Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 103 Measuring Height

As there were a few new people, Ye Chenting sent someone to the houseboat to tell the cook to add another table of food and wine.

When they went out, Chu Anlan's left eyebrow was red, Chu Shaozhen's right eye was red and swollen, and Chu Xiaoyan's lips and cheekbones were bruised and purple.

Everyone passing by would take a second look out of curiosity.

Chu Shaozhen covered his eyes with his hands, shrank his neck and said fiercely: "What are you looking at? If you look at me again, I will turn you into this too."

"If you look again, I'll gouge out your eyes." Yan Shengxi said.

Chu Anlan flexed his wrists and said, "Don't be so fierce. Maybe they have never seen so many good-looking young men walking together, and they are dazzled by their beauty."

"Really?" Chu Shaozhen was suspicious.

Passersby rolled their eyes: "You're sick!"

After saying that, he ran away, not forgetting to look back several times, fearing that the few people would catch up with them.

Ye Chenxi put his hands together into a trumpet shape and placed them next to his mouth: "Run faster!"

Whistles sounded one after another.

The passers-by ran as fast as they could, as if they were being chased by dogs.

A group of teenagers were laughing so hard that they were bent over.

The originally peaceful Lin'an City seemed to have changed in just half a day, with the sun shining brightly and the breeze blowing freely.

The door of the inn.

Looking at the young men laughing and making noise, Ye Chenting was quite helpless: "If I had known they were coming, I should have booked an extra pleasure boat."

Chu Xiaoyan stood beside him: "Why don't I let them play by themselves? If they are here, they might disturb the princess and the prince's wife."

Liao Fuyu also looked at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing wore a veil that covered her from head to ankles: "It's more fun when there are more people out to play. It's okay, let them come. Keep an eye on them to prevent any trouble."

Liao Fuyu agreed: "Qing'er and I think the same thing." After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at Chu Xiaoyan.

Chu Xiaoyan gave her a cold look.

Liao Fuyu pursed her lips and smiled at him.

Chu Xiaoyan's eyes turned even colder, and he looked away: "I will try my best to keep an eye on them in the next two days and prevent them from getting into trouble."

Ye Chenting nodded: "Thank you."

Lakeside.

Near noon, from afar, the lakeside was filled with pleasure boats and a scene of red flowers and green willows.

A group of people boarded the pleasure boat in a lively manner.

Ye Chenting thought that his sister seldom went out, so he booked a three-story houseboat that was big enough to accommodate everyone.

Ye Wanqing and Liao Fuyu were arranged to stay on the third floor of the houseboat, while Chu Anlan, Ye Chenting and Chu Xiaoyan accompanied the others to the first floor.

Laughter could be heard from downstairs from time to time.

Inside the pleasure boat, the food smells delicious. Outside the pleasure boat, the spring scenery is bright and beautiful.

The blue sky, white clouds and the distant mountains like an ink painting are all reflected in the sparkling water. For a moment, it is hard to tell whether the people are walking in the painting or the painting is swimming in the scenery.

Liao Fuyu grabbed the chopsticks and nibbled on her favorite pork elbow, sweeping away the previous depression: "Qing'er, the scenery here is so beautiful! If possible, I really want to live on this pleasure boat forever!"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes: "Do you like it here?"

"I like it!" Liao Fuyu nodded vigorously.

Ye Wanqing's eyes moved slightly, and her voice became particularly gentle: "If you like it, how about I buy this pleasure boat for you? When you have time in the future, you and Prince Duan can stay here for a while."

"Living on a pleasure boat?" Liao Fuyu took a bite of pork elbow meat. "When it rains, the lake will rise. Living on a pleasure boat is dangerous, right?"

Ye Wanqing paused and said, "I didn't think it through. How about this? Take advantage of these few days to see if there is a house you like. If you like one, you can tell me. I will buy you a house and give you a houseboat. You can renovate and decorate the house as you like, plant flowers and trees, and raise fish and small animals. You can rent out the houseboat on weekdays and collect rent, or hire someone to help you take care of it."

