Dong Yuanyao was not affected by the decline of her family, and Daohua was very happy for her. Except that the topic was a bit heavy at the beginning, the conversation between the two was quite brisk after that.

The two of them chatted until mid-afternoon before they got up and left the tea shop.

Daohua followed Dong Yuanyao towards the place where the Dong family lives now. When she was about to arrive, Daohua stopped: "Well...I won't visit the elders this time."<

/p>

Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao smiled and nodded, not caring in her heart. She knew that Yiyi was trying to take care of the face of the elders in the family. In the past few months, the Dong family had been in trouble, and neither their grandparents nor their father and mother had done anything.

Come out.

In Zhongzhou, her grandmother had once angered Yi Yi because of her affair with Sun Changze. Now that everyone's status has been lost, her grandmother may be embarrassed to see Yi Yi.

Daohua signaled Wang Maner and Bishi to take the gifts they had prepared from the carriage: "They are all fruits and vegetables produced in my own farm. You can take them back and try them out."

Dong Yuanyao was not polite and asked Hongying to answer with a smile: "I haven't eaten cherries and strawberries in a long time."

Daohua smiled and said: "If you like it, I will give it to you next time."

Dong Yuanyao nodded with a smile and looked at the sky: "It's getting late. Go back quickly. Don't let your uncle and aunt worry."

Daohua: "See you next time." As she said that, she walked towards the carriage. After walking a few steps, she turned around and looked at Dong Yuanyao, somewhat hesitant to speak.

Dong Yuanyao smiled and asked: "What's wrong?"

Daohua hesitated for a moment, turned back, and whispered to Dong Yuanyao: "I have been in contact with Sun Changze in the past two years. After you returned to Beijing, the Sun family once proposed marriage to him, but he refused. Now he has been on the Grand Canal.

Run, do you want to see him?"

Dong Yuanyao was startled, then smiled bitterly: "Let's forget it. My father almost killed him back then, and now my family is in dire straits, and I'm going back to find someone else. What does this mean?"

Seeing what else Daohua wanted to say, Dong Yuanyao smiled and said: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but I am no longer the glamorous young lady of the Dong family. I am a person who has been withdrawn from marriage, and I am no longer qualified.

Got his love."

Daohua frowned, with disapproval on her face: "It's not your fault to break off the engagement. If Sun Changze really likes you, he won't care."

Dong Yuanyao smiled uncertainly: "Whether you care or not, who can say for sure." After saying that, he looked at Daohua and said, "Yiyi, you don't have to worry about me. My family is like this now, and I'm really not in the mood.

Think about the long-term love between children."

Hearing this, Daohua couldn't help but say more: "Then I'll come see you next time." With that, he said goodbye to Dong Yuanyao and turned around to get on the carriage.

After watching the carriage go away, Dong Yuanyao and Hongying entered their yard carrying two baskets.

The Dong family is no different than before. The courtyard they live in now is a courtyard with one entrance. Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong live in the upper room, the large room in the east wing lives in, and the second room in the west wing lives in. The concubines live in the other rooms.

The yard next door.

"Hey, where did the cherries and strawberries come from? Give me a try! It's too bad, I haven't eaten anything good in the past few months."

Looking at the basket in Dong Yuanyao's hand, Dong Yuanshun from the big house immediately ran over to take it away.

Dong Yuanyao turned sideways and nimbly avoided Dong Yuanshun: "Second brother, if you want to eat, go to the street and buy it yourself." After saying that, he carried the basket into the west wing.

Before the Dong Mansion seized the title, Dong Yuanshun was used to being pampered by the Crown Prince's wife and had always had a domineering temper. When he didn't get food, he immediately started shouting: "Dong Yuanyao, I am your second brother. I asked you to get food. How dare you?"

Take it?"

Dong Yuanyao paid no attention to Dong Yuanshun in the yard. Dong Yuanxuan could not even take the merit examination because the second house was implicated by the big house. He hated the big house so much. Although the Dong family is not divided now, the two houses have separate food and accommodation.

Mrs. Dong Er heard the commotion and walked out of the room. Seeing the fruits, vegetables and medicinal materials placed in the room, she asked with a smile: "Your brother Yan is here again?"

Dong Yuanyao shook his head and helped Mrs. Dong sit down: "It's not Brother Yan, it's Yi Yi."

Mrs. Dong Er was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yiyi has returned to Beijing?"

Dong Yuanyao nodded and sorted out the medicinal materials sent by Daohua. Seeing that they were all for body conditioning, he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Yan must have told Yi Yi about my grandmother and your poor health, so Yi Yi gave these."

I’ll let Hongying cook the medicinal materials later.”

Looking at the medicinal materials, Mrs. Dong Er sighed with a look on her face: "Yiyi is very interested." As she said that, she couldn't help but think of her ex-daughter-in-law who left her son and returned home just a few months after they got married. Her heart was so blocked that it took a while before she spoke, "Remember

Send some to your grandparents."

"I know."

Soon, Dong Yuanyao separated the medicinal materials and fruits and sent them to Shangfang himself.

Mrs. Dong had a rare appetite after seeing the fresh fruit. She ate several strawberries one after another and then asked: "Wen Xiu came to see your brother again?"

Nowadays, the only ones who are willing to interact with the Dong family often are the Yan family.

Dong Yuanyao: "Grandma, it's not Brother Yan, it's Yi Yi."

Hearing this, Mrs. Dong's hand that reached out to pick up the strawberry suddenly stopped in mid-air. She was stunned for a while and then retracted her hand silently.

Dong Yuanyao returned to the west wing after delivering the things.

When Mr. Dong saw that Mrs. Dong stopped eating, he couldn't help asking: "Don't you like eating fruits? Why don't you eat them again?"

Mrs. Dong twitched her lips and pushed the fruit plate towards Mr. Dong: "Eat more, don't let the child down."

Dong Yuanxuan didn't come back until dark. When he saw the cherries and strawberries on the table, and learned that they were from Daohua, he was stunned for a while holding a strawberry.

Mrs. Dong Er noticed, her eyes full of regret.

......

After returning home, Daohua told Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li about her meeting with Dong Yuanyao today.

After hearing this, both of them were a little silent.

"Go see them more in the future and help if you can." Mrs. Yan finally sighed and said.

In the evening, after waiting for Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai to come back, Daohua asked Yan Wentao to inquire about the situation of the Zhou family.

Yan Wentao didn't say much, but just reassured Daohua: "Nothing will happen to the Zhou family."

Daohua didn't ask any more: "Third brother, I want to visit Jingwan, is it okay?"

Yan Wentao was silent for a moment: "Now that the Zhou family is under siege, it's best not to leave. It won't be too late for you to go after the Zhou family is lifted."

Daohua nodded: "I understand."

Yan Wentao said again: "When I came back today, Yeyang told me that you wanted to buy land?"

Daohua nodded: "Yes, what? He has news?"

Yan Wentao smiled, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Daohua: "These have been investigated by Yeyang, and they are all fields that can be purchased. Send someone to have a look on the ground, and finally decide which ones to buy."

Daohua happily took it: "Third brother, do you want to buy some together? If you don't have any money, I'll lend it to you!"

Looking at his wealthy sister, Yan Wentao laughed: "No, Yeyang checked these for you, and I checked some myself. If you can't buy them all, just ask your aunt."
