queen and pro

Chapter 63

"I'm afraid you can't make up your mind!" Lan Qin said as he handed the jade pendant in front of Xiao Er. After a while, our shopkeeper will be back later." After speaking, he poured Lan Qin a cup of tea graciously.Xiao Tao also put away the surprised expression on her face, and obediently stood behind Lan Qin.

Seeing Xiaoer's attitude when he met Yupei, Lan Qin knew that he hadn't fooled her, and his impression of him improved a bit.

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, a middle-aged man wearing a purple gown and a golden belt around his waist walked in.

"Shopkeeper, here comes a distinguished guest!" Xiao Er immediately stepped forward and whispered to the shopkeeper.

"Oh, what's the origin?" the shopkeeper asked, and glanced at the only two customers in the store—Lan Qin and Xiao Tao, who were dressed in common clothes, and raised their eyebrows, curious about their origins.

"The Azure Dragon Jade Pendant!" Xiao Er said in a very low voice.

The shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed, and he walked respectfully to Lan Qin's side, bowed his body, and said with a flattering smile: "Hello, girl, I am the shopkeeper of this shop, my surname is Zhang, and each name has the word "Fu". Do you need any help, girl?"

Lan Qin stood up and said with a decent smile, "Master Zhang, I want to see its owner, please help me arrange it." After speaking, he handed over the green dragon jade pendant.Shopkeeper Zhang took a closer look at the jade pendant. It was real, but he didn't take it. Instead, he pushed it to Lan Qin and kept saying, "No, no, this jade pendant is still a girl. You keep it. I'll see you soon." I'll arrange it for you soon, but I don't know where the girl lives?"

"This..." Lanqin and Xiaotao hadn't had time to find a place to live at all, and she was worried that she would not dare to go back to live in the same situation as last time, even after renting a house, so she couldn't help but hesitate.No matter who the shopkeeper Zhang was, he immediately guessed that Lan Qin didn't have a suitable place to stay, and immediately said: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, you can stay in the humble house temporarily. When the villain makes arrangements, I will inform the girl immediately."

Lan Qin thought for a while, this was the quickest way to see the man in black, so he didn't refuse any more, and thanked shopkeeper Zhang with a blessing, which made shopkeeper Zhang almost kneel down and yell for his aunt to forgive him.

Shopkeeper Zhang explained a few words to Xiao Er, then took Lan Qin out of the bank, turned into a small alley next to him, and walked about a hundred meters before arriving at a vermilion gate.

Shopkeeper Zhang chuckled, then stepped forward and knocked on the door vigorously.

The door opened from the inside with a creak, and a woman in her 30s appeared in front of her in a long orange floral dress and a jasper hairpin. Her black hair was pulled up high and combed into a cloud.

"Damn ghost, why did you come back so early today?"

"Ahem, ma'am, there are guests!" Shopkeeper Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead in embarrassment, and looked at Lan Qin with embarrassment.

The woman finally noticed Lan Qin and Xiao Tao at the side, raised her brows: "Zhang Fu, do you want to take a concubine? Let me tell you, don't even think about it, unless you are walking on my mother's body, otherwise..."

Zhang Fu was afraid that she would offend Lan Qin, so he quickly interrupted her: "My aunt, you have misunderstood, this is a distinguished guest, and he is just staying at our house for a few days." After finishing speaking, he looked at the woman with beseeching eyes .

The woman glanced around Lan Qin and Xiao Tao suspiciously. The two women looked good, wore average clothes, and the most important thing was that they didn't smell like coquettish foxes. woman.

"Oh, sister of the Xia family, I say you just listen to my advice. My niece is in good health, with big and round buttocks. She is definitely a material for a son, and she is also very sensible and hardworking..." A woman in a hurry Walking over, Lan Qin followed the voice and found that it was a woman of unknown age, because her face was completely covered by a thick layer of powder, and her voice was loud and shrill. Extremely uncomfortable.

She said a few words before she found Lanqin and Xiaotao next to her, and then covered her bloody mouth with a clear smile on her face: "Oh, so you have found a suitable partner, no wonder you didn't agree to me, "The conversation changed, and her fingers with sharp long nails pointed at Lan Qin and said: "The appearance is not bad, but I think these two little girls are too thin, they really don't look like they can bear children..."

"Enough!" Shopkeeper Zhang, who had always impressed Lan Qin as a good man, suddenly stopped the woman loudly, and said impatiently, "Matchmaker Li, these two are our distinguished guests! Please don't talk nonsense and ruin the girl. reputation, and I will never take a concubine in this life, if nothing else, please always invite me!"

Lanqin and Xiaotao who stood aside finally figured out what was going on.

"What are you dragging, isn't it just a few stinky money, otherwise my mother would not be interested..." Li Matchmaker twisted her waist and walked away cursing.

Shopkeeper Zhang turned his head again, scratched his cheek in embarrassment, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Girl, I'm really sorry to make you laugh..."

The Xia family who was coaxed by the sentence "I will never take a concubine in this life" just now said happily: "This girl, go in and talk!"

It was only after Lan Qin stepped into the courtyard that she finally understood why Matchmaker Li would come to her door repeatedly to accept concubines for shopkeeper Zhang.The Zhang family's house is not small, and it is quite elegantly furnished. Although it cannot be compared with those century-old noble families, it can be regarded as a wealthy family.More importantly, the population in this house is extremely simple, there are no other masters except shopkeeper Zhang and the Xia family.

Shopkeeper Zhang explained a few words to Xia Shi and left the house again.Xia Shi enthusiastically dragged Lan Qin to an exquisite guest room, and said happily, "Sister Lan, you can stay here, and just let me know if you need anything."

Lan Qin also had a good impression of this woman who dared to defend her marriage, but she couldn't help but wonder how she knew her surname was Lan, as if she didn't even tell shopkeeper Zhang herself.

Mrs. Xia is a straightforward and straightforward woman. Since she got married, she has never experienced any hardships in life. In addition, shopkeeper Zhang is also a well-known "strict wife" in the neighborhood, so she is quite envied and jealous by the women around her. There are no close friends in the boudoir, so once she confirmed that Lan Qin was not threatening, her chatterbox flowed out like a river breaking its embankment.

From Xia Shi's narration, Lan Qin also had a general understanding of her situation.Xia Shi married Zhang Fu ten years ago, the two have a very close relationship, the only regret is that after so many years of marriage, Xia Shi has never had any news from her stomach.Zhang Fu lost his father and mother in his early years. He was an orphan. He was very eager to have a child. Firstly, he could pass on the incense, and secondly, he could enjoy family happiness. That's it.
