Chapter 762, Lessons
On the fourth day of July, the Su family went to Beijing.
Su Shiyu's arrival made Yan Wenkai so happy that he ran to Su's house every day.
"Big sister!"
Watching Yan Wenkai stride towards her, Daohua glanced at the sky and said jokingly, "Oh, it's not even dark yet. Fourth brother, why are you so reluctant to go home?"
Yan Wenkai walked up to his sister with a smile and said, "Fourth brother missed you. Well, I went to the posthouse today and saw the people from Western Liao sorting their things. I saw some seeds, so I asked them for some."
Daohua's face lit up with joy, and she happily took the small bundle. Then she looked at her fourth brother with a smirk, "If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he's either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you, fourth brother?"
Yan Wenkai laughed loudly and said, "The one who knows me best is my elder sister!" As he spoke, his face fell and he sighed several times.
Daohua ignored his pretense and looked down at the seeds in the bag. When she saw cotton seeds, her eyes lit up. Cotton was planted in many places in summer, but the yield was not very good. When winter came, many people had to suffer the cold.
I hadn't thought of it before, but now that I've encountered it, I can use space to cultivate a batch of high-yield cotton seeds.
Seeing Daohua didn't respond, Yan Wenkai felt helpless and had to take the initiative to speak: "Big sister, Shiyu has been in Beijing for several days, and you didn't even ask her out for a walk or something?"
Daohua stopped looking at the seeds and shifted her gaze to her fourth brother: "I'm just thinking about Sister Su's fatigue from the journey, and I want her to rest more."
Yan Wenkai: "I've been resting for several days now, I can start posting now."
Daohua glared at him and said, "Fourth brother, you keep running to the Su family every day. Haven't you seen enough?"
When talking about this, Yan Wenkai complained a lot: "Oh, don't mention it. Every time I go to the Su family, either Old Master Su asks me to talk to him, or Aunt Su asks me to drink tea and chat. I don't even have the chance to be alone with Shiyu. It's so annoying."
As he said that, he pulled on Daohua's sleeve.
"Big sister, I haven't seen Shiyu for two or three years. She must be a little unfamiliar with me. I need to find opportunities to spend more time with her so that we can get to know each other better. Don't you think so?"
"Good sister, Fourth Brother loves you so much, you must help Fourth Brother!"
"In a couple of days, I'll be taking a day off. Please ask Shiyu out for me. Fourth Brother, I'll take you to Reed Bay in the suburbs of Beijing to go boating and cool off. I tell you, Reed Bay is absolutely beautiful, with reeds, shade trees, and green water. Rowing with a wooden oar is both cool and poetic."
Daohua said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you also understand poetry?"
Yan Wenkai: "Your fourth brother doesn't understand, but your future fourth sister-in-law does. Okay?" As he said this, he shook Daohua's arm.
Looking at her fourth brother who was begging for mercy, Daohua looked helpless and pulled back her arm. Thinking that she hadn't seen Su Shiyu for a long time, she nodded in agreement.
That night, Daohua was ready to wash up and go to bed, but the maid came to report that Yan Wentao had come to see her.
"Third brother, don't say anything. I'll also send an invitation to the Zhou family tomorrow to ask Jingwan to come out together."
Yan Wentao smiled awkwardly and put down the durian he brought for Daohua: "I heard from Yeyang that you like to eat this, so the commander gave me two, one for you and one for Jingwan." After that, he turned around and left quickly.
Rice flowers found it very funny.
On July 11th, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai had a day off. Daohua got up early and after packing up, the three of them first went to Zhou's house to pick up Zhou Jingwan, and then went to Su's house to pick up Su Shiyu.
Finally, the group left the city gate.
In the carriage, Daohua was talking to Zhou Jingwan and Su Shiyu. Outside the carriage, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were riding horses beside them.
"I haven't been out to play since I came to the capital. This time I went to Luwei Bay, and it was thanks to you two that I was able to do so." Daohua said with a smile.
Zhou Jingwan and Su Shiyu both felt a little embarrassed.
Su Shiyu decisively changed the subject: "Where is the young prince?"
Daohua: "He must be busy and can't leave."
Reed Bay is indeed cool. When Daohua and his group arrived, they felt that the temperature around them had dropped by several degrees.
Reeds, shade of trees, green water, and the movement of wooden oars, we sailed into a cool bay.
Daohua didn't want to be a third wheel, so she boarded a black-sailed boat alone. Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were worried about her, so her boat went between them.
Looking up, I saw a couple in front of me, and turning around, I saw another couple behind me. Sandwiched in between, Rice Flower had no choice but to lie on her back in the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides and feeling the cool river breeze.
The boat swayed, and the rice flowers closed their eyes leisurely and fell asleep unknowingly.
"Girl, wake up!"
After an unknown amount of time, Daohua was pushed awake by Wang Maner.
"What time is it?"
Daohua rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Where are the third and fourth brothers?"
Wang Maner smiled and said, "It's already noon. The Third Master has just brought Miss Zhou ashore, and the Fourth Master and Miss Su are still behind us."
Daohua looked at Yan Wentao and the other three, and as soon as the boat docked, she jumped onto the shore.
"Slow down."
