Chapter 395, Sour
On the eighth day of September, after Yan Wenqi and his four companions had rested for two days, Old Lady Yan instructed Daohua and Yan Wenxiu to take them for a stroll in the provincial capital.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, the group left the house.
In the carriage, Daohua saw Yan Yunxi constantly looking at the veil and said with a smile, "It's a bit inconvenient to wear this."
Yan Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's not that I find it inconvenient, it's just that I've never worn it before, so I took a second look."
The main thing was that the gauze used on the veil was something she had never seen before. It was light, thin, soft and beautiful.
It's such a waste to use such good material to make hat curtains.
Yan Yunyan smiled and said, "I think this looks pretty good. When I went to Fengbai Mansion to visit my brother, I saw a girl wearing it. I went home and made one for myself, but I never had the chance to wear it."
In my hometown, even when I go to the county town to attend the market, I rarely see girls wearing veil hats. Everyone is busy making a living and has no spare money to buy such things.
Daohua smiled and said, "Then you'll have the chance to wear it when we go shopping today."
Afterwards, everyone went directly to the most prosperous and lively main street. Yan Wenxiu and the others mainly visited bookstores, calligraphy and painting shops, etc., while Daohua and the other two visited a more diverse range of places. If they saw something delicious, they would try some of it. If they saw jewelry or clothing stores, they would go in to take a look. Even if they didn't buy anything, they were happy.
Looking at the three girls who ran excitedly to the next jewelry store, Yan Wenxiu shook his head with a smile: "Next time we go out, we can't bring them with us. We've been spending most of the day with them."
After saying that, he looked at the sky.
"It's almost noon. There's a restaurant up ahead. The food there is pretty good. Let's go eat when my three sisters come out."
Yan Wenqi hesitated and asked, "Isn't it too expensive to eat out?"
Yan Wenxiu smiled and said, "It's okay, let my eldest sister treat them. That girl is a wealthy woman. The brothers and sisters in the clan have come here with great difficulty, so shouldn't she treat them in return?"
Thinking that Daohua has always been generous, Yan Wenqi and the others didn't say much. They didn't say much either, after all, the guest should follow the host's wishes.
At noon, Daohua ordered a table of dishes and a pot of wine in a restaurant. In order not to waste food, the group ate for more than an hour and only left the restaurant after they had finished every plate.
Daohua, Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan were all full. After leaving the restaurant, they did not take a carriage, but followed Yan Wenxiu and others to stroll along the street.
On the way, seeing someone selling candied haws, Daohua immediately pulled Yan Yunxi and ran over.
"Brother, do you want to eat?"
Yan Wenxiu was somewhat helpless: "Aren't you full?"
Daohua: "I'm so full that I want to buy some candied haws." Then she looked at the vendor and said, "Boss, give us one each so we can help digest the food."
Soon, everyone in Daohua had a string of candied haws in their hands.
Looking at the candied haws in his hand, Yan Wenxiu was a little amused and said, "Eating on the street is so disrespectful."
Daohua ignored these words and said to Yan Yunxi and the others, "Don't listen to my elder brother. We are covered by the veil, so we can't see."
Hearing this, Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan smiled at each other, then took the candied haws and started eating.
The group walked around and looked around, and before they knew it, they arrived at the glass shop opened by Xiao Yeyang.
At this moment, a carriage drove over and stopped in front of the glass shop.
When Daohua was hesitating whether to take Yan Wenqi and the others into the store to take a look, her eyes suddenly fixed.
What did she see?
The person who got off the carriage was actually Xiao Yeyang, and following behind him was a girl wearing a veil!
Almost instantly, Daohua felt uncomfortable.
Xiao Yeyang was riding in the same carriage with another girl!!!
"Brother, the glass shop in front is owned by Xiao Yeyang. You haven't been there yet, right? Now that we're here, let's go in and take a look."
After saying that, without waiting for Yan Wenxiu's response, he walked towards the store on his own.
Seeing this, Yan Wenxiu and the others had no choice but to hurry up and catch up.
