The life of the Xianyu family through books

Chapter 768: Report (asking for monthly ticket!)

The two thousand people Yan Yu mentioned were just the number of new recruits mobilized from Xiao'anying.

Her Boy Scout troop was not included in this.

Therefore, when the final assembly was completed, the number of people reached 2,200 as expected.

Of the extra two hundred, half were occupied by the Boy Scouts, and the remaining one hundred were occupied by the children's biological fathers and uncles.

The training progress of Xiao'an Camp is pretty good, but it is still weaker than the people of Xiao'an Village who have experienced several battles.

Yan Yu needs experienced fighters.

The little soldiers are qualified, but in some places it is cheaper for adults to come forward.

For example, when you arrive at the gate of the city.

After Luo San paid the fare to enter the city, he stuffed a jar into the guard's hand.

The latter opened it and laughed, "This is a great dish to go with wine, thank you!"

"The kid found it by the river, it's not worth much, sir, you can try it." Luo San bowed and said, "I have a lot of work to do at home, I haven't been to the city for a while, I don't know what the market is like recently. In addition to meat, I also brought some river fresh pickles and other things this time. Ask the sir, are there many people on the street these days?"

"It looks more lively than usual. The busy farming season is over, and more and more people are coming to the city to work. People have to eat, and if they are reluctant to cut the meat, they must be willing to buy pickles. You should think about it."

"Hey! You're just thinking about it. Let's go to the south of the city first and see if the villagers can take care of some business. The official is busy."

Luo San drove the carriage into the city gate.

Several more cars came into the city one after another.

"Xiaoxiucai Yan, hey, congratulations to you. I heard that Miss Yan got engaged yesterday. It was so lively. We have a job to do and can't leave. Otherwise, we will have to come and be a bad guest. Ask for a glass of wine." The guard hurriedly pushed back the entrance fee he handed over: "Xiaoxiucai Yan has a reputation, how can I accept your money, please take it back quickly."

This was the first time Yan Xiangheng enjoyed such treatment after passing the imperial examination.

You always collected money in the past, why aren’t you collecting money today?

Yan Yu tugged at his sleeve and took a look at the bacon and sausages in the basket.

Yan Xiangheng took back the copper coins.

"In that case, thank you very much. This is homemade meat. You can share it with others to add to the festive mood."

Yan Yu quickly picked out the numbers by head.

The red strings are all tied in advance.

One can tell at a glance why they come to the city.

The guards on duty were all very happy.

It is reasonable for the scholar not to give it, and it is generous of him to give it.

Several people congratulated them, and the people waiting to enter the city at the city gate heard that the girl of this family had got engaged yesterday, and they also said a few auspicious words.

Yan Xiangheng thanked them one by one and finally entered the city gate.

"How did they know that my eldest sister got engaged yesterday?"

Yan Yu explained his doubts: "There are only a few people who passed the exam this year, and it's easy to remember their faces. Our family has three scholars, which is unique in Guanzhou. Uncle Cheng came to our house yesterday to make an appointment. Although there are fewer people, the show is not bad. Matchmaker Qi is a famous matchmaker in the city. She arranged a marriage between officials on both sides, so we must publicize it well."

"But the entrance fee... Brother, you still have to pay it after you pass the imperial examination, right?"

"Well, I haven't been exempted."

"Dad only got this treatment because he was a general flag officer and had an official position." Yan Yu thought for a while and said, "It's probably because of Uncle Cheng. Uncle Cheng is the magistrate of Yongning and he is our in-law. Hehe, he got some benefits."

Yan Yu jumped off the car and touched the donkey's neck soothingly.

The donkey was obedient and looked at her with one of its bright black eyes.

She had been told at home that she was not allowed to be stubborn today and had to listen to her elder brother's orders.

"Brother, let's separate now. Most of the Pang people are in the government office. Don't be reluctant to go to the gate of the government office. The silver will help you get there faster if you use it to clear the way." "Okay, brother, I'll meet you at the palace later." Yan Xiangheng said solemnly.

"Hehe, relax, big brother." Yan Yu noticed that Yan Xiangheng was tense. "This city is peaceful. We should have known this in advance. It means that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Nothing will happen."

She carried a basket on the cart and picked up two chicken cages in her hands.

"Let's go, big brother!"

Yan Xiangheng watched her plump and handsome back and wanted to say "be careful", but felt it was unnecessary.

When facing his cunning waiter, he is probably the one who needs to be careful.

……

The closer they got to the Prince of England's Palace, the more people followed Yan Yu.

Several vehicles that entered the city separately gathered together, forming a team delivering meat, vegetables, fresh river food and charcoal.

Walk out the back door of the palace.

Knock on the door.

As soon as the door opens.

Menzi first saw Yan Yu’s smiling round face.

No need to say anything more, just open the door and let people in.

"Which one is heavier? Give me the lighter one." Menzi said with a smile and reached out to take it.

Yan Yu handed him one of the chicken cages.

"Then take this, it's light." She pointed her free hand backwards, "All of them should go in. Some are for the Crown Prince's wife, some are for the young master, and the ones we have are for my godfather."

Menzi poked his head out to look around and asked curiously, "Why are there so many? You're sending these... Well, okay, have you written the list? Take these directly to the kitchen, and hand them over to let the Crown Prince's Consort and the Young Master have a look."

"I've written it, please make way. I'm in a hurry to see my uncle!" Yan Yu laughed and was not polite at all.

"Come in, come in." The doorman thought the person looked familiar. Either he had helped the waiter deliver things, or he had delivered charcoal to the mansion.

The convoy entered the palace smoothly.

……

Before Eunuch Wang could even glance at his grandson, he saw him taking out a listless gray-white pigeon with messy feathers from the chicken coop.

  Pigeon: It’s terrible, it’s terrible to be locked up with Kekeda! We all have wings, but just because you can’t fly, you are jealous and you pick on me!!!

Yan Yu pointed at it and said in a serious tone: "Look, Master Gan, this is a carrier pigeon from Xizhou!"

Eunuch Wang took it and looked at the pigeon legs first.

Sure enough, there are some traces.

"What about the letter?"

"Here!" Yan Yu handed over her uncle's copy. "It was originally sent to Huju. This is a copy, word for word."

  When Eunuch Wang saw the content clearly, he was shocked!

"How dare the rebels be so bold!" Eunuch Wang said gloomily, "They actually set their sights on the Crown Prince's wife and the young master. Do you think your life is too long?"

Yan Yu hurriedly said, "Uncle, when we entered the city, we asked around and found that there are many more people on the streets recently. They say they came from the countryside to find work in the city. That's not right. Yesterday was the Dragon Boat Festival. Why didn't they stay at home to celebrate the festival and come to the city to work? It doesn't make sense.

I am not bragging, our village has a market on the first and sixth day of the first lunar month, and today is the market day. People from all over the surrounding villages know about it and like to go. When we came, we didn’t see a lack of people at the market. On the contrary, we asked a few vendors who set up stalls every day on the street, and they all said that the people who were squatting to do business looked unfamiliar.”

"It can't be just these people. There must be some rats sneaking in." Eunuch Wang said in a sharp voice.

Yan Yu then told her uncle about his arrangement. She, her father and her elder brother were assigned to report the news everywhere.

Eunuch Wang smiled a little: "Mr. Yan has thought of everything."

There are monthly tickets available in the middle of the month, please help (*▽*)
