Ye Changshan yawned and walked out of the house. Because of his thoughts, he didn't sleep well after falling asleep last night. That's right. He originally wanted to forget the "inexplicable" troubles he had been having recently through practice, but he didn't expect that the troubles would become worse and worse, causing one wave after another.
Walking into the courtyard, the familiar burning smell did not spread. The later you go to bed, the earlier you wake up. It seems that I woke up earlier than usual today.
Qi Lang was sitting on the stone pier, still drawing those round and round figures that were incomprehensible. However, Ye Changshan had long been accustomed to strange things. At this time, he was not in the mood to watch.
'Wow——'
The sound of splashing water came from the courtyard. Zichun was rolling up his sleeves and sprinkling the water in the bucket on the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Perhaps it was because carrying water and watering flowers took too much energy. After a while, Zichun stood aside with his hands on his small waist. After nodding with satisfaction when looking at his masterpiece, he put the bucket and ladle away and walked straight to the kitchen. .
Looking at the beautiful figure of Fifth Senior Sister, Ye Changshan fell into thoughts. After a brief hesitation, Ye Changshan took steps and followed Zichun's footsteps towards the kitchen.
Walking into the kitchen, I saw the fifth senior sister holding a bowl of broth and drinking it. Seeing that the fifth senior sister was drinking with such gusto, Ye Changshan was about to praise the third senior brother a few words, but before he could speak, Zichun's small and delicate murmur floated out from inside——
"Ugh! Who did this? It tastes terrible!"
"This is three...cough...hum..."
Hearing this, Ye Changshan swallowed the words hard when they came to his lips.
"Hey, a long gown."
"Good morning, Fifth Senior Sister."
"Changshan, why are your eyes so bloodshot? Didn't you get a good rest last night?"
Ye Changshan remained silent and just nodded.
"What's the matter? Are you thoughtful?"
After Ye Changshan hesitated for a moment, he finally chose to nod again.
"What's wrong? Tell me, senior sister."
Zichun said leisurely, and on the other side she put away the pots and pans on the stove.
Ye Changshan was still hesitant at this moment. Although the Fifth Senior Sister was the one who loved and cared most about him among these senior brothers and sisters, this was the most private matter in his heart after all. If he really wanted to say it all at once, he would be a little embarrassed. But it's not like he hasn't thought about this matter before. After thinking about it, it seems that only Fifth Senior Sister can help him.
After thinking about it again and again, Ye Changshan decided to try it out in a tactful way first.
Ye Changshan hesitated and said: "Senior sister, I, I want to ask you a question... I'm just out of curiosity..."
Seeing him like this, Zichun didn't pay attention. Instead, he continued to clean up the stove and replied casually: "Why are you whining? Come on, senior sister is listening."
Ye Changshan encouraged himself secretly and said: "Just...just...what do you girls like...I..."
"What did you say!? What girl!? Do you like it? Which girl is from that family?"
Just now, Zichun was tidying up the stove with her back to Ye Changshan. At this moment, she suddenly turned around and didn't even have time to put down the bowl and brush in her hand. Her bright eyes stared motionlessly at the little junior brother in front of her, and there was even a strange light shining inside. It was very different from her usual sweet and mature image, but she looked a bit like the way the sixth senior brother saw eating food - upright and strong.
Ye Changshan was startled by this sudden gesture and became a little at a loss.
"No...I didn't...it wasn't me...I just..."
Zichun seemed to realize that his overreaction seemed to frighten the young junior brother, and he lowered his head slightly and smiled sheepishly. But then, she raised her head and looked at Ye Changshan with a sweet and reserved smile, and whispered softly: "Changshan, come on! Don't be shy, tell senior sister more details."
Seeing that Fifth Senior Sister returned to her usual appearance, Ye Changshan calmed down a little. He quickly regained his senses and hurriedly found an excuse.
"I just want to ask senior sister, what do you girls like to write about? I want to buy some small items for... for sister Yiyi. I haven't seen you for a few years, so..."
Oh - it turns out to be that girl Yiyi, that brat is quite discerning.
"Why give her a gift?" Zichun's eyes suddenly became cunning, as if she was very interested in teasing the little boy who was just starting to fall in love.
"I...I..." Ye Changshan faltered again, but fortunately he was quite quick-thinking and quickly said: "When sister Yiyi gave me the flowers, I never had the chance to thank her. I want to thank her this time. .”
Thank you? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt, and your neck is almost cooked. You can scare those idiot senior brothers, but you still want to scare your senior sister?
Zichun was very clear in his heart, but he said seriously on the surface: "Different people like different things. Some girls like flowers and plants, some girls like kittens and puppies, and some girls like rouge and gouache. , and some girls like poetry, calligraphy and painting..."
"Well... then... I have to go up the mountain to catch a small animal someday... but... but what if she doesn't want to accept it?"
Seeing his junior brother worrying about gains and losses, Zichun felt funny again.
"It's possible that even if it's something she likes, she might not accept it."
"Ah? Why?" Ye Changshan suddenly became nervous.
"No reason, it's just that I don't like the person who gave me the gift."
"Then...how can we make her like the person who gives the gift?"
Spirituality! Finally he got the idea, Zichun praised Ye Changshan a little in his heart, and then said sincerely: "Of course he is responsible, dares to take responsibility, can achieve things, cares about the girl's family affairs, responds to all requests, and has everything. Wherever he is, he can step forward to help others when they are confused and helpless. As for appearance...then everyone has their own preferences. Like you, senior sister and me, we don’t require him to be handsome or elegant, as long as he is clean, tidy, and elegant. Just be fair and aboveboard, um... It would be better if you could know a little more about the cold and the warm, and know how to please girls... Of course, you can't understand these too much, otherwise these stinky men will turn into playboys sooner or later. radish…..."
