Chapter 295: Chapter 276: Gap in Status_1
The day after Yan Wenkai’s birthday, Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan, Su Hongxin, and others were set to leave, and Li Xingnian was also taking the Li sisters, Li Zixuan and Li Zixin, back to the provincial capital on this day—it so happened that they could travel part of the way together.
At the dock, Li Zixuan and Li Zixin were holding Daohua’s hand, their faces full of reluctance.
“I really don’t want to go home so soon!”
Daohua: “I don’t want you to leave either. If I’d known, you really should have come to play with me sooner.”
She had already heard from Madam Li that her great-aunt and second-aunt had found a suitable match for Sister Zixuan, and after the New Year, they just waited for Sister Zixuan to have a look before they would finalize the marriage arrangement.
In the future, they wouldn’t have many opportunities to play together.
On the other side, Yan Wenxiu, Yan Wenkai, and Yan Wentao were also saying their goodbyes to Xiao Yeyang and the others.
Xiao Yeyang had intended to say a few words to Daohua before leaving, but seeing that it was almost time to board the ship and the Li sisters were still clinging to Daohua, he became extremely frustrated.
Daohua was also to be blamed for not taking the initiative to come over and say goodbye or anything.
Ultimately, until the ship set sail, Xiao Yeyang never got the chance to speak with Daohua alone.
Looking at Dong Yuanxuan and others laughing and talking behind him, Xiao Yeyang suddenly found these people somewhat bothersome. Without them, he could have talked with Daohua a little more.
“It seems I should bring fewer people with me in the future.”
No sooner had he muttered this to himself than Su Hongxin came over, puzzled, “Little Prince, what did you just say?”
Xiao Yeyang gave him a glance, “I said the scenery around here is really nice.”
Su Hongxin looked left and right, scratching his head in confusion: “What’s nice about it?” He hadn’t noticed any change; after so many trips back and forth, it looked just the same to him.
Soon, he stopped fretting about this and said with a smile, “That fellow Yan Wenkai, he used to say he wouldn’t eat anything made by my sister, but look at him now, eating his words. The Ruyi cakes made by Shiyu, he ate the most.”
Dong Yuanxuan laughed and said, “That guy is a glutton; he can eat anything that’s edible.”
Su Hongxin stubbornly replied, “It must also be because my sister’s cooking is delicious.”
Suddenly, a breeze blew in.
“Sniff, sniff!”
Su Hongxin’s nose twitched a few times: “What’s that fragrance? Who’s burning incense?”
Dong Yuanxuan also sniffed carefully: “It’s not incense, it’s the scent of medicine.”
To the side, Xiao Yeyang said nothing, but the image of Daohua applying medicine to him in the garden pavilion flashed through his mind, and he couldn’t help but smile at the corners of his mouth.
Dong Yuanxuan noticed Xiao Yeyang tighten his sleeve, and his eyes flashed.
Yesterday, the Little Prince had left alone again, ostensibly to sit in the pavilion with Miss Yan for quite some time.
Meanwhile, in the cabin, Li Xingnian was also speaking with Li Zixuan and Li Zixin.
Li Xingnian asked with a smile, “Did you enjoy yourselves at your aunt’s house?”
Li Zixin immediately nodded, “Yes, it was fun. Usually, we not only attended classes with our cousin but also joined her for several banquets and visited the garden estates.”
Li Xingnian: “So were you only focused on playing? Did you learn the proper manners from Master Shen?”
The main reason they had placed both sisters under their aunt’s care was to let them learn proper manners. Compared to official and aristocratic families, a merchant’s rules and etiquette were unfortunately lacking.
This time, Li Zixuan was the one to respond.
“Daughter understands the intentions of mother, father, and uncle and aunt. My sister and I have earnestly studied etiquette and manners.”
