Chapter 212
Ye Yunniang walked over; it was Cordyceps flower chicken soup.Smelling the aroma, she also felt a bit like drinking it.
"Is there any more?"
"You can't drink it."
"Why?"
Jiang Mingzhe told her about the sterilization medicine.
"They are too reckless," Ye Yunniang frowned. "Why are you messing around with them?"
As Ye Yunniang spoke, she stood up to go find a doctor.
Jiang Mingzhe held Ye Yunniang down. "Pingping is right. I caused you to be infertile for life. I should also accompany you."
When Ye Yunniang gave birth to Yuanyuan, it really frightened Jiang Mingzhe.
Although the doctors all said Ye Yunniang could not get pregnant, Jiang Mingzhe would still worry.
Knowing that it was bad for women to take contraceptive medicine, Jiang Mingzhe asked the doctor for male contraceptive medicine.
It was very troublesome to drink it every time. If the sterilization medicine could solve it once and for all, Jiang Mingzhe was willing to take it.
"But,"
"Imperial Physician Gu has excellent medical skills. It won't harm my body." Jiang Mingzhe understood Ye Yunniang's worry.
"Besides, today is the first day of the New Year, it's not good to invite a doctor."
"Invite him on the second day." If a doctor wasn't invited to take a look, Ye Yunniang wouldn't be able to feel at ease.
Jiang Mingzhe agreed, "Alright, let's sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."
On the first day of the New Year, Ye Yunniang woke up to the sound of firecrackers.
Changing into new clothes, she came to the main courtyard.
Cai Damei was already there.
Ye Yunniang and Jiang Mingzhe walked over and sat together talking.
Ye Yunniang told Cai Damei what Tong Tiemei had said.
"After breakfast, I'll take Shushu to Prince Jing's Manor." Bao Min treated Cai Shuyi well, and Cai Damei wouldn't stop him.
The children arrived arm in arm.
Ye Yunniang and Jiang Mingzhe first paid New Year's greetings to Cai Damei, followed by Cai Shuyi, and finally the four brothers of Li Pan.
After paying New Year's greetings to Cai Shuyi, the four brothers of Li Pan paid New Year's greetings to Ye Yunniang and Jiang Mingzhe.
Ye Yunniang prepared thick red envelopes for them.
After the New Year's greetings, they ate breakfast.
After breakfast, Ye Yunniang and Yuanyuan stayed at home to keep watch.
Jiang Mingzhe took Li Pan, Li An, and Li Ping to visit close families for New Year's greetings.
Cai Damei took Cai Shuyi to Prince Jing's Manor for New Year's greetings.
Early on the second day, before Ye Yunniang sent someone to invite Gu Cundong, he came to the door himself.
Gu Cundong gave Jiang Mingzhe a detailed examination and confirmed that his body was fine.
Ye Yunniang was relieved of her worry. "Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Physician Gu."
"I came to your residence not only to take the Earl's pulse, but also to ask a favor of Madam."
"Please speak, Imperial Physician Gu."
Gu Cundong wanted to propose marriage to Princess Yanping and asked Ye Yunniang to be the middleman.
"Me?" Ye Yunniang was very surprised. She wasn't familiar with Princess Yanping.
"My happiness is entrusted to Madam." Gu Cundong bowed deeply after speaking.
For Li An's sake, Ye Yunniang agreed. She had someone send a card to Princess Yanping and paid a visit.
On the third day, Ye Yunniang invited a painter to paint portraits of her family. She recorded their family reunion every year.
On the fourth day, the necessary visits were completed. Not wanting to socialize and drink every day, Jiang Mingzhe took his family to a manor to soak in hot springs until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The family went out to see the lanterns and celebrate the Lantern Festival together.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Imperial College opened, and Li Pan went to class. Li An also went to the Gu family to study.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the Huwang Academy opened amidst Ye Yunniang's worries.
The first batch of 30 selected girls entered different classes of the academy to study.
As the head of the needlework class, Ye Yunniang was responsible for teaching embroidery.
After three months of training, the clever ones were already able to work and were divided up by Zhong Zhaoli and Li Ping.
The success of the first batch of students let Ye Yunniang's suspended heart drop.
...
7 years later.
Yuanyuan, Jiang Yeli held the letter in his hand, hugged Li Pan and cried like a tearful person.