Liao Fuyu was stunned: "Qing'er, why are you so nice to me all of a sudden, giving me a house and a pleasure boat?"

Because, since we have met, I hope you will have a better life in the future.

Ye Wanqing's eyes were like the spring river water, calm and gentle: "Lin'an City is beautiful and I want to buy a house here. When we get old, we can live here together and continue to be neighbors." If there is a chance.

The meal took a full hour.

After lunch, Chu Anlan went up to the third floor of the pleasure boat with a cheerful face: "Qing'er, Fu Yu, do you want to go fishing?"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes: "Where are Chu Shaozhen and the others?"

"They are full and are sleeping on the second floor." Chu Anlan replied, "My second uncle has found a new pleasure boat. I will take you fishing."

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "Okay."

Chu Anlan reached out to her.

Ye Wanqing smiled and placed her hand on his palm.

Although it was March, the boy's hands with thin calluses were terribly hot, and his palms seemed to have grown a little with his body, able to cover her hands completely.

Ye Wanqing was helped up and stood steadily. She looked up at Chu Anlan and asked, "Sir, have you measured your height recently?"

"No." Chu Anlan asked: "What's wrong?"

Ye Wanqing raised her hand and gestured: "The prince has grown taller."

"Really?" Chu Anlan suddenly raised his eyebrows, surprised and happy: "I really grew taller?"

Ye Wanqing smiled and nodded.

Liao Fuyu said from the side: "An Lan has grown taller. Last year at Huixian Mountain Palace, the top of Qing'er's head could reach your ears. Today, Qing'er only reaches your chin."

Ye Wanqing raised her sleeves, pointed at Chu Anlan's ears and chin, and said with a smile: "In four months, he has grown one finger taller."

Her fingertips were a little cold from the spring breeze.

Chu Anlan's eyes were bright, and he was both happy and proud: "Next year, I will be a head taller than Qing'er, do you believe it?"

"Believe it." Liao Fuyu replied.

Do you believe it?

Why do we need to include a “吧”?
Chu Anlan was unhappy: "Fu Yu, take a pen and draw two strokes on the boat column. Let's come here again on this day next year to practice."

"Okay." Liao Fuyu stood up and said, "Stand still, I'll go find a brush."

Turning around, I saw Chu Xiaoyan bowing and entering the pleasure boat, and asked calmly: "Have you packed up? It's time to go."

Liao Fuyu said, "I will go find some writing brush and ink to leave two marks on the boat pillar for Anlan and Qing'er. They can come here again on this day next year to measure their heights."

"Measure height?" Chu Xiaoyan's gaze fell on Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan.

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "That's right."

Chu Xiaoyan rarely had a good face: "The pleasure boat is moored on the lake all year round. It is not only susceptible to moisture, but also has to go through wind and rain. The traces of ink and brush will not last for a few days. If you want to leave a mark, you might as well carve two marks with a knife."

"Carving a boat to look for a sword?" Chu Anlan said with a smile.

Chu Xiaoyan finally smiled: "If Lu Jilian were here and heard you abuse allusions, I wonder what he would think."

When Chu Anlan heard Lu Jilian, he snorted coldly: "Let him think whatever he wants. After the examination, I went to give him a thank-you gift, and he said that our teacher-student relationship ended. It was not his wish for him to teach me, and it was not my wish for me to study with him.

No matter how poorly I study, it is none of his business. "

Chu Xiaoyan had always known that he disliked Lu Jilian, so he said no more: "It just so happens that I brought a dagger with me, so I'll carve two marks on you."

"Use the ruler to measure it." Chu Anlan instructed, "Don't make my height too short..."

"rest assured."

Chu Xiaoyan drew out the short sword he carried with him, and with rare patience, he said to Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan: "Princess and Anlan, come closer."

Chu Anlan leaned towards Ye Wanqing: "Hehe..."

Ye Wanqing couldn't help laughing.

Chu Xiaoyan grabbed the hilt of the sword and said with a straight face, "Don't laugh."

The gorgeous sleeves swept across the shoulders of the two men, and the dagger carved two marks, one high and one low, on the ship's pillar.
