Chapter 704, poisonous tongue
As they watched the gate of Four Seasons Villa open wide and the carriage that Daohua was riding in slowly drive into the villa, everyone's expressions changed one after another, which was very exciting.
"Four Seasons Villa really belongs to the eldest daughter of the Yan family?!"
There was news before that the very famous Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Store and Four Seasons Seed Store in the capital were both opened by the eldest daughter of the Yan family. The newly appointed Jinling Guard Pacifier Yan Wenkai seemed to have promised Governor Wu and Prime Minister Yang that he would send them fresh fruits and vegetables from the Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Store every day. However, when they went to the store to make a purchase, they were verbally rejected.
They didn't know the specific situation, but after it happened, everyone thought Yan Wenkai had made a mistake, but they never thought it was true.
"Wasn't Minister Yan here just now? Where is Minister Yan?"
Someone remembered Yan Zhigao and suddenly shouted. Immediately, everyone started looking for Yan Zhigao everywhere, wanting to find out about Four Seasons Villa.
Unfortunately, Yan Zhigao dodged away at some point.
Some people with quick minds had their eyes flashing when they thought about the fact that the reputation of the Four Seasons Seed Store has been growing day by day among the people in the past two years because of the sale of high-yield seeds.
The reason why Four Seasons Seed Store and Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Store are so popular in Beijing is not only because of the high quality of the food they grow, but the main reason is their high yield.
Princess Huijia looked at Prince Yong and wondered in her heart whether Prince Yong also looked up to the Yan family because of the Four Seasons Seed Shop?
Prince Yong ignored Princess Huijia's gaze. Seeing that the gate of Four Seasons Villa was closed, he turned around and returned to his own villa. On the way, he called the secret guards.
"I'm asking you, is there anyone else in the carriage of the Lord of Shengping County?"
The secret guard nodded: "Yes, and he is a master, but his internal energy is a little weak, I don't know if it's because of injury or old age."
After hearing this, Prince Yong fell into deep thought.
He had seen the secret guard Dongli in the palace before. He didn't believe that he was trying to protect the eldest daughter of the Yan family. The Yan family was not that important.
"I remember the news you received earlier said that the reason the eldest daughter of the Yan family came to the capital late was because she had to take care of her master?"
Since the Yan family had two Jinling Guard pacification envoys, he had no choice but to pay attention to it and sent people to inquire about the Yan family's situation early on.
The secret guard nodded again.
Old Prince Yong narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the person in the carriage was the master of the eldest daughter of the Yan family.
The secret guards found very little information about the master of the eldest daughter of the Yan family. They only knew that he was a sixty-year-old man who knew some medical skills.
Is Dongli protecting the old man?
If so, that person’s identity is not simple.
Old Prince Yong waved his hand to signal the secret guards to withdraw, and quickly walked to the flower garden where everyone was gathered. As soon as he arrived, he asked the steward, "Where is Minister Yan?"
No matter what, we still have to be friends with the Yan family.
The steward said with a bitter face: "Minister Yan seems to have left. Everyone was looking for him just now, but unfortunately no one could find him."
After hearing this, Old Prince Yong couldn't help but laugh: "He's a sly fellow, alright, it's alright, go and do your thing."
On Princess Huijia's side, the female relatives were all talking about the rice flowers they had just seen.
"What do you think of the Shengping County Lady?"
"She's wearing a veil, how can you see clearly?"
"I've seen several girls from the Yan family before. They're all pretty. I think the Princess of Shengping County should be pretty too."
Wu Xirong listened to everyone's discussion and curled her lips at Kang Naixin, saying, "I don't know what the Shengping County Master looks like, but they say like master, like servant. Judging from the performance of that maid just now, she must be an extremely powerful one."
Kang Naixin nodded in agreement: "A gentle master can't teach a girl like that."
Four Seasons Villa.
Compared with other villas that are mostly built on flat land, Four Seasons Villa is at a higher altitude, and the courtyard is built halfway up the mountain.
After entering the villa, Daohua helped Gu Jian get off the carriage, and the master and disciple looked at everything in the villa curiously.
