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

Chapter 250: Play enough and study again
Ye Wanqing nodded with a smile.

Beside him, Ye Chenxi was getting anxious: "You all praised Xiao Fengnian for being cute, but how cute is he?"

Lu Xinrou wiped the corners of her eyes and face: "Feng Nian is drinking milk, I will go in and take him out."

"Okay!" Ye Chenxi was happy.

Lu Xinrou walked in, touching her chest.

Soon, she carried Xiao Fengnian out.

Xiao Ke was a little shy, so she just greeted Ye Wanqing at the door and then hid back in her room.

As soon as Xiao Fengnian was placed in the cradle, Ye Chenxi came over and said, "He's so small..."

"Isn't it cute?" Chu Anlan also leaned over.

Xiao Fengnian was not shy and had just eaten and drunk his fill, so when he saw someone approaching him, he started to giggle.

Ye Chenxi looked curious: "He doesn't have any teeth yet!"

Chu Anlan burst out laughing: "If such a small baby grows a full mouth of teeth, wouldn't it become a monster?"

Ye Chenxi actually thought about it seriously: "That's right."

Seeing that the two were talking but ignoring him, Xiao Fengnian in the cradle took the initiative to reach out his hand, babbling and waving his little hands at them.

Ye Chenxi shouted: "Hey, why is he drooling?"

Chu Anlan asked, "Could it be that he smelled the milk and glutinous rice cake on you?"

"Is it?"

Seeing this, Lu Xinrou felt relieved and said to Ye Wanqing solemnly, "Tomorrow, I will bring Fengnian to visit the princess and the prince to perform the godparent ceremony."

Ye Wanqing said softly: "We'll wait for you."

After drinking a cup of tea and teasing Xiao Fengnian for a while, the group got up and left.

Sanshui Lane is much more lively than when we came here.

Farmers gathered in groups and told about the locusts they found in their fields.

Without exception, all of them had sad faces.

If there were only one or two insects, it would be fine, but it seems that locusts are everywhere in every field.

Someone said: "If this continues, the crops in the fields will be eaten up in just six or seven days."

"That's right!" said another voice. "Locusts grow so fast! They popped up from the ground overnight."

"Sorry!"

It would be fine if only one or two people were talking, but when too many people are talking, it becomes a headache for everyone to hear.

Ye Chenting's expression became even uglier.

Seeing this, Ye Wanqing urged, "Let's go faster. The morning market hasn't ended yet. Let's go and see if there are any rare things.

Xiao Fengnian will be visiting tomorrow, so I'd better prepare some small gifts for him in advance."

"Choosing a gift? I'm the best at it." Chu Anlan said, "Leave it to me."

The group couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people gathered outside the alley.

There was still some distance to the alley entrance when I heard the noise outside -

"Almost all the fields have been affected. I haven't heard of any family that has not been affected!"

"It's really weird. These locusts appeared overnight! It's hard not to suspect that someone brought them from somewhere else."

"Didn't they say there were grain dealers wandering around our fields a few days ago? Maybe they weren't grain dealers at all, but came to catch locusts!"

"But what good will this do him?"

"What good can it do? They've destroyed all the food in Lin'an City. Then they can transport the food into Lin'an City and sell it to us at a high price!"

"Oh my God! That's right!"

"..."

The more the farmers spoke, the more excited and angry they became.

Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan looked at each other silently, and no one spoke.

Ye Chenting asked, "Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard anyone from the government office mention it?"

Chu Anlan felt a little guilty and coughed lightly: "Perhaps the county magistrate thinks this matter is not important... Or maybe he has already found a way to deal with it." "How can it be a trivial matter when it comes to grain?" Ye Chenting frowned: "What if the people who come are not grain dealers, but spies from other countries?"

A spy from another country? ?
Chu Anlan took two steps towards Ye Chenting and leaned close to his ear: "I'll tell you the truth.

The grain dealer in the eyes of the people is not a real grain dealer.

That person came to monitor Qing'er and me."

"What?" Ye Chenting was slightly surprised.

Surveillance?

He glanced at Chu Anlan, then at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing nodded slightly.

Chu Anlan added: "The one who was mistaken by the people as a grain dealer was purely a misunderstanding. We took advantage of the situation and deliberately misled people.

That person is probably Lu Jilian's man, but there might be someone else secretly."

Ye Chenting frowned and said nothing.

other people?

Are you referring to the emperor's people?
After Prince Duan's rebellion, all the people involved were put in jail one after another, but inevitably some of them slipped through the net.

Secretly, those who used to be on good terms with Prince Duan, Princess Duan, and Prince Duan's son were all being monitored.

If someone really came to monitor Chu Anlan, it was probably because the Emperor or the Crown Prince was worried that he would act recklessly and cause trouble that would be difficult to deal with...

Ye Chenting restrained his expression and said, "If that's the case, we shouldn't care about this matter anymore."

Chu Anlan is a person who likes to watch the fun and no matter how big the event.

He snorted and said, "Thanks to me for making a big fuss about this matter, the people were able to discover the locusts in the fields in advance.

If I can come up with an effective way to control the locusts and save most of the grain in Lin'an, I can also ask the emperor for a big credit."

"Then go ahead!" Ye Chenxi encouraged, "If you really make a contribution, you might be able to get a good official position in Lin'an!"

Working in Lin'an?
Chu Anlan said: "It's worth considering."

"What is there to consider?" Ye Chenxi said with longing: "If you become an official in Lin'an, I can come to Lin'an often in the future.

Three years later, in the spring examination, I also worked hard to pass it and came to Lin'an.

Every day off, we can go out with my sister to travel and have fun. We never have to be separated!"

Never separate?

Ye Wanqing felt really fascinated when she heard these slightly childish words.

Her parents and second brother will eventually leave the capital for Shu, but Chen Ting will always be with her...

very nice.

Ye Wanqing looked at her brother who was already half a head taller than her and said, "Lin'an is a wealthy place, close to the capital, and official positions will definitely be sought after. If you come to Lin'an to take up a position, you must study hard before the next spring examination."

Ye Chenxi said obediently and seriously: "When I have enough fun, I will study hard when I return to Beijing!"

Had enough fun?

Ye Wanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then you should have fun in Lin'an for the time being."

Ye Chenxi poked his finger: "What about my homework?"

"Homework must be done." Ye Chenting said beside him: "At least, write an essay every three days, and each essay must have 1,000 words.

Otherwise, if you want to leave Beijing with me next time, I won’t be able to help you.”

Ye Chenxi choked up a bit: "Writing a thousand words in three days, isn't that too much, second brother?"

"Not much." Ye Chenting said, "If you don't write it now, you will be too late when I return to Beijing.

If your father or teacher asks you, what should you do?

Ye Chenxi said aggrievedly: "Okay, I'll try my best..."

"Try your best?" Ye Chenting looked at him earnestly.

Ye Chenxi tried to cheer himself up: "I will write well." Then he looked at Chu Anlan: "I will also supervise Anlan's studies."

Chu Anlan was amused: "Ye Chenxi, don't even think about bringing this prince into the trap!

Finish your homework well, otherwise, I won't play with you anymore!"
