The eldest brother looked up at his master again and saw that his master was eating with his head down and his expression was solemn.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk to our junior sister later. How about we bring Master to the capital for a few days? It'll be convenient since he's going to visit the second brother."
"good."
After their private conversation, the two began to eat seriously.
Xiao Qianqian didn't eat breakfast properly. She ate for a while, then looked up at her master and saw that the old man was still eating with his head down and hadn't eaten much of the vegetables. She stood up and put some vegetables on his plate. "Master, you should eat some vegetables."
The master saw the extra food in his bowl, then looked up and found everyone looking at him with worried eyes.
He then realized that he had been lost in thought and had worried everyone. He forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. Everyone, please eat. Don't worry, I was just thinking about something."
"Old man, I'm glad you're alright. Eat your food properly."
"good."
As soon as the master finished speaking, a chubby little hand reached out, holding a small steamed bun on chopsticks.
"Grandpa, eat." With a sweet voice, Yueyue blinked her dark grape-like eyes and looked at her master with a smile.
Seeing the obedient Yueyue, the master's heavy heart was instantly healed.
"Thank you, Yueyue, you eat too." Master said with a smile, looking at the adorable Yueyue.
"Mmm."
With Pistachio's lively presence, laughter and cheerful conversation returned to the dinner table, dispelling the previous dull and oppressive atmosphere.
"I have a suggestion. After dinner, let's all go and tend to the herbs. Consider it exercise," the eldest brother said.
“I agree, no problem,” the third senior brother said.
“I agree as well,” the fourth senior brother said.
“No problem.” Xiao Qianqian glanced at her senior brother.
"Me too, me too!" Pistachio raised his hand again.
"Great! Our lovely little princess is joining us too!"
"Me too." DouDou raised her hand as well.
"Yes, both of you little darlings will participate."
Everyone happily finished breakfast, and Xiao Qianqian and Ye Bosen took charge of cleaning up the dishes.
The senior disciples accompanied their master outside for a while, having tea.
Fourth Brother found two small water jugs in the room for Yueyue and Doudou.
"Later, your task, my two little darlings, is to water the plants. Do you know how?"
"Uncle, please demonstrate for us later, and we'll know how."
Xiao Qianqian and Ye Bosen worked for a while and finally finished washing the dishes.
They walked hand in hand into the yard.
"Thank you for your hard work," the senior brother said with a smile.
"Senior brother, what are you saying? You're being so polite when it's just a little work."
"Yes, yes, yes, senior brother, let's get to work."
"good."
"Your two senior brothers and I will be responsible for carrying water, and your family will be responsible for watering the plants. Is that alright?"
"No, that's all."
'good."
"Everyone, clear the weeds and prune the branches and leaves first, and then water it last."
"Okay, senior brother."
So the group arrived at the herb garden, where various herbs grew lush and green, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
The fourth senior brother first took a watering can and demonstrated to Yueyue and Doudou how to water the plants, and the two little ones learned very seriously.
The others each found an area to weed or prune branches.
As Xiao Qianqian tended to the herbs, she secretly glanced at Ye Bosen. Ye Bosen sensed her gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips, but his hands continued moving.
"What?" A gentle, deep voice asked.
"Are you tired?" Xiao Qianqian felt embarrassed, as she had made him do all the work for the past two days.
"Not tired at all, how could I be tired from this little thing?"
“Take care of this medicinal herb field is quite a lot of work. If you’re tired, just tell me.” Xiao Qianqian was still very considerate of him.
"Okay, I'll tell you if you're tired." After saying that, he raised his hand and squeezed her hand.
"Who usually takes care of this medicinal herb field? It seems to be well taken care of, and the herbs are growing very well."
"My senior brothers hired people to take care of us, and my eldest and third senior brothers also come to take care of us when they have time."
"I see." Ye Bosen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the medicinal herb field.
"Actually, there are quite a few rare medicinal herbs in this herb field."
Xiao Qianqian's eyes sparkled as she pointed to an inconspicuous spot in the corner, "Like the Ice Spirit Grass over there, it's very rare."
Ye Bosen looked in the direction she pointed and saw that the medicinal field was full of plants with long oval leaves, growing vigorously and clearly well taken care of.
What are the uses of this herb?
"It is mainly used to treat digestive and respiratory diseases. I plan to research a respiratory medicine next year, and this will be its main ingredient."
"That sounds impressive." Ye Bosen looked at Xiao Qianqian with doting eyes.
"However, this kind of ice spirit grass is quite delicate, and you have to be very careful when picking it."
Xiao Qianqian squatted down and gently stroked the leaves of the Ice Spirit Grass, as if it were a rare treasure.
Ye Bosen also squatted down and examined it carefully. "Then I'll come and help you when you gather herbs next year."
Xiao Qianqian looked up at him and said, "Okay."
The two were chatting away, one sentence after the other.
Just then, a cry of surprise rang out. It turned out that Dou Dou had accidentally tripped and fallen, spilling water from the water jug in his hand and wetting the herbs at his feet.
DouDou's eyes welled up with tears, thinking she had done something wrong.
The eldest brother quickly ran over to help Dou Dou up and comforted her, "It's okay, Dou Dou, don't be afraid of this little thing."
