Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 280: Obtaining the Store and Tricking the Zhang Family (2)_1

The Punishing Shopkeeper silently pushed open the door and made a ’please’ gesture to Mo Yan. After Mo Yan stepped in, he closed the door behind her.

When Mo Yan entered, Yan Junyu was facing the window, with his personal attendant, Guan Yu, standing by his side.

Perhaps hearing the noise behind him, Yan Junyu leisurely turned around. Upon seeing her, a bewitching smile surfaced on his face, "Big Maid, half a year apart, and you’ve grown into a beautiful young lady."

These words came from Yan Junyu’s heart and weren’t meant to tease. The first time they met, Mo Yan could only be considered a girl with yellowish hair. This year she had eaten well, drank well, slept well, and was in good spirits. She had grown quite a bit taller and her features had matured, indeed becoming a pretty young woman.

A twitch appeared at the corner of Mo Yan’s eye. She gave him a curtsey, then sat down on the chair opposite him, "Young Master Yan, indeed, more splendid than the past."

After hearing this compliment, the smile on Yan Junyu’s face grew more pronounced. He gave Mo Yan a ’good taste’ look and poured her a cup of tea that he had brewed himself. Then, he picked up the ginkgo wine that the Punishing Shopkeeper had just brought in and poured himself a cup.

He lifted his glass, his attractive thin lips sipped lightly at it. After closing his eyes and savoring the taste, he exclaimed with great praise, "This wine isn’t bad. Big Maid, bring more jars for me next time."

The corner of Mo Yan’s lips twitched, this fellow was certainly not shy, asking for several jars right off the bat. The last time she had gone to gather ginkgos in the mountains, she had only brewed five jars in total. Even if she went back to the mountains now, those ginkgo nuts would have already fallen to the ground and rotted.

Seeing that he had poured another cup for himself and was drinking with great enjoyment, Mo Yan lied with open eyes, "This kind is no longer available. If Young Master likes, how about plum wine?"

"Plum wine? Wine made from plums?" Yan Junyu raised his eyebrows and asked, pointing to his cup, "Then what kind of wine is this?"

"Ginkgo wine, made from a kind of nut gathered from the mountains, which can only be found by venturing deep into them." Mo Yan told the truth, hinting that it wasn’t easy to come by, so he shouldn’t set his heart on it anymore.

Upon hearing this, Yan Junyu suddenly became interested, "You’re so young, yet you know how to brew wine from nuts. Did your family used to make wine?"

Mo Yan, without blushing or skipping a beat, continued to fabricate, "No, people in the countryside can all brew rice wine and stuff. I just used the method for rice wine brewing, tried a few times and succeeded."

Hearing this, Yan Junyu didn’t ask further. He picked up his wine glass again and savored it carefully, finding it more enjoyable with each sip. This sensation was somewhat similar to the vegetables and herbs that the girl had previously brought him.

"By the way, Xiao Qiang mentioned that you’re looking to buy a shopfront. What kind of business are you planning to do?" Yan Junyu suddenly became concerned about Mo Yan’s shop-buying after a cup of wine.

At the mention of ’Xiao Qiang,’ Mo Yan’s lips twitched, "Just selling some produce from our own fields, grain and vegetables, that sort of thing."

She didn’t elaborate, just briefly mentioned it, and remembering that this man was the owner of Little Flower, she shifted the topic, "Little Flower has been at my house for almost half a year now. If you don’t take her back soon, she might forget her master."

Yan Junyu paused for a moment, a fleeting trace of melancholy passing quickly through his eyes. He laughed nonchalantly, speaking with a tone of disdain, "It’s better if she doesn’t come back. If you’re fond of her, then keep her. She’s actually quite good as a watchdog."

Mo Yan was speechless, feeling indignant on behalf of Little Flower. No matter what, Little Flower had been his companion for many years. Even if she was a bit gluttonous and had a big temper, there should be some attachment. And now, he was ready to discard her so easily.

Seeing her expression, Yan Junyu knew what she was thinking and couldn’t help defending himself, "Snow wolves are sentient. Although Little Flower grew up with this lord, she hasn’t recognized me as her master. Since she likes following you, and you can easily command her, you must be her true master in her heart. So take good care of her."
