Chapter 327, Look Down
Xiao Yeyang greeted Jiang Canzheng, Dong Yuanxuan and other Zhongzhou officials perfunctorily, said a few polite words, and then walked to the front observation deck.
"Go, call Dao, Dong Yuanxuan and the others over. Watching the game here gives us a wider view."
Defu immediately nodded in agreement.
The master's face has not been good these days, and his heart has been very nervous.
Even though the master's temper has calmed down a lot over the years, his stubborn nature has not changed at all. When Lord and Mrs. Jiang arrived, they acted like elders. He could clearly feel that the master's impatience was almost reaching its limit.
He was really afraid that his master would lose his patience and be too lazy to deal with Minister Chiang and Madame Chiang and would just walk away in disgrace.
However, the Jiang family cannot be careless. If the master wants to successfully inherit the title of Prince Ping, he cannot do without the support of the Queen Mother.
Because of this, Governor Guo personally called him over and instructed him several times to advise and remind his master when he couldn't help himself.
But how could he have such ability?
Governor Guo himself doesn't dare to say these things in front of his master, but he lets a servant do it. Isn't this just bullying him because he is honest?
Defu felt very tired. Yesterday, because he forgot to remind his master to pick up Miss Yan, his master was very angry. He hadn't been punished for a long time, but he was punished to kneel for more than two hours. Until now, his legs still hurt.
Thinking of his bruised knee, Defu felt so pitiful.
When he learned today that Miss Yan had come to the provincial government on her own, he almost jumped for joy.
The person who can subdue the master has finally arrived!
Defu limped out. He had to call Miss Yan over quickly.
However, before leaving the observation deck, Jiang Wanying came over with a smile: "Brother Yang, who are you going to call?"
Xiao Yeyang didn't reply, but said, "Why are you here? You're not feeling well, so you should stay with Madam Jiang. It's windy here."
Jiang Wanying glanced at him coquettishly: "Brother Yang, are you not welcoming me?" Then she smiled and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry, I'm not a paper man. The weather is nice today, so it's no big deal to get some fresh air."
Xiao Yeyang didn't respond, but just looked at Defu: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go?"
Seeing that Defu was not very mobile, Jiang Wanying stretched out her hand and looked at Xiao Yeyang with a smile: "I'm asking for mercy on Defu's behalf. Brother Yang, please find someone else to go."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang pursed his lips and glanced at Defu. Seeing that Defu's legs were a little stiff, he remained silent.
At this time, a beautiful and graceful maid came out and bowed to Xiao Yeyang and Jiang Wanying: "Master, how about I go, it will be faster this way."
Xiao Yeyang remained silent, but Jiang Wanying took the initiative to agree: "Ruizhu, go ahead."
Ruizhu glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and seeing that he had no objection, she immediately agreed with a smile, and then walked briskly towards the observation deck where Dong Yuanxuan and the others were.
Su Hongxin brought his sister Su Shiyu to watch the dragon boat race. After saying goodbye to his mother, the two of them walked towards Daohua and the others.
When he left, he also took Zhang Nanyue, one of the female relatives, with him.
There's nothing I can do, since Zhou Chengye is here too.
"Sister Su, Sister Zhang!"
"Sister Dong, Sister Yan, you are all here."
As soon as the girls met, they gathered together affectionately. Daohua introduced Su Shiyu and Zhang Nanyue to sisters Li Zixuan and Li Zixin, and then the girls discussed the dragon boat race with great interest.
Su Hongxin approached Yan Wenkai and saw that he was only focused on watching the dragon boats below. He was speechless and nudged him with his crooked hand: "Why aren't you with the young prince this time?"
Yan Wenkai looked towards Xiao Yeyang and shrugged: "Didn't you see that the young prince wanted to accompany someone else?"
This person always spoke loudly, and everyone could hear him when he spoke.
Seeing everyone looking over, Yan Wenkai said innocently, "I'm not wrong. The young prince is accompanying someone else. We can watch it on our own without him. What's the big deal?"
Yan Wenxiu resisted the urge to cover his head, and Dong Yuanxuan's mouth twitched as well.
