Yuchi Ziling nodded, "Well, I'll go back then."
"Go back?" Jiang Hairu was struck by lightning. "Did you misunderstand?"
"That's right. I said I'd come over to keep you company for a while, but I didn't say I'd stay overnight."
"No, no, you said you were moving here this morning."
"My stepmother doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."
Jiang Hai stepped forward, hugged Yuchi Ziling, and put his chin on her shoulder.
"My life will be boring if you're gone. My lady, have you ever heard of the four great joys in life?"
"What are the four great joys? Tell me."
"Ancient people said that the four greatest joys in life are: a downpour after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, passing the imperial examination, and the wedding night.
You see, we are right by the sea, so it is impossible for us to have a long drought. That’s why I didn’t have the first one.
Then, I rarely left Binhai County, so it was naturally impossible for me to meet old friends in a foreign place.
Besides, I am just a scholar and work as a county clerk. I have no plans to take the exam again, so I have no chance of getting my name on the imperial examination.
So you see, only the wedding night is left, and you still don’t make it happen. Isn’t it pitiful and sad? Oh, my life..."
Yuchi Ziling was amused by his logical and slick remarks.
"Haha, what you said is quite reasonable." She also reached out and hugged Jiang Hai and said, "Okay, don't be like this. It won't be long before we get married. There is still a long way to go."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Hai stopped dwelling on this issue.
"Okay, I'll take you around tomorrow."
"good."
Yuchi Ziling agreed and left the yard to return to her room.
…
No words were spoken that night.
The next day. A small fishing village on the South China Sea.
It is said that the fat man came to the village yesterday. Fortunately, there was a doctor in the village, so the fat man was able to save his life.
Today he took the village ox cart and followed the villagers to Dongshan County, intending to exchange horses in the county town and then return to report the news.
Fortunately, he still had a jade pendant with him. Otherwise, he really would have no money to exchange for a horse.
The old man who was driving cattle on the road kindly advised,
"Hey, Fatty Jin, when you get to the county town, you should find a doctor to check your leg first."
"Thank you, brother. I will pay attention to it."
Fatty Jin thanked the old man driving the cart, feeling aggrieved. He had never suffered such hardship since becoming the manager of the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce.
He now wanted to quickly find the nearest Chamber of Commerce office, report the matter, and then rest and recuperate.
It was around noon.
The county town finally appeared ahead of him. Fatty Jin seemed to see hope, and his dejected expression faded.
After entering the city, Fatty Jin quickly found a horse and rode to the nearest Nanzhou City, where the Chamber of Commerce had a base.
The capital, the residence of the third prince.
"Your Highness, the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce's ship went to Southern Xinjiang this time, but I heard there aren't many refugees there. That's quite strange."
Yang Hongye tapped his fingers on the desk, as if thinking about something.
for a long time,
"Then let's send more people to investigate. In recent years, there have been many problems in that dilapidated area of Southern Xinjiang. It's a waste to eat it, but it's a pity to throw it away."
"Yes, command."
The subordinate received the order and left the study.
…
Inside the new city.
At this moment, Jiang Hai was in high spirits, as if he was filled with honey.
He took Yuchi Ziling for a stroll around the east of the city and showed her various specialties of the new city, such as sugar, soap, perfume and so on.
Anyway, everything that is found in time-travel novels is available here, and only in the new city can it be found everywhere, while other places have limited supply.
When passersby saw that the young master was actually holding a woman today, they felt a little bit like watching the show.
Didn't we just hear about the young master's homosexuality a few days ago? Why is he taking a woman out again? Could it be...
Passerby B whispered to Passerby E,
"It seems that the young master is not just a homosexual, he is a man of all trades. Amazing, he is really amazing."
"That makes sense. I didn't expect that. It turns out to be the young master."
Jiang Hai was very puzzled as to why these guys could always speak as loudly as if they were giving a speech.
"You're the only ones who can take it all. Stop gossiping. This is your young lady. Show her some respect when you see her from now on. Get lost. What are you looking at? Haven't you seen any handsome men or beautiful women?"
Passersby nodded and greeted Yuchi Ziling. Then someone came out to ask a question.
"Master, when did you get married? Why didn't you let us know so we could celebrate?"
"I don't know. Ask my stepmother. She'll pick the date and then have the wedding banquet. Everyone can come and drink in the wedding wine. It's all she can eat."
All the passersby were delighted when they heard this. They must go to the young master's wedding.
After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he took Yuchi Ziling's hand and left through the crowd.
During this half day, Yuchi Ziling was responsible for following Jiang Hai and being shocked all the way, while Jiang Hai was responsible for pretending to be cool all the way.
Jiang Hai opened the folding fan and saw the word "囍" written on it.
"Madam, are you still shopping? It's almost time, why don't you go back and eat?"
The Jiang family has three meals a day, and it should be said that most people in the new city have three meals a day. This is very rare in this dynasty where there are refugees everywhere.
"Well, let's go back." Yuchi Ziling nodded.
"I'll take you to see other places later. The east side of the city is more commercial, the west side has industrial areas, and our army is stationed in the Crouching Tiger Mountains."
"The army? That's great. Let's go and take a look at the barracks sometime."
Yuchi Ziling became interested as soon as she heard about the military camp. She wanted to see what the elite soldiers that Jiang Hai boasted about so much looked like.
Wohu Mountain is the mountain range where the new city is located. The mountain range stretches for thousands of miles and serves as a natural barrier, so the geographical location of the new city is very hidden.
Apart from the three mountain roads that Jiang Hai opened up, the only way to enter and exit is to turn from Binjiang into Nanhai.
…
Back to Jiang's house. After lunch.
Siqin called Jiang Hai and the other two over. She was going to talk to them about choosing a date.
"One of the wedding dates is two months from now, and the other is six months from now. Which one do you think is suitable?"
"Two months, no need to ask, that's it." Jiang Hai raised his hand.
Yuchi Ziling found it very funny to see him raising his hand. She did not object and acquiesced to the date of Jiang Haixuan.
"You'd better think it over carefully. You still have to go to the capital. The round trip will take a long time." Siqin reminded.
"No problem, two months is plenty of time, don't worry, little mom."
"Okay, then let's do as you say. You already have an engagement, so let's just complete the three ceremonies this time. I'll help you prepare over the next few days. When are you leaving?"
Jiang Hai looked at Yuchi Ziling and asked.
"It's up to you to decide." Yuchi Ziling said.
"Oh, then we'll set off as soon as you're ready, little mom."
