Chapter 586: Marriage

"Huh?" Yan Yu tilted his head and frowned at Yan Laoer: "Dad, do you think my idea is quite popular? Will the King of Qi also think so, or even do so?"

Yan Laoer: ...

Why can't his daughter's ideas be simpler?

Let his brain keep up with this speed!

Yan Laoer squatted down.

This posture helps him think.

For a long time.

Yan Laoer said slowly: "If you want to verify, you have to contact the people who are mining in the private mine."

"Haha! Dad! We are thinking the same thing!" Yan Yu clapped his hands and laughed happily: "The existing private coal mine is in a good location. It is too close to Leshan Prefecture. If there is any accident, we can hide in the mountains and they can't find us even if they die of exhaustion. Of course, I still hope to take over this coal mine. This is a rich mine and can be mined in the open air. Dad, look, the mine is here. This is the official road, which leads directly to Gufeng. If Gufeng can set up defenses on the border like ours, and push it out a little bit... that would be great!"

Yan Yu's little mouth was chattering, as if the private mine was a turtle in her jar, and it would be easy to catch!

Yan Laoer was heartbroken at this moment.

Missing my elder brother...

Brother, your niece is no longer satisfied with grabbing coal. Now she wants to occupy the mine and ask for advice. It's urgent!

…

After the prince left with a sufficient number of coal trucks, the coal yard was basically occupied by Yan Laoer.

The people of Xizhou gradually discovered that Yan Guanshi had the momentum to take over this place.

There were limited houses in the mine. In order to make everyone live more comfortably, he rented three courtyards in a nearby village, and took two days to lead people to clean the kang that had not been burned for many years and re-open the flue.

That was not all. Yan Guanshi also invited several women in the village to cook, and prepare meals every morning, noon and evening, three meals a day.

He and his son bought the ingredients, and they would first go to the nearby villages, and go to the city if there was nothing around.

There were meat, vegetables, rice and grains, and hundreds of men were not a small number.

Such a huge expense, just to dig coal slag...

I really don’t know whether to say he is frugal or spendthrift.

Days passed, and the coal slag mountains in the mine were reduced one by one.

Yan Laoer would send back a batch of coal slag every three days.

At first, groups of people left, and the number of people in the mines decreased. The people of Xizhou thought that the remaining people from Guanzhou would soon return.

But one day, they suddenly found that people from Guanzhou came again, with more people, more animals, and more sleds...

Then they came again and again...

It seemed endless!

The people of Xizhou finally realized it!

The coal slag in their coal yards might not be left...

...

Yan Yu often went to the city with her father, and the father and daughter were very willing to spend money on food.

They bought from the east to the west of the city, and traveled all over the south and north of the city.

Not only did the father and daughter spend a lot of money on food, they also loved to eat out.

The food from the open street and the alleys was delicious.

Manager Zhou thought that he might have to deal with them again in the future, so he took his son to have a meal with Yan Laoer and his son.

Yan Laoer should spend money and save money. He gave the boy a gift that looked very real and put it in a newly bought small purse, which was bulging.

Manager Zhou laughed so hard that his eyes were gone. The guests and hosts had a great time.

Yan Yu kept talking to the Zhou family brother, so that the latter didn't even have a chance to open his purse.

After the meal, Manager Zhou seemed to have disappeared.

He never appeared in front of the Yan family father and daughter again.

"Dad, how much money did you put in your purse? Manager Zhou has not made any movement for several days, which shows that he is very angry." Yan Yu asked with a smile.

"Twenty-seven coins." Yan Laoer looked painful: "I spent twelve coins on the purse. I should have bought the one with fifteen coins. It's bigger and I can stuff a few more coins in it. It would be great to make up thirty coins. It's a bit unrefined to have both whole and small coins."

Yan Yu comforted him: "The purse can still be sold for a few dollars. It's more than thirty coins after adding them together, which is not a small amount."

