides decorating and buying furniture, she would also use the remaining money to buy a small shop to serve as a snack shop...
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Lanting said, "Sister, one thousand taels of silver, that's a lot."
The little kid can recognize words and banknotes.
Xu Lanyin smiled and said, "Well, our family has enough money to buy a house and a shop in the provincial capital."
Xu Lanting was so happy that he said to Min Jia, "My family will move to the provincial capital in the future. Please come to my house and play."
Minjia nodded his little head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Zhao Xingchen pouted and asked, "Uncle, don't you want to invite Little Star?"
Xu Lanting curled his lips and said, "Silly, Uncle Zhao is a family to us, and you are also a family to us. Do we still need to invite someone to our own home?"
After hearing this, Zhao Xingchen smiled triumphantly again.
Arriving at the shop, the group arranged for the three children to play Go. Xu Lanting and Minjia played Go, while Xiao Xingxing watched. Xu Lanyin was reluctant to release checkers and would not bring them here, so they had to play Go. Both children had only learned the basics of Go and did not enjoy it, but without checkers, they had to play Go as a last resort.
Xu Lanyin showed Ding Gu the blueprints and explained how to renovate the shop. He planned to live in the shop and hire a cook to help with the cooking when the decorators arrived.
The shop didn't cost money, nor did it require rent. With so many treasures hidden within her, Xu Lanyin didn't need to save money, so she planned to use 800 taels of silver to renovate and buy furniture. She wanted to furnish not only the shop in front, but also the yard in the back.
