My delicate husband

When Lan An returned home, he nestled in Zhang Xiaomo's arms. He complained quietly that what happened in the county government office today made him unhappy.

"Brother Xiaomo, you don't know that everyone in the county government has learned face-changing, and I don't like it. Do you still want to take the imperial examination?"

"Does An An hope that I can pass the imperial examination?"

"I don't want it. The officialdom is too complicated. I don't like it. Today I met a scholar who was an official in the county government office. I felt that he was so miserable. He didn't have enough to eat and couldn't sleep well. We should not give up and just be happy as a small landlord."

"Okay, I'll listen to An An."

Uncle Zhang Er returned to the village, sorted out the ingredients, and immediately went to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. After a while, the bell rang, one, two, three, and then two more times. Uncle Zhang couldn't wait to share the good news.

Lan An felt a little impatient when he heard the bell. He didn't want to go to the meeting at all. He just wanted to nestle in Zhang Xiaomo's arms. They hadn't been close for a long time.

"Another emergency meeting has been held in the village, An Ge'er, let's go quickly."

Seeing that Lan An had no intention of getting up from Zhang Xiaomo's arms, Aunt Wang hurriedly urged her.

"Auntie Wang, why don't you go by yourself and tell me if you have any news? I won't go."

"Okay, you just came back from the county government office, you must be tired."

Aunt Wang agreed with a smile, put down the work in her hands, and hurried to the village entrance.

"An An, the village chief wants to talk about installing a water truck, right?"

"Brother Xiaomo is really smart, but I'm so tired now, I need you to coax me to sleep."

Before Zhang Xiaomo met Lan An, she never believed that there could be someone so simple. Lan An has always been easy to understand, with his emotions written all over his face. It seems that he met someone who made Lan An unhappy this time when he went to the county government office.

"Okay, coax An An to sleep. An An baby has worked hard. I'll read you the miscellany that I didn't finish reading last time."

"Okay, last time we mentioned Saibei, Brother Xiaomo, when you recover, let's go see the scenery of Saibei."

"Okay, let's go see the sea that An An mentioned if we have a chance."

Zhang Xiaomo picked up the book and read gently. Lan An lay on the bed, slowly relaxed his nerves, and slowly fell asleep under Zhang Xiaomo's gentle and low voice. Seeing Lan An sleeping soundly, Zhang Xiaomo read a book beside him. His favorite book in the past was not as attractive as the person on the bed. Zhang Xiaomo simply put the book aside and concentrated on looking at Lan An's sleeping face.

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, the village chief announced that the county government would send people to the village to install a water truck tomorrow. The villagers were very happy to hear the news. The village chief also took the opportunity to make some requests to the villagers. The villagers did not say much and actively cooperated with Uncle Zhang.

Lan'an was woken up by the noise. When he woke up, he was the only one in the room. He heard the screams of a strange woman in the yard and someone calling his name. Lan'an frowned impatiently, put on his clothes, got up and went out.

"An An, are you awake?"

"What's going on? Did Brother Guo get into a fight again?"

Zhang Xiaomo just glared at Guo Ge'er, walked to Lan An, held him in his arms, unwilling to speak, and his eyes were full of grievance when he looked at Lan An.

"An An, you don't care about me."

Lan An smiled and looked at Aunt Wang who was still trying to mediate. Then he saw a woman dressed like a matchmaker and had some guesses in his mind.

"Brother Guo, it's alright."

"Anger, she wants to introduce a marriage partner to my brother, but you are not in a hurry at all, huh."

Although Guo Ge'er was angry, he still chose to listen to An Ge'er and stopped, but he still stared at the matchmaker hatefully.

Lan An looked at the nail marks on the matchmaker's face. He knew without a doubt that they were just scraped by Guo Ge'er. It seemed that he would have to spend some money again, but the thing he had the most right now was money.

"Okay, tell me what's going on. No one in my family wants to propose marriage."

Lan An was already woken up and looked unhappy. He was annoyed at the thought that someone was thinking about Zhang Xiaomo. If he hadn't been held in Zhang Xiaomo's arms, he wouldn't be so stable now.

