Chapter 158 Entering Uncle’s House for the First Time

 "Haha, I won!"

Taking advantage of Xiao Yeyang's daze, Daohua quickly moved his chess pieces, put his own on top, and then clapped his hands and shouted happily.

Xiao Yeyang came back to his senses, glanced at the chessboard, and suddenly became speechless.

This guy doesn't even know how to cheat. He can tell at a glance that his chess piece has been moved.

Fortunately, he thought she was smart just now. Well, he thought too much.

When Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang staring at her, she felt guilty and quickly messed up the chess pieces like a bell.

At this time, even Yan Wenxiu, who was standing by him, was ashamed.

Isn’t this the three hundred taels of silver here?

"I won!"

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua who was holding his neck and insisted on saying that he had won. He shook his head and replied perfunctorily: "You won."

Daohua was a little unhappy: "Why do I feel that what you said is so insincere?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Then what do you think I need to do to be sincere? To win?"

Daohua's eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang snorted angrily: "When it comes to giving lottery prizes, you have lost to me so many times and you have never given me one. Do you still want mine?"

Daohua smiled and muttered: "You asked yourself."

At this moment, Defu walked in with a smile: "Master, dinner is ready."

Xiao Yeyang stood up, saw Daohua sitting still, and said with a smile: "You really want the lottery? Then think carefully about what you want, and then tell me when you have thought about it. Now, let's go to dinner."

Daohua shook her head: "Forget it, I'm not that thick-skinned. If I win you once, I'll get a bonus. Then I have to give back more, no more." After saying that, he strode out of the study.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wenxiu, smiled and shook his head: "You sister, you can do whatever you want." After saying that, without waiting for Yan Wenxiu to say anything, he went to chase the person.

Yan Wenxiu, who was left behind, could only glance at Defu silently, and then followed helplessly.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to talk.

Li Xingnian travels all over the world, has a wide range of knowledge, and speaks smoothly. He tells stories one after another, which makes Daohua and others listen with interest.

It wasn't until Haishi (9 p.m.) that everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

In the side hall.

The two nephews had already taken off their clothes and prepared to go to bed, but Li Xingnian was still in a state of excitement and could not sleep.

"Uncle, go to bed quickly, we have to rush tomorrow." Yan Wenkai muttered, then pulled up the quilt and fell asleep.

Yan Wenxiu also looked helplessly at his uncle, whose eyes were still shining.

My uncle was in great spirits. He was tired after visiting the palace for a long time, but he was still in high spirits.

When Li Xingnian saw Yan Wenxiu sitting and waiting for him, he immediately said: "Go to sleep, uncle, sit down for a while and take a good look at this palace." Perhaps this was the only time in his life that he lived in a palace, and he didn't want to take a good look.<

/p>

Hearing this, Yan Wenxiu couldn't say much because he was too sleepy, so he stopped accompanying him.

Daohua lived in another side hall. On this day, she was also very tired. Not long after she lay on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Daohua woke up to the sound of Wang Maner and others talking.

"Man'er, who was that just now?"

Daohua put on her clothes and saw Wang Maner walking in holding a big red feather satin cloak.

"It's Eunuch Defu. He sent a cloak, saying it was for the girl to keep out the cold." After saying that, Wang Maner handed the cloak to Daohua.

Daohua touched the smooth satin surface of the cloak and the fluffy white fur trim, frowned and said, "Why did Xiao Yeyang give you something again? I'm even embarrassed to take it."

Although she always returned the gift, she always felt like she was taking advantage.

Wang Man'er thought that Daohua was dissatisfied with her collection of things, so she hurriedly explained: "I was trying to shirk it just now, but my father-in-law Defu insisted on giving it to me, and I never resisted him."

Daohua thought for a moment, and realized that clothes were not expensive things, and would be given to each other if they were friends with others, so she stopped worrying about this issue: "Let's wash up."

When going out, Daohua looked at the cloak, thought about it, and put it on.

With Xiao Yeyang's temperament, I'm afraid she would be unhappy if she didn't wear it.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the main hall, Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua wearing the cloak he had given him, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up.

Yan Wenkai's eyes lit up: "Sister, why haven't I seen you wear this cloak before? It looks so good."

Daohua smiled: "I think it looks good too, and it's warm."

Hearing what Daohua said, Xiao Yeyang was even happier.

Yan Wenxiu glanced at it and said nothing.

He knew that the eldest sister had given the young prince a medicinal bath prescription.

The value of that prescription should be quite high. Dong Yuanxuan even asked him about it from the side.