"Master, I'll take you to rest first. Once you've recovered, we can take a leisurely stroll. By the way, the villa next door belongs to Xiao Yeyang. If you get bored of living here, you can stay there for a while."
The master and the disciple entered the courtyard halfway up the mountain. Standing on the viewing tower in the courtyard, they could have a panoramic view of the entire farmland below.
Gu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "This place is not bad."
Afterwards, the master and disciple went back to their own courtyards to rest.
After traveling for more than a month, Daohua was exhausted. She quickly washed up and lay down on the bed without moving. She planned to rest for two days before returning to Yan's house.
That afternoon, Xiao Yeyang, who received the news, rode a fast horse and galloped towards Four Seasons Villa at high speed.
On horseback, Xiao Yeyang felt excited at the thought that he would soon see the rice flowers. It had been two years since he and his Yi Yi had seen each other!
Horses galloped on the official road, stirring up clouds of dust.
The families who came to participate in the flower viewing party today were riding in carriages back to the city. On the way, they saw Xiao Yeyang and his guards speeding past, and they all looked sideways.
There's no way, this is Xiao Yeyang.
Whether it was his high-profile appearance on the first day back in Beijing, or his quick handling of the Eight Kings' gang case after returning to Beijing, this man's every move attracted everyone's attention.
"Xiao Yeyang went to Tangyu Mountain."
"It's evening now, what is he doing over there?"
"Could it be that there are followers of the Eight Princes hiding over there?"
There are many different opinions.
Old Prince Yong also stretched his head to look for a long time, until he could no longer see the figures of Xiao Yeyang and others. Then he withdrew his gaze and returned to the carriage. After a moment of hesitation, he called the secret guards: "Go, follow Xiao Yeyang and see where he went."
Just as the secret guard was about to leave, Old Prince Yong stopped him again: "Forget it, don't go."
Xiao Yeyang is no empty talker, he is a real capable person. The secret guards may not be able to hide it from him. Besides, Dongli is the emperor's secret guard. No matter why he appears next to the eldest daughter of the Yan family, it is better for him to stay out of it.
The men talked about current affairs, while the women talked more about Xiao Yeyang.
Wu Xirong asked curiously, "Nai Xin, do you think Xiao Yeyang is not interested in women? I heard that the Queen Mother offered him a palace maid as a reward at the welcoming banquet she held for him, but he flatly refused."
Kang Naixin laughed. "It wasn't just the maid who was rejected. The Queen Mother wanted Jiang Wanying to pour him some wine. Guess what he said?"
Wu Xirong was intrigued: "How do you say that?"
Kang Naixin imitated Xiao Yeyang's behavior at the banquet and said with a stern face: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Miss Jiang is not a maid, so there is no need to trouble her." As she said that, she laughed.
"You didn't see it. Jiang Wanying's face was red with shame."
Wu Xirong clicked her tongue twice: "I didn't expect Xiao Yeyang to be so...venomous."
Kang Naixin laughed and said, "Isn't it? Not only did he call Jiang Wanying "Miss Jiang", he also didn't give her any face at all. Seeing this, I feel both happy and worried."
Wu Xirong wondered, "What are you worried about?"
Kang Naixin: "I'm worried that Xiao Yeyang will turn his venomous tongue on me!"
Wu Xirong thought of Xiao Yeyang mentioned by her younger brother and immediately said, "Then you must be very disappointed now."
Kang Naixin nodded and shrugged, "That's right, I've seen Xiao Yeyang a few times in the palace, but every time he saw me, he just ignored me."
On the other side, after a rush, Xiao Yeyang arrived outside the Four Seasons Villa, watched for a few seconds, rode past quickly, and finally stopped in front of the Sunflower Villa next door.
Xiao Yeyang dismounted and threw the reins to Defu behind him, then he quickly entered the villa.
His farm and Daohua's farm are right next to each other. When he came here before, he secretly opened up the connection between the two farms.
Now that the emperor's uncle has not issued an edict to grant the marriage, he doesn't want to cause any rumors for Daohua.
Soon, Xiao Yeyang stepped into the Four Seasons Villa. Thinking of the rice flowers he was about to see, he suddenly became a little nervous.
I haven't seen him for two years. I wonder what he looks like now. Will I be happy to see him?
