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

Chapter 252 Big supplement
Hearing that there was food, Ye Chenxi was also particularly excited: "I want to catch locusts too!"

Chu Anlan patted his head and said, "Since you are so enthusiastic, I will reward you by letting you eat a few more later."

"Don't touch my head, they say people who touch their heads won't grow taller!" Ye Chenxi pushed his hand away and said to the outside, "Stop the car!"

The carriage stopped on the field road.

Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi jumped off the carriage one after another, then turned around and helped Ye Wanqing down.

At the edge of the field, farmers are still arguing.

After a night, the locusts grew a little bigger and clung to the rice leaves and stalks, making a rustling sound as they gnawed.

Just listening to it makes one's scalp tingle.

Ye Wanqing lifted the hem of her skirt and took a look. Her hair stood on end and her tone and expression became as gloomy as her face: "We can't delay any longer. We have to get rid of the insects as soon as possible.

If we delay any further, I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep the grain in Lin’an.”

Chu Anlan stood beside her, bent down and picked up a locust from the rice stalks: "Hiss... Why does this thing look so disgusting?"

"Ah!" Ye Chenxi cried out in pain, "Why are his front and back paws all covered with thorns? They're hard and prickly!"

刺？
Still hard?

Chu Anlan suddenly had an idea, and his eyes sparkled with light: "I've got an idea!"

"What?" Ye Chenxi asked.

Ye Wanqing also looked at him.

Chu Anlan grabbed the locusts and said, "After all, the people who care about locusts the most are farmers, except for officials who are afraid of losing their official hats.

Most of the people in Lin'an City are businessmen.

If you want to mobilize the entire city to kill the locusts, there is only one reason left: catching these locusts will benefit everyone! "

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Indeed."

Ye Chenxi was scratching his head as he listened: "Why do I understand less and less the more I listen?"

Chu Anlan coughed lightly and leaned close to his ear: "I plan to have someone spread rumors in the city.

They say that eating locusts can be very nutritious..."

After Ye Chenxi was stunned for a moment, his whole body turned red from his face to the base of his neck, and he jumped a long way: "Ah ah... I'm not clean anymore!"

As he said this, he wiped his ears desperately.

"Hahaha……"

Chu Anlan laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward.

Ye Wanqing's expression was calm, but her slightly red earlobes betrayed her.

She said in a gentle voice: "Although the prince's method is a bit absurd, it is not impossible."

Chu Anlan wiped the corners of his eyes that were red from laughing: "If you really think it's feasible, I will send someone to do it immediately."

Before Ye Wanqing could answer, Ye Chenxi covered his red ear and asked in shock, "Are you really going?"

"What else?" Chu Anlan asked, "Do you have a better idea?"

“I…I…” Ye Chenxi murmured, “What can I do? This is the first time I’ve seen locusts in my life…”

"That's it." Chu Anlan held the locust and said, "Let's try it first to see if it works."

Ye Chenxi was stunned: "Then... okay."

Chu Anlan smiled, turned around and asked Ye Wanqing: "Qing'er, I need to borrow someone from you."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Okay."

Chu Anlan threw away the locust in his hand and wiped his hands on the grass by the roadside: "Jingchen."

Jing Chen, who was dressed as a guard, responded: "Please give your orders, my lord."

Chu Anlan said: “Take the two of you with you and rush back to the city as soon as possible, and find a stranger and pretend to be a miracle doctor.

Get a few more people to cooperate with the miracle doctor’s performance.

You can soak locusts in wine, make pills, cook them into food, or eat them directly...

In short, it must be made to look similar.”

Jingchen agreed and looked at Ye Wanqing: "Princess, I am afraid that I can't do it alone. Can you let Changying come with me?"

"can."

Jingchen took the purse and quickly disappeared into the fields.

Chu Anlan ordered the remaining servants: "Find a few clean boxes and catch more locusts, especially the bigger ones that don't look so disgusting."

"Yes."

The servants received the instructions and gathered around the carriage.

Ye Wanqing asked Yingtao to clear out a few empty food boxes and distribute them. Soon, the group scattered across the fields.

Chu Anlan bent over and worked in the field for a long time, holding up a bunch of wild flowers: "Qing'er, look!"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes.

Chu Anlan held up a small bouquet of flowers and came over happily: "This is for you!"

Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "The flowers are very beautiful."

Chu Anlan heard this and snorted, "The flowers are beautiful, so am I not beautiful?"

Why are you jealous of flowers?

The smile on Ye Wanqing's lips widened: "The prince is more handsome."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Chenxi's voice came from the side: "Do you have to be so clingy?

If I hear one more sentence, I’m afraid I’ll be terribly embarrassed.”

"Get out of the way!" Chu Anlan pretended to kick him, "Go catch your locusts! Catch as many as you can. You can eat whatever you catch."

"Ah?" Ye Chenxi lowered his head to check his box.

In the box, locusts were crawling around, making his scalp tingle.

The more I watch, the more disgusting I feel.

He shuddered: "Then I won't catch it!"

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "Think carefully, locusts are good things. If you eat more, you might even grow taller."

"Is this true?" Ye Chenxi was surprised.

Chu Anlan gently shook Ye Wanqing's arm: "Qing'er, tell him whether it's true or not."

Ye Wanqing: “…I don’t know.”

"Oh!" Chu Anlan hugged her arm and shook it: "Qing'er, please cooperate with me a little!"

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Okay."

Chu Anlan immediately looked at Ye Chenxi: "Did you hear what Qing'er said? Eating locusts can help you grow taller.

Eat more and grow taller."

Ye Chenxi stared: "When did my sister say this?"

Ye Wanqing: "I..."

Suddenly, Chu Anlan covered her mouth with the back of her hand and said to Ye Chenxi with a smile: "Qing'er and I are husband and wife. My words are her words."

Ye Chenxi glared at him: "Humph!"

Chu Anlan smiled more brightly: "Hehe..."

Ye Wanqing pushed his hand away: "Just now, did you catch the locusts with this hand?"

"I've never touched a locust with the back of my hand." Chu Anlan explained.

Ye Wanqing pursed her lips and said, "But, the prince's hands smell like bugs."

"Is there?" Chu Anlan was puzzled. He put his hand in front of his nose and sniffed: "It really is..."

After saying this, he wrinkled his nose in disgust.

Ye Wanqing smiled lightly: "Okay, let's catch locusts. Don't we have to go to Aunt Hua's house later?"

"Uh-huh!"

Chu Anlan squatted by the field and washed his hands in the ditch. Then he stood up and urged his attendants: "Catch it quickly, we have something else to do later!"

Upon hearing this, the servants worked even harder to catch the prey.

Seeing that they had not left yet, the farmers in the fields couldn't help but look over here curiously.

A young farmer came over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Anlan held a locust and said, "Catch this."

"Why catch locusts?" the farmer wondered.

Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "Of course I catch them and eat them!"

"Eat?" The farmer's dark face showed a look of astonishment: "What can locusts eat?"

Chu Anlan looked around, grabbed the locust and walked to the farmer, lowering his voice: "I heard from a miracle doctor that if you eat locusts, you will become very powerful in that aspect."

"What?" The farmer became more confused.

Chu Anlan reached out and patted the farmer on the shoulder, and said mysteriously: "Great tonic, you haven't heard of it?

It's correct that you haven't heard of it. I only told the miracle doctor what I had done for him.

I haven’t told anyone about this.”
