Chapter 123: Brothers First, Husband and Wife Later
After taking a casual look, Ye Yi shook his head: "I didn't see it, master! Don't listen to Ye Er's nonsense, you are not nervous."
Ye Er: "???"
I am not talking nonsense. The master clearly looks nervous, very nervous. Are you blind and can't you see that?
Ye Tingxiao: “!!!!”
No, I was nervous and my heart was beating uncontrollably, but on the surface I couldn't tell that it was all fake.
He didn't know what he was nervous about, he was just afraid to see Wanwan, afraid that she would dislike him, and even more afraid that she would be angry when she saw him.
Last night, he said those words to her without realizing it, and he couldn't sleep all night. He didn't deliberately take her medicine to deceive people, he just didn't want to go against his own heart.
Obviously, the person he likes is her, so why would he marry someone he doesn't like? Wouldn't it be better to call it off?
Yes, his reputation was ruined, but so what? It just saved him from malicious women trying to take advantage of him, isn't that good?
Why can’t Wanwan understand?
He swore that he would not have three wives and four concubines, and would only want her for his whole life, so why did she not believe him? Why was she willing to be his brother but not his wife?
Then he should take a step back and be brothers first and husband and wife later, is that okay?
With this thought in my mind, I kept thinking about how to say it out loud and whether I would be beaten by Du Wanwan if I said it.
I was struggling and thinking deeply, and before I knew it I could feel my heart pounding, my palms were sweating, and I was feeling nervous.
Du Wanwan was still dressed as a man, but she had changed her long robe into a short top. Knowing that Ye Tingxiao would come in the evening, she sent everyone out of the house.
She bakes the lamb intestines in a pan, and has to bake them to a certain temperature and maintain a certain humidity to separate them into thin threads.
Catgut sutures wounds, so there is no need to remove the stitches. It is the best suture material at present, but the process is more complicated.
But it didn't matter. She took her time, and once she had mastered the timing and made the thread, she would write a summary and give it to the military doctors. After reading it, they would know how to make it.
Her parents listened to her very much and told them to go into the house to rest and not to disturb them. Even Du Wenjun, who was cooking the marinade, was driven away by her.
She was afraid that Ye Tingxiao would come and say all those nonsense to her again and her parents would hear it, so she made sure her eyes would glow green and she would stare at him without moving her eyes away.
She was already eighteen years old, which was considered an "old leftover woman" in ancient times. It was so hard for her to hear a man say he wanted to marry her, and her parents couldn't help but wait anxiously.
But she didn't want to get married. Why did a woman have to get married? Isn't it cool to live alone for a lifetime? She was a modern person, so she could understand. Her parents were ancient people after all, so they probably couldn't understand her thoughts.
The best way is to prevent them from meeting Ye Tingxiao, so that they won’t have the chance to hear his nonsense.
There was a small door left open in the clinic. Ye Yi, holding water bags in both hands, walked in first, followed closely by Ye Er.
Ye Tingxiao was the last one to enter the house. After looking around, he saw that there was no one in the pharmacy. Ye Yi went to the backyard, and Ye Er followed him. He also followed.
"Du Dalang! We are here!" Ye Yi shouted loudly.
Ye Er glared at the back of his head: "Why are you yelling? You should be polite to Miss Du. Didn't you say that you obey her? You obey her, but why are you so rude?"
Ye Yi laughed, "Hehehe, that's just my personality. Du Dalang knows it. No need to be sissy."
Ye Er was speechless: "You don't need it, but Miss Du is a girl after all. You are so carefree, aren't you afraid of being disliked?"
After saying this, he kindly gave Ye Yi a wink, asking him to pay attention to the master following behind him.
But Ye Yi didn't understand, and asked him: "What's wrong with your eyes? Why are you blinking all the time? Is there dust?"
Ye Er was completely speechless, then he gritted his teeth and growled: "You are the one with the dust in your eyes."
I have never seen such a stupid person. He stays with the master all day long. Can't he see that the master is deeply in love with Miss Du?
For her sake, he even told such a lie, how could he not see it?
Hearing the voice, Du Wanwan poked her head out from the kitchen: "Ye Yi! Ye Er! Come here."
"Du Dalang!"
"Miss Du!"
The names Ye Yi and Ye Er are very distinct, and you can tell who is calling them just by hearing them.
After entering the kitchen, they saw the goat intestines in the pot. They were very surprised, especially Ye Yi, who pointed at the pot and said, "Du Dalang! Are you cooking something?"
Ye Er slapped his outstretched hand and said, "What nonsense! How can you do this if you eat?"
There was no oil or salt, no frying, stir-frying or stewing. He dared to conclude that the food in Miss Du's pot was definitely not for eating.
Sure enough, the next second Du Wanwan answered Ye Yi: "This is not edible, I am making catgut."
Ye Tingxiao, who came in a little later, was very excited: "Cat gut? Wanwan! Is it ready?"
Wanwan? Calling her so intimately?
Ye Yi finally realized what Ye Er meant by blinking his eyes. He was reminding him not to neglect Du Dalang. Maybe he would become the master's wife in the future.
If the master really married Du Dalang, it would be a very happy thing. The master is handsome, has good martial arts, a good family background, is brave, resourceful and smart, and is a perfect match for Du Dalang.
Although Du Dalang is a girl from the village, she has excellent medical skills and can also develop weapons. She can help them quickly improve their internal strength. She is many times stronger than those ladies from wealthy families in the capital.
The daughter of the Minister of Rites is simply a fickle woman. She hasn't even broken off the engagement with her master yet, but she dared to cuddle with the Prince of Qi in a teahouse. It was truly disgraceful.
Ye Yi simply looked down on that kind of mistress, who was too unfaithful to her husband.
Du Dalang is going to become the mistress, so he must build a good relationship with her, as he will need her to rely on him a lot in the future, right?
After hearing Ye Tingxiao's address, Du Wanwan looked unhappy: "Please call me Du Dalang!"
Yetingxiao paused, then smiled helplessly: "Okay! Du Dalang! Is your catgut almost ready?"
"Yes! It will be ready tonight." Du Wanwan pointed to the water tank beside the pot and told Ye Yi and Er, "The water is all there. It's all yours in a big tank. Fill it up quickly!"
"Thank you! Du Dalang!"
After saying this, Ye Yi picked up the water scoop beside him and took a few gulps before filling the water bag he brought with him. His movements were very slow, for fear of accidentally spilling it.
Ye Er did the same, he drank a few sips first, then squatted down and filled the water bag carefully, not daring to be careless. The holy water was too precious, so he had to be careful.
If all the brothers drank this water, their physical endurance would be stronger than others, and they would consume energy more slowly than ordinary people. This is what they have experienced personally.
The good things that the master has begged for time and time again must not be wasted.
Ye Tingxiao watched Du Wanwan roasting goat intestines in the pot. Seeing that she wanted to add more firewood, he immediately volunteered: "I'll do it! How big should the fire be?"
