Chapter 36 Gambling

The third prince Liu Heng, who was labeled as a degenerate, was in a bad mood.

He didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but Ye Ci didn't avoid anyone when he spoke. He couldn't eavesdrop even if he didn't want to. It was really difficult for him.

"Ahem..."

A slight cough reminded the Ye family brothers and sisters who were talking to restrain themselves.

Ye Erlang was so frightened that he froze on the spot. He was so embarrassed after being caught saying bad things about others. He wished he could disappear where he was.

Ye Ci was frank and frank, without the slightest hint of guilt.

"Has your highness returned to your old habits?" she asked with concern.

Liu Heng: "..."

In terms of thickness of skin, he seems to be a bit behind Ye Ci.

He pretended that nothing happened and asked directly without giving any excuses in advance: "When will Erlang prepare to leave for the capital? Your Highness will ask the guards to escort you down the mountain."

Ye Erlang: "Grass people, grass people..."

Liu Heng saw hesitation and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Erlang has changed his mind and doesn't plan to go down the mountain? That's fine. Erlang will stay with His Highness and wait for orders. The next time Lord Kang goes up the mountain again, Erlang will block it for His Highness."

go back."

"The ordinary people may live up to His Highness's high expectations."

"So, do Erlang want to stay or go back to the capital?" Liu Heng smiled half-heartedly, and gave Ye Ci a look to let her figure it out on her own.

Ye Ci waved her hands slightly, saying that she would not participate in this matter.

After such a long time of commotion, she got hungry and planned to go to the kitchen to see what was delicious. Her mouth and tongue had been bitter recently, so she stewed a rock-sugar pear and drank it for two days to moisten her throat.

It's the season when pears are ripe, ready-made pears.

Having tasted pears with improved varieties in later generations, the native pears of this era seemed to Ye Ci to have a very average taste. The sweetness was obviously not enough, and the astringency filled the mouth.

She said to Wu Zhuangtou: "Pear varieties must be improved. With the experience of grafting grapes, we will graft pears next year."

“But where to find quality varieties for grafting?”

"The old way is to find a businessman and ask them to help us bring some high-quality fruit seedlings from Lingnan. The price is easy to negotiate."

The pear tasted slightly astringent, but Ye Ci bit it down in disgust while chewing it, a typical taste of the pear.

After eating two pears in a row, she burped, and finally there was something in her stomach to drive away her hunger.

Choose a large example and dig a small hole in the top, big enough to fit a spoon in.

Use a spoon to hollow out the middle of the pear, put the sliced ​​pear flesh on the bottom, then add rock sugar, put it in a bowl and steam it directly in the pot.

In about a quarter of an hour, the rock sugar snow pear will be stewed.

If you find this method troublesome, you can directly peel the pears and cut them into pieces, add rock sugar, put them in a bowl and steam them.

Purely natural rock sugar pear, sweet but not greasy, moisturizing the throat and clearing the lungs, a good product for health care.

Liu Heng always shows up on time.

"The rock sugar snow pear is so good!" With a smile on his face, he picked up the spoon and started drinking.

Ye Ci: "..."

Forget it, she doesn't care about him.

He glanced behind him, but didn't see Ye Erlang, so he asked: "What is Ye Erlang's plan? Have you guys reached an agreement?"

Liu Heng drank a rock sugar snow pear and said, "Ye Erlang will return to the capital tomorrow to run some errands for His Highness."

Huh?

This style of painting is not quite right.

Ye Ci was very curious, "You plan to use him? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Liu Heng took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, "Be prepared to say that he is just running an errand for His Highness and is not considered one of His Highness's people."

"He is so obedient. If you ask him to return to the capital, he will go back?"

"Otherwise?" Liu Heng asked with a smile, "He is already frightened out of his wits. Even if His Highness asks him to stay, would he dare? Return to the capital as soon as possible for peace of mind."

oh!

Ye Ci understood clearly and asked smoothly: "Are the others going back to the capital with him?"

"have no idea."