Lan Euan looked coldly at the matchmaker in the yard, his expression becoming even colder. If he hadn't considered his family's reputation, he would have really thought about where to bury this person in the future.

The person who came was Wang, the village's famous matchmaker. She was about forty years old, short and plump, with a sly smile on her face. Her small eyes seemed to be able to see into people's minds.

This was also the first time that Matchmaker Wang met An Ge'er. She had heard a lot about this boy's deeds and knew that he was famous for his fierceness. However, most people in Lianhua Village respected matchmakers and wanted to find a good marriage for their children.

She didn't expect that this family would be so disrespectful to her, and An Ge'er's aura was really scary. But when she thought of the one or two taels of silver promised by the Sun family, she was really tempted. She said that even if she arranged marriages with several families, she might not be able to earn one or two taels of silver. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth.

"Oh, this is Angelababy, you're as pretty as a flower! I'm just as good looking as you. I came here today to tell you something great: you're going to have a sister soon."

"Oh, I don't think it's a good thing. Besides, my parents are dead, and I'm the only one left in my family."

Lan An's tone was a bit harsh, and Zhang Xiaomo quickly kissed Lan An's hair. He knew that the person in front of him was very angry.

Matchmaker Wang also felt a lot of pressure, but she still went on with the story.

"Oh, I've been asked to come and propose marriage to your Mr. Mo. The girl is from the neighboring village. She's 16 years old, very pretty, gentle and kind, smart, capable, and good at bearing children. She and your Zhang Xiaomo are a perfect match!"

"That girl is not someone else. She is the cousin of your brother-in-law. She knows everything about him. This is a close relationship. Your Zhang Xiaomo is not in good health, and the girl is willing to take good care of him. Besides, your brother has difficulty in giving birth. If she has a child in the future, she will call you mother and raise it under your name. The girl said she is willing to be a concubine. She is a sensible person."

With every extra word Wang the matchmaker said, Lan An's face darkened. Guo Ge'er also admired this matchmaker. She was very capable of hitting An Ge'er's sore spot with every word she said. Guo Ge'er was no longer angry, but rather felt a little gloating.

"That's really sensible. This is the first time I've seen someone act so confidently as to be the third. Are you done? Wait a minute, I'll go get something, you can talk slowly. Brother Guo, make them some tea, don't say we're not hospitable enough."

Lan An gestured for Zhang Xiaomo to let him go, then went to the makeshift kitchen and fetched a kitchen knife, playing with it. He then found a deserted spot and summoned a perfect-hitting arrow, casually holding it in his hand. (Personal note: This arrow is always invisible; it costs ten taels of silver to make it visible.)

"Brother Guo, go get another chair and treat us well."

Zhang Xiaomo and Guo Ge'er also knew that Lan An could hunt, but this was the first time they saw Lan An holding a bow and arrow. Guo Ge'er just thought An Ge'er was so handsome. Aunt Wang next to him was also shocked, not to mention Wang the matchmaker, who was also sweating profusely, not knowing whether to sit or stand, and just wanted to leave quickly.

"Anger, well, I have something to do at home. I'll talk about Mo Hanzi another day."

Matchmaker Wang put down the quilt and left quickly. Lan An shot the cup with an arrow and threw the kitchen knife in his hand, stabbing it directly into the gate of the courtyard. Matchmaker Wang was so scared that her legs went weak and she knelt down.

"You know I have a fiery temper. I've said before that if anyone comes to my house to propose marriage to my man, I'll go to her house and beat her up. You're really brave enough to come to my house to propose marriage. Do you really think this gate is so easy to enter?"

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, but she still helped matchmaker Wang up. She was so scared that she wet her pants.

Everyone was also surprised by Lan'an's archery skills, and Guo Ge'er was also glad that he did not make Ang'er angry.

Zhang Xiaomo quickly hugged Lan An in his arms and kissed him on the cheek. He knew that Lan An was a little abnormal because of him. Others might be afraid of Lan An, but Zhang Xiaomo only felt heartbroken.

"An An, don't be angry, be good, put down the arrow. I will only have you in this life, I will not marry anyone else, I will be with you forever, just the two of us for a lifetime."

