Chapter 224 Picking Grapes

Get up early to practice martial arts?

Ye Wanqing was a little surprised.

With the help of Yingxiang and Qianxi, she washed and changed her clothes. She felt that her complexion was not very good, so she put on some powder and applied some lipstick.

After putting on makeup, Chu Anlan just came in holding Little Pomegranate.

He walked in quickly with his crooked high ponytail on his head: "Qing'er, how do you feel today?"

"I feel fine." Ye Wanqing asked, "What did you practice this morning?"

Chu Anlan put the little pomegranate on the ground and patted his head: "I practiced archery at the door."

Archery?

Ye Wanqing asked, "Going to the door to shoot arrows for no reason, won't it scare the neighbors who live nearby?"

After all, the prince's archery skills may not be very good.

"My archery skills are so poor, I must have scared them." Chu Anlan said frankly: "So, after shooting the arrows, I went door to door to apologize.

My neighbors all praised me for my good looks and politeness, and invited me to visit them. "

After saying this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ye Wanqing also laughed.

After she finished laughing, she said, "Let's have breakfast first. After breakfast, let's go pick grapes together."

"Okay!"

……

After breakfast, when the two of them were leaving the yard, Gu Chen came in from the door with the guard who was carrying his medicine box for him.

Chu Anlan glanced at the sun and asked in confusion: "Did you come back after eating at Aunt Hua's house?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "I haven't had breakfast yet."

"The kitchen has left some food for you." Chu Anlan smiled, "Go and eat quickly."

After saying that, he walked out holding Little Pomegranate in one hand and holding Ye Wanqing's hand with the other.

"Princess, Prince..." Gu Chen called out to the two of them.

They both stopped.

Seeing that Gu Chen hesitated to speak, Ye Wanqing asked, "Doctor Gu, is there anything wrong?"

Gu Chen pursed his lips and said, "I just came back from Aunt Hua's house and I met Madam Ling. She was in a very bad condition."

"What's wrong with her?" Chu Anlan asked.

Gu Chen sighed: "She went to buy medicine, but she bought very cheap herbs, which cannot replace the prescriptions I prescribed.

And it may make the condition worse.”

How could this be?

Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan looked at each other.

Both of them saw their frowns in each other's eyes.

Chu Anlan didn't even think about it, and frowned and said, "Mo Yan, take Gu Chen to the warehouse to get the herbs and personally deliver them to Madam Ling. If she refuses, you will come back with your head."

Mo Yan: “…Yes.”

After the two left, Ye Wanqing sighed: "If Master Lin was still alive, Xinrou would be an official's wife now.

The salary may not be much, but they will be a happy family of three."

Chu Anlan touched the little fox in his arms and sighed, "Poor little Fengnian, he lost his father before he was born..."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up and he looked at Ye Wanqing with sparkling eyes: "Qing'er, shall we adopt Xiao Fengnian as our godson?"

"Appreciate Fengnian as your godson?"

Ye Wanqing was stunned.

This was an angle she had never imagined.

In this life, ever since she met little Fengnian, what she had thought from beginning to end was that Fengnian could grow up safely and happily with the company of his biological mother.

As for her, she just needs to help behind the scenes and try not to disturb him.

But the current situation is that if she doesn't take action, Fengnian's biological mother may not be able to stay with him for long...

Ye Wanqing hesitated: "This matter cannot be decided by the prince and me alone. Let's ask Xinrou's opinion first."

"I think so too." Chu Anlan agreed: "When we go to see her together later, we'll ask her if she's willing."

"Okay." Ye Wanqing nodded.

Chu Anlan rubbed Little Pomegranate's furry head and said with a smile: "Let's go pick your favorite grapes!"

The little pomegranate cried out. It was not enough for it to frolic in Chu Anlan's arms, it fluttered and acted coquettishly, asking Ye Wanqing to hold it.

Ye Wanqing's depressed mood was swept away.

The group took a carriage to the vineyard.

The vineyard was six or seven miles away from the city. The carriage drove through the wide street filled with smoke from cooking fires and went out of the city.

The dew had not yet dried, and in the fields along the roadside, there were still many people busy working on the farm.

The heavy wheels rolled over the wet mud road and stopped outside the vineyard at the end of the field.

The so-called vineyard is just a garden surrounded by a fence made of wooden poles and hedges.

The garden is very large, and the racks are full of dew-covered grapes, sparkling in the morning light, looking particularly delicious and tempting.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Little Pomegranate jumped off impatiently and ran happily into the garden.

Chu Anlan lifted the car curtain and said, "Yan Shiliu, don't run too far. Be careful that someone will catch you and stew you!"

The little pomegranate ran back happily and circled around his feet.

Chu Anlan bent down, picked it up, took a look at it, and threw it down again: "It's so dirty, my feet are all covered in mud."

The little pomegranate is chirping.

Ye Wanqing whispered a few words to Feng Chuan, who was unable to dress up, and then walked to Chu Anlan: "Let's go."

Chu Anlan turned his head and asked: "Following?"

He was asking about the man who was following them.

Ye Wanqing nodded: "He probably knew that we were coming here to pick grapes, so he came here in advance.

When he came here just now, the prince should have seen him."

"Really?" Chu Anlan had no impression at all: "It seemed like there was no one on the way here."

"Is there really no one here?" Ye Wanqing raised her eyes.

Chu Anlan frowned.

On the way?

On their way, they met people working in the fields.

Could it be...

He tutted, "You're not an assassin, why are you so conscientious? You even disguised yourself as a farmer just to spy on us.

If I were him, I would have to ask for a huge sum of money."

Ye Wanqing said calmly: "Perhaps, the person behind the scenes gave him a greater benefit?"

Chu Anlan pursed his lips: "That's right."

As the two were talking, the owner of the vineyard opened the locked gate, bent down, cut a few bunches of grapes and brought them over, saying enthusiastically, "Prince, Princess, come and have some grapes."

The little fox called out happily, wishing it could pounce on it and take a bite.

Chu Anlan took the grapes with a smile, picked one and threw it into his mouth: "So sweet!"

The owner of the orchard smiled and said, "Just pick whichever bunches you like. When you have picked enough, bring them out to the door and weigh them, just like yesterday's peaches."

Chu Anlan said: "No problem!"

He picked another grape, peeled it carefully, and passed it to Ye Wanqing's lips: "Qing'er, try it."

Seeing so many people around and him acting as if no one was around, Ye Wanqing felt a little hot on her face, but she still opened her mouth and took the grape into her mouth: "It's sweet."

Chu Anlan's smile widened: "If you like it, we can pick more."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Okay."

Chu Anlan added: "The grapes in this garden are very good. In addition to making wine, why don't we pick some to make candied fruit? After the candied fruit is ready, can we send some back to Beijing?"

Ye Wanqing looked at the vineyard and said, "How about making some raisins? Just in time to send them back to Beijing during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Okay!" Chu Anlan was eager to try.

Ye Wanqing reminded: "To make preserves, you need to pick white grapes, and to make raisins, you need to pick seedless grapes."

Chu Anlan's eyes sparkled as he looked at her with admiration: "Qing'er, you know so much!"

Ye Wanqing said gently: "If the prince is like me, studying from the age of three to now, he must know more than me."

study?

"Hey?" Chu Anlan suddenly looked up at the sky: "The sun looks very bright today, we have to start work early!
The sun is rising, it must be very hot! "

As he spoke, he put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Don't just stand there, take your bamboo baskets and knives and get to work!"

Having said that, he walked away a few steps.
