It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

"Besides... the county magistrate's wife and I are partnering up to open a shop in the capital. I'm just teaching you the basics."

Ye Nanyue continued, "The other fancy ones will be kept and sold in shops in the capital."

"You should practice more and learn how to run a business. Maybe when the business gets bigger, I'll open a branch, and you can open a shop with me."

The Ye family has always been farming and has no business experience.

After she is gone, these things will either be left to the Ye family or to Ping An. She needs to cultivate some capable people.

What's more, with Ye Jingming around, the Ye family will definitely move to Beijing in the future.

When they arrived in the capital, they had to make a living.

It is better to learn early now and accumulate experience slowly so that you won’t be cheated and suffer losses in the future.

Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei were so excited by what their sister-in-law said that they worked even harder.

In this village, it is rare to have enough food to eat without going hungry or freezing.

Who doesn’t want to do some small business and earn some money?

On weekdays, people only sell their own eggs and hens. If they are lucky enough, they can produce two big fat pigs during the Chinese New Year, which makes them considered a very good family.

While Mrs. Du went to bake the cake, Ye Nanyue took a cake base and made a cake box and a few small fruit cakes.

She brought all the materials herself.

After baking the last batch of cakes, Ye Nanyue asked several women in the family to make two or three of their specialties.

She made pickled fish fillets and stir-fried pork, and also steamed a tender hen using the same method as kiln chicken.

It was almost lunchtime when there was finally some noise outside.

Hearing the uniform voices, Ye Nanyue peeked out from the kitchen and saw countless yamen runners clearing the way and walking towards the Ye family.

I'm coming!

Ye Nanyan hurriedly said to Mrs. Hu and her two sisters-in-law, "Mother, sisters-in-law, I'm afraid the county magistrate and his men have arrived. Let's go out and greet them."

The three women were busy cooking and forgot about this.

Being reminded by Ye Nanyue, she became nervous again. While wiping her hands on her apron, she said nervously: "Here, here? What should I do..."

"Yes, you want to kowtow?"

"Of course I have to kowtow. Oh, how do I kowtow?"

Seeing that her sisters-in-law and mother were in a mess, Ye Nanyue felt helpless and said, "Don't be nervous, let's go out and see. You can do what I do later."

Mrs. Hu nodded and glared at her two daughters-in-law: "Okay, don't panic. I'm usually very good with your men. Don't talk nonsense and just follow Nan Yan out."

Her daughter is still steady. Look, she is not panicked at all.

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei nodded, and without caring about anything else, they took off their aprons and followed Ye Nanyue out.

Ye Nanyue also took off her apron and walked to the gate of the yard, where she saw many yamen runners and soldiers surrounding the Ye family's yard and the roads leading to and from the yard.

From a distance, they saw a group of people walking towards them.

Ye Nanyan: "..."

This damn imperial power is so damn terrible.

With such a big commotion, who among the villagers wouldn't be afraid? Not to mention her mother and sister-in-law.

But after all, it was the emperor's trip.

Even if the county magistrate and his wife were traveling, this kind of scene wouldn't be considered an exaggeration.

Ye Nanyue calmed down and looked over there curiously.

This is the emperor, the supreme ruler, the amorous father of the male protagonist. When she was reading the book, she had a deep impression of this old emperor.

Now that I'm about to see the real person, I can't help but be curious.

Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Du, and Mrs. Wei followed nervously behind, lowering their heads and not daring to say much.

Just the yamen runners and soldiers armed with swords nearby were enough to scare people to death.

After a while, there was a crowd of people in front, and those who were approaching were getting closer and closer.

Ye Nanyue also gradually saw those people clearly.

Walking in front was an old man with a round belly, who looked to be in his early sixties.

He had a gray beard and wore a dark blue brocade robe with dark gold patterns.

One could tell from his aura that he was majestic, and she could feel that superior aura even from such a distance.

This is a real emperor. As expected, none of the actors we see on TV dramas can perform with such demeanor!

It's awe-inspiring inadvertently!

The reason why we are so sure that this person is the emperor is because he is walking in the front C position and has the most similar temperament.

More importantly... her eldest son Ping'an was holding the old man's hand, saying something that made the old man laugh out loud with his head tilted back!

On the other side of the emperor was Lu Huaiyang.

Lu Huaiyang was dressed in coarse cloth, with one hand behind his back. He followed beside him calmly, half a step behind, and listened attentively.

Next to Lu Huaiyang was County Magistrate Lu.

On the other side, next to Ping An, was a middle-aged man in his early fifties with a square face. From a distance, he walked with a bowed gait, looking very righteous.

It seems that he is a high-ranking official.

If Ye Nanyue guessed correctly, this person was probably the Minister of Works.

The original book mentioned that the Minister of Works had a square face.

And in this situation, someone from the Ministry of Industry must be sent.

The emperor has come, how dare the Minister of Works not come?

Following beside him were some attendants, stewards, or minor officials.

It was tightly surrounded from front to back.

Following behind these people were the village head and clan elders, as well as Old Man Ye, Big Brother Ye, and Second Brother Ye.

Behind her was the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. An, wearing a veil hat and accompanied by maids and servants.

All the villagers were dismissed and only dared to watch from afar, not daring to approach, so there was no chaos.

Ye Nanyue was thinking that someone was approaching.

She stood at the front, and Ping An stopped talking to the emperor. She looked at Ye Nanyue and called out sweetly, "Mom, we're back! Daddy brought a grandfather with him. This grandfather also has the surname Lu. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Nanyue.

The emperor also looked at Ye Nanyue with his tiger eyes!

His son, who was demoted and whose identity is still unclear, married and had children in this remote place. His grandson is a very good one, but I don’t know if that daughter-in-law will be worthy of the title of prince’s consort after Huaiyang’s identity is cleared.

The emperor looked at Ye Nanyue and at first glance he thought that this woman was good-looking and had very generous manners.

When I looked into his eyes, I didn't feel any fear or cowardice.

only……

In broad daylight, so many foreign men were showing their faces in public like this...

I heard from Qizi that this woman is the daughter of the Ye family who is behind us...

For a peasant girl, this is normal and pretty good.

It just wronged his seventh son.

"I greet all the lords and gentlemen!"

Before the emperor could think about it, Ye Nanyue knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor in the center.

She pretended not to know his identity and only called him "Master" and "Sir".

This damn imperial society...she can only kneel!

Behind her, Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Du, and Mrs. Wei also knelt down with her, speaking and bowing like her.
