Chapter 86: Being Missed by Someone

  A long and tedious meal, Wang Zihan couldn't help but think of the lively scene at Chen's family dinner table.

  But seeing the serious face of his grandmother sitting in the main seat, he could only softly sigh.

  Finally, the old lady finished eating and elegantly took a handkerchief from her maid's hand to wipe the corners of her mouth. She said, "Alright, we've all finished eating, let's go back now, Han'er, don't forget what Grandma told you."

  After saying it lightly, she was supported by her maid and left.

  Wang Zihan watched as his grandmother walked away before reluctantly pushing open the stool and getting up to head towards his own room.

  Madam Wang looked at her son's dejected back with a pang in her heart, then glanced at her obedient daughter by her side and sighed. She said to Old Master Wang, "Sir, you take Ying'er back first, I'll go see Han'er."

  She hastily followed him without waiting for Wang Lao Ye's response.

  Seeing her son in front of her, Mrs. Wang called out: "Han'er."

  Deep in thought about his own affairs, Wang Ziheng didn't even hear his mother calling him.

  Mrs. Wang saw this and had to quicken her pace to keep up with Wang Ziheng's footsteps, reminding him, "Heng?"

  This cry just woke up Wang Zihan, who was wandering outside his soul. He saw Wang Zihan woodenly turning his body and asking doubtfully when he saw that it was his own mother: "Mother, how did you follow me?"

  Madam Wang looked at her son's dazed appearance and pulled him to the pavilion beside them.

  Facing her son's puzzled eyes, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Han'er, you're so concerned about the Chen family. Is there something special that you haven't told Mom?"

  Upon hearing this, Prince Wang Han was shocked and quickly lifted his head, repeatedly saying, "No, Mother, you're overthinking."

  Watching her son suddenly become flustered, Mrs. Wang smiled. "Alright, no one knows a child better than their mother, I gave birth to you, don't I know what you're thinking?"

  Wang Zihan secretly took a glance at her mother and remained silent.

  Madam Wang continued in a gentle tone, "I know what you're thinking, but the Chen family is after all of low status. Your grandmother won't agree to it, if..."

  Knowing what his mother was going to say, Wang Zihan hastily interrupted. "Mother, I don't want to wrong her, and besides, this lifetime I only want to marry her!"

  Upon hearing this, Lady Wang looked at him with a mixture of comfort and concern, saying, "My son has grown up. Since you've made up your mind, I don't have any objections as his mother. The Chen family's daughter is not bad, but how to convince your grandmother will depend on you."

  The prince nodded and said firmly: "Mother, I know, I will think of a way."

  It's rare to see her son so persistent. Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "However, Han'er, I saw that big girl today, she seems still young?"

  For a moment, Wang Zihan's face showed a rare blush, and he stuttered: "Mother, I can wait."

  Listen to this. Madame Wang patted her son's shoulder and walked out of the pavilion.

  Prince Wang Han was left standing in place with a bewildered expression on his face. His mother, what does this mean?

  Time flies, and Chen's pickled egg shop has been open for a while now.

  As expected, except for the first two days of booming business, the number of customers gradually decreased on the third and fourth days, and the daily sales of pickled eggs also stabilized.

  This is not, Xi Mei now sits bored in the shop, looking at the bustling streets can't help but complain: "So boring."

  Ji Jiu, who was wiping the table, looked up and wiped the sweat from her forehead, comforting her by saying, "Second sister, it's almost noon now, so of course there are fewer people."

  "Second sister, you complained that there were too many people when we first opened this morning and now that it's finally less crowded, you're saying it's too quiet. Sigh, you're really hard to please."

  Xi Mei is clever and doesn't say a word, saying that the flames of war will definitely spread to herself, this will be hidden in Rui Xuan's arms, looking at the book brought by Xiao Ba Wang.

  I guess she didn't hear her mischievous sister Xi Mei's voice, so Xi Mei looked around and said, "Hey, where did little sister go? Why is it so quiet today?"

  Stretching his neck to search, he finally found Xi Mei hiding in a secluded spot. He walked up and teased her, "Hey, Xi Mei, you can still understand books? Come out and play by yourself, don't disturb big brother reading."

  Sister Xi heard this and hummed in discontent, looking down on people, huh? Although she wasn't very familiar with this dynasty, but this font was obviously traditional Chinese characters.

  She is a Chinese after all, how can she not recognize Chinese characters? Although it's a bit more complicated and unfamiliar, she should still be able to understand most of it, right?

  She didn't see her own brother self-study and could understand it, how can she not be too embarrassed? However, in fact, she dare not say that if she says it out loud, her mother will definitely think that she is possessed by something and needs to invite a god to perform an exorcism dance for her.

  So now Xi Mei can only hold back her words and endure her own sister's ridicule and contempt.

  Just as several brothers and sisters were playing enthusiastically, several men in gorgeous clothes stepped into the shop. Xi He saw that someone had come and hastily signaled everyone to be quiet.

  Ruihao stepped forward and asked politely, "Would you gentlemen like to buy some pickled eggs? How many do you want? We have plenty here, no need to worry about running out."

