Although Ning Pengpeng is not a native of the Great Jin Dynasty, he has lived here for so many years.

After leaving, I was still very excited to come back.

Of course, the most exciting reason is that I can finally eat a bite of green vegetables.

During these days of sea sailing, the weather is getting colder and colder.

The dishes brought on the boat from Earthworm Island were either wilted or broken.

In the next few days, Ning Pengpeng almost only drank some gruel and pickles.

She didn't expect that one day she would eat seafood until she vomited.

Ning Pengpeng was excited on the boat, but he didn't know that someone had already discovered their ship, and then quickly went to the city of Nanyue to report.

Then Cui Qingyuan took Cui Xiu and Liu Hu, who came in a hurry, and stood at the port, waiting for them to return from the voyage.

"County Lord, you're finally back!"

When the boat docked, Ning Pengpeng just held Qingniang's hand and was about to get off the boat, when she saw Cui Qingyuan walking over quickly, and said excitedly.

He thought that the county lord of Shouning would be able to come back in a month at most, but he didn't expect that it had been several months.

He was so anxious that he wondered if he was going to send another sailor battalion to Earthworm Island to see if Wan Jianglong and Shouning County Lord had been caught by that group of pirates.

Now seeing people coming, Cui Qingyuan is excited, and the old tears are about to fall.

"Master Cui, we're back!

Moreover, it also brings you a lot of good things. ”

Seeing Cui Qingyuan's excited appearance, Ning Pengpeng was also a little moved in her heart, stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

"Huh?"

When Cui Qingyuan heard the words of the county lord of Shouning, his originally moist eyes suddenly widened, and then he looked towards Wan Jianglong.

I saw Wan Jianglong nodding to him imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything.

Cui Qingyuan immediately knew that it seemed that the good things he brought back could not be known.

He secretly glanced in the direction of the ships that Wan Jianglong had returned.

Good guy, when I went, there were four, and when I came back, there were almost ten ships, hey, this is a pirate den to be cleaned up!

However, these boats are so obvious that they are not the good things that the county lord of Shouning said brought him.

Cui Qingyuan's heart was like a cat's paw scratching, and his heart was itchy, but he still accompanied the county lord of Shouning back to the city first.

As for the seized ships and the things on board, of course, they couldn't be unloaded at this port, so they directly let Wan Jianglong sail to the side of the sailor camp.

In the evening, in the dead of night, it was not too late to secretly transport the ship's contents to his palace.

When Ning Pengpeng followed Cui Qingyuan to Futai Mansion, he also secretly observed Cui Xiu today.

In the past two years, Cui Xiu seems to have grown a lot all at once, at least now, she looks very stable.

However, when he entered Futai Mansion and gave himself tea, his originally cold and distant face suddenly showed a smiling look, which made people can't help but dislike it.

"Mother-in-law, it's been a hard time!"

Ning Pengpeng took the tea he handed over, pecked lightly, and put it aside.

Then, he looked at Cui Qingyuan.

Cui Qingyuan suddenly laughed and helped his nephew say good things.

"County Lord, you see, he has been engaged to Ling Yan for almost two years.

Now that I am getting older, I am much more stable.

However, there is still a lack of virtuous helpers to help the foil.

Of course, the main thing is that I feel sorry for my nephew, who is working hard outside, but when he comes home, he is really pitiful.

I originally thought that the county lord would go and go back, but I thought I could take my time.

But I didn't expect the county lord to go to sea for several months.

Now that I'm finally back, it's better to strike while the iron is hot and give the marriage of the two of them as soon as possible, what do you think? ”

Ning Pengpeng was silent for a moment when he heard this.

This day flies really fast, in the blink of an eye, Ning Youxi is already eighteen.

If it's the New Year, it's nineteen.

At this age, in the countryside, it is already considered a late marriage.

Even for the nobles of the family, it was a little late.

In order to better let their children give birth to heirs, most of the serious nobles will not marry their daughters too early.

After all, conceiving a child too early will affect the mother's body, and it will be less likely to give birth to a healthy child.

Of course, there are more people who are gentlemen, or people who don't think about their daughters, and after marrying their daughters early, they die in childbirth or give birth to children who die early, abound.

After all, there are not many parents who are dedicated to their children.

This is also one of the reasons why Cui Xiu and Ning Youxi got engaged at the beginning, and then the Cui family agreed to wait for Ning Youxi to turn eighteen before getting married.

But if it is after this year's New Year, then Ning Youxi will be nineteen, and it will not be delayed.

"This matter, wait until I ask Youxi before making a decision!"

After Ning Pengpeng thought about it, it was not easy to make a decision directly, and he was ready to leave this decision to Ning Youxi to choose by himself.

Hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, Cui Xiu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he rubbed his hands.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, for making it happen."

Since the county lord of Shouning said that he let his daughter make the decision, it is equivalent to her not objecting.

Looking at his nephew who was full of joy, Cui Qingyuan couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

However, in the middle of the night, when Wan Jianglong transported the things on the ship to the warehouse of Futai Mansion one after another, Cui Qingyuan's smile almost cracked the corners of his mouth under the root of his ear.

Not to mention the stuffed warehouse, the empty rooms in Cui Qingyuan's backyard were all stuffed.

That's it, or deducted the share of the county lord of Shouning.

"My lord, I left my two hundred sailors on Earthworm Island!"

Looking at Cui Qingyuan, who was smiling from ear to ear, Wan Jianglong said very resentfully.

"Recruit, hurry up and recruit people, and tomorrow we will post a list to recruit new recruits.

With all this silver, are you afraid that you won't be able to raise a good naval army? ”

Cui Qingyuan waved his hand back generously.

The next day, Cui Qingyuan not only asked his master Zhang Bang to recruit new soldiers, but also personally handed over a secret letter to the capital.

The sailor battalion had just been built, and it made great achievements, not to mention the pirates, and also confiscated eight sea ships.

At the same time, chests of gold, silver and jewellery were confiscated.

There is also the county lord of Shouning who personally found minerals on the side of Earthworm Island, and the duke was selfless and dedicated to the imperial court.

After this news was sent to the capital, the capital, which was already unstable, set off another storm.

learned that the newly sealed county lord of Shouning actually had the ability to find minerals, and he also dedicated the mine to the imperial court, which really surprised many people.

"Dad, the child thought that she was just a peasant woman in the countryside, but it seems that she really can't be underestimated."

General Feng shook his head when he heard the words of his youngest daughter Feng Miaolan.

"My father has told you a long time ago that you should not underestimate anyone.

The peasant women you talked about, the high-yielding crops they found, feed the soldiers under your father and me. ”
