Chapter 192, Lucky Star
"Why did you two come here to play chess? We had to look for you!"
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang hadn't been seen for a long time, so Yan Wenkai came with a large group of people to look for them. Seeing the two of them in the pavilion, he followed them into the pavilion.
Seeing everyone coming, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang put down the chess pieces in their hands.
"Heh, what kind of chess game are you two playing? Forgive my poor eyesight, but I don't understand it at all."
Looking at the messy chess pieces on the chessboard, Yan Wenkai was confused.
Dong Yuanxuan and others glanced at the chessboard and were also a little surprised.
Being able to place chess pieces in such a disorderly manner requires talent.
Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, everyone was a little puzzled. Were they arguing again?
Daohua didn't want to let her emotions affect others, so she smiled and messed up the chess pieces on the board: "I was just playing with Xiao Yeyang."
Yan Wenkai walked over and patted Daohua on the shoulder: "Big sister, your chess skills are a bit poor. You can't even beat me."
Daohua immediately disagreed and said, "I'm not serious. If I were serious, it would be very scary." As he said that, he waved his fist.
At this time, Xiao Yeyang took over the conversation: "It's scary that you can't even survive ten moves."
Daohua didn't get angry, she raised her eyebrows and said, "That's because I met a pervert. If it was a normal person, I would definitely be very powerful."
Seeing that she was not ashamed but proud of it, Xiao Yeyang smiled and did not argue with her.
Seeing that the two were fine, everyone started laughing.
Daohua pulled Zhou Jingwan over and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go back quickly. Dinner will be served soon."
At this time, people came out of the pavilion one after another.
forecourt.
"How is it? Nothing happened, right?" Yan Zhigao asked Butler Sun.
After Butler Sun delivered the snow swallow cake to Shuangxinyuan, he was worried that something might happen, so he hurried to the front yard and told Yan Zhigao about encountering the rice flowers on the road.
Yan Zhigao knew that the blood bird's nest cake was made by his eldest daughter, and he also knew that there was not much blood bird's nest cake, barely two plates, and he only gave it to the old lady and the lady. The lady was concerned about his health and gave him her share, but he gave it to Lin, and was caught red-handed by his eldest daughter. He felt a little uneasy.
Steward Sun quickly replied, "Nothing happened. The eldest lady and the young prince sat in the pavilion for a while and talked for a while. Now they have gone to the old lady's yard."
Yan Zhigao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked back and forth in the room a few steps. Then he said to Butler Sun, "A few days ago, I heard from Co-Governor Qian that there's a new pastry shop that's opened in Xingzhou City. The food is pretty good. Go buy some and bring it back to Madam."
Steward Sun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it only for Madam?"
Yan Zhigao paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I will send it to my wife only. I will tell her that I like it and ask her to try it too."
Butler Sun was shocked.
You know, in the past, no matter what was bought, if there was a share for the lady, there would definitely be a share for Aunt Lin.
After everyone left, Yan Zhigao sat in his seat, lost in thought.
If it were in the past, he would not have thought anything of something like today, but this time, he felt a little guilty and apologetic.
"Mother works hard for this family from morning till night, what does Aunt Lin do?"
"Father, it's my mother who supports this family with you."
"You shouldn't ignore your mother's efforts, and you shouldn't take them for granted."
"Son, a hundred years from now, the one buried with you in the Yan family's ancestral tomb will be Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Lin will only be a concubine. You must know who is the master and who is the subordinate."
Thinking of his eldest daughter's accusations and his mother's earnest exhortations, Yan Zhigao rubbed his brows with a headache.
At this moment, Master Lin walked in with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I heard that my sister must have pickled cabbage to eat recently. Look, my mother made some pickled cabbage, and I brought some to her. I will give it to her later and visit her by the way."
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao frowned and asked in a bad tone, "What did you call me?"
The smile on Master Lin's face froze: "Sister, no, sir."
Yan Zhigao sat up straight, his face serious. "Remember your identity. I don't want to hear this inappropriate and unconventional address again."
"Also, you'd better not enter the backyard casually in the future. Now that there's another Liu living in Shuangxinyuan, it's really inconvenient for you to go there."
"If you really need to see your sister about something, it's best to tell the lady first. If she agrees, you can go see your sister."
"Just put the sauerkraut on the table. I'll have someone send it to your sister later."
With every word Yan Zhigao spoke, Master Lin's face turned paler, and he became even more panicked.
My elder sister is pregnant now. Logically, the adults should pamper her even more, right?
But looking at him now, why does he seem to be a little disgusted with his sister?
Could it be that the new girl Liu has caught the adults' eye?
This shouldn't be the case. Last time I heard from my sister, the adults had never even entered Liu's room. Moreover, she was fine just two days ago. How could she change so suddenly?
Master Lin walked out of the room in a daze, and was seen by Master Xiao who came to see Yan Zhigao for something. He shook his head sarcastically.
It’s not a big deal if this person doesn’t have the ability, but it’s really annoying if he doesn’t have self-awareness.
After lunch, Xiao Yeyang and his group returned to the academy.
"Do you like crabs?"
When leaving, Xiao Yeyang suddenly asked Daohua.
When she heard about crabs, Daohua's eyes lit up suddenly, and she nodded greedily: "I like it, I like it, especially hairy crabs."
Seeing that she was almost drooling, Xiao Yeyang found it a little funny: "The hairy crabs from Yanghu are quite delicious. August is the season for eating crabs now. I'll have someone send you a few boxes later."
Daohua nodded happily, then felt a little embarrassed after nodding: "You just gave me a parrot, and now you're giving me hairy crabs. I don't know what gift to give me in return."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and said, "You don't have to reply. I still want to thank you."
Daohua was stunned and asked in confusion, "Thank me for what?"
Xiao Yeyang lowered his eyes, said nothing, and walked away fanning himself.
"What are you thanking me for? You can't even explain it clearly!"
Listening to Daohua's muttering, Xiao Yeyang's lips curled up, and the sadness that had been hidden deep in his eyes for many years disappeared, and there was a hint of relief.
Defu smiled and bowed to the rice flowers, then quickly followed.
As Xiao Yeyang's personal eunuch, he naturally knew the meaning of his master's words, and also noticed that his master was in a relaxed and cheerful mood at the moment.
Miss Yan is truly the master's lucky star.
I saved the master's life before, and now I have untied the knot that has been accumulated in the master's heart for many years. It is only right that I take better care of him.
Well, he has to keep a close eye on it after he gets back, and immediately send the hairy crabs to this person when the subordinates bring them.
"Rice flowers."
After seeing off Xiao Yeyang and others, Zhou Jingwan held on to Daohua tightly.
Rice Flower: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Jingwan pouted and said, "I want to eat hairy crabs, too."
Hearing this, Daohua was a little surprised: "It's understandable that my family can't get hairy crabs, but your family shouldn't be short of this thing, right?"
Zhou Jingwan rolled her eyes. "My family has plenty of crabs to eat, but we can't get the hairy crabs from Yanghu. The hairy crabs from Yanghu are tribute and not open to the public."
This was the first time Daohua had heard of this: "Is that so? Then wouldn't I be taking advantage of Xiao Yeyang again?"
Zhou Jingwan looked at Daohua, who was acting so naive after getting the advantage, speechlessly: "I was just standing right next to you. What a shame, little prince, he didn't even bother to send some to my family."
Daohua patted Zhou Jingwan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the hairy crabs are here. I'll call you over to eat them right away!"
