The story of the rich and the young being tricked into farming

After Ye Xiaozhou took a bath, he changed into brand new clothes. The outer clothes were sky blue, and on it were the white peacocks that were embroidered by more than [-] embroiderers in Jinxiu Pavilion for ten days. Inlaid with several drop-shaped pearls.

The handy maids combed his hair and matched him with a milky white hosta.

When Cheng Xiaofeng and Chen Mengchu saw him in the hall, they almost couldn't hold back. Ye Xiaozhou looked good when he was with them in disgrace. The little fairy who escaped.

"My lord, my lord..." A man with the appearance of a domestic servant hurried in, with an expression of joy or worry, he didn't know, "A father-in-law from the capital came outside, and what he was holding was said to be an imperial decree." , I want you and your wife and young master to go out to receive the order in person."

Ye Hongfang's expression changed, and Ye Xiaozhou's expression also sank.

They are far away from the emperor, Ye Hongfang's business is so big, and he has never seen the emperor, presumably the emperor will not know him, and now that the imperial decree came suddenly, I am afraid it will not be a good thing.

"Does Fuliu know about this?" Ye Hongfang asked.

The servant said: "The other person who came with the servant has already run to inform Madam."

Ye Hongfang had no choice but to say to Cheng Xiaofeng and the two: "I've been waiting for a long time, please have some tea first, and Xiaozhou and I will come as soon as we go."

Ye Xiaozhou followed beside his father, striding outside with him.

"Is there anything you didn't tell me outside? Don't cause trouble in front of the emperor," Ye Hongfang asked Ye Xiaozhou as he walked. No, you have only reached Yunxi at the furthest, and you are not too close to Shangjing."

Ye Xiaozhou was wronged and said, "How can I have such great ability?"

Ye Hongfang turned his head to look at him, sighed slightly and said, "Yes."

When the two walked to the main entrance, Jiang Fuliu also walked behind them, Ye Hongfang nodded with her, and the three of them stepped out of the main entrance together.

The short eunuch with pink hair and white face stood upright in front of the door, and when he saw the three of them coming out, he said sharply, "Which one is Ye Xiaozhou?"

Ye Hongfang smiled slightly, and raised his hand to protect Ye Xiaozhou's back: "This is Gouzi Xiaozhou."

"Kneel down to receive the order." The eunuch said loudly.

Ye Hongfang pulled Ye Xiaozhou, who hadn't reacted yet, and knelt down. Ye Xiaozhou had only knelt down to his grandmother and mother in the past ten years. It's just a piece of bright yellow silk being held up by the eunuch.

Ye Xiaozhou was not convinced, but knelt down obediently.

Then the eunuch opened and closed his upper and lower lips, Ye Xiaozhou could barely hear what he said, Ye Hongfang and Jiang Fuliu who were kneeling beside him were all pale, and his complexion became more and more ugly.

"Thank you soon?" He heard the eunuch say, "Being able to marry the dignified King Ning is a blessing that can't be obtained in several lifetimes."

Ye Hongfang pulled Ye Xiaozhou, who was still in a daze, and urged him to thank him. Seeing Ye Xiaozhou accepted the imperial decree with a face of bewilderment, he got up with a smile on his face, and took out a quail egg from his purse Pearls of all sizes were held in the hands of the eunuch.

"My lord, please give me some pointers. How did our nameless Pingjiang family get King Ning's favor?"

The eunuch glanced at him, and immediately stuffed the pearl into his belt. He said kindly, "How can the Pingjiang Ye family be an unknown junior? The tea and cloth that the Pingjiang Mansion pays tribute every year is terrible." It's all from your handwriting."

He didn't answer directly, Ye Hongfang only thought that he thought he had given too little, so he took out another pearl as big as the previous one from his purse, and stuffed it back to the eunuch: "Although it is a blessing But we can’t be stunned by this sudden luck after all, right? The reason behind this… I wonder if my lord can tell me a thing or two?”

"The miscellaneous family only know that this marriage was requested by Prince Ning himself, and the sage agreed, so he drew up this imperial decree and sent it to Pingjiang quickly by the miscellaneous family. The other miscellaneous families don't know anything about it," said the eunuch Ye Xiaozhou felt very uncomfortable when he spoke in a tone of voice, "The miscellaneous family will stay here for a few days, and the foster nun who came out of the palace will also arrive tomorrow, and she will teach Mr. Ye the royal etiquette."

Ye Xiaozhou held back for a long time, and then he couldn't help muttering: "But I don't want to marry, I have never seen such a kind of Prince Ning."

"Xiaozhou, don't be rude!" Ye Hongfang snapped.

