Lan Wangshu looked at the decent-looking person in front of him and felt so disgusted. Who could have thought that Cang Wenyuan's true face was like this? It was really hard for him to pretend to be so old-fashioned before.
In every day that followed, Cang Wenyuan would always look for Lan Wangshu to make trouble when no one was around.
Later, it snowed in Cangnan Village. Lan Wangshu and Zhao Boping drank hot water beside the wheat field, looking at the wheat that represented hope.
Lai Qian'er also found it very interesting and couldn't help but start naming the dishes in her mind.
Lan Wangshu held the quilt in his hands, carefully warming his hands, and squinted his eyes, looking at the fields.
After all, food is the most important thing for people. If she can succeed in early spring next year, she can quickly expand her noodle business. Just thinking about it will make her life more promising.
"Uncle Zhao, do you think we can succeed?"
Zhao Boping opened his small wine flask and took a big sip of liquor. The hot heat flowed directly from his lips and teeth to his lungs, and his whole body warmed up.
He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looking happy, with confidence in his eyes.
"Don't worry, giving me this thing is halfway to success. With the current growth rate, as long as the climate is not abnormal, it will be almost there."
"Really? Then congratulations in advance to Uncle Zhao for becoming famous."
Zhao Boping laughed. He, a farmer, couldn't become famous. He didn't care about that. He just wanted to be the best farmer in Da Zhao so that everyone would have food to eat in the future, and they wouldn't be afraid even if there was a snowstorm.
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Lan Wangshu. The little girl seemed to have grown up a lot in half a year. She used to always keep her head down and frown, which was annoying to look at.
Now it is completely different. Her eyebrows are relaxed, there is a smile on the corners of her lips, and her eyes are curved when she is happy. She is very cute.
"You will be a 15-year-old next year."
"Yes."
"You are already a grown-up girl, do you have any ideas about marriage?"
"Not urgent."
Lan Wangshu was a little scared. Why were they urging her to get married when she was only fifteen? It was not easy for young girls in this era. She was still a child, and he had to consider her lifelong affairs.
That's not right. There's no need to think about it. It's just the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. It's not so bad in the village. According to the rules, the first thing a rich family does when they meet is to lift the veil. I'm scared just thinking about it.
"You, kid, don't be polite. Your aunt is willing to take care of this matter. Your parents are not around, and they can't just watch such a good child like you not find a husband."
Lan Wangshu knew that he meant well, so she accepted his kindness and didn't need anything else.
Within the limitations of the times, she had no way to escape on her own and could only find an excuse to get away with it.
"At least we have to wait until Luo Chen grows up before considering it. I will definitely trouble you then."
Zhao Boping nodded with satisfaction. This was right. For a woman, getting married was necessary. Having a child meant having a home and having someone to rely on in the future.
Someone as capable as Lan Wangshu will be accepted by someone even if there are many younger brothers in the family. When there is any work to do at home, these young men will become strong men when they grow up.
The girl looked outside quietly, occasionally adjusting the pile of wood for heating to make the fire burn more vigorously. She stared at the wood in a daze.
Just half a year was not enough for her to bow to the times. Even if she had to go with the flow like Wang Erniu to protect herself, she would choose to have someone marry into her family rather than pin her fate on an unknown future husband.
She doesn't understand the big principles, she only knows the simplest truth: why should she entrust her future to a stranger who has no relationship with her? This is simply ridiculous.
After a while, Cang Wenyuan came over with a bowl of rice. When he saw Lan Wangshu, he raised a meaningful smile.
"Why are you here today? Is there really nothing going on between you and Mo Yici?"
Lan Wangshu originally wanted to avoid it. Whenever she met Cang Wenyuan these days, she would say this sentence again. However, today she wanted Zhao Boping to give up the idea of introducing a man to her. Mo Yici's identity could still be used.
"I have said it many times. He is Wang Yan's master. We are in a business relationship together."
Lan Wangshu rolled her eyes at him indifferently. Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, Cang Wenyuan suddenly felt that she was no longer interesting.
I finally found some fun in being a brother, but today I was brought back to my original state.
"Although this boy is a reckless man, illiterate, and his parents are gone, he has military merits and looks very handsome. Many young ladies in Kyoto like him. With the support of the Shogun's Mansion, he has a promising future. Are you sure you don't have any ideas?"
"I am just a peasant girl. My current status can only allow me to be a concubine of a noble family. This is impossible. Even if it is not for my own sake, it is for the sake of my brothers. The daughter of the Lan family will never be a concubine."
"Tsk, I don't think so. Didn't Lan Zhaozhao just become a concubine?"
Cang Wenyuan stopped talking unconsciously. His face looked a little strange, as if there had been no news from Lan Zhaozhao for a long time.
