Chapter 766 Pigeon Transfer Station (Asking for Monthly Tickets!)
Yan Xiangheng wanted to discuss resigning from the job in the palace with his elder brother-in-law tomorrow.
Suddenly, a blessing came to his mind, and his thoughts were flying.
He considered and said: "Dad, His Majesty summoned the prince to Beijing. My elder brother-in-law and I went to Wuya Academy first, which is not far from the capital. After studying, we may do some small things for the prince."
Yan Huaiwen said gently: "Not bad."
Yan Xiangheng looked excited, as if he had touched something and was inspired.
"I have read articles written by others. Some are radical, and some of them are not enough. It is mostly because we are not familiar with the people in Beijing. Dad, do you think it is feasible for us to communicate with those people in the village?"
Yan Xiangheng was talking about his job in Huju. The King of Ying specially enclosed a place for them to handle the court reports and correspondence between Xizhou.
What he thought was that since those people were useful and were exiled from Beijing, it would be better to make full use of them and help them understand the situation in Beijing.
"Just choose the ghostwriter."
Yan Huaiwen directly gave a shortcut.
Just let them write and use it immediately.
What is the trouble to communicate?
Yan Yu nodded in agreement.
The uncle's approach is very much to her liking, saving trouble.
"If they are selected, big brother, give them some writing fees, and there is another way to make money, which is good!" Yan Yu's chubby face became serious: "They know the importance of this matter and will definitely not tell others. Big brother and big brother-in-law will get this benefit, and outsiders will forget it."
Yan Huaiwen nodded slightly.
For the caution of his own waiter.
Yan Xiangheng was shocked for a while.
He was still studying hard a few months ago. After passing the examination for a scholar, he was highly valued in the north where the literary style was not popular.
If it were a big government in the south, such an appointment would never happen.
But in Guanzhou, he and a group of his peers were used as half-officials.
Gradually faded from youth.
In just a few months, Yan Xiangheng felt that he had been reborn, which might be an exaggeration, but he deserved the title of "great progress".
But... the facts proved that he still needed to learn the way of thinking of his father and the second son.
...
"The surname Tian, his family is the fault of the old man, I heard that he is a big greedy man." Yan Laoer gossiped: "The father of Chen Xiaozi and Meng Xiaozi is said to have participated in the imperial examination fraud. It should be said that the quarry is really full of talents, and officials from any department can be selected."
Li Xuemei was in charge of the family's accounts, so she asked: "Then these four people will follow your eldest brother and brother-in-law in the future? Are they considered as long-term servants and book boys? We can't use them for nothing, right? Did your uncle say how much he would pay them? They are now criminals like the Zhang family boy, and they can't sign a contract. Your uncle is relieved and dares to use them."
Yan Laoer took over the conversation: "What I dare not. Their pulse is in our hands. Even if my eldest brother is no longer the household clerk, as long as the teacher is still in office, they can't make trouble, right, Xiaoer?"
Yan Yu nodded: "What Dad said is right. Most of these officials who came here actually have masters behind them. The old emperor did not appoint a crown prince, and the princes fought fiercely overtly and secretly. They were sentenced to exile, and they probably still have thoughts in their hearts. If their masters come to power in the future and the new emperor ascends the throne and pardons a group of people, the crime will be gone. As long as they think of them and remember their hard work, they may be able to go back to be officials and rise up."
"This is gambling! The chance of winning is not high." Yan Yu concluded.
She changed the subject and said, "On the contrary, our prince is getting more and more impressive. Our family is somewhat related to the prince's palace. Those people are very shrewd and know what's going on. Just look at the people who are paired with my eldest brother and brother-in-law this time. They have made a bet again! I understand that the days of exile are like years. If you can save yourself, you still have to fight hard. So I said that these people are full of tricks."
"That doesn't mean you don't use them." Li Xuemei said.
"Hahahaha! What am I afraid of? My uncle is the boss who laughs last. These are just little Karami!" Yan Yu was very proud.
"Tomorrow I will start the restoration of the Eight Oxen Crossbow." Yan Yu rolled happily on the kang, messing up his hair, and winked at Yan Laoer: "Dad, when we are done, let's go outside the pass and harness the horses!"
Yan Laoer's eyes lit up: "Yes, harness the horses! Let Jiuxiaofei go and look for wild horses tomorrow, let Dahei sneak in to experience life for a few days, and then send us the location at any time, hehehe!"
Yan Yu's eyes rolled around, and he suggested enthusiastically: "Dad, it's better to enjoy life alone. Lele, if Dahei goes undercover in the wild horse herd, I suggest that we change this family parent-child activity to a group sports event. We can bring a rope master like Uncle Guan over there. We can earn money by roping one. Tsk, horses are so expensive! Especially wild ones. Famous horses are born in wild horses. If we are lucky enough to catch one, it will be amazing. We can even give it to the old emperor as a tribute. Then let the prince buy it and take it to the capital. The prince is rich now. Sell it! "
When Yan Laoer heard that there was money, he was very excited.
The father and daughter chattered until midnight.
In the end, Li Xuemei couldn't stand it anymore, so she moved Xiaoyaer to Yan Laoer's side and stuffed her little feet into Yan Laoer's quilt.
Xiaoyaer was annoyed by the talking and kicked her legs.
Yan Laoer kicked her legs and she was quiet.
The room was quiet.
…
Jiuxiao flew very high. Even if we knew its range of activities, it was still difficult to see it clearly from the ground. There was only a very small black dot.
A gray and white pigeon flew from the west.
Its small eyes recognized the familiar resting place and flapped its wings excitedly.
It flew up and up again with all its might.
Finally, a black shadow passed by from high in the sky.
When the gray-white pigeon sensed that they were getting closer, it decisively folded its wings.
Two eagle claws skillfully caught it.
The pigeon was at ease.
It waited with great peace of mind.
Yan Yu was brushing her teeth in the yard, and the colorful rope tied to her wrist kept shaking up and down and left and right with her movements.
Gurgle Gurgle... Puff!
She cleaned the toothbrush and toothcup and put it back in place. Just as she was about to wash her face, she saw Jiuxiao slowly flying down.
The pigeon in the claws was released first.
The pigeon landed steadily.
It was too lazy to even take a step, and its little neck turned around to look for the two-legged beast to feed it.
Jiuxiao flew another half circle at low altitude.
Yan Yu stretched out her hand, and it aimed at the shoulder and flapped its wings to fall.
She took two steps forward, approaching the gray-white pigeon, wanting to see it more clearly.
The pigeon shrank its neck and waited.
After being picked up, it made two small coos.
Yan Yu: It's a bit well behaved. It's an old transit pigeon.
Take the bamboo tube.
Yan Yu thought about it, but didn't open it. Instead, he took the pigeon to his uncle's room.
"Uncle! Are you up? The waiter is coming in!"
"Come in!" A voice came from the room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw his uncle fiddling with the sachet in his hand and hanging it on his body.
Mrs. Tian prepared it for the family, and everyone was included.
The adults are sachets, and they are colorful ropes.
The ones for her, her elder sister and her elder brother were tied by Mrs. Tian herself.
It contains the blessings of the elders.
Yan Yu raised the pigeon in his hand.
"Hey, uncle, a fat pigeon fell from the sky. Do you want to eat roasted pigeon? Or stewed?"
Pigeon: Coo coo coo! Where's my food? Where's my food?
Waiter: I love both roasted and stewed pigeons. Pigeon, you are fat! (﹃)
Pigeon: After all, it's a wrong choice! (╥╯^╰╥)
Old Yan: Silence, thinking, the people of Xizhou are not smart, and the pigeons they raise are also very stupid...
