The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Chapter 125, Colorful_1

“Going out like this isn’t great because you can’t tell the exact time. For someone like me who can only tell early, mid, or late daylight, it’s easy to lose track of time if you’re not careful.”

Daohua and Zhou Jingwan walked shoulder to shoulder towards the middle of the mountain.

Zhou Jingwan: “Don’t you have servants? Surely there must be someone among the servants who can read the sky.”

Daohua shook her head, “What others can do is after all theirs; it’s never as convenient as knowing how to do it yourself.” That was the trouble with ancient times, there wasn’t anything like a wristwatch, and for time, she was flying blind.

Xiao Yeyang, who was walking in front, glanced back at Daohua, with a flash in his eyes.

By the time Daohua and the others returned to the temple on the mountainside, it was already a quarter past the hour of the rooster (5:15 PM), but it wasn’t too late. Quite a few ladies and young misses were still out admiring chrysanthemums and the scenery.

When the Madam Zhou saw them come back, she instructed the servants to call the other ladies and get ready to leave the mountain.

“It will probably take a while to get all the ladies and young misses back. It’s boring to wait here in the temple, so why don’t we start walking down?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua.

Daohua thought for a moment and felt he was right, “I’ll go and let my mother know.”

At that moment, Zhou Chengye came over with a smile, “No need. I’ve already spoken to your mother and Aunt Li; they already know and have agreed to let us go down first.”

Xiao Yeyang immediately said, “If that’s the case, then let’s go.”

Daohua, finding no objection, shrugged her shoulders and took Zhou Jingwan by the hand to follow.

It was a quick descent from the mountain, and Xiao Yeyang led the two of them to their pleasure boat.

“I didn’t feel it while walking, but now that I’ve stopped, I realize how sore my legs are!” Daohua, sitting on a stool, continuously patted her legs.

Zhou Jingwan was in the same boat.

Yan Wentao: “Big sister, what’s the fuss about? Our first time practicing the horse stance was truly miserable; we couldn’t even walk afterward.”

Daohua rolled her eyes at him, “Fourth brother, there’s no point comparing with us!”

Yan Wentao was at a loss for words.

The others, seeing this, laughed without reserve.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, Madam Zhou came down the mountain with a group of ladies and young misses.

“Jingwan, let’s go. We should join them too.” Seeing that the other ladies and young misses were already boarding the boat, Daohua quickly stood up, smiling as she spoke to Dong Yuanxuan and the others present.

“I had fun today, thanks to all the brothers’ care. If there’s an opportunity in the future, please visit my house, and I will be sure to welcome you warmly.”

Dong Yuanxuan: “Miss Yan, you’re too polite. We also enjoyed the barbecue you made today, but… there wasn’t quite enough. Next time, you’ll have to make more.”

With a smiling nod, Daohua turned to Xiao Yeyang, “Little Prince… take care of yourself!”

Xiao Yeyang’s face fell, “What, you’ll invite them to your home, and all I get is a simple ‘take care’ as a send-off?”

Daohua tilted her head with a smile, “That’s because you can come to our house anytime, but for Big Brother Dong and the others, I worry they might feel embarrassed to just show up without an invitation.”

Seeing that there was no hint of estrangement in Daohua’s tone, the corners of Xiao Yeyang’s mouth curved up, but he quickly straightened his face: “So you’re saying I’m thicker-skinned than they are and I’d show up uninvited, is that it?”

Daohua shrugged nonchalantly, “If you think you’re thick-skinned, that’s fine by me, I don’t mind.”

Hearing this, everyone else covered their mouths and snickered.

Xiao Yeyang gave Daohua a glare, his face stern but without a trace of genuine displeasure.

Daohua took Zhou Jingwan by the hand, “Alright, we really have to go now. You guys should hurry back to the academy.” With that, the two of them made their way down to the boat.

“I’ll escort them!” Zhou Chengye spoke up.

“Wait!”

Xiao Yeyang called to Zhou Chengye.

Zhou Chengye: “Little Prince, is there something you need?”

Xiao Yeyang spoke with a stern face: “A true man admits defeat when he is defeated. I said I’d give a reward, how can I go back on my word?” Then, looking at Zhou Chengye, “I’ve already sent De Fu to fetch it. In a while, you’ll deliver it to them.” _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}
