Chapter 282 The Tale of Two Blessings
Shuangfuji's food was served quickly, in about fifteen minutes. The roast duck and several side dishes were served, and the waiter wisely closed the door so as not to disturb them any further.
The duck meat had been sliced into thin slices. Xiao Qi used his chopsticks to roll one up and handed it to Lin Yuesha, saying, "Eat it while it's hot and see if it suits your taste."
The duck meat is wrapped in several sauces, some sweet and some savory. Lin Yuesha believes that sweet bean sauce is the perfect match for roast duck.
The roast duck has a crispy skin that isn't greasy, and the meat is tender with no gamey smell. It's just as good as the most famous roast duck restaurant today.
Because she was hungry, Lin Yuesha ate ravenously, nodding frequently.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that his little sister might do something rash.
Chen's idea wasn't entirely wrong, but her actions were inappropriate. However, since the two were mother and daughter, Lin Yuesha couldn't be too capricious.
Xiao Chenggui couldn't persuade her, so he had to step in. His intention was to help his younger sister think more positively and let the matter pass.
"Delicious, really delicious!"
Lin Yuesha ate several small pancakes in a row, and then specifically ate the duck frame, using both hands to her heart's content.
"Brother Yun, why aren't you eating?"
Lin Yuesha urged the pockmarked man to hurry up while eating, then buried herself in her food. The little bit of sadness in her heart was insignificant in the face of delicious food; she didn't even want to be sentimental.
"You look worried; have you encountered something troublesome?"
Xiao Qi slowly ate a small rolled pancake. Although the roast duck was delicious, it wasn't as good as the fried meat his younger sister had marinated last night.
The items in the shop can be bought with money, but the things the little sister makes are not commonly seen and require a lot of effort.
"yes."
Lin Yuesha sighed softly. Because of the beating, the joy of acquiring a new estate had vanished.
"Brother Yun, do you think it's my fault?"
Lin Yuesha was very distressed about this. She was a very sensible person, but her mother didn't believe her.
"That's right."
No matter who's wrong, my little sister can't possibly be wrong.
Chen was so ruthless; she didn't even know if her younger sister was swollen. Xiao Qi felt a little sorry for her.
"But my mother hit me."
Having been beaten so badly for the first time, Lin Yuesha hung her head again, looking gloomy and miserable.
"Or, you'll beat her up too?"
Xiao Qi touched the skin; it was very good and adhered well, so it wouldn't give anything away.
"What?"
Lin Yuesha was shocked. What kind of values were these? Even if she was beaten, she would never hit back because the other person was her mother.
"So there's no use in you looking down, because you're a daughter."
Even if you've been wronged or mistreated, you have to accept it and wait for Chen to figure things out and admit her mistake. As for a cold war, there's no need for that.
Gambling is definitely not the right path; it's best to avoid it in the future.
With just a few words, the pockmarked man resolved Lin Yuesha's troubles. Indeed, what he said made sense; though the words were rough, the principle was sound.
She was too stubborn. When Chen questioned her, she should have shamelessly admitted her mistake and acted coquettishly, so that she wouldn't have been beaten.
Lin Yuesha is stubborn by nature, and sometimes she likes to grit her teeth and endure things on her own.
After figuring it out, she enjoyed the roast duck even more, ordered a pot of appetizing hawthorn juice, and started gnawing on the duck carcass.
There wasn't much meat on the duck carcass, but the salt and pepper flavor was excellent.
“Brother Yun, I was worried that you were in danger because you didn’t see me off last time.”
When Lin Yuesha spoke of this matter, her voice couldn't help but carry a hint of resentment.
If she hadn't spent time with Yuwen Kun, she wouldn't have known that people could be so perverted. He looked decent enough, but he was a lunatic.
"I've been busy with other things and can't get away."
Xiao Qi offered a brief explanation, saying that he didn't really want to bring up the barbarians.
Seeing this, Lin Yuesha didn't ask any further questions. Everyone has secrets, and it wouldn't be good for her to pry too much.
However, she had to admit that her mood immediately improved after seeing him, and she felt like she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It didn't matter if he didn't say anything, Lin Yuesha talked on and on about the changes in her family recently. Fortunately, the two of them met. On the first day of the fourth lunar month, she was going to the girls' school to learn etiquette.
"This is a good thing."
Xiao Qi nodded and took a sip of tea.
"Brother Yun, do you also think that restricting women in this way is a good thing?"
Putting everything else aside, they don't even let her eat her fill, which is really disheartening. She's at the stage of development and needs nutrition.
"It's not a constraint; as the saying goes, having many skills is never a burden."
In crucial moments, the skills you've mastered may come in handy. As for etiquette and rules, you may not need to use them, but you should learn them.
At least I've learned how to handle different people with ease, and how to prevent them from making mistakes.
As for what happens in private, nobody knows.
"Brother Yun makes a lot of sense."
The logic is that simple, but Lin Yuesha realized that she was being a bit extreme, always thinking about restraint without considering what benefits she could gain.
Just like the skill Dr. Yan wants to teach in identifying medicinal herbs, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others. If she really marries a noble person, mastering this skill will be a life-saving charm.
Through the screen, Bai Cha listened intently to their conversation. Finding nothing out of the ordinary, she finally picked up her chopsticks. It wasn't that she lacked resolve, but following her mistress meant she would get to eat meat, and it was incredibly delicious.
Inside the room, half an hour later, Lin Yuesha had eaten and drunk her fill.
She wanted to ask where the pockmarked man lived, but felt it was inappropriate to inquire so abruptly.
The thought that their meetings were entirely random and serendipitous, and that they didn't know when they would see each other again, filled her with a slight sense of melancholy.
"I've been in the prefectural city recently."
Xiao Qi glanced at the sky; it wasn't dinnertime yet. He decided to take the little girl out for a walk to clear her head.
"Would you like to go for a walk?"
It's almost the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and the wildflowers on the mountain are blooming. You can pick a bunch and put them in a vase at home.
I heard there are wild boars in the surrounding mountains. Why not hunt one? Last night, Xiao Qi heard his little sister talking about wanting to eat braised pork with dried green beans.
"think!"
Lin Yuesha immediately agreed, but it wouldn't be convenient for the two of them to go out, so whether or not to bring white tea was a question.
"Take it with you."
That maid is very protective of her master; if she isn't taken along, she'll hold a grudge.
Moreover, the hunting location was chosen to be a village near Bai Cha's home, allowing Bai Cha to go home and talk to her parents while the two of them went up the mountain. This arrangement was just right.
"Miss, but there are wild animals near my house."
Bai Cha was terrified. She wanted to go home to see her parents and younger brother, but there were wild animals in the nearby mountains that had even bitten off a villager's leg, making it dangerous to go into the mountains.
"It's alright, Brother Yun is skilled in martial arts, and besides..."
Besides, this wasn't her first time in the mountains. Lin Yuesha still blushed when she thought about the misunderstanding at the cabin. However, she wouldn't say anything, lest she misunderstand and cause more misunderstandings.
Lin Yuesha went into the mountains to hunt and relax. After she caught some wild boar meat, she planned to bring some home for Chen Shi and, while she was at it, apologize to her mother and make peace with her.
