The old lady still tried desperately to go in and give her beloved granddaughter a chance, but the two servants blocked her way and prevented her from moving forward even a bit.

"Old lady, do you know where this is? Do you see that plaque? That is Li Bai's authentic work. He is the most difficult person to find among the living."

A skinny person dressed in silk couldn't help asking a question, with a tone of contempt that was hard to conceal. What a joke! How many people want to go to work? Maybe one day they can meet Li Bai and get some pointers from him, which will make them successful.

"Zhaozhao, what are the words on it?"

Lan Zhaozhao had been working in the village and had never been to school. She could not recognize a few regular script characters to begin with. Now she had changed to the Slender Gold script, which had decorations and patterns on it. It looked like a painting, and she could no longer recognize it.

When everyone saw her staring at the plaque in a daze, they couldn't help laughing and pointing.

"You don't even know how to read, and you still want to come to Zui Fu Sheng."

"Isn't it? All the people coming and going here are educated people. What's the difference between being illiterate and being blind or deaf?"

Lan Zhaozhao felt extremely embarrassed. She could not read but she was also able to understand what was being said. The blatant sarcasm here made her, a child who had not yet reached marriage age, not know how to respond. Normally, everyone in the village knew each other, and she was considered a fierce person, but when she came to the city, she could not utter a word.

"Grandma, let's go."

She lowered her head and carefully tugged at the old lady's clothes. It was really embarrassing.

But the old lady obviously didn't want to give up. This was enormous wealth. Such beautiful clothes could be given away just like that. They were made of silk. How rich she was.

Lan Wangshu was standing at the back door when she heard the noisy voice of Old Lady Lan. The blue veins on her forehead couldn't help but twitch twice. She was really not quiet at all. She had to wait until now to come and cause trouble for her. Today was the day that would decide success or failure for Zui Fusheng. She lifted the curtain to cover her face and hooked her finger at Li Yanhuan.

Li Yanhuan glanced outside and quickly walked to the backyard.

"This is my grandma, you know that."

"I know, but I can't get rid of it."

"Ayan, let's talk about a deal. I really don't want to be sucked dry by grandma anymore, and I don't want to have these troubles. You can just claim that this shop is yours. It won't take too long, just wait until I reach the age of 15. In return, I will give you..."

Li Yanhuan covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes red. She knew everything about Lan Wangshu and understood how difficult it was for her.

"Lan Wangshu, I've been nice to you these days, right? Don't you still consider me a friend?"

"Of course I consider you a friend."

Lan Wangshu pulled her hand away helplessly and explained in a low voice.

"Then consider it as a favor. I don't want anything in return from you. I still want something from you for such a small favor. Who do you think I am? It's just a matter of a word. Don't be so distant."

Lan Wangshu sighed in his heart that friendship at this age really does not require any price.

She took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it over.

"Ayan, this is my future dowry to you. There is only one condition: you don't want to be my concubine."

Li Yanhuan stared at the glass square in her hand with her eyes wide open. She knew how valuable this thing was. Zui Fusheng became famous because of this, and she just gave it to her like this.

"This is too valuable, please take it back."

Li Yanhuan felt that this thin piece of paper was very hot, and immediately stuffed it into Lan Wangshu's arms.

Lan Wangshu grabbed her panicked little hand, his eyes filled with smile and tenderness.

She is a few years older than Li Yanhuan. She can see from their recent frequent interactions that Li Yanhuan is actually a good person, except that he is a little insecure and childish. She hopes that Li Yanhuan can be more free. To her, this glass casting technique is really nothing, but it can allow Li Yanhuan to settle down in this era. With the protection of the He family, her position as the mistress of the house is secure.

"Ah Yan, I will still do business with the He family in the future, but if I have to choose someone to cooperate with, I hope that person is you. Since you have chosen He Jinyu, you must hold the status of the mistress in your hands. Don't be a concubine, understand?"

Li Yanhuan was still young and Mr. He did not have a concubine. She did not understand the status of concubines in this era. When Lan Wangshu was in Dingzhenlou, he once heard two people wanting to exchange concubines without any concealment. It was obvious that this was the norm and nothing surprising.

Li Yanhuan bit her lower lip as she looked at the paper, then folded it carefully and put it in her purse.

"I will definitely become the mistress of the He family."

She sniffed and looked particularly soft. Lan Wangshu couldn't help but tap her little nose.

"Go and get rid of them now. Show your identity as the He family's cousin. If they make trouble again, I will file a complaint with Magistrate He."

"That's it? Did it work?"

Lan Wangshu smiled and nodded, with encouragement in his eyes. Others didn't know, but the old lady knew that County Magistrate He and the He family were related.

Li Yanhuan adjusted his clothes and chose the most intimidating posture, looking like a child wearing adult clothes. Lan Wangshu had to work hard to hold back his laughter.

"Old lady, do you know who I am? I am the cousin of the He family. If you have delayed our Zui Fusheng's business, I will go to Magistrate He to sue you."
