Chapter 141 Warning
"Plain clothes".
"Don't sigh about the dust and wind in your plain clothes, you can still get home by Qingming Festival."
The woman looked at Ye Wan, puzzled.
Ye Wan blushed instantly. "I don't read much, so just make do with this for now. I'll wait until you remember your name."
Ye Wan couldn't help but ask again, "Do you remember where your home is?"
"Home?" Su Yi's eyes were blank, and she didn't speak.
She seemed to only be able to speak a few simple words, and most of the time she appeared somewhat mentally challenged.
Hui Gu took the pulse of the woman in plain clothes and said, "She is not born mentally challenged; she must have suffered a head injury, which is why she is like this."
"Can this condition be cured?" Ye Wan felt that such a beauty must have an extraordinary background, so how did she end up here?
"It might get better, or it might stay like this for life." Huigu wasn't sure either; she wasn't a professional doctor, she had only learned the basics.
"Alright, let's leave the person here for now." Ye Wan wondered if the things in her space could heal the person.
"Madam, let her share a room with me tonight."
Ye Wan nodded.
She's not used to living with other people, so there must be a reason why Hui-gu said that.
It was getting late after dinner, so Huigu took Suyi to her room.
Once inside, Huigu took out a pair of slippers for her.
Then, in no time at all, they pieced together a small bed next to the table.
"You'll sleep in that bed tonight."
Su Yi walked to the spot pointed out by Hui Gu and sat down, seemingly testing its sturdiness.
Hui Gu scrutinized her for a while, her tone carrying a warning, "No matter where you come from, whether you're pretending to be stupid or you really are, the Madam is kind enough to keep you here. Don't get any funny ideas, or else ask the knife in my hand if it will allow it."
Su Yi acted as if she hadn't heard these words and lay down on the bed to sleep, fully clothed.
I didn't move at all throughout the night and slept soundly until dawn.
On the contrary, Hui-gu didn't sleep well, and her neck was a little sore the next morning.
Seeing that Su Yi had gotten up, she just sat there blankly on the bed without any reaction.
Huigu whispered to Ye Wan, "It seems she really isn't quite right in the head; it'll be difficult to find her family."
Ye Wan sighed, "Then let her put on some black makeup and stay home to do some chores."
Looking like that, you'll have a terrible time if you go out into the world.
"Madam is kind-hearted."
"Hui-gu, stop praising me. I want to practice swordsmanship with you today, and hopefully I can learn it in three days." Ye Wan felt that she still needed to know some martial arts so that she could save her life in a critical moment.
Hui Gu's lips twitched. This was a skill she had been practicing since she was a child, for fifty years.
"Second sister, wanna go play?"
Sanya got up, washed her face, and Yehua combed her hair before she wanted to run outside.
"No, I want to learn flower arranging from my grandmother." Er Ya said affectedly, pinching her pinky fingers.
Sanya said, "Don't bother learning it. It's useless anyway. You're not going to become a rich heiress."
"How could that be? Look at us when we were with Dad, you didn't even have shoes to wear. Now you're well-fed and out playing every day. Maybe I'll become a rich young lady." Er Ya dreamed.
Aunt Cai chuckled, "If you want to become a rich young lady, that's fine too. Once Lin Anyuan becomes an official, you'll be a rich young lady!"
Su Yi, who had just stepped out of the house, paused for a moment.
Ye Wan saw her come out and was about to speak when the village chief's wife, Zhao, arrived.
"Hey, Lin Anyuan's family, come quick and take a look. Is this the potato you were talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wan hurriedly followed Zhao Shi.
Hui Gu glanced at Su Yi and said, "Silly girl, give her something to eat. Don't give her anything too greasy at first, or her stomach won't be able to handle it."
Ye Hua came out of the kitchen. "I'll do it. Silly girl is practicing kung fu."
After saying that, Ye Hua took Su Yi to the kitchen.
"Have some porridge first." Ye Hua ladled a bowl of porridge for Su Yi.
The chicken congee was steaming hot and smelled delicious.
Su Yi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to speak.
Ye Hua quickly handed her a spoon, saying, "Drink slowly, there's still some left in the pot."
After saying that, she went to get busy. Su Yi drank her porridge, her eyes clearing for a moment.
...
...
"Where was this discovered?"
Ye Wan was thrilled as she held the little potato; it really was a potato.
“Zhang Erniu’s father brought it back from the mountains,” the village chief said. “I remember you inquired about this before, is this it?”
"It's this thing. It's just like a sweet potato, you can eat it. If I can grow it successfully, our whole village will have an extra source of income."
Ye Wan's mind was already filled with all sorts of thoughts: braised beef brisket with potatoes, shredded potatoes, potato noodles...
I don't know why we had sweet potatoes but not potatoes, but now we have potatoes too.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave it all to you." The village chief was also happy.
Previously, their village had a variety of surnames, making them seem inferior to other villages. Now, their Shenggou Village is unique in this regard, and he, as the village chief, is proud of it.
Ye Wan looked at Zhang Erniu's father, "Uncle Zhang, what's your opinion? You can sell this to me."
"No need, no need. This is just a weed to me. If Lady Ye can grow it, just give me some seeds."
After Zhang Erniu's father finished speaking, he lowered his head somewhat awkwardly, "Madam Ye, my son was ignorant before, and I, as his father, also..."
Ye Wan interrupted him, "What's past is past, let's not talk about it."
Ye Wan ignored Zhang Erniu simply because she didn't take him seriously.
She'll leave this place with her three maids sooner or later; they're just insignificant people, no need to pay them any mind.
Ye Wan took the potatoes home, planning to plant them in her spatial dimension first, so that she would have enough before planting them in the ground.
"Madam, we have news."
As soon as they arrived home, Huigu took Ye Wan aside and spoke in a low voice.
"Any news about Lin Anyuan?"
...
...
The capital city is truly dazzling and prosperous, at least that's what Lin Anyuan thought.
This was the first time he had ever been to the capital, and he had come with Chu Xiujie, carrying a mission.
"You know the purpose of this trip, that's enough. I'm leaving now." Chu Xiujie said, turning to go.
Having finally made it to Beijing, he wanted to go home and visit his family.
Lin Anyuan called out to him, "Wait a minute."
Chu Xiujie stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Lin Anyuan with a curious expression, "What are you doing? Don't tell me you can't bear to part with me."
Lin Anyuan frowned. "Aren't you disgusting? I don't have any money on me. Leave me some."
Chu Xiujie: "..."
Then, with a constipated expression, she looked at Lin Anyuan and said, "I remember the master rewarded you with a lot of money, right? You didn't bring any money with you when you went out on official business?"
