Chapter 73 A Gift for Meng Lan
Cai Yong did not refute. He was always agitated by Liu Ruyan because he could not get her before, but now that she took the initiative to approach him, he was not as interested in her as before.
But he really liked Liu Ruyan's face and figure, and he was reluctant to give them up.
Mr. Cai glanced at him and said, "If she is willing to be your concubine in the future, it is not impossible for you to marry her as a plaything."
"Dad, what happened?" Cai Yong smiled.
"Let me find out first. Behave yourself these few days." After saying this, Mr. Cai stood up and left.
Liu Ruyan has been almost depressed these days. Cai Yong, that damn guy, doesn't even answer his calls now. He either says he's not home or he's busy.
Could it be because of what Siming said that day? Impossible, he didn't say anything that day.
Mr. Cai listened to the housekeeper's report of the investigation: "So, apart from a few shops, the Liu family doesn't have much else now?"
"Yes, I used two hundred large yellow croakers to buy two medicines, and I also lost a shop. Now I have lost all the good farmland."
"The Liu family probably only has a few dozen large yellow croakers right now, and they don't have a lot of other things in their shop."
"Also, I heard that the Liu family has quite a few antiques, but I don't know whether they are real or not."
"Master, the Liu family has borrowed money from the bank. If this news gets out, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep their last bit of property."
"Look?" the butler said and stopped talking.
"Didn't the Liu family look down on our Cai family before? I was wondering why they suddenly changed their ways and wanted to marry into our family. It turns out they were just setting a trap for me to jump into."
"Since they are so unkind, we don't need to be polite to them. Spread the news." Mr. Cai snorted coldly and ordered.
Governor's Office.
Now that the three children in the family are studying very hard, Yan Anqing naturally doesn't have to worry about Si Jinchen and Ma Yang. The only headache is the girl Juanjuan.
But now he has come to terms with it. It is enough for the child to know how to read. Whether he can write or not is not so important.
Yan Anqing finished teaching today's class and was about to leave when he was stopped by the housekeeper.
"Mr. Yan, our old lady invites you to come over and sit down."
Yan Anqing nodded and went to the living room, where she saw Madam Si already waiting for her: "Madam Si."
"Please take a seat, Mr. Yan." Madam Si smiled and asked him to sit down.
"I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" Yan Anqing straightened his gown, sat down, and put his handbag on the table.
Madam Si took out a box and handed it to him: "This is for Menglan. I haven't seen her recently. Please help me bring it back to her."
Yan Anqing took the box and opened it to see a set of emerald orchid-style earrings, necklace and ring inside.
"This thing is too valuable, we can't accept it." He closed the lid and pushed it back in front of her.
"This is for Menglan, not for you. Just take it back. If she doesn't want it, ask her to return it to me herself." Old Madam Si felt a headache seeing his old-fashioned temper.
I don’t know how Jian Menglan could tolerate him and spend her whole life with him.
Yan Anqing wanted to get up and leave, but he felt that it would be a bad idea to do so. He hesitated for a long time and said, "She won't want it either."
"Just tell her that this jade is a leftover scrap. I felt it was a pity to have it, so I made this set of orchid jewelry. It was also made by the master from A Tian Cui Yu Lou."
"I didn't give it to her for nothing. I asked her to wear it to help me promote the Cui Yu Lou. The Cui Yu Lou will reopen soon, and she has to come and support me."
Madam Si looked at him and said.
Yan Anqing couldn't refuse after hearing her say that: "Then I'll take it back and ask her."
"Well, if she doesn't like it, let her come to me to exchange it. I have a lot here." Madam Si said with a smile.
Yan Anqing put the box into his bag, stood up and left.
A few days ago, Si Tian brought back the finished jewelry, and Madam Si called all the servants in the house and gave each of them one.
They can wear it themselves or give it to their children in the future.
The servants in the house had all signed indentures, and the Governor's Mansion also provided accommodation. Some of them got married and lived in the houses nearby.
The housekeeper looked at the jade ring in his hand and said, "Old Madam, this jade ring will sell for a lot of yellow croaker if you take it out!"
"The Governor's Mansion doesn't need to sell these yet, so you can keep them for yourselves."
"You are all veterans of this Governor's Mansion. I only have one request: don't do anything that would make you lose your conscience."
Madam Si gave them both a sweet treat and a slap in the face, reminding them not to make the same mistake as Caijuan.
In fact, everyone in the Governor's Office understood that they and the Governor's Office were in a situation where they would prosper and suffer together.
They will not do anything to harm the Governor's Mansion. If this place is gone, where will they have a place to stay?
Mayang also got a peace locket, which he now wears around his neck.
He still remembered what the old lady said when she put the crown on him: "Xiaoyang, I wish you peace and safety in the future, free from illness and disaster."
Thinking about it now, his heart is warm. He reached out and touched the location of the peace locket, and a smile appeared on his face.
Si Jinchen was studying the gun, thinking about how to realize his last idea.
Ma Yang now goes to the store in the afternoon, and whenever he has time, he will study guns with the two of them.
"Brother, look." Juanjuan imitated him by drawing a gun on the paper.
The only difference is that the guns she drew had a lot more beautiful lines for decoration, but they looked different from ordinary guns.
"Huh! Double-layered?" Si Jinchen saw that the barrel of the gun was very long and divided into two layers, upper and lower.
"Master, if we put the bullets on the lower layer, why not put them in the magazine?" Ma Yang said, pointing to the lower layer of the scroll painting.
Si Jinchen's eyes lit up. This method seemed to work: "Let's try it."
The two of them lay on the ground and started drawing again.
Juanjuan held his pen and frowned: "Isn't my drawing good? Why don't my brothers praise me?"
Humph! I'll ignore you.
Juanjuan got up from the ground with a huff, picked up his drawing paper, and went out with his short legs to find Songsongruanruan to play with.
Old Madam Si was reading the newspaper. When she saw her coming out with an unhappy look on her face, she thought that Si Jinchen and the others had bullied her.
"What happened? Did your brothers bully you?"
"Grandma, my brothers and the others no longer say that Juanjuan's paintings are beautiful." Juanjuan looked at her aggrievedly, with her eyes still a little red.
Madam Si smiled and brought her over: "Then show grandma what our Juanjuan has painted!"
Juanjuan handed the drawing paper in his hand to her.
Madam Si took it and looked at it carefully: "It's so beautiful, our Juanjuan's painting is really great."
"But my brother and the others didn't say anything." Juanjuan lowered her head, still very unhappy.
