Chapter 768 Reporting (asking for monthly votes!)
The two thousand people Yan Yu mentioned were just the number of recruits mobilized from Xiao'an camp.
Her Boy Scout troop does not count.
Hence, when the assembly was finally completed, the number of people reached 2,200 as expected.
The boy scouts accounted for half of the extra two hundred, and the remaining one hundred were occupied by the children's biological fathers and uncles.
The training progress of Xiao'an camp is pretty good, but compared with the people of Xiao'an village who have experienced several battles, they are still a little weak.
Yan Yu needs experienced warriors.
Little warriors are qualified, but in some places it is cheaper for adults to step in.
It’s like arriving at the gate of Fucheng.
Luo San paid the fare to the city and stuffed a jar into the guard's hand.
The latter opened it and laughed: "This is a good dish to go with wine, thank you!"
"The child touched it by the river. It's not worth it. The official wants to taste something new." Luo San cupped his hands and said: "I have a lot of work at home. I haven't been to the city for a few days and I don't know what the latest market is. Except for meat, this time I also brought some river fresh pickles and other things, and asked the official if there were many people on the street these two days."
“It looks more lively than usual. The busy farming season is over, and more and more people are coming to the city to work. People have to eat. They are reluctant to cut meat, and they must be willing to buy pickles. You might think about it.”
"Hey! Just thinking about it, let's go to the south of the city first and see if the villagers can take care of some business. The official is busy."
Luo San drove his carriage into the city gate.
Several more cars entered the city one after another.
"Xiao Xiucai Yan, my congratulations to you. I heard that Miss Yan got engaged yesterday. It was so lively. We have to go on errands, otherwise we would have to come to your door to be a nasty guest and ask for a drink." The guard was busy. He pushed back the money he handed over to enter the city: "Yan Xiaoxiu has a great reputation. How can I accept your money? Please take it back quickly."
This is the first time Yan has enjoyed such treatment since becoming a scholar in Hengzhong.
In the past, people used to collect money. Why don’t they collect money now?
Yan Yu tugged on his sleeves and glanced at the bacon and enema in the basket.
Yan Xiangheng took back the copper plate.
“So, thank you very much. I’ll share the home-cooked meat with a few of you, which also adds to the joy.”
Yan Yu quickly picked out the heads and counted them.
The red ropes are all tied in advance.
Let people know what they came to the city for at a glance.
The guards on duty were very happy.
It is right for a scholar to not give it to him, but it is a generous thing for him to give it.
Several people congratulated her one after another. The people waiting to enter the city at the city gate heard that the girl of this family got engaged yesterday, and they also said a few auspicious words.
Yan Xiangheng thanked them one by one and finally entered the city gate.
“Yesterday, my eldest sister got engaged. How did they know about it?”
Yan Yu explained his doubts: "There are only a few scholars who have passed the exam this year. It's easy to remember their faces. Our family has three scholars in one discipline, the only one in Guanzhou. Yesterday, my uncle went to our house to make an appointment. Although there were few people We won’t lose the battle, Matchmaker Qi is a famous matchmaker in the city, and she has a marriage with officials on both sides, so she can’t publicize it well.”
“It’s the money to enter the city...Brother, you still have to pay it after you become a scholar, right?”
“Well, I haven’t been exempted.”
“Dad also got this kind of treatment because he became the commander-in-chief and had an official status.” Yan Yu thought for a while and said, “Maybe it’s because of Uncle Cheng. Uncle Cheng is the general magistrate of Yongning and became an in-law of our family. He has benefited from it.”
Yan Yu jumped down from the car and touched the donkey's neck comfortingly.
The donkey was obedient and looked at her with one of his bright black eyes.
"Brother, let's separate here. Most of the people are at the government office. Don't be reluctant to go to the yamen gate. The money can be seen more quickly." "Brother, brother will meet you at the palace later." Yan Xiangheng said solemnly.
“Hee hee, brother, please relax and don’t be nervous.” Yan Yu saw the tension in Yan Xiangheng’s body, “It’s calm in this city. We should have known about it in advance. It means that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so nothing will happen.”
She carried a basket on her back and two chicken coops in her hands.
“Let’s go, brother!”
Yan Xiangheng looked at her voluptuous and elegant back, and thought to be careful, but felt it was unnecessary.
When dealing with his mischievous waiter, he is probably the one who needs to be careful.
…
The further he walked toward Prince Ying's Mansion, the more people followed Yan Yu.
Several cars that entered the city separately gathered together and became a team delivering meat, vegetables, river fresh food and charcoal fire.
Going out of the back door of the palace.
Slap on the door.
As soon as the door opens.
Menzi first saw Yan Yu’s smiling little round face.
No need to say anything more, just open the door and let people in.
"Which one is heavy? Give me the light one." Menzi said with a smile, reaching out to pick it up.
Yan Yu handed him one of the chicken coops.
"Then take this, it's light." She pointed back with her free hand: "You all need to go in, some are for the princess, some are for the young master, and the one we have is for my godfather."
Menzi looked around and asked curiously: "Why so many? You give these... Oh, okay, have you written the list? These go directly to the kitchen. You can hand the list over to the imperial concubine and the young master to have a look. "
“I’ve written it, let’s get out of the way, I’m anxious to see my godfather!” Yan Yu laughed and laughed without being polite at all.
“Come in, come in.” Everyone looked familiar to me. They had either helped the waiter deliver something, or they had come to the house to deliver charcoal.
The motorcade entered the palace smoothly.
…
The prince's father-in-law hadn't even spared a glance at his beloved grandson when he saw his beloved grandson take out a drab, gray-white pigeon with disheveled feathers from the chicken coop.
Pigeon: It’s terrible. It’s terrible to be locked up with Guda! They all have wings, but just because you can’t fly, you are jealous and complain about me! !
Yan Yu pointed at it and said in a serious tone: "Sir, please look, this is a homing pigeon from Xizhou!"
The prince took it and looked at the pigeon's legs immediately.
Sure enough, there are some traces.
“Where’s the letter?”
“Here it is!” Yan Yu handed her uncle’s copy. "Originally, it was sent to Huju. This is a copy, word for word."
When the prince saw the content clearly, he was suddenly shocked!
"How dare the rebels be so bold!" The prince said with a sullen face, "He actually set his sights on the crown prince and the young master. Don't you think they have a long life?"
Yan Yu hurriedly said: "Master, when we entered the city, we asked around. Recently, there have been a lot of people on the street. They said they came to the city from the countryside to find work. This is wrong. Yesterday, during the Dragon Boat Festival, we were not at home to celebrate the festival. Coming to work in the city is unreasonable.
I am not boasting. There is a market on the first and sixth day of the lunar month in our village. Today is market day. Everyone in every village knows about it and likes to go there. When we came, we didn’t see that there were not many people at the market. Instead, we asked a few street vendors. Those who set up stalls in the sky said that those who work squatting look strange. "
"These people can't be the only ones, there must be rats sneaking in." the prince said sharply.
Yan Yu explained her uncle's arrangements again. She, her father and her eldest brother were arranged to report news everywhere.
Eunuch Wang looked a little smiling: "Mr. Yan has thought carefully."
If the monthly pass is available in the middle of the month, please beg me (*▽*)
