C6

Early in the morning, Qiao Niang cleaned up the little girl. She was wearing a small flowery coat that didn't look old, and her hair was tied into a bun. She looked extremely adorable.

"Mom, I can walk by myself." The girl blushed and felt a little uncomfortable being hugged by Qiao Niang. In her entire life, Qiao Niang was the first person besides her own parents who carried her. It was one thing if she was at home, but there were so many people outside who had seen her.

"Little girl, be good. Mom is not tired." Qiao Niang gently rubbed the little girl's head, tears welling up in her eyes. She already knew that the little girl was the most obedient and doting person. She had become so sensible at such a young age.

"Eh …" The little girl's face was full of black lines, but she still chose to remain silent. She couldn't imagine Qiao Niang breaking down if she knew her true thoughts.

"Qiao Niang, where are you going?"

"Are you going to town? Is Auntie going too?"

"Yes!" "I went to the town to buy some meat. Recently, I've been busy at home, so I can't treat people to farming without food!"

"Oh, if that's the case, then I'll take the little girl and walk slowly. If Auntie is in a hurry, then let's go."

"It's fine, it's fine. It's not like I didn't have to wait for that long. I heard that your family has been separated?" Is that true? "

Along the way, they met a few people who were travelling to the town. Everyone seemed to be very curious about the branch family and kept asking. Qiao Niang answered all questions gently, but left out the discordant parts. The little girl was so drowsy from listening to him, so she simply laid on Qiao Niang's shoulder and went on a date with him …

"Little girl, wake up."

"Ugh!"

As she was sleeping soundly, she woke up in a daze. The little girl rubbed her hazy eyes as she looked at Qiao Niang with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, she realized that there seemed to be more people around her.

"Eh? This, this... Mother, are we in town yet? "

In an instant, she was no longer sleepy. Her eyes were wide open as she curiously looked around.

Oh, she was a lot more serious. Besides, the shops all around seemed to be much better than she imagined. From time to time, there would be people calling out for the market. The little girl nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Yeah, we're in town. What did the girl want to eat? Mother should buy a big meat bun for the little girl! " Qiao Niang smiled and nodded. She carried the little girl towards a stall that sold buns. There were quite a few children surrounding the stall. It seemed like they were all here with an adult.

"Mom, I-I'm not hungry." The smell was so strange, it was not fragrant at all. Furthermore, the skin was not white, but grey. Looking at it, it seemed like it had not been cleaned up yet. The little girl could not help but frown.

"It's alright, little girl, hurry up and eat. It's very delicious!"

"Oh …" "Alright …" Unable to bear Qiao Niang's earnest gaze, the little girl finally had to compromise.

"Is it delicious?" Qiao Niang looked at the little girl with a smile, gently stroking her hair as her eyes filled with love.

The girl took a bite out of it and nodded heavily, "Delicious!"

Oh, tears, tears... It was really too unpalatable. This steamed bun was dry and hard, and there was a greasy taste to it. There was not the slightest bit of fragrance in it, and it was even worse than the grains and snacks they ate at home.

However, looking at Qiao Niang's smiling face, the little girl couldn't bear to insult her. Although it was very unpalatable, the most unpalatable steamed bun she had ever eaten, she still ate it with a blissful expression on her face.

"Little girl, be good. In the future, when you have money, mother will buy buns for you!"

Qiao Niang felt a bit of heartache as she watched the little girl wolf down her food. It was all her fault. This was the first time she ate buns ever since she was born.

"Yes, yes!"

Eat every day? Woo woo … * It would be better to just let me die, the pain in her heart … However, he didn't dare let Qiao Niang see through him, so he nodded vigorously with a pure expression on his face.

Gazing at the sky!

The little girl silently swore that she must think of a way to let her mother experience what a true meat bun was!

However, the business of this bun house was quite good. There had been people buying it all the time. It was really a wonder if these people sensed that something was wrong.

The little girl pouted in disdain. When she saw the dirty boss of the bun house, he even grabbed her butt just now … The girl felt her stomach churning …

"Eh, Mother, what's over there?" Suddenly, the little girl found a very special shop in the middle of the messy grocery store. The shop's surroundings were very clean, and the waiter was even more clean and tidy than the average person. The whole store was brightly lit up, with rows and rows of fine porcelain jars on the neat shelves.

In any case, the whole store felt out of place in this bustling town … Like, like, a pearl in a pile of sand...

"That's a tea shop. It's expensive, ordinary people can't afford it."

Qiao Niang bent down to pick up the girl, her face full of seriousness. At the same time, she did not forget to educate her. Little girl, don't cause trouble! "

She had only seen that kind of tea once and it was from a friend that her father-in-law had come to visit her. He had said that it was one tael of gold and one tael of tea.

"Oh, oh!" The little girl casually nodded her head. Her eyes were staring at the tea jars on the shelf. Her heart was already blooming with happiness.

Tsk tsk, it seems that the heavens never forsake us …

"Sigh!" She covered her face and sat on the doorstep. She sighed as her palm-sized face tightly knitted together.