Lan Euan looked at Zhang Xiaomo with scarlet eyes, feeling a little aggrieved.

"Zhang Xiaomo, she bullied me."

"Well, it's all her fault for bullying An An."

Zhang Xiaomo kissed the scarlet corners of Lan An's eyes. No one in the yard dared to breathe. Lan An knew that he had lost control. He got angry when he thought that others were thinking about Zhang Xiaomo and wanted to have children with her. When he thought that Zhang Xiaomo would be taken away by someone else, he wanted to kill those who took his cat away. He couldn't control himself.

"An An, don't be angry, I only love you, I will always be here."

Zhang Xiaomo slowly tried to take the arrow from Lan An's hand. Well, he couldn't lift it. It seemed very light in Lan An's hand, but Zhang Xiaomo felt it was a thousand pounds heavy.

Lan An looked at Zhang Xiaomo, put the bow and arrow in his hand on the ground, and obediently let Zhang Xiaomo hold him with a well-behaved look on his face.

Matchmaker Wang didn't dare to say a word now. One tael of silver was a lot, but it also required a life.

"Brother Xiaomo, she said I can't have children."

Lan Euan suddenly said this, and Zhang Xiaomo laughed softly.

"An An, you were so young, I couldn't bear to touch you. Giving birth is a life-threatening experience for a woman, not to mention my brother. How could I bear to let you suffer like this? I don't plan to have children in the future. An An, you are enough for me."

The people in the yard were also shocked when they heard Zhang Xiaomo say this. There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. No matter how much you like someone, you cannot ignore your children.

Guo Ge'er looked at the two people hugging each other over there and felt very envious. He always thought that his brother was too cold and that it was always An Ge'er who took the initiative. Now he realized that his brother also loved An Ge'er, and they really loved each other.

Lan An's emotions gradually stabilized. He came out of Zhang Xiaomo's arms, looked at Wang the matchmaker coldly, and spoke bluntly.

"Who asked you to come here?"

"Your sister's mother-in-law."

"Oh, all right, go ahead. I'll give you two taels of silver. Go and help my sister's father-in-law find a husband. If it works out, I'll give you three taels of silver. I have a bad temper and I'll say things I shouldn't say. You have to understand that. Of course, I have to do what I ask of you."

Matchmaker Wang stood up tremblingly, not daring to accept Lan An's money. She just promised to do a good job. Lan An just took a look, and Matchmaker Wang still took the money and crawled away.

After all, this matter had become quite a big deal, and Lan An did not want to hide it. He just looked at the people watching the excitement and spoke coldly.

"Of course, I welcome anyone who wants to introduce a partner to my husband in the future, as long as you feel you have the ability to leave after entering the courtyard."

Everyone in the village was immersed in the joy of repairing the waterwheel and was discussing matters related to the waterwheel. Although many villagers knew what happened in Lan An's family, everyone was a little afraid of Lan An and did not dare to spread the news. They just told the family not to think about attacking Zhang Xiaomo again, and it would be best to avoid their family in the future and try not to provoke them.

"Ang'er, listen to your aunt's advice and control your temper in the future."

"Don't worry, Aunt Wang. I'll be fine as long as no one bothers me."

"Anger, what should we do with this knife?"

"Leave it like this. Go find Brother Xu and ask him to buy two more. These two aren't fast enough."

Guo Geer was also a little scared when he heard Lan Euan say this, and could only look at his brother for help.

"An An, little ancestor, let's take out the kitchen knife. If you want to buy a new one, we'll buy a new one, okay?"

"Okay then, let's listen to Brother Xiaomo."

Guo Ge'er went to Aunt Wang's house with her. He was frightened by Lan Euan today and his legs went weak when he saw him. He decided to go find Xiao Hui to play and comfort his wounded heart.

"Brother Xiaomo, Doctor Zhu will come to check your pulse again the day after tomorrow. If there are no unexpected problems, treatment will begin."

"Okay, An An will accompany me for treatment."

"Don't worry, Zhang Xiaomo, I will always be by your side, always and forever."
