Chapter 646 What is the purpose
After visiting the lake island, Xiao Ziji wanted to stay with Yeran's family for lunch.

Yeran thought that the aunt was at home alone, and she didn't go back all night with Xing'er and Yue'er, so she didn't know how much she would miss her.

Regardless of Xiao Ziji's persuasion, he thought about rushing back to Xiushui Village as soon as possible.

When she was packing up in Beiyuan, Housekeeper Xiao came to find her.

"My old man invited Miss Ye to visit Lanyuan."

The things are basically packed, Ye Ran let Xing'er Yue'er play with Xiao Yunpeng for a while, and she followed Steward Xiao to Lan Yuan in a hurry.

The situation was different from yesterday when he came here. As soon as he stepped into the house, except for Mr. Xiao playing with an antler in front of the table, the room was very quiet, obviously he dismissed the servants.

After Housekeeper Xiao brought Yeran into the house, he also retreated.

Mr. Xiao had asked someone to prepare a pot of hot tea. As soon as Ye Ran entered the room, he poured a cup of tea for himself, waved to her, and signaled her to come and sit at the table.

As soon as Yeran sat down, the old man handed over the tea: "Your bacon smoked with wood and cinnamon tastes good. I have only tasted this flavor in Qixiang Pavilion in the capital."

I have to say, this Mr. Xiao is really powerful.

After eating only a few pieces of bacon, I guessed about her!
What does Mr. Xiao mean?
Ye Ran took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "The old man called Ran Niang to ask for an extra piece of bacon?"

This was a witty remark, and it easily dispelled Mr. Xiao's temptation.

If he was going to accept it as soon as it was good, he would have smiled and laughed, just pretending that he didn't ask anything.

but not!
Mr. Xiao's deep eyes fell on Ye Ran, and he suddenly picked up the antlers that were on the table: "I heard from Zi Gan, you collected these antlers and sent them to the Xiao family to make up for the old man?"

"This pair of antlers is full of vitality and blood. They are the antlers of an adult male deer, and they haven't been obtained for a long time. It can be seen that they are not cheap. I am afraid they will cost more than ten taels of silver."

Mr. Xiao's deep gaze was gradually stained with suspicion: "A normal farmer's family can't afford more than ten taels of silver to buy antlers. You, a country woman, spent more than ten taels of silver to buy this pair of antlers. Old man? What do you mean?"

Before Yeran could answer, Mr. Xiao paused, and there was something in his words: "I heard that Ziji often goes to Xiushui Village. You and Ziji are very close?"

Sure enough, he is worthy of the old man!
She Yeran doesn't do business without capital, and bought this pair of antlers for more than a dozen taels of silver, which is indeed intended to please Mr. Xiao.

However, the old man seemed to have misunderstood her.

She thought she did this because of Xiao Ziji's interest in the position of the third wife of the Xiao family.

And her plan to please the old man is to return to the capital one day and get the protection of the Xiao family.

This purpose is not yet clear...

Ye Ran calmly sipped a cup of tea, put down the teacup, and met Mr. Xiao's without looking away.

"Who said that the purpose of collecting this pair of antlers is to please the old man?"

She smiled faintly: "Ranniang is a doctor, and she collected this pair of antlers to prescribe medicine for the old man. Since the prescription has been prescribed, the consultation fee cannot be reduced."

The doubts in Mr. Xiao's eyes dissipated a bit: "The Xiao family will not lose your consultation fee!"

"To consult the old man, antlers and astragalus essence are rare, 100 taels of silver."

Ye Ran said bluntly: "Last time I did a consultation for Young Master Xiao, but I didn't receive a consultation fee. The Xiao family has a lot of money, so why don't we pay the consultation fee together."
