The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Shen Lan's expression changed, she felt a little embarrassed, but she still smiled:

"We will definitely go back this time. Our whole family will go back. That's our hometown."

Su Wanwan couldn't help but admire Shen Lan's qualities. She could remain calm even when she had no face.

However, the interaction between the two made Bai Shao see the trick, and he secretly felt that he had done something bad.

It seems like the two families don't have a good relationship.

My cousin hasn't returned to the village for several years. This is not a bad relationship, it's the same as breaking off the friendship.

Pingyang Town is not far from the village, and even an outsider like him can't help but run to the village often.

However, he had heard of the family of Shen Yuan's second uncle, and had also met his second uncle and Shen Hua in the village. They both looked nice.

It seems that he did not marry a virtuous wife, and he failed to educate his daughter well. I'm afraid that the mother and daughter look down on country people, so they haven't been back for several years.

Bai Shao felt relieved. Although he was upset that he had ruined the matter, there was nothing he could do since he had already invited everyone in.

But he finally understood what Brother Yuan's look just now meant, which was that he couldn't get a free meal.

Well, not only can’t the bill be waived, you have to charge more.

No, no, it’s not fair to charge more money, it will give you a bad reputation if it gets out.

We should coax them to eat more and spend more money.

The mother and daughter entered the hot pot restaurant and were shown to a nice private room. Looking at the decoration inside, Shen Lan felt that her life was complete.

The waiter came over enthusiastically and asked them to order.

Feng Chunyun rolled his eyes. This boss was so familiar with Shen Yuan, he might ask for a free meal. He would have to eat more today.

Shen Lan looked around, even leaning against the window to look around, but she didn't see any sign of Mr. Bai, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Under the introduction and persuasion of the waiter, Feng Chunyun ordered many dishes, and even ordered the expensive wide noodles which were said to be made of sweet potatoes to try.

Shen Lan didn't pay any attention until all the dishes were served. She was shocked to see the rows of dishes, some of which she had never seen before.

"Mom, why did you order so much? Can we finish it just the two of us?"

Feng Chunyun saw that the waiter had already left, so he whispered:

"What do you know? Didn't you see that Shen Yuan is so familiar with the boss? The boss seems to be trying to curry favor with Shen Yuan. He was also so nice to us. He even said that someone made a reservation but didn't show up. These were just polite remarks."

After all, the older you are, the wiser you are. Feng Chunyun has already seen the relationship clearly.

Mrs. Bai is trying to curry favor with Shen Yuan. This is to give face to Shen Yuan. They are Shen Yuan's relatives, so he has to give them face.

"Mom, what you said is true. The Bai family is very flattering to them. The son of the Third Uncle is really promising. And Su Wanwan, look, he has such a noble lady as a friend."

Shen Lan's tone was full of envy.

Su Wanwan is really lucky. She married into the Shen family and is now a lady.

"What Su Wanwan? From now on, you have to call her Third Sister-in-law. She is still the county lady. You have to be respectful."

Feng Chunyun reminded her that now that she had such a promising nephew and niece-in-law, she was proud of herself. Why was she so pessimistic in the past?

Relatives like this should be kept close.

My daughter is right about one thing. It’s the New Year and I need to go back and walk around.

"What is a county princess? It's just a title. We have never heard of a county princess before. We have only heard of princesses and county princesses. If it weren't for my third brother, she probably wouldn't be so glorious."

Shen Lan didn't quite take it seriously. This county lord had never heard of it before.

Not a princess.

In the past, princesses of the Great Xia Dynasty also had to marry foreign princes, and some were even exiled.

Because most of the princesses of the previous emperor had a bad end, the people cannot say that they do not take the princesses seriously. They can only say that they are indifferent, which is really not relevant.

Not to mention that she was a county lord that no one had ever heard of and had no rank.

"She is also a county lady, and she is paid by the imperial court. She is probably the first one in the Great Xia Dynasty to receive such a salary. You should be careful with your words. Regardless of her status as a county lady, we cannot offend her just because she is Shen Yuan's wife now."

Feng Chunyun was not as short-sighted as her daughter. She scolded her and Shen Lan immediately sat down in displeasure.

The bottom of the pot began to boil, and Shen Lan looked at the dishes on the side.

"Mom, we need to use our money to buy other things. I heard they are very expensive here."

She and her mother don't have much pocket money now. Every month, their father gives them living expenses, and they have to spend a little on weekdays occasionally, so they can't save much.

"Hey, don't you understand? That Bai Dongjia clings to Shen Yuan. I am Shen Yuan's second aunt, and you are his cousin. Look at these wide noodles and bean curd sticks. They are all from Shen Yuan. Will he still ask us for money?"

Feng Chunyun fried the meat and put it in the pot to boil.

Although I haven't eaten it, I have heard of it. I heard that it is eaten while being cooked, and the guy just explained it clearly.

Shen Lan agreed with this. Smelling the fragrance, she no longer cared about whether she had enough money or not. She just wanted to eat her fill first.

The mother and daughter ate it and found that what was said outside was exactly the same. This way of eating and this taste were simply delicious.

Especially when dipped in sesame sauce. I don’t know what is added to the sesame sauce, but it tastes much better than the freshly ground one. Dip the meat and vegetables in the sauce, and it’s so delicious that it makes your tongue fall off in one bite.

They originally said they couldn’t finish the meal, but in the end the mother and daughter didn’t want to stop even when they were full, and they finished all the dishes.

It was so heavy that the two of them could hardly stand up.

After finishing the meal, the waiter naturally took them to pay the bill. When they saw the bill, the mother and daughter were dumbfounded.

Three taels of silver!

Or because he was an acquaintance, the amount was cut off!

What family needs three taels of silver for a meal?

Three taels of silver can buy so many chickens. Wouldn’t it be nice to stew chicken every day?

Shen Lan frowned and looked at her mother.

What a coincidence, they only brought three taels of silver with them when they went out this time!

This money is given by Dad to them to buy daily necessities!

I thought that two taels of silver would be the maximum they could spend to buy those things, and they could still have one tael of silver left over to save. Her mother also said that she could give her a few cents of the extra money.

Feng Chunyun also looked embarrassed. He had only three taels of silver in his pocket and was reluctant to take it out.

When her grandfather was still alive, the Feng family's grain and oil shop had good business, but it was never seen that the family spent three taels of silver on a meal.

I'm afraid it would take a year to save these three taels of silver in the countryside.

"Boss, I know your boss. He invited us in. Do you think this can be...more favorable?"

Feng Chunyun is also a man of status, but he is too embarrassed to offer a free bill, so he can only see if he can pay less.

Even if they were given three taels of silver, what would they use to buy things? They would be scolded to death by the old man when they returned.

Now that her mother's family is in poverty, she has to rely on the Shen family, and she doesn't dare to go against the old man.

Otherwise, based on his previous status, he would have spent it, not to mention three taels, even if it was ten taels, and the old man wouldn't dare to say a word when he returned.
