Chapter 324 Another Team Arrives

This incident in the small fishing village was deliberately covered up and did not cause any big stir.

The villagers were talking about how much money Lian Yue's big lobsters could fetch in the city.

Lian Yue was really lucky, as he caught up with a few people who came from Kyoto. They had never eaten fresh lobsters before, and they couldn't walk when they saw the beautiful lobsters in his bucket.

"I want this shrimp. How much is it?!"

The person who spoke was the best dressed among the group, a woman in her early thirties.

As soon as Lian Yue heard the accent, his mind started to work.

He is from another place, wearing bright clothes and speaking in a loud voice. At first glance, he is a sucker. No, he is a good buyer.

He didn't bid ten taels, but directly bid twenty taels.

When Nanny Chun heard this, she became a little hesitant.

Twenty taels for a shrimp seems a bit too expensive.

This time, her master only gave her three hundred taels of silver. She spent several dozen taels on the journey, and would need another several dozen taels when she returned. The rest was all her money.

She felt bad that she had to spend twenty taels to buy a shrimp.

It was just that he finally got out and became the boss of the team, so he wanted to show off his generosity and make himself look good. If he didn't buy the shrimp, who knows what the people below would say.

Maybe they would laugh at her for pretending to be fat.

"Madam, don't think this shrimp is expensive. It is really hard to find. Fishermen can hardly catch it on weekdays. You have to be extremely lucky to catch one. You may not be able to encounter one in the city for several years."

As soon as Lian Yue opened his mouth, several stall owners nearby joined in.

Hearing this, Nanny Chun became excited.

The shrimps are so rare that they can only be seen once every few years, but she happened to encounter them as soon as she arrived. Doesn't that mean she is extremely lucky?

I heard that the adults and masters in the city rarely eat it. If she buys it back and eats it, she will be the same as the adults and masters.

Aunt Chun was a person who cared about her reputation, so she immediately paid for the shrimps. She then had them brought to the inn where she was staying and asked the chef to cook them for her.

After returning to the house, she began to feel distressed when she saw her shrunken purse.

"My godmother, you are willing to buy shrimps worth twenty taels each. You are really capable. I wonder if Ling'er can take advantage of you and try those twenty taels of shrimps?"

Hearing her stepdaughter asking for twenty taels at a time, Nanny Chun sobbed with heartache.

Although she really wanted to kick her out, this adopted daughter was the old man's confidant and was very useful to both her and the young lady, so she had to be kept under control.

So he agreed with a smile.

"My mother and I are still talking about being polite. Of course, we should eat the shrimp together."

Upon hearing this, Ling'er was immediately delighted, and happily walked forward to give Nanny Chun a light massage on the shoulders.

"My god, there are so many delicious foods in this coastal town, but I always feel a fishy smell. There is also a lot of moisture in the room every day. I have a rash on my body. When are we going to pick up the young lady?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I still need to find out Jiang An's whereabouts first."

Nanny Chun and her group were sent by Jiang Cheng from Kyoto.

Jiang An had no news since he entered Hailing City, so Jiang Cheng was naturally worried. He wanted to send another team of guards, but his cousin said that it would be inconvenient for his daughter if they were all men. Maybe that was why they didn't bring her back.

So Jiang Cheng finally sent Nanny Chun and a few maids plus a team of guards. They were all elders in the mansion and had some rapport with each other. Plus with his handwritten letter, Jiang Cheng felt that he could definitely take his daughter back.

On one hand, she would stay in a remote village, be a pariah for life, and never marry into a good family. On the other hand, she would restore her status, become a lady from an official family, and even marry into the royal family.

Anyone who is not stupid will choose to go back to being a young lady.

Jiang Cheng had never worried that his daughter would be unwilling to go back. It was just that Jiang An never came back, which made him very angry, so he sent someone to pick her up and find out about Jiang An.

Nanny Chun had been in Hailing City for seven days. She wandered around the city every day, listening to the flattery of her subordinates. Without the orders of her master, she lived a very happy life.

Ling'er was very disappointed. If it weren't for the fact that she was still useful, Nanny Chun would have wanted to slap her away.

"After dinner, I'm going to the county government office to see the county magistrate. You come with me."

After hearing this, Ling'er rolled her eyes behind her back.

You even want to meet the County Magistrate? It's obvious that you're asking for a meeting, but you're acting like you're some big shot.

After being out for these few days, Nanny Chun really forgot her identity.

Fortunately, I am here, otherwise she would have been having so much fun that she would have neglected her husband's business.

The mother and daughter, each with their own thoughts, ate the twenty taels of lobster without any appetite.

When she went out, Nanny Chun's face became even darker.

Because Ling'er had eaten most of the shrimp, and the taste wasn't particularly amazing. In addition, the shrimp meat was very tough, and she had to chew it for a long time before she could swallow it, which was not to her taste at all.

Thinking about how she had spent twenty taels on that shrimp, she felt sick.

Feeling distressed and angry, Nanny Chun went to the county government office with a gloomy face, took out the letter from her master and asked to see Master Qin.

The letter soon reached Qin Zhen's hands. When he heard that the person who wanted to see him was just a servant of the Jiang family, Qin Zhen simply threw the letter away.

"Tell her that I'm out on a mission to understand the people's sentiments, and I don't know when I'll be back."

Jiang Cheng really has no self-awareness. He sends people here again and again. Does he think Hailing County Government is his back garden?

The master is not a good person, and the servants are not much better. I hope the people he sends this time have some brains, otherwise there might be more people being sent to the county jail.
