Chapter 427: Chapter 402, The Strange Farmer_1
In the blink of an eye, three of the five glass lamps that had just been received were gone, leaving only the last two.
Daohua looked towards Wang Manman, thought for a moment, and said, “Send them to Yunxi and Yunyan right away, I’m worried that more people will come asking for them later.”
Hearing this, Wang Manman immediately turned and walked toward the storeroom.
No sooner had the Fourth Brother left with a glass lamp than the Eldest Brother and the Third Brother came looking for one. By now, it’s likely that everyone else in the residence knows about them, and it really wouldn’t look good to refuse if others come asking.
A couple of days ago, while browsing the Glass Store, Madam hurried Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan away without taking the glass teapot that the Little Prince had offered. It seemed appropriate to send back two items in return.
Sure enough, just as Wang Manman was carrying the glass lamps out of the courtyard, Yan Yile came over with Yan Yishuang and Yan Yihuan in tow.
Before they could speak, Daohua took the initiative and said, “You’re too late, I only received a total of five glass lamps, and now they’ve all been given away.” freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Upon hearing this, Yan Yile and her companions all wore expressions of disappointment.
Yan Yile moved her lips, unable to hold back, she asked, “Big sister, do you think you could…”
“No!”
Daohua knew what she was going to say and cut her off, “Because I did a small favor for De Fu, he gave me the glass lamps to thank me. He has already given away five, how could I ask him for more?”
“Anyway, the Glass Store is just there, if you really like them that much, go buy them yourself.”
Yan Yile pouted and said no more.
If they could afford to buy them, why would they come begging?
Daohua stood up, “Alright, it’s getting late, grandmother and father must have already gotten ready; we should go join them.”
Watching Daohua leave the courtyard with her maids, Yan Yile and her cousins felt helpless and had no choice but to follow with heads hung low.
Yan Yile: “Five glass lamps, one given to the Eldest Brother, the Third Brother, and the Fourth Brother each, so who got the remaining two?”
Yan Yishuang nodded towards Wang Manman who was approaching from the direction of the guest courtyard: “Isn’t it obvious?”
Yan Yile pouted: “Big sister is even nicer to outsiders than to us.”
Yan Yihuan gave her a stern look: “Nonsense again, who’s an outsider? That’s our clan sister. Besides, it’s big sister’s property; she can give it to whoever she wants, what’s it to you?”
Yan Yishuang couldn’t help but let out a sneer: “Second sister is increasingly taking on big sister’s mannerisms, but, have you ever heard of the idiom ‘ape the beauty’s frown’?”
At these words, Yan Yihuan’s face darkened instantly.
Yan Yishuang smiled: “I still have things to pack, I’ll go on ahead.”
Yan Yile watched Yan Yishuang walk away, then looked at her sister whose complexion was turning, and asked, “Sis, what does she mean by that?”
Yan Yihuan calmed her emotions and said lightly, “She’s saying I’m imitating big sister, ignore her. These days, she can only find a sense of presence by picking on us.”
With that, she took Yan Yile back to the second branch of the house.
By now, each branch of the family had almost finished their preparations, the carriages were ready, and they could leave once everyone was assembled.
…
The Yan Family’s outing this time wasn’t to a distant place, but to Qiyuan Mountain at the outskirts of the city to climb and enjoy the chrysanthemums.
On the festival of Double Ninth, there were no shortage of people heading out for holiday revelry; the moment the Yan Family stepped down from their carriage, they encountered many acquaintances.
Compared to Xingzhou, since coming to Ningmen Prefecture, the Yan Family had quickly gained a foothold, as everyone knew that Yan Zhigao was appointed by the emperor himself, and openly, no one dared to create obstacles.
