Chapter 280: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 280: Securing the Shop, Trapping the Zhang Family (Part 2)
Shopkeeper Xing silently pushed open the door and gestured for Mo Yan to enter. After she went in, he closed the door behind her.
Inside, Yan Junyu was facing the window, with his personal attendant standing beside him, watching the fish.
Perhaps hearing the movement behind him, Yan Junyu leisurely turned around. Upon seeing her, a bewitching smile spread across his face. "Little girl, it's been half a year, and you've grown into quite the beautiful young lady."
This remark came straight from Yan Junyu's heart, without any hint of teasing. When they first met, Mo Yan could only be considered a little girl. Over the past year, with good food, good sleep, and good mood, she had grown taller and her features had developed, indeed becoming a beautiful young woman.
Mo Yan twitched her mouth and politely greeted him before sitting on the chair opposite him. "Young Master Yan, indeed, even more charming than before."
Upon hearing this compliment, Yan Junyu's smile became even more obvious. He gave Mo Yan a knowing look and poured her a cup of tea that he had personally brewed. Then, he poured himself a cup of the white fruit wine brought by Shopkeeper Xing.
He raised his glass, lightly sipped from his delicate lips, closed his eyes to savor the taste, and praised, "This wine is excellent, little girl. Bring me more jars next time."
Mo Yan's lips twitched. This guy was not holding back, asking for more jars right away. Last time, she only brewed five jars of white fruit wine from the fruit she picked in the mountains. Even if she went back to the mountains now, those fruits would have already rotted away.
Seeing him pouring her another cup and enjoying it so much, Mo Yan lied with her eyes wide open, "I'm sorry, there's no more of this kind. If Young Master Yan likes it, how about plum wine?"
"Plum wine? Wine made from plums?" Yan Junyu raised an eyebrow, pointing at his glass. "Then what kind of wine is this?"
"White fruit wine, made from a type of nut picked from the mountains. You have to go deep into the mountains to find it." Mo Yan told the truth, implying that it wasn't easy to come by, so he shouldn't ask for more.
Yan Junyu became interested. "You're so young, yet you know how to make wine from nuts. Was your family in the brewing business before?"
Mo Yan continued to fabricate without blushing or skipping a beat. "No, but people in the countryside know how to make rice wine. I just used the same method to make it. After a few tries, it turned out."
Yan Junyu didn't ask further and lifted his glass again, savoring the taste. The more he drank, the more he felt the aftertaste was endless. This feeling was somewhat similar to when the girl brought vegetables and game meat before.
"By the way, Xiao Qiang said you want to buy a shop. What kind of business do you plan to run?" After finishing a glass of wine, Yan Junyu suddenly became concerned about Mo Yan's purchase of the shop.
Hearing the nickname 'Xiao Qiang,' Mo Yan's lips twitched slightly. "Just selling some produce from our own land, grains, vegetables, and so on."
She didn't elaborate and quickly changed the subject, remembering that this person was Xiao Hua's master. "Xiao Hua has been at my house for half a year now. If you don't come to pick him up soon, he'll forget you as his master."
Yan Junyu was taken aback, a hint of melancholy flashed across his eyes. He smiled indifferently and said with a hint of disdain, "It's better if he doesn't come back. If you like him, just keep him. He's not bad at guarding the door."
Mo Yan was speechless, feeling sorry for Xiao Hua. However, no matter what, Xiao Hua had accompanied him for many years. Even if he had become greedy and bad-tempered, there should still be some affection. Now, he was just discarded so easily.
Seeing her expression, Yan Junyu knew what she was thinking. He couldn't help but defend himself, "Snow wolves are intelligent. Although Xiao Hua grew up with me, he never really recognized me as his master. Since he likes to follow you and you can easily command him, in his heart, you are his master. So, treat him well."
