Chapter 95 I Must Marry Her
Retracting her fingers, Du Wanwan lowered her voice and told Ye Tingxiao: "Don't worry! The powder will be fine after its expiration date. It won't affect your body. When it's almost ineffective, just find a doctor to prep you some medicine and pretend to drink it."
"If I don't look for anyone else, I'll look for you."
"That's fine." Du Wanwan didn't refuse. "The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. If you want to find me, come to me."
Ye Yi came out after eating, wiping his mouth with a satisfied look on his face: "Du Dalang! The snack you made is so delicious. I haven't eaten enough yet. I'll come back tomorrow."
Du Wanwan looked at him and said bluntly: "I'll treat you to food today, and you'll pay for it tomorrow."
"Thank you!" Ye Yi felt that he and Du Wanwan were already familiar with each other, so he didn't hesitate, "I'll pay for meals from now on."
Ye Er also came out and bowed to Du Wanwan: "Thank you for the snacks from Du Jia Dalang, they are really delicious."
"If you like the food, please come back often." Du Wanwan took the opportunity to attract business.
"Of course, of course."
Ye Er was not lying. He thought that such delicious food would be a delicacy if paired with fine wine. He never knew that pig offal could be so delicious. Miss Du's cooking skills were really impressive.
Ye Tingxiao on the side didn't say anything, but he wanted to curse in his heart.
Why couldn't these two tactless guys just stay inside and eat their food? Why did they come out? Were they disturbing him and Miss Du? They finally got together, but they didn't know where to go and disturb them.
"Okay!" Du Wanwan stood up and called Ye Tingxiao, "Wait a minute, I'll go cut a plate for you to take back and try. They've already eaten it, so you won't be missing."
At an almost invisible angle, the corners of Ye Tingxiao's mouth curled up slightly. Du Wanwan cared about him, and her heart felt warm.
He went in and cut two plates of pig offal, wrapped one in oil paper and gave it to Ye Tingxiao. He asked Du Wenjun to send the other plate to Tong Wu, the owner of the bookstore next door, because he must not break his promise.
I didn't charge him any money, but gave it to him for free to try. It was his first time making it and his first time in Liang County, so I just considered it as making a friend.
Yao Meixian fished out the rest, cut them up, and gave them to Yu Hanyan.
She is going back to southern Xinjiang tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity for her to eat on the way.
After taking the paper bag, Ye Tingxiao said nothing and asked Ye Yier to wait for him outside: "Du Dalang! Your relationship with the Ninth Princess of Southern Xinjiang must be kept secret and don't let anyone find out."
"Why?" Du Wanwan was surprised. "She and I didn't do anything shameful, why should I keep it secret?"
"Once the northern bandits break into Liang County, Southern Xinjiang will not sit idly by and will most likely invade." Ye Tingxiao and Du Wanwan analyzed the current situation. "Liang County is the first fortress in the defense of Southern Xinjiang. If a fight really breaks out and people know about your relationship, it will have a bad impact on you."
"Don't worry! She will leave tomorrow." Du Wanwan thought about it and felt something was wrong. "The people of Southern Xinjiang have set up a business in Liang County. Don't the Great Wei and Southern Xinjiang have business with each other? Why do they have to fight?"
"In order to expand the territory, opening a trade market is the benefit my father fought for Liang County from the Emperor of Wei. The trade between Southern Xinjiang and Wei will allow the people in the border towns to have enough food and clothing, and they will no longer think about plundering and fighting."
Du Wanwan gave Ye Tingxiao a thumbs up: "Your father is very strategic. He not only knows how to fight, but also knows how to appease the people in the border town. He is a master."
Ye Tingxiao felt a little embarrassed by her praise, but he didn't dare to say that it was his idea. If he did, it would seem like he was flattering himself.
"Not really. It's just so that everyone can live a good life. Constant wars are unbearable for both the common people and the garrison troops."
"Yes, we should do our best to keep the peace. War is always cruel no matter when it happens."
He didn't expect Du Wanwan to have such feelings. He suddenly felt that the girl he liked was different and could express the emotions he wanted to express.
Is this what it means when a husband sings and his wife follows his lead?
Thinking of this word, Ye Tingxiao felt sweet in his heart. After saying goodbye to Du Wanwan, he mounted his horse and left.
When he returned, he would put on a show with his father and mother, trying to spread the news of his illness to every corner of Liang County, and it would be best if all the young ladies from the aristocratic families knew about it.
This method, which can solve the problem once and for all, is really a good one. From now on, he will wholeheartedly protect Du Wanwan and wholeheartedly try to marry her.
There is no Pingyang Marquis Mansion in Liang County, but there is a County Magistrate's Mansion, and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is in the capital.
But everyone in Liang County knew that the county magistrate Ye Zhenghai was the Marquis of Pingyang, and had been stationed in Liang County. Together with the prefect Wang Jian, he had managed Liang County to ensure good weather and good harvests.
Wang Jian was not from the capital, he was a native of Liang County. He was promoted from a small county magistrate on the strength of the guarantee of Pingyang Hou Ye Zhenghai.
The two of them, one civil and one military, worked in perfect harmony and managed Liang County like an iron barrel. With trade exchanges with southern Xinjiang, the people lived a more prosperous life than in other border towns.
This time, when accepting refugees, Ye Zhenghai asked Wang Jian to accept as many as possible and told him that the people are the foundation of prosperity.
Wang Jian listened to him and accepted a large number of refugees fleeing famine into the city, and resettled them in the ten counties of Liang County.
Ye Tingxiao returned to the county magistrate's mansion, washed up, and asked Ye Yi to bring him three steamed buns. He ate up the pig offal given by Du Wanwan along with the steamed buns.
Then I went to the backyard to see my mother Chen Xiangxiu.
His father Ye Zhenghai had a very clean family, with only one wife and one concubine. His mother was the eldest daughter of the Shen family, a noble family in Liang County, and gave birth to him and his younger brother Ye Tingfeng.
Aunt Xu was a personal maid given by my grandmother. She gave birth to him after my mother got married, and it was seven years before her younger brother was born.
My grandmother urged my father to marry Xu so that they could have more children. Later, he had no choice but to marry her. She gave birth to a younger sister, Ye Tingyu, who is only ten years old this year and is still a little girl.
Xu was a sensible person. Knowing that her father and mother had a strong relationship, she never argued or competed with them and took the initiative to raise her sister under her mother's name.
The only girl in the family is also considered her father's legitimate daughter.
My younger sister Tingyu is shy by nature and seldom goes out for a stroll. She usually reads books or embroiders quietly in our mother's yard.
She is a very quiet girl, completely different from the daughters of wealthy families in the capital.
She didn't learn those calculating methods, nor did she have so many complicated thoughts. She was very simple, like a clear spring, you can see the bottom at a glance.
Ye Tingxiao couldn't say whether he liked or disliked this sister. He rarely paid attention to any girl before, but since he met Du Wanwan, he felt that his focus was changing.
This time when he returned to Kyoto, he witnessed the scheming and disgusting nature of the noble ladies in Kyoto, and instead felt that pure girls like his sister were more pleasing to the eye.
Accompanying Du Wanwan along the way, he felt that there were still girls in the world as smart, courageous, and ruthless as her, and they were worth him risking everything for.
No matter what the cost, he must marry her, otherwise he would rather live alone for the rest of his life.
