Chapter 218 Chunyu, You Are So Nice

When she met Chunyu at noon, Ye Jiayao asked him quietly, "How did you feel after taking a tour of the vinegar factory?"

Xia Chunyu calmly replied with four words: "The whole body is relaxed and comfortable."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing. It must be the smell! She put her nose close to it and smelled it. It smelled sour.

"What about you? Have you recognized all these relatives?" Xia Chunyu asked in a low voice when he saw everyone in the room.

Ye Jiayao blinked her big eyes mischievously: "It's almost right. Do you want me to introduce her to you?"

She thought Xia Chunyu was going to raise the white flag and surrender, which required a lot of patience, but he nodded: "Okay, otherwise I won't know who is who when they greet me later."

So Ye Jiayao introduced them one by one in a low voice.

"The one on my grandmother's left is my second aunt, the one on her right is my third aunt, and next to my second aunt is her eldest son, second aunt, third daughter-in-law... and over there is the second son of my cousin's eldest son."

Ye Jiayao herself felt that it was too much, and she couldn't even remember some of the seniority. She wondered if he fainted after listening to it.

It took a while to introduce all the relatives in the room.

Then an astonishing scene happened. When the show was over, Ye Jiayao actually saw Xia Chunyu chatting happily with several men from her uncles and aunts' families, and the generations they addressed were not mixed up at all.

Ye Jiayao was a little shocked. This guy had such a good memory?

The time we spend together is always beautiful and short, and in the blink of an eye it was time to say goodbye. Although she was busy with socializing in the past two days, she was so happy in her heart. She was moved by everyone's enthusiasm, so when they said goodbye, Ye Jiayao cried loudly and was still crying when she got on the boat.

Xia Chunyu squeezed her hand with amusement: "You are so reluctant to leave. I will come back with you every year in the future!"

"You're kidding?" Ye Jiayao asked with a sniffle.

He doesn't have much vacation time in a year, which is better when the court is stable. If there is any trouble, he won't even be able to keep the little vacation time. This year is their first year after marriage, and he has spent almost all of his vacation time with her. His family doesn't say anything, but if this happens every year, Youshi will definitely be unhappy.

Xia Chunyu raised his lips, his eyes gentle: "When have I ever lied to you? Besides, I also like the Fang family, they are warm, generous, simple and kind."

Ye Jiayao stopped crying and looked at him with a pair of misty eyes. The doting meaning in his deep black eyes was so obvious. Ye Jiayao hugged his waist, put her face on his chest, listened to his steady and strong heartbeat, and whispered softly with full of happiness: "Chunyu, you are so good!"

It's really good. Because he likes her, he can tolerate the people of the Ye family. Because he likes her, he likes the people she likes. Because he likes her, he can do so many things for her. It is her luck to meet such a person.

Xia Chunyu's face was filled with a happy smile, and he hugged her tightly.

When I got back to Jinling, it was already the 13th day of the first lunar month. According to the custom in the Jiangnan area of ​​Huaisong, the lights were lit from the 13th day. Every household had to hang red lanterns. There were also lantern festivals, lion dances, and dragon lanterns. The excitement lasted until the 18th day. Only then did the New Year end. People who needed to go out went out, people who needed to go to work went to work, and people who needed to go to school went to school. Another busy year began.

Zhao Qixuan asked Xiao Shao to pass on a message, saying that the sixteen families were going to get together. Ye Jiayao knew that they were going on a long journey.

The gathering place was still Tianshangju. Throughout the first month of the lunar year, Tianshangju's business was slow, but compared with other restaurants, Tianshangju was still pretty good.

The only people invited were Ye Jiayao and her husband, Helian Jing, Qixuan and Susu, a total of five people.

After three rounds of drinks, Xia Chunyu asked, "How long will it take this time?"

Su Su was still very frugal with words and seldom spoke unless she needed him to make a decision.

Zhao Qixuan said, "It will take at least half a year! It depends on whether things over there go smoothly. This time we are going to seize the initiative."

Ye Jiayao asked worriedly, "Is the court sure to open border trade? What if they change their mind again?"

Zhao Qixuan's business spread all over Jiangnan, and a stable network system had been formed. It could be said that he could not count the money sitting at home, but now he had to start over in another place, and give up his status as a prince, all for love. Ye Jiayao sighed, but more of a blessing.

Xiao Jing said, "It shouldn't happen. I heard that the King of Nanyue will send an envoy to Nanjing in March. By then, it will be basically finalized."

Xia Chunyu also nodded: "The political situation in South Vietnam is unstable. This time, we came here to form an alliance with Huai Song. Opening border trade is actually a mutually beneficial thing, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Hey, I'm wondering if you two should also join in the fun. I, Zhao Qixuan, have a first-rate business acumen and have never done a business that lost money." Zhao Qixuan looked at the two of them with a smile.

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "I put all my spare money into it."

Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "I just invested in a mine, and I haven't paid you back the money I borrowed from you! Forget it, I can only watch you get rich. When you settle down there, Yaoyao and I will go over to play."

Xiao Jing said hurriedly: "Take me with you if you go."

