She knew why Yun Jinnian did not take the same path as before, fearing that the scenery would evoke her emotions.
This miss ah, has the kindest heart.
She holds everyone in her heart, thinking of them carefully and earnestly.
"I’m somewhat puzzled," Yun Jinnian said, frowning slightly.
Chu Yu looked toward Yun Jinnian, seeing her fair cheeks, so delicate, wondering what it would feel like to kiss her?
Licking his lips, he cleared his throat roughly, "What’s puzzling you?"
"On the snow mountain, when I took Zhou Yunshen’s pulse, his illness seemed to have worsened, but why didn’t I hear of him sending for me while in Nanjiang? Could it be that he has found a doctor more skilled than I am?" Yun Jinnian said slowly.
This too was baffling.
Zhou Yunshen’s illness, if not properly treated to eradicate its root, would be greatly detriment to his offspring in the future.
Yet as a girl, it was not appropriate for her to speak of such matters.
"It is said that the Emperor of Great Zhou is seriously ill, so he must have gone back to fulfill his filial duties!" Chu Yu said carelessly.
Inside, he hoped that Zhou Yunshen would roll far away, never to appear in front of Yun Jinnian again.
He detested him to death.
She couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s a pity that the Snow Lotus didn’t sell, and it was priced quite high too!"
Chu Yu laughed, "There will be a chance!"
After suffering from his illness for so many years and still not getting better, it was inevitable that he would seek out Yun Jinnian again.
"Hmm, when he comes to me, I’ll definitely make him continue using the Tian Mountain Snow Lotus!"
"When we earn the silver, I’ll share half with you!"
Yun Jinnian laughed, "Alright, then I’ll be earning double!"
Zhou Yunshen would have to pay a consultation fee when he came for treatment, right?
Seeing Yun Jinnian laugh, Chu Yu was also overjoyed.
After having lunch and getting ready, they continued on their journey. Lying inside the carriage, Yun Jinnian felt drowsy. Shi Jiayu made the mat comfortable for Yun Jinnian to lie down and sleep.
"Then, I’ll take a nap!"
After Yun Jinnian fell asleep, it became a bit stuffy, so Shi Jiayu picked up a silk fan and gently fanned her, cooling her down and making her sleep even more soundly.
Hemei and Henuan watched; after a while, Henuan took over the fanning duties from Shi Jiayu, who did not refuse and sat aside, slowly embroidering with a needle and thread.
Just as it was getting dark, they entered a small town and found the only inn to stay.
After bathing, they went to the dining hall for dinner.
The dishes were rich, and they tasted good.
"Tianci, have half a bowl of chicken soup!" Yun Jinnian said, scooping chicken soup for Han Tianci herself.
Han Tianci obediently drank the chicken soup and ate half a bowl of rice until he was so full that he burped continuously.
Yun Jinnian walked around the room with him to aid digestion, while Han Tianci recited from ’The Four Books and Five Classics’.
Yun Jinnian also memorized quite a bit.
"Tomorrow morning, let’s take a stroll around the town before we leave!"
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Then you should get up early so we can find a street stall, have something to eat, and then set off!"
After walking some more, Han Tianci no longer felt so full, and he went to sleep.
Yun Jinnian also got ready and lay down on the bed that Shi Jiayu had prepared.
The mat, blanket, pillow, and mosquito net were all things she had used along the way, and Shi Jiayu’s thoughtfulness moved Yun Jinnian.
Despite saying it several times, Shi Jiayu persisted in her ways, and Yun Jinnian let her be.
When the next day dawned, Han Tianci got up early; touched by her promise to Han Tianci, Yun Jinnian also got up early, got dressed, washed up, and called on Chu Yu, Yuwen Ya, and Prince Yanjun to leave the inn together.
This group of people, with handsome men and women who were as beautiful as celestial beings, attracted countless onlookers.
Seeing their unusual clothing and the refinement in every detail, they must have promising backgrounds.
Many people pointed and talked amongst themselves, full of curiosity.
As they reached a stall selling breakfast, Yuwen Ya smiled and asked, "What are you selling?"
"We have wontons, buns, soy milk, and deep-fried dough sticks!" A crisp voice came through.
The crowd turned to look and were all stunned.
