When Liu and her entourage returned and learned of the flag, none of them had any objections.
We've all experienced hunger, so we know how unbearable it is. It would be wonderful if we could help people who were like us in the past.
The Ye family returned home in a horse-drawn carriage.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Yan Yu.
"Miss, there's quite a lot of stuff this time."
Ye Panjiu nodded and led him to the backyard.
Old Man Ye and Ye Erniu exchanged a glance.
"This man is no ordinary person," Old Man Ye remarked with deep emotion.
He still remembers the taste of the imperial wine on the winter solstice; it was truly delicious.
Ye Erniu said with certainty, "Dad, my little sister was definitely fooled by that man's face."
Old Man Ye's eyes widened. "I have a feeling we'll definitely meet this man when we go to Shuzhou for the New Year. We'll have to help our daughter vet him then!"
We can't let something like what happened to Du Pengzhi happen again; his heart can't take the shock.
Yan Yu placed a large box on the table, unlocked it, and took out the items one by one.
"My lord said that these are all rewards from His Majesty, the imperial edict for a third-rank imperial consort. He said that it would be better for you to keep it a secret."
This is the land deed for Ziling Villa on the outskirts of Beijing; what remains is one hundred taels of gold.
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow. The emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty was quite enlightened.
Afterwards, Yan Yu took out a package from the box, saying, "The master has selected some of the warmest clothes in the capital to give to the young lady."
“Miss, this is the master’s letter.” Yan Yu carefully took out the letter.
Ye Panjiu took it; a plum blossom was sealed under the sealing wax on the envelope.
Its branches are strong and twisted, its petals are as red as rosy clouds and as thin as cicada wings, and you can smell a faint fragrance when you get close.
Yan Yu wisely withdrew.
Ye Panjiu didn't open the letter with the sealing wax, but instead used scissors to cut it open from the front.
It's still Chengxintang paper.
"Zhan Xin'an, this letter has been delayed for quite some time. I wonder how you have been lately? His Majesty has instructed me to ask you if you would be willing to take charge of this intelligence department? I have a junior brother in Shuzhou, and an empty house that you may stay in temporarily..."
The two sheets of paper were covered with writing.
Ye Panjiu read through the passages, one after another: "The days are passing so slowly, why isn't the seal still intact? My heart has already flown to Shuzhou. I've heard there's a river in Shuzhou where lanterns are released during the New Year. If only we could take a boat trip on that river together..."
"The dumplings Qing made are the best I've ever eaten. The taste is so wonderful, I feel like I'm in heaven..."
"It was quite chilly when I went out this morning. It must be even colder in the northwest. Please dress warmly and don't catch a cold. You should also practice some martial arts; it will make you healthier..."
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. Wasn't this Grand Chancellor being a bit too fussy?
But seeing it warmed my heart.
She raised her hand and touched the moon-white mink fur coat with tassels; the mink fur was very soft.
I picked it up and draped it over my shoulders; it was very warm and looked quite nice.
Su Yan sent overcoats, which are mostly loose-fitting for winter, so there was no problem with them not fitting properly.
Ye Panjiu finally took down the plum blossom branch and carried it to the front yard.
Ye Daniu was feeding the horse beans, while Old Man Ye was stroking the horse beside him.
How big is our horse?
Ye Daniu answered without hesitation, "Three years old, still too young."
"How long can it live? We can't let it get too tired," Old Man Ye asked anxiously.
"The horse seller said they could be in their twenties or thirties, and he hoped Black Wind could live to be forty."
After finishing the beans, the horse affectionately licked Ye Daniu's hand.
Ye Panjiu stepped forward with a smile, "Big brother even gave it a name, Black Wind, which sounds nice."
Ye Daniu scratched his head. "The yellow one is called Yellow Wind, and the white one is called White Wind."
Ye Panjiu's lips twitched. She should have thought of the Ye family's naming strategy.
Old Man Ye asked, "Girl, why are you holding plum blossoms in your hand? They're chilling your hands."
"Father, I want to plant this plum blossom. When it grows big enough, it will be even more beautiful to bloom in the snow."
Old Man Ye took the plum tree. "Alright, wherever you want to plant it, I'll go plant it for you. But be careful to keep it warm, otherwise it will definitely freeze and won't survive."
Ye Panjiu said, "Plant it in my yard, thank you, Father."
Old Man Ye took the shovel and walked towards the backyard, with Ye Panjiu following behind him.
Old Man Ye said in a deep voice, "Daughter, it's not that I'm against you getting married again, but you have to promise me that you will never jump into the river again. I'm really scared!"
Ye Panjiu sighed and held up three fingers. "Father, don't worry, I swear I will never give up my life, no matter what."
No one understands how precious life is better than someone who died suddenly like her.
She would never take her own life, no matter what difficulties or obstacles she encountered.
Old Man Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you think that way."
Ye Panjiu patted his shoulder, "Father, I was ignorant before, I won't do it again."
Old Man Ye was over sixty years old, with graying temples and a slightly hunched back.
She felt terrible seeing this.
Old Man Ye held her hand and said, "I've never had any great abilities in my life, but I just hope that the three of you can live well."
Ye Panjiu nodded obediently.
After arriving at the courtyard, Old Man Ye lifted up a few bricks and moved some soil with a shovel.
“The soil is all frozen. I’ll go get a pot of charcoal. Once the ice melts, I’ll wrap some dry grass inside. It’s just a single branch; it won’t survive. But Father will watch over it carefully and try his best to make it grow into a big tree,” Old Man Ye said as he busied himself.
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Dad, it's alright. If it's destined to grow, that's fine. If it's not, it will become nutrients for other plants, which is also a way of existence."
She plucked a petal, intending to tuck it into Su Yan's letters.
Old Man Ye thought about it carefully, "That's true. Whether it's fate or not, it's all good. If we're not destined to meet this time, maybe the next one will be!"
Ye Panjiu was both amused and exasperated. She was talking about the plum blossoms, and had no idea whether she had any connection with Su Yan.
From the tune Su Yan played on his flute on a rainy day, the two were destined to be together.
But who knows where this fate will lead?
But she is very open-minded about relationships; if she has one, it's a bonus, and if she doesn't, she still lives a wonderful life.
After Ye Lei picked up his wife and sisters from the academy and brought them home, the Ye family's dinner began.
When Old Man Ye heard that tomorrow was Laba Festival, he stroked his beard and said, "After the New Year, we'll have to plow the fields and start spring planting. We haven't moved around much all winter, and my whole body is itchy."
Ye Daniu looked at Ye Panjiu.
Ye Panjiu spoke up, "Father, the shop in Qingshui County will still be open next year. I also plan to open a few more shops, such as in Shuzhou, the capital, and so on. So next year I want to go out and see the world."
If you want to farm, then continue farming; if you want to manage shops, then manage shops; if you're too busy, hire more people; you can also come with me.
The Ye family members were stunned for a moment and remained silent.
Old Man Ye and Old Woman Ye exchanged a glance.
Old Man Ye said, "Daughter, you are still young. It would be good for you to go out and see the world. Your father and mother have been taking care of these dozen or so acres of land for most of our lives, and we want to continue farming them."
Ye Panjiu smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad. Homegrown rice and vegetables taste the best. Let's hire a few more long-term workers, and then hire some short-term workers when things get busy, so we don't overwork ourselves."