Zichun spoke eloquently at first, then his voice became softer and softer, and his eyes drifted to the roof beams. It seemed that he was no longer talking to Ye Changshan, but more like talking to himself, with Ye Changshan listening on the side. It’s also inexplicable, and when I take a closer look, I always feel that something is wrong.
Strange, why does the first half of Fifth Senior Sister's sentence sound so familiar? It seems to be hinting at someone, and the second half of the sentence seems to be an ardent expectation for this person.
"Snapped--"
Zichun suddenly raised his hand and hit Ye Changshan. Although he didn't use any force, Zichun's palm was not big, so he could clearly feel some pain when he slapped it on his body.
"Senior sister, why did you hit me?" Ye Changshan asked with aggrieved face.
Seeing the junior brother's grievance and confusion, Zichun didn't take it seriously and said with a slightly warning expression: "Changshan, you can't become a playboy who plays with women in the future! Otherwise, don't blame senior sister for not recognizing you as a junior brother in the future. !”
Where is this? ? Ye Changshan, who was only a little confused just now, was really confused at this time. Why did this well-said thing involve him again? Women, women, their hearts are like needles in the sea, how difficult it is! too difficult!
There was a clear and cheerful whistle from outside the courtyard door. Looking sideways, I saw Ji Yanghe walking in from the outside in high spirits. He was in such good spirits that it was impossible to tell that he had not slept all night last night. Ji Yangyu was carrying a big bag on his back and a small hoe hanging on his waist. It was obvious that he had just returned from collecting medicine in the mountains.
The whistle became louder and louder, and the whistler was obviously walking towards the kitchen——
With the sound of "squeaking" the door open, Ji Yang appeared in the small kitchen. Seeing that there was not much broth left in the pot on the stove, Ji Yanghe, who had always been serious about his words, showed a rare smile of relief. Even Zichun and Ye Changshan, who were standing next to the stove, seemed to be transparent people. All he could see was the broth in the pot.
"uh-huh--"
Feeling this feeling of being ignored, Zichun groaned softly.
"Huh? Junior sister, junior brother, you are here."
Zichun rolled his eyes and spat in his heart. You didn't see these two living people standing in front of you, but they were so interested in your broth. Judging from their expressions, they seemed quite satisfied with the soup? cut!
"Junior sister, I've got all the medicine you ordered."
"Have you got Gastrodia elata, cantharides, and dried scorpions back too?"
Zichun didn't believe it. Ji Yang had just ordered these medicinal materials yesterday, and there were many rare varieties among them. Zichun originally thought that it would take Ji Yang and Ji Yang ten days and a half to collect them all, but when he said they had them all now, Zichun was naturally a little surprised.
"It's all ready."
Zichun's eyes lit up, and the remaining resentment disappeared. At this time, her eyes curved into two crescents, and she smiled extremely sweetly.
"Junior sister, the medicinal materials are here. I went back to the room to read." Ji Yangyu put the bag next to the door and turned to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to add: "Junior brother, you will practice on your own later. If you don’t understand anything, come and ask me.”
"Oh, okay." Ye Changshan replied.
Watching Ji Yang leave, Zichun moved to the door. She bent down to open the bag and looked at the medicinal materials inside. Zichun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Changshan, look at it, your third senior brother is 'responsive to all requests and everything is answered'. He is well-read and knowledgeable. Wen Qiangzhi, he has memorized all these medicines after being taught them once, so you have to study more."
Ye Changshan seemed to have some taste, but on the surface he didn't dare to have any questions and could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Not bad, not bad... Every time he is asked to do things he is not only done promptly but also very well. Look at the gastrodia elata, cantharis, dried scorpion, hellebore, and ginseng... huh? No... "
Suddenly, Zichun's praising voice stopped, and was replaced by a look of raised eyebrows and wide almond-shaped eyes.
Oops! Fifth Senior Sister is going crazy!
"What happened! How many times have I told you that hellebore and ginseng cannot be put together! Aconitum and Fritillaria must also be separated! If these medicines with opposite properties are mixed together and given to children, something will happen! It's unreliable! It's too unfair. It’s reliable!”
Zichun kept scolding Ji Yang and Ye Changshan was so frightened that he stood aside and didn't dare to say a word.
"Hmph! You know how to read when you read a book! Why doesn't this idiot get into the ink and live his whole life! None of these men have a long memory! They can't remember anything they told you! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
The more Zichun talked, the angrier he became. He was smiling just now, but now he was pouting and digging into his waist. Ye Changshan was secretly surprised - this girl's thoughts are really hard to fathom!
"Ye Changshan!"
"Eh!"
Hearing the fifth senior sister calling his name, Ye Changshan instinctively shrank his neck - this fifth senior sister was fine just now, why did she change so suddenly?
But right now, Ye Changshan couldn't think about this. He was like a weak chicken, standing in a small corner, not daring to move.
"You can never imitate your third senior brother in the future! Do you hear me?"
"Yes...yes...must...certainly...Fifth Senior Sister, then I will go practice first..."
Seeing that Zichun was angry, Ye Changshan was ready to find an excuse and run away. But before he could turn around, Zichun's scolding voice came again -
"return!"
"I haven't left yet, Fifth Senior Sister..."
"You! Help me separate these medicinal materials. I will teach you how to recognize these medicinal materials."
Listening to Zichun's unquestionable voice, Ye Changshan had no room for resistance, so he had no choice but to lift the bag obediently...
