Chapter 221 He Should Thank Me Most
The Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan were being intimate in the carriage. When they heard the carriage moving again, they separated. Ye Youlan straightened her clothes and asked the Seventh Prince if there was anything wrong.
The Seventh Prince couldn't help himself and said with a red face: "Let's go to our own farm first and come back later."
Without waiting for Ye Youlan to speak, he asked the driver to go to his own farm. It was not far anyway, just an incense stick of time at most.
Li Chuang was confused and watched the palace's carriage pass by the manor gate without stopping.
Because Ruoyun was pregnant, she didn't come, so she asked him to bring some people to help.
He went inside and saw that the courtyard was full of people and many open spaces were occupied by stalls. He saw some acquaintances and went over to say hello.
Li Zong had a day off today and came to help. He heard a worker come over and whisper to him that Lanzhi's father was talking nonsense. He frowned and found an excuse to scold Lanzhi's parents, saying that he would send them back to their hometown if they didn't behave.
Li Chuang came over and said with a smile, "Zhuangzi is so lively, just like the New Year."
"Thank you, Brother Li, for bringing the City Patrol officers to help."
"Zhang Liang and Chen Su are both busy and can't come. I just saw the carriage from the palace, they should be coming soon."
"Youlan likes to join in the fun, I know."
Li Chuang looked at Li Zong with amusement: "Now that we're married, it's inappropriate for you to call the princess by her full name."
Li Zong disagreed: "Youlan and I have known each other since childhood, there is no need to be so particular."
"You'd better be polite, otherwise the prince will be unhappy when he hears it."
A trace of displeasure flashed across Li Zongruyu's face. "I don't care whether he's happy or not. He should be grateful to me the most. If I had married Ye Youlan, he wouldn't have had anything to do with it."
Li Zongchuang didn't want to continue chatting. He wanted to go to the stall to see what good things were there.
When he turned around and took two steps, he heard a scream of "ouch". He turned around and saw Li Zong covering his forehead with blood flowing from between his fingers. He hurried over to ask him what was wrong?
"Some bastard hit me with a walnut."
Li Chuang took the walnut from his hand and looked at it. He pushed hard and the walnut opened, revealing the walnut kernel. It was just an ordinary walnut. He looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious.
"Maybe a kid was playing with walnuts and bumped into you. I'll help you get some medicine."
"No, I'll go by myself."
Li Chuang wanted to laugh when he saw Li Zong grinning. He felt that this walnut was definitely not a child's toy. He must have been punished for his bad mouth. However, he did not deserve sympathy because it was his fault for talking nonsense.
If Ruoyun hadn't explained it, he would have wondered why Ye Youlan had thought of marrying him in the first place.
At noon, the sun had already climbed overhead, and the scorching air hit my face. Coupled with the people coming and going in the yard, even breathing felt smoky and hot.
Li Chuang wanted to have a cup of tea in the wing room when he heard the sound of a stall next to him suddenly falling to the ground. The things on the stall were scattered all over the ground. Some people helped to pick them up, while others took the opportunity to take the things and hide them in their sleeves.
Li Chuang was afraid of a stampede, so he asked people from the City Patrol to come and help.
There was a guy complaining that he didn’t sell many items but lost a lot of them. I wonder if they will have to pay for it during the inventory?
Li Chuang walked forward and saw a bright red outfit in the crowd. There were the most people there, so he walked over curiously to see what people were watching.
I squeezed over and saw that it was Rong Ji’s dim sum and tea stall.
The waiter shouted enthusiastically: "Everyone, please don't squeeze, line up and buy. Dim sum is ten cents each, and tea or mung bean soup is three cents for a small cup, five cents for a medium cup, and ten cents for a large cup."
Because Li Chuang was wearing a work uniform, no one dared to ask him to queue up. He came over and asked for a large bowl of mung bean soup.
A waiter took his money and gave him a bowl of tea, reminding him: "Put the cup in the bucket after you finish drinking." Another waiter was washing it nearby.
At this time, another waiter brought over a large bucket of tea, and two waiters followed with a bucket of mung bean soup.
Li Chuang asked where it was carried from?
"It was brought from the palace's farm. Everyone started preparing it at Chou in the morning."
Qin Yurou accompanied the ladies to rest in the side room. The weather was too hot, so they stood for a while and then returned. Xiaohong came over with a bowl of mung bean soup.
"Madam, this is Rongji's mung bean soup with ice cubes. It's very refreshing and thirst-quenching."
Qin Yurou took it and took a sip, and a chill ran through her heart. Seeing several ladies looking at her, she smiled and asked Xiaohong to bring a bowl to them.
"No, we'll let our own girl go."
Soon, the ladies all drank the mung bean soup and ate it with snacks, which was very enjoyable.
"Why didn't we think of selling tea and snacks?"
"Yes, it's so hot today, and Rongji's tea and snacks are selling well."
"But the most expensive one is only ten cents, so he shouldn't make much money. The silver we earn from one piece of silk is enough for him to sell tea for a whole day."
Everyone laughs.
One lady was curious: "Why don't I see your good sister today?"
"Oh, that's right. Ruoyun and Miaoyu can't come because they are pregnant. Xiaoling has taken her son back to her parents' home. The princess is at the farm next door and should be here soon."
Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince made a fuss in their own farm for a long time before they stopped. Ye Youlan was shy and asked the Seventh Prince not to ask Dingxiang to come in and serve him, as she could not afford to lose face.
The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "I will serve you."
He asked Dingxiang to prepare the bath water.
Dingxiang wondered: "Weren't the prince and princess going to the Li family farm? Why did they suddenly return to their own farm? They'd been inside for quite some time, and suddenly they wanted to take a shower. How strange!"
When she ordered the maid to bring hot water into the house, she suddenly understood and her face turned red to her neck with shame.
After washing up, the two of them came to Li's farm.
Ye Youlan was gorgeous and the prince was extremely handsome. When they got off the carriage, they immediately attracted countless people's attention. They felt that they were a perfect couple and were very enviable.
When Qin Yurou heard that Ye Youlan had arrived, she quickly stood up and went out to greet her, and the other ladies also followed.
Ye Youlan and Qin Yurou went to the side room to talk, while the Seventh Prince went to the next side room to talk with the man who came up to greet him.
Qin Yurou introduced several ladies to Ye Youlan one by one. Ye Youlan smiled without saying a word and nodded her chin slightly.
"It's really hot today. Some people left after just a short stroll. Everyone needs to take a break at noon. There should be more people in the afternoon."
"I don't know how business is going?"
"Send a maid to find out."
After a while, a few girls came over to talk about the situation of their own stalls.
The Li family's silk shop sold three bolts of cloth, the Chang family's grocery store sold a few basins, and the Liu family's cosmetics shop sold ten boxes of rouge...
Everyone was a little discouraged: "There are obviously a lot of people here today, why is no one buying anything?"
Qin Yurou looked at Ye Youlan, wanting to hear her opinion.
Ye Youlan smiled, "It's mainly because the weather is too hot. Once the sun comes out, people get too hot and want to hide in a cool place, so their interest in shopping wanes. It has nothing to do with the quality of the things they buy."
