Chapter 224 Chunyu Is so Kind to You
When she saw Chunyu at noon, Ye Jiayao asked him in a low voice: "How did you feel after walking around the vinegar shop?"
Xia Chunyu calmly gave a four-word reply: "The whole body feels comfortable."
Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing, she must have been smoked! I put my nose to it and smelled it. It smelled sour.
"What about you? Do you recognize all the relatives?" Xia Chunyu asked in a low voice when he saw the people in this room.
Ye Jiayao's big eyes blinked mischievously: "It's almost the same, do you want me to introduce you?"
She thought Xia Chunyu was going to raise the white flag and surrender. This requires a little more patience. Unexpectedly, he nodded: "That's fine, so that I don't have to know who they are when they greet me later."
So Ye Jiayao introduced them one by one in a low voice.
"The one on the left of my grandmother is the second uncle, and the one on the right is the third uncle. Next to the second uncle are her eldest son, second aunt, and third daughter-in-law... and over there is the second son of my cousin's eldest son. Boy."
Ye Jiayao herself felt that he was talkative, and there were some seniors that she couldn't even compare to. I wonder if he fainted after listening to it.
It took a while to introduce all the six relatives and nine dependents in the room.
Then a shocking scene happened. When the show was over, Ye Jiayao actually saw Xia Chunyu chatting happily with several men from her aunts and uncles' families, and their titles of seniority were not confusing at all.
Ye Jiayao was a little shocked. Does this guy have such a good memory?
The time we get together is always beautiful but short. When it's time to say goodbye, even though she has been tired of socializing for the past two days, she is so happy in her heart. She is touched by everyone's enthusiasm, so when we say goodbye, Ye Jiayao cries. There was a lot of noise, and I was still crying when I got on the boat.
Xia Chunyu squeezed her hand in a funny way: "If you are so reluctant to let go, I will accompany you back every year from now on!"
"Are you kidding?" Ye Jiayao sniffed and asked.
He doesn't have many vacations a year, and the court is more stable. If something goes wrong, he won't be able to keep even this vacation. This is the first year they have been married. He spends almost all of his vacation with her, and his family also Don't say anything, but if this happens every year, Youshi will definitely feel unhappy.
Xia Chunyu raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes were gentle: "When have I ever lied to you? Moreover, I also like the Fang family very much. They are enthusiastic, generous, simple and innocent."
Ye Jiayao stopped crying and looked at him with misty eyes. The doting meaning in his deep black eyes was so obvious. Ye Jiayao hugged his waist and pressed her face against his chest, listening to him. The steady and powerful heartbeat, with a soft voice full of happiness, whispered: "Chunyu, you are so kind!"
It's really good, because I like her, I can tolerate the people of the Ye family, because I like her, and like the people she likes, because I like her, I can do so many things for her, and being able to meet such a person is hers Lucky.
Xia Chunyu's face was filled with a happy smile, and he hugged her tightly.
Back in Jinling, it was already the 13th day of the first lunar month. According to the custom in the Jiangnan area during the Huaisong Dynasty, lanterns started to be lit on the 13th day, and every household would hang up red lanterns. There were also lantern festivals, lion dances, and dragon lanterns, which were lively until the 18th day. It's over, this year is over. Go out when it's time to go out, go to work when it's time to go to work, go to school when it's time to go to school, and another busy year begins.
Zhao Qixuan asked Xiao Shao to send a message, saying that the Sixteenth Family was getting together. Ye Jiayao knew that they were going on a far journey.
The gathering place is still Tianshangju. Throughout the first month, Tianshangju's business has been very light, but compared with other restaurants, Tianshangju is pretty good.
The only people invited were Ye Jiayao, his wife and He Lianjing, plus Qi Xuan and Su Su, a total of five people.
After drinking for three rounds, Xia Chunyu asked: "How long will it take to go this time?"
Su Su still cherishes words like gold and rarely speaks unless he needs to make up his mind.
Zhao Qixuan said: "It will take at least half a year! It depends on whether things go smoothly over there. This time I am going to get a head start."
Ye Jiayao worried: "Is the imperial court sure that it will open border trade? What if it changes its mind again?"
Zhao Qixuan's business is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River and has formed a stable network system. It can be said that he can't count the money sitting at home, but now he has to start over in another place, and he has to give up his identity as the prince. Everything is at stake. It's for love. Ye Jiayao sighed, but also expressed blessings.
Xiao Jing said: "Probably not. I heard that the King of Nanyue will send envoys to Jinling in March. By then, it will basically be finalized."
Xia Chunyu also nodded: "The political situation in South Vietnam is unstable. I came here this time to form an alliance with Huaisong. Opening border trade is actually a matter of mutual benefit and should not be a problem."
"Hey, let me ask you two to join in the business. I, Zhao Qixuan, have a first-rate business sense and I have never done a loss-making business." Zhao Qixuan looked at the two of them with a smile.
Xiao Jing smiled and said, "I put all my spare money into it."
Xia Chunyu smiled: "I just invested in a mine, and I haven't paid back the money I borrowed from you! Forget it, I can only watch you get rich. When you stabilize there, Yaoyao and I will go over to play some time."
Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Take me with you if you go."
Xia Chunyu laughed and said nothing. He didn't want to take his love rival with him. They were traveling as a couple, so what's the point of bringing a love rival with them?
Zhao Qixuan's eyes lit up: "This is a mine! This is a treasure trove! Brother Chunyu, you are wrong. You are making a fortune by yourself in silence!"
Ye Jiayao chuckled and said, "I don't know whether I will make a profit or not! I just participated in a small share."
Su Yi opened his mouth and said slowly: "I heard that a large mine was discovered in Shanxi last year. The mining rights alone were sold for a sky-high price of three million, and one million will be paid every year in the future. I guess this is the mine you are talking about. !”
Xia Chunyu was surprised and immediately smiled and said: "Su Yi, you are well-informed!"
Su Yi smiled elegantly: "I'm just bored!"
People who were supposed to be academics now no longer do academics and are studying the ways of doing business. However, people with smart minds can do everything better than others.
Everyone chatted some more about home affairs. Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi had to go back to prepare for the departure on the 18th. Xiao Jing had to go back to the Ministry of War to handle official documents. Simon's war didn't care whether it was the Chinese New Year or whether you wanted to take a vacation. Battle reports were sent almost every day. Sometimes it's good news, sometimes it's bad news.
Xia Chunyu saw that it was still early, so he took Ye Jiayao to enjoy the lanterns.
"It turns out that Xiao Jing is the most idle one among us. He Lianxuan always had a headache about this matter at first, but now he has become a very busy man." Xia Chunyu chuckled to himself.
Ye Jiayao sighed: "Xiao Jing has indeed become a lot more mature and stable."
Xia Chunyu felt that this topic was not a good one, so he quickly diverted his attention: "Yao Yao, there are lantern riddles over there, should we try it?"
Ye Jiayao is good at guessing lantern riddles!
The two walked around the lantern festival, and Ye Jiayao took a stack of puzzles in her hand.
Xia Chunyu was stunned: "Are you sure you've guessed it all?"
Ye Jiayao proudly held up the puzzle in her hand: "What's this? Last time at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, I guessed more than this."
Xia Chunyu thought for a while, Mid-Autumn Festival? Didn't he use Liu Yiyi to make her angry that day? She left angrily, and then went to a lantern festival to guess lantern riddles?
He thought she would run away and cry! It feels like a punch has been hit on cotton, so powerless! This woman with strong nerves.
"Your interest was still so high that day?" Xia Chunyu snorted.
Ye Jiayao had already forgotten about that incident. She didn't want to remember unhappy things, but seeing his unhappy expression, she recalled it again.
She glanced at him sideways and said conspiratorially, "You want me to settle old scores with you, right?"
Xia Chunyu felt a cold wind seeping through his clothes, and his back felt chilly. He coughed twice and said, "It's nothing."
Ye Jiayao didn't want to let him go so easily, so he finally brought it up himself.
"Tell me the truth, did you do anything sorry to me with that Liu Yiyi that day?" Ye Jiayao asked forcefully.
Xia Chunyu shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, absolutely not, I can swear it."
"Not that day, what about before? What about after?"
"It's never happened before. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't choose what to eat." Xia Chunyu said.
"You are not selective about what you eat when you are hungry? You spent a lot of money for her. Is this called not choosing food when you are hungry?" Ye Jiayao has always been worried about the 10,000 taels.
Xia Chunyu looked embarrassed: "I told you that she is the daughter of an old friend, so she has the right to help her father."
"Hmph! If you dare to do anything sorry for me, I will make you look good." Ye Jiayao took the opportunity to threaten.
"Oh, let's not mention the past. What we want to look at is the future, right? It's not worth it to keep thinking about the past and make yourself unhappy." Xia Chunyu pulled her forward: " Go and redeem your prize."
Ye Jiayao let him go angrily. After a while, the two of them came out with a lot of prizes, and asked Song Qi to hold them. Xia Chunyu said: "I'll guess too, I can't let you be proud of yourself."
Ye Jiayao disagreed: "Then go ahead and let me see how capable you are as a great hero who can settle the world with his pen and decide the world on horseback."
Song Qi cried sadly: "Master, how many guesses can you make? The little one only has two hands!"
Xia Chunyu glared at him: "Stupid, you can't put these on the carriage first?"
Song Qi said oh and went away holding the prize in his arms.
Ye Jiayao really didn't expect that Xia Chunyu was also a bit capable. She guessed sixteen, and he took sixteen puzzles in exchange for a bunch of prizes.
It can be said that we returned home with a full load.
As the carriage reached the river, Ye Jiayao suddenly remembered something. She opened the curtain and looked out, and she saw the little girl from last time.
"Stop the car."
Song Qi immediately reined in the reins.
Ye Jiayao jumped off the carriage.
"Yao Yao, what are you going to do?" Xia Chunyu followed.
Ye Jiayao walked up to the little girl and said, "Sister, how can I sell this lantern?"
"Five copper coins a cup."
Ye Jiayao took out a handful of copper coins and was not familiar with counting them: "Give me two lotus lanterns."