Yan Wentao quickly supported Daohua, looking a little embarrassed. He and his fourth brother thought that Yeyang would definitely come along, but Yeyang had something urgent to do and couldn't come. So, Daohua had to accompany them today.
People in the capital like to come to Luwei Bay to cool off. As the number of people increases, more vendors appear, and there are teahouses and inns nearby.
After Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu got ashore, the group ordered some food at a nearby teahouse.
"I heard that Kyoto Liulichang is nearby. This princess wants to go and take a look. Please lead the way." An arrogant voice sounded.
After hearing this, Daohua and others turned around and saw Yelu Qianhua wearing a fiery red dress.
Only people from the Ministry of Industry could enter Kyoto Liulichang, so the accompanying officials were naturally unwilling to do so.
"Seventh Princess, you can't go to Liulichang"
Before he could finish his words, Yelu Qianhua pulled out the whip from his waist and hit the official with a "snap".
In an instant, the official's robe was torn, revealing a bloody wound.
Yelu Qianhua looked at the official arrogantly and asked, "Can this princess go?"
The official was sweating profusely from the pain and gritted his teeth, saying, "Without the emperor's order, no one can go, no matter who they are."
Yelu Qianhua's face was filled with anger and he raised the whip again. At this moment, someone in the teahouse stood up and grabbed Yelu Qianhua's wrist tightly.
"How dare you stop this princess!"
"You are so brave, a mere princess of Western Liao, how dare you whip an official of Great Xia? Who gave you the courage?" Wu Xirong shouted back angrily, then exerted force with her arms and pushed Yelu Qianhua out.
Yelu Qianhua took a few steps back before steadying herself. She squinted her eyes at Wu Xirong, then shouted angrily, "Come here, capture this fool who doesn't know how to live or die for me."
Immediately, several Western Liao guards surrounded Wu Xirong.
"Wow, you are so powerful! Do you, the Western Liao delegation, want to run wild in my Great Xia?" Kang Naixin quickly stood in front of Wu Xirong.
The guards brought by the two men also ran in from outside and confronted the Western Liao guards.
Yelu Qianhua looked at Wu Xirong and Kang Naixin coldly and sneered, "So you have backers. But even if you have someone behind you, so what? You dare to disrupt the friendship between Western Liao and Daxia. I think the Daxia Emperor will punish you, right?"
Kang Naixin shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you presume to guess the emperor's thoughts?"
Seeing that Kang Naixin was not afraid at all when the Great Xia Emperor was mentioned, Yelu Qianhua immediately realized that the two people in front of him might be of high status. He immediately said in a cold voice: "I will personally report your disrespect to me today to the Great Xia Emperor."
Having said that, he led the Western Liao guards out of the teahouse.
The table where Daohua and the others were sitting was right next to the door. Because it was noon and there were many people eating, the table and chairs protruded a little, blocking the way.
Yelu Qianhua, who was angry and had no place to vent, said nothing. She raised the whip and hit Zhou Jingwan who was facing her.
Just when everyone thought someone was going to get hurt again, the whip didn't fall.
Looking at the whip that Yan Wentao was holding tightly in his hand, unable to move at all, Yelu Qianhua's heart trembled.
Damn it, is there another person who shouldn’t be provoked coming?
"Let go of this princess!"
Yan Wentao let go obediently, but when he did, Yelu Qianhua was thrown out directly, knocking over a table heavily, and all the food on it fell on her.
"Princess!"
The Western Liao guards hurried over to help Yelu Qianhua up.
Yelu Qianhua looked at the vegetable stains dripping from her body, and she felt so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She pointed at Yan Wentao and said, "Catch this man for me."
Looking at the Western Liao guards rushing over, Yan Wentao sneered, and without even getting off the stool, he beat the Western Liao guards out of the teahouse in a few moves.
"This is Daxia. Since you are here to see the emperor, you must behave like one."
Yan Wentao looked at Yelu Qianhua coldly: "You can take your things and leave now."
Yelu Qianhua looked at Yan Wentao with shame and anger on her face: "Just wait for me. I will immediately go to the palace to report to the Emperor of Daxia and let him punish you."
Having said that, he quickly walked out of the teahouse, jumped on his horse, and rushed towards the city gate with the Western Liao guards.
"Since my lord is injured, please don't follow me so closely. Even if the emperor asks about it, I think he won't blame me."
Seeing that the Daxia official wanted to follow, Daohua immediately spoke out to stop him.
The official looked at Wu Xirong and Kang Naixin, then at Daohua and his group, his expression hesitant.
Just then, a cry of surprise came from the front.
After Yelu Qianhua's team ran a hundred meters, the horses under them began to go crazy, some standing upright, some running wildly, and some running wildly. In just a moment, all the Western Liao people were thrown off their horses.
Seeing this scene, the official suddenly shuddered. What shocked him even more was that the girl who had just told him not to chase her said with a look of regret, "What a pity."
The people of Western Liao were good at riding and training horses. Daohua drugged the horses, but unfortunately the people of Western Liao reacted too quickly and were agile, so they were thrown off the horses but did not suffer any serious injuries.
"That princess of Western Liao may look unruly and arrogant, but she actually knows how to deal with current affairs." Seeing that Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong were not easy to mess with, although he yelled a few words, he took the initiative to back off; seeing that the third brother was a martial arts expert, he did not choose to confront them head-on.
