Chapter 147: Peaches Turned into Silver Notes

Chu Yanrong said gently: "Okay, as a father, you should respect and support your children's ideas and practices. Although the Western Wei Dynasty emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce, if Chen Xi and An Lan have a mind for making money, why not give it a try? Trading is also a way out."

"Whatever." Ye Hongwei shook his sleeves.

Chu Anlan smiled and said, "Don't be angry, father-in-law. If you don't like me doing business and getting stained with money, then I won't do it. I will just eat, drink and have fun, and wait to inherit my father's title."

Ye Hongwei: "..."

This is going to piss him off to death!
How can there be such an ignorant thing in the world?
Even Chu Yanrong was shocked: "An Lan, you..."

"Father-in-law, Princess, you don't have to worry." Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "Qing'er, marry me, just eat, drink, have fun, and wait to inherit the position of Princess of Dun."

Ye Hongwei couldn't breathe out, his face turned red and purple. "You...you really are..."

"I'm so obedient!" said Chu Anlan.

Ye Hongwei almost fainted.

Ye Wanqing sighed softly: "An Lan, shut up."

Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "Okay."

At this time, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers could be heard from afar on the long street outside the palace.

The guard stood at the door: "It's the top scholar coming out for a parade."

"The number one scholar is parading through the streets!" Ye Chenxi said excitedly, "Let me take a look! I didn't see the last Spring Examination parade."

"What's so good about Lu Jilian?" Chu Anlan said displeased.

"It won't hurt to take a look!" Ye Chenxi came over and pulled him over: "An Lan, go ahead..."

Chu Anlan was dragged away by Ye Chenxi.

Ye Wanqing returned to Jinghong Garden.

On the way back, she called two attendants and said, "The streets are crowded today. Follow the prince and the eldest young master and protect them. Remember, don't let anyone get close to the prince."

The attendant responded and left.

"Wait a moment." Ye Wanqing stopped the man and said, "If there are any suspicious people, don't hurt their lives. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." The attendant replied, "I am good at poison."

poison?
She never expected this.

"Go."

The attendant left.

The location of the Princess's Mansion is considered high in Beijing.

While staying in the palace, you can hear the sound of firecrackers going off from all over the capital.

The capital city today is as lively as during Chinese New Year.

Looking back to the past life, when Lu Jilian rode a horse in the parade, the capital was as lively as it is today, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was packed with people.

Lu Jilian finally got on the path he wanted.

Two months later, she will get her wish and embark on the path she has longed for.

Looking at the blue sky, Ye Wanqing felt cheerful.

……

Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi were gone for most of the day.

There were two people when they left, but when they came back, only Ye Chenxi was alone.

"Where is An Lan?" Ye Wanqing asked him.

Ye Chenxi pursed his lips: "An Lan and I went to see the announcement of the gold medal, and we met Chu Xiaoyan and Liao Fuyu. An Lan and I didn't want to talk to them, so we turned around and left. As a result, Chu Xiaoyan actually had a carriage stop An Lan and me, and in front of many people, he first provoked An Lan and me.

Chu Xiaoyan said that he passed the imperial examination easily without studying, while An Lan did not even qualify for the palace examination. An Lan was so angry that she almost fought with him again. Later, she went back to the palace in anger! The more she thought about it, the angrier she got! Chu Xiaoyan is so annoying! I was blind before and mistook him for a good person! "

Who in the capital didn't know about the previous fight, which led to the breakdown of relations between the Princess's Mansion, Prince Dun's Mansion and Prince Duan's Mansion?
What is being sung today?
Forget it, leave him alone.

It's important to coax people.

Looking at Ye Chenxi's angry face, Ye Wanqing stood up and took out a long wooden box and handed it to him: "This is for you. I sent some crisp peaches. I'll have someone cut peach slices for you?"

"Okay, okay!" Ye Chenxi said, "I like crisp peaches the best!" Ye Wanqing joked, "Didn't you say before in Lin'an that you don't like crisp peaches and like soft peaches the best?"

Ye Chenxi said confidently: "In summer, my favorite is crisp peaches, and in autumn, I like soft peaches the most."

Ye Wanqing couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Chenxi took the wooden box, opened it and took a look: "Silver note!"

"Ten thousand taels." Ye Wanqing said gently, "Spend it sparingly and don't let father know, otherwise it will be confiscated again."

Ye Chenxi nodded vigorously: "I will spend it secretly!"

Ye Wanqing smiled: "That's not necessary. Didn't you say you wanted to open a teahouse, a wine shop, a gambling house, and a singing house with An Lan? If you really want to do it, you need to spend a lot of money. These are part of the capital given to you."

Ye Chenxi's eyes were filled with tears, and she rushed over to hug Ye Wanqing's arm: "Sister, you are so good to me!"

……

By the time Ye Chenxi was done coaxing, it was already almost evening.

Before dinner was ready, Chu Anlan and his group of people came into the Princess's Mansion, panting and carrying boxes.

Also coming along was a small pomegranate.

Ye Hongwei picked up the small pomegranate and held it in his arms, and asked, "What are these?"

Chu Anlan wiped his forehead and smiled brightly: "A gift for my second uncle."

Ye Wanqing glanced down.

In the box, in addition to some calligraphy and painting works by famous artists, there are also some rare ancient books and unique copies.

Chu Anlan explained: "The palace doesn't need these things. I told my father and moved them all here. I think my second uncle will like them."

Ye Hongwei stroked Little Pomegranate's head and snorted coldly, "There is a family dinner at the mansion tonight, you can stay and have one."

Chu Anlan said happily: "Okay!"

At dusk, Ye Chenting led a group of palace servants back to the palace.

The palace servants put down the rewards from the palace, received the reward money, and said a lot of festive words of congratulations before leaving.

After everyone left, Ye Chenting explained: "The emperor gave us a banquet, and my colleagues were happy. They had a few drinks before letting us go. I came back late and kept everyone waiting for a long time."

His face was red and he was obviously drunk.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yanrong ordered someone to serve dinner so that they could finish eating early and go back to rest.

At night, Chu Anlan still stayed in the Princess's Mansion.

After dinner, he took the initiative to say: "My second uncle is drunk and needs someone to take care of him. I will sleep in his yard tonight. If he is not feeling well, I can take care of him."

"Can you take care of people?" Ye Hongwei asked.

Chu Anlan smiled and said, "Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxi hurriedly said, "My cousin will not be with me until tomorrow night. It will be boring for me to sleep alone. Tonight, I want to sleep with you too!"

"Okay!" Chu Anlan smiled: "Sleeping together will be lively."

Chu Yanrong warned: "Don't disturb Chen Ting."

Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi nodded at the same time.

Ye Wanqing said: "I will also accompany my second brother back to Wuyang Garden."

"Don't stay up too late, go back and rest early." Ye Hongwei said with a sullen face.

The four of them left together.

As May approaches, the capital city becomes hotter and hotter, and the night wind gradually loses its coolness.

In the grass under the corridor, crickets and toads were chirping non-stop.

"Why did the toad come here?" Ye Chenxi burped, "I can't sleep at night with such noise."

"Just ask someone to chase it away." Chu Anlan suggested: "Get some sticks and hit the bushes with them, and it will run away by itself. I don't have a single toad there."

Ye Chenxi burped again: "Come to think of it, you haven't let me play in your yard for a long time. You are so mysterious, what are you doing?"
