Chapter 1859 Let’s Go Dig
Chang Yu said "Huh" and asked curiously, "Is that so?"
"That's right. Let's not talk about those far away. Look at the wealthy families in the capital. Isn't it common to have old ladies, but not old masters?"
Changyu and Mingda both widened their eyes and realized this.
The most important thing is that they have a ready-made example in the palace. The late emperor has been dead for many years, but the Empress Dowager is still alive and well.
Mingda couldn't help but cough lightly, clearing his throat a little uncomfortably to clear the thoughts in his mind. He then nodded and said, "You have some truth in what you said."
Chang Yu began to think, "So, I will definitely live longer than him in the future. When he dies..."
She was extremely happy. After her husband died, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted?
Mingda and Manbao seemed to know what she was thinking. They both raised their eyelids and glanced at her before saying, "If you become a widower too early, not only His Majesty but also the Crown Prince will find you a new consort, right?"
Chang Yu slumped his shoulders and said, "Forget it. One is troublesome enough. I'm looking for another. Am I thinking I've lived too long?"
Manbao asked, "Don't you dislike Wei Yu? Then it wouldn't be bad to change to a prince consort."
Chang Yu said awkwardly, "I don't like him, but among the young men of the right age in the capital, who is more suitable than him?"
Seeing that she was actually speaking up for Wei Yu, Mingda couldn't help but smile and asked, "Don't you like playing polo? Let's go directly to the Western Suburbs Horse Farm and see who plays the best polo and choose him as your consort."
Chang Yu pouted and said, "I don't want to. Among people of the same age, Pang Er is the best at polo. He and Cousin Zhao are good friends. He not only plays polo, but also goes to the Lefang Casino."
Manbao asked, "Zhao Liulang?"
"That's right," Chang Yu said, "Now besides him, who else in the prince's family has nothing to do?"
Zhao Liulang's brothers have either entered officialdom or been assigned tasks at home. Now he is the only one still living with his parents.
The three of them sat on the couch and chatted some gossip. The people around Wei Yu compared Wei Yu. Manbao and Mingda tried their best to say bad things about him, and the good things others said actually made Changyu defend them several times.
Mingda was surprised, "This method actually works."
Chang Yu was silent for a long time before saying, "It's been so long, I've almost forgotten what he looks like."
Not to mention Manbao, even Mingda didn't believe it. "How long has it been? It couldn't have been more than twenty days since you got engaged, right? How could you have forgotten?"
"My father and mother are both here, how can I have the nerve to go see him?" Chang Yu said, "Come to think of it, the only time I really looked at him was when we first met. After that, we only met briefly because the adults were all there."
Man Bao said: "It's okay, just wait for me. I will take Bai Shan to paint for him when I leave the palace tomorrow. I will bring his small painting into the palace to show you."
Chang Yu opened his mouth wide, "This, this is so embarrassing."
"If you feel embarrassed, why not give him a small portrait of yourself?"
Mingda volunteered, "I'll draw it."
Chang Yu: "It's even more embarrassing."
Manbao encouraged her, "You're already engaged, what's there to be embarrassed about? It's already done. Besides the little statue, do you have anything else for me to give him?"
Changyu never thought about giving Wei Yu anything, okay?
Hearing this, she shook her head repeatedly, "No, my mother and master have taught me that girls should be more reserved."
"Then let's paint a small portrait," Mingda decisively ordered the palace maids to prepare the painting materials, "Prepare more paint, I want to make my sister look more beautiful."
Manbao was about to leave, but when he saw this, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll help."
So one of them helped Changyu sit on the chair. Manbao looked at Changyu and shook his head, "No, you need to dress up again and change into bright clothes."
Changyu's maid even offered, "I'll do a new bun for the princess."
Obviously, they also hope that the princess and her husband can live in harmony with each other.
So everyone encouraged each other, and Changyu dressed up and was pressed on a chair to have a portrait of Mingda.
Manbao even found a fan that suited her best from a pile of round fans and stuffed it into her hand, "Covering it up, half-covering it is the most shy and beautiful."
Changyu: ...
Unfortunately, such a small portrait takes a long time to draw. When Manbao left, Mingda had only finished the rough outline, and it still needed to be colored, which took quite some time.
So she said to Chang Yu, who was sitting there frozen in place, "Send the painting to me when it's finished. If you can't make it tonight, send it directly to the palace gate tomorrow morning."
Chang Yu was only a little excited for a moment, and now he was regretting agreeing to paint their portrait. He nodded perfunctorily and said, "I understand."
Remembering something, she quickly said, "When you enter the palace, remember to bring me the wild vegetables made by your sister-in-law."
Manbao replied: "Don't worry, I will never forget this even if I forget anything else."
Because she also wants to eat wild vegetables, the kind that are sour, crispy and very refreshing.
Manbao not only wanted to eat it himself, but also kept saying that Bai Shan and Bai Erlang wanted to eat it too. Even Yin Huo and Liu Huan, who had never eaten it before, couldn't help but be tempted and asked, "Is it really that delicious?"
Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Man Bao nodded together.
Yin Huo then said, "Then we can go to your house as guests after leaving the palace tomorrow?"
Manbao said it was no problem.
But the next day, Manbao took the little statue sent by the palace maid and stuffed it into the basket. When he ran home, he was told that there were no wild vegetables.
Xiao Qian smiled and said, "This is in the capital, not in our village. Where do these wild vegetables come from?"
Manbao asked, "Isn't it sold at the market?"
"Who would buy wild vegetables at the market?" Xiao Qian laughed. "Aside from edible mushrooms, who would spend money on bitter wild vegetables? Aren't vegetables grown in the fields more delicious?"
Manbao said, "But the salad my sister-in-law makes must be mixed with wild vegetables to make it the most flavorful."
Fang and Lu, who had eaten wild vegetables before, agreed. "Every spring, we can eat wild vegetables for a while. Now that we can't eat them, we really miss them."
Zhou Lijun, who was passing by, didn't even look up and replied nonchalantly, "Isn't it easy? We'll go to the farm to work in a few days. Then we can go to the fields and look for wild vegetables there."
After saying that, he floated away.
Fang thought this was a good idea, but Manbao said, "No, you can go to the manor, but we can't. We can't eat now, and if we want to eat, we have to wait until the second half of the month to rest."
"The most important thing is that I promised Princess Changyu that I would bring her some."
It was difficult to go back on one's word after promising the princess. Xiao Qian began to worry, "What should I do? Where can I find wild vegetables at home in such a short time?"
Bai Shan said, "Let's go dig."
See you at 9pm
