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

Chapter 243 Minister of Industry
"Who are you saying is uneducated or smelly?" Chu Anlan defended him, "Qing'er and I had some important things to do this morning, and Little Pomegranate is sensible, so she didn't go out with us to cause trouble.

After finishing the work, Qing'er and I will go out of the city to pick you and your second uncle. Little Pomegranate is still left at home pitifully. "

Business?

Ye Chenxi was suspicious: "What business can you have?"

Chu Anlan swallowed the cake in his mouth, took the teacup from Ye Wanqing's hand, drank a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Qing'er and I are going to adopt a son.

In other words, you, Ye Chenxi, are going to be an uncle."

"Adopted son?" Ye Chenxi was so shocked that she raised her voice: "Sister, An Lan, are you serious?

You just got married not long ago, why do you want to adopt a son?

Aren’t adopted sons adopted only by those who can’t give birth?
Could it be... Could it be..."

His surprised gaze followed Chu Anlan's face all the way down and stopped at a place hidden by his robe.

Chu Anlan glared at him: "What are you thinking about?"

As he said this, he quickly closed his legs.

Ye Wanqing drank a sip of tea to calm herself down: "Chenxi, the prince and I have decided to adopt Ling Huan's orphan as our adopted son.

With this relationship, I can look after him legitimately."

"Ling Huan?" Ye Chenxi was surprised at first, then he scratched his head and thought: "Who is Ling Huan? Who is his orphan?"

Ye Wanqing's lips twitched slightly: "In March, a murder case occurred in Lin'an, and you were arrested and imprisoned for a few days. Do you remember?"

Ye Chenxi suddenly realized: "It's that Ling Huan!" He was surprised: "Why did you adopt him as your adopted son?"

Ye Wanqing recounted the entire incident.

Chu Anlan said bluntly: "To put it simply, Xiao Fengnian's mother won't live for too long.

Qing'er couldn't bear it, and wanted to save his mother legitimately, so that his mother could stay with him longer. "

Ye Chenxi nodded: "This is a good idea."

"Yeah." Chu Anlan nodded.

Ye Chenxi nibbled a piece of goat milk cake with satisfaction, and asked innocently, "Then, what should we do after Madam Ling dies?
What will you do after Xiao Fengnian loses his mother? "

If Xinrou leaves, what will happen to Xiao Fengnian?

The Ling family was destroyed, and the remaining relatives had already divided up the family property and ran away with the money.

Speaking of relatives and friends, the only one left is Xinrou's uncle in Mingzhou City.

But that uncle may not be reliable.

Let me ask you, would an uncle who you haven't seen for more than ten years really raise a child for a niece who is only related by blood but not by family affection?
The answer is obvious.

and so……

Ye Wanqing said: "My fiefdom is rich and prosperous. Even if the emperor takes it back one day, the food tax accumulated over the years will be enough to support Xiaofeng until she reaches adulthood."

"How can I let you raise him?" Chu Anlan said loudly: "If anyone wants to raise Xiao Fengnian, I should be the one to do it! And Qing'er, you should also be the one to raise me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing said sternly, "It was the decision of the prince and I to adopt Xiao Fengnian. The prince and princess should not be asked to pay for it."

Ye Chenxi chimed in: "Don't worry, An Lan! My sister is still very rich!

Her savings could probably support several of you."

Chu Anlan was amused: "You said it as if I were Qing'er's adopted pretty boy."

Ye Chenxi raised his chin with a proud look on his face: "In this world, if keeping a gigolo is allowed, my sister's house will be crowded with people."

Chu Anlan gritted his teeth: "What do you mean by crowded? It's obvious that there is a river of blood! Whoever dares to snatch people from me, I will kill him without leaving a single piece of armor!

Qing'er, it can only be mine!"

It seemed that the two of them were going further and further in their conversation.

Ye Wanqing sighed softly: "The official from the Ministry of Rites is in the back carriage.

If they say it so loudly, they will file a complaint against us and my father will be violent again."

Just as the words fell, a voice came from outside the car: "The princess is right."

The three people in the carriage were slightly startled. Is there someone outside?

Chu Anlan pulled open the car window curtain and looked at the middle-aged man in brocade clothes outside the car: "Why are you here?"

The official rode on the horse, his posture like a pine tree, enjoying the evening breeze, with a look of contentment on his face.

He bowed to Chu Anlan and said, "Sitting in the car for a long time really made me feel bored and uncomfortable. I saw that the scenery on both sides of the official road was very beautiful, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Judging from his tone, he isn't a difficult person.

Chu Anlan threatened: "If you dare to reveal even a single word of what you just said to me, I will make sure you see it!"

The official smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I am not an official of the Ministry of Rites. Song Liang, the Minister of Works, greets Your Highness."

From the Ministry of Industry?
Although he is over thirty years old, he has a refined appearance and the temperament of a scholar.

Chu Anlan's gaze fell on Song Liang's hands holding the reins, and he saw the calluses on his fingertips.

This callus looks like the result of years of carpentry work.

Unlike the people in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue, who either have stern faces and look sour all day long, or are all fat and chubby...

Chu Anlan was very polite and said, "The peaches in Lin'an are ripe these days, and the crabs and fish are fat. Sir Song, when you have time, you can go out for a walk more often.

By the way, you can fish for crabs on Lin'an Lake, which is very interesting. Mr. Song can also go and experience it."

Song Liang smiled: "Thank you, Prince."

"uh-huh."

Chu Anlan responded casually and lowered the car curtain.

Ye Chenxi patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, it wasn't those stubborn old men from the Ministry of Rites, otherwise, I would be finished."

Ye Wanqing glanced at him and said, "Next time, think twice before you speak or act."

Ye Chenxi nodded rapidly: "Yeah!"

The carriage entered the city briskly as the sun set.

As soon as he entered the city, Ye Chenxi started talking about wanting to drink iced peach juice and iced grape juice.

So, the carriage stopped on the side of the street, and several people got off the carriage together, waiting for Ye Chenting.

Because someone from the court said today, Lin'an County Magistrate Zeng Zhaozhi had personally gone out of the city gate to greet them in a carriage early in the morning, and the group exchanged greetings for a long time outside the city.

At last, the county magistrate said that he had set up a welcoming banquet and invited the dignitaries from the capital to have dinner at Wangjiang Tower.

Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi were also among the invitees.

Chu Anlan refused on the spot.

How can you have an appetite when you're having dinner with a group of men?
What's more, there was also Lu Jilian attending the banquet.

If I go, wouldn't that just be causing trouble for myself?

Ye Chenxi didn't want to go even more.

How could the food at the welcoming banquet compare to the food that his sister personally ordered the chef to prepare for him?

Ye Chenting was a little more reserved: "My mother is worried about my sister, so she asked me to pass on a few words to her, and I dare not delay.

I will hold a banquet to apologize to you all another day."

……

Mo Yan bought some iced peach juice and iced grape juice and walked over carefully.

The ice cubes are shaking in the green bamboo pot with sweet juice, making a crisp and pleasant sound that is extremely refreshing.

Ye Chenxi was impatient. He grabbed a green bamboo jar with one hand, grabbed the straw and took a deep sip. He sighed with satisfaction: "Just this one sip. I've been craving it all the way. Finally, I can drink it."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Don't drink too much even if you like. Save some appetite. There are still many foods you like to eat in the evening."

Ye Chenxi said obediently: "I'll just drink two cans."

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "If you like it, ask them to prepare some every day in the future.

In addition to peach juice and grape juice, there is also melon juice, sugar cane juice, mint honey tea..."

Ye Chenxi drooled upon hearing this.
