Chapter 580: Inseparable
Gu Jian prepared Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum that night, and changed the medicine formula for Grandma Gu the next day. That night, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang found that Gu Jian went to Grandma Gu's house less often than usual.
"The Ganoderma and Polygonum multiflorum you brought back this time are very effective. After taking the new medicine, my sister sleeps more soundly and peacefully at night than before."
Seeing that Gu Jian's brows were no longer furrowed, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang felt relieved.
Daohua: "Master, tomorrow is the third day of the fifth lunar month. We have to go back. We will come to see you and grandma after the Dragon Boat Festival."
Gu Jian nodded and said, "It's time to go back. You've been out long enough this time. Next time you come, remember to bring your grandmother along."
Rice Flower: "Okay."
After breakfast, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang boarded the boat and left.
As soon as the two left, Dongli sent news to the capital. After the old lady fell ill, the master had been worried about her and would write to inquire about her every few days. Now the two missing medicines have been found, and the old lady's condition has improved after taking the new medicine. It's time for the master to rest assured.
Because of the arrival of the Guo and Jiang families, many people were staring at Xiao Yeyang. In order not to be noticed, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua to the abandoned dock.
After getting off the boat, Xiao Yeyang accompanied Daohua in the carriage for a while as usual.
"After you go back this time, are you going to visit Mrs. Guo?" Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang curiously.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and smiled, "Do you want me to go?"
Daohua turned her head to the window and said, "You can go or not, she is your aunt, it has nothing to do with me."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, took Daohua's chrysanthemum brocade fan and waved it gently, saying casually: "My aunt is not very close to me, but for the sake of my uncle, I must meet her."
As he spoke, a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
"I can't remember what my cousin Xueming looks like anymore, but they say girls change a lot when they grow up. And since you praised her so much before, I have to go and see how pretty she has become."
Daohua glanced over and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down. I'd like to congratulate you on having another beautiful cousin."
Listening to Daohua's sour words, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but chuckle. He moved a little and sat next to Daohua: "That's not necessarily true. I have very high standards."
Seeing him looking at her with a smile, Daohua snatched the fan, fanned herself, looked out the window and ignored him.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang nudged the rice flowers with his elbow and chuckled, "With Miss Yan as a shining example, ordinary people are not worthy of my attention."
Hearing this, Daohua turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yeyang: "I don't deserve it. I'm just the daughter of a small prefect. How can I compare to the daughter of a noble family like the Duke's."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua's expression. Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, he restrained the smile on his face and grabbed Daohua's hand: "In my heart, no one can compare to you."
Daohua shook her hands, trying to shake Xiao Yeyang off, but unfortunately she failed. Finally, she just waved her fan and said, "You may not care about my identity, but there are people who do, maybe."
Having said that, Daohua sat up straight and looked directly at Xiao Yeyang.
"Maybe one day, someone will force you to make a choice."
Xiao Yeyang's face suddenly became serious, and he looked at Daohua steadily: "That day won't come. I know what you are going to say. Some people have to obey their family's arrangements because they can't leave their family and are reluctant to give up everything their family has given them. But I can, I can..."
Daohua quickly covered Xiao Yeyang's mouth with her round fan, stopping him from continuing: "Don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Yeyang took away the round fan, stretched out his hand to straighten Daohua's body, and looked at her: "Yan Yiyi, I will work hard to accumulate merits. Believe me, I am no longer the person I was when I was little. I will not let others control my life anymore."
Daohua didn't want to discuss this heavy and complicated topic. She waved her fan quickly. Seeing more people walking outside the window, she quickly changed the subject: "We should be reaching the city gate now. Isn't it time for you to get off the carriage?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua. If he could go to her house to propose marriage himself, he really wanted to make things clear with Daohua and settle the matter so that this guy wouldn't have to think too much.
At this time, Defu's voice sounded.
"Master, it's time to get off the car."
Xiao Yeyang hummed and looked at Daohua: "I'm getting off the car. I'll let your fourth brother tell you if there's anything."
Daohua asked hurriedly, "How did you win over my fourth brother and make him agree to help you pass on the message?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Of course it's because of my personal charm. Who wouldn't be convinced by such an outstanding person like me?" After that, he jumped off the carriage.
Daohua smiled and shook her head: "How narcissistic."
"What are you saying about me?"
At this time, Xiao Yeyang opened the car curtain from outside, stretched his neck to look at Daohua's right foot and said, "You need to take good care of your foot. Don't move it around for the next two days."
Daohua said "hmm".