"This Zhou Guanshi is really stingy. I stuffed silver into him several times, and he only gave you one meeting money. He also wanted to ask for it back. How can it be the same? What is his family background? What is our family background? The prince is gone, and I have nowhere to report my expenses. All the expenses these days are paid by my father himself. We are so poor!" Yan Laoer touched the silver notes given by the prince before he left, and finally felt more at ease.

Yan Yu smiled and watched her father nagging about the expenses recently. He was poor at home but rich on the road. He didn't feel anything when he lived at home, but he had to spend money on everything outside. This made her father feel distressed, hahaha!

Huh!

A clear sound of flapping wings came from above.

Yan Yu's eyes lit up, and when he looked up, he saw Jiuxiao spread his wings in the air and glided away.

"Jiuxiao is back, Dad, you can go shopping by yourself, I'm going back first!" Yan Yu was anxious to go out of the city to read the letter.

"Let's go together, you're anxious and I'm anxious too, let's buy some more noodles and then we'll go back."

"Yes!"

The father and daughter quickly left the city, and in the uninhabited area outside the city, Jiuxiao lowered its altitude and stopped flying far, circling around them in the air.

Yan Yu stretched out his arm.

Jiuxiao hummed happily and leaned down.

Yan Yu and it were furry, and Yan Laoer also took the opportunity to stroke it twice.

"What did your mother say?" Yan Laoer was impatient.

Yan Yu opened the letter and simply spread it on Sanbao's back, and the two read it together.

"Xiaoyaer can turn over, hahaha, mother also drew a simple sketch!" Yan Yu pointed at the little girl drawn with simple lines, like a turtle, with four claws on the ground and her neck stretched upwards.

"She's not even three months old and she can turn around? Let's see! Why is her face so flat? She's so fat because of eating?" Yan Laoer exclaimed in surprise!

Yan Yu quickly scanned the next paragraph and laughed loudly: "It's pressed, right? Our little Ya'er can only turn it face down, not up, hahahahaha, it's so funny!"

"Huh? My uncle has been sent out by my eldest brother again? I really don't want my eldest brother to stay at home..."

Yan Laoer nodded in agreement: "There's nothing going on here. Why bother with the children? Just let Heng'er stay at home. There are a lot of things at home that need to be taken care of."

"Oh, the Cheng family asked grandma to help with the wedding ceremony. Cheng Lezhou really misses my eldest sister!" Yan Yu said excitedly.

Yan Laoer said with a straight face: "This brat, he still wants a wife no matter how old he is!"

"She said she wanted to get engaged first," Yan Yu said.

"The engagement... is not successful either. Mr. Cheng, I think, is a good official, but his family is too busy... Our eldest daughter will not be able to enjoy happiness when she gets married. It is more like helping the poor!"

Yan Yu reminded in a low voice: "Dad, have you forgotten the money Master Cheng gave to Master? His family's house in Yongning City is bought rather than rented, and he still has dozens of taels of living money. What is the family's fortune like? It can’t be said to be poverty alleviation.”

Yan Laoer was startled and slapped his thigh: "That's not good. Mr. Cheng is a picky guy, but your master is really poor!"

"Quickly, look down. Does your uncle agree?"

I can’t predict the time for the next chapter~ I forgot to make an appointment for my son to see his dentist, and I’ll give him the vaccine by the way~ Continue: It’s already night when I wake up, and I’m still sleepy after eating. If I sleep a little longer, I think I’ll be able to wake up in the middle of the night. More~

Yesterday I watched Peng Peng's new drama. I really liked it. It is really suitable for this type of role. Unfortunately, there are only 4 episodes. I don't know if it will be broadcast in the future...

I'm just fantasizing again. I'll let Peng Peng act in what I write in the future. After thinking about it over and over, I've got some ideas. Don't mention it, it's a post-apocalyptic story. I have a feeling about it. I'll write it down first for inspiration.
