Chapter 231 Wang Yanzhi's Happiness
Chapter 231 Wang Yanzhi's Happiness
The next day, Li Taifu asked for leave from Emperor Qingyuan for a period of time due to illness.
The mansion on the outskirts of Shangjing that the emperor had previously bestowed upon him was now put to use.
It is located in the center of Shangjing and Lanling County. The journey between the two places takes no more than half an incense stick of time. Moreover, it is backed by mountains and next to paddy fields, with a wide view and fresh air. It can be said to be a good place to spend the rest of your life.
Now that Li Changan had the blessing of being the father-in-law of the Southern Xinjiang Emperor, he was much more assertive in front of Emperor Qingyuan. In addition, he had long intended to retire, so he thought about staying in that house for a while longer.
After retiring from the court, he discussed Mu Yao's future residence with Xu Xiang and Qingcheng. Xu Yuanming saw that Li Changan was willing to live with Mu Yao in the suburbs for a long time. Although he was unwilling, he didn't want to offend his in-laws. After all, he was not wrong about one thing. The daughter-in-law had many husbands. If she lived in Xu's house for a long time, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others.
The Helian family was not a royal family, nor did anyone hold high positions, so they were not to be feared. However, Wang Yanzhi, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was extraordinary. He was highly appreciated by Emperor Qingyuan and had the emperor's support behind him, so Xu Yuanming had to think carefully.
On the way back, he specifically told Xu Qingcheng that if it was not necessary, she and Yaoyao could live in the suburbs of Shangjing. But Xu Qingcheng rejected the proposal outright. The court knew why the house was given to Li Taifu. He would never live there for a day in his life.
Seeing that his son had a gloomy face all the way, Xu Yuanming wanted to say some comforting words but swallowed them back silently and shook his head.
Today, when the court was adjourned, the Dali Temple Minister Wang Yanzhi also had a gloomy face throughout.
His mood had been extremely bad these days, and the air pressure around him had dropped to the lowest point in the world, causing some colleagues who wanted to approach him to talk to him to silently retract their steps.
Mu Yao had returned to Shangjing for many days, but she still hadn't cared about him. Yesterday, he heard that his wife had brought a handsome and unparalleled exiled fairy boy to Shangshuiyunjian for dinner, which made him furious and unable to sleep all night.
After returning to the mansion, Jiang Fuqiu saw that her son was still unhappy, and couldn't help but say, "Shaoyou, you are sulking by yourself, does Yaoyao know? Your feet are on your body, so why don't you go to your house to look for them?"
She knew that her son had a strong sense of self-esteem, but this time, it was obviously put in the wrong place.
Wang Yanzhi played with the jasmine flowers in the garden without saying a word.
Jiang Fuqiu looked at his stubborn attitude, her face darkened, and she said angrily, "Shaoyou, if you don't change, you will suffer. In addition to Xu Qingcheng, Helian Yun and Xie Ci, I have also seen Wei Langjun, who smiles like the bright moon and looks like a god. You should go and meet him if you have the chance!"
Sometimes it is a mistake to protect children too well. Just like Wang Yanzhi now, he has a stubborn personality and is not good at adapting. He doesn't know how to argue when encountering things, and only knows to vent his anger on flowers and plants. Thinking about it, his anger rose by five points.
"Are you going to the Taifu Mansion to pay your respects to your father-in-law now, or do you want your mother and father to take you there?" Jiang Fuqiu shot a sinister look at Wang Yanzhi. If he dared to say no, she would beat him until he agreed.
Jiang Fuqiu now has four husbands, including Liu Baichuan. Those with a slightly colder temper are not liked by their wives. Over time, their feelings gradually faded and became as clear as a pool of water. They could only get together a few times, let alone have any children.
"Mom, let me think about it." Wang Yanzhi was still furious, his eyes red with grievance.
"What is there to think about? Didn't you want to marry her desperately at that time? I lost my face and fought for you, but now you are being hypocritical. You were so sick and tired that you didn't want to eat or drink. You should go and invite your wife back today! Otherwise, get out of here. Go wherever you want. I have to stay alive to teach Feizhi."
Jiang Fuqiu was deeply self-doubting because of her eldest son's personality. She felt that she needed to change her approach to educating her youngest son.
Wang Yanzhi knew that his mother was serious, so he said no more and nodded in agreement.
The jasmine flowers in my hand broke and fell instantly, and my chest was filled with ups and downs, and I felt suffocated and uncomfortable.
Who promised to cook delicious food for him all his life?
The number of reps I have done so far does not exceed five fingers.
Before her wedding with Helian Yun, Mu Yao went to Lanling County for nearly a month, and then went out with Mr. Shen for a whole month. I finally waited for her to come back, but she never showed up.
She has been to Xu Mansion and Shuiyunjian. Mopin Pavilion is so close, but she didn’t come back to take a look?
A salty taste escaped from his throat, but he swallowed it back. As expected, the love that comes from charity is the cheapest!
