Chapter 279 Take me with you
The carriage traveled for half an hour and finally arrived at the riverside.
There are few people on both sides of the river bank. There are only large tracts of farmland as far as the eye can see. Near the water's edge are large tracts of barren tidal flats.
Because it had just rained, the mudflats were wet, and when the sunlight shone on them, they sparkled silver.
The carriage stopped at a high and open flat area on the river bank.
It was the first time for everyone in the group to be in such close contact with the river, and they were all very excited.
The vast river surface is full of blue waves.
Beneath the calm surface of the water lies a raging water as violent as a thousand horses galloping.
Ye Chenxi was stunned: "Sister, Anlan, in a few days, are you going to take a boat down this turbulent river?"
"Yes." Ye Wanqing nodded.
Chu Anlan was very proud: "Are you envious?"
Ye Chenxi gritted his teeth and turned to look at the two of them: "I've made up my mind. Even if my father breaks my legs, even if I have to crawl, I will go traveling with you!"
what?
Ye Chenxi wants to go traveling with them? !
Chu Anlan almost stumbled: "Qing'er and I are newlyweds, and we are going out together. Why are you, as a brother-in-law, joining in the fun?"
"Why can't I go with you?" Ye Chenxi said confidently: "You can bring dozens of attendants, so what's wrong with taking me with you?
I can bear the travel expenses myself.
I promise to try not to disturb you and your sister."
"Do you think I will believe you?" Chu Anlan snorted coldly: "It's good enough that you don't stick to Qing'er all day long."
"Just trust me this once." Ye Chenxi looked at Ye Wanqing and said, "Sister, when I go back, even if I sit in the Imperial Academy, my heart will be with you and An Lan.
How can I learn knowledge when I am like this?
Instead of wasting time sitting in the classroom, it is better to travel with you and Anlan and acquire more knowledge.
Sister, do you think what I said makes sense? "
Ye Wanqing couldn't refute.
She had long known that Ye Chenxi was playful by nature and had poor self-control.
After going out, his mind was distracted and it was difficult for him to concentrate on studying.
But if you bring...
That's not a bad idea.
He is still young. If he travels with her for a year or so, gaining knowledge and broadening his horizons, perhaps he will achieve something different.
After all, in his previous life, he had already left Beijing alone for almost a year at this time.
Ye Wanqing glanced at Chu Anlan, who was pretending to be angry but was actually looking at her secretly.
When Chu Anlan saw her looking at him, he immediately said seriously: "Qing'er, you have to think carefully. Bringing one more person will bring one more trouble."
"Does the prince want to take him with him?" Ye Wanqing asked.
Chu Anlan immediately replied: "I don't really want to bring it."
Don’t you want to?
Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "If the prince doesn't want to take Chen Xi with him, then why not?
Chenxi, you should go back to Beijing to study with your second brother."
Ye Chenxi was furious: "An Lan, how could you do this? Who said that we should be good brothers for life?
Who said that good brothers should go through life and death together and share the joys and sorrows?
It’s a pity that I protected you wholeheartedly before you married my sister, but after you married my sister, you kicked me away!
Too much, you are really too much... "
"Hey?" Chu Anlan laughed: "Ye Chenxi, why can't you be amused at all?
She cries when she doesn't agree with something, like a spoiled little lady."
Ye Chenxi glared at him.
Chu Anlan cleared his throat: "If you want to travel with us, it's not impossible..."
He deliberately dragged out the tone. "And then?" Ye Chenxi asked impatiently.
"Then it is..." Chu Anlan's eyes turned and he smiled brightly: "Unless, you stop getting in the way of me and Qing'er."
Ye Chenxi curled his lips: "Don't worry, I'm not that ignorant."
"You swear." Chu Anlan said.
Ye Chenxi moved his neck: "What's there to swear about? If I say I won't do it, then I won't do it!
How about this, from now on, from 11:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. the next day, I will not come to disturb you."
"The hour of Hai is too late." Chu Anlan said, "You must return to your room or carriage during the hour of Xu.
Moreover, when we are on the road, you are not allowed to get into my and Qing'er's carriage for no reason."
"Ah?" Ye Chenxi was puzzled: "Why?"
"Where do you get so many 'whys' from?" Chu Anlan put his hands on his hips and said, "If you don't want to, go back to Beijing to study."
Ye Chenxi pursed her lips: "Who said I don't want to? I wish no one would bother me so that I can get more sleep."
"Verbal words don't count," Chu Anlan said, "When you get home tonight, you have to sign and pledge your name before it counts."
"That's easy." Ye Chenxi nodded.
Chu Anlan was finally satisfied and looked at Ye Wanqing: "Qing'er, we have brought so many people anyway, one more is not too much.
Why not take your brother-in-law along?
With him, the journey will be more lively.”
Ye Wanqing did not agree immediately, but looked at Ye Chenxi: “This matter does not require the consent of the prince and I.
After you return home in the evening, you need to write a letter back to Beijing to inform your father and mother and obtain their consent. "
Ask for consent from your parents?
Ye Chenxi instantly became depressed, with a sad face: "Then they definitely won't agree..."
"Your feet are on your own body, can't you run?" Chu Anlan was shocked: "You should use courtesy first and then force. If they don't agree, just run away."
"An Lan." Ye Wanqing called out softly, "This is a serious matter, don't add fuel to the fire."
Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "Hehe..."
Ye Chenxi twirled the corner of his clothes: "In short, my father will definitely not agree, and I am not sure I can convince him..."
"At the beginning, my father didn't agree to An Lan taking me on the trip." Ye Wanqing said calmly.
"Then what should I do?" Ye Chenxi was depressed: "I really want to travel with you.
If I don’t go this time, I may never go in my life.”
Ye Wanqing's eyes moved slightly: "Chen Xi..."
Ye Chenxi curled up his feet and hugged his knees with both hands: "I am only sixteen years old, and I should study hard at this age.
But I don’t need to pass the imperial examination.
My mother also told my father that it would be good enough for my second brother to serve as an official in the court. My second brother is smarter than me, and he can rise to higher positions and become a noble or prime minister on his own.
I am not smart and I am lazy, so I will inherit my father's title of Marquis in the future...
The future young marquis may not be as good at studying as others, but he must be better than others in some aspects, right?
My sister can take Anlan to study abroad, broaden her horizons, so why can't she take me with her?"
After saying this, he blinked his pitiful eyes and said, "Doctor Gu, do you think I am right?"
Gu Chen said calmly: "Young Master, what you said makes sense."
"Listen!" Ye Chenxi instantly gained confidence: "Even Doctor Gu thinks I should go out and see the world!"
Gu Chen's lips twitched: "Young Master, perhaps..."
"Maybe, I can study medicine with you!" Ye Chenxi interrupted Gu Chen's words: "Yes, I will tell my father and mother that I want to study medicine with Doctor Gu!
From today on, I am Dr. Gu’s apprentice!
Master, please help me to say a few good words in front of my father and mother!"
