Chapter 261, Reward
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, one got a medical book and the other got a martial arts secret book, were both in a very good mood. When they returned to Xingyuan, everyone could feel their joy.
Yan Wenkai looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Did you pick up any money?"
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing.
Yan Wenkai wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Xiao Yeyang: "You guys should pack up. We can return to Zhongzhou in the next two days."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was diverted.
Daohua took the opportunity to slip away. Dong Yuanyao caught up with her and pulled her arm. "What on earth did you and the young prince do so mysteriously?"
Daohua didn't hide it and said with a smile: "Remember those two old people I saved before?"
Dong Yuanyao nodded: "It's hard not to remember those two, what happened to them?"
Daohua raised the medical book in her hand and said, "They gave one book to Xiao Yeyang and me."
Dong Yuanyao quickly asked, "What book?"
Daohua smiled and said, "Mine is a medical book. If you want to know about Xiao Yeyang's, go ask him yourself."
Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao did not ask any further questions, but just said: "These days, there are still many people who are grateful." The two old men were like this, and so was the young man who went down to the river to help.
Daohua nodded: "Who said it wasn't?"
Dong Yuanyao tilted her head and looked at the rice flowers with a smile in her eyes.
Among the ladies she knew, there were those who were flamboyant and arrogant, and those who were quiet and dignified, but none of them lived as lively and casually as Yan Yiyi.
And this casualness is not reckless, but comes from her own ability.
Seeing Dong Yuanyao staring at her, Daohua wondered, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, "I remember something my mother said to me. She said that only capable people can live the life they want." After a pause, she looked at Daohua and said, "I think you are quite capable."
He had his own farm and shop. When he gave out porridge, he brought in more than a dozen boatloads of food without consulting anyone. He also knew how to trap water and saved people, which earned him gratitude and rewards.
Hearing this, Daohua immediately smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved. "Are you praising me?" After saying this, she touched her face, lowered her head and smiled sweetly, "You make me feel embarrassed."
Seeing this, Dong Yuanyao's mouth twitched: "Don't be so shy, it's very irritating to me."
The smile on Daohua's face immediately disappeared and she rolled her eyes: "Boring."
Dong Yuanyao: "I'm not a man, I can't appreciate it."
Rice Flower snorted, "If you were a man, you wouldn't be able to see it."
Dong Yuanyao thought of Daohua's attitude towards her brothers and smiled. Then she said happily, "I'll be able to go home soon. I'm so happy just thinking about it."
"Yes!"
"I tell you, this is the first time I've been away from home for so long."
"I heard that you ran away secretly without telling your family. I'm afraid you'll be scolded when you return, right?"
"Yan Yiyi, when I'm so happy, you have to make things difficult for me, don't you?"
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to remind you to think of a solution now, or you'll end up trapped in the backyard."
Dong Yuanyao's face fell and he sighed, "There's nothing I can do. My parents must be terribly worried about me getting out this time. Even my grandmother rushed over from the capital after learning that my brother and I were trapped in Xingyun Mansion. I'm sure I'll get a beating when I get home."
Although Daohua's face was filled with sympathy, the corners of her mouth were raised: "Fortunately, I informed the elders at home when I came out."
Dong Yuanyao couldn't stand it anymore: "Yan Yiyi, you are gloating!" As he said that, he was about to grab the rice flowers.
Daohua wouldn't wait for her to catch it, and quickly ran towards the yard, saying as she ran: "Dong Yuanyao, I hope you will still be so strong when you go home."
Two days later, Daohua and his group finally boarded the boat back to Zhongzhou.
On the boat, Dong Yuanxuan, Yan Wenxiu, Zhou Chengye and others all sighed, saying that this time they almost couldn't come back.
Looking at Daohua and Dong Yuanyao on the deck, who were looking around with binoculars, Su Hongxin was the first to speak: "This time, I really want to thank Sister Yan. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid we would be..."
The rest of the words were not spoken, but everyone knew it.
Except for Yan Wentao, who had not been infected with the plague, everyone else present had a near-death experience, and Daohua was their savior.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers, his eyes flashing.
