Chapter 134, Different
"Did I say something wrong?" Daohua asked Xiao Yeyang in a low voice.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her speechlessly and replied in a low voice: "Your elder brother is right. You should read less idle books in the future and stop talking about beauties all the time."
Daohua suddenly realized that this was the reason. However, she soon said with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with talking about beauties? Everyone loves beauty. I don't believe that if you see a beauty, you won't take a second look."
Then she thought about what she had just said: "I didn't say anything excessive, is there any need to be like this?"
Now it was Xiao Yeyang's turn to open his mouth, not knowing what to say. He was silent for a long time: "Anyway, you should stop saying these things in front of outsiders in the future."
Daohua curled her lips. She knew this was ancient times, and while some of the things she said were trivial, the ancients didn't think so. She said sullenly, "I'll pay attention next time."
Seeing Daohua suddenly fall silent, Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment and said, "Of course, I don't mind these. You can say whatever you want to me."
Hearing this, Defu glanced at his grandfather and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he raised his neck again and began to look up at the sky.
He found that whenever the eldest daughter of the Yan family was around, he seemed to look at the sky more often!
Seeing Xiao Yeyang comforting her, Daohua smiled, tilted her head, and whispered to Xiao Yeyang: "My eldest brother is like this, mature and prudent, full of etiquette and rules. I don't even dare to joke in front of him."
Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement: "Indeed, your eldest brother is not as fun as your fourth brother."
Zhou Chengye noticed the atmosphere was somewhat subdued and immediately stepped forward to liven it up: "This troupe is the most popular Shuangxi Troupe in Zhongzhou Province. They are very popular with everyone. It is said that every time they perform in the hall, seats are always hard to come by."
"In order to celebrate my grandfather's birthday this time, our family put a lot of effort into inviting this troupe."
Daohua was curious: "Are all opera troupes so popular?"
Xiao Yeyang: "A troupe with famous actors is like this. This Shuangxi Troupe has two famous actors. One is the beauty you just mentioned, who seems to be called Anxi, and the other is called Ningxi."
"These two have great singing skills, good figures, and good looks, so they're very popular!"
Rice Flower: "How do you know so clearly?"
Xiao Yeyang: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, my uncle hosted a banquet for officials from Zhongzhou Province and also invited this Shuangxi Troupe. I heard about it."
Daohua nodded and asked no more questions.
At this time, Zhou Jingwan arrived with her maids carrying tea and snacks.
"What is this?" Daohua looked at the Zhou family's pastries curiously. They smelled delicious.
Xiao Yeyang pushed the plate towards her: "This is bird's nest cake, you can eat it!"
Daohua's expression brightened: "Bird's nest, then I must try it." Then, he picked up a piece and started eating, "Mm, it's not bad, you try it too!"
Seeing Daohua eating so sweetly, Xiao Yeyang also took a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully. Seeing Daohua pick up another piece, he asked, "Do you like this?"
He felt that the taste was not as good as the pastries he had eaten at Daohua's house last time.
Daohua nodded: "The main reason is that I haven't eaten bird's nest yet."
Xiao Yeyang was silent: "If you like to eat it, I will ask someone to send you some. I also have the best blood swallows. I don't like to eat that stuff, so I'll give it all to you."
Daohua hesitated and said, "This is not good. Why do I feel like I am always taking your things?" As she said that, she touched the pocket watch in her arms. She had taken this and had not yet returned the gift.
Defu: Be more confident. It’s not just a feeling, it’s indeed the case.
Xiao Yeyang didn't really care: "I'm not going to eat it anyway, so it's a waste to just leave it there."
Defu: He won’t waste it, he keeps it well.
Daohua was silent for a moment. She knew that the blood swallows in Xiao Yeyang's hand must be the kind that could not be bought outside. It would definitely be good to use them to nourish her grandmother and mother.
But I'm taking other people's things for nothing.
After thinking for a while, Daohua whispered to Xiao Yeyang, "Do you want ginseng?" Among the medicinal herbs grown in her space, ginseng is the most expensive.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yeyang looked over immediately, and even Defu lowered his head to look at Daohua.
"It's the one I gave you last time. I still have it in my hand." Daohua raised the index finger of her right hand, and then thought that she hadn't returned the pocket watch yet, so she raised her middle finger as well.