"Welcome to our shop. We have a new batch of glass ornaments. Ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to take a look."
Daohua nodded to the clerk, then began to look around. Soon, she saw Xiao Yeyang in front of a display cabinet in the store.
The girl following him had already lifted the hood curtain. Daohua also knew this person. She was Jiang Wanying, who was Xiao Yeyang's childhood sweetheart.
"snort!"
As soon as Yan Wenxiu and the others came over, they heard Daohua's angry snort.
"Brother Yang, this glass rabbit is really beautifully made. Do you think my mother would like it if I take it home as a gift?"
Jiang Wanying looked at the glass ornaments with great interest: "What should I do, Brother Yang? I like all of these. I want to take them all home."
Xiao Yeyang suppressed his impatience and said calmly, "On your birthday, I'll give you a piece of colored glass. If you want the others, just bring enough silver."
Jiang Wanying pouted, put the ornament down, and looked at Xiao Yeyang eagerly: "Brother Yang, can't you give me a few more pieces of glass?"
Xiao Yeyang was unmoved: "Cousin Wanying, I'm doing business. If everyone is like you, I will be left with nothing but clothes."
Daohua likes money, and he is planning to sell more glass, and then use banknotes to make her happy.
Jiang Wanying: "But...but my father said that the Liulichang is very profitable, and you have sold the glass to the south."
Hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Yeyang's eyes.
The Jiang family was indeed keeping an eye on him!
"Your father isn't in charge of the Liulichang, so he doesn't know the specific situation." He called the manager over and said to him, "If Miss Jiang buys any glass later, one of them will be free for her."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang like this, Jiang Wanying felt very unhappy.
Mom was right. After coming to Zhongzhou, Brother Yang really became very stingy.
Xiao Yeyang was waving his hand to signal the manager to go down when he suddenly glanced at Yan Wenxiu and others standing near the shop entrance. Seeing one of the girls wearing a veil hat, his eyes suddenly lit up and he strode over.
"Wen Xiu, when did you come back?"
Yan Wenqi and the other three were marveling at the various exquisite colored glass in the shop when they suddenly heard someone calling Yan Wenxiu. Turning around, they saw an imposing young man in brocade clothes walking towards them.
Yan Wenxiu saw Xiao Yeyang and immediately went up to him: "Young Prince!"
Upon hearing the name, Yan Wenqi and the other four were even more shocked.
Little Prince.
The young man in front of me is actually a prince?
At this time, Xiao Yeyang had already walked over. He first glanced at Daohua, then smiled and said to Yan Wenxiu, "You're back. Why didn't you send anyone to inform us?"
Yan Wenxiu smiled and said, "I wanted to send someone to the military camp, but my mother and grandmother said it was not necessary. They said everyone would be able to see him in two days."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, quickly glanced at Daohua, and said with a smile: "That's true. During this period, we often followed Wentao and Wenkai to your house for free meals."
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Wanying came over and said to Yan Wenxiu: "Wanying greets Master Yan."
Yan Wenxiu immediately responded: "Hello, Miss Jiang." Then he turned to look at Daohua who was standing beside him.
Daohua had no choice but to lift her hat curtain and walked over, bowing: "Miss Jiang."
Looking at Daohua, who looked even more ethereal and otherworldly in her white gauze hat, Jiang Wanying's smile froze a little as she replied, "Miss Yan is here too."
Daohua quickly glanced at Xiao Yeyang beside her and said with a smile, "The brothers and sisters from the clan are here, and my eldest brother and I are accompanying them shopping. When did Miss Jiang come to Ningmen Mansion? With the young prince accompanying her personally, I guess she has already finished touring the city, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yeyang, who was originally feeling secretly happy about his chance encounter with Daohua, suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and began to rub his hands nervously.
Then, I heard Daohua say again.
"Isn't it a bit unfortunate that we came here? I just saw you and the young prince selecting colored glass. I hope we didn't disturb you. I'm really sorry. Otherwise, you can continue to select. We came in just to take a look."
