Chapter 727 The Extra Trial (2)
"Mother, do you mean that I can take a concubine?" Shao Juncong asked back.

Wei Yiyi's face was sullen, and she said after a while: "I didn't say anything."

"Then my mother is in favor of me marrying her." Shao Juncong said.

Wei Yiyi raised his hand and patted the table, angrily said: "Are you playing tricks on my old lady?!"

Shao Juncong hurriedly got up and left his seat, and he knelt on the ground with the corner of his robe lifted.Seeing this, Shao Yanran had no choice but to stand up and kneel beside her brother, stretching out her hand and tugging at her mother's sleeve: "Mom! What are you doing? Are you so angry?"

Wei Yiyi pointed at Shao Juncong and said angrily, "Go back and think about it, how to deal with this matter!"

"Yes." Shao Jun replied, got up and backed out.

Shao Yanran looked at her brother's back, tugged at her mother's sleeve, frowned and asked, "Mother, why are you forcing brother?"

"I didn't force him." Wei Yiyi sighed helplessly.

"Aren't you forcing him?" Shao Yanran pouted.

"If this matter is left in anyone's family, it is impossible to agree! If your brother marries a cook as his wife, he will be ashamed in the entire imperial capital!" Wei Yiyi said angrily.

"Why can't you hold your head up? Sister Yan didn't steal or snatch it, she is a girl from a decent family! Why can't you hold your head up?" Shao Yanran asked puzzled.

"What do you kids know? Go back to sleep." Wei Yiyi scolded her daughter.

"Mother!" Shao Yanran tugged at her mother's sleeve and refused to leave.

Shao Lingxiao got up and walked over to pull his daughter away from his wife, and coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, it's not your turn to worry about your brother's affairs, so go back to sleep quickly."

Shao Yanran looked back at her mother again, pursed her lips, turned and went out.

"These two children are spoiled by you!" Wei Yiyi sighed dissatisfied.

"When the children were young, we were away all year round, and we didn't see them face to face all year round. What's wrong with us? After all, we owe our children." Shao Lingxiao sighed.

After hearing this, Wei Yiyi thought that Shao Lingxiao had no biological parents since he was a child. Although his parents had always raised him as their own son, they were not relatives, and they were not relatives. Listen, knowing the pain in Shao Lingxiao's heart, he didn't say any more.

Yan Wenzhen has been busy with Yan's recipes for the past few days, and has not noticed the conflict between Shao Juncong's mother and son.After all, she hadn't seen Shao Juncong for a while.

"Sister Yan!" Someone called her outside, and she knew it was Shao Yanran's voice.In this general's mansion, the only person who can have such a cheerful voice is Shao Yanran.

"Miss Shao." Yan Wenzhen hurriedly put down his pen, got up and greeted her at the door.

Shao Yanran came in happily, took Yan Wenzhen's hand and asked, "Sister Yan, what are you doing? You are bored in the room all day, and the flowers outside are blooming, and I don't see you going out for a walk."

"I didn't do anything, I just sorted out the recipes that were burned before." Yan Wenzhen came in holding Shao Yanran's hand, let her sit on the low couch under the window, and poured tea himself and handed it over.

"By the way, I heard about this from Han Jun, she said that you burned your Yan family's family recipes in a fit of anger!" Shao Yanran laughed, "You are really good! You are so courageous. In the situation at that time, I didn’t know what to do if I changed it.”

Yan Wenzhen hurriedly said: "Look at what the girl said. You will never encounter such a thing in your lifetime."

"Then how are you sorting it out?" Shao Yanran looked at the scrolls on the desk and asked with concern.

"I've already sorted out more than half of it." Yan Wenzhen said, and brought two plates of dim sum to put on the tea table, "Girl, try this almond cake and red bean cake. I made them new."

"This has to be tasted." Shao Yanran took a bite of a piece of red bean cake with a smile, praised her repeatedly, and then chuckled softly: "You know? My brother's mouth is so tricky now, you made the dish on the dinner table , that dish was made by someone else, and he can taste it in one bite. Then, he was the first to grab the dish you cooked, and even my father couldn't grab him. "

Yan Wenzhen smiled and asked, "Really?"

"That's not it!" Shao Yanran sighed, "In my opinion, you are No.1 in my brother's eyes now. You don't even have to be on it—no, you have never seen me in my brother's eyes! Other brothers put My younger sister is protected as a baby, but my brother never cares about me."

Yan Wenzhen hurriedly persuaded: "No. The Major General also loves girls very much. It's just that the Major General is not good at words, so his care is kept in his heart, and it is not easy for others to find out."

Shao Yanran stared at Yan Wenzhen with a smile until she felt embarrassed and asked, "Girl, what do you want me to do?"

"Sister Yan, I suddenly realized that you know my brother very well." Shao Yanran smiled.

Yan Wenzhen's heart tightened when she was asked, she hurriedly avoided Shao Yanran's gaze, lowered her head and smiled, "What did you say, Miss?"

"Sister Yan, do you like my brother?" Shao Yanran asked.

