Chapter 102 Let me in, I am your eldest daughter
After Yao Jia came out from Le Wuyou, she went straight back to her room.
Huaichuan was really lying on the bed in a daze, just as Le Jinhuan said.
Yao Jia walked over and helped the man up. Fortunately, they would reach the next pier in more than an hour.
He helped Huaichuan directly to the deck, sat him down next to the guardrail, and sat next to him, letting his head rest on his legs.
Huaichuan panted and held Yaojia's hand in his own.
"Yaoyao, am I useless? I get seasick all the time."
His voice was weak, and coupled with his miserable appearance at the moment, it really made people feel pity for him.
Yao Jia stroked Huaichuan's head with her free hand, as if to comfort a puppy, and said with a smile: "Not so useless. When we killed the pirates yesterday, we were so impressive. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, they fell to the ground in a few hits."
Huaichuan sighed, "But I fainted in front of your friends today, which must have embarrassed you."
"No way! This is quite good for your first time on a boat. You will get used to it after taking a few more trips."
Huaichuan lay quietly, and the stuffiness in his chest indeed became less, and his head was no longer dizzy.
But I still don’t want to get up.
He was greedy for Yao Jia's pity for him and her tenderness at the moment.
The river breeze blew past, ruffling a few strands of hair by Yao Jia's ears.
Huaichuan reached out and gently tucked those naughty strands of hair behind her ears.
This scene happened to be seen by Le Wuyou who came out to look for Yao Jia.
My heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, the pain was so severe that I couldn't breathe, and I unconsciously clenched the banknotes in my hand.
Now, he is probably not even qualified to stand next to her.
He closed his eyes, hiding the endless despair in them.
In an instant, he suddenly realized that his sister was right, he couldn't show too much emotion to Yao Jia.
This would not only harm Yuefu, but would also put Yao Jia in an unjust position.
For the sake of future planning, he shouldn't be so stubborn.
He had to wait until everything calmed down so that he would be qualified to be with her.
But by then, I don’t know if she will still be able to accommodate him in her heart.
"Jia Jia, is Huaichuan okay?"
He walked calmly to Yao Jia's side and sat down one step away from her.
When Huaichuan came over, he had already stood up from Yaojia's legs.
He said to Le Wuyou: "Thank you for your concern, Prince Le. Huaichuan is fine now."
Yao Jia bent her straight legs and glanced at Huaichuan. Seeing that he looked good, she felt relieved.
Le Wuyou handed the banknotes in his hand to Yao Jia, "Jia Jia, I don't have many banknotes on me. I'm afraid you will be wronged along the way."
Yao Jia took it with a smile and put the banknote into her arms without any hesitation.
"I'll return the money to you when I get home."
"You are still so polite."
"That's for sure. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly."
After the ship docked, the carriage arranged by Le Wuyou was already waiting at the pier.
Le Wuyou originally wanted to help Yao Jia get off the boat himself, but after struggling for a long time, he still didn't extend his hand.
Follow her and Huaichuan off the boat.
In front of the carriage, he stared deeply at Yao Jia, and said in a hoarse voice, "Be careful along the way."
If we didn't have to go fight the pirates, I would really like to escort her back personally.
Yao Jia nodded and was helped into the carriage by Huaichuan.
The carriage slowly drove away from the dock.
Le Wuyou stood there, watching the carriage go farther and farther away until it disappeared.
He smiled self-deprecatingly and turned back to the boat.
Since the funds given by Le Wuyou were limited, Yao Jia could not spend money on wine and women along the way and could only concentrate on traveling with Huaichuan.
In just three days, they arrived at Jiangling City, just as expected.
Looking at the familiar deep alleys, green walls and black tiles, Yao Jia was excited all the way and kept telling Huaichuan about the interesting things that happened when she and Shuanghua were in their childhood.
Yao Jia pointed to a small river outside the car and said to Huaichuan, "Huaichuan, after two days of rest, I will teach you how to float on the water. In autumn, we will go to Yanghu Lake to catch crabs. The crabs there are big and fat, and they are delicious when paired with peach wine."
