Chapter 489: Using a Bamboo Stick to Kill a Snake
"Ah! He's quite old now, I hope so!"
The master and servant walked slowly in the corridor, chatting casually.
-----
Since then, Zhang Tianyi seemed to have been reborn.
He no longer runs rampant in the town like he used to.
Now his words and actions have become more calm.
He went to the rouge shop, bought some rouge and powder, and mustered up the courage to send it to the Wang family.
He also brought a few jars of good wine as gifts to his father-in-law Wang Zhengmin.
Time passes quietly, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye.
An Yue observed Zhang Tianyi for many days and found that he did not act bully towards the Wang family.
Instead, he began to accommodate the Wang family in all aspects.
This was indeed beyond An Yue's expectations.
In An Yue's heart, as long as Zhang Tianyi is truly good to Wang Ke'er, she can let bygones be bygones.
However, everything depends on Wang Keer's own ideas, and An Yue can't interfere too much.
If they really succeed, it would be like hitting a snake with a bamboo stick, which can be regarded as one thing conquering another.
......
These days, An Yue goes to the town every day to make sure the Malatang shop and the herbal medicine purchasing store are open for business.
Next, the siblings and Chunzhi Ale and others had to return to the county town.
This day was the twelfth day of the first lunar month.
After the family had breakfast.
The siblings, Chunzhi Ale and the other three packed their luggage for the county town.
A'le drove the carriage to the main road and waited, and the few of them prepared to return to the county town.
During the Chinese New Year, the whole family is together and has a great time.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to return to the county town.
A'le sat in the carriage, and An'nian, Anyue and Chunzhi also got in the carriage one by one.
They waved goodbye towards the outside of the An family yard. Xiaobao and Bashi were both reluctant to leave.
Xiaobao shouted, "Aunt, please buy some delicious food next time you come back."
Bashi, who was standing nearby, barked a few times at the road.
Finally, he watched the carriage go away.
The carriage swayed and moved slowly forward.
An Yue sat in the carriage, thinking about various things that happened during the New Year period.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the brother and sister went to their grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings and happened to meet Lin Qingxue's family.
Speaking of which, my grandparents can now be said to have put an end to a major issue on their minds.
An Yue planned to return to the county town and settle down. After several shops were operating normally, she would bring her grandparents to the county town to live with them for a while.
Now, my uncle Jiang Chenghai has found a woman who is compatible with him and has married her.
Bringing my grandparents to the county town would allow my uncle and new aunt to be alone.
An Yue discovered that the hair on both sides of her grandparents' ears had become much whiter.
The wrinkles on the face also increased as the smiles increased.
An Yue knew that her grandparents still had one thing on their minds, and that was the future of her two siblings.
On the second day of the first lunar month, with the strong encouragement of her grandmother, An Yue warmly invited the Lin family to visit the An family as in previous years.
Now, An Yue has reached the age of coming of age, and Lin Hao is at the age of twenty.
My grandmother and Aunt Lin have been trying to bring An Yue and Lin Hao together for several years.
However, An Yue also knew that Lin Hua and his wife had high hopes for Lin Hao.
Although they have always been very caring towards An Yue and her brother.
They knew what Lin Hao was thinking a long time ago, but they never interfered with Lin Hao's feelings.
In the long run, they hope that Lin Hao's future wife will be the daughter of a bureaucrat who can provide more help to Lin Hao's career.
Compared with Anyue, they would rather maintain a pure cousin relationship.
People always go to higher places, and water will flow to lower places.
As for Yu Anyue, she doesn't care about becoming anyone's wife.
She traveled here and went through so many hardships before finally reaching the age of 15.
Although the An family is not rich nowadays, they have no worries about food and clothing under her management.
The business is now booming, and An Nian is also very hardworking, becoming a scholar at a young age.
Although there is still a certain distance between her and her dream of becoming a wealthy woman, she firmly believes that she can achieve it.
Now, An Yue is only concerned with making money. As long as she has money, she won't have to worry about the imperial examinations during An Nian's years.
With An Nian's intelligence and talent, it is only a matter of time before he passes the imperial examination.
After passing the imperial examination in Anyian, he would be able to get a government job at least.
By then, I will be a wealthy woman with money, young and promising, and there will be no need to worry about not having a good life.
An Yue always believed that no matter which dynasty, only if you are strong enough will others look up to you.
So at the moment, she just wanted to focus all her thoughts and energy on running the shop and An Nian's career.
Every time I get together with my grandmother and Aunt Lin, they always mention marriage intentionally or unintentionally.
An Yue declined with various excuses and said that she was not considering marriage for the time being.
An Yue has always known Lin Hao's feelings for her.
Lin Hao understands the situation of the An family, understands An Yue's situation, and even understands why An Yue has no intention of getting married.
So, he also worked hard in secret, studying hard to get a good degree.
When he passes the imperial examination, that will be the day for him to marry in grand ceremony.
So he was willing to work hard for it, and he also accepted getting along with him as an older brother.
It’s just that Lin Hao and An Nian studied in the same academy.
Whenever he felt weak in will, he would go to the mansion to see Anyue on the pretext of discussing knowledge with Anyue.
Although Lin Hua and his wife did not say it, they always expressed that they respected Lin Hao's own ideas.
But An Yue could still understand what they meant before and after the conversation.
Therefore, she and Lin Hao always maintained a distance between cousins.
In the past few years, An Nian has been studying in the county town.
In this era, there were no electric donkeys, and you had to rely on your legs to get anywhere.
If you want to do business quickly, learning to ride a horse is the first requirement.
While doing business, An Yue also learned horse riding, archery and driving a horse-drawn carriage.
When Lin Hao has free time, he will go to the siblings to learn from each other.
In just a few years, An Yue has opened four shops in the county town.
Two more hot pot restaurants were added on the basis of the original two shops.
The four shops are: a malatang shop, a pastry shop, and two hot pot restaurants.
The shops in the town are still the same as before, a spicy hot pot shop and a herbal medicine purchasing store.
As the number of shops increased, the monthly income also increased.
Of course, An Yue will also have to work harder in managing the shop.
Along the way, the carriage never stopped for a moment.
——Half an hour later.
The carriage finally arrived at the county house.
They unloaded all the things they had brought from home from the carriage and put them in place one by one.
After putting their things in place, they began to clean the house.
Chunzhi cleaned the house and Ale cleaned the yard.
Anyian was cleaning her room while Anyue was wiping the dust off the furniture.
