Chapter 235 Settling in Lin'an
Ye Wanqing looked at Aunt Cai: "Aunt, thank you very much."
Aunt Cai was stunned for a moment before she realized, "Are you talking about breastfeeding?"
Ye Wanqing nodded: "If it weren't for Auntie asking us to do so, we might not be able to find a wet nurse today.
Without breast milk, Xiao Fengnian would have gone hungry."
Aunt Cai wiped her face and said, “Madam, you are too polite. Young Master Lin has done my family a favor, so I will just consider it as repaying the favor.
Before, I would secretly put some vegetables and eggs at Mrs. Ling’s door, like a thief.
I still have a boy who hasn’t married yet, and Madam Ling is a widow, so it would be too easy to cause gossip if I openly help him…”
Aunt Cai paused and said, "I have said too much about the past today. Did I disturb Madam?"
Ye Wanqing looked at her gently: "Aunt is a very good person, I like listening to you talk."
Aunt Cai was embarrassed.
Ye Wanqing took the initiative to ask: "Is there any conflict between Aunt Cai and the Niu family?"
"It can't be called a contradiction, right?" Aunt Cai explained, "Before my eldest daughter-in-law got married, she had already discussed marriage with my family, but Li Cui'e insisted on finding a matchmaker to propose marriage.
She said that she was willing to pay an extra five taels of silver as a betrothal gift so that my eldest daughter-in-law could marry her son Erniu.
Of course the in-laws disagreed and drove the matchmaker away.
Because of this incident, Li Cui'e bore a grudge against both of our families."
Ye Wanqing was surprised: "So that's it."
No wonder Niu was complacent at first, then became sarcastic, and finally started cursing.
It turns out that I was holding a grudge in my heart.
As he was speaking, a voice came from behind him: "Qing'er!"
Ye Wanqing turned her head.
In the long and damp alley, Chu Anlan was seen trotting over with his robe in both hands, looking energetic.
Ye Wanqing narrowed her eyes and said, "Walk slower, don't slip."
Chu Anlan took two steps at a time and walked to her side, saying with a smile: "I tell you, that bitch is almost pissed off to death."
Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "What happened?"
Chu Anlan grinned: "Doesn't she like money and want to buy all kinds of supplements?
I grabbed a coin bag, sat on the wall of her house and threw it to every person who passed by, and gave him a handful of change.
The shrew saw that others received silver, but she only heard a sound, and she was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted, haha..."
Ye Wanqing's lips twitched slightly: "This method... is indeed very infuriating."
Chu Anlanyi frowned and said, "I usually don't argue with women. Who said she is so hateful?
She'd better not mess with me, otherwise, I'll have people throw money bags over her wall every day!"
As soon as the words fell, one of the servants couldn't help laughing.
One of the attendants even made a serious analysis: "The sound of the copper plate should be clearer and more pleasant!"
"The sound of gold and jade is really beautiful." said a servant.
"But that shrew has never seen gold and jade, right? If I knock on the door for her to hear, wouldn't that be giving her a bargain?"
"..."
Chu Anlan was about to agree, but when he saw Ye Wanqing frowning slightly, he immediately rebuked the attendant sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about?
I just said it casually, why are you guys getting more and more excited?
This prince will take revenge on the spot and vent his anger on the spot.
The revenge has been taken, the anger has been vented, the matter is over, there is no need to bother with a peasant woman. "
The servants quickly said "yes".
Aunt Cai looked at him and said, "This young man is not only handsome, but also upright and righteous.
I heard that a prince from the capital has come to Lin'an City. He is incredibly handsome. Is that you?"
"Ah?" Chu Anlan touched his head and pretended to be distressed: "Beautiful? Is this how the people of Lin'an praise me?"
Chu Anlan knew from a young age that he was good-looking.
When the young men from the noble families in the capital praised his beauty, most of their compliments were with ridicule, sarcasm, and sarcasm.
At first, he was often so angry that he cried. Later, Prince Dun told him: "You are born good-looking, and you are the best-looking young prince in the Western Wei Dynasty.
If someone says you are beautiful, you hide and cry. What is the difference between this and the peacock plucking out all its feathers if you praise its beauty?
No one will like a peacock that has its feathers plucked out.
Similarly, no one would like a young master who cries ugly."
Young Chu Anlan wiped away tears and said, "Even if I'm not ugly, they don't like to play with me."
Prince Dun wiped his tears and said, “There are many people in this world who like to play with beautiful people.
If you work hard to live a beautiful and happy life, they will definitely rush to play with you...
Listen to your father, you are so good-looking, you should play with good-looking people, don't bother with those ugly kids..."
Later, he really had more and more playmates.
……
Chu Anlan withdrew his thoughts and his ears turned slightly red.
Suddenly, Ye Wanqing's laughter came from beside me.
The tip of his ears turned red again, and he asked awkwardly, "Qing'er, what are you laughing at again?"
Ye Wanqing looked at him with a smile: "In Lin'an City, there are many people who truly like the prince."
Chu Anlan immediately straightened up: "They like this prince, which means they have good taste!"
He said to Aunt Cai, "You are a good person with vision and a kind heart. I am willing to give you another gift.
If Xiao Fengnian is willing to drink your daughter-in-law's breast milk, I will give your family a house."
Aunt Cai was stunned by the unexpected words: "Wha...what?"
Chu Anlan snorted, "Isn't Sanshui Lane going to be demolished soon? Won't you all have to move out then?
The residences provided by the imperial court were probably not much different from the houses in Sanshui Lane; they were still small and crowded.
Once you have your own house and some spare money, you can start a business and live a prosperous life."
Aunt Cai was so shocked that she was speechless.
Chu Anlan added: "I want to buy some land in Lin'an City and build a farm. If your family doesn't want to do business, it would be nice for you to help me look after the farm."
As he said this, he looked at Ye Wanqing: "Qing'er, what do you think?"
Ye Wanqing's eyes moved slightly.
In the past, the prince spent all his money on eating, drinking and having fun.
Nowadays, money is used to buy houses, land, build farms and hire people.
During these days away from Beijing, he has really grown a lot and is planning for the future...
Ye Wanqing smiled lightly: "Lin'an is a good place, a fertile land with beautiful scenery, and it is not far from Beijing.
If you want to settle down, it is a good choice.”
"Is that so?" Chu Anlan said calmly, "Even if Lin'an cannot build a summer palace, the summer corridor is a foregone conclusion.
Let’s buy more before the prices of houses and land go up. If we don’t want them anymore, we can sell them at a high price!
When I was in the capital, I was indeed no match for those royal family members in terms of studying and martial arts, but in Lin'an... humph, I will do great things quietly, and sooner or later I will surprise them!"
Ye Wanqing smiled: "If you want to do it, just do it. As long as it does not violate the laws of the Western Wei Dynasty and does not violate morality, I will fully support you."
Chu Anlan's eyes sparkled: "Qing'er is the best!"
Aunt Cai coughed lightly and reminded: "We are home..."
There are many branching roads in Sanshui Lane, and the lane is deep and long, so it is easy to get lost if you are not careful.
In Aunt Cai's yard, there is a persimmon tree about six or seven meters high.
It is not yet the season for eating persimmons. The persimmon trees are green and particularly lush, with small green persimmons hidden among the branches and leaves.
Aunt Cai pulled open the wooden bolt on the door and said, "My old man and son have gone to the village to help with farm work, and only the eldest son's wife is at home.
But I am in charge at home.”
As he said that, he opened the door.
