"If you donate all your fancy clothes, then you'll have to wear the old clothes of me and our younger siblings. I'm afraid it won't be comfortable for you?"
An Yan heard Mrs. Liu's words, her eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, saying: "I suddenly like wearing old clothes, as long as the two sisters-in-law don't give brocade new clothes, brocade will get used to it."
She thought to herself that if she didn't make it clear now, these two sisters-in-law would probably be too embarrassed to bring some new clothes for her to wear.
Liu's eyes flickered slightly, and she was taken aback. She carefully sized up An Yan for a moment, but An Yan maintained a gentle smile, leaving Liu momentarily stunned.
"It's time to eat."
It was Wang's voice that brought Liu back to her senses, and Liu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, but looking at An Yan's still gentle face, she also put down her guard.
Liu held up her clothes with one hand and led Chubby with the other, still comforting him with soothing words.
"It's rare for you to get up so early, this time everyone can have breakfast together."
Liu said this to ease the atmosphere, but after saying it, she only reacted and realized that her words were a bit too cold. She quickly covered her mouth, looking at An Yan with surprise and uncertainty, but found that An Yan's expression had not changed, his eyes clear and bright, with an earnest listening attitude, without any signs of displeasure. Liu's face regained its smile, and her gaze towards An Yan became even more affectionate.
Everyone was relatively silent while eating, and everyone's expression didn't look very good. It seems that no one had a good rest last night.
The meal passed in silence, and after dinner everyone remained seated. Bai Qi raised his eyes to scan the crowd before speaking: "We all see the current situation, we need to think of another way, find a new buyer for the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine. As for Qing Feng Wine House, our White family will never go there again."
When it came to Qingfeng Wine House, Bai Qi's tone was full of chill.
Everyone who listened also nodded in agreement. The Qingfeng Wine House is now suddenly like this, it's really relying on power to bully people. From now on, there will be no possibility of cooperation at all.
Bai Qi saw that everyone did not object, thought for a moment and turned his head to say to Bai Ping: "Now Nanzhou County is probably not possible, Brother Ping, you go take a look at Gaodi County."
Bai Ping listened and hastily agreed.
"Well, let's just leave it at that, and everyone can go back to their own business."
As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, everyone dispersed. But An Yan looked at Su San with a somewhat strange expression - wasn't it always Su San who went to sell the wine before? However, after thinking about it for a moment, he understood the reason. In the past, everything had already been negotiated beforehand, and all Su San needed to do was deliver the goods and collect the payment. But now, they had to find new buyers and partners again. Such a task was really not suitable for Su San.
An softly couldn't help but sneak a glance at Su's stern and serious face, yesterday under the dim oil lamp, she thought there was a kind of artistic abstract beauty. But now, in broad daylight, she felt that last night was all an illusion...
The Bai family had breakfast, and Xiū Niáng stayed at home to take care of the children and cook. Bai Qǐ and his wife Lǐu Shì went to work in the fields. Sū Sān returned to his own room, while Bái Shì rested inside. Suddenly, ān Yán was left alone, unsure what to do. He thought about going to help in the fields to improve relations with the Bai family. However, he was reminded by the bamboo leaves in the courtyard and ended up staying at home as usual.
Anyway, the previous Tang Jinxiu didn't have to do anything, so the Bai family was also used to it. In their hearts, they all thought that as long as nothing went wrong, everything would be fine.
An Yan remained at home successfully. After some deliberation, she said to Xiu Niang who was holding the child and breastfeeding: "Third Aunt, I have something to attend to outside."
The young lady was gentle and quiet, cautious in her words, when she heard the comforting words, her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything, just nodded lightly to show that she understood.
She didn't care and secretly took some private money before leaving the White family.
As soon as I left the White House, what caught my eye was the lush green wheat shoots, which looked very pleasing. A gust of wind blew by, and the wheat shoots suddenly stirred up waves of green ripples, making me feel refreshed and joyful.
He finished surveying the fields with a few words, then withdrew his gaze and looked at other places, sizing up the surrounding terrain.
The Bai family came out and walked along a narrow country road that was just wide enough for a horse carriage. On the other side of the road were fields upon fields of wheat.
Going south from the White House, there is a small mountain called Green Bamboo Mountain because of the large bamboo forest on it. There are no more houses in the direction south of the White House, and the White House is adjacent to the new bamboo mountain, while the village's residential houses are also some distance away.
After walking a distance, he turned back and looked at the White's house in the morning light, feeling isolated, desolate and forlorn.
She turned back, a strange expression flashing across her eyes, and then quickly walked towards the direction of the village entrance.
Along the way, An Yan walked quickly with his head slightly lowered. At this time, most of the people on the road were going to work in the fields, and when they saw An Yan's figure, their faces showed a look of surprise. Some people even whispered to each other, glancing at An Yan furtively.
For these reactions, An Yan's face only showed a gentle and calm expression as he walked quickly. After leaving Green Bamboo Village, the road became quiet, and An Yan didn't see anyone. Because Green Bamboo Village is close to Hsinchu County, it only takes half an hour's journey, so An Yan went on foot.
Arrived in Hsinchu County, the streets were already bustling with activity. There were vendors selling sugar, rouge and powder, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables of all kinds, which Anwen found quite novel to behold.
The streets were lined with all sorts of small stalls, and the vendors were shouting and trying to drum up business. Anwen walked slowly, looking at the things on the stalls as she went. Occasionally, she would stop to look at something new. Although she liked it very much in her heart, she just looked a few more times. She knew that now was the most difficult time for the Bai family, and at such times, every penny was pinched, so naturally they couldn't spend money on such small pleasures.
Anwen strolled around the street for a while, feeling the ancient culture and atmosphere, then turned into a grocery store.
This grocery store is located at the end of the street, which makes it a bit out of the way. I chose this store because of its affordable prices. Therefore, the items in this store should be more reasonably priced.
When An Yan walked in, she saw a woman standing behind the counter, dressed in simple yet neat attire, counting money.
The woman heard footsteps and looked up to see a young wife in elegant clothes walking slowly into the shop.
An Yan is wearing the only piece of clothing she brought from the Tang family today, and she kept this dress thinking that it might be useful somewhere in the future. An Yan wore a purple robe, her face was clean and plain, without any makeup, her expression was warm and gentle. Just one glance, it's easy to make people feel close to her.
The woman walked quickly out of the counter and approached An Ran.
"What does this little girl need?"
Her voice was crisp and clear, consistent with her appearance. She smiled and replied, "I don't know if the boss has sand ginger, angelica, dried tangerine peel, and cloves?"
The woman heard the gentle words, slightly frowned, and then replied: "I do have Chenpi here, as for the other three, I've only heard of Angelica. The young lady can go to Renhe Hall across the street to take a look, it should be available."
The woman said as she stretched out her hand and pointed towards Renhe Hall opposite.
Anwen looked in the direction pointed by the woman and saw that there was indeed a Renhe Hall on the opposite side, which looked very quiet and didn't seem to have any patients coming.
"Then trouble boss lady to weigh a catty of dried tangerine peel, and I'll go check on the remaining three kinds at the store across the street later."
"Alright, Chenpi is three wen per catty, I'll go prepare it for my wife now."
The woman was also a straightforward person, and as soon as she finished speaking, she quickly walked into the storage room to prepare.
In just a short while, the wrapped dried tangerine peel had already fallen into An Yan's hands. After paying, An Yan walked to Ren He Tang across the street.
