The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 780 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (51)

No matter how chaotic the outside world is, there is harmony in this farm outside the city.

The first batch of potted plants that Zhou Tianyu gave to Su Xiangran was harvested. There were not many peppers, but it was definitely enough to cook a plate of sauerkraut fish.

The tomatoes are bearing fruit, but they are green and not fully ripe yet, so they cannot be eaten yet.

At this time, the fish production in the village was still good, so after the cook made a spicy dish according to Su Xiangran's instructions, Zhou Tianyu was simply "amazed" by the chili.

"I didn't expect that this kind of ornamental food can actually be eaten." Zhou Tianyu immediately drew inferences from his experience, "Then is there another kind that can be eaten?"

"But! It has to turn completely red, otherwise I'm afraid it might be poisonous." Su Xiangran could only explain to the other party like this, hoping that Zhou Tianyu could believe it!

Zhou Tianyu nodded without any doubt: "You are right, we should be more cautious. Even if it is cooked, we should try it with rabbits, chickens, etc. before we eat it."

Su Xiangran smiled and gave Zhou Tianyu a piece of fish fillet with chopsticks and said, "You should think about how to grow more peppers! I don't have many seeds collected."

"It's okay. This seed is imported. My cousin will go out to sea again. Let him bring some back then." Zhou Tianyu added, "We will continue to plant the seeds in your hand. Anyway, this thing grows fast."

Hearing the word "going to sea", Su Xiangran asked uncertainly: "Is your cousin still shipping by sea these years? I thought..."

"The Baili family started out as a shipping company, so they would never give up this source of income." Zhou Tianyu thought for a moment and then explained, "In fact, the wreckage of the Baili family's main ship was not found back then.

My cousin has always believed that there might be survivors, so this is also the reason why he did not give up maritime trade this time."

"That's true. After all, everyone hopes that their loved ones are still alive." Su Xiangran sighed softly. She felt a little sympathetic towards Zhou Tianyu. It seemed that this man had always had a weak relationship with his parents.

Whether it is this world or other worlds, there is either only one, or the feelings are not deep.

Seeing that Su Xiangran was in a low mood, although Zhou Tianyu didn't know the reason, he always wanted to cheer her up out of habit. It happened that a hairpin he had ordered before arrived.

"Xiao Ran, look at what this is?" Zhou Tianyu took out the brocade box from his arms, "Your coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon, this is my gift to you, do you like it?"

Su Xiangran opened the brocade box and found a golden hairpin inside.

This gold hairpin is exquisitely crafted and shines brightly all over.

The hairpin is slender and elegant, with smooth and natural lines. The top is inlaid with a huge red gem, which is bright in color and crystal clear.

The gem is surrounded by fine gold threads, which are woven into exquisite peony patterns, setting off the gem and making the hairpin look even more gorgeous.

The handle of the gold hairpin is engraved with exquisite auspicious cloud patterns, which has excellent meaning.

"This is too expensive!" Although Su Xiangran couldn't let go of the gold hairpin, she still knew her limits. The gem on the top alone was worth a fortune, not to mention that such craftsmanship could not be obtained from a small shop.

Such a thing is more than enough to be used as an engagement gift, and it is not good to easily accept a hairpin from a man.

Even though the original owner and the third prince Zhao Jiaheng had been an engaged couple for so many years, she had never accepted his hairpin, which shows that this thing cannot be accepted casually.

"It's okay, it's not expensive! They're all from my own shop, so they won't cost much." Zhou Tianyu was afraid that Su Xiangran would not accept them, so he quickly explained, "Besides, the coming of age ceremony is very important, so it's better to give her something more expensive."

Just as Su Xiangran was about to say something else, she saw her maid Qing'e constantly lip-syncing to her, as if saying: Madam, Madam...

Her mother? What happened to her mother?

"It seems like you are living a good life!" Madam Su came in from outside. "I didn't know that the food on this farm is so good that my daughter is so happy to have such a good time here."

"Mom?" Su Xiangran was startled at first, but immediately relaxed. "Actually, some time ago, the potted plant that Brother Zhou gave me produced fruit, and I used the fruit as a seasoning to try out a few new ways to eat fish.

Thinking that this potted plant was also given to me by him, I asked him to come over and try it. Unexpectedly, it tasted quite good. "

Madam Su didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "This meal is delicious. Did you ask the question I asked you to ask?"

"No!" Su Xiangran lowered her head a little embarrassedly. It was still very embarrassing to ask such a question.

"You're just like your father." Madam Su said with some dissatisfaction, "Since you don't ask, then I will ask!"

Although Zhou Tianyu didn't understand what the mother and daughter were talking about, he intuitively felt that it was related to him.

"Sir Zhou, just by looking at this hairpin, I know what you are thinking." Madam Su took the hairpin from her daughter Su Xiangran and said, "But whether I can accept it depends on your answer.

Because it concerns my daughter, I still have to ask you something. What happened to your two previous fiancées?"
