Yanfu.

Daohua, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile had just come out from morning classes and were about to return to their respective courtyards. On the way, they met Pingtong and others who were delivering refreshments and fruits to Songhe Courtyard.

Looking at the fresh fruit in the maid's hand, Daohua asked with a smile: "Sister Pingtong, are there guests?"

Pingtong signaled the other maids to continue delivering things, but she stopped in her tracks: "It's not a guest, it's the Third Master. The Fourth Master is back, and the Young Prince and Mr. Dong are also here."

Daohua looked stunned: "I just went home during the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, why are you back again?"

Pingtong smiled and said: "Fourth Master said that they came back this time to ask when the uncle will come back, so as not to miss the time to congratulate the uncle."

Daohua laughed a little: "They all have confidence in the eldest brother, but the eldest brother will at least wait until the provincial examination results are announced. It should be September by then."

Pingtong nodded: "The madam said the same thing, but the old lady is still very happy that the Third Master and the others are back. Anyway, Ningmen Pass is not too far from Fucheng. If you ride a fast horse, it won't take much to go back and forth."

Time."

"The old lady said that she used to study in the academy and was far away from home, so she couldn't go home often. Now she is close to home, and the training in the military camp is more difficult, and the food is not as good as at home. She just wants the third master and the others to go home to eat often in the future.

What?"

After saying that, he paused and looked at Yan Yihuan and the others.

"Madam is also in the old lady's yard. Girls and slaves are going there together?"

Yan Yihuan and the other three smiled and nodded.

Daohua was silent for a moment: "You guys go ahead, I have something else to do here, I'll go there later."

Pingtong did not doubt that he was there and said with a smile: "Big girl, you have to hurry up. After lunch, the third master and the others have to go back to the military camp."

Daohua nodded: "You go ahead." After saying that, she led Wang Maner towards her yard.

After returning to the yard, Daohua was not busy with anything else. She just sat in front of the window and sprinkled water on the lotus with a kettle.

A few days have passed, and the lotus has withered somewhat and is no longer as beautiful as before.

When Wang Man'er came in with tea, he saw his girl plucking the withered petals from the lotus. She walked over and asked softly: "Don't you want to meet the fourth master and the young prince?"

Daohua reached out to take the tea cup, lowered her head and drank the tea without saying anything.

At this moment, she didn't know how to face Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang undoubtedly has a good impression of her, but she doesn't know whether she should maintain this good impression or break it off.

Emotionally, although she did not reject Xiao Yeyang's closeness, she felt that her feelings for Xiao Yeyang did not rise to the level of love. However, she was still reluctant to let it end like this.

Rationally, she clearly knows that this relationship is full of too much uncertainty and instability. She is afraid that she cannot bear it, and she is also afraid that this relationship will not last long.

"Hey!"

Daohua was a little upset. She put down the tea cup in her hand, squinting her cheeks and looking at the entrance of the courtyard in confusion.

Seeing this, Wang Man'er didn't have much to say and quietly retreated.

Songheyuan.

Xiao Yeyang frowned when he saw Yan Yihuan and the other two people coming over, but Daohua was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but touch Yan Wenkai with his crutch, and asked in a low voice: "Why isn't your eldest sister here?"<

/p>

Yan Wenkai was talking to Su Hongxin about what they wanted to eat for lunch. Hearing this, he was stunned, turned around and looked around at the people in the room. Seeing that Daohua was indeed not there, he immediately asked Mrs. Yan: "Grandma, where is the eldest sister?

?"

Mrs. Yan didn't know the reason and looked at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li had been staying with the old lady, and she didn’t know. Pingtong happened to go out again, so she could only say with a smile: "I guess I got tripped up by something."

Yan Yishuang smiled and answered: "When we came over, the eldest sister said that she was busy with something."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang was a little disappointed, but thinking that they would have lunch later and always see rice flowers, a smile appeared on his face.

However, he was still disappointed.

Until I left after lunch, Daohua didn't show up.

The Yan family's elders were all here, so he couldn't ask Yan Wenkai too many questions, so he could only ride away with regret.

Fortunately, when leaving, Mrs. Yan asked them to come over for dinner every now and then, so he could only point out that he would see rice flowers the next time he came over.

In the following days, every three or four days, Yan Wenkai would take Xiao Yeyang and others to the Yan family for dinner.

Compared to Yan Wenkai and the others who were happy that they could improve the food, Xiao Yeyang was filled with depression and doubt.

He went to Yan's house three times in a row, but he didn't see Daohua once. At this time, he vaguely realized that Daohua was deliberately avoiding him.

But, why?

Didn't he make her angry during this time?

Okay, why ignore him?

Xiao Yeyang was puzzled and anxious, and wanted to ask Daohua about the reason, but she stayed in the backyard and he never found a chance to ask.

Not only him, but also Mrs. Li also noticed her daughter's strange behavior, but she agreed with it.

As my daughter grows older, it is indeed not appropriate to see her foreign husband more often.

......

In a blink of an eye, September has entered.

On the second day of September, Yan Zhiqiang came to the old lady's yard with a letter in his hand, and he said loudly before entering the house: "Mom, I passed the literature major and got second place in the provincial examination."

Hearing this, the old lady and Mrs. Li in the room stood up with excitement, and Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu sitting at the bottom also looked happy.

Both of them know that the bigger the house, the better, and the second and third bedrooms will get better and better.

The news soon reached the ears of the four Daohua people who were in class.

Daohua listened and smiled, but she didn't have much reaction. Whether it was Cheap Dad, Master Xiao, or Mrs. Zhou, they all said that the eldest brother was knowledgeable and hard-working, so she treated him I am very confident that I can pass the exam.

Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile are also beaming. Although they are not the same brother who won the election, the Yan family has not been separated. Their eldest brother won the election, and their faces are also bright.

Among the four, only Yan Yishuang's smile was a little forced. She was not happy for Yan Wenxiu, but yesterday, the Lin family also received a letter, saying that her uncle still failed the exam this time.

God knows how much she hopes that her uncle will win the imperial examination, so that she, her fifth brother, and her aunt can have an easier time in the Yan family.

What a pity....

Master Shen knew that there was a happy event at home and the girls were not interested in studying, so he gave them a holiday: "Okay, let's go and congratulate the elders in the family."

After coming out of the classroom, Daohua thought that Yan Wenkai and the others would definitely come back after receiving the news. This time they came to congratulate her, and it was hard for her not to come forward. After thinking about it, she walked towards the main courtyard.

"Mom, I want to go to Taohua Village for a few days. If my eldest brother wins the imperial examination, I should tell my master and make them happy too."

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, your master and Granny Gu are both old, so it's time to visit them more."

The next day, Daohua took a boat to Taohua Village.

......

"Man'er, go over there and catch up, don't let that falcon get hurt."

When Daohua arrived at Peach Blossom Mountain, she picked up a slingshot and pointed it at the falcon hovering over Peach Blossom Temple. The bullet of the slingshot was a drug the size of a little finger.

Wang Maner took a look at the rice flowers, hesitated to speak, and ran into the yard slowly.

‘Bang!’

Because whip training requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, Daohua's hands were trained to be particularly stable, and her accuracy was pretty good, and she hit the falcon in one go.
