"Hong'er, go get the charcoal stove in my room. I want to try the osmanthus tea with my cousin."

All the items used by Wen Ziqiu were very exquisite; even the charcoal stove for boiling water was made of the finest gold-thread charcoal.

The charcoal fire was lit, but there was not a trace of smoke in the room.

When making tea, Wen Ziqiu did not let the maid come forward to serve him, but made tea for Ye Jintang himself.

As soon as the boiling water was poured on the tea leaves, a rich sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance filled the room.

“What a fragrant tea.”

"Our Wen family has been in the tea business for decades. The tea that the tea shop owner sends to our family is always top-grade tea. Even the emperor in the palace can drink it."

The two of them sat at the tea table, chatting idly.

Ye Jintang discovered that although Wen Ziqiu was young, he was a business genius. He had many novel ideas, but these ideas were not recognized by the elders.

"The elders of the clan always blindly defend the city, but they don't know that sometimes the family business cannot be protected."

"Just wait and see. The current emperor is incompetent, and many matters in the court are decided by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. Even the disaster relief silver and grain for Yuezhou City some time ago were distributed by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."

"A country that lets a concubine control government affairs, I'm afraid it won't be long before the people rebel."

"The elders in the clan only try to please Imperial Consort Dehui, but they don't think about the fact that neither of the two princes born to Imperial Consort Dehui is a talent for being an emperor. No matter which of them ascends the throne, our Wen family will not be blessed."

"The Fourth Prince is the most popular candidate at the moment. Many of the old officials in the court want the Emperor to make him the Crown Prince. Why doesn't my cousin think highly of the Fourth Prince?"

"The Fourth Prince is too tyrannical and lustful. How can such an emperor be a wise ruler?"

"To be a subject to such an emperor, you have to hang your head on your waist every day. You don't know when your life will be in danger. If he executes the whole family, the whole family will suffer."

Ye Jintang was surprised that Wen Ziqiu had a very clear understanding of the situation.

In the original novel, the fourth prince became emperor for only a few years before the court became a mess. Later, someone rebelled and the emperor died a miserable death.

We have to mention Ye Yanran here. She, the queen, actually married a traitor and continued to be the queen.

It is true that the emperor comes and goes, but the queen remains forever.

During the chat, Ye Jintang also felt that the young Wen Ziqiu was not having an easy life. The elders of the clan were like a mountain, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

If it weren't for the fact that Old Master Wen was still alive and had been silently supporting him behind the scenes, he would have been sidelined by the elders of the clan long ago.

"The most effective way to deal with the elders is to have absolute strength. Only when you have absolute strength to crush them, will they completely listen to my cousin."

"this?"

Wen Ziqiu looked at Ye Jintang with a little surprise. He really didn't expect that the weak Ye Jintang could say such words.

"I just said it casually. If you think it's useful, use it. If you think it's useless, you don't need to think too much about it."

"I read all this from a storybook."

Ye Jintang hurriedly added a few words, fearing that Wen Ziqiu would notice something.

Her personality is completely different from the original owner's delicate appearance. In order to avoid being exposed, she still needs to be careful.

"Sometimes the words in the storybook do make sense. Thank you for clearing up my doubts today, cousin. In the past, I always thought about the overall situation and the face of the ancestors. Now it seems that I was too soft-hearted."

Wen Ziqiu and Ye Jintang drank tea for a while, then got up and left in a hurry.

After he left, Ye Jintang didn't see him for a few days, but he still gave her small gifts from time to time as before.

Sometimes it’s a box of snacks, sometimes it’s a painting, and occasionally some small gold and silver jewelry.

Ye Jintang just felt that she had such a cousin who cared about her, and she felt warm in her heart.

She has recently planted some fruits and vegetables in her space, and she will give some to Wen Ziqiu as a return gift, so the two of them can be considered to be exchanging gifts.

Ye Jintang has always been dissatisfied with her physical fitness. As the weather gradually became cooler, she began to exercise in the yard.

Liuli saw Ye Jintang jumping rope in the yard, panting from exhaustion, and asked, "Girl, what are you doing?"

"To exercise. I'm too weak. I can't carry anything with my shoulders or hands. If the wind is a little strong, I dare not go out."

"I need to exercise more and make myself stronger."

"Have you ever heard of Ba Duan Jin, young lady?"

"I heard about it."

"Ba Duan Jin can also strengthen the body, which is better than the girls dancing until their faces turn red."

Ye Jintang had also heard of Ba Duan Jin in her previous life, but she gave up after practicing it twice with her master.

At that time, she was very busy with work and was irritable all day long. She couldn't calm down and practice Ba Duan Jin.

Now that Liuli brought it up again, she was very interested.

Ye Jintang now lives in the Wen family and does not have too many worries. Naturally, his mentality is different from that in his previous life.

"I practiced with the girl for a while, and she naturally knew the benefits of Ba Duan Jin."

"Okay, let's practice together."

The movements of Ba Duan Jin seem slow, but after practicing one set, Ye Jintang is sweating profusely.

"The girl is indeed a little weak, why don't I make her some strong medicinal food to recuperate."

"Can you make medicinal food?"

"My servant mother was injured during childbirth, and she drank medicinal food for two years before she recovered. I served her every day and learned a little about medicinal food."

"Okay, write a recipe for medicinal food, use all the precious medicinal materials you can, and nourish my small body."

When Ye Jintang heard that he could recuperate, his eyes immediately lit up.

Once she has strengthened her delicate body, she will look for a martial arts master to teach her kung fu.

When she saw Jiang Mo performing a set of flying knife skills that day, she was extremely envious.

She used to be a surgeon for several years and was very fond of all kinds of knives. Unfortunately, she gave up medicine to go into business and she never touched a scalpel again.

"As the saying goes, a weak body cannot be nourished. The girl is a little weak and needs to be nursed back to health."

"Don't worry, don't rush. As long as you can recover within a year, it will be fine."

A year later, she would marry King Qin and go to Ningchuanzhou together.

The climate in Ningchuan Island is harsh, and she doesn't want to fall ill as soon as she goes there. Only with a strong body can she survive in the harsh environment.

Liuli not only knows Eight-Section Brocade, but also Five Animal Exercises.

Practicing Ba Duan Jin every day is too boring, so I would occasionally practice Wu Qin Xi with Ye Jintang.

"Girl, you need to stand up straight with your hands and cross one foot. That's it. Don't swing your arms around."

"Standing on one leg is too difficult. I couldn't keep it steady for most of the day."

"It's okay, we'll get used to it after practicing a few more times."

Ye Jintang was practicing vigorously in the yard when he saw Nanny Ji coming hurriedly from the front yard.

"Miss, Madam Gu is here with Miss Gu. The master wants you to go to the front yard to meet him."