"Hey, you child, how do you talk," the eunuch's sharp voice sounded again, "What kind of nobleman is Ning Wangye, he is the younger brother of today's emperor, and the Holy Majesty personally appointed him to marry him, even if you are the prime minister's Son, don’t dare to say a word.”

"Yes, yes, what you said is right, my lord." Ye Hongfang hastily asked the housekeeper of Ye Mansion to bring the eunuch in and settle him down, "There is no reason to let the distinguished guests stay outside the door, my lord, go in and sit down. It's just in time for dinner, do you want to have dinner with our family?"

He said so, and this eunuch is also a fine person, so he immediately understood that he was just being polite, so he said: "No need, the miscellaneous family is full of dust, but it needs to be repaired first, and the lunch miscellaneous family can use it for themselves gone."

Ye Hongfang said eagerly: "Then Ye will set up a dinner party tonight to clean up the dust for my lord. My lord, please show me your face."

The eunuch smiled unabated: "Boss Ye doesn't need to worry too much, ordinary home cooking is fine."

After speaking, he left with the housekeeper Ye Fu.

Ye Hongfang pulled Ye Xiaozhou into a room without saying a word, with a rare seriousness on his face: "Do you know this Prince Ning?"

Ye Xiaozhou shook his head resolutely, almost crying: "I've never heard of it—Father, I don't want to marry."

"But the emperor's order is hard to break..." Ye Hongfang frowned his thick eyebrows in worry, and there was a deep mark between his brows.

His baby just came back safely, how could he just let him marry an unfamiliar place in Shangjing, and marry that violent prince who is said to have a broken leg?

Ye Xiaozhou also knew his father's embarrassment, and knew that disobeying the emperor's order would cost his head. Although their family has a lot of money and is quite powerful in Pingjiang Mansion, but in Shangjing City, it is against a supreme person like the emperor. , that would be of no use at all.

"father……"

"Little boat..."

The two suddenly spoke at the same time.

"Let me say first," Ye Xiaozhou didn't mean to be courteous at all, he said in a muffled voice, "I thought about it, in fact, it's pretty good to be Princess Ning, I haven't been to the capital yet when I grow up, and Dad, don't you always say that our family still lacks a powerful person? If I have this status as Princess Ning, Dad's business will definitely be bigger in the future."

Although his lies are full of loopholes, Ye Hongfang knows his son very well, he knows what it means to lower his eyes and refuse to look at people when he speaks, but he is still very relieved, the former Ye Xiaozhou only knew to make trouble for no reason, He never thought about him and Ye Fu, but now that he is suddenly so sensible, Ye Hongfang is not used to it.

"Xiaozhou, daddy doesn't want you to be Princess Ning, and don't do business with the Daye family anymore." Ye Hongfang seemed to have made up his mind, looking into Ye Xiaozhou's eyes, and said firmly, "Don't worry, daddy will find a way .”

Ye Hongfang never broke his promise to Ye Xiaozhou, and Ye Xiaozhou nodded after hearing his words.

"You are short of food and clothing along the way, and you must be hungry. Go back to the table and have lunch with those two children," Ye Hongfang said to him, "Father and your Aunt Jiang have something to say."

Ye Xiaozhou turned around obediently and left.

When he turned around and turned his back to Ye Hongfang and the others, the calm optimism he had put on on his face suddenly collapsed. He really wanted to cry, but there were too many domestic slaves in Ye's mansion, and he didn't want to cry. If others saw it, it would definitely reach his father's ears.

He didn't want to see Ye Hongfang frowning and thinking, so he deliberately put on a heartless and innocent look, and deliberately filled his mind with only eating, drinking and having fun, as if that tragic deception was just a nightmare, and he Ye Xiaozhou is still naive and optimistic.

Ye Xiaozhou thought that they would soon be able to return to the happy life they used to be.

But this damn edict sent by this damn eunuch ruined everything.

"Damn the emperor," Ye Xiaozhou cursed rebelliously in his heart, "Damn Prince Ning!"

Ye Hongfang on the other side was still frowning, and he said to Jiang Fuliu who was leaning against the door: "The fortune teller said that this child must have a difficult life. At that time, I thought that bastard was lying to me, making people Beat him out with a stick."

He sighed sadly, and continued: "I've been spoiled by him since I was a child, and I never made him suffer at all. He doesn't know what is so powerful. If he really married into the palace with many rules, he must be bullied." Yes, I can't bear it."

Jiang Fuliu listened quietly, and then quietly raised his eyes: "What does the master want to say?"

"We have been husband and wife for so many years anyway," Ye Hongfang said, "You can keep some things from me, and I won't ask, but this time it's going to kill my Xiaozhou, Fuliu, can you get along with me? Do I get to the bottom of it?"

"Ah Min, who is he? Why did Xiaozhou come back, and the edict of marriage has arrived?"