This is the truth
Daohua hummed barely perceptibly and turned to look at Xiao Yeyang.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yeyang was also looking here.
Their eyes met, Daohua curled her lips and quickly looked away.
On the other side, Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua turn her head away immediately, and felt a little disappointed, and then a little uneasy.
I forgot to pick up the rice flowers this time. Given that guy's temper, he will definitely be angry with me.
How am I going to explain this to her later?
Suddenly, Xiao Yeyang's eyes lit up. This time, the Jiang family came and brought a lot of things given to him by the emperor's uncle, the empress dowager, and the queen. Among them was a pot of ornamental red fruit, which was said to be a tribute from a foreign country.
That guy likes these things. Using this to coax her should help her calm down, right?
"Your servant Ruizhu greets all the gentlemen and ladies."
Ruizhu came to Dong Yuanxuan and his group with a smile and bowed to everyone politely.
Dong Yuanxuan raised his hand: "But what instructions does the young prince have?"
Ruizhu nodded and said, "The master sent this servant over to invite the gentlemen over."
On the side, Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao and asked in a low voice: "Why haven't I seen this maid before? She seems a little different."
Dong Yuanyao leaned over to her ear and said, "Of course you haven't seen her. She came from the capital this time with the Jiang family. I heard that she came with Defu and the others. She has been serving the young prince since she was a child. It seems that she was personally assigned by the Queen Mother this time. Naturally, her status is higher than that of an ordinary maid."
Rice Flower nodded.
At this time, Ruizhu looked at Dong Yuanyao and the others and said with a smile, "Miss Dong, Miss Su, Miss Zhang, and Miss Jiang are over there too. You should all go over there too. Watching the dragon boat race from the master's side gives you a clearer and wider view, and it's also nice to chat when we're all together."
After saying that, he looked at Daohua and the Li sisters and asked, "I wonder who these three girls are?"
Daohua glanced at her and found that she was indeed of a high status. Look at her tone and expression, both of which were condescending.
Seeing Daohua didn't say anything and turned her head away, Ruizhu frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Dong Yuanxuan spoke up, "This is the daughter of Lord Yan, the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture. These two are Miss Yan's cousins."
Ruizhu's eyes flashed.
The prefect of Ningmen Prefecture is only the daughter of a fourth-rank official, but she is quite arrogant.
"I am short-sighted, Miss Yan, why don't you come with us?" As for the two cousins, they didn't introduce their family backgrounds, so they must be commoners and there was no need to pay attention to them.
Hearing this alms-giving tone of words, Daohua immediately sneered: "No need, I can see it well here too."
Ruizhu was stunned by such a straightforward rejection.
Does the daughter of the Ningmen Prefecture prefect know who she is rejecting?
Although she was a maid, she was assigned by the Queen Mother to serve her master, so her invitation represented her master's invitation.
How dare she refuse her master's invitation?
Ruizhu sneered in her heart. The wives of these officials on assignment were indeed not presentable. She immediately smiled and said, "Since the young lady is unwilling to go, I will not persuade her any further."
After saying that, he looked at Dong Yuanxuan and others.
"Gentlemen and ladies, let's go."
Seeing that Daohua was unwilling to go over, Dong Yuanxuan's eyes flashed, but he did not try to persuade her. He looked at Yan Wenxiu and said, "Wenxiu, let's go over."
Yan Wenxiu glanced at his sister and nodded without saying much. He pulled his fourth brother who wanted to say something and followed Dong Yuanxuan and the others away.
Dong Yuanyao glanced at Ruizhu with a half-smile, and whispered to Daohua, "People in the capital are like this, they have a pair of snobbish eyes. Don't take it to heart."
Daohua nodded and said, "I won't feel bad about such a small thing. Please go over there quickly. I've seen Auntie looking over here several times."
Su Shiyu looked at Daohua and said, "Let's go over and talk for a few minutes and then come over to accompany you."
"I have my cousins with me, don't worry about me, go ahead."
Daohua smiled and pushed Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu out.
Ruizhu stood aside and watched silently, feeling a little puzzled. Why did she feel that Master Dong and the others looked at her strangely?
