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

Chapter 249 Adopted Son
Ye Chenting was moved when he heard this: "They are two miserable people."

Ye Chenxi's eyes also turned red after hearing this: "I suddenly realized that there are so many people in the world who live a miserable life.

This is the case with Xiao Fengnian and his mother, and also with Aunt Hua and her daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, I was born as a son to my father and mother, and I have been living a life of luxury since I was a child."

"There are many miserable people in this world." Ye Chenting said earnestly: "We are born well, so we should live diligently and cherish the present and the people in front of us."

"Yeah!" Ye Chenxi nodded vigorously.

Ye Chenting said to Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan: "Let's go to Xiao Fengnian's house first."

The group walked slowly into Sanshui Lane.

The long alley is very lively today.

Some people had not even finished their meals, but were standing by the door with their bowls in hand, chatting with passers-by, all about locusts.

Wherever I went, I could hear a lot of sighs.

Ye Wanqing looked at her second brother: "It seems that the locust incident has caused panic in Lin'an."

Ye Chenting sighed: "Yeah..."

Ye Wanqing frowned: "Things are about to change, we can't keep waiting for the government's arrangements.

Solutions are dead, but people are alive.

We need to come up with one or two solutions as soon as possible to gather all the farmers who have land and have them lead the way to the fields to drive away the locusts."

Organize the people to drive away the locusts?
Ye Chenting said: "If the government office doesn't provide any solution, the people can only save themselves."

"But how can we kill most of the locusts in such a big city like Lin'an?" Ye Wanqing asked.

For families with a lot of land, a family of four or five people may be responsible for more than ten acres of land.

Ye Chenting hesitated: "This is indeed a difficult problem..."

In front, Ye Chenxi turned his head and said, "Brother, if you can't control it, then don't worry about it. Anyway, if the locusts really make a big fuss, you won't be the one to be punished."

"It's better to punish those stubborn old men." Chu Anlan tossed the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers he picked from the corner of the wall and said, "It would be best if they were demoted. If they are demoted, they won't write memorials to accuse me all the time."

"I was also reported by them a while ago." Ye Chenxi was a little angry: "I got up late that day, so I rode to the Imperial College. As a result, an official from the Ministry of Rites accused me of riding a horse in the street, disturbing the public security of the capital, and ignoring the lives of the people...

I rode very slowly at the time and did not disturb the people."

"Then were you punished?" Chu Anlan asked.

Ye Chenxi said sadly: "My father was criticized by the emperor in the court, and he felt ashamed, so he punished me with a beating when he came back.

Before leaving Beijing, my butt was still hurting."

Chu Anlan asked: "Can you tolerate this?"

"What else?" Ye Chenxi felt more and more sad the more he thought about it: "Woo..."

My butt seems to be aching again.

Looking at the spoiled brother in front of her, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but think of him in his previous life.

She vaguely remembered that when they saw each other for the last time, Chen Ting looked dusty and haggard, with broad and big hands covered with rough calluses.

When he cried, his tears flowed down his beard.

The middle-aged brother is completely different from the young man in front of him.

……

Soon, everyone arrived outside Xiao Fengnian's yard.

The gate to the courtyard was half-open, and there were voices talking in the house.

I heard someone outside and a head popped out from the door. It was Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke only took a glance and saw that there were a lot of people coming. Before she could even see their faces clearly, she immediately shrank her head back in fright.

Then, Lu Xinrou came out and said happily, "Princess, Prince, please come in."

Having said that, he came out and opened the door.

Ye Wanqing asked with a smile: "Xinrou, how do you feel today?" "A little weak, but much better than yesterday." Lu Xinrou looked at Ye Chenting and Ye Chenxi: "Princess, these two gentlemen... are they your second brother and elder brother?"

Ye Wanqing was surprised: "How did you figure that out?"

Lu Xinrou said seriously, "Because the two gentlemen look very similar to the princess." She bowed and said, "Hello, gentlemen."

Ye Chenting said kindly: "Madam, there is no need to be so polite."

Ye Chenxi also greeted him obediently.

Lu Xinrou invited people into the courtyard.

After the attendants put down the gifts they brought, the maids went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea...

After sitting down, Lu Xinrou sighed: "Princess, every time you come here, you bring so many things. I really don't know how to repay you..."

"If I wanted you to repay me, I wouldn't treat you like this." Ye Wanqing comforted him softly, "It's better for you to take care of your health."

Lu Xinrou seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

At this time, Chu Anlan said: "Xinrou, Qing'er and I came here today to discuss something with you."

Lu Xinrou looked at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing nodded.

Chu Anlan smiled and said, "Xinrou, Qing'er and I have always wanted to adopt Xiao Fengnian as our adopted son. I came here yesterday to discuss this with you.

But unexpectedly, you were not feeling well yesterday and were disturbed again.

Shall we settle this matter today?"

Hearing this, Lu Xinrou was stunned, and then her eyes turned red: "Didn't the words yesterday just an excuse made by the prince to fool that adult?

So... So it's true?"

"Hey?" Chu Anlan was startled: "Don't cry first! Qing'er and I have no intention of snatching the child from you.

If you don’t want to, just pretend I never said that.”

As he said this, he hurriedly stood behind Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing looked at Lu Xinrou: "We were the ones who acted rudely..."

“No, no, the prince misunderstood me.” Lu Xinrou wiped her eyes and said, “I’m just… too happy!
The princess and the prince had never met my mother and I before, but they helped us so much.

We are just ordinary people, mother and son. If the prince and princess return to the capital, we will be unable to repay them in this lifetime...

It’s great that I can win your favor in the Year of the Phoenix!

With this foster relationship, when he grows up, he will be able to better repay the kindness of the princess and the prince!"

"Xinrou, you also misunderstood what the prince and I meant." Ye Wanqing handed over the handkerchief: "Wipe your tears first and listen to me."

Lu Xinrou hesitated for a moment, but still took the handkerchief.

Ye Wanqing glanced at Chu Anlan, then spoke slowly, "The prince and I helped you, and we never thought of asking you to repay us.

I have never mentioned to you that I have always been by the Empress Dowager's lap since I was a child, accompanying her in worshiping Buddha, copying scriptures, and often staying in temples.

The first time I saw Fengnian, I felt that I was destined to be with him.

At that time, I thought that I should just watch him from a distance and try not to disturb the lives of you and your son.

But after yesterday, I thought, instead of letting Fengnian study with someone else in the future, it would be better for me to take care of him personally.

Xinrou, what do you mean?"

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Lu Xinrou immediately understood what she meant.

They were all worried that Lu Jilian would take Xiao Fengnian away...

Lu Xinrou looked down at herself who looked sick, and when she looked up, her eyes were gentle but firm: "It is Fengnian's blessing to be valued by the princess and the prince. I just hope that the princess and the prince don't mind that he is weak and that he is causing trouble for you."

Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan looked at each other.

Chu Anlan said happily: "I don't dislike it! How could I dislike it? Qing'er likes Xiao Fengnian very much!

I hate kids so much, but I think he's cute."
