Chapter 205: Details Determine Success or Failure
In the horse farm, Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang who were talking and laughing in front of the lake and getting along very naturally and harmoniously, and pushed Zhou Jingwan beside her.
"Jingwan, has the relationship between the eldest daughter of the Yan family and the young prince always been so good?"
Zhou Jingwan glanced in the direction of Daohua and the other person, then looked away and continued feeding the horses, looking as if she was used to it. "Yes, Daohua is very interesting, and everyone likes to play with her."
As he said this, he looked at Dong Yuanyao with a smile.
"Sister Dong, sometimes I think Daohua is very similar to you. You both like to play pranks and make people laugh, and you both like to dress up as men and go out."
Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua again: "My brother said the same thing, but I don't think I'm as brave as her. I wouldn't dare to joke with the little prince like that."
Zhou Jingwan nodded in agreement: "I wouldn't dare either."
Dong Yuanyao: "Tell me, why isn't she afraid of the young prince getting angry?"
Zhou Jingwan: "My young prince is not that stingy, is he? Besides, we were just joking."
Dong Yuanyao was silent for a moment, not continuing the topic, and asked, "By the way, I noticed that the rouge that the eldest daughter of the Yan family used to tease the young prince was a little different from the ones we usually use. Do you know where she bought it? I think it would be more convenient to carry around."
Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan immediately put down the fodder in her hand, clapped her hands, and took out a golden cylinder the size of her little finger from her purse: "Here, this is it."
"This isn't something you buy outside. Daohua made it herself. She calls it lipstick. It's definitely more convenient to carry it with her when she goes out than a rouge box she buys outside."
As she spoke, she opened the lid, twisted it, and a piece of red rouge cream came out.
Dong Yuanyao took it in his hands and looked at it with a curious look on his face: "It's so uniquely made."
Zhou Jingwan nodded quickly: "My mother said the same thing."
Dong Yuanyao returned the lipstick to Zhou Jingwan and looked at her hesitantly: "Jingwan, does the eldest daughter of the Yan family still have this kind of lipstick? I want to buy it from her."
Zhou Jingwan put the lipstick back into her purse: "There should be some more at the rouge shop in Daohua. I'll ask for you later." After that, she continued to pick up the hay to feed the horse, touching the horse as she fed it and said.
"Actually, the young prince is a very good person. Look, he gave us such a good horse without hesitation."
Dong Yuanyao was speechless: "Didn't you notice? We are just a by-product. The only one the young prince really wants to send is the eldest daughter of the Yan family."
Zhou Jingwan was stunned: "Really?" Then she smiled and said, "I see, the Daohua family is not as wealthy as us, so the young prince helps her like this."
Dong Yuanyao had the urge to cover his head. Forget it, I won’t talk to this stupid guy anymore.
“The water in this lake is so cool!”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the rice flowers bending over to play in the water by the lake: "This water is the spring water flowing down from the top of the main peak."
Daohua's eyes lit up, and she looked up at the main peak of Wuhua Mountain and asked, "How long does it take to climb to the top?"
Xiao Yeyang: "The stairs to the main peak are straight. If you don't stop, it will take more than half an hour. Why, do you want to go up and see the spring?"
Daohua nodded: "I want to go up and see if the mountain spring water is clear. If it is clean, I want to take some back to make wine." The natural minerals and trace elements contained in the spring water are not found in the well water.
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "It takes a lot of water to make wine, right?"
Daohua: "I don't need much, so I'll use it to brew a few jars of medicinal wine. My grandmother has chronic cold legs, and I found a folk remedy that says using white wine brewed with mountain spring water will have a better effect."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang was speechless: "A folk remedy? You just picked up a random remedy and dared to use it on your grandmother?"
Daohua was silent for a moment. "Don't worry, I certainly won't joke about my grandmother's health." Then, she picked up the pocket watch on her chest and looked at it. "It's only 2:00 PM now. We still have time to go back and forth."
Seeing that Daohua really wanted to go, Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Then I'll ask Jingwan and the others if they want to go up." Daohua immediately asked Wang Maner to ask Zhou Jingwan and others.
Xiao Yeyang: "Don't ask, they definitely won't go up." After riding a horse for most of the day, who would still want to climb a mountain?
Sure enough, after a while, Wang Maner came back shaking her head.
