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

Chapter 98 Rose Tea
After taking a sip of tea, Ye Wanqing walked to the window to enjoy the view.

Her room was located on the side facing the river and the lake.

Open the window and look out, you can see scattered houses nearby, a little further down the mountain, the sparkling lake, and if you look far away, you can see the green river like a jade belt and the distant mountains.

Qianxi sighed, "The scenery here is so beautiful! It would be nice to live here forever! Enjoy the flowers in March and eat peaches in July."

Ying Xiang arranged the bedding and said, "Since you like this place, why don't you choose a man from Lin'an City as your husband?"

Qianxi blushed: "Stop teasing me! I was born a lady..."

"Death is the young lady's dead ghost, right?" Yingxiang continued.

Qianxi was ashamed and angry: "You obviously know everything, why do you still say that?"

"Your fate is determined by God, not by you." Ying Xiang smiled and covered her lips with her hands, "What if you go downstairs later and meet someone you fall in love with at first sight?"

"So what?" Qianxi said seriously, "I've thought about it. I don't want to get married in this life. I just want to follow the young lady. Serving my husband and my parents-in-law is not as comfortable as serving the young lady. If I serve the young lady, the young lady will protect me, give me monthly wages, and reward me with many good things. People around me will also look up to me because of the young lady. If I get married, it would be fine if my husband is capable and loves me. But if he is an incompetent one, treats me badly, beats and scolds me, and humiliates me, how can I live?"

"What if your husband is rich and powerful, and loves and cares for you?" Yingxiang asked.

Qianxi rolled her eyes: "Do you think a rich and powerful young man would be interested in a maid like me?"

"Maybe he's blind..."

Ye Wanqing lay leisurely by the window, enjoying the scenery and listening to the two maids chatting, which she found quite interesting.

After tidying up the room, Yingxiang went downstairs to ask someone to bring food and hot water.

After traveling for several days, after dinner, Ye Wanqing took a bath, changed her clothes, and carefully washed and dried her long hair before going to bed to rest.

I slept until the afternoon.

At the hour of You, the sun was setting, and Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi came knocking on the door.

Ye Chenxi knocked on the door and said, "Sister, are you awake? My second brother has booked a restaurant. I heard the food is delicious. It's just one block away. If you are awake, come out quickly. Let's go together."

Chu Anlan said, "Please pat her gently. If Qing'er is still asleep, wouldn't you wake her up with such a strong force?"

“Oh oh…” Ye Chenxi stopped filming: “I won’t take any more photos. I’ll just push the door open and go in. An Lan, wait for me here. Don’t listen or look around…”

Before he could finish his words, the door was opened.

Qianxi bowed with a smile: "Miss is still dressing up, come in and have a cup of tea first."

The two of them squeezed in through the door.

Behind a screen, Ye Wanqing was sitting at the dressing table by the window in the inner room, while Yingxiang was tidying up her hair and accessories.

She asked: "Are Fu Yu and Xiao Yan up?"

"No." Ye Chenxi said carelessly: "When I came here just now, I saw that their door was closed and there was no movement at all."

"What do you want?" Chu Anlan asked.

Ye Chenxi was stunned for a moment, and blushed suddenly: "An Lan, what are you talking about?!"

"What's wrong with me?" Chu Anlan grinned, "I didn't say anything, don't get the wrong idea."

Coincidentally, Ye Wanqing finished dressing up and walked out from behind the screen.

To suit the occasion, she wore a light pink dress with her long hair half tied up in a loose bun. She wore a delicate hairpin made of pink pearls on her hairpin, and even her earrings were adorned with small pink pearls.

Chu Anlan's eyes were like fire. After a few scorching glances, he smiled at Yingxiang who was holding the veil and said, "No need to get the veil for Qing'er. It's tiring and troublesome to wear."

Ying Xiang knelt down and said, "I will change into a lighter veil right away."

"You don't need a veil either." Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows. "We're not in Jindu, why are you talking about so many etiquettes? There are many women on the streets of Lin'an who don't wear veils or veils. We finally get to go out and play, let Qing'er relax a little."

Qianxi said: "Sir, those who show their faces on the street are all married ladies, and unmarried ladies all wear veils."

"Does anyone else know that Qing'er didn't marry me?" Chu Anlan asked.

Qianxi was stunned: "I don't know."

"That's it." Chu Anlan held out a hand and said with a smile, "Qing'er, let's go out."

Ye Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then extended her hand to him. The two of them walked downstairs together.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” Ye Chenxi pointed behind him: “An Lan, you only know how to take advantage of my sister.”

At the end of the corridor is Room No. 6.

Only after there was no more noise in the building did Chu Xiaoyan get up and put on his clothes.

He was facing away from the bed, revealing bright red scratches on his back.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the bed curtains and tightly grasped his arm: "Chu Xiaoyan, don't go..."

Chu Xiaoyan turned his head and asked sarcastically: "What? Didn't I satisfy you just now? Even if you are not hungry, you should let me have a meal to replenish my energy, right?"

Liao Fuyu's hands froze for a moment.

Chu Xiaoyan said coldly: "Get dressed and go out."

Ye Chenting was drinking tea downstairs.

At this time, everyone in the inn went out to enjoy the flowers, and there were only a few people sitting in the hall chatting.

Hearing the voices, Ye Chenting looked up.

At first glance, I saw Chu Anlan holding Ye Wanqing's hand, and the two of them went downstairs naturally.

Ye Chenxi followed behind, jumping and skipping.

Ye Chenting raised his teacup: "The scented tea in the inn tastes good. It is said that the roses are planted by the proprietress herself. Would you like a cup?"

Rose?
Ye Wanqing let go of Chu Anlan's hand and sat opposite her second brother: "Let me try it."

Ye Chenting poured her a glass.

The brewed rose tea is light yellowish brown in color. With the addition of sugar, it has a slightly astringent sweetness, rich floral fragrance and unique flavor.

She squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "It tastes good."

Ye Chenting refilled her tea: "If you like, the boss lady and I will buy some back later. I heard that she has planted a large field of flowers."

Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "Okay."

Ye Chenxi sat down next to Ye Chenting, reached out to pick up the teapot, and looked inside curiously: "What does an edible rose look like? I can't see anything here."

"Give it to me." Chu Anlan reached out to take the teapot, grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the table and fished into the teapot, then took out a flower and threw it into Ye Chenxi's teacup.

The roses that were dried and then soaked again bloomed in the tea, white with a hint of pink.

Ye Chenxi stretched his neck: "It's very beautiful."

Chu Anlan's heart moved, and he looked at Ye Wanqing with his bright black eyes, smiling: "Qing'er, do you like roses?"

"It's okay." Ye Wanqing nodded.

Chu Anlan laughed: "Hehe..."

Seeing that he was smiling strangely, Ye Wanqing asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Chu Anlan poured himself a cup of tea and drank it up in one gulp like a cow drinking water: "Well, it tastes really good."

Ye Chenxi took a sip doubtfully, and wrinkled his nose: "It's bitter and astringent, how can it taste good?"

He suspected that there was something wrong with his tongue.

Chu Anlan stood up and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll leave for a while. You wait here for me. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he went to the backyard of the inn.

He walked into the backyard and called out to a sweeping clerk, "Where is your boss's wife?"

The waiter grabbed the broom, his eyes flashed with surprise, then he looked him up and down warily: "Sir, what are you looking for my boss's wife for?"

"It's a good thing after all." Chu Anlan replied.
