Zhen Wanwan calculated the time and realized that it was indeed the season to pick durians.
This thing needs to be taken off as soon as possible; if it falls down on its own, it might injure someone.
She thought to herself that she would have to explain things to Uncle Wang in person later.
Before I even saw the person, someone came to my door.
Looking at the arrogant boy standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, Zhen Wanwan's lips twitched.
"It was you!"
Hua Yan looked at Zhen Wanwan more and more familiar with her. Wasn't she the village girl he had a conflict with in the county town that day?
He gaped in astonishment, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
Zhen Wanwan raised an eyebrow and waved her hand innocently: "It's me! What are you doing here?"
Hua Yan snorted coldly and turned her head away disdainfully.
"I'm here to find someone, of course! Go and call the owners of this estate out. Tell them I have something to discuss with them!"
It was obvious that Hua Yan mistook Zhen Wanwan for a servant in this manor who served his master.
She suddenly looked at herself with a lack of confidence.
Hmm... she's dressed quite simply...
Zhen Wanwan had a faint smile on her face, looking at the boy opposite her with a half-smile.
Rou'er, who was standing to the side, had long been fed up with Hua Yan's arrogant manner.
Her face flushed with anger, and she pointed at Hua Yan, yelling, "Where did this brat come from, daring to act so wildly in front of my wife? Let me tell you! The mistress of this manor is my wife!"
"If you dare roll your eyes again, I'll have you thrown out!"
Hua Yan was caught off guard and was startled by Rou'er's angry shouts.
He turned to look at Rou'er, following the sound, ready to retaliate.
But when he saw Rou'er's stunningly beautiful face, his face, which had been flushed with anger, turned into a blush of embarrassment.
When Rou'er saw him staring at her with wide eyes, the anger in her heart grew even stronger.
"Don't you believe me! We have plenty of people protecting us in this courtyard. If you dare to disrespect my wife again, you'll see if your head can take a beating!"
Hua Yan was only shy for a moment. After she realized what had happened, she felt like she had lost all face.
He was eager to prove himself and no longer paid attention to Zhen Wanwan and Rou'er.
"I won't bother with you! I'm a member of the Hua family, and I'm here to find my master! I'll leave once I find him!"
Zhen Wanwan thought that Hua Yan's master was a herbalist, and it had been three or four days before he finally came to her door.
Rou'er was unaware of the relationship between Hua Yan and Bai Cao Shi, and she repeatedly denied it, saying, "Your master is not here. Go back to where you came from."
Hua Yan frowned and said firmly, "Impossible! Someone saw my master inside!"
Seeing that Hua Yan looked a little anxious, Zhen Wanwan thought for a moment and decided to let Rou'er go in and tell the herbalist.
"Rou'er, go tell the master's junior brother that someone outside is looking for him and ask him to come out for a moment."
Rou'er blinked her big eyes, puzzled but still turned back to look for the person.
Seeing Rou'er leave, Hua Yan breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that someone had informed them.
His master was really something, sneaking out without telling him, making him think his master had been kidnapped.
Now look what's happened! He came to demand his return, only to be stopped at the door by the ignorant village girl.
Thinking of this, Hua Yan's face darkened, and he turned his gaze back to Zhen Wanwan.
This scrutinizing gaze made Zhen Wanwan very uncomfortable, and she glared at Hua Yan.
"This young master must be over ten years old, right? Didn't your parents teach you the meaning of respect? Is it really polite of you to stare at a married woman like that?"
Hua Yan was taken aback, then his face flushed slightly. He stammered, "Who...who looked at you!"
Just as Hua Yan was feeling extremely uneasy, the herbalist arrived in a hurry.
He followed slowly behind Rou'er, holding a bag of spicy strips in his hand, occasionally sticking out his tongue from the spiciness.
Hua Yan was overjoyed to see the herbalist and hurried forward, saying with a hint of resentment, "Master! I've been looking for you for ages!"
The herbalist licked his fingers, glanced at Hua Yan, and said calmly.
"What's wrong? You're still breastfeeding at such a young age? What do you want from me!"
He had no idea how great his life was here; food and lodging were provided, and he even had spicy snacks.
Hua Yan looked at Bai Caoshi in surprise, her face showing great disappointment.
Tears welled up as she looked at the herbalist, only to find that her master was only interested in eating a thin, soft piece of firewood of unknown origin.
The herbalist waved his hand impatiently, wanting to get rid of the person as soon as possible.
"I'm doing great here, you can go back now! Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary!"
"Master!"
Hua Yan couldn't help but shout loudly, startling Bai Caoshi.
He gave Hua Yan a resentful look, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"What is it now! You've already graduated and are a big kid now. Go do what you need to do and stop clinging to me."
Hua Yan sighed, realizing that he had never really had any tricks up his sleeve when it came to his master.
"Master, you're going to stay here without giving me a reason. How can I feel at ease leaving you here?"
Then Hua Yan secretly winked at Bai Caoshi, signaling him to wake up and not forget their purpose for coming here.
The herbalist licked his fingers and nodded nonchalantly: "I know!"
Seeing her master's unserious behavior, Hua Yan was both angry and anxious.
Zhen Wanwan silently watched the master and disciple in front of her. It was the first time she had seen Hua Yan looking so helpless.
I felt a little smug; what could I do? This kid was so arrogant.
After the two had finished chatting, Zhen Wanwan suggested, "Medical Master Baicao! You have many guest rooms at home, why don't you have your apprentice come and stay for a few days as well!"
The herbalist turned to look at Zhen Wanwan, then looked his apprentice up and down.
"Your sister-in-law said you can come and stay, are you coming..."
"I'll stay here!"
Before the herbalist could finish speaking, Hua Yan agreed.
He wanted to see what kind of magic this room held that would make his master willing to abandon him!
With a faint smile, Zhen Wanwan gestured for Rou'er to go back and instruct the servants to prepare a room.
Her desire to keep Hua Yan wasn't driven by a saintly heart, but rather by the fact that he was useful to them.
Hua Yan was the last disciple of the Herbalist, so his medical skills must be no less than his.
Now is the time when talent is needed, how could Zhen Wanwan bear to turn away useful people?
Warfare is prone to casualties, and if they have two skilled healers on their side, they can minimize the damage.
Moreover, when Anqing Prefecture develops, it will definitely need to attract a large number of people. With more people, the medical care system will also need to keep up.
She can't just feed them and not have any doctors to take them to see a doctor!
When her "Happiness Home" opens, promising free food, lodging, and medical treatment, won't the people treat her like royalty?
As Zhen Wanwan thought about her future life, she couldn't help but chuckle softly.