It’s okay for the young prince to send you a cloak in return.

After breakfast, everyone chatted with Xiao Yeyang for a while before getting up and leaving.

"Xiao Yeyang, if the academy has a holiday in the future, if you are bored, come to my house to play with my three brothers!"

When leaving, Daohua said this to Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang nodded and asked Defu to escort a few people out of the palace.

When Defu came back, Xiao Yeyang was looking at another food box that Daohua brought. The food box was full of cakes with various animal shapes.

"With so many pastries, Miss Yan is planning to eat them until the end of the first lunar month."

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "That guy Daohua thinks of me as a pig." As he said that, he picked up a pig head jujube cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

He doesn't like sweets, and he's not interested in all kinds of pastries, but he likes pastries made by Daohua.

It's hard for that guy to bring a full food box over. He saw that the maid next to her couldn't lift it.

"I went to read a book!"

Signing to Defu to put away the pastries, Xiao Yeyang went to the study room.

......

"Uncle, how long will it take for us to get to the provincial capital?"

Yan Wenkai couldn't sit still on the boat and asked from time to time.

Li Xingnian looked at the sky: "We'll be there at noon. Don't walk around and be careful to get seasick."

Daohua smiled and took over the words: "Uncle, don't worry, my fourth brother is in good health, so he won't get seasick."

Li Xingnian glanced at his nephew, who was as strong as a calf, and said nothing.

Looking at Daohua who was standing on the deck and looking at the scenery on the river with great interest, Li Xingnian sat down next to Yan Wenxiu: "The cloak on Daohua seems to be a gift from the young prince. Is it okay to just take it?"

Yan Wenxiu shook his head: "It doesn't matter, didn't the eldest sister also give me something when she came over?"

Hearing this, the corner of Li Xingnian's mouth twitched.

Just the two food boxes given by my niece?

Well, the interactions between children should not be too utilitarian and care about value gains and losses like adults.

Yan Wenxiu thought for a while and said to Li Xingnian: "Uncle, it is best not to tell outsiders about our stay at the palace this time. Because we are close to the young prince, we have attracted a lot of attention. If we let others know that we are staying at the palace,

If you pass through the palace, trouble may arise."

Li Xingnian nodded, patted Yan Wenxiu's shoulder, and said happily: "You have grown up in a blink of an eye, and now you are thinking more and more thoughtfully. Don't worry, uncle knows what's appropriate."

At noon (two o'clock in the afternoon), Daohua and the others finally arrived at Li's Mansion.

"How did you get here?"

As soon as Li Xingnian walked through the door with the three of them, his two aunts and several cousins ​​came out to greet him after receiving the news.

"Wenxiu, Wenkai, and Daohua, I have met my two aunts."

Yan Wenxiu and his younger siblings quickly saluted.

The eldest aunt Fan immediately helped the person up, then took Daohua's hand and took a closer look: "This is Yiyi, oh, why is she so handsome? Second aunt, come over and take a look at this."

My child, is he more handsome than my little sister back then?"

A gentle-looking woman stepped forward and looked at Daohua with a smile: "It's true, my little sister's daughter actually outshines her."

There are two aunts in the Li family, one is cheerful and cheerful, the other is gentle and quiet. They are both very well maintained and look like they are in their early thirties.

"Okay, okay, do you think I can be an aunt? I'm embarrassed to talk to other people's children."

Li Xingnian laughed and stopped: "If you have anything to say, go back to the house and talk about it first."

Mrs. Fan immediately smiled and said: "Look at me, I am so happy that I don't know what is going on." After saying that, she took Daohua's hand and signaled her son to invite brother Wenxiu into the house.

Daohua couldn't resist her enthusiastic aunt, so she could only do whatever she said and was very well-behaved.

Later, the two cousins ​​of the Li family gathered together and secretly looked at the three Daohua people.

Li Zixin from the eldest family said in a low voice: "Didn't my mother often say that although my uncle is an official, his family is poor and his life is very difficult? But look at what cousin Yiyi is wearing, nothing is top-notch.

?"

Li Zixuan from the second room nodded: "Yes, I have seen the cloak worn by cousin Yiyi from a distance, worn by a girl from the Dong family. It is said to be a tribute feather satin. And the pearl flowers on her head are all very beautiful.

I have never seen these in stores in Fucheng."

Li Zixin once again looked at Daohua who was walking in front: "Before, my mother said that cousin Yiyi grew up in the countryside and might be compared with the concubine in the family. Now look at it, it's just nonsense."Chapter completed!
