Zhang Lan's life took a different path because of writing stories.
The storybooks she wrote are very popular whether in teahouses or bookstores.
The storyteller preferred to tell the stories she wrote. After the bookstore printed them into books, they were also very popular.
Originally, she was just an ordinary girl whose father died young and her mother was ill. Writing stories changed her life path.
For having these achievements, the person Zhang Lan wants to be most grateful to is Xiao Xixi.
Not only did he help her go to the teahouse to get her money back when she was helpless and desperate, but he also gave her an opportunity to make money.
Xiao Xixi waved her hands and didn't care. The tea house and Zhang Lan were mutually beneficial to each other. Without Zhang Lan's story, the tea house's business would not be so prosperous.
As life got better and better, Zhang Lan's mother also wanted her daughter to have a good marriage.
But her family, Alan, was definitely not worthy of everyone, and she didn't know anyone, so she couldn't make the decision for her daughter, so she could only let her take care of it herself.
Zhang Lan felt that this kind of thing was rare, so even though her mother had told her several times, she didn't take it to heart.
Zhang Lan didn't have any relatives here, so Xiao Xixi organized a group of relatives and friends to attend, and some of Zhang Lan's book fans came to support them. The lineup was not inferior to Gu Xian's.
Zhang Lanniang lived with them, while Gu Xian's parents returned to Pingzhou, and the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law disappeared.
Zhang Lan saw that Xiao Xixi was sincere and didn't seem to be deceiving her, so she asked, "Can I be considered accomplished?"
Not only did He Xiu feel bitter about this, but even Xiao Xixi was a little envious. Although Leng Moran had been very kind to her when she was pregnant with the child, he did not put down all the government affairs at hand.
For Gu Xian, as long as he didn't refuse on the spot, he would still have a chance.
It was precisely because of Gu Xian's reaction that Zhang Lan left a good impression on him. She was not familiar with Gu Xian before and had not had much contact with him. After that, Gu Xian would brush up in front of Zhang Lan from time to time.
There is a sense of presence, and sometimes Gu Xian will go to Zhang Lan's house to please Zhang Lan's mother.
The two of them were not acquaintances, and they only nodded and said hello when they met. Where did the feelings come from?
As soon as He Xiu saw Zhang Lan stunned, he knew that she was starting to think about it silently again. She simply poked him and said: "Oh, don't think about it, I won't lie to you. The guy next to Gu Xian told me personally, I'm sure
It can’t be fake. If you want to know the reason, just go boldly and ask him."
He Xiu thought about it seriously, nodded and shook his head, and said: "Yes and no, I don't have much obsession with getting married and having children. Compared to being confined in the back house, I prefer to live freely.
And since I have you, I will never be lonely in the future."
Zhang Lan quickly explained, "No, no, I'm just a little surprised."
Xiao Xixi was surprised and immediately asked: "You don't want to get married?"
Gu Xian always talks a lot, but seems dull when it comes to emotional matters. He has had a crush on Zhang Lan for a long time, but he has not dared to say it. It was only after being prompted by Xiao Xixi that Gu Xian went to Zhang Lan to express his feelings.
After Zhang Lan was pregnant, Gu Xian put down his business and spent all his time with his wife.
"What? Are you afraid that I'll hear it?" Zhang Lan raised her eyebrows and asked deliberately.
Zhang Lan had a good impression of Gu Xian, but it was only a good impression.
After receiving comfort from Xiao Xixi, Zhang Lan put down her worries and at the same time, her attitude towards Gu Xian began to slowly change.
After the two got married, they continued to run the teahouses under their respective names. Gu Xian would not restrain Zhang Lan. Apart from their different identities, there was not much difference.
Until one day, He Xiu told her with a smile that Gu Xian liked her.
In the end, she overturned everything she had thought.
But things often don't develop as expected. Just when Zhang Lan decided to ignore it for the time being, Gu Xian started his pursuit offensive.
"But……"
However, Zhang Lanniang has no intention of forcing her daughter. She does not agree with her parents' orders to find matchmakers. After all, her knowledge and vision are far inferior to her daughter's now. If she forces her daughter to listen to her, it will be tantamount to harming her.
daughter.
It can be said that the two have a mutually successful relationship.
She could rank all Gu Xian's advantages and disadvantages and choose the outcome that was most beneficial to her, but emotional matters were never about weighing the pros and cons.
Xiao Xixi firmly believed that if Leng Moran and Gu Xian were in the same position, they would definitely not do worse than Gu Xian.
He Xiu never told lies, and Zhang Lan did not suspect that she was lying to her, but she also had concerns in her heart.
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Gu Xian talked a lot and was good at making his elders happy, so he already won Zhang Lanniang's favor after visiting him a few times.
Xiao Xixi saw Zhang Lan's thoughts and explained casually: "People may not like people with similar personalities to themselves. Anyway, I think you and my cousin are quite suitable."
Before Zhang Lan could speak, He Xiu appeared out of nowhere and nodded seriously in agreement, "Yes, yes, you are indeed very powerful, no one else can."
