Chapter 199 Newly Purchased House

Yingxiang and Qianxi walked to the carriage, helped Ye Wanqing roll up the curtains, and looked at the field curiously: "What is the prince doing?"

Ye Wanqing said, "Pick pears."

Chu Anlan, dressed in red, was seen happily running among the surging rice waves. Her high ponytail was entangled with her clothes as she ran, showing off her wildness.

He placed the silver under the tree, and like a monkey, he climbed up the tree, picked a pear, wiped it on his sleeve, took a bite, and waved over here: "Qing'er, this pear is so sweet!"

Ye Wanqing felt amused and helpless.

She said to the attendant beside her, "Send someone to find out whose tree the prince picked the pears from, and send some money to that person. Just tell him that we bought the pears from this tree."

The servant responded, took the silver ingot handed over by Yingxiang, led a horse, jumped on it, and rushed towards the village at the end of the field.

Qianxi was puzzled: "Princess, didn't the prince already take the silver and put it under the tree? Why do you need to take the money?"

Ye Wanqing looked at the fields with a calm gaze: "If you want to hire someone, you must ask for it. If you pick someone's pears, you should always inform the owner.

Ordinary people are not like us. It is very hard to grow crops for a season. Maybe the whole family depends on the profit from selling this pear tree?"

"I understand." Qianxi nodded.

Ying Xiang poured a cup of tea, handed it to Ye Wanqing, and said with a smile: "After leaving the capital, the princess's complexion has improved a lot."

Qianxi agreed: "Yes, the princess's complexion is white and rosy today, and her eyes are more moist and beautiful. This shows that the feng shui in the capital is not good for people."

Ye Wanqing couldn't help laughing: "I look good, isn't it because I had a good rest these days?

I was busy preparing for the wedding before, and after the wedding I was busy with the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion, so I didn't sleep well and my complexion was a little bad.

However, I do feel good after leaving Beijing."

"I am in a good mood too!" Qianxi was particularly excited: "I feel like a bird out of a cage, as if I am about to fly!
If I had not been born a girl, I would have run in the fields and climbed trees like the prince and Mo Yan. "

Listening to the chattering voices in her ears, Ye Wanqing said softly: "Yes, if I hadn't been born a woman..."

She also wanted to enter the court, be a good official when busy, and enjoy the mountains and rivers when free.

Whatever you do, just follow your heart...

Chu Anlan picked a big bag of fruits, but still felt it was not enough. When he heard from the guards that Ye Wanqing had asked someone to find the owner to pay, he picked some more.

He directed two guards to carry back a large box of fresh pears. He himself held a few in his hands and ate them as he walked.

Walking to Ye Wanqing's side, he handed over a pear with a bite taken out of it with a bright smile: "Qing'er, this is for you. I've tasted it, it's very sweet!"

His smile is sweeter than a pear.

Ye Wanqing did not dislike it. Instead, she took the pear with great care and took a bite of the snow-white pear flesh: "Mm, it is very sweet."

Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "The days ahead will be sweeter than this pear."

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "I believe in you, Prince."

Chu Anlan held up a half-bitten pear and laughed loudly, "Let's go to the happy days in the future!"

Chu Anlan distributed pears to everyone, and everyone got several, which helped to cool down and quench thirst.

After eating the pears, they waited for the guards to go back and pay the owner of the pear tree before the group set out again.

The farther he got from the capital, the more Chu Anlan became like a monkey in the mountains. When he was not busy traveling, he was busy having fun everywhere.

When they came across a big tree with twisted branches, they would stop the carriage and climb the tree, pick flowers if they saw them, pick fruits if they saw them, and if there was a bird's nest, they would throw insects and broken rice into it.

When they encountered a river, they set up camp and went down to the river to catch fish, shrimps and crabs.

When I come across mountains, I go pick mushrooms and wild fruits.

The purpose of this trip was to travel around the mountains and rivers under the guise of a study tour, so there was no rush. In short, every time I arrived at a place, I would have fun until I had enough.

On the way, they would inevitably meet some caravans heading to the capital, so Ye Wanqing discussed with Chu Anlan and asked them to bring some fruits, mushrooms and other things that were easy to preserve back to the prince's palace and the princess's palace.

It was an interesting journey.

As a result, it took almost ten days to reach Lin'an, which would have taken only three or four days.

The group managed to enter Lin'an city one day before the Qiqiao Festival.

This time, no one stayed in an inn.

At dusk, the carriage passed through the bustling city of Lin'an, headed towards the prosperous residential area, and stopped in front of a house.

The carriage stopped, and Mo Yan said outside the carriage: "Prince, Princess, we are home."

"Home?" Ye Wanqing looked at Chu Anlan in surprise.

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I wanted to give you a surprise, so I haven't told you yet. I asked someone to buy a large house with three entrances in Lin'an. Don't you like Lin'an? I thought about bringing you here to live a few times every year."

Ye Wanqing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did your Highness forget that I also bought a house here?"

"I haven't forgotten." Chu Anlan lowered his voice and said, "This house is usually used by servants to live in. We can live in your house secretly."

Suddenly, Mo Yan came over and tapped the carriage wall: "Prince, the steward here said that he bought some fresh river fish this morning. How would you and the Crown Princess like to eat it?"

Glancing at Ye Wanqing's red ears, Chu Anlan coughed lightly with a little pride, sat up straight, and lifted the car curtain: "Let the kitchen decide on such trivial matters. Steam, boil, fry, or stew... Whether it's fish chunks, fish fillets, or fish balls."

Mo Yan secretly noted: "I understand."

Chu Anlan waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Next to the carriage, the servants unloaded all the luggage in an orderly manner and carried it into the yard.

Chu Anlan jumped off the carriage, turned around and helped Ye Wanqing: "Qing'er, come here."

Ye Wanqing handed him her hand.

After getting off the carriage, she looked up at the house.

The location of this house is excellent. There is a wide stone road in front of the entrance. The slabs are clean and shiny, and the roadside is planted with unknown flowers and plants.

There are wooden railings blocking the roadside, and below is a very high embankment covered with flowers and plants, followed by a ring road around the lake and an artificial lake.

Looking from afar, the waves of Lin'an Lake are shimmering in the evening, the green mountains in the distance seem to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and the river flowing around the mountain in the east is like a piece of golden silk.

This is what a beautiful place like.

Ye Wanqing said: "In autumn, when the leaves all over the mountains turn yellow and red, the scenery will be even more beautiful."

"If you like, we can spend the autumn here before leaving." Chu Anlan said, "That's perfect. I like it here too."

After autumn?

That would take several months.

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "Let's live here first. When the prince gets tired of it, it won't be too late to set off to the next place."

Chu Anlan was very happy: "I have planned it all out. I will stay in Lin'an City for a while, and then go south when the weather gets cooler.

The south is always warmer than the north in winter.

After the New Year, when the weather gradually warms up, we will go north and find a summer resort in the summer..."

As he spoke, he led Ye Wanqing into the house.

In the courtyard, the servants were busy with their own things. Yingxiang and Qianxi brought two other maids to re-tidy the room and make the bed.
