The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 686: Tell Me About What My Father Did (Update 1)

Yan Yu passed by her house without entering.

The escort team returned to the village, and she was going to Yongning City.

After entering Yongning, Yan Yu went directly to the palace.

She wanted to wait for Gan Ye to get off work in Gan Ye's courtyard, but she didn't expect that the King of England knew that she was coming, and he directly sent someone to bring her to him.

As soon as they met, she had an unhappy face and complained: "You came the other day, why didn't you come to see me."

Wang Deshan scolded in a low voice: "You are a child, you are young, but you have a lot of things to do. Remember it in the future. When you enter the mansion, the first thing is to come and pay respects to our prince."

He glared at her in a fake way and asked softly: "Did you remember?"

"Remember!" Yan Yu admitted her mistake with a good attitude, with a firm and serious look in his eyes, a smile on his small round face, and said in a sweet little voice: "It's only been a few days since I last saw you. I miss the prince and my uncle, especially the prince. We have been together before, and I am not used to being separated from each other all of a sudden. I always miss you in my heart!"

How could the King of England bear this? His tense face instantly collapsed, like ice and snow melting and spring flowers blooming.

"Then stay in the mansion." King Ying said, "It will save Mian'er from always talking about his second brother."

Yan Yu hurriedly said, "There are a lot of things to do at home, and the spring ploughing is coming, so I can't leave him alone."

She couldn't let King Ying continue talking. If he really let her stay in the mansion to accompany the young master to study, she would have no place to cry.

Although she loves to be the head of the children in the village, she doesn't want to take care of children full-time.

She doesn't have the patience.

Yan Yu quickly became the bird of good news.

"Your Highness, did you hear about the furs, cattle and sheep that my father held at Huju yesterday? They sold really well! Those southern merchants were willing to exchange them for grain, which solved our urgent need. My father also went to the military camps of Longxing and Fengming today to help them sell their goods. He said that they had brought the grain to our doorstep, so how could we let them take it back? We had to keep it no matter what."

"It was so lively at night! The shopkeepers of each family in the city sent their assistants to help. We lent them tables and benches, and there were lanterns hanging all over the barn. There were so many people!"

Yan Yu vividly imitated the grand occasion of the trade fair.

She was very careful about what she should say and what she shouldn't say.

She only said that she helped Longxing and Fengming deal with the captured spoils in exchange for grain, and didn't mention that her father was a middleman to make money from the price difference of mountain products and medicinal materials in the two places.

She said that the shopkeepers in Huju City had helped a lot, and her father promised to pump water for others without missing a word.

The King of England loved to listen to the excitement and was more concerned about people's livelihood.

She said that the women in the village came happily and returned with a good harvest, and that the people in the city were becoming more and more stable. Although their current lives were still poor and they lived a frugal life, they were hardworking and willing to work, and they would not miss any opportunity to make money.

Huju promoted the leasing of oxen to the countryside to compensate for the labor, and there were many responses. The villages had already set the date for the start of the farming season, and they were seizing the last two days to pick up the farm tools at home.

She used her own family as an example, and called out all kinds of farm tools like the names of dishes.

The King of England was stunned when he heard it.

He was not a prince who didn't know about farming, but the things in Xiaoer's family were really well prepared!

It was rare that this child was quite knowledgeable. When asked what each one was for, she could tell one, two, three.

"My mother even asked Rong to prepare the cloth for my sister's bag. When the time comes, it will be a bundle like this." Yan Yu gestured vividly, pretending to tighten her belly. "She said she wanted to work in the fields with me, but she wouldn't listen no matter how I persuaded her. I told her that I was enough and she didn't need me, but she just didn't believe it."

Yan Yu counted on his fingers: "We have lent out our cows, and replaced them with people to help. We can use two big plows together and move the land to one place. If we put in more effort, we can turn the land over in two or three days and plow it all out. It's still early when the seeds fall. We still have to open up a few more acres of land!"

"I don't know if there are enough grain seeds. My father told me to go around the city tomorrow and ask for news from the big grain merchants in Yongning. They didn't go to our place. I don't know if they look down on our products or what. My father and uncle decided to try their best. It's okay to raise the price. I'll go out to ask tomorrow morning." Yan Yu said energetically.

Wang Deshan asked her with a smile: "You're going so early in the morning? Will you come back for lunch?"

"Yes!" Yan Yu took the ladder handed by her godfather very skillfully: "Godfather, please leave me a lot of food." She touched her belly naturally. Don't say it, she's hungry now when she thinks of food.

When the King of England saw her action, he knew that the child wanted to eat.

In Wang Deshan's words, Xiaoer's strength was half given by God and half from eating. That big strength needs to be maintained by eating enough. It is said that the child was not strong before because he didn't eat well in Qishan Prefecture and was very thin. He finally got back to eating in Guanzhou. Who knows if his strength will grow in the future. It's obvious that he must eat more.

The child was also very distressed. Knowing that his family was not rich, he was obsessed with making money and went into the mountains to find meat to eat.

It's pitiful.

"Wang Deshan, give the order. From now on, when Xiaoer comes, no matter when, prepare more food and add two meat dishes." The King of England said so.

Eunuch Wang hurriedly responded and sent someone to pass the message to the kitchen.

Yan Yu's little mouth was like honey. She thanked the prince first, and then stared at the door with expectation.

She had lived in the mansion before. Calculating the time, it was almost time for dinner.

Food boxes were brought in like a stream of water.

The servants were as fast as the wind and as quiet as the clouds, and quickly set the table.

The King of England was willing to eat with Xiaoer. This child was so delicious that he could eat a few more bites just by watching him.

Yan Yu was also willing to eat with the King of England. He always felt reluctant to eat his own food, which was not as delicious as eating someone else's food.

The King of England finally remembered that his youngest son was making a fuss and refused to eat, so he called him over.

Shi Yunmian came very quickly.

Yan Yu turned his head and was shocked.

Good guy, this child has a really stubborn temper. He is not pretending, but he is really hungry.

Yan Yu looked down at himself, and then at the little guy who was brought by the servant.

For some reason, he felt guilty.

While filling his own stomach, he silently served some easily digestible soup and vegetables to the little guy. After thinking again and again, he picked up a row of lean meat shreds and passed it to him.

Shi Yunmian laughed very happily.

The second brother was talking about the second brother, which must be because someone told him that Yan Yu could not enter the mansion to accompany him. The child was sensible and did not mention it, and ate the food in his bowl diligently.

It should be said that the little master is a little cute when he eats.

Childish words are even more interesting.

Always asking Yan Yu some very childish questions.

Ask her if farming is fun? What do seeds eat and drink? Is Xiaoer brother busy taking care of the seeds?

Yan Yu answered very seriously, not perfunctorily at all.

King Ying listened and watched, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

After dinner, he sent away his reluctant little son.

King Ying said: "Wang Deshan, you will accompany Xiaoer to the city tomorrow."

Yan Yu was overjoyed, this is better than her banner of Zhang Shizifei!

Her godfather, even if he didn't say anything, just standing beside her, that means something different.

"Old slave obeys the order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Yu thanked happily.

King Ying asked her to go down and rest, Yan Yu understood immediately and left immediately.

"Aren't you going to build a house? After you finish this, go with Xiaoer." After the King of England and others left, he said to the people around him: "Although Mian'er is young, as a member of the royal family, how can he not know the suffering of the people? Take him to Xiao'an Village to let him know where the food on the plate comes from, and how rare and precious the things he doesn't eat are to the people."
