Chapter 964 Spouting Disaster (1)
For some reason, Yan Junyu set out alone this time, without even bringing Guan Yu, his personal attendant. Over the past few days, Young Master Yan, who used to have everything done for him, had managed to become self-sufficient, no longer requiring others to wait on him.
Young Master Yan showed a keen interest in the Mo Family’s orchard, herb fields, rice paddies, and even in Liu Yang Village and Yuhua Mountain. Besides eating and sleeping, he spent his time exploring these places, or seizing the opportunity to sneak into the school to tell the children eerie ghost stories and scare them, which he found far from dull or boring.
That day, after breakfast, Yan Junyu called on Little Flower as usual, asking it to take him on an adventure in the mountains. During this season, the mountains yielded many fine things, from game to unusual wild fruit and rare green plants, all of which could delight him for a good while.
"Young Master, are you heading into the mountains again?" Dani, carrying a bamboo winnowing basket, happened upon Yan Junyu just as he was about to leave. A hint of shyness appeared on her face, and her eyes sparkled more than usual.
Ever since Tie Tou and Liu Qingqing had gotten engaged, the marriage arrangement of Dani, who was not so young anymore, had also become a priority for the Wu family. Wu’s had had three matchmakers propose alliances for Dani, and so it was not proper for her to show her face publicly anymore. After discussing with Mo Yan, she had hired a woman to help her out.
The Wu family had not bought any land, so Dani usually looked after her younger siblings at home, did the chores, and picked up needlework again. She often visited the Mo Family to consult with Lixiu, and lately, she had been coming more frequently, which meant she often encountered Yan Junyu.
"Mm, good morning, Miss Wu," Yan Junyu, not noticing the young woman’s peculiar behavior, greeted her politely because of Mo Yan.
This simple greeting caused faint blush to creep onto Dani’s face, making her usual complexion a few shades more attractive: "There are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains, some of them poisonous. Young Master, please be careful not to get bitten."
