Chapter 485: Wen Ruyue's New Shop
Ying Zhilin's eyes widened.
He couldn't resist Wen Yan's coquettishness at all.
She is acting coquettishly!
She was acting coquettishly towards herself!
Ying Zhilin wanted to respond to her immediately.
But he held back.
He couldn't leave Wen Yan with the impression that he could easily stand him up.
"Hmph! You don't care about your promise to me at all." Ying Zhilin pulled his hand back forcefully, hugged his arms, and turned his back to Wen Yan.
There was a humming sound coming from his mouth.
Wen Yan: “…”
It's over.
Is it really impossible to coax this guy today?
She pulled Ying Zhilin in front of her.
She pinched his chin and forced him to look at her.
"Ying Zhilin, you're so hard to coax. I'll coax you one last time. If you don't calm down, I'll ignore you."
Ying Zhilin lowered his eyes and looked at her with an expression that said, "Let me see how you coax me."
Wen Yan suddenly stepped back:
The rain stopped and the sky cleared up, and a little yellow duck swam out of the lotus pond. The little yellow duck carried the lotus flowers on its head and swayed back home, giving the flowers to the handsome man at home!
Wen Yan sang a song she made up while jumping and spinning in circles like a little duck.
Finally, she jumped in front of Ying Zhilin, put her hands together and then opened them, like a blooming flower.
Ying Zhilin was stunned.
Wen Yan compared herself to a blooming camellia, and he was the handsome young man at home?!
In just a moment, he was touched by Wen Yan's cuteness.
My heart was suddenly filled with emotions.
Ever since his parents passed away, he not only had to take care of himself, but also his younger siblings. No one had ever comforted him like this again.
The grievance of being stood up disappeared in an instant.
He reached out and flicked her forehead, then pinched her cheek: "I'm fine."
Since you have coaxed me so cutely, how can I bear to be angry again?
"Have you lost your anger?"
He hugged Wen Yan and said, "I'm no longer angry."
Wen Yan pushed him away and walked to the broken food box: "Then let's talk about what to eat for dinner."
Ying Zhilin took a look at the food box and pulled Wen Yan to the backyard.
"Where are you taking me?" Wen Yan didn't want to be pulled away by him, so she shook off his hand.
Ying Zhilin stretched out his arms and picked her up by the waist.
"Ah, Ying Zhilin, what are you doing! Let me go!" Wen Yan screamed in fright at the sudden change.
Ying Zhilin wrapped her in his arms, holding her like a carrot: "Don't move, I'll take you to eat."
Wen Yan rolled her eyes in her heart: Do you want to eat? Or do you want to eat me?
A moment later, the two arrived at the small hall in the backyard.
Several delicious dishes were already placed on the table in the small hall, all of which were Wen Yan’s favorites.
Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like it was really just a simple meal.
After they sat down, they started eating.
When he was half full, Wen Yan thought of the "Lan family transporting water" incident.
Wen Yan then told Ying Zhilin about this matter: "You have just arrived at the Dali Temple, so you probably haven't been exposed to many cases. You might as well use this incident to make a name for yourself."
Wen Yan is planning my future.
Ying Zhilin felt sweet inside, but his face showed an expression of annoyance and fear: "But the Lan family is powerful and influential. I couldn't twist their arms against his thighs, so he just crushed me to death.
I’m scared!
As Ying Zhilin spoke, he leaned on Wen Yan's shoulder.
Wen Yan: “…”
If he was afraid of the Lan family's power, how could he have allowed Ji Chengyuan to cause such a big incident at the Spring Banquet?
This guy is pretending again.
Wen Yancai would not fall for his trick.
"That's right. I'm just a small official now. It's really too much for me to manage the Lan family's affairs."
Wen Yan nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked Ying Zhilin, "Are you familiar with Pei Qiuyan, the Junior Justice of the Dali Temple? Could you introduce him to me, or pass on a message for me?"
Pei Qiupan has superb skills in solving cases and is not afraid of power.
There will definitely be no problem if we leave this case to him.
"You want him to investigate this case?" Ying Zhilin pursed his lips. "Since I'm useless, you abandoned me and went looking for someone else..."
Wen Yan's forehead was filled with question marks, and his tone was even more serious: "He has a higher position than you, so it's only right for him to investigate this case."
Ying Zhilin: “…”
"Okay, let me check this matter."
"It's better not to do that! What if you end up getting yourself into trouble..."
Ying Zhilin stuffed a piece of bitter melon into her mouth to stop her from saying anything else.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day.
Wen Yan got up before dawn.
As soon as she moved, she woke up Ying Zhilin.
Ying Zhilin lay on the bed, supporting his head and watching her busy washing and dressing.
A happy smile appeared involuntarily on my face.
After Wen Yan finished dressing up, Ying Zhilin was already waiting for her at the gate of the courtyard with a horse.
Wen Yan asked in surprise, "You're going to the yamen now? The gates of the yamen haven't even opened yet!"
Ying Zhilin Zhao Wenyan stretched out his hand: "It's not yet daylight, and I'm worried about you going out alone. I'll take you to Qingfeng Xiaolou."
Wen Yan opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But she still held back.
She put her hand in his and used his strength to get on the horse.
The sound of horse hooves clattering on the empty streets in the early morning made a crisp sound.
The two walked forward in silence.
At this moment, Wen Yan was a little dazed, as if it would be nice to just continue walking with him like this.
When Wen Yan arrived at Qingfeng Xiaolou, it was already busy.
As the sky gradually brightened, the "maids" from Songshan Village also arrived.
"Why are you here so early!" Wen Yan asked in surprise.
Xianglian answered for everyone.
It turned out that after she sent someone to deliver the message to Songshan Village yesterday, Xianglian quickly organized everyone, rented an ox cart, and rushed to the capital overnight.
As soon as the city gate opened this morning, they rushed to the "building".
Wen Yan told them the layout requirements, and then went out with Pei'er to purchase other things.
The two of them ran around outside for most of the day and only returned home in the afternoon after buying everything.
Wen Yan was exhausted, but Pei'er was still full of energy, jumping around and looking around.
As they passed Zhuangyuan Street, Pei'er suddenly said, "Miss, Wen Ruyue's shop is just up ahead. I'll go see what they sell there."
After saying that, she skipped towards Wen Ruyue's shop.
Wen Yan also hurriedly chased after him.
When she caught up with him to the shop, Pearl had already finished her round and came out.
She pulled Wen Yan, her tongue chattering with shock: "Miss, there's something strange in this store."
"What's weird?"
"Several sets of clothes sold there are exactly the same as the ones you made recently." Pei'er pulled her into the store and came to a clothes rack: "Miss, look at these two. Do they look like the two you gave to Miss Ning Tan and Concubine Gong?"
(ps, clothes hanger: ancient clothes hanger)
Pei'er pulled Wen Yan to the second clothes rack and said, "This one, does it look like the one you gave to the second daughter of the Meng family? And these ones, you asked Madam Sheng to...
And these two are exactly the same as the ones you asked Aunt Lan Xin to bring into the palace yesterday..."
