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

Chapter 215 Little Surprise

"I rented the small house I live in now. The houses in that alley were too old, so the government office consulted the neighbors and decided to demolish all the houses and rebuild them.

What a pity, that alley has been there for many years.

When my mother brought me to Lin’an, our first home in Lin’an was in that alley…”

Ye Wanqing listened quietly.

She has lived two lives, but few people have opened their hearts and told her their stories without hesitation.

Liao Fuyu counts as one, and Lu Xinrou counts as another.

When they were young, they all encountered many bad things, grew up stumbling, married their loved ones, and their happy days ended just as they began...

Fu Yu...

I wonder how she is now?
I heard that all the women in the inner prison, regardless of age, were assigned to do a lot of work, such as embroidery, clothing, and shoemaking...

Fu Yu is not good at needlework, so she will suffer a lot in the inner prison.

How is she going to survive?
……

Ye Wanqing collected her thoughts and said, "Xinrong, are you willing to find a job? There is free accommodation and monthly salary."

Lu Xinrou nodded: "I do."

"It's like this..." Ye Wanqing said slowly: "The prince and I will only stay in Lin'an for a while, and then we will travel elsewhere.

We have two houses in Lin'an City.

The house under the name of the prince is looked after by people from the Rong'an Palace, but the house under my name only has a couple hired to sweep the house once a month.

I would never feel safe handing over my house to someone I don't know well.

So, I thought, you need to find a job, and I need to hire someone to look after the house, so why don't you just come and help me?"

Guarding the house?

Is there really such a good job in this world?

Both of them are smart people. When Lu Xinrou heard it, she immediately understood that Ye Wanqing was helping her...

Ye Wanqing's eyes were calm: "It's just that the monthly silver may not be as much as other places give."

Not much monthly salary?

After Lu Xinrou was stunned for a moment, she said firmly: "Princess, I can do it!"

Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Then it's settled. You pack up in the next few days and then move to my house.

If a house has not been occupied for a long time, it will take time to clean it up.

In addition, I want to brew a lot of peach wine and ship it back to Beijing to give to relatives and friends during the New Year. You can live in it and help me take care of it."

Lu Xinrou nodded: "I can make peach wine. When my husband was alive, he loved drinking the wine I made."

"That couldn't be better." Ye Wanqing smiled.

Looking at her bright and gentle smile, Lu Xinrou suddenly felt a lot lighter both physically and mentally, and she also smiled happily.

By the afternoon, Xiao Fengnian's skin color had returned to normal, and after drinking breast milk and taking a nap, he felt much more energetic.

Lu Xinrou said that it was inconvenient to stay in an inn with a child, so she packed up and went home.

Ye Wanqing ordered Yingxiang and Huaiyan to send the person back.

Qianxi asked: "Princess, are we still going to pick peaches and grapes?"

It was almost evening.

In another half an hour, it will be time for dinner.

Ye Wanqing said: "We won't go today. Let's ask someone to tell the owner of the orchard that we will go to pick the fruits tomorrow morning.

Today, buy some wine and sugar first.

We also need to prepare a lot of containers for brewing wine.”

Qianxi patted her body and said: "I will go to buy candy, wine and wine jars. I am good at bargaining."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Okay, the task of buying wine and candy will be handed over to you."

"I promise to do everything right for the county lady!"

With that, the group left the inn.

As dinner time approaches, more and more people appear on the street.

The clouds gradually dispersed, and the sun shone all over the long street. The ripe peaches and grapes on the street gave off a slightly warm and sweet smell after being exposed to the sun. Children grabbed sugar figures and ran around the street laughing.

A woman holding a vegetable basket stopped a little girl from eating a candy bag with big mouthfuls: "Yesterday you were complaining about toothache, and today you are eating sweets without restraint.

If the pain comes back, I won’t be able to help you.”

The little girl's cheeks were puffed up, and she shook the two small buns on her head and acted coquettishly: "Mom, can I have another one?

I haven't eaten anything sweet for half a month, and I haven't even secretly drunk honey water.

I'm so good, don't I deserve a candy bag as a reward?"

The woman was helpless: "Then eat another one. However, you must rinse your mouth well after eating it to avoid toothache."

The child said happily: "Mom is the best!"

The woman smiled indulgently.

The mother and daughter talked warmly and soon walked away.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Ye Wanqing was a little dazed, and then smiled with relief.

Qianxi was puzzled: "Princess, what happened to the mother and daughter?"

Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Nothing, I just vaguely remembered a little girl who also liked to eat candy buns."

Little girl?
Qianxi became more and more confused: "Which little girl? Is she the little princess in the palace?"

"It's not a princess." Ye Wanqing sighed softly, "It's a ten-year-old child, with a plump face and a bit clingy."

Qianxi racked his brains but still couldn't think of such a person.

Ye Wanqing pointed to the street and said, "There's a shop selling wine jars over there, and there's also a shop selling candy next to it, let's go and ask about the price."

Qianxi immediately became excited: "I'll go right away!"

Ye Wanqing was picking up wine jars when someone patted her shoulder.

She turned around and saw Chu Anlan's smiling face as bright as the spring sun: "I couldn't find you when I went home, so I came to walk around the street.

Are you tired after shopping all day?

I have agreed with Aunt Hua that I will take you to her house for dinner tonight, shall we go together?"

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

Chu Anlan held her hand and said mysteriously, "I have a little surprise. I'll tell you after we get on the carriage."

Little surprise?
Ye Wanqing said in a gentle voice: "Okay. It just so happens that I also have something I want to tell the prince."

The carriage moved slowly along the field road.

In the evening, the fields are so quiet that the only sounds are the chirping of insects, the singing of birds and the swaying of rice in the wind. Further away, there is the curling of smoke from cooking and the evening mist rising from the mountains.

The curtains on both sides of the carriage were rolled up, and the wind carrying the fragrance of rice and soil passed through the hall.

Ye Wanqing's voice was as gentle as the evening breeze: "According to the doctor, Xinrong's illness seems to be a bit serious...

My house needs someone to look after it anyway, so it's better to leave it to her than to someone I don't know well.

What do you think, Prince?"

Chu Anlan snorted, "You've done very well. If Madam Ling wasn't a girl and Xiao Fengnian was only a few months old, I would be jealous."

Jealous?

Ye Wanqing looked at him carefully with her eyebrows curved: "So, is the prince jealous?"

"Am I such a petty person?" Chu Anlan glanced at the attendant walking beside the carriage, and quickly came over to kiss Ye Wanqing: "Not jealous, right?"

Ye Wanqing's lips were slightly hot: "Hmm..."

Chu Anlan turned around, lowered his head, and then raised his head. After grumbling a few times, he turned around and kissed Ye Wanqing again: "Do you taste anything else?"

"It's a rose, right?" Ye Wanqing's ears were red. "Didn't the prince go to the government office? Where did he get the rose?"

"It's rose water I bought on the street." Chu Anlan handed over a small porcelain bottle like offering a treasure: "Do you want to taste it? One drop will leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth."

Rose water?
Ye Wanqing took the small porcelain bottle.

The rich rose scent emanates from the bottle.

She poured a drop onto her fingertips and sniffed, "It smells good, and has a calming effect."

Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "I knew you would like it!"
