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

Chapter 23: A Little More Fireworks
I'm happy today, so I climbed a tree and caught a bird.

If I'm in a good mood tomorrow, I'll go fishing.

When he saw delicious fruits, he would pick them and bring them back for her to taste. When he caught a plump pheasant, he would have someone send it to her to nourish her body.

He liked herself, so he was willing to make a beautiful fox fur collar for her.

Chu Anlan treated her warmly, straightforwardly and purely.

These were exactly what she lacked in her previous life.

Ye Wanqing relaxed her brows, revealed a gentle smile, and asked softly, "Did the prince go hunting today?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chenting and Ye Chenxi's eyes turned to her at the same time.

Just now, when my sister heard that the fox was skinned, her face changed instantly. Why did she return to normal as soon as An Lan came in?

The two people were puzzled and looked at each other.

"Yes." Chu Anlan didn't notice anything wrong. He suddenly stretched out a bunch of Oncidium from behind and smiled brightly: "I picked a bunch of flowers on the road. They look pretty. I'll give them to you."

The slender leaves are lightly spread out, the green jade amber-like flower stems hang down lightly, and the flying golden butterfly-like flowers bloom, which are lovely and covered with crystal morning dew.

Ye Wanqing's heart trembled slightly along with the water droplets on the petals.

She took it with both hands, leaned in and sniffed it, her nose filled with a sweet fragrance, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "What a nice smell! Thank you, Prince."

When she smiles, there will be a dimple on her right cheek and the corners of her eyes will bend, as if she is smiling from the bottom of her heart.

Chu Anlan couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Ye Chenxi watched the show from the side.

Ye Chenting coughed.

Chu Anlan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "As long as you like it."

Suddenly I felt a little dry in the mouth, patted my head and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to go back to sleep."

Ye Wanqing nodded slightly: "Sir, take care."

"You should have a good rest." Chu Anlan lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent with his hands and feet together.

“Pfft…” Ye Chenxi couldn’t help laughing and looked at Ye Chenting beside him: “Second brother, did you see that? An Lan can’t even walk anymore, his legs look like they just grew out. Hahaha!”

Ye Chenting poured a bowl of tea and hummed lightly.

It's more than just not being able to walk?
He only needed to take a glance to understand what was going on in Chu Anlan's mind.

What Dad said in the letter was right.

The peony that the family had carefully cared for for fifteen years was in full bloom, but it was set eyes on by a cow that had no sense of romance!
It's not a lack of taste.

After all, I still know how to send flowers.

Ye Chenting drank the tea in the cup and said, "It's getting late, Qing'er, have a good rest. Big brother, you should go back to bed too, you will be busy tomorrow."

"Okay! I'm sleepy too." Ye Chenxi stood up yawning, waved to his sister and left.

After the two left, Ye Wanqing handed the bouquet of Oncidium that Chu Anlan had given to Qianxi and instructed, "Find a clean vase to put it in and place it by the bed."

The next day.

Chu Anlan came to Ye Wanqing's residence early in the morning on the pretext of visiting a patient. As soon as he entered the door, he found the Oncidium placed on the bedside.

Since Ye Wanqing likes them, he would bring different flowers every time he came: roses, crabapples, peonies, osmanthus, hydrangeas, all in bright colors...

Ye Wanqing accepted them all with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

After careful treatment, Ye Wanqing has fully recovered from her illness.

With the help of Chu Anlan, Ye Chenting and the soldiers sent by Xiliu Camp, the camp built a number of temporary sheds for living.

In addition to the sheds, there are many pens for raising pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc., which gradually add a lot of homely atmosphere.

Most of the tasks of resettling the people were done by Ye Chenting himself.

Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi were mainly responsible for leading the people and soldiers to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Originally, the people who had lost their homes had no interest in celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Chu Anlan brought back various prey from the mountains every day to show off to them.

Wild rabbits, pheasants, wild boars...sometimes even head deer can be hunted back.

These noblemen and soldiers from Jindu were like bandits coming down the mountain. They grabbed whatever they saw in the mountains, even robbing bird nests.

The camp's vats and egg baskets were almost full.

The soldiers on guard were a little worried.

Finally, it was the knowledgeable Master Yao who suggested: "Hire some good cooks to pre-cook the meat and then cook it again during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

The elegant scholar in a long robe, who usually held the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, now used a wooden spatula and directed people to cook in the smoke-filled environment.

Others watched in amazement.

It was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival when the Minister of War arrived with 3,000 soldiers from the Xiuli Camp.

He rode on his horse and looked towards the camp from afar.

The firelight was as bright as day. The villagers of Yinxu County, who had just experienced a natural disaster, lined up in an orderly manner with their bowls and chopsticks, waiting for the distribution of food.

There was a smile on her face.

In the open space, some people were playing the erhu, some were playing the pipa, and some were singing operas and telling stories... The whole camp was filled with laughter.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of War was incredulous: "Could it be that we took the wrong road and went to the wrong place?"

After a while, some people came here.

On horseback, Chu Anlan sighed, "You didn't come here because of the smell, did you? The meal was just ready and you just happened to arrive."

"I pay my respects to Prince Dun." The Minister of War bowed and saluted.

Chu Anlan curled his lips and said, "Let your people stay where they are, and send some more people over to get the meat."

The Minister of War had been traveling all the way and was already starving. A look of gratitude immediately appeared on his face: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Chu Anlan rode his horse back, his red robe fluttering, looking heroic.

The sight of it waving in the wind seems to be something I don't know who I'm showing off to.

The next day, more than a dozen carriages drove out of the camp and headed north on the official road.

Ye Chenxi squeezed into Chu Anlan's carriage and asked in confusion: "Didn't we agree to play for a few more days? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Chu Anlan was very proud: "This prince has made great contributions. I will ask the emperor for an imperial decree to grant me a marriage and give Qing'er a grand wedding!"

After a series of heavy rains, the sky finally cleared up completely.

The weather suddenly turned cold.

On the way back to Beijing, the autumn weather was clear and refreshing.

The curtains of the carriage were rolled up, and the scenery on both sides of the official road came into view.

There are endless green mountains and few people. However, towering ancient trees and mountain streams are common, which is a scenery that has never been seen in Jindu.

Yingxiang and Qianxi each took a window seat, and said expectantly, "After a while, when the maple leaves turn red and azaleas bloom all over the mountains, this place will definitely be even more beautiful!"

"Oh, it's beautiful, but it's a pity that we can't see it."

“After going to Jindu once, I realized that although Jindu is prosperous, it is also the most boring.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ye Wanqing was deeply touched.

In the future, if possible, it would seem like it would be nice to leave Jindu and live in the countryside.

After all, the farther away from Jindu you are, the less restricted you will be.

On the night of the Yinxu mountain collapse, Chu Anlan's eyebrow bone was fractured, leaving a wound about half a finger long above his eyebrow.

Fortunately, the wound healed quickly and the scar disappeared in the past few days, leaving only a bright red mark, which still looks a bit scary when viewed up close.

After removing the gauze, he deliberately avoided Ye Wanqing.