"Wa... Big brother, they... all bully me... I'm too miserable... Wa... I, I don't want to live... Wa..."
Crying and crying, Jiang Yeli even blew two snot bubbles.
Li Pan suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and coaxed his little brother.
"Father and mother went too far. When I see them, I'll scold them severely."
"You wouldn't scold mother." Jiang Yeli saw through it. In this family, he was the most pitiful.
Only 7 years old, and he had to become the head of the family.
He had to get up early on the fifth of every month to attend the grand court assembly.
The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt, and Jiang Yeli burst into tears again.
Why were father and mother so cruel?
"Big brother, I don't want to be the Earl of Suyan. I don't want to, big brother help me..."
Li Pan didn't want to be the Earl of Suyan either. He coaxed and coaxed until he finally calmed Jiang Yeli down.
He carried the crying and sleeping Jiang Yeli to the bed and instructed Qiushuang to take good care of him.
Qiushuang agreed and stood guard at the door.
Li Pan came to the study, and Uncle Xiang was waiting for him.
"Eldest Young Master."
"Uncle Xiang, how many days have my parents been gone?"
"Five days."
"Father and mother calculated it well." Li Pan snorted.
Chen Xiang lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Five days ago, Li Pan went on a study tour to the suburbs of the capital with his teachers and senior brothers.
Jiang Yeli had clung to Li Pan since childhood. Hearing that his big brother was leaving for five days, he refused.
He cried and made a fuss to go along.
Li Pan didn't agree and wanted Jiang Mingzhe and Ye Yunniang to persuade his little brother.
Jiang Mingzhe and Ye Yunniang in turn persuaded Li Pan to take Jiang Yeli out to see the world.
Li Pan didn't think much and accepted.
Upon returning, his parents had left with their luggage, leaving behind a letter and an imperial edict.
The letter said that Jiang Yeli had grown up and could take on heavy responsibilities.
The earldom was his.
The letter also said that Li Pan and the other two, as older brothers, should take good care of their younger brother.
The imperial edict was written by the Emperor 7 years ago, conferring Jiang Yeli as the second Earl of Suyan.
It could be seen that Jiang Mingzhe and Ye Yunniang didn't want to stay in the capital 7 years ago.
Li An and Li Ping rushed home shortly after.
Li Ping angrily smashed a cup. "That dead old man abducted mother again."
"An'an, what are you thinking?"
"I want to go on a study tour."
"Second brother, you're abandoning me too!"
Jiang Yeli, who had just woken up to look for his brothers, heard Li An's words and refused. No matter what, he didn't want to accompany him.
His little mouth pouted, and he burst into tears again.
"Wa... I'm too miserable. I'm only 7 years old... and I'm abandoned by my parents and brothers. I'm an unwanted child..."
"No. This was decided early on," Li An explained.
Jiang Yeli didn't listen. With his parents gone and his brothers leaving, he would truly be an orphan.
Jiang Mingzhe and Ye Yunniang, who were missed by their children, sat on the carriage driving the horse cart.
"Don't pull the reins too tight. The whip should be flicked, striking in the air..." Jiang Mingzhe was teaching Ye Yunniang how to drive the carriage.
Ye Yunniang listened and quickly learned how to drive the carriage.
"Jiang Mingzhe, we just left without saying goodbye. Will the children be sad?" Ye Yunniang still felt it was very bad not to tell the children and just leave.
"If we told them, we wouldn't be able to leave." Jiang Mingzhe understood his four sons very well; they all clung to Ye Yunniang.
Knowing they were leaving, they would definitely pack their bags and follow.
Seeing Ye Yunniang missing the children, Jiang Mingzhe changed the subject.
"Madam, in another 8 days, the thousand acres of lotus flowers in Fuzhou will bloom. Don't you want to see them? Madam is worried about the children, so let's go see the lotus flowers first before returning to the capital," Jiang Mingzhe suggested.
"Alright, let's go."
Ye Yunniang put the children aside for now and decided to see the lotus flowers first before returning to the capital.
Half a month later.
"Yongzhou, a two-day journey from Fuzhou, is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. Madam, will you accompany me to see it?"
"Madam, Ningzhou, a six-day journey from Yongzhou, will release ten thousand Kongming lanterns for blessings during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's go release lanterns too, okay?"
...
With every coaxing "Okay?" from Jiang Mingzhe, Ye Yunniang traveled further and further away from the capital.
The End
