Chapter 311, Road Construction
After Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua clean up the dishes, he saw Defu standing at the gate in a daze. He immediately walked over and asked, "Have you bought all the gifts I asked you to buy?"
Defu came to his senses and rubbed his stiff cheeks.
Stay calm, calm down. Isn’t it just cleaning up the dishes?
This is not the first or second time that the master has done things that are not in line with his status in front of Miss Yan. Last time, on Miss Yan's birthday, she even made longevity noodles by herself. There is nothing strange about that.
Although he thought so in his heart, Defu's expression was still a little unnatural.
"I'm asking you a question, what are you standing there for?"
Seeing Defu's expression changing constantly and not answering him, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but frown.
Seeing his master's impatience, Defu suddenly realized something and quickly replied, "Master, Shahe County is really too poor. I've searched all over the county but couldn't find any decent gifts. I could only buy some fresh food."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the food Defu brought back and quickly looked away: "These won't do." After thinking about it, he turned and went to the kitchen.
Defu hurriedly followed with his things in his hands.
In the kitchen, Wang Maner was washing dishes while Daohua was tidying up the cupboard.
Defu was a little surprised to see Daohua cleaning up the mess herself.
However, with his master serving the dish in front of him, he quickly accepted it.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang come in, Daohua asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yeyang: "I asked my uncle to look at the sword technique that Master Gu gave me. My uncle said that this set of sword techniques can be called a unique martial art. Even some martial arts families that have passed down martial arts for generations cannot produce such a martial arts secret manual."
Daohua was a little surprised: "So powerful?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded, looking somewhat proud: "After practicing that set of sword techniques, my martial arts skills have improved rapidly. Even the guards around my uncle are no match for me now."
Daohua pondered for a moment and said, "I've helped you so much, I should be grateful for it."
Xiao Yeyang agreed, "I thought so too." He glanced towards the main hall and lowered his voice a bit, "Master Gu has a bit of a strange temper, right? I'm afraid if the things I send him don't suit his taste, he'll just reject them."
Daohua thought about her master's temper and nodded, "That's really possible."
Xiao Yeyang tapped Daohua with his crutch: "Isn't he your master? What should I give him as a gift?"
This really stumped Daohua.
She doesn't know what her cheap master likes.
"My master cares about Granny Gu the most. You might as well give something to Granny Gu instead of him. As long as you please Granny Gu, my master will definitely be happy."
Xiao Yeyang quickly asked, "What does Granny Gu like?"
Daohua rested her chin on her hand and pondered, "Grandma Gu isn't in good health, and she hasn't shown any special preferences." Suddenly, an idea struck Daohua. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I know what gift to give, and I guarantee it will touch my master's heart."
Xiao Yeyang asked quickly: "What is it? Tell me quickly."
Rice Flower: "Please build a road up the mountain for my master and Granny Gu!"
Xiao Yeyang was stunned: "Repair the road?"
Daohua nodded and said, "As you can see, there is no road on Peach Blossom Mountain. Going up and down the mountain is very troublesome. My master and Granny Gu are both old, and living in the mountains is too inconvenient."
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang also thought that this was a good idea. Compared to sending some gold, silver and jewelry, it would be better to build a road for the two old people.
"Then we'll do as you say. Peach Blossom Mountain isn't very high or steep, so it'll be easy to repair. I think it'll be done in a few days. I'll ask Defu to find someone to repair the road."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "You are lucky. Originally, I was planning to honor my master and Granny Gu with this idea."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "We are no different. It doesn't matter whether you send it or I send it, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Defu and Wang Maner both showed strange expressions on their faces.
Is it the same?
It’s different!
Wang Man'er glanced at her daughter and saw that she was still responding foolishly. She had an indescribable look on her face. She always felt that the young prince was taking advantage of her daughter.
As for Defu, he looked up at the sky and rolled his eyes.
Ever since the master went to a brothel, he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened and learned how to tease girls without any instruction.
Only Miss Yan was careless and didn't think about it. If other ladies heard this, they would be so embarrassed that their faces would turn red.
Thinking of this, Defu secretly glanced at the rice flowers.
This glance was a little dazzling.
Before anyone knew it, Miss Yan had grown into a more graceful and elegant lady. Not only had she grown taller, but her appearance had also become more beautiful. Even when she was wearing a coarse dress, her beauty could not be concealed.
I wonder how stunningly beautiful she will be in two years?
No wonder the master has always been close to Miss Yan in recent years.
"What did you say? You want to build a road on Taohua Mountain?"
If they wanted to build a road on Taohua Mountain, they had to inform Gu Jian first, so Daohua took Xiao Yeyang to the main hall and told him about this idea.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, although Gu Jian was a little surprised, he did not look happy at all. However, Grandma Gu looked at Xiao Yeyang with relief.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang was a little embarrassed, Daohua quickly explained: "Master, there is no road on Taohua Mountain, so it is inconvenient for you to go up and down the mountain. Even if Granny Gu wants to go down for a walk, she can't. Xiao Yeyang means well."
Xiao Yeyang then spoke: "Master Gu, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to thank you for giving me the sword technique."
Old Mrs. Yan also smiled and said, "Since it is the child's intention, I think Master Gu should accept it." As she said that, she smiled at Grandma Gu.
"When Daohua's farm is built, my elder sister can often stay there for a while. This girl also loves flowers. She built a flower shed directly in the farm. When the flowers bloom, we can enjoy them."
Granny Gu showed some interest and looked up at her brother.
Firstly, this is the grandson's intention. Secondly, now that there is a road on the mountain, it will be more convenient for my younger brother to go up and down.
Gu Jian remained silent. After a while, he looked at Xiao Yeyang and asked, "Do you really want to build a road for my sister and me?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded quickly: "Of course, this will also be more convenient for Master Gu and Granny Gu."
Gu Jian: "How do you plan to repair it?"
Seeing him give in, Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I have asked my servants to find someone, and it will be ready tomorrow."
Gu Jian raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Yeyang: "If you are sincere, then you should cultivate this path by yourself. If you want to find someone else, then don't cultivate it at all!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yeyang was stunned.
Even Daohua and Old Lady Yan looked at Gu Jian in surprise.
Taohua Mountain is not very high, but isn’t it too difficult for Xiao Yeyang to build a road alone?
Granny Gu's eyes flashed. Although she felt that her brother's request was a bit excessive, she didn't say anything.
Gu Jian stood up and looked at Xiao Yeyang: "This road is taken by my sister and me. If you repair it yourself, we will appreciate your kindness." After saying that, he walked straight out of the room.
Xiao Yeyang turned to look at Daohua, his eyes revealing a look of surprise as if to say, "Did I hear correctly?"
Defu, who was standing outside the house, opened his mouth so wide that it was almost dislocated.
Does that strange monk know the identity of his master?
How dare he be so bold as to let the prince's legitimate son build roads for him?
