When Yang Donghu arrived in the yard, he saw that it was Yun Miao, who seldom came here. But when he saw the stone mortar in her hand, he understood.
"Yun Miao? Are you here to pick Impatiens flowers too?"
Yun Miao smiled and nodded. "Isn't there a lantern festival tonight? I've already chosen my outfit, but my bare fingers don't look good, so I thought I'd get my nails painted."
The Impatiens in the yard come in pink, bright red and purple, but the juice from the crushed flowers is much lighter in color than the flowers themselves, so it doesn't look exaggerated when dyed.
There was a patch of shade in the corner of the wall, so Yang Donghu moved a stool over and a few people sat next to the flowers. Yun Miao picked a few purple flowers that were in full bloom and crushed them in a stone mortar.
Nail polishing requires help. Yang Donghu carefully applied the flower juice to Yun Miao's nails and chatted with her: "Why isn't Yun Qiao with you? You're already out of confinement, why don't you take the baby out for a walk?"
"That little brother of his is so clingy, he won't let go even for a moment. Qiao'er and Brother Zhang are so exhausted at home that they don't have the energy to go out."
Although Yun Miao was complaining about the hard work of taking care of the child, the smile on her face did not diminish at all. Yang Donghu knew that she helped Yun Qiao hold the child all day long.
"Children are clingy, but they're actually very cute."
"That's true, otherwise I wouldn't be helping them hold their baby all day long."
The nails on the hands are wrapped with leaves. It is best to use white sail for dyeing, as the color can last longer, but it is okay not to use it, as the color can last for two days without fading.
Yun Miao stretched out her ten fingers straight, and blew on them to make the color come on faster: "Would you like to dye them later? I'll dye them for you two?"
"Forget it. I have to make snacks on weekdays, and it's inconvenient to have this on my nails."
Zhao Fangchu also shook his head. He was still waiting to make money with Yang Donghu.
It was hot, so nails were painted quickly. Smoke gradually rose in the kitchen, and as the fire in the stove burned brighter and brighter, Yun Miao took the leaves off her hands. The light purple color on her nails made her skin look brighter.
The beauty-loving girl was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She said goodbye to Yang Donghu and the others and went back.
The weather was getting hotter as it got to noon. The two men were already sweating profusely when they returned from the town. When they got home, they took out the mung bean water that they always had in the well and drank it all. Only then did they feel that the heat in their bodies had subsided a lot.
In addition to buying rouge from the town, they also bought two hairpins according to Yang Donghu's instructions.
The one bought in town is much more exquisite than the peach wood one, and is also different from the ones given before. It has a wrapped flower on the top and a tassel.
The price of this hairpin was obviously not cheap. Although Yang Donghu was happy to get the new jewelry, he still asked about the price of the hairpin. If Zhao Luochuan really told him, he would probably be heartbroken for a long time, so he simply kept his mouth shut.
Yang Donghu had to give up after several questions, and he kept talking even when he went back to his room to rest after lunch.
Zhao Luochuan took out the newly bought rouge to shut him up, but unexpectedly Yang Donghu lectured him even more.
In desperation, he took out the three boxes of ointment and waved them in front of Yang Donghu: "I see you're not sleepy today, how about we try this new ointment together?"
Sure enough, when Yang Donghu saw the thing, he felt a chill on his back. He shook his head and immediately closed his mouth. He snatched the ointment from his hand and threw it into the cabinet beside the bed.
Nap is a rare moment of tranquility. Yang Donghu had something on his mind and wanted to get up early to take out the candied peaches to surprise Zhao Luochuan, so he did not sleep soundly.
The sun was setting. Yang Donghu rubbed his eyes and carefully got up from the bed. Taozi was in the next yard. He was not sleeping soundly and he didn't expect that there was someone who was sleeping even less soundly than him.
I don’t know if Zhao Fangchu was asleep, but when Yang Donghu came to get the peaches, he was in the room fixing his hair. Zhao Fangyu also brought him a flower-wrapped hairpin for today.
He had already changed into the new clothes Zhu Cuilan had made for him. They were a plum green color, both playful and cute. This time he had put all his hair behind his head, looking refreshing in the summer.
Yang Donghu quietly walked in and saw how seriously he was getting dressed. He leaned against the door frame and watched for a moment before he couldn't help but tease her: "Didn't you say you didn't want to get engaged so soon? If you dress so nicely today, won't our doorstep be trampled down tomorrow?"
The entire courtyard was silent. Zhao Fangchu was startled by his sudden voice and turned around: "You scared me to death. You always walk without making any noise."
"Here are new clothes and new hairpins. You've dressed up so neatly today. Are you really going to find a husband today?"
Zhao Fangchu put down his hand that was combing his hair, and his fair face actually became a little rosy.
Yang Donghu was very familiar with this look of a young girl in love. He felt something was wrong and said, "You don't know if you have a crush on someone?"
"I didn't." Zhao Fangchu was a little embarrassed, lowering his head and refusing to look him in the eye.
"Last time I asked you, you didn't have any? It's only been a few days. Do I know that person? Don't let anyone fool you."
Zhao Fangchu refused to answer, but pushed him out instead: "Oh, I really didn't. Are you here to get the peaches? Go quickly, Brother Dachuan should be awake soon."
"No, you finish first."
"Oh, I really don't have any. Go quickly, go quickly."
Judging from his appearance, it is certain that nothing can be obtained from him, but he dressed so carefully today, so he must meet that person in the evening. Although he promised Yang Anjin that he would help ask, he also said that he would not force it if Zhao Fangchu did not want to.
Although he wanted to see who kidnapped his brother, looking at Zhao Fangchu like this, Yang Donghu felt that his brother had grown up.
