Speaking of which, the Lan family had four sons and a daughter in Duan Qingyun's family. They were protected by the Lan family when they were having a difficult time giving birth. Duan Qingyun was thinking about his dead wife, so he naturally treated her like his own flesh and blood. Holding it in your hand, afraid of shattering it, afraid of melting it in your mouth, afraid of losing it in your eyes. Even the emperor of the imperial city might not be able to match up to her in terms of being loved and doted on.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she doted on him, it was useless. The Fourth Miss of the Duan Clan had a problem with her mother's womb and had a weak body. The Duan Clan doted on her and took good care of her.

Although Duan Lianfeng was not as good as Duan Jidao, he still had one legitimate son, two bastard sons, and Duan Lianhong was even more so. He had two sons, six bastard sons, and when all the grandchildren were gathered together, they could form a main team and have five substitutes.

This time, he saw Country girl, who he had quarreled with just now, standing on the street in a daze. Duan Qingwen had never seen such a well-dressed and spicy woman, so she started to size him up out of curiosity.

She was even more curious now. It was hard to tell if her face was good or bad, and her figure was small and petite. In addition, she was wrapped in a large piece of sackcloth, making her look even skinnier than before.

It was as if only bones were left. The hands outside the clothes were so black and thin that they looked creepy. They were very different from the girls of his age that he had ever seen before.

A few days ago, her mother wanted to make new clothes for her brothers and sisters at home. The tailor who came to measure her height and Yue'er found that Yue Er's height hadn't changed, but her figure was still a full circle wider than it was a month ago. Yue'er felt that she had gotten fat and unsightly, so she refused to eat properly. No matter how others tried to persuade her, it was useless. In the end, it was her mother who laughed and said:

'At this age, it's normal for a girl to be a bit fatter when she wants to grow up. When she passes this age, she'll naturally lose weight.

She then saw that Duan Yueer was still a little skeptical of Lady Zhang so she added, "If you don't eat your meal now to replenish your body, you might get injured when you lose weight. When that happens, your skin will no longer be smooth, and you'll look extremely ugly."

Duan Yueer, who always valued her own skin the most, started to panic the moment she heard this. Thinking back to how her sisters who played around with him seemed to have grown a bit fleshy recently, she somewhat believed the words of the Madam Li, no longer making a fuss, and obediently ate her food.

As Duan Qingwen thought about this, he felt that the woman was really pitifully thin, as if she didn't resemble a girl of this age at all.

At that moment, Duan Qingwen was in a daze, but he was actually very happy to have something fresh to eat. Not to mention that she had completely forgotten about the unhappiness just now. Even the shop assistant, Wang Er, who wanted to help her with the dishes had been dismissed as well. He hurriedly came in with a plate of pastries and offered them to his brother.

"Big brother, what do you think this is?" I just got it from the shopkeeper. As he said that, Duan Yueer put the pastry on the table, and took a piece to stuff into Duan Qingwen's mouth.

Duan Qingwen was distracted, but when he regained his senses, his mouth was already filled with sweet pastries.

"Brother, is the taste excellent? I can see that although this pastry is not very fine, it tastes even better than the Jade Cloud Workshop's Jade Cloud Cake. "

Duan Qingwen had just randomly stuffed his mouth into his mouth, and felt that it was too sweet to eat anything. Hearing his sister's words, he also carefully savored it. Duan Qingwen also realized that this taste was not normal, furthermore, the sour and sweet jam within the pastries was fragrant yet not greasy, as though it was sweet and rich with a tinge of sour and refreshing.

"It's delicious. But the new pastries from the Emerald Cloud Market? "

"Of course not. The things made by the Emerald Cloud Market look the best, so how could they be so crude? However, being crude doesn't matter. I taste really good. Brother, guess where this good thing came from? "

"I saw you here just a moment ago, and then you ran off. But I think you haven't gone far, could it be that this is a new snack from Guest Home Resturant?"

Brother, you guessed half right, I am a snack from the Guest Home Resturant, but I'm not from this shop. According to the shopkeeper, it was his wife who cooked it for me, so it's not for sale.

