Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Ye Youlan took a nap and woke up at the afternoon. The sun was about to set and the afterglow was sprinkled in the courtyard, as if covering it with a layer of gold.

Ye Youlan opened the door and stretched. She saw Xiaomei sitting on the stone bench at the door and talking to other girls. When she saw her get up, she hurried over to greet her.

"Where are they?"

"Everyone went to the lake to watch the fishing."

Ye Youlan wondered what was so interesting about fishing. There were mosquitoes and small insects in the evening, sitting there motionless, which was really frustrating.

Xiaomei laughed, "The guys are having a fishing competition, and the girls are betting on who can catch the most."

Upon hearing this, Ye Youlan became excited and wanted to go over and join in the fun.

Several men sat by the pond. Ye Youlan recognized the Seventh Prince, Li Ke, Li Zong, and Chen Su. The girls were all sitting in the pavilion, some waiting for the results of their fishing trips, while others were watching the men.

When Jin Ruoyun saw Ye Youlan coming, he quickly pulled her to sit next to him and asked her who she was looking forward to.

"Who are you betting on winning?"

"Zhao Biao."

"Chen Su."

"Li Zong." Qin Yurou said shyly.

"I'm also betting on Chen Su."

Ye Youlan looked around and wondered why no one was betting on the Seventh Prince?

Several girls smiled.

Qin Yurou explained with a smile, "Zhao Biao grew up in a water town. Chen Su and Li Zong often go fishing together. The Seventh Prince is always out and about in the brothels of the brothels. Look, he doesn't even hold a fishing rod. How can you expect him to catch any fish?"

Ye Youlan looked at the Seventh Prince, who was sitting by the pond. The emerald green water made his figure look ethereal, like a white crane standing by the water, admiring its own beauty.

Ye Youlan shook her head: "The Seventh Prince is so pitiful that no one supports him. So I'll just do something for him!"

Chen Xiaoling smiled and asked her how much she bet.

Ye Youlan stretched out a finger.

"One or two?"

"One hundred taels." Ye Youlan asked Xiaomei to find the manager to place a bet. Xiaomei reminded the young lady that she should think carefully about it.

Xiaomei looked at the young lady and blinked her eyes, meaning that your pocket money is only five taels a month. If you lose, where will you get the money to pay them back?

Ruoyun also advised Youlan: "Just throw a few taels casually, don't show off."

Ye Youlan confidently reassured everyone: "I'm not confident of winning against me, but I am confident of losing. Since we're all here for fun, let's make everyone happy."

"Miss, you will definitely lose if you bet on the prince. This is one hundred taels of silver, not ten taels of silver." Xiaomei was anxious.

Ye Youlan patted Xiaomei's shoulder and asked her to place the bet: "I have some private money, so don't worry about me."

The steward shouted from the shore: "Ye Youlan bets one hundred taels on the Seventh Prince to win."

Li Zong glanced sideways and couldn't help but shout, "Ye Youlan, are you crazy?" His subtext was: this prodigal daughter, doesn't she know how much a hundred taels of silver is? Why doesn't she bet on herself?

The Seventh Prince was also surprised. He looked towards Ye Youlan in the pavilion. She was dressed in a light blue dress, fresh and elegant. She was looking at them with a smile. Perhaps she was looking at Li Zong? The prince's heart sank.

"Li Zong, too many people are betting on you. Winning isn't exciting. No one is betting on the Seventh Prince. It's too embarrassing. I have to support him."

When Ye Youlan shouted like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Li Zong cursed Ye Youlan in his heart for being so stupid. How could she say such a thing in front of the Seventh Prince? He glanced at the Seventh Prince standing beside him. His eyes told him that Ye Youlan was ignorant and that the Seventh Prince should not be offended.

The Seventh Prince's back teeth were about to break, but he still managed to remain calm on the surface: "I must work hard, otherwise Miss Ye will suffer a great loss."

Ye Youlan turned around and happened to meet Qin Yurou's contemptuous gaze. She glared at Qin Yurou and said, "Li Zong will definitely take first place. You should have bet more silver, ten taels of silver. Who are you looking down on?"

Qin Yurou blushed: "You don't even bet on him, why do you care how much I bet?"

Ye Youlan shook her head and sighed, "Li Zong always treated you as his confidante. I never thought he would be so wrong."

Chen Xiaoling joked, "I also feel that Yu Rou and Master Li are a good match."

Li Miaoyu patted Chen Xiaoling: "Didn't you say before that Yu Rou and the Seventh Prince were a good match?"

Qin Yurou snorted when she heard this: "The Seventh Prince is a playboy. Who would want to be with him?"

The girls smiled at each other. Qin Yurou said these words to show her attitude. She admired Li Zong very much.

A girl behind Ruoyun interrupted, "Don't people say Young Master Li and Youlan are a perfect match? I also heard that Minister Li is planning to ask a matchmaker to go to the Prime Minister's residence to propose marriage!"

Qin Yurou's face turned cold, and the atmosphere instantly became quiet. Ye Youlan smiled, "It's all hearsay. I only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day. I'm really not a good match for Mr. Li. It's just that we grew up together, joked around, and are a bit familiar with each other, so outsiders mistakenly think we are a couple."

Qin Yurou's expression eased a lot, and she told the maid beside her to bet another ten taels on Mr. Li.

The manager announced that Miss Qin had added ten taels to her bet on Li Zong to win. Seeing Qin Yurou's additional bet, the others followed suit, adding five or ten taels, making Li Zong the most popular bettor of the entire match.

After a while, someone announced: Young Master Zhao caught a fish.

"Mr. Li caught a fish."

......

It seemed like everyone had caught a fish except the Seventh Prince. Everyone looked at Ye Youlan with sympathy, and some even advised her to withdraw her investment to reduce her losses.

Ye Youlan thought to herself, I know the whole story very well. In the last hour of the Seventh Prince's life, the fish came up one by one as if with divine help. Don't ask why, that's how the author wrote it.

Jin Ruoyun asked someone to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

At this time, Li Zhi was heard shouting, "Seventh Prince has caught a fish."

"The Seventh Prince has caught another fish."

"The Seventh Prince has caught another fish."

Everyone was surprised. As soon as the Seventh Prince put down his fishing rod, he caught fish. He caught one fish at a time, and soon he caught fifteen fish. He won the first place without any suspense.

Everyone cheered for the Seventh Prince, but their hearts were bleeding because they had lost. Xiaomei excitedly pulled Ye Youlan and said, "Miss, you are so amazing! We won, we won."

The odds for the Seventh Prince were 1 to 5, and Ye Youlan earned 500 taels of silver without spending a penny.

Qin Yurou was so angry that she stormed out without even having dinner. As soon as she left, some other people left one after another.

Ye Youlan curled her lips: "Why can't these people afford to lose?"

Li Zong went from being arrogant to being dejected. He couldn't bear to see people who were disappointed because of him, so he left without saying goodbye.

Jin Ruoyun simply asked everyone to leave!

After Ye Youlan and Xiaomei got on their own carriage, they counted the silver in the carriage. Xiaomei said she had never seen so much silver.

"Miss, you are amazing! How did you know that the Seventh Prince would win? Didn't you see that Master Li's face was as red as charcoal?"

Ye Youlan: How do you think I should explain this to you?

"I'm just lucky." Ye Youlan took out a silver ingot and gave it to Xiaomei, "This is for you, buy whatever you want."

Xiaomei quickly waved her hands: "Miss, you gave too much."

"Take it. From now on, I'll have meat and you'll have soup."

Xiaomei happily packed up the silver and then wrapped up the remaining silver: "I'll go to the silver shop and exchange it for silver notes later."
