As soon as the conversation started, everyone from all over the world started chatting.
The Yan family's father and daughter successfully found out what they wanted to know.
Linhai Mansion will be blessed with food this year, while the neighboring mansions are suffering from drought and their harvests have dropped sharply. Linhai Mansion is experiencing little wind and waves this year, so it is relatively stable.
The father and daughter listened to these people chatting while eating. Yan Laoer occasionally chatted along and talked nonsense. They were all drunk, and they didn't know whether what these people said was true or false.
Yan Yu gnawed on the chicken legs and listened to another piece of gossip about the King of England.
Finally figured out the relationship between Mr. Changping and the prince.
It is said that the Queen's mother-in-law's surname is Zhao, and the eldest man in Changping is also surnamed Zhao. In terms of seniority, the prince has to call Mr. Zhao uncle.
Is it embarrassing to be an official under your own nephew?
This is not just a matter of face. If according to what Chai Tou and the others said, Mr. Zhao has not been to Fucheng a few times, and has not even visited the prince's house. There is a big problem with the relationship between the two parties!
After settling the account, the two men returned the same way, preparing to go all the way to Linhai in one go.
When it comes to buying food and medicine, they are professionals, and they will not spend too much if they can save money.
Before reaching the city gate, I found that the road ahead was blocked.
"What's going on?" Yan Laoer whispered, putting his feet up and watching.
"The elder has brought the person back."
"Look at the curtain on the carriage. They are wearing beads. It's so beautiful. The girl sitting at the front of the carriage is also handsome."
"Whose daughter is this? So majestic!"
"There are so many boxes behind me. What do you think they contain?"
"This battle is worth a lot of money anyway."
"You know what? Did you see the color of the box? It's red! These are all here for a wedding. The person sitting in the carriage is our Crown Princess of Guanzhou!"
"Come on, tell me, tell me, our prince is getting married? This is a great thing. Haha, after all, our prince is quite old and it's time to get married. Whose daughter is this? Such a blessing!"
"The family background must not be bad. Look at those older boxes. There are so many people there that you can't even see the end."
"It's not bad. What do you know? Our prince's marriage is something that ordinary people can say. It's a royal gift. Do you know what a royal gift is? It was chosen by the emperor's grandfather himself for his grandson. Can it be done?
The girl he has chosen to marry will definitely be a first-rate good girl if she is matched with our prince."
"That's great. I hope that after the Crown Princess comes in, she will hold two in three years and three in five years, and our prince will be able to hold grandchildren, hahaha!"
"When the prince first came here, he also got off the boat at our Changping. How old was the prince at that time? He was only three or four years old. He was not afraid of life. He opened the car window and looked out, and he even smiled at me.
I really can’t get enough of that little appearance. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed and the prince is about to marry his daughter-in-law and become his father."
A group of people were all talking about how the King of England and his family were when they first came to the fiefdom...
Yan Yu: It turns out that it has been more than ten years since the British king granted Guanzhou a title.
He has two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, the prince, must be fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a daughter, two years younger than the prince, who has been raising her in the palace, and a young son who was born the year before last.
This age span is a bit large. The eldest son and eldest daughter are more than ten years older than the youngest son.
In other words, the eldest son and daughter of the King of England were all born in the capital. After arriving in Guanzhou, they did not give birth to any children for ten years.
This young son can also be said to be a son of old age.
Yan Yu felt that with his status as the King of England and only three children, his heirs were a bit weak.
After listening to it for a while, it suddenly dawned on me that the current Princess of England was married later. After the previous Princess died of illness, the King of England was single for several years. It is said that he had a deep relationship with the previous Princess and did not want to remarry. It was because of his father's opinion.
If he doesn't go down, he will be given another wife.
This can also explain why the second young master is so young.
The team finally came to an end.
Yan Laoer was curious and kept counting.
He said to his daughter: "Haha, my daughter, it's really a hundred and eight lifts. One lift is not too much, and one lift is a lot.
Tsk tsk! That’s a lot of stuff. The dowry alone requires a separate room to store it. It must not be too small, otherwise it won’t be able to fit in it.”
In this regard,
Yan Yu has the right to speak.
"A woman's dowry is her own private property. There are several dowry lists. Her parents-in-law's family has their own hands. Even the government office has to save a copy. She can use her own for daily expenses. She has enough confidence.
My husband's family can't reach out at all. When they have children in the future, it will be passed down from generation to generation."
Yan Yu has read many books that describe dowry in great detail. From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, everything that is needed for daily use is included in the dowry.
