Chapter 645: Chapter 581, Heartstring Fluctuations_1

The Prince came out of the Imperial Palace and took a detour to Chang’an Street. Seeing that the Four Seasons Seed Store was still crowded, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. After a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead, "Ah, this prince knows why the fruits and vegetables from the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop are always in short supply."

Shunzi hurriedly asked, "Master, why is that?"

The Prince revealed a look of realization on his face, "I ask you, do you want to eat the fruits and vegetables sold at the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop?"

Shunzi promptly nodded, "Yes, ever since the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop started selling watermelons, they would cut a watermelon every morning for everyone to taste for free. I was fortunate enough to have a piece, and even thinking about the taste now makes my mouth water."

The Prince continued, "But what if you can’t buy their fruits and vegetables because there’s only so much available each day? What would you do then?"

Without thinking, Shunzi said, "Wait, and then come early the next day to line up and buy."

The Prince gave Shunzi a look of disappointment, "Even if you come early, only a few will be able to buy any." He said while turning his gaze towards Four Seasons Seed Store.

"If you can’t buy the ready-grown, you can settle for the next best thing by buying some seeds to grow yourself. No wonder such good seeds are priced so low; my imperial brother is indirectly guiding everyone to buy seeds!"

After saying this, he showed a look of admiration, "The emperor truly has the people’s interests at heart!"

Unable to help himself, Shunzi asked, "If the emperor wants to promote seeds so as not to directly issue a decree, wouldn’t this be faster?"

The Prince choked and paused, realizing, yes, issuing a decree would be faster. Why go through all this trouble?

"...Perhaps my imperial brother wants to experience the joy of running a shop? Or maybe he wants to see how people react?"

...

Ningmen Prefecture.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of May, Provincial Governor Dong and Madam Dong brought Dong Yuanxuan and Dong Yuanyao to the Yan Family, accompanied by the entire Su Family.

The arrival of the Su Family pleased Madam Li. Although the Su Family had shown a willingness to accept the match before, until the marriage was confirmed, Madam Li’s heart was not at ease.

This visit from the Su Family was a perfect opportunity to have the Master and Su Family Elder discuss the young son’s marriage.

Madam Li warmly led Madam Dong and the wife of Su Family Elder toward the grandmother’s courtyard.

Behind them, Daohua excitedly took Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu, "I really didn’t expect to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with you this year."

Dong Yuanyao smiled, "It’s all thanks to my big brother that we could come. He strongly persuaded my parents to visit, saying that once we return to the capital, there will be fewer chances to visit Zhongzhou and we should take the opportunity to see more."

Daohua agreed, "That makes sense."

Su Shiyu glanced at Daohua’s foot and asked, "What happened to your foot?"

Daohua smiled, "A few days ago, I went to the mountains to gather herbs and accidentally sprained it."

Dong Yuanyao quickly asked, "I hope it’s nothing serious?"

Daohua, "No, a few days of rest and it will be fine."

Soon, everyone arrived at the Songhe Courtyard.

Old Madam Yan was all smiles interacting with Madam Dong and the wife of Su Family Elder. When the younger generation came forward to offer their greetings, she affectionately pulled Su Shiyu in for a conversation and even gave her a piece of exquisite warm jade.

Seeing this, Dong Yuanyao promptly pulled on Daohua’s sleeve, "Why is your grandmother so nice to Shiyu?"

Daohua glanced at the wife of Su Family Elder, who was smiling and prompting Shiyu to accept the warm jade. With a sense of reassurance, she whispered, "My fourth brother likes Sister Su."

Dong Yuanyao’s eyes widened, and then with a look of realization, she said, "I was wondering why Yan Fourth Brother kept going over to Shiyu’s side. However..." She suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Understanding her unfinished words, Daohua mentioned her fourth brother’s intention never to take a concubine due to the significant social status difference between the Yan Family and the Su Family.

After hearing this, Dong Yuanyao said enviously, "Yan Fourth Brother values Shiyu so much, she really is fortunate."

Daohua smiled and took her hand, "You’ll meet a gentleman you fancy in the future too."

Dong Yuanyao’s expression turned slightly bitter, "I fear I won’t have such luck." She shook her head, "Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about something else. By the way, did the Jiang Family and Guo Family cause any trouble when they were at Ningmen Prefecture?"

Daohua spoke lightly, "Each family held a banquet and had a bit of a covert competition, but other than that, it was quiet."

Dong Yuanyao asked, "I heard you had a public confrontation with a nanny from the palace, is that true?"

Daohua nodded and briefly recounted the incident.

Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua admiringly, "You’re quite bold. But you did the right thing. People like Nanny Jia love to bully others in the name of authority, and if you don’t stand up to her, she will bully you again. Just be careful, people from the palace are very cunning and malicious. Be careful she doesn’t trap you in some scheme."

Daohua nodded, "Don’t worry, she won’t have the chance."
