Chapter 402: The Weird Farmer
In a blink of an eye, three of the five glass lamps just received were gone, leaving only the last two.
Daohua looked at Wang Maner, thought for a moment, and said, "Send it to Yunxi and Yunyan immediately. I'm afraid someone else will come and ask for it later."
Upon hearing this, Wang Maner immediately turned around and walked towards the warehouse.
As soon as the Fourth Master left with the glass lamp, the First and Third Masters came looking for him. Now I’m afraid everyone else in the mansion knows about it. If they come to ask for it again, it will be difficult for the girl to refuse.
When we went to the glass shop two days ago, the girl took Miss Yunxi and Miss Yunyan and left directly without taking the glass teapot given by the young prince. It was time to return two pieces.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Man'er walked out of the yard carrying the glass lantern, Yan Yile came over with Yan Yishuang and Yan Yihan.
Before they could speak, Daohua took the initiative to say, "You are too late. I only got five glass lamps in total, and now I have given them all away."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yile and the other two all looked disappointed.
Yan Yile moved her lips and couldn't help asking, "Big sister, do you think you can do this?"
"cannot!"
Daohua knew what she was going to say and interrupted her: "I helped Defu a little, so he gave me a glass lamp to thank me. He has already given me five, so how can I ask for more?"
"The glass shop is right there anyway. If you really like it, go buy it yourself."
Yan Yile pouted and stopped talking.
If they could afford it, why would they come here begging for it?
Daohua stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Grandma and Dad should have packed up by now. We should go meet them up."
Watching Daohua and the maids leave the yard, Yan Yile and the other two had no choice but to follow them with their heads down.
Yan Yile: "Of the five glass lamps, I gave one each to my eldest, third, and fourth brothers. Who did you give the remaining two to?"
Yan Yishuang nodded with her chin at Wang Man'er, who was walking towards the guest house. "Isn't this obvious?"
Yan Yile pouted and said, "Big sister treats outsiders better than us."
Yan Yihan glared at her and said, "You're talking nonsense again. What outsider? She's my clan sister. Besides, my eldest sister can give her things to whoever she wants. What right do you have to say that?"
Yan Yishuang sneered immediately: "Second sister is becoming more and more like the eldest sister now. However, second sister, have you ever heard of the term "Dong Shi Xiou Pin"?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Yihan's expression changed immediately.
Yan Yishuang smiled and said, "I still have some things to pack, so I'll leave first."
Yan Yile looked at Yan Yishuang who was walking away, then looked at her sister who had a grim expression on her face, and asked, "Sister, what does she mean?"
Yan Yihan calmed down and said calmly, "She said I was imitating my elder sister. Don't pay attention to her. Now she can only feel her existence through us."
Having said that, he pulled Yan Yile back to the second room.
At this time, all the rooms have been almost cleaned up, the carriage is ready, and everyone can go out as soon as they arrive.
The Yan family did not go far on this trip, but went to Qiyuan Mountain on the outskirts of the city to climb the mountain and appreciate the chrysanthemums.
During the Double Ninth Festival, many people went out to play. As soon as the Yan family got off the carriage, they met many acquaintances.
Compared to Xingzhou, the Yan family quickly gained a foothold after arriving at Ningmen Mansion. Everyone knew that Yan Zhigao was chosen by the emperor, so no one dared to make trouble for him openly.
Look, after only half a year, the Yan family and the other families in Ningmen Mansion have become familiar with each other.
Mrs. Li supported Old Lady Yan and took Miss Sun, Miss Wu and Daohua to meet the women of each family. They gathered in the pavilion to appreciate the chrysanthemums, drink tea and chat.
Daohua was not interested in the topic the girls were talking about. She whispered to Madam Li, "Mom, I want to take Yunxi and Yunyan to climb the mountain."
Madam Li looked helpless: "It's only been a short while, and you can't sit still anymore?"
Daohua: "Mother, it's so boring sitting here. The girls from various families are either saying how beautiful the clothes at Jinyi Pavilion are, or that the Luanzhu Shop has new jewelry. Tell me, what's there to talk about? Also, Yunxi and Yunyan can't get a word in. I think they're quite uncomfortable."
Madam Li quickly glanced at Yan Yunxi and the other girl. Seeing them holding teacups and looking awkwardly at the girls from different families, she thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, you can go. Just call your brothers and bring the maids and servants along."
Daohua quickly smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked towards Yan Yunxi and the others: "Do you want to go hiking?"
Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it okay?"
Daohua smiled and said, "Of course, we came out to climb mountains today anyway."
Yan Yunxi and the other person nodded immediately.
Daohua looked at Yan Yihan and the other two again and asked, "Are you three sisters going?"
All three shook their heads.
Daohua just asked casually. She didn't like this kind of tea party for girls, but Yan Yihan and the other two liked it very much, especially now that the ladies of each family were there. Judging from their expressions, they also wanted to perform well.
Soon, Daohua came out with Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan.
"Man'er, go see what Big Brother and the others are doing? If they don't have anything urgent to do, ask them if they'd like to accompany us to climb the mountain."
Wang Maner quickly went to the men's side, and soon came over with Yan Wenkai, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenyi.
Daohua asked with a smile, "Why are there only three of you?"
Yan Wenkai said, "Big brother and the others are competing in poetry with the young masters of various families."
Daohua smiled and said, "In that case, let's go hiking."
Yan Wenyi smiled and said, "Okay, sister Yiyi, let's have a competition. I wonder if your hands and feet are still as flexible and light as they were when you were a child."
Daohua raised her chin and said, "Just wait and see. I'm going to show you my skills today."
Afterwards, the group climbed up the mountain.
Only then did Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan become truly happy. Just now, when they were sitting among the young ladies, they didn't know what to do with their hands and feet. They could only sit stiffly, fearing that they would bring shame to Uncle Yan's family.
A few people climbed to the top of the mountain, enjoyed the scenery for a while, had lunch in a temple on the mountain, and then slowly came down.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Daohua paused, stopped and looked at the farmers passing by.
"Big sister, why don't you leave?" Yan Wenkai asked loudly.
Daohua had a strange look on her face and whispered, "Most of the farmers I see are rather frail. Those from better-off families are at best sturdy. But look at those men, Third Brother and Fourth Brother, they're all strong and robust. Don't they look a bit like martial artists like you?"
Several "farmers" who had already walked more than ten meters away paused slightly when they heard Daohua's words, and then their steps became faster.
Even without looking back, they could sense two strong, inquiring gazes falling on them.
Looking at the steady and swift pace of those people, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai couldn't help but narrow their eyes.
"Oh, what's so strange about this? Maybe their family is a landlord and they eat well. Isn't Mr. Ma in our village also fat and big-eared?"
Yan Wenyi smiled and said, "It's getting late. We can't let Sixth Grandma and the others wait for us. Let's go back quickly."
