Chapter 223: Chapter 205: Details Determine Success or Failure_1
In the equestrian field, Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang by the lake, chatting and laughing, getting along very naturally and harmoniously, pushing Zhou Jingwan next to her.
“Jingwan, has the Yan Family’s eldest daughter always been so close with the Little Prince?”
Zhou Jingwan glanced at the direction where Daohua and the two were, then withdrew her gaze and continued feeding the horse, looking unsurprised: “Yes, Daohua is very amusing. Everyone likes to play with her.”
While saying that, she smiled at Dong Yuanyao.
“Sister Dong, sometimes I feel Daohua is a lot like you. Both of you like to play pranks, and, um… you like to dress up as men and go out.”
Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua again: “My brother says the same, but I think I’m not as bold as her. I wouldn’t dare to joke around with the Little Prince like that.”
Zhou Jingwan nodded in agreement: “I wouldn’t dare to either.”
Dong Yuanyao: “How come she’s not afraid of the Little Prince turning against her?”
Zhou Jingwan: “… The Little Prince isn’t that petty, besides, it’s all just for fun.”
Dong Yuanyao fell silent for a moment and didn’t continue the subject, instead asking: “Right, the rouge style that the Yan Family’s eldest daughter used to tease the Little Prince with doesn’t seem like the usual kind. Do you know where she bought it? It seems more convenient to carry around.”
Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan immediately put down the grass in her hands, clapped her hands together, and took out a golden cylinder the size of her pinkie from her purse: “Here, this is it.”
“This wasn’t bought elsewhere, Daohua made it herself. She calls it ‘lipstick’. It’s indeed more convenient to carry with you than the rouge boxes bought outside.”
While saying so, she opened the lid, twisted it, and a segment of red rouge stick appeared.
Dong Yuanyao looked intrigued as she held it in her hand: “It’s highly unique,”
Zhou Jingwan quickly nodded: “My mother said the same.”
Dong Yuanyao handed back the lipstick to Zhou Jingwan, hesitated and looked at her: “Jingwan, does the Yan Family’s eldest daughter still have this kind of… lipstick for sale? I would like to buy some from her.”
Zhou Jingwan put the lipstick back in her purse: “Daohua runs a Rouge Shop, so she should have more. I’ll ask her for you later.” Having said that, she continued to feed the horse, stroking it while doing so.
“Actually, the Little Prince is quite nice. Look, such fine horses he just gave away to us.”
Dong Yuanyao speechless: “Haven’t you noticed? We were just incidental, the real recipient the Little Prince intended to give to was only the Yan Family’s eldest daughter.”
Zhou Jingwan was taken aback: “Is that so?” Laughing, she said, “I know now, Daohua’s family isn’t as rich as ours, so the Little Prince is helping her out like this.”
Dong Yuanyao felt the urge to facepalm. Forget it, no point talking with someone so clueless.
…
“This lake water feels so cool!”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, who was bending over to play in the water by the lake: “This water is spring water flowing down from the main peak.”
Daohua’s eyes lit up; she looked up at Wuhua Mountain’s main peak and asked, “How long does it take to climb to the summit?”
Xiao Yeyang: “The stairway to the main peak is direct, it takes just over half an hour if you don’t stop. Why, are you thinking of going up to see the spring?”
Daohua nodded: “I want to go up and see if the spring water is clean. If it’s clean, I’d like to take some back to brew alcohol.” The natural minerals and trace elements in spring water are something not found in well water.
Xiao Yeyang furrowed his brows: “You need a lot of water for brewing alcohol, don’t you?”
Daohua: “I don’t need much, just enough to brew a few jars of medicinal liquor. My grandmother suffers from rheumatism. I found a folk recipe that says using white liquor brewed with mountain spring water enhances the efficacy of medicinal liquor.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang felt somewhat speechless: “A folk recipe? You dare to use just any recipe on your grandmother?”
Daohua was silent for a moment: “Don’t worry, I definitely wouldn’t make a joke with my grandmother’s health.” She said, picking up the pocket watch on her chest to check the time, “It’s only the fourth quarter of wei hour (2 p.m.). We have enough time to make a round trip.”
Seeing that Daohua was very keen on going, Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a bit but then nodded: “Alright, I’ll accompany you on the trip.”
“Then I’ll ask Jingwan and the others if they want to go up too.” Daohua immediately had Wang Manman go and ask Zhou Jingwan and the others.
Xiao Yeyang: “Don’t bother asking, they definitely won’t go.” After riding for most of the day, who would want to go mountain climbing?
Sure enough, after a while, Wang Manman came back shaking her head.
“In that case, it looks like it’s just the two of us going up. This time, shall we still compete to see who climbs faster?”
Xiao Yeyang categorically refused: “I’m not competing with someone who likes to cheat.”
“You’re just too serious, isn’t a competition all about having fun?”
“But the loser has to forfeit something.”
