Chapter 146: Chapter 132, Celebrating a Birthday_1
“Such a waste of heaven’s gifts!”
Xiao Yeyang told the Imperial Physician how the Yan brothers were using the medicinal packets, and the physician immediately became so angry that he blew his beard and glared, “Little Prince, I’ve checked, and the efficacy of these medicinal packets is very high. If boiled, a single batch could easily suffice for baths for three men at once.”
“The sons of the Yan Family are truly squandering their wealth. Even if they invited fellow martial arts students to share the bath, it would be better than such wastefulness!”
All the ingredients in the medicinal packets were precious herbs. Just thinking about them being wasted like this made the old physician’s heart ache unbearably.
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s cheek twitched. Imagining several grown men stripping naked and soaking together, he shuddered suddenly.
Imperial Physician: “Little Prince, allow me to boil the medicinal packets for you. After you’ve taken your bath, let two other people use it. Who do you think those two should be?”
Having others bathe in his used medicinal bath…
Xiao Yeyang felt that it seemed somewhat dirty.
Yet, seeing the serious look on the Imperial Physician’s face and knowing that the medicinal packets were truly beneficial for the body, he thought for a moment and said, “You can ask Defu and Zhao Ergou, see if they’re willing?”
“Of course they’d be willing. The Little Prince always looks out for them in good things; how could they not be?” The Imperial Physician stated matter-of-factly, then hurriedly turned and went to prepare the medicinal bath.
The next day, there were several more people looking rejuvenated on the martial arts training grounds.
The Instructor, learning that the Little Prince and Dong Yuanxuan had used the medicinal bath packets given by the Yan brothers and had become so invigorated, gave the two brothers several thoughtful glances.
He had originally thought that the Yan Family, coming from a humble background, had only risen by attaching themselves to the Little Prince by a stroke of luck. Little did he realize, they had some substance of their own.
Having practiced martial arts from a young age, he knew full well how precious a good medicinal bath recipe could be!
Many a martial family’s recipes were handed down from one generation to the next.
Xiao Yeyang knew that he had to ask Daohua about the medicinal formula. As he was pondering when to visit the Yan Family again, Zhou Chengye presented him with the opportunity that very day after class.
Zhou Chengye handed out invitations to Xiao Yeyang and a few others: “Next month, my grandfather will be celebrating his birthday. I sincerely invite all of you to grace the occasion with your presence.”
Xiao Yeyang accepted the invitation, flipped through it, then handed it to Defu standing behind him: “As old Lord Zhou is celebrating his birthday, we should certainly go and offer our congratulations.”
Yan Wenkai said with a smile, “This will be a good opportunity for us to visit home as well.”
The others: “…”
This straightforward fellow, are some thoughts not better kept to oneself? Why speak them aloud?
Zhou Chengye shook his head with a smile and did not take offense.
Since he couldn’t withstand the rigors of martial training and focused on scholarly subjects, he had become quite familiar with Yan Wenxiu, often gathering to discuss and inquire together. He also understood the character of the Yan brothers well.
…
In the back courtyard of the Yan Family.
Daohua also received the invitation sent by Zhou Jingwan, opening it while asking, “What brings the young miss herself here? Oh, is it Lord Zhou’s birthday coming up?”
Zhou Jingwan smiled while munching on the fruits in Daohua’s room. Her family was not short of fruits, but for some reason, she felt that the fruit here tasted incomparable, “Yes, what gift do you plan to give my grandfather?”
Daohua rolled her eyes at Zhou Jingwan, handed the invitation to Wang Manman to give to Madam Li, and then turned to Zhou Jingwan, “How bold of you, asking for gifts so openly?”
Zhou Jingwan with a face full of entitlement: “I’m doing this for your own good, don’t fail to recognize kindness! Think about it, when giving gifts, shouldn’t you give what the recipient treasures the most?”
“As my grandfather’s most beloved granddaughter, I know better than anyone what he likes. If you tell me, I can help you choose the right gift!”
Daohua wore an expression of ‘please, continue your performance’ as she looked at Zhou Jingwan.
Zhou Jingwan, not minding at all, cheerfully pointed at a pot of lush green chrysanthemums in Daohua’s room and said, “I think this pot of green chrysanthemums is quite nice. The weather is getting colder, and it’s approaching snowfall, making it the perfect time to appreciate such green flowers.”
Daohua rolled her eyes: “You do have good taste!”
Zhou Jingwan put down the fruits, sat next to Daohua, and nudged her arm, “Dear Daohua, we don’t have this color of chrysanthemum in our garden, and if you were to give it to my grandfather, he would surely be overjoyed.”
Daohua feigned a troubled expression.
Zhou Jingwan, willing to humble herself for her grandfather, spent the better part of the day flatteringly cozying up to Daohua and finally wore her down into nodding in agreement.
On that day, the main gate of Zhou Residence was exceptionally lively; it was said that many officials from the provincial government had come in person. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
