Chapter 344 An unexpected gap
The Jiang family cleared the way, and the carriages of each family began to start slowly.
Yan Wentao followed on horseback outside the Yan family's carriage, talking to Daohua and Zhou Jingwan in a low voice.
Ahead, Xiao Yeyang glanced at Jiang Wanying who was standing next to him. Thinking of the rumors about his childhood sweetheart that Daohua told him before, he suddenly didn't want to stand with her.
"Cousin Wanying, you are not in good health, so you should go back to the carriage and stay there."
Jiang Wanying pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just standing with Brother Yang for a while, it's okay." As she said that, she saw the fine sweat on Xiao Yeyang's forehead, so she stretched out her hand to wipe it away.
When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back. During this period, he even glanced at the Yan family's carriage that was about to come over in a panic.
Seeing Daohua talking and joking with Yan Wentao without looking here, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When Jiang Wanying saw that he was avoiding her, she pouted and said, "Brother Yang, I just want to wipe your sweat."
Xiao Yeyang said firmly: "I don't need you to wipe it, just take care of yourself." After saying that, he paused, then frowned and said, "Please pay attention to your words and deeds, it is not good for others to see you like this.
It’s also bad for your reputation.”
Jiang Wanying didn't care at all: "What's the matter? I don't care what others say. Brother Yang, didn't you care about other people's opinions before? Why have you changed after not seeing each other for several years?"
Xiao Yeyang said nothing.
He doesn't care about other people's opinions now, but he cares about Daohua.
That guy is not even happy to hear rumors about a childhood sweetheart. If he sees him and cousin Wanying acting more intimately again, he will be furious.
Jiang Wanying did not continue, but said something else: "Brother Yang, I heard that the emperor rewarded Governor Guo with some lychees?"
Xiao Yeyang gave a perfunctory 'hmm': "Not much, just a small basket." As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the Yan family's carriage from time to time.
Jiang Wanying smiled: "The Emperor really values Governor Guo. Very few lychees from the south are sent to the capital every year, and only a few princes and ministers can get them."
"In the past, when I was in the capital, I could eat a few pills when I went to the Queen Mother's Palace, but now that I'm out of the capital, it's hard to eat them again."
Even though the Jiang family is the Queen Mother, the Queen's natal family does not receive many rewards from the Emperor. Most of them are from the Queen Mother and the Queen.
Like this time, the emperor rewarded Governor Guo, but did not show any respect to their family.
Xiao Yeyang's attention was focused on the Yan family's carriage that was slowly approaching. He didn't hear clearly what Jiang Wanying was saying, and just said "hmm" casually.
Jiang Wanying saw that she had spoken so straightforwardly and Xiao Yeyang did not answer, so she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Then she thought that Brother Yang had always been careless, and maybe he did not understand what she meant, so she said again.
"Brother Yang, I heard that Governor Guo gave you all the lychees. For some reason, she may have taken a lot of medicine during this period, and Wanying is a little greedy for lychees."
Is this obvious enough?
Brother Yang is just pretending to be stupid if he doesn't understand anymore.
Xiao Yeyang heard this and understood it, but he said, "I've already finished the lychees. If you want to eat them, let your parents figure it out."
Jiang Wanying was stunned: "Didn't you say that the lychees just arrived yesterday?" How could they disappear so quickly?
"Yes, but the quantity is small, and it will be gone after a few mouthfuls." Xiao Yeyang suddenly remembered the scene of feeding rice flowers in the pavilion, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.
Alas, I couldn’t stay with Daohua for a while this time.
It's all my uncle's fault. He had to ask him to entertain the guests, which made him waste most of his time.
Fortunately, he was smart and took the opportunity of letting Daohua eat the cake to leave her in the pavilion. Otherwise, he might not even have a chance to be alone with her.
At this time, the Yan family's carriage came over.
Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua looking towards him and looked away with some guilt.
"Humph!"
Daohua felt a little unhappy when she saw their carriage passing by, and Xiao Yeyang didn't even bother to come up to say hello.
Coincidentally, I heard someone talking on the roadside again.
"The young prince and Miss Jiang are really talented and beautiful, standing together like a perfect couple!"
"Who says it's not the case? Miss Jiang and the young prince, no matter their family background or appearance, they are always together, and they have such a relationship as the Queen Mother. I think the two of them are probably already settled."
"Don't tell me it's true, otherwise, how could the two people behave so intimately? Moreover, what you heard Mrs. Jiang said, both inside and outside the words, revealed the intimacy between the two."
"The relationship between these childhood sweethearts is so good."
Listening to these words, Daohua felt even more uncomfortable. She sat back in the carriage and closed her eyes in silence. She didn't know when her third brother left.
......
An hour later, Yan Mansion arrived.
Mrs. Li took Mrs. Zhou into the house, with Daohua and Zhou Jingwan walking behind.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you feel like you have no energy?" Zhou Jingwan asked in confusion.
Daohua pointed to the sky: "It's so hot, it's strange to be energetic, aren't you hot?"
Zhou Jingwan fanned herself with a round fan: "Of course it's hot."
Daohua: "Let's go back, let's take a quick shower, and then drink watermelon juice to quench our thirst."
Zhou Jingwan nodded with a smile.
Daohuaxuan.
When Daohua came out of the shower, she saw Zhou Jingwan sitting on the couch covered with a mat, and immediately asked with a smile: "Why are you so fast?"
Zhou Jingwan: "I have been very fast in taking baths since I was a child. You came just in time. Bring out the lychees for me to eat."
Daohua smiled helplessly, motioned to Wang Maner to pick up the lychees, sat on the other side of the cave, wiped her hair, and asked, "Where did my third brother give it to me?"
Zhou Jingwan's face fell, and she pointed to the silk bag on the coffee table: "Forget it, brother Yan San didn't use ice cubes to cool it down. I tasted one and it was no longer fresh."
"Really?" Daohua took it and looked through it, and saw that the lychees were indeed not fresh anymore, and there were scars in some places, "Forget it, don't eat this."
"Why?"
Zhou Jingwan snatched the silk bag: "This is Brother Yan San's wish. Even if the taste is not very good, I still have to eat it." As she said that, she took out a lychee from the bag and peeled it.
Seeing her like this, Daohua was stunned for a moment, then stared at her seriously.
Zhou Jingwan put the lychee into her mouth, saw Daohua looking at her, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Daohua: "...Is my third brother's stuff that good?"
Zhou Jingwan nodded: "The things Brother Yan San gave are of course good. If you don't think the lychees in this silk bag are fresh, don't eat them." As she said that, she moved the silk bag towards her.
Daohua was a little speechless. Seeing that Zhou Jingwan cared so much about what her third brother gave her, she wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she was overthinking it, so she had to wipe her hair.
