Lanzhi suddenly threw away the embroidery frame in her hand, hugged Gu Fei, and cried nonstop, “Xiao Fei, do you think I am a burden and don’t want me anymore?”
Gu Fei was overwhelmed. “What nonsense.”
“Can I not want you?”
“I think you have grown up and will marry soon.”
“It’s just that Young Master Xu is not sincere and only wants to take you as a concubine. I am not happy in my heart.”
“But if you are willing, I have nothing to say.”
She patted Lanzhi’s back, “If Young Master Xu doesn’t like you, I will let someone slowly find you a handsome scholar with a good temper.”
“What do you think?”
Lanzhi shook her head and cried.
Gu Fei’s heart moved. “Then, how about you take a look at my second brother?”
Lanzhi wiped her tears, raised her face, and nodded to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei looked at her: “Are you serious?”
Lanzhi didn’t match her second brother. She thought she was a good match for her eldest brother, but he was already married.
Lanzhi was like a timid rabbit. Although her second brother looked pretty, he was not thoughtful. She was afraid that Lanzhi would be wronged in the future.
However, since they were willing to fight and suffer, Gu Fei couldn’t say anything.
Lanzhi nodded vigorously.
She couldn’t say how much she liked Gu Erlang, but after arriving at this family, Gu Erlang was the first person to show her kindness, except Gu Fei.
She saw a lot and thought a lot during this journey of fleeing from famine.
In such a world, women were like duckweed, drifting with the flow, and it wasn’t to control their destiny.
The high-ranking marquis’ wife could become a courtesan overnight, and the scholar’s wife could abandon her husband and children for a bite of food.
And girls from ordinary people’s families like Lian’er didn’t know how many of them died and how many were sold.
In this world, the only person she can rely on is Gu Fei.
Getting married means that she has to face an unknown fate and an unknown life, which is too terrible.
Only by marrying Gu Erlang can she live her life under Gu Fei’s protection forever.
She would never leave Gu Fei even if she died.
Gu Fei didn’t know what Lanzhi was thinking. She thought that she had some feelings for Gu Erlang, so she nodded, “Okay, as long as you are willing. Although my second brother is not worthy of you, if you marry him, you can live a stable life.”
Gu Fei took out a handkerchief to wipe Lanzhi’s tears, “Okay, okay, people who don’t know will think I bullied you.”
She stood up, saying, “I’m going to the front, come out when I’m busy at noon.”
Gu Fei and Young Master Zhou agreed to have dinner at the middle of the afternoon, which is six o’clock. At this time, there were basically not many customers eating in the restaurant.
As expected, Sister Dan came early, followed Gu Fei into the kitchen, and watched Gu Fei cook carefully.
Gu Fei made a dish of stir-fried pork with peppers, which she had been craving for a long time.
Although they were not big green peppers, the taste of stir-fried string peppers cut into strips is even better.
She also made a braised bream, sprinkled with green and red pepper rings, which looked appetizing.
There was also a dish of beef with spicy peppers.
The rest were some light dishes.
When the dishes were served, Young Master Zhu and his friends had arrived long ago.
Young Master Zhu was dressed particularly showy today, and waved a folding fan there.
Only one table of guests was left in the restaurant, and several people sat in the lobby to eat.
Young Master Zhu came here today specifically to learn from others. He still doesn’t know how to cook the fresh chili peppers.