"How is it possible?" Yan Wenzhen smiled lightly and shook her head.How can it be?He is the son of the Great General Hussars, a fourth-rank general, a descendant of a famous family, with a noble and honorable status.And she was just a humble cook.There is a huge difference in status, how can you like it?Even if there is a little bit, it must be curbed, it must be regarded as non-existent, and this germination must be killed in the cradle.

"Really?" Shao Yanran asked puzzled.

Yan Wenzhen smiled and asked back: "Why would the girl ask this?"

"It's nothing." Shao Yanran stared at Yan Wenzhen, but couldn't understand her heart.Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and he said with a light smile: "By the way, I heard yesterday that the one from the Bai family... Bai Shaoyu, right? He's already married. Don't you still pretend to be him in your sister's heart?"

"How is that possible?" Yan Wenzhen still shook her head, with a more peaceful smile on her face.

"By the way, Sister Yan, let's go shopping in the street? You've been stuck in the house for many days! Seeing that you don't even have any blood on your face, if you don't go out to get some air, you'll be moldy!"

"Girl, I'm still busy..."

"Oh, what's so busy? Go out and play for a long time, maybe you can find some inspiration. It's not too late to write your recipe when you come back." Shao Yanran said, pulling Yan Wenzhen outside.

"Oh, girl, can you let me change into clothes?" Yan Wenzhen said hastily.

Shao Yanran looked at Yan Wenzhen who was wearing a light green dress, and said with a smile: "This is pretty good, since we don't want to go on a blind date, why bother to dress up?"

In desperation, Yan Wenzhen was dragged out by Shao Yanran, and took a carriage to the street.

In the carriage, Shao Yanran began to make arrangements, first ordered people to go forward, to book a table at the teahouse, and then ordered people to go to Su Yuezhai to buy some Jiangnan-style dim sum.Yan Wenzhen leaned in the carriage and watched her busy, and couldn't help shaking her head, feeling that this girl from a wealthy family is really delicate.

However, after half an hour, Yan Wenzhen understood that what Shao Yanran did was not for the enjoyment of the rich girl, but for her to see the daily life of the newlyweds Bai Shaoyu and Wang Muqing.This teahouse is just opposite to Bai's pharmacy. Sitting at the window on the second floor and looking down, you can see the scene of Bai's pharmacy clearly.Bai Shaoyu accompanied his wife Wang Muqing, and thoughtfully helped her get out of the car, and the two of them entered the door amidst the respectful welcome of the store clerk.The loving back made the passers-by envious.

Even though Yan Wenzhen told herself countless times that she had let go, seeing this scene, her heart was still in a mess as if blocked.

Shao Yanran looked at Yan Wenzhen's face, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Yan, it's not that I called you to see them on purpose to upset you, it's really that you should face yourself correctly! This is a powerful medicine. Let you see your heart clearly earlier."

Yan Wenzhen smiled wryly, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss."

"Sister Yan, do you feel jealous when you see them like that?" Shao Yanran asked.

Yan Wenzhen shook her head: "No."

"Really?" Shao Yanran asked again.

Yan Wenzhen nodded affirmatively: "Really. I'm not jealous of Miss Wang, I just hope they can live a good life and grow old forever."

"Then why are you sad?" Shao Yanran asked.

Yan Wenzhen laughed at herself and said, "I just envy them. After all, if my grandfather hadn't passed away, if I hadn't encountered those bad things, I would be the one who was by Bai Shaoyu's side. There is no woman in this world I don’t look forward to the kind of life where the case is on the same level. Look at the two of them, how enviable they are? Even people on the street like to take a look.”

Shao Yanran nodded and said, "Sister is right."

Yan Wenzhen smiled, lowered her head to drink tea, and said no more.

Shao Yanran held her chin and looked at Yan Wenzhen for a long time before she smiled and said, "Sister, I believe what you said is true. You don't love Bai Shaoyu anymore, but you haven't fallen in love with my brother either."

Yan Wenzhen felt amused after hearing this, and asked, "How do you know?"

"Because, if I see the person I like with other women, I will go crazy! I will go and kill them." Shao Yanran chuckled lightly.

"You have to pay for your life if you kill someone." Yan Wenzhen said with a smile.

"I don't care! I can't rub the sand in my eyes." Shao Yanran snorted.

Yan Wenzhen smiled and did not argue with Shao Yanran.Is she the same kind of person as the girl in front of her? She can kill someone without paying for her life, and she may not live long if she doesn't kill someone.

"Sister Yan, what are you thinking?" Shao Yanran asked again.

"I didn't think about it. I think this tea is very good, and I'm thinking about the difference in its brewing method." Yan Wenzhen chuckled.

"Sister Yan, I just like your quiet appearance. I think my brother also likes you like this—" Shao Yanran said, leaning close to Yan Wenzhen's ear, and whispered, "By the way, that day, for you, My brother contradicted my mother and they almost didn't get into an argument. It freaked me out and I fell to my knees."

"Why?" Yan Wenzhen asked in surprise.

"It's not because my brother likes you and wants to marry you. Mother doesn't agree!" Shao Yanran said, staring at Yan Wenzhen's face carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Yan, what do you mean? Let’s figure it out together.”
