Chapter 75 Grand Opening
Daya shook her head. "Mother, I'm not talking about you. I'm saying that the sacred eagle was presented to the emperor. Who do you think convicted Dad in the first place?"
"Your Majesty... Are you saying that your father is afraid of running into you again? Why didn't I think of that? He's living a good life now, why would he be so uncomfortable in front of your Majesty? No, no..."
Lu Qiniang simply believed that Xiao Yan should not implicate himself by helping her.
"It's not fear. I guess my father wants to see the emperor's attitude towards him now."
Xiao Yan will not be content with the status quo.
People like him shouldn't be buried.
In him, Daya saw the admirable side of men - fearless of wind and frost, adaptable to whatever happens, and self-reliant when strong.
Even in this dock where all kinds of people gather and the relationships among the lower classes are complicated, Xiao Yan, who has just arrived, can handle it with ease.
Xiao Yan would not be willing to stay here.
He will seek reinstatement.
This eagle probably also intends to throw a stone to test the waters.
Lu Qiniang didn't quite understand what was being said, but she cared about the outcome: "How could that work? The Emperor saw a bird and then asked Xiao Yan to return to be a general? Isn't that a bit too ridiculous?"
She wasn't even so casual when she was playing house with San Ya!
"Let's wait and see." Daya said.
Lu Qiniang shook her head: "I don't understand, I don't understand."
Two days later, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture came to his house with his men and gave Xiao Yanxin's household registration to him.
"The marriage certificate was also kept as a copy."
Lu Qiniang was surprised to find that her household registration was now with Xiao Yanluo.
They are a real family here in the government office.
The most important thing is that the governor of Shuntian Prefecture brought back the bald eagle and asked Xiao Yan to raise it.
Lu Qiniang couldn't believe it.
By this calculation, didn’t Xiao Yan get his freedom for free?
She secretly asked Daya, "Is the emperor starting to think about Xiao Yan?"
Daya shook her head: "Mother, I can't see it clearly. But seeing that the Shuntian Prefecture Governor can come to our house, I think it's not a bad thing for my father."
Those who are involved in official circles have sharper noses than dogs.
"That's right. Never mind. Life has to go on as usual. Daya, do you think I should let the princess know that I'm married?"
Go tell Princess Zhaoyang that Lu Qiniang feels that she is living a miserable life.
When someone controls her, she has to obey.
If she didn't tell him, Lu Qiniang was afraid that the chickens and geese she raised would suffer.
That vicious woman is really good at poisoning people.
She comes from a small family and cannot afford such a huge loss.
"No need, mother, she must have sent someone to watch your every move."
"That's fine. I don't want to see them again anyway."
"Mom, you and Dad are getting married formally this time. Won't you set up a few tables?" Daya asked.
"What's the serious or not serious thing? If you say so, I was not serious with him before?" Lu Qiniang laughed and said, "It's fake, it's all fake."
"But this time we passed through the clear path, and the authorities have also recorded it."
"Whether to record it or not, don't we know it in our hearts? Xiao Yan is helping me, I can't be ungrateful and cling to him. After a while, if that bitch Zhang Heyao doesn't come to trouble me, I will divorce Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan just came in from outside carrying a basin with a live carp in it, shaking its head and tail.
"Dad." Daya stood up and looked at Xiao Yan with some concern.
Xiao Yan's expression remained calm. "Someone gave me a fish. I'll cook it tonight and wait for Erya to come back to eat it together."
"Oh, the little god caught a pheasant for us, and others gave us fish. It feels like New Year's Day today." Lu Qiniang said with a smile.
She named the bald eagle Little God.
But she was just shouting like that, in fact the condor ignored her completely, probably still holding a grudge against her for insulting it with the mouse.
Daya looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Dad, there's fish and meat. Why don't you take this opportunity to treat us? After all, you and my mother are married now, so shouldn't we..."
"What are you talking about!" Lu Qiniang glared at her. "What I just said to you went in one ear and out the other. Xiao Yan, don't listen to her. We're together, there's nothing we can do..."
"Let's talk about it later." Xiao Yan explained to Daya seriously, "I need to save some money."
Getting married should look like a marriage.
"good."
Lu Qi Niang: “…”
Both of them are sick.
Forget it, let’s not talk about this.
She asked Xiao Yan about setting up a stall.
Xiao Yan said, "The area has been marked out, but we need to set up a thatched shed. When we have more money, we can rent a proper shop next door."
"Rent a shop? How much money would that cost? I can't even imagine it." Lu Qiniang was shocked. "A thatched hut would be fine."
She had no money, so she didn't dare take any risks.
I dared to invest all my money in food because the food could be preserved for a long time.
Even if we can't sell it, it's not a loss as long as our family can eat it.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Let's see."
The straw hut was quickly erected, and Xiao Yan got a few sets of tables and chairs from somewhere.
He also made a hanging rack for the little god so that it could stand there to "receive guests."
The little god had pure eyes. He stood there looking down at the world, as if saying, you foolish humans.
But this did not affect the crowd's watching.
After all, the bald eagle has only been heard of, and few people have actually seen it.
On the first day of opening, the small stall was almost packed with people.
Lu Qiniang and Daya and Sanya were busy all the time, and Xiao Yan was there to help with the accounting, quickly and accurately.
Before evening, they had sold almost all the things they had brought today, leaving only two cans of pickled radish.
On the way back, Lu Qiniang hugged the money box tightly, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.
When she got home and calculated that she had sold three taels of silver a day, and the profit was probably one tael, Lu Qiniang jumped for joy.
"One tael a day. Even if I can't do this every day, twenty taels a month... two hundred and forty taels a year..."
Oh my God!
That was such a huge sum of money that Lu Qin's mother couldn't even imagine it.
"No wonder, no wonder everyone is willing to do business, the money comes in so quickly it's like robbing money."
Daya smiled and continued to cut the dried radish with her head down.
Erya was thinking about her new clothes. "Mom, how about I quit my job and come back to help?"
"Have you been wronged?" Lu Qiniang asked immediately.
"I haven't been wronged, it's just very tiring, and the money isn't much. I work so hard a month and only get one or two taels of silver. I'm so thirsty from talking about it every day." Erya complained.
"No! You have to keep working. How can a whole family rely on one business for their livelihood? Wait until we are more stable, have some savings, and the business is big, then I will let you go home."
Xiao Yan's eyes showed approval.
"Okay." Erya said, "By the way, mother, I heard that the palace examination is tomorrow."
"Ah? Yes!" Lu Qin's mother said, "Then God bless the Fifth Young Master and let him pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. Then he can ride a horse and parade through the streets. Mother will take you to see it! The Fifth Young Master is so handsome. He will look so beautiful in a red robe."
Xiao Yan cleared his throat and said, "It's getting late, time to go to bed."
"All the gods and Buddhas, may the Fifth Young Master have a smooth and successful tomorrow and become famous throughout the world."
God said that if you ask for too much, you can only fulfill half of it.
