Chapter 335 Buying Gifts
"You, kid, you are now serving the king, so you should be careful when you go out."
"It's just an empty name!"
Speaking of this, Lu Changqing felt a little disappointed.
On the surface, he was also a prince of the Daliang Dynasty.
But in fact, apart from the initial reward, the emperor had never even summoned him alone.
The palace did not arrange the mansion that the prince should have, and he was not even awarded a position without real power.
In Lu Changqing's opinion, the emperor's decision to appoint him as the loyal king might have been just a whim.
If the Lu family had not originally had a wealthy background, he would probably have become the poorest prince in the Daliang Dynasty.
Seeing Lu Changqing's expression, Ye Xinran comforted him, "It's amazing that you can get such a reward at such a young age. Looking at the Liang Dynasty, how many children of noble families can be named princes at your age?
I believe there are many people in the court who are jealous of you.
For you, if you want to achieve further achievements, you can either study hard and pass the imperial examinations to impress everyone.
Or just keep working on what you are good at, and don't forget why you were named the King of Qin."
"Sister, I know!"
Facing Ye Xinran's teachings, Lu Changqing quickly said, "I have been researching new farm tools these days. I have almost finished researching the sowing machine you told me about last time, and I am working with Chen Yan to draw it!"
Ye Xinran nodded with relief, "I'm glad you're interested! You have to take good care of me while I'm away, and don't let me worry too much."
"I got it, sister!" Lu Changqing promised.
"I really didn't fight today, nor did I do anything out of line. I just accidentally fell into the pond in the Rui Palace, and I took a bath and changed my clothes in the Rui Palace."
"You are so careless! How did you fall into the pond?"
Leng Qingyu immediately became worried.
"Well... well, it's a long story. The second young lady sent away the servant who was leading the way for me, and I wandered around by myself and fell into the pond.
But Princess Yuerong has apologized to me, so it’s nothing.”
It turned out to be related to Chen Yuerong.
Leng Qingyu and Ye Xinran looked at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes at the same time.
"Sister, don't talk about me. Are all your things ready?"
"It's all ready. Mom helped me prepare it!"
Ye Xinran answered.
"By the way, what is the secret you just mentioned? Can't you tell me?"
Lu Changqing thought of what he had just said.
"It's no use telling you."
Leng Qingyu knocked on his head again, "Don't worry about it, kid. Go back and change your clothes and clean up. Look at what you look like now!"
Lu Changqing rubbed his head and said, "Mom, if you keep hitting me, I will really become a child."
He turned around aggrievedly and went out to change his clothes, but did not ask about the secret again.
Since mother doesn't want to say it, it is definitely not convenient for him to know.
Lu Changqing's fuss for a while actually alleviated Leng Qingyu's worries a lot.
She looked at Ye Xinran and warned: "No matter what happens on the road, don't be stubborn. Remember, there is always a way to save the mountains."
Ye Xinran held her hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, I have never been a person without sense of propriety."
Having said what she needed to say a million times, Leng Qingyu knew that if she continued, she would be annoying, so she stared at Ye Xinran's face carefully, reached out to help her tidy up the hair on her forehead, and said, "Mom is proud to have such a good child like you.
If I could do it all over again, I would have kept you by my side since childhood, given you all my love, and not had to be so stubborn. "
"Mom, if I could do it all over again, I would also like to grow up by your side forever."
Ye Xinran leaned her head on Leng Qingyu's shoulder and said worriedly: "During the time when I'm not in the capital, mother must take good care of herself.
I wonder what mother is going to do with Ning Yuer and her son?"
Speaking of these two people, Leng Qingyu sneered, "The Third Prince is now guarding the imperial mausoleum, but the forces under him are still there. These two people cannot die or be released for the time being."
"So what should we do? It's not safe to keep it around, right?"
Ye Xinran was a little worried.
"I'm going out this time and I'm taking Ding Qiao and Zhang Qian with me. Who will stay home to protect Mom's safety?"
Leng Qingyu tapped Ye Xinran's forehead and said, "Do you really think your mother is a vegetarian?
Your grandfather started from scratch in the beginning, and so many people wanted to kill him. How could the Leng family not have any means of protecting themselves?
