Chapter 437, Picking Chrysanthemums in the East Fence
Although Gu Jian was happy that Daohua had found a gold mine, he still had some complaints about her sleeping outdoors: "Although you have your reasons, it's still wrong for a girl like you to sleep outdoors alone."
Daohua couldn't help but retort: "I'm not alone outside, my third and fourth brothers are with me."
Gu Jian glared at him, "Your two brothers are still children. They are not yet capable of taking care of themselves. How can they take care of you?"
Daohua: "Then I didn't go anywhere else. I went to find Xiao Yeyang. He will protect me. If it was someone else, I naturally wouldn't go."
Seeing that his disciple seemed to trust his nephew completely, Gu Jian suddenly didn't know what to say.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile, feeling secretly happy in his heart. Daohua's words meant that in her heart, he was different from others and could be completely trusted?
Seeing that Gu Jian was about to scold the two children, Granny Gu glared at him and said with a smile, "Forget it this time, but don't do it again next time."
Daohua nodded quickly: "I promise it won't happen again."
Gu Jian snorted and didn't say anything more.
Daohua glanced at the sky and said with a smile, "Grandma, Master, it's almost noon. I'll go make dinner for you."
Xiao Yeyang immediately said, "I'll go light the fire."
After coming out of the house, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang in confusion: "It's normal for me to be afraid of Master. What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "I don't know. Seeing Master Gu's stern face, I was also quite scared."
The two walked towards the kitchen, but before they entered, they saw an unfamiliar maid and boy coming out of the kitchen.
"Your servant Caiju greets the young master and the young lady."
"The servant Dongli greets the young master and the young lady."
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other, stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
"They are the maids and servants that the master has just bought."
Gu Jian walked out of the main room.
Daohua: "Master, when did you buy people?" As he said this, he looked at Caiju and Dongli carefully. Seeing that they were dressed neatly, their hair was combed meticulously, and their behavior was quite proper, his eyes flashed.
Gu Jian rolled his eyes at her and said, "Does my master need to consult with you before doing anything?"
Daohua: "Master, that's not what I meant. I meant that if you need a maid or servant, just tell me and I'll send one to you. Isn't that better than finding one outside?"
At this time, Granny Gu came out with a smile: "Silly girl, your master is joking with you. I think Caiju and Dongli are good people. You don't need to send anyone over."
Daohua smiled and nodded, then walked over to Gu Jian and whispered, "Master, are these two reliable? They seem to have received special training."
Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice and said, "You have sharp eyes. If he hadn't been trained, I wouldn't have bought him. How can I just find someone ugly to take care of my sister?"
"These two men used to work for wealthy families. They are quite skillful and well-behaved. I think they are good, so I bought them."
Seeing Daohua was about to say something, Gu Jian said directly, "Alright, stop worrying about it. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. How could I be less good at judging people than you?"
"My teacher and your mother-in-law are already buried up to their necks in the ground. Who would still care about them? Besides, if they really were bad, it would only take two pills to cure them."
Daohua stopped talking. She almost forgot that her master was a master of poison and had good martial arts skills. Although he was old, ordinary people really couldn't hurt him.
Xiao Yeyang stood by without saying a word, but his eyes occasionally swept towards Caiju and Dongli.
Every time their eyes swept over, Caiju and Dongli would lower their heads.
Granny Gu looked at Daohua with a smile and said, "Aren't you going to cook? Go quickly. I'm really craving the honey yam you made."
Rice Flower: "Then I'll do it right away."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Caiju and Dongli, then followed them into the kitchen.
Gu Jian saw Caiju and Dongli standing at the kitchen door, looking unsure of what to do, and said, "Just go and do what you need to do."
"Yes." Caiju and Dongli lowered their heads together.
After Gu Jian helped Grandma Gu back to the house, they both breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they turned around and saw Xiao Yeyang sitting behind the stove and making a fire himself, the breath they had just exhaled was inhaled again.
As the legitimate son of a prince, it would have been fine if he had just entered the kitchen, he even started the fire himself. Not only that, he also diligently helped Miss Yan pass the bowls and spoons. Looking at his happy face, anyone who didn't know him would have thought he was doing something interesting.
Just as the two were stunned, Xiao Yeyang's gaze swept over them, and they immediately lowered their heads and walked away from the kitchen.
"He is the son and grandson of the dragon after all. The aura around him is really terrifying."
Walking into the yard, Dongli couldn't help but mutter something, but as soon as the words came out, his face immediately became alert and he quickly glanced at the roof.
Caiju immediately pulled his sleeve and said, "It's time to fertilize the flower garden. Let's go and tidy it up." They were just ordinary maids and servants, and they didn't know any martial arts.
Dongli nodded and followed Caiju towards the back of the yard.
After entering the backyard, Caiju spoke: "That must be the young prince's secret guard."
Dong Li: "Not only the young prince, but Miss Yan also has secret guards. I took a look and saw that the two people on the roof were divided into two groups."
Caiju: "Be careful, Eunuch An said that the young prince and Miss Yan are very smart. Don't let them discover our identities."
Dong Li looked worried: "But from the look on the young prince's face, he seems to be a little suspicious of us."
Caiju was also a little troubled. She and Dongli were the best secret guards among the imperial guards, and they almost exposed their true colors as soon as they met the young prince and Miss Yan.
"Fortunately, the two of them won't stay in Taohua An forever."
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang did not stay long. They left the next day.
Daohua had to go back because she had been away for quite some time; Xiao Yeyang was thinking about the gold mine, and although he didn't have to do some things himself, he still wanted to keep an eye on them personally.
In front of the dock, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua stood opposite each other.
Rice Flower: "It's getting late. I should get on the boat. You should also get on your horse and go."
Xiao Yeyang: "Well, you've seen the food in the military camp. In the future, I will inevitably come to your house with your two brothers to eat. You won't be unwelcome, right?"
Daohua: "What you eat and drink comes from my parents. What does it matter if I welcome you or not?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Of course it matters. You are the eldest daughter of the Yan family. If I go to your house, I have to see your face. If you don't look good, I naturally can't glare at you."
Daohua snorted and said, "I didn't see you being embarrassed before, but now you are being polite. It's up to you to go or not, I don't care."
Xiao Yeyang smiled silently: "Then I will take it as your welcome to me."
Daohua glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to get on the boat.
Soon, the boat started moving and slowly moved away from the dock.
Looking at Xiao Yeyang standing on the shore and getting farther and farther away from her, Daohua felt a little reluctant for the first time.
During the ten days or so at Ningmen Pass, she had been with this guy day and night. His care, his consideration, and his concern made her want to continue like this forever.
But, can his feelings last forever? Can they belong to her forever?
On Peach Blossom Mountain, Granny Gu and Gu Jian stood in the pavilion, watching the two children looking at each other from afar. They could sense the reluctance to part with each other even from a distance.