What kind of feeling does it give people?
When you marry a man, surround him with your dowry...
Including bed, cabinet, washbasin... Christine bucket!
What’s even more interesting is that if you marry into a big family that has been together for several generations, and the property is not divided, the money earned by the man will be handed over to the public, and the men will be given some monthly money to live on. It’s okay if it’s enough.
It’s not enough...the wife has to supplement it with her dowry.
Yan Yu feels very emotional every time she sees this.
No wonder I keep writing about the story of separation and never get tired of it.
If it were her, she would also feel uncomfortable.
Why? Marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat.
The wealth that my parents have worked so hard to save is so generous, so generous!
Yan Laoer felt that he also needed to prepare a copy for his daughter.
Let’s not talk about dowry or not. This list is particularly good to have in the government office, and it sounds very safe.
"Jade, my parents will prepare a lot for you in the future. Let's try to spend our own money and be brave." Yan Laoer felt that for this goal, he could dig a little more.
"Dad! Why should I spend my own money? I've already married into someone else's family. Isn't it stupid to spend my own money?!" She couldn't believe that these words came from her father's mouth.
Is this her father?
Wake up, my dear father!
The family tradition of living in the old Yan family must be passed down unswervingly!
Yan Laoer slapped his forehead.
"That's right, you told me that the long red box was shaking all over the lake.
There's nothing wrong with eating and using his family's food. If a good girl like me goes to anyone's home, it's his family's ancestral graves that are smoking, and she takes advantage of her!"
Yan Yu:……
"Dad, can we stop talking about this? Look at me, I'm still far from getting married."
I haven't even scratched my horoscope yet, so I've spent so much time talking about it.
Yan Laoer gestured at her size and was satisfied.
It's good to be younger, and I can still keep my daughter at home for ten years or so.
Besides, you don’t have to marry, you can also learn from the old Song family, hehe!
Wait until we arrive at the inner pier.
The captain kept urging them to stay one more day.
"The prince's wedding is such a big event, why don't you stay an extra day? I have asked about it, and we will get married from Changping tonight, and we will go to Yongning tomorrow evening. It doesn't even take a day. You just need to stay an extra half day.
"
"The excitement on the street today is enough for us to brag about when we go back to the village. Oh my God, I have never seen such a long wedding procession. It is really an eye-opener." Yan Laoer said with a look of regret: "The cow was not sold.
Come on, we don’t dare to stay in Changping City anymore, everything is expensive.”
"You should have done what I said and sold the cattle in the city, and now you are going to Linhai? The price there is definitely not as high as ours, but, alas, forget it, you have already come out, and you still have to spend money to go in again.
…”
The bow of the boat was mumbling, and his hands quickly untied the rope and retrieved the bamboo stick. Seeing that the man and the cow were on the raft, he pushed hard with his feet to let them sail away from the dock more easily.
Neither Yan Laoer nor Yan Yu thought there was anything interesting about the excitement.
People were on the carriage, and the barrier was tight, so it was impossible for the Crown Princess to lift the curtain and wave.
The only thing that catches the eye is the people carrying the boxes.
"Dad, look over there."
Yan Yu pointed at him with his wooden pole.
Yan Laoer turned around and took a look, good guy, there are so many ships!
I saw a larger dock with several large ships moored, one of which was a double-decker.
Many people were busy on the boat, and it looked like there were still things to move.
"This should be a big ship for weddings. In addition to the dowry boxes, there are so many. Wow, I don't know what kind of family it is. The family is rich enough." Yan Laoer sighed.
"This boat is really nice." Yan Yu's focus is different from her father's.
I am particularly interested in the double-decker ship.
"Dad, the sea route they took, these ships are all sea ships."
The most intuitive impression of her is that she is tall.
Look up at the plywood.
Getting closer, I found that these boats had a very deep draft.
No wonder we don't go any further. The water level at the inner pier is shallow, and I'm afraid these sea-going ships won't be able to get in.
This is Changping's outer pier, which is dedicated to docking large ships.
Yan Yu tried to keep the raft as far away from the boats as possible.
The two of them can just look at each other once their eyes are full, there is no need to go any further.
But sometimes, you want to avoid trouble, but trouble comes to you.
A small boat came quickly.
People on the boat shouted: "Stop, don't go forward."
"Didn't you see the official ship? Why are you blind? You still move forward, thinking that you will live longer!"
Yan Laoer:......
