I was the best old lady in ancient times

Although Ning Pengpeng is not a native of Dajin, he has lived here for so many years.

It was exciting to come back after leaving.

Of course, the most exciting reason is that I can finally eat a bite of green vegetables.

These days at sea, the weather is getting colder and colder.

The vegetables brought on board from Earthworm Island were either wilted or spoiled.

In the next few days, Ning Pengpeng almost only drank some porridge and pickles.

She didn't expect that one day she would eat seafood until she vomited.

Ning Pengpeng was excited on the boat, but he didn't know that someone had discovered their boat a long time ago, and then hurriedly went to Nanyue Fucheng to report.

Then Cui Qingyuan took Cui Xiu, and Liu Hu who hurried over, stood at the port, waiting for them to return from the long voyage.

"Master, you are finally back!"

When the boat docked, Ning Pengpeng just held Qingniang's hand and was about to get off the boat when he saw Cui Qingyuan walking quickly and said excitedly.

He thought that the Lord of Shouning County and the others would come back within a month at most, but he didn't expect that several months had passed.

He was so anxious that he wondered if he wanted to send another naval battalion to Earthworm Island to see if Wan Jianglong and Shouning County Lord had been captured by those pirates.

Seeing people coming now, Cui Qingyuan was so excited that his old tears were about to fall.

"Master Cui, we are back!

Moreover, it also brought you a lot of good things. "

Seeing Cui Qingyuan's excited appearance, Ning Pengpeng was also a little moved, leaned forward and whispered in his ear.

"Ok?"

When Cui Qingyuan heard the words of Shouning County Lord, his originally moist eyes suddenly widened, and then he looked at Wan Jianglong.

Wan Jianglong nodded to him unobtrusively, but didn't say much.

Cui Qingyuan immediately knew that it seemed that the good things brought back should not be known by others.

He sneaked a few glances in the direction of the boats Wan Jianglong had returned from.

Good guy, there were four ships when we went, and there are almost ten ships when we come back. Hey, this is a clean-up of the Pirate's Den!
However, these ships were so clearly designated that they were not the good things that Shouning County Lord said they brought him.

Cui Qingyuan's heart felt like a cat's paws were scratching, but he still accompanied Shouning County Lord back to Fucheng first.

As for the confiscated ships and their contents, of course they cannot be unloaded at the port here, so Wan Jianglong drove directly to the navy camp.

In the evening, when the night was quiet, it would not be too late to secretly transport the contents of the boat to his government office.

When Ning Pengpeng followed Cui Qingyuan to Futai Mansion, he secretly observed Cui Xiu now.

In the past two years, Cui Xiu seems to have grown a lot all of a sudden, at least now, she looks very stable.

However, when he entered Futai mansion and offered tea to himself, his cold and distant face suddenly showed a silly smile, which made people feel disgusted.

"Mother-in-law, you have worked hard these days!"

Ning Pengpeng took the tea he handed over, took a sip, and put it aside.

Then, he looked at Cui Qingyuan.

Cui Qingyuan suddenly laughed, and spoke nice words for his nephew.

"Master, look, he and Ling Ai have been engaged for almost two years.

Now that I'm getting older, I'm a lot more stable.

However, there is still a lack of a good wife to help.

Of course, the main reason is that I feel sorry for my nephew. It's really pitiful that he works hard outside, but comes home with cold cooking.

Originally, I thought that the county lord would come back as soon as he went, but he also thought that he could take his time.

But I didn't expect the county lord to go to sea for several months.

Now that I have finally come back, why not strike while the iron is hot and decide on their marriage as soon as possible, what do you think? "

Ning Pengpeng was silent for a moment when he heard this.

These days passed so quickly, in the blink of an eye, Ning Youxi was already eighteen.

If it's a new year, it will be nineteen.

At this age, in the countryside, it is considered a late marriage.

Even for the aristocrats of the family, it was a bit late.

In order to better allow their children to give birth to heirs, most of the decent nobles would not marry off their daughters too early.

After all, giving birth to a child too early will affect the mother's body, making it less likely to give birth to a healthy child.

Of course, there are more of those kind of dudes, or people who don't think about their daughters. After marrying their daughters early, they die in childbirth or their children die early.

After all, there are not many parents who are dedicated to their children.

This is also one of the reasons why, when Cui Xiu and Ning Youxi got engaged, the Cui family agreed to wait until Ning Youxi was full before getting married.

But if this year's Chinese New Year is over, then Ning Youxi will be nineteen, and there is no delay.

"This matter, wait until I ask Youxi before making a decision!"

After Ning Pengpeng thought about it, it was not easy to make a decision directly, and she was going to hand over this decision to Ning Youxi to choose by herself.

Hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, Cui Xiu's eyes lit up and she bowed her hands.

"Thank you, my mother-in-law, for fulfilling it."

Since the Lord of Shouning County said to let her daughter make the decision, it means that she has no objection.

Looking at his nephew who was full of joy, Cui Qingyuan couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

However, in the middle of the night, when Wan Jianglong was transporting the things on the boat to the warehouse in Futai Mansion, Cui Qingyuan laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth almost cracked below his ears.

Not to mention filling up the warehouse, it also filled up all the vacant rooms in Cui Qingyuan's backyard.

Just like this, the Shouning County Lord's share was deducted.

"My lord, I left my two hundred sailors on Earthworm Island!"

Looking at Cui Qingyuan who was smiling from ear to ear, Wan Jianglong said resentfully.

"Recruitment, hurry up and recruit people, we will post a list to recruit recruits tomorrow.

With all this money, are you afraid that you won't be able to raise a good navy team? "

Cui Qingyuan waved back with a rich hand.

The next day, Cui Qingyuan not only asked his master to put up a list to recruit recruits, but also personally handed over a secret letter to the capital.

The navy battalion has just been built, and it has made great achievements, not only clearing up the pirates, but also confiscating eight sea ships.

At the same time, several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were confiscated.

What's more, the Lord of Shouning County personally found minerals on Earthworm Island, and dedicated them to the court in a selfless way.

After this news was sent to the capital, the capital, which was originally restless, stirred up another storm.

Knowing that the newly-appointed Lord of Shouning County actually has the ability to find ore, and even dedicated the mine to the imperial court, this really surprised many people.

"Father, I thought that she was just a peasant woman from the countryside, but it seems that she should not be underestimated."

General Feng shook his head when he heard his youngest daughter Feng Miaolan's words.

"My father told you a long time ago, don't underestimate anyone.

The high-yield crops that the peasant women you talk about have fed the soldiers under your father and me. "
