It's winter, the weather is cold, my hair is long, and I can't dry it for a while after washing it.
Tao Yaoyao misses the hair dryer especially.
"That's it, let it dry and dry it early tomorrow morning." Tao Yaoyao hadn't had a soothing sleep for a long time. She fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as she finished saying this.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Xie Lan reached out to push her, but heard her even breathing. Seeing this, he was speechless. Then he stood up with a dark face, mobilized his internal energy, and dried her hair before lying down. .
After a good night's sleep, it was a sunny day the next day.
After the sunshine filled the courtyard, Tao Yaoyao felt very good no matter what she was doing in the courtyard.
Dashan returned to the mine early in the morning. Dongmei made breakfast and sent it to Qiuping first. After watching her finish eating, she started to urge everyone to have breakfast.
Breakfast in the countryside is simple, with a big pot of stick noodles, a basket of steamed buns, and a bowl of scrambled eggs and a bowl of pickles on the table. The scrambled eggs are to entertain them, and the pickles are eaten together by everyone.
Country people are simple and honest. If you treat them well, they will treat you with 100% sincerity, even if they don't know you or understand you at all.
Tao Yaoyao sat at the table, feeling more at ease and comfortable than ever before.
"I don't like eggs, let's all eat them." Tao Yaoyao didn't want to be special, so she put the eggs in the middle of the table so that everyone could eat them. However, she underestimated their simplicity and the meal was over halfway. None of them tried to pinch them. Seeing this, Tao Yaoyao simply stood up and divided the bowl of eggs himself.
"Girl, I can't help it. Our family is too poor and we have nothing good to entertain you. It's just a bowl of eggs. If you don't eat it, we will be embarrassed to let you see my daughter-in-law again."
Tao Yaoyao didn't charge for Qiuping's consultation, so they were very embarrassed.
"You were kind enough to take us in, and you didn't ask us what we wanted." Tao Yaoyao drank the soup, and without waiting for what the old woman was saying, she got up and went to Qiu Ping's house.
The little guy had just woken up and was now lying on the bed nibbling on his own hands. When he saw her coming over, he waved his little hands happily.
Qiuping already knew what happened yesterday, and she was extremely grateful to Tao Yaoyao.
"If it weren't for the girl, I might have died. The girl is the reborn parent of our mother and son." Qiuping wanted to stand up and kowtow to her benefactor, but Tao Yaoyao immediately stopped her.
"You are going to disembowel your abdomen to remove the child. You must not move for at least seven days. Otherwise, once the wound opens, I may not be able to save you. So, for the sake of your child, lie down well.
As for what you want to write to thank me for, it’s not too late. "
Qiuping smiled happily after knowing that they would not leave for a while.
"The girl is so beautiful, just like a fairy in the sky."
Tao Yaoyao was amused by her words, "Have you ever seen an immortal?"
"No."
"Then how do you know that I resemble a god?"
Qiuping explained, "The girl is kind-hearted, just like a god. Although I have never seen a god, I think gods are just like girls."
"You are really good at talking." Tao Yaoyao took her pulse and prescribed another prescription before standing up and leaving.
"Girl, do you have to eat this recipe?" Qiuping stopped her, with embarrassment in her eyes.
Tao Yaoyao thought of something and then said, "The medicines on this list are all available in the back mountains. You don't have to worry. I'll dig them up and come back later."
Hongmei learned that she was going to dig herbs and wanted to go with her, but there were so many things to do at home and she had to take care of her children, so she couldn't get away.
"It's okay for Shiro and I to go together. My sister-in-law should be busy at home."
King Dingbei ranked fourth, so Tao Yaoyao gave him such a temporary name.
A quarter of an hour later, Xie Lan was carrying a bamboo basket and Tao Yaoyao was holding a small shovel. They were walking side by side in the village. When the villagers in the village saw them, they praised them for their talent and beauty.
"Their eyesight is really average." Tao Yaoyao was embarrassed by being said, and it was hard to say anything back, so she could only secretly say a few words to herself to make herself feel better.
After Xie Lan heard this, he glared at her, "You have a fiancé, and I am involved with you. It is obvious that I am the one who suffers the most."
"Xie Lan, don't be ungrateful. Who saved your life time and time again? Also, I am a girl. I am proud but thin-skinned. What's wrong with a few complaints?
No matter how you look like a girl, people who don't know it think you already have a sweetheart, so they can't wait to clear up the relationship with me. "
After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, his eyes lit up as he thought of something.
"My lord, do you really have a sweetheart?" After a pause, she added, "At your age, it's normal for you to have a sweetheart, but I can't clear your name these days. I won't be able to return your innocence until I return to Kyoto. Cheng, I promise I will never make such a joke with you again."
Xie Lan saw that she was now so bold that she even dared to call his name, and her brows were so furrowed that she could pinch a fly to death.
