The breeze blew on her face, and many small flowers bloomed in the garden. The scenery was much more beautiful than in winter. While Yu Jiao was teaching Tao Ge'er how to fly a kite, she sent Bai Lu to the East Garden to find Yao Yu. Recently, Madam Liu had locked her up in the yard to learn how to be a housekeeper. She had complained to Yu Jiao many times that it was a pity to stay in the house on such a warm spring day.
There were high walls all around and the wind in the garden was not very strong. Yu Jiao asked Tao Ge'er to hold the kite and she pulled the string. The two of them ran while letting out the string. After a long time of struggling, they finally got the kite to fly.
Looking at the kite flying high, Tao Geer was delighted and shouted with a smile, "Third sister, the kite is flying!"
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Yu Jiao's forehead. She lowered her head and gave the reel to Tao Ge'er, letting Tao Ge'er play with the string by himself.
Bai Lu brought a pot of tea and placed it on the stone table in the pavilion. She said to Yu Jiao, "The eldest lady and her brother-in-law are here. The second lady is in the East Garden with the eldest lady. Madam asked you to go to the East Garden later."
Yu Jiao nodded and sat down in the pavilion. Some time ago, Pingliang Prefecture received a letter from Madam Liu, asking people to send a lot of Cistanche deserticola over. She adjusted the prescription for Cui Mubai, but kidney yang deficiency was difficult to treat, so it would not be easy for Liu Yaozhen to have a child.
Tao Ge'er was running around the garden with his face raised. Yu Jiao had a great time playing with him in the garden. Noticing beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, she took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, and asked Cuizhu to take him back to the yard to change clothes. Yu Jiao went to the East Garden by herself.
Yu Jiao left the west wing and walked a short distance with Jianjia when they saw two people standing and talking at the gate of Yingsong Courtyard. One of them was Wei Lichu, who handed a few paper packages to the other person.
Yu Jiao walked closer and saw that the other person was her eldest brother-in-law Cui Mubai. He looked much better and looked more energetic than before. Yu Jiao greeted him.
Seeing Yu Jiao coming over, the two stopped talking. Cui Mubai first calmly hid the paper bag in his sleeve, then turned around and said gently and politely, "Third sister, are you going to Dongyuan?"
Yu Jiao nodded and her eyes fell on Wei Lichu standing beside her. She was somewhat suspicious whether he had used the elixir to deceive his elder brother-in-law.
Wei Lichu has not been staying in the mansion much these days. He is often missing. I don't know if he has resumed his old business in the capital and is selling his pills outside.
Being stared at by Yu Jiao, Wei Lichu said with a smile, "I heard that your silly bird was taken away? I still have many new words that I haven't had time to teach it!"
When Yu Jiao heard this, she thought of the cockatoo that had been taught by him to keep saying stinky things in its mouth. Uncle Liu Zhen was right. When it comes to being absurd and out of tune, no one can compare to this cousin Li Chu.
"That's someone else's bird. It's not good to let my cousin continue to harm it." Yu Jiao said.
Wei Lichu sighed and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll buy one myself tomorrow." He stretched lazily, facing the sunlight, and said with emotion, "Such good weather is really suitable for catching up on sleep."
Yu Jiao then noticed that there was a faint dark circle under his eyes, and she wondered what he did that night.
"Then I won't disturb my cousin Wei's good sleep." Cui Mubai said with a smile, and looked at Yu Jiao, "Third sister, let's go to Dongyuan together."
The two of them headed towards the East Garden together. Yu Jiao reminded him, "Although cousin Li Chu is good at refining pills, all pills are poisonous. It's better for ordinary people to take less pills."
Cui Mubai was slightly startled, then he understood. He rubbed the paper bag hidden in his sleeve with his fingers, and used a little force with his fingertips to hide the paper bag deeper. He smiled and said, "Third sister reminded me that I was just very curious about the miraculous elixir that was passed on to the outside world, so I asked Li Chu for a few."