Liu Heng spread his hands, he really didn’t know.

At this moment, Ye Erlang is discussing with the three girls of the Ye family. They will know soon what they will decide.



"If I don't leave, my second brother shouldn't leave either."

The second girl, Ye Weiyun, is almost furious. She has never seen such a cowardly man with such soft ears.

If someone scares me, I will return to the capital without any idea.

How can such a person inherit the Hou Mansion and shoulder the heavy burden of the Hou Mansion?

Ye Erlang was determined to return to the capital at this moment, "There is no benefit in staying here. I am neither a man nor a warrior, and I have no ability to help His Highness. If I stay here, I might get into trouble."

You are all the same. Your Highness should maintain your health and not be close to women. Instead of wasting your youth, it is better to return to Beijing as soon as possible and make other plans. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined over time, which will not be good for you."

"In the final analysis, the second brother is just afraid of Jin Wuwei. But in the eyes of others, you are already a member of His Highness the Third Highness. It doesn't matter whether you return to the capital or not. It's better to stay with His Highness the Third Highness and become familiar with each other. As for us

, if your reputation is really ruined, you can only accept your fate."

The second girl, Ye Weiyun, lowered her head, revealing her slender neck. Her ears were red, and she was probably feeling a little happy in her heart.

Ye Erlang was so angry that he stamped his feet, "Second sister is confused. Do you think His Highness will be responsible for you if your reputation is ruined? You are wishful thinking. Your Highness is a nobleman of Tianhuang. Don't say that he didn't accept you, even if he did accept you, another day

It will be a matter of a blink of an eye to abandon you like worn out shoes.

You use your reputation to manipulate men. This method works against ordinary aristocratic families, but against His Highness, you will only suffer the loss."

"Why does the second brother think that I will definitely suffer?" Ye Weiyun was not convinced.

"Because you are a woman, and women are inherently weak."

"But……"

"No but. Tomorrow I will go down the mountain and return to the capital. Either you follow me back to the capital, or you stay alone. But you have to think clearly. Whether you stay alone, whether you live or die, is up to you.

It’s your own ability. If there is an accident and you lose your life, don’t blame me."

"Why did you lose your life?" Ye Weiyun bit her thin lips lightly. She was unwilling to give in. She also wanted to take a gamble.

"What if? Second sister, you are of marriageable age. If you continue to stay here, you are gambling that His Highness will take pity on you. However, in my opinion, His Highness has no intention or care for you, and you cannot win the bet. Your Highness?

Why should he favor you? He has so many choices, why should he choose someone who is always holding him back?"

Ye Weiyun didn't like hearing this.

"Why am I always holding you back? Second brother, don't talk nonsense."

"Because you are the daughter of the third eldest brother, because the Marquis lives in our main house. And because our Ye family is dispensable to His Highness. His Highness doesn't even care about the Ye family, so how can he care about you and me?"

Ye Erlang also has some cleverness, and he can still see some problems clearly. It's just that the pattern is too small, and if he takes a longer view, he can't see clearly in the fog.

Ye Weiyun argued hard, "Your Highness doesn't like me, so why do you like Ye Ci? I'm not better than Ye Ci."

Ye Erlang sighed, "Ye Ci can make His Highness get well, can you? If you don't have the ability, don't fight with Ye Ci. Let's take a step back and say that in the future, His Highness will be in good health and return to the capital." Ye Erlang sighed.

As for Ci, if nothing happens, he will continue to stay in this mountain.

But I will persuade the old lady and mother to agree to take Ye Ci back to Beijing. She is the fourth girl of the Ye family and cannot stay in the mountains forever."

"Ye Ci won't go with His Highness?" Ye Weiyun was extremely surprised.

Ye Erlang was even more surprised, "Why did Ye Ci go with His Highness? She is the lone star of the evil god. How could the royal family want a lonely star of the evil god to stay with His Highness all the year round. Don't think too much. Ye Ci and His Highness are the doctors and patients.

relation."

Pooh!
