The life of the Xianyu family through books

Chapter 766 Pigeon Transfer Station (asking for monthly tickets!)

Yan Xiangheng originally wanted to discuss his resignation from the palace with his eldest brother-in-law tomorrow.

Suddenly, a thought came to my mind and my thoughts began to dance.

He said after careful consideration, "Father, His Majesty has summoned the prince to the capital. My elder brother-in-law and I will go to Wuya Academy first. It is not far from the capital. After studying, I may be able to do some small things for the prince."

Yan Huaiwen said in a gentle voice: "Not bad."

Yan Xiangheng looked excited, as if he had touched something and was filled with inspiration.

"I've read the articles written by others. They are radical at times, but lack substance. This is mostly because we are not familiar with the people and things in Beijing. Dad, do you think it would be feasible for us to communicate with those people in the village?"

Yan Xiangheng was talking about his job in Huju. The King of England had specially allocated a place for them to handle reports from the imperial court and correspondence with Xizhou.

What he thought was that since those people were useful and had been exiled from the capital, he might as well make full use of them and help them understand the situation in the capital.

"You can choose the ghostwriter you want."

Yan Huaiwen directly gave a shortcut.

Just let them write and use it right away.

What are you communicating? It's troublesome.

Yan Yu nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Uncle's method was very much to her liking and saved her trouble.

"If they are selected, give them some money as a reward, it will be another way to make money, which is great!" Yan Yu's chubby face turned serious: "They know the importance of this matter and will definitely not tell anyone. It's enough for my brother and his wife to get this benefit, forget about outsiders."

Yan Huaiwen nodded slightly.

For the caution of my own waiter.

Yan Xiangheng was shocked for a while.

He was still studying hard a few months ago, and after passing the examination, he was highly regarded in the north where literature was not popular.

If it were a major government in the south, such an appointment would never happen.

But in Guanzhou, he and a group of his peers were used as half-clerks.

Gradually fading from youthfulness.

In just a few months, it might be an exaggeration to say that Yan Xiangheng felt he had been reborn, but he deserved the description of having made great progress.

But...it turns out that he still needs to learn how his father and Xiaoer think.

……

"The surname is Tian, ​​his family's grandfather was guilty of this, I heard he was a corrupt official." Yan Laoer gossiped, "Chen and Meng's fathers are said to have participated in cheating in the imperial examinations. It should be said that the quarry is really full of talented people, and officials from any department can be picked out."

Li Xuemei was in charge of the household accounts, so she asked, "So, will these four people follow your eldest brother and eldest brother-in-law from now on? Are they considered as his personal attendants and servants? We can't use them for nothing, right? Did your uncle tell us how much he would pay them? They are now criminals just like the Zhang family kid, and they can't sign a contract. But your uncle is confident that he dares to use them."

Yan Laoer took over the conversation and said, "Why are we afraid? We have their pulse in our hands. Even if Big Brother is no longer the household clerk, as long as the teacher is still in office, they can't make trouble, right, Xiaoer?"

Yan Yu nodded: "What Dad said is correct. Most of these officials who were exiled here actually have masters behind them. The old emperor did not appoint a crown prince, and the princes fought fiercely overtly and covertly. They were sentenced to exile, and they probably still have hopes in their hearts that if their masters come to power in the future and the new emperor ascends the throne and grants amnesty, their crimes will be forgiven. As long as they think of them and remember their hard work, they may be able to go back and be promoted to higher positions."

"This is gambling! The chances of winning are slim." Yan Yu concluded.

She changed the subject and continued, "On the contrary, our prince is looking more and more impressive. Our family is somewhat related to the palace, and those people are very cunning and have a plan in mind. Just look at the people who are paired with my eldest brother and brother-in-law this time, and you will know that they have placed their bets again! I understand that the days of exile are like years, and you still have to fight to save yourself. So I said that these people are full of tricks."

"It doesn't seem like you use them less." Li Xuemei said.