This kind of thing still depends on the two parties involved. Zhang Lan has no feelings for Gu Xian now, so she decided to put the matter aside for the time being. Gu Xian has never mentioned it in front of her. She
Just pretend you don't know.
In the backyard of a certain Qingming residence, Zhang Lan looked at the young man in front of him who was so nervous that he couldn't speak smoothly. For a moment, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
I thought that Gu Xian would be disappointed and sad. After all, this was considered a shirk and a disguised rejection. Unexpectedly, Gu Xian smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes."
Even without her mother's request, Zhang Lan gradually took Gu Xian's place in her heart.
After marriage, Gu Xian would take Zhang Lan with him every time he went out. Zhang Lan was able to see a lot of scenery, which was more helpful for her in writing novels, so she wrote many good stories.
The wedding of the two was not a luxury, but it was warm and not shabby. After all, the Gu family's family background was so great.
He Xiu was even more anxious than the person involved, "But what? If you don't dare to go, then I will ask for you!"
The Gu family also had a lot of money to distribute wedding candies and cakes to the people passing by, so that it was still talked about many years later.
He Xiu smiled and nodded, "Okay, think about it carefully."
Zhang Lan has always had doubts in her heart. In her opinion, He Xiu and Gu Xian have more similar personalities, so she is surprised why the two don't admire each other, but Gu Xian likes her instead.
Zhang Lan, who had seemed calm at first, suddenly turned red, "Axiu, why are you here too?"
After sending He Xiu away, Zhang Lan thought a lot seriously.
Zhang Lan's heart was pounding, and he nodded as calmly as possible.
Zhang Landao: "It's not enough, Axiu, you're not married yet."
As for Zhang Lanniang and Gu Xian, there has never been any conflict at all.
Xiao Xixi was very surprised to meet a non-marriage person here, and she pulled He Xiu and chatted for a long time.
Their wedding was held in the capital, and all matters were handled by their aunt Gu, who had been in the capital for many years.
Her family background and background are completely incomparable to those of the Gu family.
"Why not? You have written so many stories, and I don't know how many people you have influenced, and you have inspired so many women in the world to start reading? You don't need to belittle yourself."
But she also has concerns. Gu Xian is Xiao Xixi's cousin, and the Gu family is the richest man in Pingzhou. Although she now makes a lot of money from writing books and owns many teahouses, these are nothing compared to the Gu family.
Gu Xian's parents also rushed to the capital to attend.
And because Gu Xian was married to Zhang Lan, he was even more determined to expand the teahouse.
He Xiu didn't take it seriously and said, "If you wait for me to get married, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until your hair turns white."
Zhang Lan saw that He Xiu didn't seem to be faking it, and his worries were relieved.
He has earned so much money that he will never be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes. There is no need to go out to make money at this time. It is more important to spend time with his wife.
Xiao Xixi said: "You must be confused now. My uncle and aunt do not have so many requirements for my cousin's marriage. And even if they do, you will not lose to the noble daughter of aristocratic family, okay? How many women in Da Chu can do that?
Comparable to your achievements?"
So he worked harder and finally successfully carried the beauty home.
Her hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and her heartbeat was unexpectedly fast.
Gu Xian occasionally left the capital to inspect other places and expand the tea house business.
Since they had to travel around a lot, the two of them were not in a hurry to have a baby, they just let nature take its own course.
With that said, he made a gesture to go.
However, Xiao Xixi would not ask Leng Moran like this. After all, his and Gu Xian's identities are different.
So when Xiao Xixi asked, Zhang Lan expressed her concerns.
Gu Xian took Zhang Lan seriously, and of course he could quickly detect subtle changes in his sweetheart.
Zhang Lan quickly stopped her, "No, let me think about it again."
Gu Xian asked cautiously: "Do you like me?"
Even if she and Gu Xian had feelings for each other, she didn't think the Gu family would agree.
As for He Xiu, Zhang Lan also tried to find a way to stabilize her temporarily.
Zhang Lan bit her lip and didn't know how to answer for a moment. She said, "This is not a trivial matter. I need to think about it carefully."
"Yes, it's very suitable." He Xiu hugged their necks intimately, and asked Zhang Lan in a low voice, "So, when can I drink the wedding wine between you and Gu Xian?"
Zhang Lan was stunned, obviously not expecting Gu Xian to like her.
Xiao Xixi looked at her, pursed her lips and asked with a smile: "So you mean, you also have my cousin in your heart?"
Just so confident!
After Zhang Lan gave birth to her daughter, she unlocked a new identity as a mother. After she experienced more life, the content of the storybooks she created expanded a lot, and at the same time, it attracted more readers who were also mothers.
Gu Xian also made full use of the speed to expand the teahouse and focused on his family. Even if he went out, he would not go there for too long. He was always thinking about Zhang Lan and his daughter at home.
A few years later, the two gave birth to their eldest son and second daughter, and they stayed together until old age.
