Chapter 319: Showing off too much
Meng Xiyan raised his hand, and the people he brought climbed over the wall into the yard, and then there were loud hammering sounds from inside.
After a while, someone came out from climbing over the wall.
Meng Xiyan broke off a corner of the tile and threw it over, hitting the man on the head, and he immediately fainted.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the house was cleared out and replaced with Meng Xiyan's men. The original guards were tied up and stuffed into a carriage and taken away.
As for so much charcoal, it is not easy to transfer it in a short time.
Therefore, Wen Yan and the others never thought about moving.
"Wen Ruyue is really good at choosing, she only picked up good quality charcoal.
Now is not the best time to sell, but we should still transport some of it to Meng’s shop to sell.
However, the price was set very high from the beginning, three times that of other shops.
The rest were too lazy to move around, so they remained here and were looked after by Meng Xiyan's men.
It's done.
"Everyone has been busy all morning, I'll treat everyone to breakfast." Wen Yan invited Meng Xiyan to go out for breakfast.
"I want to eat pork rib noodles."
"Okay, I want to eat wonton noodles from Dengwa City with two eggs."
"I want five bowls of wontons."
They went to the wonton stall, chatting and laughing.
Wen Yan used two taels of silver to buy the entire wonton stall.
"Brothers and uncles, enjoy your meal. I'm going home first." She packed three portions and said goodbye to Meng Xiyan while carrying the lunch box. "I still have to go to each family to give gifts of thanks today, so I'll leave first."
Meng Xiyan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'll take you home."
After hearing Yan's refusal, he got on his horse and left.
Wen Ruyue came over and found that the charcoal she had spent so much money and effort to obtain was back in her hands.
I don’t know how angry I’ll be!
When Wen Yan thought of Wen Ruyue rolling her eyes in anger, her mood became much better.
When Wen Yan returned to 'A Little Ink', Pei'er was standing under the eaves, staring at her with a pout: "Miss, why didn't you call me when you went out!"
"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't want to wake you up."
"Humph! You lied to me!" Pei'er stamped her feet angrily, "You just thought I was a burden and deliberately left me out."
"Oh my, my Pei'er is really angry!
Look at this fair and rosy face, it has become bigger because of anger.
And his eyes are all red, which is really painful to look at.
Baby Pearl, come to my arms, I love you!"
Wen Yan hugged Pei'er, pinched her chubby face, and gently plucked her long eyelashes.
Pearl stamped her feet angrily: "Miss, where did you learn these playboy behaviors? I hate them so much."
"Oh my, who made my little sister angry? I don't know how to coax little girls, so I have to learn the tricks of coaxing little girls from those playboys outside, right?
Are you still angry with me? If you are still angry, I will have no choice but to continue studying..."
Pei'er was embarrassed and annoyed, and her round face turned red.
Pei'er covered her mouth with her hand: "Miss, shut up, don't say anymore, what if others hear it!"
"What are you afraid of? There's nothing here..." Before she could finish her words, she heard voices coming from the second floor.
"It's too late. I heard everything you said."
Pearl was startled and looked nervously in the direction of the sound.
"Uncle!"
Since we are one of the same family, this way the bad reputation of the young lady won’t be spread.
Pearl breathed a sigh of relief.
wrong!
The son-in-law heard it with his own ears.
If she minds the young lady's...dissolute behavior and it affects the relationship between husband and wife, wouldn't that be more terrifying than the rumors outside!
She tensed her face again nervously.
Wen Yan pinched her face and looked up at Ying Zhilin: "Why are you here?"
Ying Zhilin said, "Yesterday was the last class, and today is the beginning of my annual leave, so I came here."
"You left early enough!" Wen Yan joked.
It takes more than an hour to travel from Songshan Village to the capital by horse carriage.
Ying Zhilin's appearance at "A Little Ink" at this moment can only mean that he set out before dawn.
"Of course not! Xiao Haiyin started rushing me, coming in every quarter of an hour to call me, and I can't be late even a little bit." Ying Zhilin smiled bitterly and pointed at his eye circles, "Look at my dark circles, they are bigger than yours."
Pei'er looked at Ying Zhilin, then at Wen Yan, and then burst out laughing, "You two both have such big dark circles under your eyes, you look like a couple."
Wen Yan pinched her cheek.
Pei'er groaned in pain, "Miss, please let me go. I will never talk nonsense again."
"That's almost enough! Go call Su He to come for breakfast." Wen Yan then let go of her and shook the lunch box in his hand.
"Are these wontons from Uncle Chen's shop in Dengwa City?"
"Um."
"That's great! I like eating wontons from Uncle Chen's shop the most." Pei'er happily went to the shop to call for help.
Wen Yan said, "Come down and eat together!"
Ying Zhilin: “Okay!”
After breakfast, Wen Yan first asked someone to deliver visiting cards to the people to whom he had given gifts yesterday, and then went to catch up on his sleep.
Perhaps because he was full and satisfied, Wen Yan lay down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I was not woken up until noon.
"Miss, hurry up and wash up. We still have to go to various houses to return gifts this afternoon. There are many things to do."
"Which families have received our visiting cards?"
"I've accepted them all, but Concubine Gong has returned to the palace and is not at the Princess's residence. You don't need to go there this afternoon."
Wen Yan thought for a moment, picked up her eyebrow pencil, and wrote down a list: "Prepare a gift according to this. We may not meet the Concubine Dowager, but the gift must still be delivered."
Wen Yan carefully dressed up and prepared to go out after lunch.
Ying Zhilin was waiting at the backyard gate in his carriage.
"Are you here to be my coachman again?" Wen Yan teased him and got on the carriage.
"I'm free anyway, so let's go and finish work early."
In fact, not many people gave gifts yesterday, and Wen Yan visited them one by one according to the gift list.
He also sent a thank-you gift to Concubine Gong, and finally went to the Prince of Thailand's Palace.
She was soon led into the palace.
Thai Wangsun was jumping around at the entrance of the main hall like a little rabbit: "Sister Yanyan!"
Wen Yan strode into the main hall.
The King of Thailand was already sitting in the hall, drinking tea leisurely.
Wen Yan greeted them one by one: "Greetings, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty."
"Sister Yanyan, please stop being polite."
The King of Thailand looked quite friendly and nodded at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan stood up as he was told, and asked Ying Zhilin to put the gift box on the table.
After opening the gift box, Wen Yan said, "Your Highness, this is the Jade Lotus Basin. Perhaps the prince was in a hurry yesterday and took the wrong gift.
I am sending it back today.”
The King of Thailand raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that she could resist such a great temptation and return the things.
King Tai said, "Since my grandson gave it to you, it is yours. There is no reason to take back the gifts given by my Ji family.
You take it back."
"This gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
"This is just an ordinary item in my wife's dowry. Just accept it with confidence."
Wen Yan: “…”
People say no.
The potted plant that could be worth a city turned out to be the most ordinary item.
King of Thailand, you are showing off too much!
