During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
"Boss Ye, you see, my unruly son is ignorant and has offended you.
"I've already taught him a lesson. Please, for his young age, forgive him this time!"
Wu Tianshuo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, did not intend to be subservient to Ye Lao San from the beginning.
But after his son Wu Qirong caused trouble last time, he was still wary of whether Ye Qingshan would cause trouble. As a result, the next day, Prince Rui reported him to the emperor through a memorial.
Now Prince Rui is finally no longer an idle prince and has started to help the emperor with his work. The emperor is so happy that he can't stop smiling every time he sees Prince Rui standing below during court sessions.
Everyone in the court could see that Prince Rui was now a big shot in the eyes of the emperor, and no one dared to cross him.
As a result, his own son was reported to the authorities.
In order to save face for his younger brother, the emperor turned a deaf ear to the concubine's pleas, and even punished her by confining her to her house for three months for interfering in state affairs.
Mrs. Wu’s family was furious and called the man back to give him a good scolding.
That's why Wu Tianshuo hurriedly brought his son here today to congratulate and apologize.
Ye Laosan had never dealt with such a matter before. When he thought that the other party was a court official, he didn't know how to respond.
He was about to turn around and ask Ye Qingshan for help when he heard a few whistles coming from outside the door.
Ye Laosan had just arrived in the capital and didn't understand what was going on, but the other shopkeepers in Luban Hutong were very familiar with it.
"Is there any distinguished person coming today?"
"Could it be Prince Rui?"
"That's not the case. A carpentry workshop has already attracted a general, so how could a prince come after that?"
"You also said that since the general is here, it's not impossible for the prince to be here."
Everyone was talking at once, but their feet were not idle either. After a while, they all moved to places on both sides where they would not get in the way.
After a few whistles outside, Qingtian, dressed in luxurious clothes, was seen entering the courtyard surrounded by people.
Someone else stood at the door and shouted, "The princess has arrived."
Everyone in the yard knelt down, leaving only the Ye family members who were confused and had not yet reacted. They all stood there in a daze.
When Qingtian came in, he had a stern face and looked very serious.
But as soon as he came in and saw the Ye family, he couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
She ran towards Ye Lao San, congratulating him repeatedly: "Good luck on your opening, Uncle San. I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money!"
After Qingtian finished speaking, she threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Ye and asked coquettishly, "Mom, do you think I look good today?"
The other people in the yard who didn't know what was going on were about to faint.
What is the origin of this woodworking workshop?
The princess actually calls Boss Ye "Third Uncle"?
Why do you still call the lady next to you "mom"?
What is the relationship between these two?
The eyes of everyone in Luban Hutong when they looked at Ye Laosan changed.
Master Liu and Cheng Changan, who were kneeling beside him, were also dumbfounded.
They could see that Qingtian's attire and ceremonial guard definitely showed that she was a princess.
But when did Ye Lao San become the princess's third uncle?
This relationship is so confusing that I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try.
Cheng Changan whispered, "No wonder Third Brother Ye refused to come to supervise the work!"
Master Liu choked when he heard this.
He came here today to support the opening of the woodworking workshop, but he was still thinking about continuing to lobby Ye Lao San!
Master Liu had just helped Ye Lao San to secure the benefit of being able to work in the General Construction Supervisor in name only and open a carpentry workshop at the same time.
He thought he was sure to win this time, but who knew such a big unexpected situation would happen.
It was Qingtian's first time to be in the ceremonial procession of a princess, and even the clothes and headgear she was wearing were just made by the Ministry of Rites and sent to Prince Rui's palace for her to try on.
So as soon as she saw the Ye family, she immediately forgot what to do next.
Fortunately, Princess Rui had made preparations in advance and assigned her a ceremonial officer from the Prince Rui's Palace.
He was the one who just shouted at the door, "The princess is here."
Seeing that Qingtian had forgotten to ask people to stand up, he hurried forward and reminded them in a low voice.
Qingtian finally remembered and quickly peeled himself off Sister Ye. He stood up again and said, "Everyone, stand up!"
Only then did everyone in the yard dare to stand up.
Wu Tianshuo and his son also stood up. Wu Qirong couldn't help but whispered, "Is this family crazy? They have such a strong background but they didn't reveal it earlier.
"If I had known from the beginning that his family was related to Prince Rui's Mansion, I wouldn't have dared to bring people here to cause trouble even if I had a few more guts... Ouch..."
Before Wu Qirong could finish his words, he was hit by his father.
"Grandfather, please shut up!
"Your mother didn't hit you too hard, did she?
"If anyone else hears what you say, I can't protect you."
Wu Qirong then shrank his neck and dared not speak anymore.
At this moment, Qingtian had been surrounded by the Ye family and taken into the house. Ye Lao San was still outside greeting the guests, but everyone's attitude towards him was completely different from before.
As soon as she entered the house and saw that there were no outsiders, Qingtian shouted that the thing on her head was too heavy and asked Mrs. Ye to help her take it off quickly.
While helping her remove her headgear, Mrs. Ye asked, "Why are you coming here so solemnly today?"
"My father said that it was inconvenient for him and my mother to come and show up because of their identities, but I can come.
"He also said that as long as I dressed like this and brought people here, I could help Third Uncle save face, and no one would dare to cause trouble for Third Uncle in the future."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but feel a lump in her nose.
"Prince Rui and his wife are such kind people! Not only do they not despise our family, but they even care about us so much."
Qingtian quickly asked, "Grandma, am I helping Uncle San?"
"Yes, Qingtian has helped a lot!" Old Mrs. Ye reached out and stroked Qingtian's little face. "Our whole family has benefited from Qingtian's help!"
At this time, Mrs. Ye finally took off all the jewelry on Qingtian's head and put her hair into double buns again.
Qingtian finally freed his mind and threw himself into Old Lady Ye's arms, saying, "My family members are all so kind to me!"
When Master Liu slipped in, he saw Old Madam Ye holding Qingtian and said, "Now your uncles have all made their own fortunes, and I've finally made it through."
Hearing this, his mind suddenly changed.
Yes, every elder wants their children to be successful.
If I can't convince Ye San, maybe I can find a breakthrough from Ye Old Lady.
Thinking of this, Master Liu put his face on the line and took the initiative to step forward and talk to the Ye family.
After a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point.
The extent of Old Lady Ye's reaction was beyond his expectations.
"Let the third son go to the Supervisor of Works?" Old Madam Ye's face changed when she heard this. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, this is absolutely not possible."