But after hearing her last words, he almost couldn't help but want to open his brain to see what she was thinking about all day long.
At this time, someone passed by, and his outstretched hand withdrew again.
Forget it, it’s useless to say more.
"You don't need to worry about my king's affairs. If you really have this spare time, think carefully about how to use this opportunity to cancel this marriage."
The Third Prince caused her to fall off a cliff. Even if she didn't die in the end, as long as she clung to this matter, it would be enough for the Third Prince to shed a layer of his skin.
However, the third prince is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When dealing with the third prince, she will also be plotted by the third prince.
For example, she is a woman who has not left the court and has been sleeping outside for many days. Based on this, it is difficult for her to break off the engagement cleanly.
"You mean, I can't bring up the matter of canceling the engagement at all this time?" Tao Yaoyao really wanted to use this matter to cancel the engagement, but what Xie Lan said made sense.
The third prince is not a gentleman. He becomes despicable and commits all kinds of evil.
Moreover, she had almost killed herself because of her impulsiveness before. This time, she had to think of all the escape routes before taking action.
"Then can I regret it now?" Tao Yaoyao looked at Xie Lan, "As long as I go back now..."
"Even if you go back now, the Third Prince will not let you find an opportunity to harm him."
There is not much difference between not going back for one day and not going back for several days.
The third prince wanted to plot against him, and he had many tricks.
At the moment, her not going back makes the third prince worried, but it is the only way to get revenge on him.
Just like this, she would continue to face the person in front of her.
Why is it so difficult for her? She can't advance or retreat.
"It's been a day. Have you thought about your next plan?" You can't stay here every day and do nothing, right?
The sooner he acted, the sooner they could leave.
Rather than fighting with him here, she would rather go back and face the third prince Gang.
"Chang Geng will be able to find us at noon today at the latest."
Also, he is a majestic prince and cannot dig iron in the mine. After Chang Geng comes, he can follow Dashan there so that he can investigate what is going on in the mine.
"Your Majesty is wise."
After knowing his plan, Tao Yaoyao felt much better.
This mountain is very big. In winter, the mountains and plains are covered with grass. At a glance, there is almost no place to set foot. However, it is difficult to see insects and ants at this time of year.
For Tao Yaoyao, this is a great good thing.
"here."
After Tao Yaoyao found several herbs in a row, she couldn't find the remaining herbs. It was almost noon, and Tao Yaoyao was a little tired.
Strange, these are the most common medicinal materials, why are there none in Houshan?
"Let's go look over there."
Xie Lan turned around and looked around. After seeing that the vegetation nearby was more lush, he carried the frame and walked over first. At this time, a crying voice came from not far away. If you listen carefully, the voice sounded familiar.
Tao Yaoyao pulled Xie Lan back almost subconsciously, and then the two of them hid behind a nearby tree.
"Taohua, I want to marry you too, but the betrothal gift your parents want is too much. You also know the situation of our family..."
Peach blossom?
Is she the girl who walked in front of them just now?
She vaguely remembered that people in the village called her Taohua.
Gee, the folk customs here are really open.
In broad daylight, they can see wild mandarin ducks.
"Brother Daqiang, you know, I don't care about these things, my parents want them all. As long as you are willing to marry me, I don't mind if you don't give me anything."
Tsk tsk, love brain.
Men definitely like to hear this.
But things that are too easy to obtain will not be cherished.
When the man heard her words, he hugged her happily, then lowered his head and was about to kiss her. At this time, Tao Yaoyao deliberately coughed.
When the people nearby heard the noise, they immediately dispersed and hurried down the mountain.
Tao Yaoyao walked out from behind the big tree and smiled as she watched the wild mandarin ducks she had broken up run away. Xie Lan looked at her as if he had seen a ghost, "Are you really a woman?"
Wouldn't an ordinary woman blush with shame when seeing something like this?
But as for her, not only was she not shy at all, but she was still looking at him with unsatisfied interest.
Even when you are having fun watching it, you stand up to ruin other people's good deeds.
"What do you know? If I didn't stand up, that man would have taken advantage of her. That person named Taohua was obviously deceived by that man.
If a person really likes you, he will risk everything to buy what you want in your home. What's more, if you feel that the betrothal gift is too large and does not comply with the rules, you can also find someone to go to the girl's house to discuss it. In short, there is There is a solution to the problem, instead of tempting other girls to have a private meeting with him here. "
Moreover, that man obviously had the intention of making a meal out of raw rice.
It's just that she can ruin their good deeds once, but she can't be so accurate every time.
"Say it as if you know it very well." Xie Lan walked around her, saw a few medicinal plants nearby, and asked her, "Are these the medicinal herbs you are looking for?"
After Tao Yaoyao saw the medicinal materials, he immediately put the matter behind him.
"That's all, let's go home and eat."