"I have two more, I'll give them both to you!"
Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers in silence for a while: "Is it still fresh?"
Daohua shook her head: "No, I prepared it." The last time she gave Xiao Yeyang fresh ginseng, it was because she didn't have enough time. If she gave him fresh ginseng again this time, he would doubt the origin of the ginseng.
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Can you make it?"
Daohua immediately sat up straight: "Of course I can, I have read many medical books."
Xiao Yeyang was speechless. How could a ten-year-old girl have read a book on medicine? He was sure that Daohua must have been messing around again. He wondered if she had ruined the ginseng.
Speaking of ginseng, he thought of medicinal bath bags, so he asked, "Did you make the medicinal bath bags you gave to Yan Wentao and the others yourself?"
"Of course, isn't it very useful?" Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with a proud face, and said proudly in her heart, even if you are a royal family member, the medicinal bath recipe was obtained by her from later generations. It has been improved several times in the middle. In addition, all the medicines are made from the medicinal materials in the space, so the effect is absolutely amazing.
Thinking of this, she felt much better. It wasn't just that she couldn't give anything, she also gave Xiao Yeyang a lot of good things.
Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have a prescription?" Then he quickly added, "I'll buy it!"
Daohua was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand generously: "As for the prescription, you don't have to buy it, I'll give it to you. It's not a good thing!" As a top student of traditional Chinese medicine, she has no shortage of various formulas in her mind.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang and Defu staring at her without saying a word, Daohua smiled reservedly: "Why, are you intimidated by my domineering attitude?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yeyang and Defu withdrew their gaze at the same time and looked away.
Daohua curled her lips and didn't understand.
"I can finally take a break!"
After serving tea and snacks to everyone, Zhou Jingwan came and sat down next to Daohua.
Daohua immediately pushed the bird's nest cake over and said, "You've worked hard. Come and eat something."
Zhou Jingwan nodded: "I am a little hungry."
At this moment, everyone no longer kept looking over here like when Xiao Yeyang first arrived, but there were more and more female relatives on the stage.
Daohua thought for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Yeyang and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to the front to meet the others?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression became a little calmer: "No need."
Originally, he thought Daohua would be like everyone else and advise him to control his temper and be more respectful to others. However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement. When he turned around, he saw this guy looking at him with shining eyes.
"What for?" Xiao Yeyang was a little puzzled.
Daohua looked at him with envy: "You are so lucky. You can do whatever you want without having to cater to others."
Xiao Yeyang's expression changed: "Don't you think I'm being too arrogant?"
Daohua shook her head: "No, since you have this status and this confidence, why would you lower yourself to do something you don't like?"
If she were a noble princess or something, she would not do anything she didn't like. She would definitely be a happy and comfortable parasite. Wouldn't it be better to sit aside and watch the show instead of fighting for rights?
Xiao Yeyang nodded, agreeing: "That's right." What about respecting the wise and humble, and making friends with officials? Why should he do these things?
He didn't ask them for anything, nor was he a prince, so he didn't need to form cliques. I really didn't know why his uncle always asked him to meet some incomprehensible officials?
Even if his father doesn't pass the throne to him, can't he make a future for himself?
"But if that's the case, there will definitely be people talking about me behind my back." He doesn't have a very good reputation in the capital.
Daohua was surprised and said, "I don't see that you are a person who cares about what others think. As long as you are happy, why do you care what others do?"
As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and said with a hint of evil humor, "Don't you think it's very pleasant to see others angry but helpless?"
This time, Xiao Yeyang was really stunned.
From the first time he met Daohua, he knew that this girl was not someone to be trifled with. If anyone provoked her, she would definitely fight back.
But at that time, she was dressed like a boy. It was normal for boys to be a little wild. But now, she is a delicate girl in the boudoir. Aren't little girls gentle and quiet?
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was stunned, Daohua stopped talking, smiled, and turned to talk to Zhou Jingwan.
Life is but a few short decades. If you have the ability to make yourself live more comfortably, why would you seek suffering?
Xiao Yeyang calmed down and his eyes involuntarily looked at Daohua who was whispering with Zhou Jingwan on the side, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
This guy is really different. He actually has the same idea as him.