  The man with a small goat beard in the middle looked at Ruihao with disdain and said, "A little kid, what right do you have to speak? Get out of here, go call your boss."

  A group of children suddenly burst into flames, and before Rui Xuan could speak, Chen Tian Fa hurried over from the backyard, apologetically saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, what's going on? Has my son offended you all? If so, I'll apologize for him first."

  When he heard that the young man in front of him was not a partner, but his son, Xiao Hu Zi's expression changed, and he hesitated to ask, "Are you...of this shop?"

  Chen Tianfa burst out laughing and said, "I am indeed the owner of this shop."

  After hearing this, Xiao Huzi's face was filled with regret, but a moment later his expression changed. He took a step forward, stroking Ruihao's head and said kindly: "I said so too, as soon as I entered the house, I saw that this young man was not ordinary, it turns out he is a noble son."

  This ability to speak human language when seeing humans and ghost language when seeing ghosts made Xi Mei exclaim in surprise, "There are still people like this in the world!"

  Several children also heard him change his attitude immediately, and they all had surprised expressions. Xi Mei couldn't help but secretly laugh.

  Upon hearing the laughter, Xiao Hu's expression stiffened. Chen Tianfa gave Rui Xuan a signal to lead several small ones to the backyard.

  Rui Xuan understood and led several children to the backyard.

  After they left, Xiao Hu's face looked a bit better. He said to Chen Tian, "To be honest, I came this time with something to discuss with you. Is it convenient for us to change places?"

  Chen Tian was taken aback, though somewhat perplexed, and continued to say, "If it's not inconvenient, and you don't mind, please come to the backyard for a chat?"

  Xiao Huzi nodded repeatedly in approval.

  Then Chen Tianfa led him to the backyard where he lived, and after he sat down, he asked, "I don't know what you want to discuss with me?"

  Xiao Huzi picked up the tea sent by Zhao's family, first smelled it and then put it down, slowly opening his mouth to say, "Brother, I'll just be straightforward with you."

  Chen Tianfa looked at himself with a serious expression, and Xiao Hu Zi continued with satisfaction: "As for me, I am the boss of the largest wine house in the town - Tian Xiang Lou."

  Before he could finish speaking, Chen Tian interrupted him with an unintentional remark, "Isn't the largest wine house in this town Drunken Beauty?"

  Can't help but say, Chen Tianfa is really too honest, without realizing that his words made the other person very embarrassed.

  Only after lifting his head and seeing the unnatural expression on the other person's face did he realize that his previous action was equivalent to directly slapping someone in the face. He hastily stood up and apologized repeatedly, "It was my younger brother who spoke too much, please continue."

  Xiao Huzi unnaturally picked up the tea and took a sip, looking at Chen Tianfa to see if he was mocking him. Only then did he continue speaking: "We're from Tianxiang Building. We know that your store has been selling pine eggs for a long time, so we hope to establish a long-term relationship with you."

  As he said this, he raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Tianfa.

  Chen Tianfa was puzzled and asked: "What do you mean?"

  Xiao Huzi raised his foot and said, "In that case, I'll be straightforward with you. Our master hopes that you can only supply us with a wine shop, and not supply Jiu Linglong."

  Got it, did you understand?

  Unexpectedly, Chen Tianfa just smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor refusing, but curiously asked: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

  Xiao Huzi just waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the best way is for you to sell the prescription to me, I'll give you the money directly, what do you think?"

  After finishing, he waited for Chen Tianfa's response. In his eyes, this was already a great temptation. According to his previous investigation, they were all farmers, and it was estimated that after listening, they would be very moved.

  Unexpectedly, after waiting for half a day, the other party still didn't make a move, and Chen Tianfa was still looking at him with an ambiguous smile. At this time, Xiaohu Zi was already somewhat displeased.

  He asked: "What's wrong, you're not willing? As for the money, we can negotiate, 500 taels?"

  At this time, Chen Tianfa stood up and said: "I roughly understand what you mean. Forgive me for not being able to follow your orders. Please leave."

  Xiao Huzi refused to give up and continued, "I know what you're thinking, you must be dissatisfied with the amount of money? This is something we can negotiate, 1,000 taels?"

  "Alright, shopkeeper, you can go back now." Without another word, Chen Tianfa escorted the person out of the house.

  Several people waiting outside saw Xiao Huzi being taken out and walked up one after another.

  Xiao Huzi was afraid of losing face in front of his subordinates, so he glared at Chen Tianfa and said harshly, "There will be a time when you'll regret this, don't come crying to me then!"

  Watching them walk away, Xi Mei finally walked forward and asked: "Dad, what's going on?"

  Chen Tianfa's face was a solemn expression that his daughter had never seen before, but Chen Tianfa just patted his daughter's head and said, "It's okay, go find your brother to play."

  Seeing her own father didn't want to say anything, Xi Mei also stopped asking and just nodded obediently, preparing to head in the direction of Rui Hao and the others.

  But just as they turned around, their eyes caught sight of a familiar carriage slowly approaching them from the corner of the street.

  That's all for today, and tomorrow will be more exciting. Danni weakly said: "Please subscribe, no refusal."
