Chapter 282 Leeches
Ye Chenxi was delighted and shouted, "It's Chu Shaozhen and the others! Chu Shaozhen and Chu Shengxi are here!"
Chu Anlan sent Mo Yan to take the two people back and find an inn to accommodate Chu Shaozhen and his group first.
And he continued to ride on horseback to look at the land.
Although it is autumn, the banks of the river are still green.
The path along the river is not very wide. It must have been specially built by people who come to the river to play on weekdays.
However, horse racing is just right.
Ye Wanqing rode on the horse, feeling the warm sunlight and cool river breeze, and her mood was as light as her body.
Chu Anlan rode his horse beside her, holding the reins in one hand and a book he had taken from the carriage in the other.
He looked around and read a book: "Qing'er, what is the terrain like here? I think it won't be flooded even if there is a flood."
Ye Wanqing said: "The terrain is indeed good, and the view is also good. It should be nice to build a pavilion or something like that."
Chu Anlan held the book against his forehead and thought: "Building a pavilion is not very practical... I was thinking, can we build a restaurant or teahouse that is open according to the season?"
Open seasonally?
Ye Wanqing asked: "Your Highness, do you mean that we should stop operating during the rainy summer season?"
"Yeah!" Chu Anlan nodded: "After all, if the summer rains cause a sudden rise in water levels, it would not be good if someone died."
"That's true." Ye Wanqing nodded: "But if we open the store according to the season, we need to make a detailed plan."
Make a plan?
Under the sunlight, Chu Anlan's eyes reflected the sunlight and the water, and he looked at her with vigor: "Qing'er, can you help me think about it?
You are so smart, there must be a better way to make money.
I'll pay for it, and you'll plan it. All the money I earn will be given to you, and you can spend it however you want."
Ye Wanqing smiled: "Wouldn't you be at a disadvantage in this case?"
"What's the harm?" Chu Anlan sat up straight: "I am your husband. Isn't it natural for a husband to earn money for his wife to spend?"
"Is it okay if I spend the money on others?" Ye Wanqing asked.
other people?
"Who do you mean by 'other person'?" Chu Anlan asked, "Is it someone I know? A man or a woman?
You're not talking about Xiao Fengnian, are you?
If he is your godson, you can spend as much as you want on him."
"It's not Fengnian." Ye Wanqing said, "It's not just one person, but a group of people."
A group of people?
Chu Anlan became more and more confused as he listened: "Who are they?"
"There is no clue about this matter yet. It's just my temporary idea." Ye Wanqing looked at him: "I will tell you when I decide to do it, okay?"
Chu Anlan smiled: "Okay!"
He slowed down, pointed at the place he was satisfied with, and said to Jingchen who was riding beside him: "There, there, and there... Write them all down, and send someone to buy them tomorrow..."
rear.
Gu Chen seldom rode a horse, and as he was walking on the path along the river, his horse went even slower.
Ye Chenxi controlled the speed of the horse and walked beside him.
The girl in front and her brother-in-law were inseparable and kept talking, leaving no room for anyone else between them.
Gu Chen next to him remained silent, as if he were a mute.
Ye Chenxi was bored and asked Yao Lin, who was leading the horse behind him, to pick up stones and fetch water for him from time to time.
Along the way, water splashed everywhere.
Looking at the high splashes of water, Ye Chenxi amused himself to the point of laughing, but after laughing, he felt bored again.
He muttered quietly: "If I had known earlier, I would have gone back to the city with Mo Yan and played with Chu Shaozhen and the others..."
Whether it's drinking or gambling, it's better than walking in the sun with a silent mute.
Gu Chen glanced at him and asked, "Young Master, do you find it boring?"
Hearing the voice, Ye Chenxi immediately sat up straight: "What do you mean bored? Who is bored?" A wary look appeared on his face.
Gu Chen smiled faintly: "If you find it boring, perhaps I can find something interesting for you to do?"
Interesting thing?
Ye Chenxi instantly became alert: "What interesting things can you find? Don't hurt me."
"You worry too much, young master." Gu Chen stopped smiling and said calmly, "If that's the case, I won't bother you with this."
Gu Chen successfully aroused Ye Chenxi's curiosity.
He endured it and found that he had really overestimated his self-control, curiosity and rebellious psychology.
He asked, "What's interesting?"
Gu Chen smiled faintly again, and combined with the actual situation, he began to slowly talk about medical knowledge: "There is a kind of leech in this river, which contains a certain amount of poison.
However, if someone is accidentally injured by rusty iron, they can use leeches to suck out the poisonous blood and remove the rust poison. "
Ye Chenxi opened his eyes wide in shock: "Leech?"
"Yes." Gu Chen asked, "Do you want me to catch one for you to see?"
“No!!” Ye Chenxi took a breath of cold air: “I don’t want to look at that disgusting thing!
Leeches are ugly, disgusting, and soft. I feel sick if I look at them for even a second!"
Gu Chen was slightly surprised: "Young Master, you reacted so strongly, but have you ever seen leeches before?"
"More than just seeing it?"
When this matter was mentioned, Ye Chenxi became very angry.
He said angrily: “This happened before I was ten years old. I was too stupid at that time and was deceived.
It was a rainy morning. I was not fully asleep and walked into the school in a daze.
I don’t know who put a wooden box on my desk, and then someone said it was sent by someone from another school, saying it was walnut cakes bought from Xingshengzhai…
I didn't think much about it and just wanted to open it and take a look.
However, the box was locked and could not be opened. Fortunately, there was a hole on the top of the box, just big enough for a hand to fit in.
So, I reached out and grabbed…”
"Then what?" Gu Chen asked.
Thinking of the past, Ye Chenxi's face lost all color and his body couldn't help shivering: "They put most of the leeches in the box!
I grabbed a big handful at once, they were wet and soft.
I was so terrified that the leeches that were not thrown away crawled up my hands...
I will remember that touch for the rest of my life, and every time I think of it, I want to chop off my hand.
Later, I fell seriously ill and was bedridden for half a month..."
After saying that, he shuddered again.
Gu Chen frowned: "What happened next?"
“Later…” Ye Chenxi held the reins tightly: “Father and mother were very angry, and father personally found out the culprit.
In front of the Emperor, my father had two large buckets of leeches brought over and called over all the people who had given me the leeches. In front of the Emperor, he asked them to put the leeches in the buckets into a basin and count how many there were.
I heard that some of them cried out of fear, some fainted on the spot, and some went crazy and remained insane for several months. Their fathers were also banished from the capital by the emperor."
Gu Chen said: "It sounds very satisfying."
"Yes, yes!" Ye Chenxi exclaimed, "So, no one in the capital dared to bully me anymore!
You dare to bully the eldest princess's son? You are so tired of living!"
Looking at Ye Chenxi, who was full of joy and childishness, Gu Chen spoke slowly: "A doctor needs to be bold and careful. If you want to learn something, you must start by overcoming your fear. Are you willing?"
Overcome fear?
Ye Chenxi had a bad feeling in his heart: "How to overcome it?"
