"Fortunately, we moved out. Fortunately, fortunately." After hearing Lin Xu'an's words, the Ye family was also frightened, and Ye Wanwan was even more grateful for the decision she made at that time.
"Lin Quan, do we have to be so particular? Come back after you recover from your illness. Be obedient and lie down." In the Lin family's bedroom, Lin Yu forcefully pushed down Lin Quan who wanted to sit up. What a fool this guy was. He was thinking of leaving before he even recovered from his illness.
Ye Wanwan sat on the steps in front of the house, looking down at the days passing by. Many snowmen had melted away, and she felt heavy in her heart. Winter had come, so could spring be far behind?
But where is her spring? She thought it was a gift from God, but now it seems that it is both a blessing and a disaster.
"General Bai, there is no need to do this. Since I have said so, I will keep my promise." After Di Fengyu said this, he led the army and marched towards Yulin City behind the military camp without even looking at Bai Qingwu.
He respected Bai Qingwu's loyalty and would not use humiliating means against him, but the Yulin City was only the first step for him to take action against Darong.
If Lord Darong continued like this and repeatedly disappointed his loyal ministers, he would be happy to see it happen. After all, they were rivals, and he was not a good man.
First, he broke his promise after signing the contract and repeatedly exploited the vassal states that had already surrendered and paid tribute. Later, he openly demanded that other countries send hostages. He was extremely arrogant.
In Yulin City, after the news of surrender came, people were in panic and hid inside the gates. No one was active in the city.
The entire city of Yulin was hushed and silent. Even the children who usually made noises and cried huddled together, as if they had sensed something was amiss.
"Your Majesty, the traitor Bai Qingwu surrendered without a fight and handed over the border city of Dayong to us. Yulin City is Dayong's refuge city and the first line of defense. It is really absurd. Your Majesty, please punish him." The Imperial Censor knelt down suddenly, holding the document in his hand, and said word by word.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Darong, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, said nothing, his eyes filled with disbelief and grief. No one could have imagined that the surrender of Yulin City was caused by him.
"Please, His Majesty, order the troops to recapture Yulin City and boost the morale of our Darong army."
"Your Majesty, please order the capture of the traitor Bai Qingwu, recover our borders, and teach that tiny country a lesson."
...The verbal and written criticisms of the civil officials actually suited Emperor Darong's wishes. Those who were unwilling to believe it were interrupted before they could even open their mouths. The wind direction in the court was actually one-sided.
Compared to Bai Qingwu's meritorious service in the battles over the years, what they remembered and resented seemed to be only this defeat, with spit flying everywhere. Compared to retaking Yulin City, what they valued more seemed to be the determination to kill Bai Qingwu.
"How can I allow others to trample upon my reputation as Darong? I, your humble servant, request to lead the army and defeat them mercilessly!"
"I am also willing to lead the army and restore peace to Yulin City."
The emperor seemed to have just recovered from his immense grief, his face full of vicissitudes. He said in a hoarse voice, "Lu Chengyang, listen to my orders. I order you to recapture the Lost City and bring General Bai back. As for this matter, no further discussion is allowed until it is fully investigated."
"I, your humble servant Lu Chengyang, will obey the order and live up to the trust of the emperor. I will restore the prestige of Dayong and teach that arrogant boy a lesson." Lu Chengyang, with a stubble on his face, stood up and knelt on the ground with great heroic spirit.
"Your Majesty, things have come to this point. You have to believe it even if you don't want to." After Lu Chengyang stepped aside first, others continued to make reports.
Despite laughing inwardly, the man on the dragon throne threw the inkstone down and shouted, "Shut up, everyone! This matter is unclear. General Bai's reputation will not tolerate your random accusations. Dismiss yourselves."
"Your Majesty is still too impulsive. Even with the facts right before his eyes, he still refuses to believe them."
"Your Majesty is kind and righteous. Considering General Bai's years of affection, it's normal for him to be unwilling to believe it."
...As soon as winter passed, Ye Wanwan's wonton stall was put on the schedule as she wished, and the first day of opening was also very lively.
"Look, look, these are freshly made big wontons, with thin skin and lots of meat, thin skin and lots of meat." Ye Bufan shouted at the top of his voice. He had practiced rolling the dough with his hands so fast that he was not delayed at all.
Ye Wanwan collected the empty dishes and wiped the table with a smile on her face. After a long time, she figured it out. She just had to live her life as it should be. As for the rest, she would just leave it to fate.
"How much are these wontons?" Passersby would ask from time to time. If the price was acceptable, they would come in and have a bowl of wontons. Once the wontons entered their mouths, how could they not be satisfied?
Take out the stuffed wontons one by one, pour in the cooked chicken soup, sprinkle with a few chopped green onions for garnish, it is so delicious.
When you bite into it again, you can see the real ingredients, and the aroma of meat fills your mouth, making you say it is so worth it. It is a very enjoyable and satisfying meal.
Ye Bufan rolled out the dough, Fang wrapped the wontons skillfully, and Wan, who was asked by Ye Wanwan to help, didn't talk much, but she was very serious when cooking the wontons.
"It's so good to make money!" Ye Wanwan held the money box with a smile on her face.
A bowl of wontons isn't expensive, but a little adds up. She's not bragging, but in this area, there's no other stall that does more business than hers! And this is just one way to make wontons. If you make more of them, there will be even more people coming.
Lin Xu'an was copying the book intently, and from time to time he glanced at Ye Wanwan who was counting money like a miser, smiled and shook his head, and his enthusiasm for copying became even greater.
"Lin Xu'an, just for half a month, that's one or two taels of silver! From now on, the Ye family will have a fixed income." Ye Wanwan strung the copper coins together, wrote down the number on the paper with great pride, and smiled.
After Lin Xu'an finished writing the last word, he stacked the dried ink sheets together and sat down next to Ye Wanwan. "Wanwan, you're amazing! I have to work harder in the future to be worthy of you."
"Pfft... Lin Xu'an, there's no such thing as worthy or unworthy. What are you talking about?" Ye Wanwan closed the box and looked at Lin Xu'an with some worry.
It's funny that the money was pushed back and forth. The Ye family didn't want it, saying that she earned it. She didn't want to keep it all for herself, so she said it should be left to the Ye family. The Lin family also said that they would just give Wan Shi some wages.
From her heart, she felt that Lin Xu'an was not that kind of person, not the kind of person who couldn't stand being outdone by others. But she was also afraid that if Lin Xu'an also took root in the thinking of this era, it would be difficult, too difficult.