However, what Wang Yanzhi and Jiang Fuqiu did not expect was that just as they were about to go out, Mu Yao came to Mopin Pavilion with a food box, which made Jiang Fuqiu very excited.
The moment Wang Yanzhi saw Mu Yao, he turned his back, causing Jiang Fuqiu to shudder violently. She was shocked by her son's childish behavior.
Mu Yao was also slightly stunned, the words on her lips hung in her throat, and she stood there.
"Yaoyao, Yanzhi has been looking forward to your return these days. He has lost his appetite and has been unable to sleep. He... is so happy!" Jiang Fuqiu said to smooth things over.
Mu Yao understood, and tightened her grip on the food box, saying, "Shao You, I made your favorite yam pastry."
She walked closer to her son and noticed that the tip of his straight nose was stained red, and her heart seemed to be stabbed by something.
"Hurry up and bring your wife into the house." Jiang Fuqiu raised her voice three points higher.
Mu Yao's expression froze, and she freed one hand to hold Wang Yanzhi's arm.
Wang Yanzhi suppressed his emotions, took the food box from Mu Yao, and returned to Qingshuang Garden together.
The jasmine flowers in the garden are blooming more vigorously. The simple and elegant white jade balls have a cool fragrance that permeates the bones and is infinitely quiet.
Today, the food box contains not only yam crisps, but also hawthorn cake, Qingfeng rice and eight mini bamboo shoots and meat buns.
Wang Yanzhi's eyes showed surprise.
"I thought of bringing some for my parents, so I made a little more." Mu Yao smiled and picked up a meat bun and handed it to him.
Wang Yanzhi's heart leaped with joy at his wife's change of heart, and the displeasure on his brows instantly faded a lot. But he soon became entangled again.
"Yanzhi, is it not delicious?" Mu Yao asked doubtfully. She was very confident in her skill in making dumplings. Could it be that the weather was too hot and the minced meat had changed its taste?
Just as he was about to pick up the jade chopsticks to take a bite, Wang Yanzhi said, "It tastes very good."
Erlang's emotional ups and downs caught Mu Yao's attention. Looking at the handsome face she hadn't seen for a long time, his pair of dazzling eyes like glass were much dimmer today, and the thick crow feathers were trembling slightly, making the pupils look even deeper like the sea.
Ever since she came to Mopin Pavilion, Erlang had only looked at her straight in the eye once. Even if Mu Yao was slow-witted, she could still sense Erlang's displeasure and dissatisfaction with her.
Mu Yao stared at his handsome face for a while, then burst out laughing.
Wang Yanzhi looked up in confusion, and the emotion in his eyes seemed to have changed again - he became even angrier.
Mu Yao pulled a chair over, leaned against his body and said with a smile: "Shaoyou, did Dad say anything to you today?"
"No." Wang Yanzhi's gaze paused for a moment, and his expression suddenly became focused.
After the morning court session, Grand Tutor Li left the palace with Prime Minister Xu and Xu Qingcheng without saying anything to him in particular.
Mu Yao put her arms around Wang Yanzhi's waist, pressed her body against his chest, and smiled, "The emperor gave Dad a house located in the suburbs of Shangjing a few days ago. Tomorrow, Dad and I will move there. You can go with us then. It's not far from the palace, so it won't affect your attendance at court."
"I want to live with you?" Wang Yanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and his big palm with bulging veins suddenly pinched the delicate girl's slender waist, and his voice became tense.
"Yes, only you." Mu Yao's eyes were curved, as clear as jasmine, and her face was as radiant as a pearl with a halo.
"just me?"
Happiness came so suddenly that Wang Yanzhi could hardly believe what he heard. Was he dreaming?
Does the wife mean that the two of them can see each other every day and live together in the future?
"Shaoyou, you are the only one who can live there." Mu Yao told the truth. Xu Qingcheng would definitely not live there. Wei Wushang, Shen Chutang, Helian Yun and Xiao Douxue all have houses in Lanling County, which are only a cup of tea away by car, so they would definitely not live there. Moreover, Wei Wushang also has a house in the suburbs of Shangjing, which is closer to the house given by Emperor Qingyuan.
"Okay!" Wang Yanzhi nodded in agreement with a quick breath. How could there be any haze in his heart? The sun was shining brightly.
The person in my arms smiles like a flower, with ripples in her eyes. She is extremely charming and intoxicating.
The man's chest and abdomen gradually tightened, and his vision became hazy. His fingers brushed across the delicate girl's jade neck, pressing inch by inch until they reached the white collarbone and opened the collar, and the red jade agate suddenly jumped into his eyes.
After being stunned for a moment, he gently stroked the engagement gem.
"I wear it every day." Mu Yao smiled and raised her soft hand to cover his big hand.
The boy's expression was moved, he choked in his throat, and with a little awkwardness he pressed two soft lips against hers and ate up the lip balm.
The person in his arms softened, which further stimulated the boy's plunder. Suddenly, hot kisses fell one after another.
The boy's eyes became extremely deep, and roses bloomed all over the girl's body.
