The shopkeeper was so surprised that he forgot to reach for it.
Only when Song Wangyue gave him a puzzled glance did he come back to his senses, and busily reached out to take it, instructing his mate to bring a pen and paper, and he wrote down the address himself.
“Wait a moment, girl, I’ll have the fellows load the goods and send them to you.”
“We still have to go to the restaurant, boss, tell the mate to send the goods straight away, I have someone at home.”
The shopkeeper smiled and answered.
A few people came out of the porcelain shop, turned to the pharmacy, bought the herbs for boiling herbal tea, went to the restaurant and boiled a lot of herbal tea out.
The herbal tea for the past few days had been sent by the shopkeeper to Gu’s village with a horse-drawn carriage to collect it.
After boiling three days’ worth of herbal tea, she didn’t rest and got on the carriage with a sweaty face to go home.
Gu Yi had the shopkeeper put a small pot of ice on the carriage and took a bushel fan to fan her.
After watching the sweat on her face subside, he put down the fan and poured her a cup of warm water and handed it to her mouth.
Song Si’s voice sank, “Young Master Gu, you’re tired too, rest for a while.”
“I’m not tired, I ……”
The subconscious words were out of his mouth before Gu Yi remembered that Song Si was still on the carriage, and his hand holding the water froze, not daring to move.
Song Wan Yue took the water and finished it in one gulp, put the cup on the small table, picked up the kettle and poured two cups, putting them in front of Song Si and Gu Yi respectively, “Big brother, drink water. Young master Gu, drink water.”
Gu Yi quietly looked at Song Si’s face, and seeing his sullen face, he was so frightened that he hastily picked up the cup and gulped several large sips.
“Young Master Gu, you may think Yue’er is still young, but after all, men and women are different, I hope you will behave yourself in the future.”
“It’s Yue’er’s fault for not refusing, I’ll talk to her properly when we get home.”
“I know that in Young Master Gu’s heart this may not mean much, but in the eyes of others there is no telling what rumours may spread, if Young Master Gu is really thinking of Yue’er, please keep your distance from her in future.”
……
Gu Yi bowed his head, not daring to say a word.
He was most afraid of Song Si’s lecture, and it made his head hurt to listen to it.
“Big brother, drink some water.”
Song Wangyue pushed the water cup on the table towards Song Si in an attempt to help Gu Yi out.
Song Si looked at her, “You are already eight years old, you should also know how to behave, let’s not talk about what happened in the past. Let’s just talk about what just happened, Young Master Gu has a distinguished status, how can you let him fan and pour water for you?”
“Big brother, I was wrong.”
Song Wangyue sat upright and her attitude was very sincere, “I give you my word that I will never dare to bother Young Master Gu to do anything for me again.”
She was so quick to admit her mistake, which made it impossible to say the words of sermon behind Song Si.
“You have to remember what you said.”
Song Wangyue nodded solemnly.
Only then did Song Si pick up his glass of water and drink it, he was vaguely a little worried in his heart.
This is not a good thing, not to mention the fact that they are not engaged, even if they are, they should not be like this.
Realising what he was thinking, Song Siwei frowned.
Gu Yi had just let out a sigh of relief when he looked up, but just in time to see him frowning slightly, so he was frightened and lowered his head again, not daring to go near Song Wan Yue again on the way, until he reached the entrance of the Song family and Song Si got off the carriage, then he sighed with relief.
“Yue’er, you’re back.”
Song Lin came out of the courtyard, the mate had long ago delivered the porcelain vases, he had thought of filling some himself first, but was afraid of filling them incorrectly and helping instead, so he had waited.
When he finished speaking, he saw that Gu Yi was also on the carriage and said enthusiastically, “Young master Gu is also here, just in time, Yue’er’s mint oil is ready, you can bring some back for use.”
Gu Yi was scared by Song Si’s words and had thought of not getting off the carriage, but when Song Lin was so enthusiastic about him, he immediately jumped off the carriage, “Uncle, what peppermint oil?”
“Yue’er made it herself, it can refresh the mind and repel mosquitoes and insects at the same time.”
Song Wan Yue wanted to cover her face, she said it could protect against mosquitoes and insects, but she didn’t say it could repel mosquitoes and exterminate insects.
Gu Yi listened with interest, “Where is it? I’ll take a look.”
Song Lin took him to the altar and proudly lifted the lid for him to see. Gu Yi lowered his head and inhaled a pungent smell so violently that he hurriedly covered his nose and took several steps back.
“Well?”
Song Lin asked as he put the lid back on.
Gu Yi’s eyes were tearing up, but he didn’t dare to say it was bad, so he could only say, against his will, “It’s, it’s, it’s, it’s okay.”
Song Lin didn’t notice his difference and said happily, “It’s not just okay, it’s a good thing that’s hard to find in the sky and hard to find on earth, wait a moment, I’ll fill some for you to take back.”
“No need!”
As soon as Song Lin’s words came out, Gu Yi immediately refused.
Such a “good thing”, whoever wants it, he doesn’t want it!
“Huh?”
Song Lin was stunned for a moment, confirming, “You really don’t want it?”
“Really don’t want it, thank you so much uncle for your kindness.”
“Then take some back to Master Gu and Madam Gu.”
Gu Yi waved his hands eagerly, “No, no, my parents don’t like the smell.”
Song Wangyue watched clearly from the side and lost her smile.
She came forward and reopened the altar, picked up the wooden spoon placed on the side and scooped out a little, covered the lid and beckoned towards Gu Yi.
Gu Yi took two steps back instead, he was now sure that the Song family must have thought he was being too attentive in front of the little girl and had joined forces to fix him.
“I, I, I still have ……”
Song Wangyue used her finger to dab a little on her forehead.
Gu Yi’s eyes widened suddenly, then he empathetically covered his nose and took two more steps back.
Song Wangyue wiped a little more on her temples, and when Song Lin saw that there was more in the wooden spoon, he put his face over, “Daughter, wipe some for dad too.”
At lunchtime, Song Shen had only given him a little bit of it, but the feeling of clarity was something Song Lin had never forgotten.
Song Wangyue gave him some with a light hand.
Song Lin instantly felt refreshed and straightened up, his mouth grinning to the back of his head.
Gu Yi looked amazed and couldn’t help but take a step forward, thinking of the smell that had just hit his nose, and instantly took two steps back.
Song Lin finally noticed his abnormality, “Young Master Gu, you are ……”
“He doesn’t like this smell.” Song Si said from the side.
Gu Yi nodded approvingly, and halfway through the nod, he suddenly thought that Song Wan Yue had made it, what if he admitted that he didn’t like it and the little girl got angry? And hurriedly shook his head remedially, “No, no, I, I, I ……”
“You what?”
“I, I, I ……”
Gu Yi closed his eyes as if he was dying, “I was thinking that it’s not easy for the little girl to make this peppermint oil, don’t waste it on me.”
“Where is it a waste to use it for young master Gu, come up here and I’ll rub some on you.”
Gu Yi looked at Song Si, then at Song Lin, and finally at Song Wan Yue, knowing that he couldn’t hide from it, he came over generously and closed his eyes.
Song Si wiped a little on his temple.
Gu Yi snapped open his eyes and looked at several people in amazement.
“How?”
Song Wangyue asked with a smile.
Gu Yi stretched out his hands and pressed the mouth of the altar, “Two hundred taels of silver, I’ll take this altar!”
