Chapter 148, Venison
"The girl's handwriting is getting more and more beautiful!"
In Daohuaxuan, Daohua was sitting in the study, tracing red characters carefully. Wang Maner was standing beside her, grinding ink and looking at the words written by his daughter with a smile.
She is no longer the little girl who knew nothing. After following the girl, she has learned a lot. The lady was worried that she would not be able to serve the girl well, so she specially asked Sister Pingtong to teach her for a long time.
In addition, the girl would take her with her to class, so she also listened to some of the knowledge. Although she could not remember most of it, she was not illiterate.
Daohua laughed and said, "You figured it out again?"
Wang Man'er: "Although I can't write, I can still read. By the way, young lady, the stationery set that the master sent is really good, and the ink is fragrant."
Daohua dipped her hand in the ink and continued tracing: "They are all famous inkstones and inks, so they are naturally good."
Wang Man'er smiled and said, "I heard from the maids that the Fifth Master also wanted this set of stationery. Unfortunately, the Master gave it to you, young lady. This shows that the Master is now liking you more and more."
Daohua's hand paused as she wrote, then she smiled faintly: "Maybe."
My stepfather loves Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang from the bottom of his heart, and we can say that he values her.
Wang Man'er saw that Daohua didn't seem to like talking about this, so she changed the subject: "Madam has bought another batch of maids and servants to bring into the mansion. Is it time for us to bring in new people to our courtyard as well?"
Daohua nodded. "Well, it's the end of the year and there's a lot of things to do. Mother feels that there aren't enough people in the house. By the way, if there are new people coming to our yard, you have to keep an eye on them and don't let them touch my things."
Wang Man'er promised solemnly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the house. Miss, it's already the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, why haven't the uncles had their day off yet?"
Daohua: "It should be in the next two days."
Wangyue Academy.
"Finally, it's vacation time!"
After walking out of the classroom, Yan Wenkai breathed a sigh of relief. He had been feeling suffocated for a long time.
There was no way. Ever since he came back from his house last time, the little prince had always had a cold face, which made him dare not even speak casually.
Yan Wenkai dragged Yan Wentao back to their residence to pack their things. They were only halfway through packing when Su Hongxin came over and asked, "Are you guys going back now?"
"Of course. Why would you stay here if not going home?" Yan Wenkai replied while packing his things.
Su Hongxin: "Okay, put it aside for now, the young prince is calling you."
Yan Wenkai's expression suddenly changed, and he asked nervously, "Young Prince, are you in a bad mood today?"
Su Hongxin was speechless: "Looking at you like this, I didn't know, I thought the little prince had done something to you?"
Yan Wenkai smiled awkwardly, "I was just scared. Who knew the young prince could be so scary with a gloomy face?"
Su Hongxin curled his lips: "That's because the young prince smiles at you too much." Thinking back to when he first became the young prince's study companion, he was trembling with fear every day. How could he dare to joke with the young prince like Yan Wenkai did.
"Let's go quickly, don't keep the young prince waiting."
Soon, the three of them arrived at the yard where Xiao Yeyang lived.
When I arrived, I found that Dong Yuanxuan, Yan Wenxiu and Zhou Chengye were also there.
There were several freshly killed wild deer in the yard.
Seeing everyone coming, Defu stepped forward and said with a smile, "The Governor sent over a few deer. Since the New Year is coming soon, I'd like to share some with everyone, just as a treat for everyone."
Dong Yuanxuan's expression changed. Looking at Xiao Yeyang who was sitting silently beside him, he smiled and said, "This venison must be grilled to taste better. Speaking of grilled meat, I can't help but think of the meat that Sister Yan grilled on the Double Ninth Festival." As he spoke, he sucked his saliva exaggeratedly.
“I really want to eat it again!”
After saying this, he desperately winked at Yan Wenkai.
Unexpectedly, the guy drooled at the sight of the deer: "Yeah, I want to eat it too."
Dong Yuanxuan was speechless. Who cares whether you want to eat or not? This idiot can't even respond.
After thinking about it, he turned his gaze to Yan Wenxiu. He should understand what he meant, right?
As for Yan Wentao, forget it. He is an honest man and there is no need to count on him.
Yan Wenxiu had been teaching under Yan Zhigao for many years, so he immediately understood what Dong Yuanxuan meant and said with a smile, "Yes, enjoying the snow while eating roasted venison in winter is one of the most beautiful things in life."
"Young Prince, now that the academy is on vacation and everyone has nothing to do, why don't you come over to my house? We can get together and have a barbecue, it will definitely be lively."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression changed, but thinking about the last time he went to Yan's Daohua and didn't even show up, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, Yan Wenkai, who was immersed in the deliciousness of the barbecue, was finally brought back to his senses when Zhou Chengye pinched the flesh on his waist.
"Yes, little prince, let's go to my house. My eldest sister has never eaten venison."
Xiao Yeyang then looked up and asked: "Why don't you even give people venison to eat?"
Yan Wenkai: "It's because venison is hard to come by. No one in our family knows how to hunt. Plus, my older sister grew up in the countryside, so there's no chance for her to eat it."
"Young Prince, let's go, my elder sister is a foodie. I'm sure her mouth will water when she sees venison."
Thinking of Daohua drooling over the venison, Xiao Yeyang finally smiled, but then he stopped smiling and said reluctantly, "Okay, since you sincerely invited me, I'll come to your house and have a seat."
Seeing this, Dong Yuanxuan and others smiled at each other.
In order to avoid the last incident from happening again, Yan Wenxiu asked the servant to return to the mansion in advance to inform Yan Zhigao and Madam Li that the young prince was coming.
Yan Zhigao was very happy when he received the news. He said to everyone in the Yan family, "The young prince is coming this time, everyone should go and welcome him."
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Daohua and was about to give his eldest daughter some instructions, but was interrupted by Yan Zhiyuan.
"Brother, don't worry. The young prince is here, so we must entertain him well. Yihuan and Yile had a good chat with the young prince last time. This time, let them play with him. You know Yihuan, she has a quiet personality and will definitely not do anything to annoy the young prince."
Yan Zhigao felt a little uncomfortable when his words were interrupted, and frowned slightly: "This is the best. It is an honor for our family that the young prince can come to our house. Let's go and prepare."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhiyuan and Sun hurriedly took Yan Yihan and her sister away, muttering that they were going to wash and dress up, without even saying goodbye.
Seeing them like this, Yan Zhigao felt even more unhappy.
As soon as he returned to the second room, Yan Zhiyuan urged Sun to dress up Yan Yihan and her sister, while he sat beside her and kept giving them instructions.
"When the little prince comes later, you must please him and don't provoke him."
Yan Zhiyuan felt a surge of excitement in his heart at this moment. Sun had told him before that he could use the young prince's relationship to get him promoted to an official position. He had been thinking about this matter all the time, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
