Chapter 66: Food

It was early after coaxing Ye Huaiyang to fall asleep, Chu Jinglan came to the yard, the banquet was over, Ye Huailing and Pei Yuanshu set off fireworks in the open space, having a great time, Ye Huaixin sat on the side Looking at them in the pavilion, making a pot of tea and setting a pot of charcoal fire, it was quite pleasant.
Chu Jinglan lifted his robe and sat next to Ye Huaixin, pouring himself a cup of Penglai Xianhao to drink. Before entering the mouth, he heard Ye Huaixin ask: "Brother-in-law, sister is asleep?"
"Sleep." He took a sip of his tea, and put the jade lamp back on the marble circle table. "She has always had such a poor drinking volume?"
"It used to be much worse." Thinking of the anecdote of the past, Ye Huaixin couldn't help laughing. "When she was a child, she drank the aged wine at home by mistake. She lost her head in just one sip, and somehow broke her father and mother. Afterwards, my eldest brother told me to take her back to the room, took a sip of wine, and then went to Daddy's place to plead for the crime."
"and after?"
"Later, my elder brother was scolded severely by my father, and he went to the ancestral hall to kneel again. There was no way. My mother was my father's treasure, and my father had always been merciless in matters involving her. Then my sister woke up and didn't remember What happened? I heard that my eldest brother had been punished, so he crawled into the ancestral hall in the middle of the night to give him food. He was so ashamed that his knees and palms were worn out. The eldest brother felt distressed and asked her to go back. But she said that she was cold in the ancestral hall for fear that his eldest brother would be uncomfortable alone, and he wanted to stay there with him, and then he held his eldest brother and refused to let go. The next day when my mother went in, she saw her sleeping well in the elder brother’s clothes, her saliva flowed. Everywhere."
Speaking of this, even Chu Jinglan couldn't hide his pleasing expression, and his cold face looked extremely soft under the shadow of the afterglow.
"How old are you then?"
"Only seven years old." Ye Huaixin showed her face slightly, revealing a maturity that does not match her age. "Speaking of her, her stubborn temper can be seen since then, but the more restrained she grew up, we didn't look at it. Come out, so in the heart of the big brother, she has always been that cute and caring baby sister. When she started to disturb the muddy waters of the royal capital and insisted on marrying you, one can imagine how surprised and angry the big brother was."
A huge firework suddenly exploded on top of each other, and Chu Jinglan looked at the rotten gold and silver shining in the sky, and did not answer.
Ye Huaixin said again: "The eldest brother may be a little stupid, but there is also a reason. He has been away for many years. I don't know how many people have been killed by the government. I also don't know that the high family has become an executioner in order to fight for fame and profit. If I stay in the center for a year or a half like me, I am afraid I will only sigh."
Chu Jinglan looked at him sideways, and the depths of the halo in his eyes overlapped, implying insight, "Why, can't the Zhongshu save it anymore?"
"I can't say that, it's just..." Ye Huaixin curled his lips, showing a wry smile, "Take this new edict as an example, I really don't understand the situation."
"Talk about it." Chu Jinglan raised his hand to take the jade lamp, and slowly fiddled with the lid, as if he was ready for a long talk.
"This edict for the return of salt and iron was drafted by the teacher himself. After that, the courtyard was locked and it was handed over to the imperial study room the next day. It stands to reason that no one except him would know about it. Look at Wang Ying. It was known from Wang Jian’s reaction at the night banquet, but Xie Yuan was different. He did a lot of small actions in private. Now it seems that they are all aimed at seeking the position of governor of Jiangnan for the Xie clan in Korea. The news was revealed to him."
As he talked, his face dimmed, as if he could not believe that Yue Ting would be mingled with the Xie family, and he didn't understand what he meant by doing this. Chu Jinglan was so shrewd that he could immediately see what he was thinking. Faintly asked: "Do you think you have followed the wrong teacher?"
"No, I won't make judgments before I figure out the facts, I'm just a little confused..."
"This is the case with the court. There will be many things you can't understand, but first you have to understand what you want. If you want to fight against the beetles, you must figure out their relationship of interests. For the people, it doesn’t really matter whether they give or accept it privately, but how to prevent this edict from being issued to Jiangnan."
The hot smoke gushing from the Yuzhan floated in the air, covering half of Chu Jinglan's face, but the sharp words seemed to come through the clouds and mist, impacting Ye Huaxin's eardrums, making him sober.
"What's the use of asking for orders if you don't reform the politics? I escaped this time and will come back next time. Overthrowing it is the fundamental solution."
The corner of Chu Jinglan's mouth curled slightly, and said, "Then you don't have to care about what your teacher does. You have been an official in the Ministry of Education for more than a year. He has taught you everything that should be taught. Go your own way. If he gets in the way in the future, you might as well struggle again or fight against him."
"He is today's confidant, and he is bound to fight with me." Ye Huaixin muttered to himself, and immediately looked at Chu Jinglan, "Before I was expelled from Zhongshu Province like Yuan Shu, brother-in-law can What can I do for me?"
"You just stay alive." Chu Jinglan glanced at him, and the smile on his lips gradually deepened. "You know, my wife is as fierce as a tiger."
Ye Huaixin was stunned, then burst into laughter.
