Xiao Yunying wasn't angry at all; instead, she was amused by his childish behavior.
Chen Yuanxuan said to the old woman guarding the gate, "I'll take her in."
The old woman dared not contradict her master's young master and quietly stepped aside.
Xiao Yunying had no choice but to follow him.
On the way, Chen Yuanxuan couldn't help but take the initiative to talk to Xiao Yunying: "Have you seen a doctor? Why wasn't your wound bandaged?"
Xiao Yunying raised an eyebrow. Was this chubby boy concerned about her?
"I didn't go because my injury wasn't serious."
She looked in the mirror while showering in the morning. The wound was about the size of a soybean, with red swelling the size of a walnut around it and a slightly bluish edge. She didn't feel dizzy or nauseous, and didn't even have a mild concussion, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
If I had to pinpoint a physical ailment, it would be a stuffy nose, probably from catching a chill last night.
"Is it because we don't have enough silver?"
"no."
"Then why not go?"
"I don't want to drink that bitter medicine soup."
Xiao Yunying thought he would definitely laugh at her, but Chen Yuanxuan said in a low voice, "Yes, the medicine tastes terrible, I feel like throwing up just from the smell."
Then he looked up again: "But for the sake of my health, I can't not drink it. The doctor said that good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease."
Xiao Yunying was surprised that the chubby boy who always teased her would be so earnest in advising her. She smiled and said, "I understand. I will see a doctor if I feel unwell. Thank you for your concern."
"Who...who cares about you?"
Chen Yuanxuan quickened his pace and led Xiao Yunying directly to the kitchen.
Although Xiao Yunying didn't quite understand the rules of wealthy families, she remembered that the gatekeeper had said that outsiders were not allowed to enter the kitchen. Thinking it was better to avoid trouble, she said, "Could you please call the manager out for me? Thank you."
Chen Yuanxuan muttered a word of trouble, but still had Xiao Si call someone out.
When he saw his older brother come out with him, Chen Yuanxuan's "I am the young master of the Chen family" aura vanished instantly: "Brother, what are you doing here?"
Chen Yuancheng said, "Yesterday's food was a bit greasy, so I've come to instruct that today's dishes be lighter."
The kitchen manager stood by with his head down, not daring to speak. The young master's meals yesterday were the same as usual, all light and not too greasy.
Moreover, when the eldest young master was talking in the old lady's room, he heard me say that I had found the girl who sent the snow fungus last time, so he came over without saying anything or mentioning that the food was greasy.
The eldest son wouldn't think that he was using the purchase of snow fungus to line his own pocket, would he?
Honestly, I dare not say anything else, but I guarantee that I am completely innocent about the snow fungus incident. Last time, I settled the money and goods in front of the young master.
Chen Yuancheng asked, "Miss Xiao, how did you get your head injured?"
Xiao Yunying put down her basket, and then she had to explain again.
Chen Yuanxuan answered before she could: "She said she fell while washing clothes by the river yesterday. Because she didn't want to take medicine, she hasn't seen a doctor yet and has just left her wound open. Brother, please tell her about it."
Xiao Yunying was speechless. How could she have heard the chubby boy's words implying that he was complaining?
Chen Yuancheng said, "Miss, Yuanxuan is right. We can't avoid seeing a doctor just because the medicine tastes bad. If the wound doesn't heal properly, it will leave a scar."
Xiao Yunying didn't really care about scarring. Modern medicine couldn't guarantee that a wound wouldn't leave a scar, so she had even less confidence in the medical level of ancient times.
Xiao Yunying did not directly refuse the other party's kindness, but politely said, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Chen. I will go see a doctor."
Xiao Yunying handed the snow fungus directly to the kitchen manager. After ordering the snow fungus, the manager glanced cautiously at his young master and asked in a low voice, "What's the price..."
"Don't worry, Auntie, the agreed price won't change. It will still be eight taels per plant."
She told the kitchen manager that her family had some snow fungus and were waiting for her at the city gate. She would deliver it to them, and the manager agreed to put on a show to provoke the rich but foolish young master Tang into buying her snow fungus at a high price.
With Chen Yuancheng's permission, the kitchen manager counted the amount of snow fungus and went to get the silver notes for Xiao Yunying.
Chen Yuancheng whispered a few words to his servant, who then withdrew. He then asked Xiao Yunying, "Miss Xiao, has the price of snow fungus changed?"
"No."
Xiao Yunying was worried that Chen Yuancheng would misunderstand that she and the steward were having an affair, so she recounted what had just happened.
Chen Yuancheng frowned: "The Tang family?"
He spent most of his time in the mansion and rarely went out, so he was not very familiar with the powerful and wealthy families in the city.
Xiao Yunying remarked that good-looking people look good even when they frown.
