Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 362 Xiaohua! From now on, you are the prince's messenger
Coming out of the backyard, Du Wanwan handed the banknote to Ye Zhengqiu: "I don't know if two thousand taels is enough. Third uncle! Take it first, and come back to me if it's not enough."
Liang and Ye Zhengqiu both showed shock on their faces.
Two thousand taels?
Is it too much? Buying a house in the west of the city would cost about 1,000 taels, right?
Ye Zhengqiu looked at the banknotes in his hand and felt a little embarrassed: "With so much silver, I guess I can't spend it all. I'd better take less."
I have never borrowed money in my life. The more I borrow, the more anxious I feel.
Liang thought the same: "We won't buy a too big yard, just a little bigger than yours. Two thousand taels is really too much."
"How about this! You can take the banknotes first, and when the house is bought and everything is sorted out, you can return them to me if you can't spend them all." Du Wanwan's tone was very sincere, "Uncle San! You have to buy some tables, chairs, benches and so on to open a private school! It's not enough to just have a yard."
When she reminded him, Liang understood instantly: "Oh! That's right! Why didn't I think of it? Master! Then take it! Just in case."
“Hey!”
Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Ye Zhengqiu felt as if they were a thousand pounds heavy. He gave 150 taels of silver, and Zhongyuan's wife actually lent him 2,000 taels, not worrying that he would not be able to pay it back.
"Zhongyuan's wife! Thank you, Third Uncle. With this money, Third Uncle will no longer be idle in the future. Opening a private school is a way to make a living anyway."
"Uncle San! You're welcome. When you asked Aunt San to send the banknotes, my mother told us to remember Uncle San's help to our family. Now Uncle San wants to do something to make a living, and Wanwan has some spare money, so it's only right that he helps."
"That's different." Liang took Du Wanwan's hand and held it. "We only gave her money, but Wanwan gave us a way to make money. Third uncle and third aunt thank you for your advice. We're leaving now and we'll go to the pawnshop to have a look."
"Okay! Then take your time."
Du Wanwan sent Ye Zhengqiu and Liang out, then turned around and took Xiaohua out of the space.
Zamao had just finished drinking water and eating meat, and was squatting on the side taking a nap. When he saw Xiaohua, he was very excited.
"Unscrupulous master! Why did you take my daughter out? Who are you going to give her to? That abominable prince?"
"You're not happy?" Du Wanwan put the little flower on the ground, "You bastard! I gave the little flower to the prince for your sake. This way it will stay in the capital, and you and your daughter can see each other often.
If you don't agree, then I'll let your second child go? Or your third child? Your other daughter, Xiaobai, has gone with Chenchen."
At the beginning, Ye Tingxiao brought five falcon cubs, three males and two females. Du Wanwan did not give the males any names, but just called them the eldest, the second, and the third.
The eldest one was left to my uncle and is now in the Dongchen Palace. I don’t know whether my uncle gave it a name.
The two females were named, one was called Xiaobai and the other was called Xiaohua, and they were kept in the space.
She didn't think of releasing them, fearing that they would be caught in a net. There were all kinds of people in the capital, so she couldn't be careless.
The forest in the space was very large. We got some chickens and ducks in there for them to hunt, and fed them with spiritual spring water. With Yaya taking care of them, their intelligence improved a lot.
It is smarter than ordinary falcons, has better physical strength, and flies higher and faster.
Zamao stood beside Du Wanwan, tilted his neck and rolled his eyes at her: "Alright, alright! Let Xiaohua go. Those two guys can be sent farther away, it's good for Xiaohua to stay in the capital."
Du Wanwan also felt the same way: "This is something you agreed to. Don't accuse me of being unscrupulous later. Go in! Your Nana is waiting anxiously."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zamao was taken in by Yaya.
Du Wanwan found Aunt Hua, wrote a note, folded it into the shape of a "notice", and handed it to her together with Ye Tingxiao's letter.
"Send the little flower to the prince, and give him the letter in his mouth."
Aunt Hua nodded. Xiaohua was a little scared and trembled uncomfortably.
Du Wanwan reached out and picked it up, stroking its feathers: "Xiaohua! From now on, you will be the prince's messenger. You can come back to see your parents when you miss them. Just listen and remember who the prince tells you to send a letter to and how to send it."
Xiaohua nodded and replied in a baby voice: "Remember, will the prince have good drinking water and fresh chicken and duck? Master! If not, I will not stay at his house, I want to come back."
Du Wanwan, who was combing Xiaohua's feathers, thought for a moment and said, "How about this! If you really want the water at home, come back and drink it once. You are a gift from the master to the prince. From now on, he is your master. You can't be willful, understand?"
Xiaohua nodded pitifully and kept rubbing against Du Wanwan's arms: "Master! Do you have to go? Xiaohua doesn't want to go, I want to accompany you."
"No, you are the overlord of the blue sky, you must spread your wings and fly high into the sky."
Before Du Wanwan finished her words, Xiaohua instantly retorted: "My mother took me flying through the sky! We flew for a long time."
The sky of space?
Du Wanwan became interested: "What did you see when you were flying in the sky?"
"I didn't see anything." Xiaohua shook her head, "I only saw the blue sky and white clouds, nothing else."
Aunt Hua added: "Not only that, there are also houses, carriages, people, trees, cattle and sheep."
Xiaohua tilted her head and thought, "Really? Why didn't my mother and I see it? My second and third brothers didn't see it either."
"You'll see it when you go out with Aunt Hua later." Du Wanwan let go of Xiao Hua, "Go! Go to your new master, he will give you lots of delicious food."
"Really?" Xiaohua's brown eyes rolled around. "What will he give me? Live chickens and ducks?"
Du Wanwan coaxed it: "You'll find out when you get there. There are not only fresh chickens and ducks, but maybe even beef."
Xiaohua said seriously: "I don't eat beef, I only want fresh chicken and duck. If he doesn't have any, I will come back and not go to his house."
"You have to stay at his house even without you." Du Wanwan pretended to be sad and aggrieved, "I have raised you to this age, it's time for you to go out and work to support yourself. Master, I have to support your parents and two brothers, too.
When we find a suitable family, we will send your two brothers away, and just support your parents. We can’t afford to support more.”
Xiao Hua was immediately discouraged and started crying: "Master! Do we have to go to his place? Is it okay not to go? What should I do if I miss my parents?"
Aunt Hua comforted her: "Come back if you miss your parents. If you don't go, you may be sent to a farther place in the future. Xiaohua! You have to be obedient. The master has spent a lot of good things to raise us, so you have to work for the master."
"Okay! Got it." Xiaohua covered her face with her wings, looking heartbroken. "I'll go, I'll go."
Du Wanwan couldn't bear it, so she picked up Xiaohua and comforted her: "Just follow your new master obediently, he will treat you well. I don't know how rare it is for him to see you."
Xiaohua poked her head out from under the wings: "Really? He will like me? Will he treat me as well as you, Master?"
"Of course." Du Wanwan held Xiaohua and placed her in front of the People's Clinic, and gently told Aunt Hua, "Take it away!"
