The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After instructing Yang Qing, the old lady began to ask Xu whether Yang Qing's clothes were ready and whether Kongyang Academy was well organized. Xu kept answering the old lady's questions with a smile. At this time, the old lady was just an elder who missed her grandson.

While the old lady and Xu were talking, Yang Qing turned to Yang Qi and said softly, "Yang Qi, I have found some rare things in the capital these days, and now I have asked Song Wei to move them to Linhu Courtyard for you."

Yang Qi felt warm in his heart when he heard Yang Qing's words. He knew that Brother Yang Qing always remembered him, so he said, "Thank you, Brother."

Yang Qing smiled and continued, "I'm just kidding. There are some rare things and a lot of books for you. Also, I've told the people in the courtyard that if you want to read a book in the future, you can go directly to my study."

Hearing Yang Qing's words, Yang Qi's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the old lady and saw that she didn't notice this side. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Really? Thank you, brother!" Yang Qing's words really touched Yang Qi's heart.

After a few words, Rong's mother came in and said, "Madam, the table outside has been set up. You can go and have dinner."

The old lady nodded and said to the people in the room, "Let's go eat together."

Yang Lan, who was watching the old lady's every move, took the initiative to step forward and support the old lady.

All the food for today's feast was made by the small kitchen in the old lady's courtyard, without using the food and manpower from the big kitchen. For Yang Qi, the dishes in the old lady's small kitchen were rare to eat.

Today is a family dinner and there are no outsiders. The only man at the table is Brother Yang Qing. Yang Qi followed Yang Qing out of the main room, so when they sat down, Yang Qi followed Yang Qing and sat on one side.

After all the dishes were served, Yang Qi looked at the dishes on the table: steamed lamb, roast duck, assorted Suzhou dishes, whitebait, plain rice noodles, and eight-treasure hazelnut sauce...

It seems that the old lady's small kitchen always has a lot of ingredients. The time of Brother Yang Qing's departure was not agreed in advance, but was a sudden decision. Under such circumstances, the small kitchen was still able to prepare such a feast. It seems that the old lady's daily meals are really excellent.

Yang Qi really wanted to eat these dishes every day. She was not jealous. She just thought that if she could eat these every day, she would be able to eat a few more bowls of rice, and she would definitely grow taller.

After dinner, everyone congratulated Yang Qing and then left. The old lady looked at Yang Qing and felt very reluctant to let him go. She had raised this child by herself. Not only was he good-looking, but he also studied very hard. He entered Kongyang Academy at an early age. He had always been her pride and hope.

The old lady held back her reluctance and said to Yang Qing, "Yang Qing, since you have entered Kongyang Academy, you must study hard and don't let down such a good opportunity."

Yang Qing bowed to the old lady and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I'll remember this."

Yang Qi did not rush back to Linhu Courtyard, but followed Yang Qing and Xu to Shi'an Courtyard. Although Yang Qing's departure time was a bit impromptu, Xu had already packed up all the belongings and luggage and placed them neatly in the main house.

Looking at these luggages, Yang Qi finally realized that his elder brother was going on a long journey, and he couldn't help feeling sad. He had been studying with Mr. Yang every day during this period, and even when his elder brother was at home, they had never had a good time to meet and reminisce about the past.

After entering the house, Yang Qi held back her tears, took out the sachet from her sleeve, handed it to Yang Qing, and said, "Brother, I have recently started to learn needlework with the nanny. This is the sachet I embroidered myself. I put some medicinal herbs such as cloves and atractylodes in it. I wish you all the best in Kongyang Academy." Upon learning that Brother Yang Qing would not be at home for long, Yang Qi put down the half-embroidered headband for the old lady and began to embroider the sachet for her brother.

Yang Qing took the sachet from Yang Qi. Because it was for Yang Qing to use, Yang Qi specially chose a blue-green fabric. Yang Qing sniffed it and found the smell she liked, so she hung the sachet on her body and said, "Thank you, Yang Qi. Big Brother likes it very much."

Seeing the brother and sister loving each other, Xu's sadness and reluctance about her eldest son leaving home faded a little, and she said, "Your third sister has only just started learning needlework in the past few days, and she has prepared it for us all. It's really thoughtful."

Yang Qing touched Yang Qi's head and said, "I have received your kindness. When I am not at home, you should study hard with Mr. Yang. If you have any questions, you can write to me."

Seeing Yang Qi nod seriously, Yang Qing continued, "Also, Mr. Yang's class is about to start this afternoon, so you should go to Wutong Courtyard and prepare for class."

Yang Qi continued to take out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and said to Yang Qing: "Brother, this is the hemostatic medicine made in my shop. Brother, you are alone outside, even though you are in the academy, but just in case, you should take it with you."

Yang Qing felt that her four-year-old sister was so cute. She thought so much at such a young age. However, Yang Qing did not reject Yang Qi's kindness. She took the medicine bottle and said, "I know. Let's go to class."

Yang Qi looked at the elder brother in front of him and felt very reluctant to leave. However, although his elder brother had some conflicts in various aspects before meeting An Xiaoqiu, everything went smoothly overall. So he bowed to Xu and took Jing Shan to Wutong Courtyard.

Looking at Yang Qi's receding back, Yang Qing said to Xu: "Mom, when I came back this time, I felt that my third sister had really grown up a lot."

Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "After experiencing smallpox, Yang Qi has become much more sensible."

Yang Qing looked at Xu and said with a little distress in her eyes: "No matter how sensible she is, she is just a four-year-old girl."

Xu knew what her son meant and said, "Are you worried about what your mother is doing? Even if it's because of Sister Gu's life-saving grace, I will still take care of Yang Qi until he grows up. Let's not talk about this. My son should check quickly to see if there is anything he has forgotten to bring."

Yang Qing said helplessly: "Mom, these are too many. This time, only Song Wei and I will go."

Time passed quickly, and Yang Qing was about to leave the house. Xu became more and more reluctant to let her go, and she carefully reminded Yang Qing: "Yang Qing, if you have any needs in the academy, you must tell me in time."

"In everything, your health is the most important thing. Don't let studying ruin your health."

Yang Qing saw that Xu's eyes had already turned red and tears were welling up in them. She was very reluctant to leave, but the time had come and her classmate Zhao Qian was also waiting at the door. Yang Qing could only let Song Wei pick up the gift and said to Xu: "Mother, you must take care of yourself at home."