"Hahaha! What am I afraid of? My uncle is the big boss who laughs last, and these are just little Karami!" Yan Yu was very proud.

"Tomorrow I will start the restoration of the Eight Oxen Crossbow." Yan Yu rolled happily on the kang, messing up her hair, and winked at Yan Lao Er: "Dad, when we're done, let's go outside the Great Wall and harness the horses!"

Yan Laoer's eyes lit up: "Yes, lasso the horses! Let Jiuxiaofei go and look tomorrow to see if there is a group of wild horses. Let Dahei sneak in to experience the life there for a few days, and then send us the location at any time, hehehehe!"

Yan Yu's eyes rolled around, and he suggested enthusiastically, "Dad, it's better to enjoy it alone. If Dahei goes undercover in the wild horse herd, I suggest that we change this family parent-child activity to a group sport. We can bring a rope expert like Uncle Guan over there. We can make a profit if we rope one. Wow, horses are so expensive! Especially wild ones. Famous horses are born in wild horses. If we are lucky enough to rope one, it will be amazing. We can even give it to the old emperor as a tribute. Then let the prince buy it and take it to the capital. The prince is rich now, so we can sell it!"

When Yan Laoer heard that there was money to be made, he became excited.

The father and daughter chattered until midnight.

Finally, Li Xuemei couldn't stand it anymore, so she moved Xiaoyaer to Yan Laoer's side and stuffed her little feet into Yan Laoer's quilt. Xiaoyaer was so annoyed by the talking that she kicked her legs.

Yan Laoer has become obedient.

A quiet room.

……

Jiuxiao was flying very high. Even though we knew its range of activity, it was still difficult to see it clearly from the ground. There was only a tiny black dot.

A gray and white dove flew from the west.

The little bird recognized the familiar resting place and flapped its wings excitedly.

It flew up and up with all its might.

Finally, a dark shadow flew across the sky.

When the gray and white pigeons sensed that they were getting closer to each other, they decisively folded their wings.

Two eagle claws grabbed it skillfully.

The pigeons are at ease.

Waiting with extreme peace of mind.

Yan Yu was brushing her teeth in the yard, the colorful rope tied around her wrist swaying up and down and left and right with her movements.

Gurgle gurgle...Puff!

She cleaned the toothbrush and toothpick and put them back in place. Just as she was about to wash her face, she saw Jiuxiao slowly flying down.

The comfortable pigeon in the claws was released first.

The pigeon landed safely.

He was too lazy to even take a step, and just turned his little neck around, looking for some bipedal animal to feed him.

Jiuxiao flew another half circle at low altitude.

Yan Yu stretched out his hand, and it aimed at his shoulder, flapped its wings and landed.

She took two steps forward, closer to the gray-white pigeon, wanting to see it more clearly.

The pigeon waited with its neck tucked in.

After being fished out, it made two small gurgling sounds.

Yan Yu: He is quite well behaved. You can tell at first glance that he is an old transfer pigeon.

Remove the bamboo tube.

Yan Yu thought about it and didn't open it. Instead, he took the pigeon and walked towards his uncle's house.

"Uncle! Are you awake? The waiter is coming in!"

"Come in!" a voice came from the room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my uncle fiddling with the sachet in his hand and hanging it on his body.

Mrs. Tian prepared something for everyone in the family, and no one was left out.

Adults are sachets and they are colorful ropes.

The rings for her, her elder sister and her elder brother were tied by Mrs. Tian herself.

Contains full blessings from the elders.

Yan Yu raised the pigeon in his hand.

"Hey uncle, a fat pigeon fell from the sky. Do you want to eat roasted pigeon? Or braised?"

  Pigeon: Coo, coo, coo! Where’s my food? Where’s my food?

Xiao Wai: I love both grilled and braised pigeons. You are fat, pigeon! (﹃)

Gege: It was a wrong decision after all! (╥╯^╰╥)

Old Yan: Silence, thinking, the people of Xizhou are not smart, and the pigeons they raise are also very stupid...