However, the safety of the mansion has always been protected by Lu Tingen's secret guards over the years, so it is naturally inconvenient for the Leng family to take action.
"Does the Leng family still have experts?"
This really broke Ye Xinran's cognition.
She had been in the capital for so long, but she hadn't found any trace of strangers.
"Then after I leave, mother will let these people protect you?"
"If there is any danger, I will call them out." Leng Qingyu explained.
"I have written to your grandfather and asked him to send two people to guard the capital."
After hearing Leng Qingyu say this, Ye Xinran finally felt relieved.
"As for Ning Yu'er and her son," Leng Qingyu said, "it's not safe to keep them in the mansion. I plan to send them to the prison in two days. There are food and water there, and they are guarded. It will be safer than in the mansion."
"Send him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice?"
Ye Xinran asked.
Leng Qingyu nodded, "The new Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is a man of King Rui. I have already asked King Rui for his opinion on this matter. Send the two of them to prison for theft. There will be someone there to guard them.
When you return from the Northern Frontier and have dealt with the Third Prince’s affairs, the two of them will have their final destination.”
"It's a good thing that they have been allowed to live longer."
Ye Xinran said.
Leng Qingyu smiled, "Sometimes, it is more comfortable to die than to live.
I don’t want them to die too quickly, otherwise, how would they know how dangerous this world is! "
After hearing this, Ye Xinran finally felt relieved.
She had been too busy in recent days, and as soon as she relaxed, she felt sleepy.
He fell into bed and fell asleep.
Leng Qingyu helped her tidy up the quilt with concern, blew out the candle, and then went to bed to rest.
However, Ye Xinran didn't sleep for long.
When the moon was halfway up the sky, she opened her eyes and suddenly sat up.
Leng Qingyu was sleeping soundly beside him.
Even in the darkness, one could still make out her still young and beautiful face.
Ye Xinran looked for a while, waved her hand, and quietly walked into the space.
In the warehouse, the things Leng Qingyu bought for her were automatically classified and placed on the shelves.
Ye Xinran looked at the supplies inside, thinking about what else to buy.
After the calculation, she walked into the laboratory again to check the machines that were running at high speed.
All the machines in the laboratory were used by her.
She was about to go to Northern Xinjiang, so she wanted to leave some more Snow Face Cream for Li Mo, and also prepare some frostbite cream.
Two days ago, she took inventory of the medicines in the warehouse and found that the reserves of cold medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs were quite large.
However, you should also prepare more medicine kits to prevent colds.
The closer the time got, the more nervous she became.
I always feel like something is not ready.
Looking at the medicine packs that were constantly being produced, she could only comfort herself: no matter how much you prepare, there may be omissions, so just let things take their course.
After figuring this out, she finally relaxed.
She left the laboratory only after making sure that all the machines were functioning properly.
Leng Qingyu was still sleeping soundly.
Seeing that it was still early, Ye Xinran leaned against her mother and took another nap.
As soon as it was daybreak, she got up.
Today is the last day before departure.
Ye Xinran decided to go to the street to buy some gifts for the folks in Yunbian Village.
As soon as I arrived at the first inn, I heard the voices of the headman and others talking.
"Waiter, I know you are doing this for our own good, but we are not going anywhere today. The New Year is almost over, and we need to go back to celebrate the New Year."
"The shopkeeper said that you would have a good meal and fun! Why are you leaving right after you got here? Today he said he would take you to the temple to pray and visit the temple fair!"
“No, no, although our Yuntong County is small, the Guanyin Temple there is also very effective. Besides, if we come all the way to worship Buddha and the wish comes true, we will be blamed by the Buddha if we can’t fulfill it.”
"If you don't like the temple fair, we can go somewhere else. There are many fun places in the capital!"
The waiter wanted to persuade them, but the village head and his men seemed determined to leave and would not listen at all.
Ye Xinran walked in and saw several people sitting around a table.
On the table was the leftovers of their breakfast.
Seeing Ye Xinran come in, the waiter stood up immediately.
"Boss, these guys refuse to go out today no matter what you say."
"I see!"
Ye Xinran waved her hand and found a seat to sit down.