Sigh! It's really not easy to get rich. I thought there would be no end to it. But the facts proved that his dream was very full, and the reality was very solid!

When she came back from town, she asked Qiao Niang indirectly if she could grow her own tea leaves. Unexpectedly, Qiao Niang's face was full of fear. She covered her mouth and warned her in a low voice that she mustn't think about such outrageous things.

It turned out that the tea leaves were not made by ordinary commoners. They belonged to the country and had special departments responsible for managing the tea leaves. Without permission, one could go to jail and, at the very least, exterminate the nine races.

Isn't it just ordering tea? It's not that serious! The little girl initially didn't believe him, but in the past few days, she had found a chance to casually ask and learn a lot of things from her father-in-law.

So this country was called the West Phoenix Country. The tea leaves were strictly controlled and at the same time, they were extremely lucrative. Other than a few great imperial merchants, no one could sell them.

"Sigh!"

Sighing heavily, the little girl's heart was filled with endless knots. It was fortunate that he had a complete set of methods for brewing tea in his head. Unfortunately, not only could he not use it, he might even lose his life.

"Oh my girl, why are you sitting here? "Why don't you go play with Huan Er and the girls?"

Yang Wenxian put down his cigarette and patted the girl's head with a smile. It was rare for him to be in a good mood as he sat beside her in the sun.

Although they separated, the family still lived together, so there was less trouble for everyone to eat at home. Yang Wenxian was in a good mood because of the peace in his ears.

"I don't want to play." With a bitter smile, the girl shook her head pitifully.

Sigh, she had a bellyful of ideas, but none of them could be implemented. She couldn't earn even a single copper coin, so how could she feel disappointed in her heart? How could she still have the mood to play?

"Aiyo, why are you worrying about this when you're talking to your father-in-law? Is he hungry? "

Yang Wenxian was not only in a good mood, but he was also smiling and teasing her. Even though he was only in his forties and could still be considered to be in his prime in the modern world, in this era, he had long since bent over from the pressure of life. For the sake of a large family's life, he would often travel around the Ma Clan. It was rare for him to have such a natural joy.

"I'm not hungry!" The little girl shook her head with a bitter face. Ever since they split up, Qiao Niang and her days had been much better. In addition to Qiao Niang's diligent work, although she didn't distribute much food, she wasn't in danger of starving again.

"What is the girl worrying about?"

Wasn't he hungry? What was going on? Yang Wenxian was curious.

"Eunuch, how can I earn silver?"

"Earning silver?" Yang Wenxian's chin almost fell off as he stared at the girl with a serious expression. He didn't know why he kept having the feeling that there was something wrong with the girl. Staring at her for a long time without seeing anything, Yang Wenxian scratched his head as he did not understand why this little girl, who was not even taller than his knee, would think this way.

"The steamed buns in the town are so delicious. I need money to buy them." Crap! Had he aroused his suspicions? The girl's heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked at Yang Wenxian with an innocent face. It was as if the words she said earlier were child's talk. She didn't forget to lick her fingers.

"Greedy girl!" After a long while, Yang Wenxian smiled and tapped her forehead, feeling relieved at the same time. Oh, so he said that I was overthinking it. It seems like I was just a little kid that was greedy for food.

"It's delicious!" The little girl was not annoyed even after being hit on the forehead. She had an embarrassed smile on her face as she licked her little finger. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous. He had almost been found out.

"En, delicious, delicious!" "Young master should bring the little girl to the town to buy meat buns!" Yang Wenxian was away from home all year round, so it was rare for his three granddaughters to get close to him. It was one thing for there to be two girls from the Yang Family's elder and elder. He didn't like her in the first place, but this girl was related to Old Third so he somewhat pitied her, but he had never been this close to her before.

It was rare for this little girl to be so close to him. Yang Wenxian was also in a good mood. He picked up the girl and carried her on his back as he wandered out the door.

"Eunuch, where are you going? Mother, Mother will be worried! " Eh? What … what was going on? Why did he leave just like that? Seeing that she was about to leave the house, the little girl started to get anxious. Wasn't this jumping a bit too fast?

"Dad, where are you going?"

Cui Lan was in the kitchen cooking early in the morning. The fire couldn't burn for a long time and she was so angry that she smashed things. Suddenly, she heard the girl's voice and immediately ran out.

"A friend in town." Tsuilan was known as Madam Annliang. Yang Wenxian looked at her, whose face was covered with the ashes from the pot, and his face looked a bit unsightly.

"Town? I'll go, I'll go too! Dad, wait for me, I'll go too! " Tsuilan's eyes were bright as she jumped three feet into the air. She casually threw down the blowpipe, turned around, and drilled into the room to change her clothes.

"Halt!" This was truly outrageous. Yang Wenxian's expression darkened slightly as he shouted in a low voice: "Young lady, why are you running around? You should stay home and cook!"

This Tsuilan was also 15 or 16 years old. Because she was the youngest child, everyone was used to her. He couldn't tell from the time he was with his family. Without his sister-in-law around, he couldn't even make breakfast in a few days. It was truly outrageous.