The tide receded, but the fire remained. The red candle was cut off, and the west window was closed. Morning and night, I left late, and only had the charming beauty to myself.
After a night of heavy rain, the day broke.
After Mu Yao returned to the Xu Mansion and said goodbye to Xu Qingcheng, she went to a house in the suburbs with her father and Wei Wushang.
The house was called "Xia Si Garden".
Li Changan's eyes suddenly narrowed. He and Liu Baichuan had been painting friends for many years. Once when he mentioned Jiang Fuqiu, he let slip that he called her by her maiden name "Sisi".
I wonder if Wang Yanzhi is the child of Emperor Qingyuan and Jiang Fuqiu? If this is true, then all the favoritism and excessive love make sense.
"Dad, why don't you come in?" Mu Yao saw him staring at the plaque hanging high above the house and standing still.
"Dad felt that these three characters were written with vigorous brushstrokes and full of spirit, so he looked at them a few more times." Li Changan retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, and decided not to tell his daughter first. After all, this was just his guess, and the royal bloodline should not be discussed or judged at will.
It seems that Qingcheng's pride is really in the right place. If he agrees to live together, it might anger the emperor.
Li Changan had originally planned to have several sons-in-law come to stay from time to time, but now that was no longer possible. Only Wang Yanzhi, the son-in-law, could live in this house in peace.
The paddy fields surrounding the Xiasi Garden on three sides have all been reclaimed and planted with fruits, garlic, rice and wild rice stems. All of this is thanks to Xu Ruchen.
Mu Yao looked at the green all around with joy, truly feeling the beauty of this otherworldly world.
The wind is light, the clouds are clear, golden light is pouring down, the fragrance of rice is mixed with the unique fragrance of wet mud, and the strong breath of nature makes her forget all her worries in the blink of an eye. She only wants to throw herself into the embrace of the fields and live forever in this beautiful picture.
Wu Zhongxun, who was inspecting the planting not far away, vaguely saw the figure of the boss. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and looked again. It was really the boss!
He hurried over to greet her. Mu Yao saw that it was Wu Zhongxun, the one in charge of purchasing at Shuiyunjian, and said with a smile, "Uncle Wu, you guys have worked hard here. The fields are already thriving, and it won't be long before we can supply the house."
Wu Zhongxun laughed heartily: "That's right, thanks to your good words, the harvest will surely be good."
"Uncle Wu, is Brother Ruchen here today?" Mu Yao looked around. The place was too big, and it was not easy to find someone.
"The eldest master came yesterday, but not today. Don't worry, sir. The eldest master comes here often to check on the progress of the planting."
Xu Ruchen is so reliable! Mu Yao nodded with satisfaction, thinking about giving him an additional 20% bonus on top of the agreed profit-sharing agreement.
Now Mu Yao is planning to live here permanently, and has started planning to open a branch in Lanling County.
Wei Wushang has several shops in this area. He will go back and look through the land deeds to see which one has a superior geographical location. When the time comes, he will go to build the restaurant and let Furong come over to take charge.
At sunset, Wang Yanzhi arrived at Xiasi Garden with several carts of luggage. When he entered the garden, he happened to meet Wei Wushang who was leaving the mansion.
The two looked at each other and were both stunned for a moment. Wang Yanzhi bowed and greeted, "Is this Mr. Wei?"
Wei Wushang raised his eyebrows slightly, returned the greeting, said a few simple words, and strode away.
He was very busy at the moment, busy moving. Fortunately, he had foresight at the time and spent money without thinking, which allowed him to find a good farm.
The manor was called "Luosu Garden". He had originally thought the name was too funny, but after seeing the beautiful scenery of the mountains and fields today, he felt that the name was quite appropriate. From now on, he would not even need to take a carriage to come to Xiasi Garden. He could arrive in two or three leaps, and it would only take half an incense stick of time to walk there. It was very close.
With the arrival of Wang Yanzhi, the Reverie Garden suddenly became warm and had the feeling of a small home.
Li Changan refused to live in the main courtyard no matter what and insisted on leaving the place for the young couple.
Wang Yanzhi rarely spent time with Mu Yao, and now that they were in the same room, he felt a little reserved. He carefully paid attention to the details and Mu Yao's living habits, fearing that he might displease her if he was not careful.
Mu Yao looked at her husband who was busy all the time, then shifted her gaze to the neatly maintained and spotless courtyard, and the pressure in her heart suddenly increased by more than eight feet.
It turns out that Shaoyou is so fond of cleanliness and has such strong hands-on skills. I suddenly felt that I was very useless.
Uncle Zhao and the others will take some time to arrive, so Mu Yao will be the chef for today's dinner.
She cooked a table full of delicious dishes, including three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, a dessert, and a fresh bamboo shoot and mushroom soup.
Wang Yanzhi was so excited that his heart was pounding, and he couldn't calm down for a long time even after he finished dinner.
His wife did not lie to him and really started to prepare delicious food for him every day!