The head of the village hurriedly said, "Xinran, are you ready? You don't need to worry about us."
“King Rui is preparing everything over there, and I have already prepared all my own things.
We haven't played for a few days, why are we leaving?" Ye Xinran asked.
The head of the village repeated what he had just said, "The New Year is getting closer and closer, and we have troubled you a lot these days, so after discussing it, we decided to go back."
Ye Xinran calculated the time and said, "It's almost time, so let's buy some gifts today and leave tomorrow."
"What to buy! We've already bought everything you want."
Erzhu said with a smile: "Yes, I bought and sold it. I bought a bracelet for my wife yesterday. She will definitely like it."
“I bought it for my mom, too!”
"Now that you've bought everything, I'll buy you some more. You have a car anyway, so you can take more back."
"No, no, no, I've already spent a lot of money these past two days, how can I let you spend more!"
The village head refused again and again.
Ye Xinran said: "Uncle Lizheng, please don't be polite to me.
I live in Beijing now and have no time to take care of the business in Yunbian Village.
Also, the herbs I planted on the mountain will need someone to help me take care of them in the spring of next year, and all of this will depend on the efforts of my fellow villagers.
So I should spend some money.”
Speaking of the herbs on the mountain, the village head suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that a tiger suddenly came to the East Mountain some time ago."
"tiger?"
Ye Xinran was startled and suddenly remembered Hu Zi, whom she had rescued before.
"Is that tiger missing half of its ear?"
"Who dares to come near?"
The village head said, "When everyone heard the tiger's roar, even Dongshan didn't dare to approach.
Originally, everyone was worried that the tiger might hurt people, so they dug several traps at the foot of the mountain.
But gradually everyone discovered that this tiger would not hurt anyone at all.”
"By the way, sister-in-law, that tiger has been to your house!"
Erzhu added.
"You went to my house?"
"Yes!"
The village head said, "We went in at night when it was quiet. It happened to be snowing a little that day, and we only found out about it the next day when we saw the tiger's paw prints."
At this point, the village head seemed a little puzzled, "Strangely enough, the tiger didn't move anything after entering the house, not even one of the chickens in the backyard was lost.
I don't know what it went in for.
But since then, people are not so scared anymore, and everyone says that this tiger has its own rules.”
After hearing this, Ye Xinran was basically certain that the tiger the headman was talking about was the one she had rescued.
It went to its own home, perhaps to look for someone.
Seeing that I was not there, it went back up the mountain.
"Uncle Village Chief, I might recognize this tiger." Ye Xinran said.
"Since it doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't come to the village to harm livestock, you must not do anything to it!
Just let it stay on the mountain and don’t disturb it.”
"Okay, okay, since you know it, that's even better!" The village head quickly agreed, "It lives on the mountain, so it can help you guard the herbs on the mountain. But we don't dare to go up there to work!"
"Then let's talk about it after I get back."
Ye Xinran thought for a moment and said.
Anyway, she still has enough herbs in her laboratory, and she will have no time to produce Snow Face Cream after going to Northern Xinjiang, so this can be put aside for now.
"Xinran!"
The head of the village looked at Ye Xinran with loving eyes, "You don't have to worry about anything in the village, let alone the three children. You must take good care of yourself when you go out this time.
All of us in the village are waiting for the day when you come back!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Li Zheng," Ye Xinran said calmly, "I'm going there on an important mission this time, and I will never let anything happen to me."
Ye Xinran's words made the village head feel a little relieved.
But he didn't have time to think about it, Ye Xinran said: "I took the time out today to buy gifts for everyone, Uncle Lizheng, let them have fun by themselves, you come with me.
When we bring the stuff back to the village, you can help distribute it to everyone."
“I said I won’t buy it.”
The village head wanted to refuse, but Ye Xinran said, "Uncle village head, this is not for you alone, it is for everyone in the village.
Everyone has contributed a lot to the food collection this time. Uncle Lizheng, you must know this.
I will distribute the gifts I bought according to everyone's contribution after I go back. As for how much to give, it's up to you, Uncle Lizheng."
After saying that, Ye Xinran didn't give the headman a chance to refuse and pulled him out the door.
