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

Chapter 276 Pomegranate Sweetness

Ye Wanqing nodded: "I'll take note of it. Thank you, Doctor Gu."

Gu Chen said, "I asked the owner of the library to find some medical books, and I will go to get them later, so I left first.

Before going to bed, I will come back to check the eldest master's pulse."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Gu."

Gu Chen bowed, picked up the medical book, and left Ye Chenxi's room with the medicine box.

Ye Chenxi pursed her lips pitifully: "Sister, can you give me a candy? Honey is fine too..."

Ye Wanqing ignored him and asked, "Why did you lie this morning?"

A trace of guilt flashed in Ye Chenxi's eyes, and he touched his nose: "What..."

"Chen Xi." Ye Wanqing stood beside the bed and looked at him quietly: "Have my second brother and I been too indulgent to you these past few days?"

Ye Wanqing had been raised at the lap of the Empress Dowager since she was very young. After being taught by the Empress Dowager and the ladies-in-waiting for a long time, she had become accustomed to concealing her emotions.

Normally, she is gentle and tolerant, but once she is provoked, she will lose her temper.

Even if she said nothing, just watching quietly would make people feel nervous and uneasy.

Ye Chenxi's face turned pale: "Sister..."

Ye Wanqing was unmoved: "What have you done since you came to Lin'an from the capital?
I drank alone until I was completely drunk, looked down on and disrespected my accompanying doctor, lied to others and myself, and caused myself to suffer from unbearable abdominal pain...

Chen Xi, you were not like this before."

Ye Chenxi's eyes were red.

Ye Wanqing continued: "I know you don't like being lectured, so it's useless for me to say more.

Just think about it yourself, Chenxi, are the things you did yesterday and today correct?"

Ye Chenxi's eyelashes trembled: "Not right... I did it wrong..."

Ye Wanqing pursed her lips.

Ye Chenxi looked up at her and said pitifully: "Sister, don't be angry with me, I really know I was wrong...

I shot myself in the foot and my stomach has been aching for the whole afternoon. It's so uncomfortable.

I learned my lesson and will never drink or eat recklessly again...

Also, I will definitely listen to Dr. Gu. If he tells me not to eat something, I won’t eat it at all.”

As he said this, he raised his finger seriously: "I swear."

"Do you still think that Doctor Gu is taking revenge on you?" Ye Wanqing asked.

"No!" Ye Chenxi shook his head like a rattle: "I am judging others by my own standards.

Gu Chen was actually a very nice person. He rushed back to give me acupuncture, personally boiled medicine for me to drink, and stayed with me the whole afternoon.

The reason why I sang against him was because I was jealous of him..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Wanqing cautiously.

envy?

Ye Wanqing asked: "What are you jealous of?"

Ye Chenxi hugged her knees and grumbled in a wronged tone: "I'm jealous that he can travel with you and An Lan outside Beijing...

You and An Lan treat him almost the same way you treat me...

Obviously, I am your biological elder brother..."

As he said this, he glanced at Ye Wanqing carefully.

It looked just like a weak and innocent puppy.

Ye Wanqing's eyes moved, and she was somewhat helpless: "Is this the reason why you have been so violent these past two days?"

Ye Chenxi pursed his lips.

Ye Wanqing finally sat on the stool beside the bed: "An Lan and I treated you badly. Did you feel wronged?"

"No..." Ye Chenxi poked his finger.

Seeing his awkward look, Ye Wanqing knew that he was still feeling resentful.

She called out to the screen: "Qianxi."

Qianxi came in: "What do you want, Princess?"

Ye Wanqing said, "Go to the kitchen and prepare a pot of honey water for the eldest master. Use the right amount of honey, don't put too much."

Qianxi responded: "I will go now."

"Also," Ye Wanqing added, "Ask the chef to make some softer corn cake and send it here later." Qianxi agreed and left.

Ye Chenxi's eyes lit up: "I knew that my sister loves me the most and doesn't want me to suffer!"

"Are you happy now?" Ye Wanqing asked.

"Happy!" Ye Chenxi rubbed her belly and acted coquettishly: "I've been feeling uncomfortable all day, and I want to eat something sweet.

You don't know how rigid Gu Chen is. He even refused to let me eat a piece of candied fruit, saying that it was full of sugar and too sweet, and the medicine would be difficult to absorb...

Fortunately, you came to rescue me, otherwise, I would only be able to drink plain water and eat plain porridge today...”

Ye Wanqing warned: "Doctor Gu is a good doctor and he does his job conscientiously. He asked this for your own good. After this incident, you should follow the doctor's advice.

If you continue to behave erratically, not listening to me, my second brother, or Doctor Gu, I will have no choice but to have someone send you back to Beijing early.

After all, if you get hurt, An Lan, my second brother and I won’t be able to explain to our father and mother.”

Back to Beijing?

Ye Chenxi immediately admitted her mistake: "Sister, I will listen to you, don't send me back to Beijing!

My father will definitely beat me when I get back!"

Ye Wanqing said calmly: "Let's see how you perform first."

"I will behave well!" Ye Chenxi raised his finger: "I swear, I will never mess around again!

If you, An Lan and my second brother tell me to go east, I will never go west! Even if Gu Chen tells me to drink coptis water, I will drink it obediently! "

Ye Wanqing curved the corners of her lips: "I'll wait and see."

She talked to Ye Chenxi for a while.

Qianxi brought honey water and corn cakes with her maid.

After Ye Chenxi had eaten and drunk his fill, he felt much better and took the initiative to say that he wanted to read some books and finish some of his homework.

Ye Wanqing gave a few instructions before leaving.

When I returned to the yard, Chu Anlan was peeling pomegranates under the eaves for Little Pomegranate to eat.

A man and a fox were muttering there.

Ye Wanqing walked over slowly and asked: "Is the pomegranate sweet?"

Chu Anlan looked up and smiled brightly: "I saved the sweetest one for you and I've peeled it for you!

It’s iced, come and try it! ”

He placed the peeled pomegranate seeds in a white porcelain bowl next to the pomegranate claws, then raised his hand and took out a white jade cup from the ice jar.

In the white jade cup, the pomegranate seeds are as crystal clear as red agate.

Chu Anlan scooped a spoonful with a silver spoon: "Qing'er, open your mouth..."

Ye Wanqing said, "I can do it myself."

"No, I just want to feed you." Chu Anlan held up the spoon: "I've been peeling it for a long time. If you don't appreciate it, then I can only feed it all to Little Pomegranate. Open your mouth, ah..."

Little Pomegranate cooperated by raising its head and calling out to Ye Wanqing in a soft voice.

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "Okay."

Chu Anlan put a whole spoonful of pomegranate into her mouth.

The chilled pomegranate seeds are icy cool, sweet and sour, appetizing and refreshing.

As the sun was setting, the two sat in the pavilion, sharing a pomegranate and appreciating the sunset over the distant mountains.

Chu Anlan asked: "Will my uncle and his family return to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"It should be." Ye Wanqing replied.

Chu Anlan counted on his fingers and said, "If they are not in Lin'an, we will be the only ones left to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In this way, we should set off to the next destination by August 20th at the latest."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Yes."

Chu Anlan asked: "Then let's go directly down the river and go to Yunhe Town first? Take a boat down from the pier."

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "I'll listen to you."

"Drifting along the river by boat..." Chu Anlan began to get excited: "I have never been on a river boat since I was a child.

The river is in its flood season at this time of year, the water is surging, and it must be fun to take a boat ride.

Starting tomorrow, should we train the servants to learn how to swim?"
