The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

Come to think of it, Lan Wangshu couldn't remember why she trusted Chen Yanshu so much. This was a judgment she made subconsciously, but it didn't matter. If she could rationalize modern things and use her brain more, she would be able to be reused by the emperor in her lifetime.

The two of them walked back slowly, and Li Yanhuan took off his cloak and returned it to her.

"Thank you for today. When will Zui Fu Sheng open for business?"

"I won't open before the New Year. Let's talk about it after the New Year. By the way, if you have time, you can come to Cangnan Village to visit me. I'll make you something delicious."

Li Yanhuan readily agreed and took out a ring-shaped jade pendant from his sleeve.

"This is a New Year's gift for you. I have one too."

Lan Wangshu accepted it without hesitation, thinking to himself that he might as well buy a diamond necklace for Li Yanhuan. Moissanite is pretty good, and the fire is even better. Forget it, just buy a set, otherwise it would look stingy.

"Okay, I'll accept it. Next time you come over, I'll prepare a return gift for you."

Li Yanhuan's eyes smiled into crescents, and he left Zui Fusheng in a good mood. In the evening, Lan Wangshu took inventory of the things in the warehouse and planned to hand over the remaining supplies to the government. If the refugees did not need them, they could give them to the beggars in the City God Temple.

Under the dim light, she was recording and organizing everything bit by bit, when suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of her.

Lan Wangshu looked up with some confusion. It was Chen Yanshu. Her pupils shrank and she was startled.

She quickly put away the brush and lowered her eyes. Chen Yanshu wouldn't notice that the candle in the lampshade was different. This was the candle-shaped lamp she bought from the system.

"Why are you here?"

"Nothing much. I heard some stories while drinking tea today."

Lan Wangshu was confused. After thinking carefully, she realized that she had not done anything out of line and she was a law-abiding citizen.

"Please make it clear."

"I heard you are well versed in the law."

Chen Yanshu had a smile in his eyes as he slowly turned the ring.

"Not really. I just read a little."

"You are very different from others. I never thought you grew up in a small village."

The muscles on Lan Wangshu's back tightened. Ah, she hated talking to the emperor. Why were there so many traps?

"You're kidding. I'm a village girl who was born and raised here. But my grandfather, the village chief, is a scholar. He is fair and prestigious. I've been taught by him since I was a child. The whole village has a good atmosphere. Anyone who wants to study can learn a few characters, and reading the law is no problem."

Her gaze drifted away, her eyes full of admiration and smile, and she attributed all the credit to the village chief.

"I think you are a rare person. Others are not as smart as you."

Lan Wangshu gave a bitter smile and began to think badly in his heart, why didn't he let go? How long were he going to keep testing him?

"That's because I lost my parents when I was young, and was raised by the village chief grandfather. This is unfortunate, but also fortunate."

She blinked her eyes, with more nostalgia and relief in them.

Chen Yanshu nodded without saying anything, watching her busy work.

"Are you taking inventory?"

"No, this is for the government. If the disaster victims can't use it, we'll give it to the residents of the City God Temple. This is a good deed done by the guests together. There's no need to keep it. Just use it when you can."

"It's good that you cherish your reputation like this."

Lan Wangshu looked up, somewhat incredulous, and Chen Yanshu just smiled faintly.

"The disaster victims have been resettled almost completely. I'm leaving today. You must grow up well, Lan Wangshu."

She looked at the tall, handsome man in front of her with a hint of maturity, and could only smile and say yes. What was that kind look in his eyes?

Looking at Chen Yanshu's back as he left, she gently held onto the table and slumped down in the chair.

She closed her eyes and moved panickily. Even if she thought about the CPU burning out, she couldn't figure out what Chen Yanshu was trying to do. Did he have to bring her into the palace?

Lan Wangshu now understood that all these fame points were not gained in vain. They were instructed by Chen Yanshu. What did he want to do? Was it to create momentum for her to enter the palace?

She couldn't help but have wild thoughts. What kind of situation required building up momentum? Wouldn't it be a high-ranking concubine? Her scalp tingled just thinking about it.

Add to that the words Chen Yanshu said before he left, family members, who would understand? What’s the difference between that and oral instructions?

It would be better to just tell her directly that she is not allowed to get married.

Lan Wangshu thought about it and thought that by early summer next year, she would be of age. Hopefully, she could hold on until then and be registered as a woman. Maybe then everything would be fine. The emperor would never break the law for a woman.

"Sister, why do you look so ugly?"

Lan Luochen was very worried when he saw that she didn't come back for a long time. He felt very distressed when he saw Lan Wangshu in a trance.

"Are you going to take the county exam next year?"
