Chapter 360, Contradiction
"Girl, you're finally back!"
At Daohuaxuan, Wang Maner heard someone knocking on the door and immediately opened it. When she saw her daughter coming back, she felt relieved.
Daohua slipped into the yard, looked at the quiet rooms, and asked in a low voice, "No one knows I'm out, right?"
Wang Man'er shook her head: "No one knows. I even sent Guyu and Lixia away."
Daohua felt relieved and quickly returned to the house.
Wang Maner fetched some hot water and helped Daohua wash her face first. Then she helped her take off her hairpins and comb her hair into a bun. Finally, she brought her a change of pajamas and nightgown.
After Daohua changed her clothes, she said to Wang Maner, "Okay, I'm fine now. You've been waiting for most of the day and must be tired. Go to sleep now."
Wang Maner nodded: "Then have a good rest, girl."
Daohua lay down on the bed only after Wang Maner left. Until this moment, her heart was still beating fast.
Daohua put her hand on her chest, and through the thin gauze clothes, she could clearly feel the strong beating of her heart.
Thinking of the scene where she was almost discovered by Uncle Qin Wu, Daohua's mouth curled up slightly. Apart from the initial nervousness and uneasiness, it was quite exciting to think about it now.
only
Xiao Yeyang's unintentional intimate actions made her feel a little at a loss. Rationally, she knew that she should stay away from him, but every time she saw it, she couldn't turn a blind eye. Moreover, she didn't reject Xiao Yeyang's kindness to her, on the contrary, she sometimes enjoyed it.
Daohua turned over in annoyance. Her heart was a little confused and conflicted at the moment, and her mind was muddled. She felt like she was trapped in a maze. She wanted to retreat, but she couldn't help but go deeper and deeper.
So annoying!
Don’t think about it!
Rice Flower was too lazy to think deeply. She looked through the window at the moon hanging high in the sky, and became distracted. She didn't know how long it took before she slowly closed her eyes.
The next morning, Wang Maner came to wake Daohua up. While she was washing and dressing her, she noticed that her eyes looked a little dark. She immediately asked, "Miss, did you not sleep well last night?"
Daohua squinted her eyes and nodded: "I don't know what happened last night. I tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep."
Guyu smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the weather is too hot. It will be fine after August."
Wang Maner glanced at the several ice basins in the room with a puzzled look on her face. This shouldn't be the case. The girl had lived like this before and she never had trouble sleeping.
Daohua yawned and said, "Bring me a basin of cold water later so I can wake up."
Guyu agreed with a smile.
When Daohua arrived at Old Lady Yan's yard, the other members of the Yan family had already arrived. Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan and others were also there, talking to Yan Wenxiu.
Daohua greeted everyone and then sat down next to the old lady.
Xiao Yeyang noticed that she was not in a good mood and frowned slightly.
She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have lured her to the roof to watch the moon last night. Not only did this guy drink, but he also fell from the tree and scared her. I'm afraid he didn't sleep well last night.
He wanted to take a few more glances, but when he noticed Madam Li's gaze on him, Xiao Yeyang immediately looked away without making a sound, and turned to chat with Dong Yuanxuan and the others.
After breakfast, the female members of the Yan family sent Yan Wenxiu to the gate and stopped there, while the male members of the Yan family sent Yan Wenxiu to the dock.
Daohua wanted to follow, but was stopped by Madam Li. After Yan Yihan and the others said their blessings, she also said a few words to Yan Wenxiu: "Brother, during the exam, don't panic, don't be anxious, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just perform at your normal level."
After hearing this, Yan Wenxiu smiled knowingly.
His family had extremely high expectations of him, and accordingly, he was under a lot of pressure. These days, he had heard too many blessings for getting into high school, so only his eldest sister took into consideration the pressure he was under.
This little sister is sometimes a real worry, and sometimes she is so heartwarming.
Su Hongxin suddenly laughed and said, "Sister Yan, you're not right. How can we just perform normally? We have to perform beyond our normal level!"
Daohua looked over and said with a smile, "Extraordinary performance is for those who don't have a solid foundation in knowledge. My eldest brother's knowledge is first-class, so we just need to perform normally."
Su Hongxin laughed: "You are not modest at all to your brother."
Daohua shrugged, spread her hands, and said innocently, "It's something everyone recognizes. Even if I want to be modest, I can't."
Seeing her like this, the others immediately laughed.
Yan Wenxiu felt much more relaxed. After saying goodbye to everyone in the Yan family, he mounted his horse and prepared to leave the city.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua who was leaning against Old Lady Yan, and quickly jumped on his horse. Soon, the group left.
A few days after Yan Wenxiu left, rumors began to circulate in Ningmen Prefecture that Xiangyang Liulichang was going to start selling glass.
When Daohua heard the news, she was a little surprised at first, but soon she was relieved. The glass factory had been built for some time, so it was not surprising that it had started producing glass. So she sent Qin Xiaoliu to inquire about the market price of glass.
"Miss, the first batch of glass produced by Xiangyang Glass Factory will be sold on the first day of August. At the same time, we will start accepting pre-orders from the beginning of August."
Hearing this, Daohua didn't react at all, but Wang Maner exclaimed in surprise: "The first day of August, isn't this the girl's birthday?"
Daohua's eyes flashed. Could it be that Xiao Yeyang chose this day on purpose?
Qin Xiaoliu continued, "The Liulichang has spread the word that thirteen sets of Liuli tea sets will be given away for free that day. Anyone who goes to Liulichang that day will have a chance to get one."
At this moment, Daohua was sure that Xiao Yeyang had done it on purpose. Then the corners of her mouth turned upwards, and a smile flashed across her eyes: "This guy is really good at handling things."
Wang Man'er, however, looked distressed: "Thirteen sets of glass tea sets, how much silver would that cost? It would be better to give it to us than to give it away for free."
Daohua, who was in a happy mood, heard this and looked at Wang Maner speechlessly: "What do you know? Xiao Yeyang is just trying to gain popularity."
"Think about it, if people knew there was a free glass tea set available, wouldn't they all pay attention just for that slight chance of getting it? Word would spread like wildfire, and more and more people would know about it."
Wang Man'er's face showed a sudden realization. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect the young prince to be quite good at business." After a pause, she asked with a smile, "Miss, the young prince has opened the Liulichang. Do you think he will send us some?"
Daohua: "I have money for your daughter, I can buy her myself."
Wang Man'er: "But I bought it myself, it's different from the one the little prince gave me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pingtong came in with a smile.
Daohua was surprised: "Sister Pingtong, why are you here?"
Ping Tong handed over the letter in her hand: "I am here to deliver a letter. This is a letter from the Fourth Master to the young lady."
Daohua took the letter and said in surprise, "Okay, what letter did Fourth Brother write to me?" As she spoke, she opened the letter.
The letter was written by her fourth brother, but the content in the letter was obviously written in Xiao Yeyang's tone.
Needless to say, this letter should have been written by her fourth brother as Xiao Yeyang said, and the two of them worked together to complete it.
Looking at the increasingly bright smile on Daohua's face, Wang Maner and Pingtong were both curious.
"Miss, what did the Fourth Master say? Why are you so happy?"
Daohua put the letter away and suppressed the smile on her face. "Nothing much. It's just that Fourth Brother, relying on his good relationship with the young prince, ordered a batch of colored glass for our family."
Wang Man'er opened her mouth and asked, "Do you want silver?"
Daohua choked again: "Girl, why do you keep talking about money? Are you obsessed with money?"
Wang Man'er muttered, "Who made the glass so expensive? I feel bad for it."
Daohua smiled and said, "It's a birthday gift, so I don't think I want it."