"Oh, if that's the case, then how did you get it?" Seeing Duan Yueer's enthusiasm, Duan Qingwen knew that he couldn't give her any face, and followed her words with a smile.

Sure enough, when Duan Yueer saw that her brother was giving him face, she casually moved a stool over, sat down, and ate another piece of pastry before saying, "I was feeling a little hungry just now, so I asked for some pastries to fill my stomach before I went downstairs. But I didn't know that Guest Home Resturant never made pastries, if I wanted to eat, I could only go buy pastries from the Emerald Cloud Market.

Big brother, you know me, I didn't have much to eat this morning, and I've been walking all this way. I was hungry for a long time, so I pressed my chest against my back and waited anxiously. "Then why didn't you find this for me?" With that, Duan Yueer drank a cup of water to moisten his mouth.

Seeing her actions, Duan Qingwen knew that she still had more to say, so she did not plan to say anything else. She just smiled and continued to listen to Duan Yueer.

"At first, I was still angry. I felt that this shop assistant was toying with me, so I scolded him for saying that there was clearly a pastry in the shop, but instead, I said there wasn't. However, at this time, the shopkeeper also walked out, saying that the pastries were made by his wife. Previously, he didn't buy any food, but now, he brought a plate to the front of the store, and since he said that he wanted pastries, he put some on me.

When I heard him say this, I felt a little better. Before I ate, the shopkeeper said, "If I find it good to eat, I will also make more dishes to buy from the store."

Speaking of which, Duan Yueer covered her mouth and laughed: "Brother, do you know that Yue'er felt that the moment she saw the pastries, they must have been very rude and didn't taste good. She didn't care whether it was good or not, so she decided to give it a try first. After hearing the shopkeeper's words, he even sneered in his heart, but he did not expect that the food would be so delicious. "

"Then, why don't you bring out the plate of pastries and don't leave any for the shopkeeper?" Hearing that, Duan Qingwen also laughed, the meaning behind his words had a tinge of reproach, but in the end, all he had in his eyes was a smile that showed his sister's pettiness, and he did not seem to have a temper.

Duan Yueer was naturally unafraid and replied, "I paid for it with silver, but I paid for it with the highest prices in the Emerald Cloud Market. Big brother, you didn't even look at the shopkeeper's face and almost couldn't hide the smile from his face. I thought that the cost of this pastry would be extremely light, but it was only a plate, and the shopkeeper was able to earn it all in one go. What if Big Brother went to that shopkeeper and asked for the recipe and bought it from our Duan Clan's pastry shop? It must be a good way to make money. "

"You little girl, you're not someone who only remembers to eat. You actually remember to find some profitable business for our Duan Clan?" Seeing how excited Duan Yueer was, Duan Qingwen could not help but find it funny.

"Isn't that so? Don't underestimate me, I'm smart. " How could Duan Yueer not know that her own brother was just teasing her? But she was used to being shameless in front of her brother, so she didn't care much about it, and instead smiled: "Grandfather often praises me, saying that if I were a man, I definitely wouldn't be lacking compared to all of you, who knows, if I compare you all with him, I might even become the first prince."

"Pfft!" Grandfather used to use these words to make you happy … You're taking it for real, no matter how much you struggle at home, you're still shameless when you're born outside. " Seeing that Duan Yueer was not at all concerned, he continued: You're a girl, so grandfather used you as a precious pearl to pamper you, if you were a man, you might not even like being the grandpa of the top scholar.

"Brother only knows how to say this. He must have been jealous to have pampered me and felt uncomfortable in my heart. "Like …" A sly smile flashed past Duan Yueer's eyes, but she did not continue speaking.

"What is it?" His sister was truly weird, Duan Qingwen was unable to guess what she was thinking.

"If I were to call you Tsui Ping another day and tie up your hair in a fashionable bun, put on makeup, draw your eyebrows with makeup, and then send Big Brother back to you in a girl's dress. Grandfather would definitely be happy and cherish Big Brother as a precious treasure." After saying that, Duan Yueer became more alert, afraid that her brother would capture her, so she grabbed her clothes and hid.

If it was said that Duan Yueer was pretending to be a noble and elegant person, then to her own direct brother, she was like a monkey.