Huaichuan looked at Yaojia who was chattering non-stop, with a doting smile on his face.
"Okay! I'll cook for you some crab feast then, okay?"
Yao Jia nodded repeatedly.
Soon the driver took the two to a magnificent white building.
The two got off the carriage, and Yao Jia couldn't wait to go forward and knock on the door.
Soon the door was opened, and a young man in his twenties looked at Yao Jia and asked, "Who are you looking for, young lady?"
Seeing that he looked kind, Yao Jia smiled and said, "I came from Kyoto to look for Bai Huahua."
The servant looked Yao Jia up and down, tilted his head and said, "Manager Bai is not here. He went to the dock to pick up my eldest daughter."
When Yao Jia heard this, she realized that the young lady Bai Huahua was going to pick up was her, and she immediately smiled at the servant.
"That's great, I'm the girl he wants to take back."
As he said this, he prepared to go in.
The servant hurriedly stopped her, "No, no, no, you said you are my eldest daughter, so you are? You can't go in yet."
"Hey," Yao Jia crossed her arms and looked at the servant standing in front of her, "Why won't you let me in?"
The servant was stunned and puffed out his chest, "I am the gatekeeper of Bai Garden. Not everyone can enter Bai Garden."
Keeping anyone out who is not authorized by the owner is his basic duty as the gatekeeper of Baiyuan.
Seeing that Yao Jiasheng was pretty and charming, and didn't look like a liar, the servant asked, "You said you were my eldest daughter, but I've never seen you. Do you have any proof?"
Yao Jia touched his neck and then remembered that he had already given the small compass, which symbolized his identity, to Ming Jue.
He smiled awkwardly, "Um... I left in a hurry and forgot to bring my voucher."
When the servant heard this, his face immediately darkened, "Without proof, you can't prove that you are my daughter. Go away and have fun."
Yao Jia rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go up and hit him, but was stopped by Huaichuan.
"Didn't he say someone was coming to pick you up? It's getting dark now, so why don't we just wait a while? This boy is just doing his job, so we shouldn't make things difficult for him."
Yao Jia thought about it and it made sense. After all, he was a servant in her family. It was not surprising that he didn’t recognize her after not coming back for five years.
Besides, he was right. Not everyone could enter Bai Garden.
So he stood at the door and waited.
The servant saw the two of them standing there and thought that if Yao Jia was really his eldest daughter, and he himself was of low status, he would have to consider the rules of Baiyuan.
They brought a bench from under the porch and placed it in front of the two of them, asking them to sit down and wait.
Based on the principle of "better to block than to offend", he brought each of them a cup of tea.
"Let's bask in the sun, young lady and young man, drink something to moisten your throat."
Yao Jia took it with a smile, thinking that the boy's style of doing things was a waste of his talent for a gatekeeper.
As she was bored, Yao Jia started talking to the servant.
It is known that this servant's name is Chang Xi, and he came to Baiyuan to work four years ago.
"You guard the door every day, so is your young master at home today?"
"Of course he was at home. It was originally agreed that my young master would go and pick up the young lady, but for some reason, he went out to have a meal with someone at noon, and he must have gotten drunk... But he didn't smell like alcohol... Anyway, he was brought back by Butler Bai..."
Yao Jia thought Shuang Hua was in Xiaoyao Tower, but she didn't expect him to be at home, so she felt a little unhappy.
Knowing that she would come back today, he still went to drink.
He frowned and stopped talking to the servant.
But on second thought, Shuanghua would not be someone who would treat him so badly. The servant said that he did not smell of alcohol and was helped back. Could there be some other hidden story?
Yao Jia thought about this and immediately felt uneasy.
When my father was running his business, he was often plotted against by people with bad intentions during social events.
So when she was still young, I asked the Gu King of Southern Xinjiang for an anti-poison Gu for her.
Maybe Shuanghua was ambushed by someone this time.
