Chapter 197 Stepping Stones

Ye Jiu thought of the poison Xia He said, and couldn't help but be curious. "What is the effect of this poison?"

Xia He pursed her lips in joy, her brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, looking a little malicious and cunning.

Her appearance aroused Ye Jiu's curiosity.

Xia He hooked his fingers at him, Ye Jiu attached his ear to him, and Xia He whispered softly in his ear.

Ye Jiu's eyes widened when he heard that, and when Xia He finished speaking, the expression on his face could only be described in words.

"Are you sure you don't have that much hatred with him?" He didn't believe it at all.

"Really not." Xia He didn't even blink.

On the second day, Xia He didn't go to Liuhe Court, and the Sifang Pharmacy also made an agreement with shopkeeper Liang that she would go there after a year, so she stole half a day off from Fusheng and was idle at home.

It's really idle, I don't want to practice martial arts today, and I don't want to watch medical skills.

After lunch, she was a little bored, and suddenly remembered Yanhua who still lived in Liyuan.

She hasn't seen him since the last time she asked him to read with Brother Quan.

"Cui Liu, let's go, let's go to Liyuan." Xia He got up, fell silent for a moment, and said to Cui Liu. "This morning, the dumb slave made some plum cakes again. You go and put a plate, and we will send it to Yanhua."

Cui Liu didn't understand why her lady was so devoted to Yan Hua, even though she was the young master's companion, she was still a slave after all, and she would never get to deliver cakes to him in person.

Seeing Cui Liu standing aside in a daze, Xia He urged. "Cui Liu, why are you in a daze? Go quickly."

Cui Liu was urged by her, and quickly recovered. "Miss, even if this Yan Hua is a servant of our family, he is a man after all. If you go to deliver cakes to him, let alone offend him, even if His Royal Highness finds out about it, it's not good."

"Yejiu!" Xia He looked at Cui Liu helplessly. "What are you thinking! If you want to avoid it, then I don't even need to be a doctor."

As a doctor, if there are patients coming to the door, it is difficult to hang a slogan "Men are dead" in front of the clinic door!

"Can it be the same!" Cui Liu will not be fooled by her.

"Okay, it's different." Xia He admitted generously. "It's just that, no matter how different it is, I still have to go."

This Yanhua won't stay in the mansion for long, she doesn't move around, she gives some small favors, and when people go to the military camp in the future, how can they remember their loyalty to the uncle's mansion and support Brother Quan.

In the end, Cui Liu obediently carried the food box containing the plum cake and followed Xia He to Liyuan.

leave the garden.

Yan Hua is sitting on the porch right now, flipping through the books in his hand.

When he heard footsteps approaching from far away, he pretended not to know and continued flipping through the book in his hand.

Xia He didn't believe that with his hearing ability, he would not have noticed that he and Cui Liu walked in.

However, he just pretended not to know.

Anyway, Xia He didn't point it out.

After walking in, looking at Yan Hua who was still silent in the sea of ​​books, she asked. "What book are you reading?"

Yan Hua heard her voice, got up and saluted. "See miss."

"No need to be too polite." Xia He said quickly.

Yan Hua stood still and answered her previous question. "Miss Hui, the servant is reading the military book."

Xia He's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard that he was reading a military book. "Then on weekdays, does Brother Quan follow you to read military books?"

Yan Hua raised her head and took a deep look at Xia He. "Miss Hui, yes."

Cui Liu saw that he was looking directly at her young lady so openly, and couldn't help coughing deliberately as a reminder.

Unexpectedly, both Xia He and Yan Hua didn't seem to notice it.

"That would be great." Xia He was really happy, and quickly pointed to the food box in Cui Liu's hand. "This is the plum cake made in the small kitchen in my courtyard. It tastes really good. I'll send you a plate here. You can try it."

Hearing that she said it was specially for her, Yanhua felt happy for some reason.

It seems that the haze of these days, the boulder that weighed on my heart, suddenly disappeared, and I only felt a ray of light coming in, warming myself.

"Thank you, miss." He was not a man of words.

The last time he said goodbye, he hadn't seen her for a long time.

And those bits and pieces about her were all heard from Xia Tingquan when he was with him.

He could tell that Xia Tingquan respected and loved this elder sister very much, and what he talked about most every day was her name and her affairs.

It was also because of this that the girl in his memory became more abundant day by day. Even though he had never seen her again, he was no stranger to her.

"Then why be polite? No matter how polite you are, you'll be out of touch." Xia He is not a person who is good at pulling in the distance. He thought in his heart that he should get closer to others, but at this time, he felt that he was at a loss for words.

Yanhua didn't know what to say for a while, even though he had rehearsed thousands of words in his heart countless times, but at this moment, he found that he was still at a loss for words.

In the end, it was Xia He who remembered the food box in Cui Liu's hand and asked Cui Liu to pass it to him.

Yanhua finally said "thank you" politely.

Xia He thought for a while, and asked him and Xia Tingquan about their daily study and practice.

Yan Hua answered one by one.

He didn't exaggerate, didn't cadence, and wasn't exciting at all, but Xia He listened to such simple and unpretentious narration.

Between the lines of Yan Hua, Xia He suddenly felt that he knew another side of Xia Tingquan.

It turned out that when he was not by her side, he was so sensible, serious, and motivated.

Xia He firmly believes that one day, her brother Quan will grow into a man of indomitable spirit.

Yan Hua looked at the light in her eyes, and felt that it was the light shining into his heart, making him just want to get closer.

Before they knew it, the two chatted for nearly an hour.

until.

Dongzi ran into Li Garden and found Xia He. "Miss, the young master asked me to pick you up."

When Xia He saw Dongzi, although what he said was vague, she still understood what he meant.

Xia He hastily said goodbye to Yan Hua, and left Li Garden with Cui Liu and Dong Zi.

Yan Hua looked in the direction of the door, only to see that there was no one there soon.He clutched the food box in his hand tightly, thinking: I don't know when we will meet again next time.

After leaving Li Garden, Xia He asked Dongzi. "But there is news from Shuntian Mansion that the palace will reward you today?"

Dongzi didn't expect that Miss could guess this, and he admired her even more in his heart.

"Exactly. Before a stick of incense, Lord Hong sent someone to deliver a message to the young master, saying that the reward from the palace will come down very soon today, so that the young master should hurry up to receive the order."

"Brother Quan is the serious head of Liuhe Court. It's fine if he's around, and it's okay if I'm not." How could Xia He not understand Xia Tingquan's thoughts.

But this kind of thing, in the eyes of others, may be the mighty grace of the emperor.But to her, it's just a stepping stone.
