Chapter 487 End of the text
The evening breeze blows on my face.
The setting sun is reflected on the water, and the sea and sky are one color.
The mountains along the river are green and layered, and are covered with golden light in the sunset.
Several large ships were sailing slowly in the river, one after another, stirring up layers of small waves.
Smoke curled up above the boat, and the aroma of rice wafted in the air from time to time.
Miaomiao, Xier and Liuyun were tending to the small vegetable garden. They had just covered the soil, sprinkled the seeds and watered the garden.
She remembered that the shipping industry was already very developed at that time, and she heard that some people even grew vegetables on ships.
She had seen A Niang's big boat, which was very big.
So she decided to move her vegetable garden onto the boat, clear a corner to grow some fruits and vegetables, and even pull her sheep and chickens on board.
This time they went to the north and maybe the south.
The journey is long, and we can’t live without fresh vegetables, otherwise we will easily suffer from malnutrition.
I brought a ewe and could drink her milk. I raised chickens and could pick up eggs every day. There were also fish in the river to eat.
This day is so beautiful.
She doesn't have any big ambitions and just wants to be a salted fish.
You worked so hard in your previous life, but what happened in the end? After you die, you will just be a handful of earth, and you will be burdened with a lot of infamy for no reason.
Returning to the essence, what people want initially is just to have enough food and clothing, and to have a healthy and happy family.
Even though it sounds like such a simple wish.
There are still countless people in the world who want it but cannot get it.
What illegitimate daughter, a little playboy who can't do anything but act cute and eat, drink and have fun...
Let others say whatever they want.
She is just an ordinary person, a little girl at that. You can't ask her to sail a big ship and make gunpowder.
After all, there are not many people with extraordinary talents, and these are all low-probability events.
This small probability cannot be replicated.
Miaomiao scattered some food for the chicks. The chicks were full, but she was still hungry.
Looking at the sun, it's time for dinner.
When she turned around and walked back, she saw Liuyun and Xier talking and laughing, especially Liuyun. Apart from her and Xier, she had never seen him talk to any other girl.
Hehe, that’s good!
On this long journey, besides Sister Yun and Brother-in-law, there is finally another pair to support.
After dinner, it was time for the mother and daughter to chat.
Two lounge chairs were set up on the deck, one for each person, to enjoy the cool air and watch the sunset.
Very comfortable.
Seeing this, the little white wolf also ran over to join in the fun, lay down at Miaomiao's feet, and began to take a nap.
Jiujiu also flew over and landed on its head.
Maybe the bird also likes to see the beautiful scenery, staring blankly at the front.
Miaomiao sat up with her legs crossed: "Mother, will the princess be angry with us?"
"I think so."
"Will daddy bring her here?" Miaomiao was really unsure. Daddy was a man of his word.
Even if she was facing the eldest princess's mother.
Still unmoved.
"I think so. Maybe it will catch up with us in a few days."
Lu Qingyao closed her eyes and could imagine the princess's angry face.
But no matter how angry she was, Princess Yuqing still had to thank her.
Prime Minister Cui has a cold exterior but a warm heart.
A head-on confrontation would naturally not have a good outcome, but if the princess changed her appearance to be pitiful and submissive, the outcome would be hard to say.
"That's good."
Miaomiao happily lay back down.
Although the princess is a bit pretentious, I still feel reluctant to leave her after not seeing her for a year or two.
In fact, she really wanted to come with the princess.
Wherever she is, things are more interesting and full of variety.
Looking back and seeing the beautiful couple not far away, Miaomiao stole a glance at her mother beside her: "Mother, let me ask you a question."
Lu Qingyao opened her eyes and turned to see her daughter's bright eyes.
You can tell at first glance that he has a strong thirst for knowledge.
"What's the problem?"
"Mother, is it possible that our godfather could become our father?"
Lu Qingyao almost rolled off the recliner.
I glanced at the little girl. She would be ten years old next year and she owned so many shops. She couldn't just sit around doing nothing all day.
It's time to let her take over slowly.
"Miaomiao, I don't know if your godfather will become your father, but what about you? What kind of young man do you like?"
Miaomiao: ...
A'niang was quite open-minded and actually asked her daughter, who was less than ten years old, what kind of young man she liked.
I'm not worried at all about her falling in love too early.
What kind do you like?
Miaomiao tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I want someone who is good-looking, prettier than my second brother, and more talented than him..."
Lu Qingyao: ...
There are many people who are more beautiful than Yan'er.
But where can you find someone who is prettier than Yan'er and more talented than Yan'er, the top scholar?
It's harder than climbing to the sky.
These two siblings are more difficult to deal with than each other.
Forget it, it’s pointless to ask.
"So what do you want to do in the future and what kind of person do you want to be?"
Miaomiao wanted to say that she just wanted to be a salted fish, but her mother would definitely be unhappy.
Generally, the most capable parents hope that their children will be like them, and my mother is no exception.
"Mother, I want to be as powerful as you and become the richest man in the world."
Lu Qingyao was indeed happy after hearing this.
He burst into laughter. "Okay, great! So, do you want to learn something?"
"What are you learning?"
"Miaomiao, starting tomorrow, Mom will start teaching you how to do the accounting."
Miaomiao: "...Can I not learn?"
"You want to be the richest princess in the world, but how can you do business without knowing how to read the accounts?"
Miaomiao: ...
Oh! I was tricked by my mother again.
Sure enough, the longest road she had ever traveled was not the road to Jiangzhou.
But it’s A Niang’s routine.
The mountains are high and the rivers are long, the road ahead is still very long...

【Congratulations on the end! 】
I breathed a sigh of relief after writing the word "finished".
It has been more than half a year since I wrote this book. It is another chapter in the protagonist's life, and it ends just right.
Thanks to all my friends who have followed the series until the end. Because of you, I have the motivation to write until now.
Love you guys!!
I will also answer some of the questions that my friends have.
Regarding the protagonist.
It now seems that the protagonists are Lu Qingyao and Miaomiao, mother and daughter, and the story revolves around them, but the information cannot be changed, so everyone will just have to make do with it.
Because I didn’t think it through at the beginning, but as I wrote more, Lu Qingyao became more and more brilliant.
It is really like that saying, the author is not the compiler of the story, but the narrator. Once the world view of the story is formed, the characters come alive.
Regarding the prices in the article.
Many friends say that prices are too high. In fact, this is the case. Unlike other stories about farming and escaping famine, and stories about troubled times, the historical background of this article is set in the founding period of a dynasty, which should be considered a prosperous era. Prices are high but relatively stable.
After all, it is quite difficult for a woman in troubled times to start her own business or do business.
The price levels in each dynasty were different and cannot be generalized.
Regarding labor costs or other prices such as paper, we have referred to literature, but some of them cannot be verified and are bound to cause controversy.
If you like it, watch it. If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about it.
As for being frustrated and being a saint, I can only laugh.
Maybe you didn't finish reading it, or you skipped through it, or maybe your life wasn't going well. This article can heal people, but it can't cure diseases.
Please forgive me!
Finally, I would like to thank all my dear children who have accompanied me along the way. I hope that you will be like the protagonist in the article, overcome all obstacles, have everything go well, become rich and become wealthy!
goodbye!
See you in the next book.