At this time, there was a zero-time sound from outside, and countless fireworks and firecrackers were released, resounding through the royal capital. The late-night wind is still strong, but it does not dissipate the harmonious atmosphere in the palace, whether it is the dance of Ye Huai Ling. It is Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaixin who narrate together in the eight-sided pavilion, or the sleeping Ye Huaiyang, who are immersed in the warmth of the little family tonight, with continuous warmth.
The cold winter has passed, and the warmth of spring is not far away, right?
The next day.
When Ye Huaiyang woke up, Chu Jinglan was no longer by her side. The earth dragon was still burning. She straightened up and sat there in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, she felt something dangling between her neck. When she pulled it out, her eyes were sharp. Lights up.
"Crescent Moon."
Hearing Ye Huaiyang calling her, Crescent Moon, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came in quickly with the water basin. After putting it down, he first paid a New Year's greetings, and then said with a smile: "Miss Happy New Year, but are you about to get up?"
Ye Huaiyang nodded, and then asked, "Where is the prince?"
"Miss Hui, the prince has only practiced swords in the yard for a while, and then went to the study room. He hasn't come out yet."
"Nothing to eat?" Ye Huaiyang frowned, and immediately went to the ground barefoot, while holding her hair like a waterfall while instructing, "Go and let the kitchen make some yam porridge with golden shortbread and eight-treasure pickles. Two cups of milk, fast."
Crescent Moon replied repeatedly, went out to send a message to the other maidservants, and came back to clean up Ye Huaiyang.
At the beginning of the new year, Yiyan is not suitable for vegetarians. Crescent specially chose a set of peach blossom cloud mist and thousand water skirts for Ye Huaiyang to wear, coupled with suet hosta and rose ruby ​​ear cuffs, to make the whole person look like water lotus, beautiful and unparalleled. When she was about to put on makeup, the maid just came to report that the meal was ready, so she waved Crescent's hand and hurried out to the study.
Passing through the Jiuqu Corridor, the hem of the skirt has been stained with some morning dew, and the peach color has become thicker by three points. She can't pay attention to it, and stretches out her hand to open the hollow carved door. In the dazzling morning light, that handsome Ruyu’s person was sitting in front of the case and writing a light book. He heard the movement and did not look up, but said in a low voice: "Awake?"
"The town and days are all these government affairs, and there is no rest on the first day of the new year."
Ye Huaiyang snuck into his arms and squeezed into his armchair with him. He wrapped her waist easily, his star eyes turned slightly, and a little bright light met her eyes, revealing a little bit of unstoppable light. Joy.
"The news that Yanzhou just arrived, Zhenghe woke up."
"Really?" Ye Huaiyang exclaimed excitedly, "This can really be called a New Year's gift!"
Seeing her look happier than herself, Chu Jinglan's eyes grew deeper and deeper. Before she could say anything, the maidservants filed in with breakfast. They were all the things that Ye Huaiyang had just ordered, all with ice-patterned bowls. The plates were packed neatly on the coffee table next to them.
"Since there is a happy event, you can no longer watch it hungry. I asked them to cook some yam porridge to nourish their stomachs. Can you try?"
She had asked Lu Heng before that Chu Jinglan used some tiger wolf medicine to hurt her stomach when she was seriously injured six years ago, so she hasn't eaten much, but it always doesn't work well, so she changed. How to get some nutritious and appetizing things for him to eat, he couldn't stop her from acting like a baby, and he accepted it all, just like today, let her pull to the coffee table, chewing slowly and swallowing those that are not normally touched. Touch things.
Ye Huaiyang watched him eat, smiled crookedly, and then he bit a shortbread, and after swallowing it, he said, "Did you just reply to Zhenghe?"
Chu Jinglan nodded: "He has not healed from his serious injury, and he cannot get out of bed for the time being. He had personally supervised the food and payment of the Shence Army. Now I am afraid it will be delayed. I am going to transfer from another place and let him know in advance. ."
"That's not a small amount..." Ye Huaiyang frowned unknowingly, and calculated to himself, "Yejia still has some industries in the Northland. If we can get rid of it as soon as possible, the salary for the first half of the year should be nothing. questionable……"
Chu Jinglan chuckled lightly: "You should keep that little silver for yourself."
"Hey, the prince said so loudly, is it possible that he hid the private money with his princess on his back? Quick, confess not to kill."
The slender jade hand squeezed Chu Jinglan's earlobe, but began to rub it because of the mellow touch. Chu Jinglan pulled it down and held it in his palm, saying: "My father once gave me a gold mine."
There was a slight gasping noise: "Gold, gold mine?"
"I just mined one or two, and there are still digs." Chu Jinglan raised his sword eyebrows and looked at her sideways. "The mother and concubine don't know about this. This king has all confessed. I wonder if the queen can return it. satisfaction?"
The princess, who is in charge of financial power, nodded like a peck, and said, "Um, satisfied. If the prince can clearly state the location of the gold mine and the specific number of accounts, the princess will be more satisfied."
"Why not? Ask the princess for help, these things will be taken out anyway."
Ye Huaiyang suddenly raised her head, staring at Chu Jinglan with a deep smile, her eyes flashing golden.
He has always kept her from interfering with these things, and today not only did he take the initiative to mention it, he also asked her to help. So, after a long time, she is finally useful?
Ye Huaiyang couldn't hide his excitement, propped his chin and asked, "How can I help?"
Chu Jinglan pulled the kerchief and wiped the milk from the corner of her mouth, and spit out two words on her thin lips: "Fortune."