This guy has saved him twice.
Everyone says he is a benefactor, but he thinks the rice flowers are his benefactors.
Not to mention the life-saving grace, but also the last time you raised grain seeds and the prescription for treating the plague that you submitted this time, each time they solved his urgent needs.
Compared to what she did for him, he did nothing.
Dong Yuanxuan also looked at the two girls on the deck, then smiled and said to Yan Wenxiu: "After returning to Zhongzhou, please be sure to come to my house for a visit. I used to go to your house for food and drinks, so let me be the host this time."
Su Hongxin also spoke up: "And my family, I'm not exaggerating, but when it comes to cooking, Sister Yan's cooking is delicious, but when it comes to exquisiteness and appearance, my sister is even better."
Yan Wenkai immediately said, "Why make food look so pretty? We're going to eat it anyway, so it's just a waste of effort."
Su Hongxin was unhappy, saying that he could do it, but his sister couldn't: "You rough man, this is called elegance, what do you know? If it weren't for Sister Yan, Brother Yan, and Wentao, I wouldn't even want to treat you. You want to eat but there's nothing to eat."
Yan Wenkai curled his lips and said, "It makes me want to eat it so badly. Let me tell you, I haven't even finished what my elder sister made yet, so how can I have the time to eat what your sister makes?"
Su Hongxin was furious: "Yan Wenkai, you said you wouldn't eat anything my sister made. If I find out you ate it, I'll definitely beat you to a pulp."
Yan Wenkai glared at him: "Don't yell, it's still unclear who will fight whom!"
Seeing that the two of them started arguing again, everyone else shook their heads helplessly.
Yan Wenxiu smiled and said to Dong Yuanxuan, "I will definitely visit you if I get a chance. But this time, my grandmother is probably very worried about me, so we have to go home first to report that we are safe."
Dong Yuanxuan thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he didn't try to persuade him any further.
At the same time, in Xingzhou City, Yan Mansion.
The Yan family was in a state of excitement, excitement and disbelief, staring blankly at the gold, silver, jewelry and silks bestowed by the emperor himself.
Thousands of taels of gold, tens of thousands of taels of silver, and several boxes of jewels and silk.
These things have a great visual impact on the Yan family.
When Yan Zhigao came back from sending away the eunuch who came to announce the imperial decree, he saw that his family was still in a daze.
Seeing this, Yan Zhigao didn't say anything. At this moment, he was also very excited. Compared with the rewards in front of him, he cared more about being able to go to Beijing in person to report on his work at the beginning of next year.
After all, she had been through so much, and Old Lady Yan was the first to come to her senses. She told Madam Li to put the things away, then looked at Yan Zhigao and asked, "Are Daohua, Wenxiu and the others coming back?"
Daohua had submitted a prescription for curing the plague in the name of the Yan family. The eldest brother had told her about this, but she still couldn't believe it.
The granddaughter just casually read a few medical books and happened to come across a prescription for treating the plague?
When she comes back, she will have to ask where the prescription came from.
Yan Zhigao stepped forward to support his mother and said with a smile, "Wen Xiu wrote to me earlier and he should be back in the next few days."
Mrs. Yan was relieved: "That's good!"
Yan Zhiyuan quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Brother, why did the emperor think of rewarding you?"
Yan Zhigao glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The emperor has decided to promote the high-yield grain variety nationwide. In addition, Daohua presented a prescription for curing the plague, so this reward was given."
As he said this, he smiled again.
"By the way, Wen Xiu and the others did some good deeds in providing disaster relief in Jiguang this time. I heard that the emperor even praised them personally."
Old Lady Yan smiled and said, "Wenxiu, Wentao, and Wenkai are all good."
Yan Zhigao nodded and helped his mother back to the yard; while Madam Li personally watched the servants carry the rewards back to the main courtyard, leaving the other members of the Yan family standing in the hall with changed expressions.
Among them, Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang had the most complicated feelings.
The two looked at each other and saw disappointment in each other's eyes.
I'm afraid my aunt will really be confined to her house for three years this time.