Xiao Yeyang added: "I want to eat the rice dumplings you made. You have to give me a few more this time."
Rice Flower: "Didn't you ask me to take care of it? How can I have the time to do it?"
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "Okay then, if I can't eat what you made, I can eat from your home."
Daohua laughed unhappily and said, "You're not picky."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "When your foot is healed, you have to make me some delicious food to make up for it."
"That depends on whether I'm in the mood to do it."
"Anyway, I'm waiting to eat it. By the way, you have to give me a few of the watermelons you brought back this time."
"Look at you, you're such a loser. It's just a few watermelons, is it worth it for you to talk so much about it?"
"Watermelon is a rare commodity during the Dragon Boat Festival, and only your family can grow it in advance."
“.”
Next to the carriage, Defu saw that his master had gotten off the carriage, but was still arguing with Miss Yan. He looked at Wang Man'er beside him with some tiredness and couldn't help muttering.
"I really don't know what there is to say. Every time we separate, it's so endless."
Wang Maner glanced at him and said, "You don't understand." Two people who like each other will always feel reluctant to part.
Defu choked, feeling he was being looked down upon. He immediately stiffened his neck and said, "Why don't I understand? Master and Miss Yan are in love right now and don't want to be apart for a moment. Even a short separation will make them miss each other, so every time they say goodbye, they dawdle and procrastinate."
After hearing this, Wang Man'er quickly looked around, then glared at Defu and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, damn it! If others hear this, how will my daughter live?"
Defu covered his mouth. Seeing that Xiao Yeyang didn't notice him, he quickly begged for mercy: "Aunt Man'er, I said something wrong. Please don't bear grudges, but please don't tell Miss Yan."
If Miss Yan knew about this, she would definitely be angry. If she was angry and ignored her master, would he be in any good situation?
After Defu's repeated assurances, Wang Maner's complexion gradually improved.
On this side, Xiao Yeyang saw that the city gate had appeared in his sight, so he reluctantly lowered the curtain and watched the carriage go away.
Yan Mansion.
When Mrs. Li saw her daughter limping back, her expression immediately changed: "What happened?"
Daohua quickly explained, "Mom, don't worry. I just sprained my ankle while picking herbs. I've already applied some medicine and it will be healed in two days."
Madam Li frowned. "Even if you need to collect herbs, you don't have to go there in person. If Granny Gu needs any herbs, just tell me and I'll find them. If you can't find them in Zhongzhou, I'll ask your uncle to look for them in other provinces."
Daohua smiled and said, "I have found it. I even brought back a few seedlings to plant." Then, she happily told Mrs. Li about finding Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum.
Mrs. Li smiled after hearing this: "Your grandmother mentioned Granny Gu's condition earlier. I'll tell her about it later and reassure her."
Daohua nodded and said, "Master said that after the Dragon Boat Festival, he will let Grandma stay in Taohua Village for two days. He will personally prepare medicinal food for Grandma, which will be good for her health."
Madam Li smiled and said, "That's great. Your grandmother and Granny Gu can get along very well. Besides, the weather is getting hotter now. If you let your grandmother stay at the farm for a few days, she'll be happy too."
Daohua nodded with a smile, and suddenly her eyes swept across the post on the table. She couldn't help but ask, "Whose post is this?"
Madam Li: "The Guo family."
Daohua reached out and took the invitation, looking at it and asked, "Didn't the Guo family just hold a banquet? Why are they holding another one?"
Madam Li: "This time, Governor Guo invited our family to go to Ningmenguan to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival."
Daohua was puzzled: "The river mouth over at Ningmen Pass is quite turbulent. It must be difficult to race a dragon boat there."
Madam Li smiled and nodded. "That's right. However, it's precisely because it's difficult that it's worth watching. I heard that the strongest dragon boat teams from the provincial government will be participating, and people from some nearby states will also participate."
Daohua: "It sounds lively. I want to go too."
Afterwards, Daohua went to Songheyuan to pay her respects to Old Madam Yan, chatted with the old lady for a while, and then returned to her own courtyard.
After returning to the house, Daohua sent Wang Man'er and the others away and stayed in the house alone. She put the collected Polygonum multiflorum seedlings and a piece of rotten tree trunk planted with Ganoderma lucidum spore powder into the space.
Just as she finished doing this, Wang Maner's voice rang out from outside the house: "Girl, Sun Changze is here."
When Daohua heard this, her eyes lit up: "Let him in quickly."
Wang Maner: "When the master heard that he was your friend, he invited him to the front yard to talk."
Daohua: "Okay, let's go meet him in the front yard."