"In that case, we have no choice but to go up together. This time, shall we have a competition to see who can climb faster?"
Xiao Yeyang decisively refused: "I won't compete with people who like to cheat."
"You're just taking it too seriously. Aren't competitions just for fun?"
"But the loser has to pay a prize."
“.”
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang took Defu, Wang Maner and a few others, chatting and laughing, and it didn't take long for them to reach the top of the mountain.
"How's that? Is it okay?"
Looking at the spring with clear water, Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers.
Daohua nodded in satisfaction: "That's great, I thought it was an exposed spring pool."
Xiao Yeyang: "If that's okay, after we go down, I'll have Defu send someone to get some spring water and then bring it to you."
Daohua hurriedly shook her head: "No, why would I bother you so much? I'll just ask Brother Xiaoliu to come and get it."
Xiao Yeyang was speechless. This guy probably didn't know that outsiders were not allowed to enter or exit the main peak of Wuhua Mountain?
"You're going to make some medicinal wine, aren't you? Well, if you really feel bad, just give me a bottle of it."
Daohua was puzzled: "What are you doing with the medicinal wine?"
Xiao Yeyang: "My grandfather has been leading troops outside for many years and he also has cold legs. If the medicinal wine you brewed is really useful, I will send it to him."
Daohua: "Then I'll give you two more bottles."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang felt relieved but speechless at the same time. He was very generous to himself, but he didn't know how effective the medicinal wine would be.
After confirming that the spring water was usable, the two of them admired the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain for a while and then went down the mountain.
"Hey, there's another courtyard on this mountain!"
When going up the mountain, Daohua didn't pay much attention, but when going down the mountain, she discovered the villa on the top of the mountain.
Xiao Yeyang paused and said nothing.
Daohua stretched her neck to take a look and asked, "Is this also a royal villa?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded casually, looking like he didn't want to say more.
Seeing this, Daohua didn't ask any more questions. Her mood was not affected and she continued to walk down the mountain with a smile on her face.
When we reached halfway up the mountain, we found that there was someone in the pavilion by the roadside.
"Madam, madam, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
"What should I do? My wife has fainted. We need to see a doctor right away."
"But there are only two of us here. How are we going to get the lady down the mountain?"
In the pavilion, two maids were anxiously supporting a lady wearing a veil, looking flustered and at a loss.
Daohua didn't take the initiative to help, but stared at the three people in the pavilion with a scrutinizing look on her face. Seeing Xiao Yeyang was about to enter the pavilion in a hurry, she quickly pulled him back and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Yeyang's face was obviously worried and anxious at this moment. He was pulled by Daohua and said anxiously: "Didn't you see someone fainted? Go in and save him!" As he said that, he was about to walk towards the pavilion again.
Daohua pulled the people back again and whispered, "There's something wrong with these three people. They can't go in."
Xiao Yeyang froze, thinking Daohua had discovered something, and turned around blankly: "Is there any problem?"
Daohua glanced at the three people in the pavilion and frowned, "First, how could a woman go out with only two maids? When my family was not well off, my mother would always take two or three maids with her when she went out, just in case."
"Secondly, the worry on the maids' faces was fake. Their acting was terrible. They were worried, so what? Why were they wiping their eyes? Were they trying to act so anxious they were crying? But they did shed a few tears."
In the pavilion, the three people who had practiced martial arts for many years had excellent hearing. When they heard this, Mei Xue, who was supporting Guo Ruomei, immediately put down her hand that was pretending to wipe away tears.
"Third, that lady isn't unconscious at all. Look, she's still holding something in her hand. Just imagine, how could someone who's passed out still have strength in their arms?"
When Guo Ruomei, who was leaning on the maid pretending to be fainted, heard this, her grip loosened and the telescope fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Daohua immediately picked up Xiao Yeyang and ran down the mountain.
Yes, by running.
Xiao Yeyang is a member of the royal family. Who knows if these three people are here to assassinate him?
Defu, who was standing behind him, stared in amazement as his master was dragged away by Miss Yan. He then turned around to look at the three people in the pavilion with a look of sympathy on his face, and then quickly chased after them.
After everyone left, Guo Ruomei, who had fainted, sat up and silently looked at the telescope that was still rolling on the ground.
Mei Xue and Xue Shuang lowered their heads with a look of regret and dared not speak.
