Chapter 188 King of Yan
Lu Qiniang did not expect Xiao Yan to be reinstated and give Daya a dowry.
She was thinking about how to save more money.
But winter is coming soon and their business has stopped. What kind of business can they do?
It's really worrying.
Moreover, Jiang Xuan always came to give gifts. If he got something rare, he would give a copy.
These are gifts to be returned.
Lu Qiniang thought, if it really didn't work out, she could give all the things Sun Shun had given her before as a return gift to the Jiang family during the New Year.
But what made her feel relieved was that Jiang Xuan and Daya seemed to be getting more and more attracted to each other.
Daya made socks and shoes for Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan often brought her some small gifts, which were not very expensive, but very thoughtful.
It's especially funny to think that a cold-faced tough guy like Jiang Xuan would buy cute little clay dolls, candied haws, and rouge.
Erya and Sanya both like this future brother-in-law.
It’s simple, my brother-in-law caters to my tastes and prepares whatever I like.
In Erya's words, even the donkey in the family benefited from it and ate the fodder that Jiang Xuan prepared for his own warhorse.
Yes, Jiang Xuan could even notice that there was not enough fodder at home and would bring it to them, which shows how thoughtful he was.
Yun Ting was unhappy. "Why doesn't he please me? Does no one care about my position in this family?"
"Why doesn't anyone care?" Erya said, counting on her fingers. "You're ranked behind my father, my mother, my eldest sister, me, my third sister, Ah Huang, the little god, and the donkey. Oh, I forgot, there's also a flock of mallards, a dozen chickens, and four wild geese. You figure out your ranking yourself."
Yun Ting muttered, "I have to thank that vicious woman from the Zhang family for poisoning those pigs. Otherwise, I would still have to queue behind the pigs!"
"Don't mention those pigs. My mother will sigh again if she hears it." Erya glared at him. "Let's go, let's go set up the stall. Oh, I wish I could get engaged someday. Then I don't have to show up in public and set up a stall."
I'm so anxious.
She should grow up quickly!
"You'll marry a street vendor and have him sell things for the rest of his life."
"Why are you so vicious? Can't you just hope for me to be okay?"
The two of them went out noisily.
Daya is also busy at home.
After putting away the shoes she made for Jiang Xuan, she opened the small box she used to store things and took out a hairpin from the bottom layer.
It was a hollowed-out golden hairpin with a butterfly, exquisitely crafted, and the butterfly looked lifelike, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly high.
This was given to her secretly by Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan treated her very well.
Daya looked at it for a while, then reached out to open the upper drawer, but after thinking about it, she withdrew her hand.
Inside were her mother's belongings, given to her by her uncle.
Daya put the things away carefully, then went to the kitchen to try baking pot cakes.
Because their business is good, there are many more stalls selling dry food nearby.
They learned from their family, and Daya, in turn, also studied the good things they sold.
So today she thought about trying to bake pot cakes.
When Xiao Yan came back, Daya had just finished baking the pot cakes, and the aroma was everywhere.
"Dad, are you closing the stall so early today?" Daya asked with a smile.
Xiao Yan said, "They haven't closed the stall yet. Your mother is guarding it with Yun Ting and Er Ya. What are you doing?"
"Baked pot cake, Dad, do you want to try it?"
"No need to taste it, Zhao Zhao, pick up half a basket of pot cakes for me and fill a jar of water for me, I will be able to use it."
"Okay." Although Daya was a little surprised, she quickly got ready according to what Xiao Yan said.
"father."
Xiao Yan glanced at her, then looked at Yun Ting's clothes drying in the yard, and suddenly said, "Put on Yun Ting's clothes, dress like a man, and then go out with me."
"Okay." Daya didn't hesitate or even ask anything. She changed her clothes and came out.
Xiao Yan handed her the bamboo hat hanging on the wall and said, "Put it on. Then carry your things and follow me every few steps, but don't come close. I'll call you when we get there."
"good."
Daya followed him as Xiao Yan said, with steady steps and a straight body, showing no abnormality at all.
Xiao Yan took her further and further away, and the place they were surrounded by went from being crowded with people to being deserted. Finally, they came to an abandoned house in the far reaches of the pier.
Xiao Yan then stopped and turned around to wave to Daya.
Daya came forward carrying something.
"Come in and talk." Xiao Yan looked carefully again and saw that there was no one around. Then he took the things in her hand and took her into the house.
There were three men inside.
It is easy to tell that the one in the middle should be the leader. He is wearing a fine brocade robe. He looks about the same age as Xiao Yan, with a dignified appearance, giving people a sense of dignity with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
It’s a pity that he looks a little anxious at the moment.
The two people next to him should be his followers or bodyguards. They are both strong young men with alert eyes, which reminds Daya of Xiaoshen.
The attendant was obviously a little suspicious about Xiao Yan bringing her here.
"Zhao Zhao, this is Prince Yan." Xiao Yan introduced, "Prince, this is my eldest daughter Zhao Zhao."
"Xiao Yan, you, you actually have such a grown-up daughter? You're hiding it really well."
"Greetings, Your Highness." Daya calmly saluted Prince Yan. Although her heart was already filled with turmoil, her face showed no sign of it. "I am the adopted daughter of my parents."
"Dad and Mom? Xiao Yan, are you married?"
"The prince is far away in Jinling and doesn't know how my father is doing." Daya said lightly.
The reason why she was surprised and nervous was that the Prince of Yan in front of her was the emperor's third son and the prince's third brother, and his fief was in Jinling.
Princes were not allowed to enter the capital without imperial edict.
The King of Yan now appears here, and his behavior can be said to be sneaky.
Daya guessed that he must have entered the capital without any imperial edict.
Some people are luring you into a trap, while others jump into the pit overnight, which is difficult to handle.
