pungent peasant girl

Chapter 51

"Little lady, do you want to buy something?" The plump proprietress inside saw her and immediately came over with a smile and asked.

Meng Qianyan raised the curved bow hanging around his neck, "Miss Boss, look at this, this is a silver bow, but I don't have any arrows, I wonder if you can make some matching small arrows for me here? "

"This?" The proprietress had never seen such a small silver bow, she was very curious, looked at it again and again, and then said: "I'll ask the head of my family to have a look, he should have a way."

The craftsman from the blacksmith's shop came out and looked at the little curved bow again and again, "Young lady, do you want a matching little arrow?"

"Yes."

The craftsman frowned, "Hehe, little madam, with all due respect, your silver bow is quite beautiful, it can be used as an ornament, why bother with small arrows?"

Meng Qianyan replied with a rhetorical question, "Uncle, how did you know that it can only be used as decoration, not for self-defense?"

The craftsman still didn't believe it. He hadn't seen anyone using such a gadget for self-defense.

Meng Qianyan didn't want to waste time, "How about this, uncle, don't worry about what I do, I'll just ask you if you can do it or not?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that is, do you want the silver one or the iron one?"

"It doesn't matter what the material is, as long as it is used smoothly."

"That's fine. I think the young lady should belong to a rich family. Then we'll deal in silver. The silver is also easy to deal with. Now we will do it, and it will be almost at night."

Meng Qianyan nodded, "Then why don't I pay part of the money first, and send it to Luo's house after you finish typing, and then I will give you another part of the money?"

"The Luo family!" The craftsman was taken aback, "The Luo family that the little lady mentioned is the Luo family that is in the silk business?"

Meng Qianyan smiled, "Yes, uncle, do you know?"

"Hahaha! The Luo family, the entire Mingzhou City is known to everyone, everyone knows it. By the way, I think the young lady is born, so she is the new young lady, right?"

Dong'er was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said out loud, "Uncle, you really have a pair of eyes, this is our second young lady!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, since it's the young lady of the Luo family who wants it, so, madam, you pay the money, and I'll be fine in a few hours, and I'll send it to the Luo family for you before dark."

"Okay." Meng Qianyan asked the price, left the money in the shop, explained his request, and left.

The remaining craftsman clicked his tongue while drawing the picture, "Hehe, these rich people just like to fool around. I still don't believe that this little gadget can be of great use."

Coming out of the blacksmith's shop, Meng Qianyan stayed around for a few more weeks, this place is truly a bustling county town, the shops are getting bigger and bigger, selling everything.

However, she didn't buy anything, because no matter what she saw, she could think that the Luo family was not short of these.

So, I bought some snacks to eat and went back home.

And not long after she arrived home, the people from the blacksmith's shop also brought Xiaojian over.

"Hey, Young Madam, count it. There are fifty rounds in total. According to your request, the arrows are very sharp. This wooden box was also made by Young Madam. It is just right to hold these arrows."

Meng Qianyan took it and weighed it in his hand, "Yes, uncle's craftsmanship is very good, Dong'er, give the rest of the money to uncle."

"Yes, young lady."

When the craftsman got the silver, he said goodbye and went out.

Here, Dong'er couldn't help it anymore, wondering, "Young Madam, I don't understand, what are you using these for?"

"Self-defense, I didn't tell you."

Dong'er frowned, "Is it really possible?"

"You do not believe?"

"Do not believe."

"Then I'll give you a try! Come on, take this stone and throw it out."

As he spoke, Meng Qianyan held up the silver bow with one hand and the silver arrow with the other.

Meng Qianyan narrowed his eyes and said quickly: "Throw..."

Then he suddenly let go of the fingers holding the silver arrow.

The stone was thrown, and the silver arrow was shot at the same time.

There was only a faint sound of piercing through the air, and then there was a ding, the silver arrow hit the stone directly, and the stone was shot down.

Dong'er was stunned, and then gasped, almost jumping up in amazement, "Ma'am, I really, really hit the shot!"

The craftsman who hadn't gone far also saw this scene, showing an incredulous expression, and murmured: "Young madam is good at archery!"

Meng Qianyan smiled slightly at the two, "Have you seen it?"

The two nodded blankly.

"Okay, once you have seen it, you will get it. It's just a small skill, so don't take it to heart."

The craftsman formally bid farewell again, and left Luo's house with a look of admiration on his face.Meng Qianyan put away all these small silver arrows and carried them with him.

At this time, it was getting late, and she knew that it was almost time for dinner, so she walked towards the Shou'an Courtyard where Mrs. Wu lived. She was still a new daughter-in-law, so there was no reason not to have dinner with her mother-in-law.

However, before stepping into the Moon Gate of Shou'an Courtyard, he saw a somewhat familiar figure, it was one of Wu's personal maids, named Cui Bi.

Seeing Meng Qianyan, Cui Bi showed a happy smile, "Young Madam, what a coincidence, this servant was just looking for you, so I met you here."

"Oh? Is there something wrong?"

"It's like this. Our eldest lady has temporarily decided that today's dinner will be eaten with the three of us, so let the kitchen add some more hearty dishes. The eldest lady said that the young lady has married the young master, and these matters should be handled by the young lady. It's hard work, so I sent my servants to tell the young lady."

"Then I understand, it is to add food, right?"

"That's what I mean."

Meng Qianyan nodded, "Alright, then I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."

I went to the kitchen and asked, sure enough, only some simple dinners were prepared in the kitchen, because Wu always likes to have a lighter night.

But thinking that everyone from the third room would come over, counting the second room and the third room and several young masters and ladies, there would be twelve people having dinner together tonight.

So Meng Qianyan told the chef: "Add eight more dishes, make them richer, and send them all to my mother in a while!"

"Yes, young lady."

In order to avoid mistakes in the kitchen, Meng Qianyan waited here until the eight dishes were ready and sent to Shou'an Courtyard one by one, then she got up and followed them over.

However, just as she was about to enter the room, she heard the sound of Luo Ziting slapping the table inside, "What's going on! Are you crazy in the kitchen? Why are you cooking so many dishes for just a few people? Did all the family’s money come for nothing! I still took all my mother’s words as wind on my ears!”

Hearing these words, Meng Qianyan's heart suddenly sank, no good, she seems to have been tricked.

The chef was frightened, and hurriedly explained, "Reporting to the eldest lady, the eldest lady, this is the meaning of the young lady, not a small one!"

"It's Meng Qianyan?" Luo Ziting became even more angry, "You go and call her in!"
