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

Chapter 245 Don’t Go to Shuzhou

Ye Chenxi pursed his lips and muttered: "I finally get to go out and play, why do I still have to read books?"

Chu Anlan glanced at Ye Wanqing secretly and said seriously: "As the saying goes: Live and learn...

If you don’t work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old!
Qing'er asked us to read books for our own good, so we should know what is good for us."

Ye Chenxi was stunned.

His mouth trembled: "I didn't say I don't want to read books, so how can I be considered an ungrateful person? An Lan, you are always good at turning the tables..."

"How could I?" Chu Anlan said confidently, with his hands on his hips: "Just wait, I will read the Fengwuzhi thoroughly!"

"I don't believe it." Ye Chenxi pointed and said, "You can't even finish reading a complete storybook."

"You are slandering me!" Chu Anlan corrected him, "The reason why I always read half of the storybooks is simply because those storybooks are too boring!
For example, in order to marry the most beautiful woman in the world, the emperor deposed the empress, demoted the ministers who opposed him, built a palace, and held a grand wedding banquet...

As a result, when the veil was lifted at night, the most beautiful woman in the world turned out to be a big black monkey!
God damn, so crazy, so shameless..."

After he finished scolding, Ye Chenxi asked excitedly: "What's the name of this book? Do you have any more?"

Just hearing you say that makes me feel very interesting! "

Chu Anlan spread his hands: "I don't know where I threw it."

"Do you remember the name of the storybook?" Ye Chenxi said, "I'll buy it as soon as I get back to the capital."

"Can not remember."

"How come you don't know anything?"

"..."

The two of them came in noisily.

Ye Wanqing and Ye Chenting fell behind by a few steps.

Under the dim light, Ye Chenting looked at his sister and said, "Before leaving Beijing, the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace.

She asked me to tell you something. It's not too late to regret it now."

Repent?

You mean the marriage?
Ye Wanqing frowned: "Is the palace going to arrange a marriage for Lu Jilian?"

Ye Chenting nodded: "The emperor and the prince both value him, so his marriage cannot be hasty."

Ye Wanqing was silent.

Lu Jilian is the prince's man, so his future wife can naturally only be chosen from the emperor or the prince's camp.

He could disobey Marquis Dingyuan and the elders of the Lu family, but he could not truly disobey the emperor, the crown prince, or the queen mother...

Ye Wanqing collected her thoughts and said, "Brother, please tell the Queen Mother that I have been very happy every day since I got married to the Crown Prince.

From the moment I decided on him, I never regretted it."

Ye Chenting softened his brows and said, "The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and most of her understanding of An Lan comes from rumors and the retelling of people around her.

She asked this because she was worried about you and felt sorry for you. Although I am here to bring her a message, I have supported you and him since you chose to marry An Lan."

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes: "I understand."

Ye Chenting smiled and said, "Are you curious about Ji Lian's arranged marriage partner?"

Who is Lu Jilian's arranged marriage partner?

Ye Wanqing thought about it and answered her second brother seriously: "It would be a lie to say that I'm not curious, but I think it's better for me not to know.

Actually, I have nothing to do with him.

If I knew too much, he would misunderstand that I paid too much attention to him, and he would become even more obsessed with me. "

Ye Chenting nodded: "That's fine."

After all, who Lu Jilian marries has nothing to do with the Princess's Mansion or the Prince Dun's Mansion.

Why should we spend time and energy paying attention to irrelevant people?

"Speaking of which..." Ye Wanqing looked at her second brother: "How do you get along with Sister Cao?"

When he first heard the word "Cao", Ye Chenting, who had always been mature and steady, almost staggered and his body swayed.

Ye Wanqing stepped forward to help him, and suppressed a smile: "Second brother, be careful."

Ye Chenting blushed: "I was distracted and lost my composure..."

"Is your foot okay?" Ye Wanqing lowered her head to look. "People here like to use pebbles from the riverside to pave the ground when they build houses. It's beautiful, but it's not easy to walk on."

"I'm fine." Ye Chenting straightened his clothes and said, "I heard that walking barefoot on pebbles can massage acupuncture points, which is very beneficial to the body."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "I've read it in a book."

Ye Chenting stopped and looked at his sister in front of him carefully in the dim light.

Her eyebrows are like spring willows, her eyes are like autumn water, and she is gentle and dignified with a bright and lively aura.

In the past, she always had the shadow of her mother and the empress dowager around her, always graceful, quiet, polite and chaste.

Now, she has shed that shadow and become more vivid...

He likes his current sister better.

Ye Chenting said in a gentle voice: “When I left Beijing to travel, you were only thirteen years old and often accompanied the Queen Mother in the palace.

Not long after you returned from leaving Beijing two years ago, you got married.

If you think about it carefully, you and I, as brothers and sisters, have never really sat together to drink tea and chat. "

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "If you are free, you can come to me anytime. I will prepare your favorite tea and cakes and wait for your arrival."

As he said this, he bowed properly.

After he finished walking, he suddenly chuckled, not knowing what he was thinking about.

“You…” Ye Chenting sighed softly and laughed, “After getting married, people have become much more lively.

The longer I spend with An Lan, the more I resemble him."

Ye Wanqing smiled and joked: "Sister Cao is gentle and lovely. Just a few words from her will make her face red as if she were stained with rouge.

After spending more time with her, will my second brother become like her?"

Ye Chenting's eyes moved, and his neck and ears gradually turned red: "Why are you talking about me suddenly..."

Ye Wanqing replied: "Second brother teased me first."

"Okay..." Ye Chenting put his hands down: "Let's not talk about this topic for now, let's change the topic."

Ye Wanqing smiled and agreed.

The two walked in slowly.

The night wind blew, the lanterns under the eaves swayed, and the light and shadow flickered.

Ye Chenting walked on the uneven cobblestones and said slowly: "Shu Wan has no brothers, so his father adopted a son from a side branch.

That child, after years of education, is still not mature enough.

Shu Wan once said that she was worried that after she got married, her parents who were far away in Shuzhou would be left unattended...

So I thought, after I marry her, I will stay in the capital for a few years, and when Chenxi has established a family and a career, I will ask the emperor and the prince to transfer me to Shuzhou."

Ye Wanqing was stunned.

Second brother...are you still going to Shuzhou?
In his previous life, he felt sorry for his sister-in-law's homesickness and family pain, so after working in Beijing for a few years, he was transferred to several places and finally applied to go to Shuzhou.

From then on, except when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, the brother and sister never met each other again.

Soon after, the father and mother were also taken over.

And Chen Xi has been traveling around the world during those years.

Only she was left in the capital.

She was like a bird with broken wings. She was unable to fly out of the high walls all her life and was unable to see her parents and second brother again before her death.

Only Chen Xi came to see her before she died.

Even though all her relatives were there, she was still all alone.

……

Ye Wanqing knew clearly in her heart that everyone had his or her own path to follow, but she would still feel sad when the time came for them to go their separate ways.

She looked at Ye Chenting: "Second brother...can we not go to Shuzhou?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Chenting turned his head to look at her: "Shuzhou is a fertile land. If I were to take up a post there, I could ensure that the western part of the Western Wei Dynasty would have 10,000 boxes of grain stored in dry warehouses every year, and ensure that the people there would not starve even in years of famine.

In this way, the cultivation of the Emperor and my parents will not be in vain."
