Chapter 144 A Very Long Dream
When Su Yi walked out, everyone in the courtyard held their breath.
She is so beautiful that it's almost unbearable to look at her directly; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is a celestial being descended to earth.
“She’s even prettier than my dad.” Er Ya cupped her hands to her heart and whispered, “If I could look like that in this life, I’d die happy.”
Ye Wan patted Er Ya, "You're not allowed to say those things again. You're so young, why are you talking about death? You'll grow up to be a little beauty."
The moment the tattoo was completed, Ye Wan held her breath.
It took Huigu a while to find her voice, "It doesn't matter if the village looks like this, but you should still cover up when you go out."
Even among the wealthy and noble ladies she had ever met, none possessed such beauty.
If this were in the capital...
Hui Gu shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts.
Su Yi reached out to touch her brow, but Ye Wan grabbed her hand.
"Don't touch it, it won't hurt in a few days. The hard times are over, and you'll be reborn with only good days ahead."
While speaking, he took advantage of Su Yi's inattention and stuffed a piece of dried fruit he had dried into her mouth.
"Is it sweet?" Ye Wan asked with a smile as she looked at Su Yi.
Su Yi couldn't help but smile, looking at Ye Wan with tender eyes, "Sweet."
What she really wanted to say was that it didn't hurt, not at all.
A beauty like that, if she just frowns, should be offered everything.
"Good heavens, my heart can't take even one more look. Aunt, please check my pulse, am I sick?" Ye Wan clutched her chest and went to help Aunt Hui.
Huigu pretended to take her pulse and said, "Madam, this is lovesickness. You miss your husband, don't you?"
"Nonsense, I can't think of Lin Anyuan right now. My heart and eyes are only for my beautiful woman in plain clothes."
Everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.
Su Yi slightly raised her eyes; the sunlight was a bit too bright, making her want to cry.
She seemed to have a very long dream. When she woke up, her Yuan'er already had a wife and children. How wonderful.
...
...
By the end of June, the potatoes had already formed.
On a sweltering day, Ye Wan lay in the ditch, dug out a potato the size of a fist from the soil, and shouted happily, "Silly girl, quickly get me a basket."
"This doesn't look like a sweet potato, how do you eat it?" The silly girl picked up the potato and smelled it, but it didn't seem to have any flavor.
Ye Wan was in a great mood. "I can eat it however I want. I can make a hundred different ways to eat it for you."
Of all the dishes, potatoes are the only one she never gets tired of eating.
The words had barely left her mouth when the silly girl took a big bite... "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
"Hahaha, I forgot to mention one thing: it's not good to eat raw." Ye Wan found it amusing to see the silly girl's pale face.
"Madam, please move aside so I can have this."
"No, no, it's not harvest time yet. Many of them haven't grown up yet. It would be a waste if you came."
Ye Wan dug up a basketful, enough for the whole family to eat, so she stopped digging and let the rest grow.
The sun was blazing, and Ye Wan, carrying a basket, looked at the green hills in the distance.
I remember this time last year, Lin Anyuan bought her at the market, and now it's been a year since she came here.
"Lady Ye".
A horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of her house.
Baozi was driving the carriage, while Yantai and Liu Wenshu jumped down from the carriage.
"Young Master Liu, you're back?" Ye Wan was somewhat surprised to see Liu Wenshu.
Liu Wenshu looked much thinner.
"I passed the exam, third place in the first class. I'm back to visit my family, and I'll be going back to the capital soon."
He didn't know why, but the first person he wanted to see upon returning was actually Lady Ye.
"Congratulations, young master Liu, on your brilliant journey and dashing appearance!" Ye Wan was overjoyed.
It's good that Liu Wenshu passed the imperial examination; it would be best if he could return to Minxian County to serve as an official in the future.
"Young master, take a handkerchief to wipe your sweat." Yantai saw that his young master was covered in sweat and took a handkerchief from the carriage.
Upon smelling the fragrance, Liu Wenshu instinctively looked away. "Well, Yantai, why do you have a woman's handkerchief on you? Are you having an affair with some woman behind my back?"
"I'm innocent! This was prepared for you by Sister Lü'er."
His young master eventually bought the small courtyard and asked the Liu family for Greenie to help him when he left.
Although the head maid of the Liu household didn't say anything, her expression didn't look good.
Seeing Ye Wan's "I understand" expression, Liu Wenshu subconsciously explained, "No, it's the maidservant who serves me, just like you..."
He was halfway through his sentence when he realized he shouldn't compare a maid to Lady Ye.
Ye Wan immediately understood that young masters from noble families all had maids in their rooms, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Madam Ye, what are you growing in this area? I don't think I've ever seen them before." Young Master Liu saw the potatoes behind the house.
"Potato."
"Potatoes? Beans from the ground?"
Ye Wan asked him to watch the basket.
"Can this be eaten?" Liu Wenshu asked curiously.
"I can eat it." Ye Wan said, moving closer to the shade of the tree. In this sweltering heat, didn't Young Master Liu feel hot standing under the sun?
"Young master, I'm hungry. Let's go back and eat." Yantai's stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
Liu Wenshu glared at him.
"Young master, I'm telling the truth. Aren't you hungry?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Wenshu's stomach rumbled.
My face felt hot.
"If it's convenient for you, Young Master Liu, please stay for a simple meal. Congratulations on passing the imperial examination." Since Ye Wan wanted to curry favor with someone powerful, she was naturally prepared to do so.
Is this... convenient?
Liu Wenshu noticed that it seemed like a new house had been built in the courtyard.
"Fine, Sanya, go to the school and call your grandfather back. Tell him we have guests." Ye Wan shouted to Sanya, who was playing with insects.
Sanya picked up her little black dog and ran.
Liu Wenshu's lips twitched when he saw the large black worm in Sanya's hand.
"Young Master Liu, please sit in the courtyard for a while. My father will be back soon."
Seeing that Liu Wenshu was sweating profusely, Ye Wan pointed to the table in the yard.
Liu Wenshu wanted to ask more questions, but Lady Ye had already gone into the kitchen.
Ye Hua brought out three cups of tea.
After Liu Wenshu finished drinking, he instantly felt much cooler.
The renovated courtyard has a very idyllic rural feel.
"Who goes there?" Baozi suddenly asked.
When Ye Wan came out, she saw that it was Hongmei from the village, who had come to find Er Ya.
"Hongmei, what brings you here? Come on, let's go outside and talk."
There were guests in the courtyard, so Er Ya took Hong Mei outside to a tree where no one was around.
Even though no one could be seen anymore, Hongmei was still staring at the carriage.
"Er Ya, is that Young Master Liu?"
"Yes, Young Master Liu passed the imperial examination and came back to visit his family." Er Ya touched her hair, which Aunt Su Yi had styled for her, and it looked beautiful.
It's a pity that Aunt Suyi doesn't like to talk, doesn't go out, and doesn't respond when you call her "aunt".
"Er Ya, Er Ya, I'm asking you a question!"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Er Ya looked at Hong Mei, snapping out of her daze.
Hongmei blushed and hesitated, "Erya, I want to go and thank Young Master Liu for saving my life. Can you take me there?"
