The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yang Lan's move was so deep that even after the Lantern Festival, there was still no sign of progress.

Yang Qing and Yang Yao were going to go about their business the next day, so Xu had someone prepare a table and invited Yang Qi, Yang Qing and Yang Yao to come along and have a lively meal together.

Before the New Year, Mrs. An specially had someone make several new clothes for the five young ladies in the mansion, and Yang Qi wore them today.

Yang Qi deliberately left early today so that he could talk more with Xu. The mansion was in a mess during the New Year holidays, and Xu had to help out, so she didn't have time to talk to Yang Qi properly.

When Yang Qi arrived at Shi'an Courtyard, Yang Qing and Yang Yao were not there yet. Only Xu was chatting and laughing with Fang's mother in the house. After the Lantern Festival, Xu's burden was lifted and she finally had time to chat.

Hearing the servant's reply, Xu stood up and said with a smile: "This girl came here because of the fragrance."

Yang Qi listened to Xu's teasing and said with a smile: "Yes, my nose is the most sensitive. I knew there was something delicious here early in the morning, so I hurried over."

Mother Fang walked forward, untied the cloak from Yang Qi, and put it aside.

Xu looked at Yang Qi, who was becoming more and more beautiful, and was happy from the bottom of her heart: "This child will be of marriageable age in three years, and marriage should be put on the agenda by then."

In Xu's eyes, Yang Qi is a beautiful person with a kind heart, and she is good at everything about her. She will find an excellent husband's family for Yang Qi in the future.

Holding Yang Qi's hand, Xu asked seriously, "Yang Qi, tell me seriously, what kind of husband's family do you want to find in the future?"

Yang Qi had thought about this question a long time ago: "I just want to find a husband who is dutiful and has a kind mother-in-law."

Yang Qing's voice suddenly came from the doorway: "It's true that things are different when you're one year older. The little girl is looking for a husband."

Yang Qi was not shy when he heard Yang Qing's words: "Brother, you are here just in time. Tell me what kind of wife you want to find? It will give you a direction in the future."

Yang Qing wanted to pat Yang Qi on the head to see what the little girl was talking about, but when he thought of Yang Qi's age, he held back: "You, do you think everyone is as bold as you?"

Behind Yang Qing is Yang Yao. Having lived in the military camp since childhood, Yang Yao has long lost his childhood immaturity and is now like a sharp sword.

Seeing Yang Qing sitting down, Yang Yao found a chair behind Yang Qi and sat down, interrupting at the right time: "Yes, among the ladies of the capital, only the third sister can say such words."

The longer Yang Yao stayed in the military camp, the more separations and deaths he saw. He became less and less talkative. He could only joke and chat with Yang Qing and Yang Qi.

Yang Qi scratched his nose with his hand: "If I don't tell you about these things, who else can know? You can't wait until you get married and find out that it's not what you want, and then tell me, right?"

Xu agreed with Yang Qi's idea very much: "Yang Qi is right. Elders cannot fully predict the children's thoughts. We still need to communicate more. This can save a lot of trouble."

With Xu's support, Yang Qi suddenly became emboldened. He looked at Yang Qing and Yang Yao provocatively, making them both laugh and cry.

Yang Qing peeled a piece of fruit on the table and stuffed it into his mouth: "Yang Qi, how is your shop? The last time I passed by Caoshi, it looked quite decent."

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Thanks to big brother, this shop is doing well and is now renamed Guangming Hall."

Yang Qing didn't send anyone to monitor Yang Qi's affairs, but that didn't mean she knew nothing about it: "You have to be careful when doing business in the pharmacy, and you have to pay more attention when purchasing goods. This is a matter of life and death, and you must not be careless."

When talking about serious matters, Yang Qi and the other two were still very serious: "Yes, after the store expands, there are fewer places that we can manage. How to control it well really requires us to think hard."

Yang Qing nodded and said, "There is no order without rules. The account books of all stores must be separated, and every entry must be clear and can withstand inspection."

When talking about these topics, Yang Yao also had something to say. The three of them chatted away, and Xu was standing by, refilling people's water bottles from time to time.

Yang Qi has always been worried that An Xiaoqiu would attack his eldest brother like he did in his previous life, but facts told Yang Qi that his worries were in vain.

I don't know if it's Yang Qi's intervention, but now the trajectory of many things has shifted. You know, in the previous life, An Xiaoqiu stayed in the Duke's Mansion for three years before he could count on his eldest brother.

After the meal, Yang Qi took out two sachets from his pocket and handed them to Yang Qing and Yang Yao respectively.

"Brother, this is a sachet for you. Life in Kongyang Academy must be extremely hard, so I prepared some soothing herbs for you so that you can have a good sleep if you are tired."

"Ayao, this is for you. You have been staying in the army, so the conditions must be bad. I put some insect repellent herbs here, and I specially selected some with light flavors. If you are going to frequent places with a lot of mosquitoes in the future, remember to bring it with you."

"I embroidered both of these sachets myself." Yang Qing's is a blue background with bamboo embroidered on it, while Yang Yao's is a dark green background with a sword embroidered on it.

Yang Qing and Yang Yao took the sachets and immediately hung them on themselves.

Yang Qing smiled and said, "Ever since Yang Qi started learning needlework, all the scent bags on me and A Yao were made by Yang Qi."

Yang Yao didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

Xu held her two sons' hands and said, "There have been many things going on in the mansion these days. Yang Qi and I have prepared a lot of food for you. When you are away from home, don't be reluctant to spend money. You have to spend it where it is necessary."

Yang Yao rarely went home, but when she returned home this time, she suddenly found that her mother had a few more white hairs on her head. She must have missed her family. "Don't worry, mom. My brother and I will take good care of ourselves. You should ask Doctor Bai to check our pulse when you have nothing to do. If our family is healthy, my brother and I can feel more at ease when we are outside."

After hearing Yang Yao's words, not only Xu, but even Yang Qi was moved. Their usually taciturn brother would say so many caring words.

The next day, Yang Qi and Xu got up early in the morning to send Yang Qing and Yang Yao off.

Watching the two people's backs as they walked away, Xu was very reluctant to let them go. With tears in her eyes, she was reluctant to return home.

Yang Qi walked forward and pulled Xu's hand: "It's windy outside." A Yao said yesterday that when he was away from home, what he was most worried about was the health of his relatives at home.

Xu wiped her tears and took Yang Qi's hand: "Go back." Her back was no longer visible, and there was no point in staying here.

On the way back to Shi'an Temple, Xu said to Yang Qi who was standing beside her, "If you are free in a few days, come with me to Lingshan Temple." To pray for Yang Qing and Yang Yao.

Yang Qi nodded: "Okay, it depends on my aunt's time."