Yan Yu:……
The two men looked at each other and saw the incomprehension in each other's eyes.
I didn't move forward, I even made a big circle on purpose.
Yan Laoer laughed along and said: "We are from the countryside and have no experience. The raft is newly made and we have never seen an official ship.
If you are affected, point it out and explain it to us, so that we can remember it when we encounter it in the future."
That man was not an official official, but he spoke in an official manner.
"It turns out he's a dirt-legged guy from the countryside. I asked him why he was so unruly.
Keep an eye on it, those are the official ships. From now on, when you are far away from Lao Lao, just pull over and wait until the official ships have left before you can leave."
Yan Yu subconsciously visually measured the distance between them.
It would be an exaggeration to say that their raft was thousands of miles away from those ships, but the distance was enough for them to wallow side by side in the river, right?
They should be allowed to avoid such a wide river and such a large place?
Get out of the way...just get out of the way!
The two of them leaned aside obediently.
The people on the boat seemed very satisfied with the performance of the big one and the small one and went back.
The two of them were bored.
Yan Laoer lit the carbon cylinder, put the pot on, and poured in water.
Wait for the water to boil, sprinkle a handful of Rongma's sun-dried shrimps, and add some dried vegetables into it.
They had already eaten eight cents full at the wine shop, and the remaining two cents were good to eat with this soup.
Yan Yu sucked while watching the people on the other side of the ship working.
It's really boring and there's not much to do.
She looked and looked, and she felt something was wrong.
"Dad, I think there's something wrong with those people!"
"What's wrong? Do they have to move again? It's okay, we can afford to wait." It was the ship that the Crown Princess gave her as a wedding gift, so you can do whatever you want, don't go against the grain, it won't do any good.
"No, if you look carefully, they took the boxes off the ship and piled them on the dock. Then they opened the boxes, took something out of them, put them on their bodies, and threw them into another box... and moved them to another boat...
…What do you think they are going through, why do they do this?”
Yan Laoer looked at it intently for a while, but no, it was so troublesome.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Yan Yu picked up the wooden pole and pushed hard, and the raft landed on the shore.
She threw the reins to the ground, not caring whether her shoes were wet or not, and ran ashore, tying the reins firmly in a knot on the tree.
"Dad, come down quickly, let's hide for a while."
Her cat got behind the tree and let the big tree and grass block her tightly.
"Sambo, come down, lie down and take cover."
Sanbao obeyed and obeyed.
Yan Laoer also gained some consciousness, quickly came over and hid behind another tree.
The two of them watched for a while while holding their breath.
Finally, the boat set sail.
Go in the opposite direction to Changping.
The other big ships remained motionless.
The remaining boxes on the dock were loaded onto trucks and taken away.
The small boat that just shouted is coming.
The two men looked at each other, grabbed Sanbao and ran far away. When the boat came to where their raft was, they slowly came over.
"Just
What did you do?" asked the people in the boat.
"I don't know what the child has eaten, and he has a stomachache. Take him there for convenience." Yan Laoer replied.
"Okay, hurry up and leave. I'll be a little more discerning in the future." They thought they were doing it secretly and it was far away. Seeing that the two men were coming back from afar, they felt relieved and started chasing people away.
Yan Laoer got what he wanted: "Remember it, remember it. If you see an official ship in the future, stay away from it and never come forward."
Yan Yu is not good at supporting people in front of others.
Fortunately, the people in the boat were one step ahead.
Yan Yu quickly took two shots while no one was watching.
The raft went downstream, and coincidentally, the direction was quite consistent with that of the departing ship.
Wait until the distance is far away.
Yan Laoer wiped his sweat and handed the wooden pole in his hand to Yan Yu.
"I'm exhausted, can't you chase me?"
Yan Yu: "It should be fine. Dad, do you think they are stealing?"
Only in this way can their strange behavior be explained.
"It looks like it." Yan Laoer said.
One person may see it wrong, but they can't both see it wrong, right?
"That's the princess's ship. They are too brave to steal it? Are they water thieves?" Yan Yu denied it herself: "No, if the water thieves have all moved away, there is no way they can open the box and take it.
It’s the mole!”
She said angrily: "These people are so abominable, why are they stealing other people's dowries?"
Yan Yu paused for a moment, "No, Dad, there are a few things. A pair of orders will be revealed. Even if the imperial concubine doesn't check, there must be someone under her who is in charge of these things. How could it be fooled?"
Yan Laoer frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Boxes! Those boxes are the wrong color, they are not red!"