Xia Chunyu laughed and said nothing. He didn't want to bring his love rival with him. They were just a couple traveling together, so what was the point of bringing a love rival with them?

Zhao Qixuan's eyes lit up: "A mine! This is a treasure trove! Brother Chunyu, this is wrong. You are making a fortune on your own without making any noise!"

Ye Jiayao sneered and said, "I don't know whether I can make money or not! I just took a small stake."

Su Yi opened his mouth and said slowly: "I heard that a large mine was discovered in Shanxi last year. The mining rights alone were sold for a sky-high price of three million, and one million will be paid every year in the future. I guess you are talking about this mine!"

Xia Chunyu was surprised, then smiled and said, "Su Yi, you are well-informed!"

Su Yi smiled elegantly: "Just bored!" People who were supposed to be studying have given up studying and are now delving into business. However, people with smart brains can do everything better than others.

Everyone chatted about some family matters. Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi had to go back to prepare. Shi Ba left, and Xiao Jing had to go back to the Ministry of War to deal with official documents. Simon's war didn't care whether it was the New Year or not, or whether you needed a vacation. War reports were delivered almost every day, sometimes good news, sometimes bad news.

Xia Chunyu saw that it was still early, so he took Ye Jiayao to enjoy the lanterns.

"It turns out that Xiaojing is the most idle one among us. Helian Xuan was always troubled by this matter at the beginning, but now, he has become a busy man." Xia Chunyu sneered at himself.

Ye Jiayao sighed: "Xiao Jing has indeed become much more mature and stable."

Xia Chunyu felt that this topic was not a good one, so he quickly changed his focus: "Yaoyao, there is a lantern riddle game over there, should we try it?"

Guessing riddles, Ye Jiayao is good at this!
The two of them walked around the lantern festival, and Ye Jiayao had a stack of puzzles in her hand.

Xia Chunyu was stunned: "Are you sure you can guess everything?"

Ye Jiayao proudly raised the puzzle in her hand: "What's so great about this? Last time at the Mid-Autumn Festival, I guessed more than this."

Xia Chunyu thought about it. Mid-Autumn Festival? Didn't he use Liu Yiyi to piss her off that day? She left angrily, and then went to the lantern festival to guess lantern riddles?
He thought she would run away and cry! It felt like punching cotton, so powerless! This woman with strong nerves.

"You were so excited that day?" Xia Chunyu snorted.

Ye Jiayao had originally forgotten about that incident. She didn't want to remember unhappy things, but when she saw his unhappy expression, she recalled it again.

She squinted at him and said sinisterly, "You want me to settle an old score with you, right?"

Xia Chunyu only felt a gust of cold wind penetrate his clothes, his back felt cold, and he quickly coughed twice: "Nothing."

Ye Jiayao didn't want to let him off so easily, and he finally brought it up himself.

"Tell me the truth, did you and Liu Yiyi do anything to offend me that day?" Ye Jiayao pressed.

Xia Chunyu shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, absolutely not, I can swear."

"Not that day, but what about before? What about after?"

"Never, and I'm not the kind of person who will eat anything when he's hungry." Xia Chunyu said.

"Are you so hungry that you won't be able to choose what to eat? You spent a fortune on her, is that considered as being so hungry that you won't be able to choose what to eat?" Ye Jiayao still felt a bit upset about the ten thousand taels.

Xia Chunyu looked embarrassed: "I've already said that she is the daughter of an old friend, just consider it as helping her father."

"Hmph! If you dare to do anything to let me down, I'll make you pay." Ye Jiayao took the opportunity to threaten.

"Oh, let's not talk about the past. We should focus on the future, right? It's not worth it to keep thinking about the past and make yourself unhappy." Xia Chunyu pulled her forward: "Go and redeem the prize."

Ye Jiayao then let him go in dismay. After a while, the two of them came out with a lot of prizes and asked Song Qi to take them. Xia Chunyu said, "I'll go and guess too. I can't let you be so proud alone."

Ye Jiayao disagreed: "Then go ahead, let me see how capable you are as a hero who can bring peace to the world with a pen and decide the fate of the world on a horse."

Song Qi said with a sad face: "My Lord, can you guess less? I only have two hands!"

Xia Chunyu glared at him and said, "Stupid, can't you put these on the carriage first?"

Song Qi said "oh" and left with the prize in his arms.

Ye Jiayao really didn't expect that Xia Chunyu was quite capable. She guessed sixteen, and he took exactly sixteen puzzles in exchange for a bunch of prizes.

It can be said that we returned home with a full load.

When the carriage reached the river, Ye Jiayao suddenly remembered something. She lifted the curtain and looked out, and sure enough, she saw the little girl from last time.

"Stop the car."

Song Qi immediately pulled the reins.

Ye Jiayao jumped off the carriage.

"Yaoyao, what are you going to do?" Xia Chunyu followed.

Ye Jiayao walked up to the little girl and asked, "Sister, how much is this lotus lantern?"

"Five copper coins a lamp."

Ye Jiayao took out a handful of copper coins and didn't know how to count them: "Give me two lotus lanterns."
