Chapter 753 Thank you
Tang Wan walked back to the inquiry shop.

Boss Wan has returned. Tang Wan had just gone inside for a short while when Ding Li came to the fortune-telling shop to pick her up.

Tang Wan bid farewell to Boss Wan and boarded the carriage.

Upon returning to the mansion, it was just time for dinner.

After dinner, Tang Wan and her sister Tang Jing returned to their room.

Actually, there were other rooms in the courtyard, but several families who were later exiled to the northern desert had nowhere to stay when they arrived, so the two sisters lived together to make room for others.

After they left, they didn't cause any more trouble, and the two sisters simply lived together.

The two sisters sat down by the window. Tang Wan personally poured tea for her elder sister, Tang Jing, and then sat down to look at Tang Jing's serene face.

Tang Wan casually mentioned, "Elder sister, I went to the prefectural capital today and overheard some news."

After saying this, Tang Wan held the tea in her hands, looked down at the teacup, and looked at it very intently, as if there were flowers inside.

Seeing Tang Wan's expression, Tang Jing said with a hint of reproach, "Oh? What news? Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly!"

Tang Wan looked up at Tang Jing and said with a hint of teasing, "I'm not keeping you in suspense. It's just that the news is about that young master Wang Fu. I'm a little hesitant because I don't know if you want to know!"

Sure enough, Tang Jing paused in her teacup-holding motion, her eyelashes drooping slightly. Her voice remained gentle, but her tone was somewhat urgent: "What's wrong with him?"

"It's nothing!" Tang Wan deliberately kept him in suspense, paused for a moment, and then replied slowly, "I heard that he was not sent to a post outside the capital, but stayed in the capital and entered the Hanlin Academy, where he was appointed as an editor."

Tang Wan's tone sounded like she was just chatting casually, secretly observing her sister's reaction. She then added, "It seems she values ​​it highly. The Hanlin Academy is a prestigious institution; her future prospects are sure to be excellent."

Tang Jing paused for a moment, her fingers tightening slightly as she held the teacup.

She was silent for a few moments before softly humming in agreement and saying in a low voice, "Staying in the capital and working at the Hanlin Academy would be excellent."

She had adjusted her mindset, and her tone didn't reveal much emotion, but the subtle relief she showed didn't escape Tang Wan's notice.

Seeing that she was like this, Tang Wan probably needed to process the news on her own, so she didn't say anything more. She just chatted with her for a few more minutes about everyday things, then got up and made an excuse to go to the small study next door.

In the following days, Tang Wan's life was relatively uneventful, but she was still very busy.

She took some time to go to her spatial dimension, where she re-tilled the land that had been vacated after the previous harvest and sowed new seeds again.

In addition, Chen Da also brought good news.

He has reached agreements with several orchard owners in the vicinity who own large apple and pear orchards, signing long-term purchase contracts to ensure the cannery's continued supply of raw materials.

Once the apples and pears are ripe, they can be harvested and processed in large quantities.

As for hawthorns, it's not yet harvest season, but we've already contacted people at the orchards.

Everything at home is running smoothly.

After being frightened by the incident, Tang Mubai, the younger brother, rested at home for a few days, drank a lot of calming medicine, and with the help of his talisman and the careful care of his family, his body and mind have almost recovered.

Now that his face has regained its color and he feels much more energetic, he has started studying diligently with his books again.

Tang Wan glanced at it but didn't say anything. It's good to read when you're in good spirits, rather than resting all day long.

...The weather was nice that day.

Tang Wan was checking the account books in her room when she suddenly heard that guests had arrived in the front yard.

She didn't pay much attention, as her father Tang Bojun's old friends or former colleagues often visited the mansion.

However, not long after, a maid came to report: "Second Miss, Master requests your presence in the front hall. He says that Lord Tan has arrived and wishes to see you."

Lord Tan?
Although Lord Tan was my father's senior fellow apprentice, the two had a close personal relationship and often visited each other.

But the fact that Lord Tan specifically wanted to see him today was rather puzzling.

Tang Wan didn't delay. She straightened her clothes and went to the front to greet guests.

I saw my father, Tang Bojun, sitting opposite Lord Tan, drinking tea and chatting happily.

Tang Wan entered and stepped forward with a graceful bow: "Wan'er greets Uncle Tan."

Lord Tan smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "My dear niece has arrived. There's no need for such formalities."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lord Tan looked at Tang Wan with a slightly embarrassed smile, rubbed his hands together, and said, "My dear niece, there is something I have come to do today that is difficult to say but I have to trouble you."

Tang Bojun smiled and shook his head, knowing full well what his senior brother wanted to ask for today.

Since he didn't have any himself, he told his senior brother about the source.

Unexpectedly, the senior brother couldn't wait a moment longer and wanted to see his daughter.

Lord Tan continued, “Last time I had a drink with your father and tasted a pot of his wine called ‘Jade Ice Burn’. The taste was unforgettable and left a lingering aftertaste! I’ve been thinking about it ever since I got back. A few days ago, I couldn’t resist and sent my servants to search for it in the market. But they searched all the taverns in the prefecture and couldn’t find a single jar. Everyone said they had never heard of this wine. It’s like a little cat’s paw is scratching at my heart. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”

Lord Tan sighed, looking quite distressed, and continued, "I've been holding back for a while, but my cravings have become unbearable! I have no choice but to swallow my pride and come to your father to ask for some, so as to ease this longing."

As Lord Tan spoke, he glanced at Tang Bojun, then chuckled to himself, "Who knew your father would say that the wine wasn't his, but a rare item that you, my dear niece, somehow obtained. I had no choice but to ask him to invite you out so I could ask you if you could spare some for me. The price is negotiable!"

So it turns out they came for "Jade Ice Burning"!

That wine was a new brew made by the Yu family using their own recipe, and the Yu family's young master had just said the day before yesterday that it was ready to be launched on the market.

Lord Tan went to look for it some time ago, but of course he couldn't find it.

Tang Wan and her father exchanged a glance, both of them smiling knowingly.

She pondered for a moment and then smiled, “Uncle Tan, you flatter me. I obtained it from a friend, and it is its good fortune to be so favored by you. Since you like it, I will have someone find some and send them to your residence. As for the price, I just want you to enjoy it.”

Upon hearing this, Lord Tan beamed with joy and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Oh dear, no, no, how can I take my niece's things for nothing!"

Tang Bojun interrupted him, saying, "Senior brother, don't refuse. Since Wan'er said she'd give it to you, just accept it."

Lord Tan smiled broadly, as if he could already smell the aroma of the wine, and hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, my dear niece! I will definitely have my wife prepare a good meal another day and invite you and your father to my residence for a chat!"

After chatting for a while longer, Lord Tan took his leave, satisfied.
