Qian Jiujiu repeated what she had just discussed with Mu Yexiao about how to place Sanya: "I think there is no place safer than General Mu Laohei's mansion, what do you think?"
The blind woman sighed and said, "Princess, please forgive me. It is a blessing for Sanya to think about her so much. Please let your Highness decide Sanya's affairs."
Qian Jiujiu was very satisfied with the blind woman's timely response: "Okay, you have to follow us when the time comes. San Ya can't be separated from her mother. It's a good opportunity for you to take a look around the room and see if there's anything to pack. If there is, pack it up and we'll set off soon."
If she continued to stay here, the villagers would definitely feel uncomfortable. Moreover, when she saw San Ya, she also missed her children and wanted to go back early.
The blind woman looked around and could only see very blurry things. Her expression was a bit complicated. She was really going to leave here, and she felt a little disappointed: "Actually, there is nothing to pack."
Qingshan happened to come at this time. He was ordered by the village chief to come and invite the prince and princess. After all, when you come to a fishing village, you have to treat people to a meal, and these villagers took out their best things to entertain the prince and princess.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were worried about this, so they wanted to leave quickly. They didn't expect that because of San Ya's delay, these people had already prepared the meal.
Since the guests invited them, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao walked over and found that there was kelp soup in the meals. She and Mu Yexiao had eaten at several nearby docks in the past few days, but had never seen kelp soup. They thought these people didn’t know that pirates could eat it!
“What is this kelp soup made of?”
The village chief was confused, he didn't know what happened, he turned around and looked at the people in the village: "Who did this? Come out quickly."
He thought it was poisonous, and his face changed with fear. A child stood up and looked at the village: "Village, I cooked it, and I also want to thank the princess. But I don't have anything good, so I cooked this soup."
The village chief was almost angry to death, looking at the child, but the child was also kind-hearted and quickly pleaded: "Princess, the child is ignorant and doesn't know that this thing can't be eaten."
When the child heard that the food was poisonous, he quickly explained: "It's not poisonous. I ate it when I was hungry. I have eaten it many times. It's not poisonous, it's just hard to handle and wash."
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised: "Who said it's poisonous and can't be eaten? This is called kelp, it's edible. There are many things in the sea that can be eaten, not just fish, shrimp, crabs and the like, there are also seaweed and so on."
"What the kid said is right. The belt is not easy to wash and handle. But if you dry it in the sun, you can keep it for a long time. Just take it out and wash it..."
Qian Jiujiu explained in detail how to eat and store kelp. I guess there will be an extra dish here in the future.
The child was also very excited when he heard Qian Jiujiu's words. He looked at Qian Jiujiu in front of him and said, "Princess, I secretly saved a lot of kelp and gave it to you."
After saying that, she turned around and headed back home. Soon, she came back with a large pile of dried kelp and placed it in front of Qian Jiujiu: "Princess, I give it all to you. Thank you for saving our entire village and my sister today together with the prince."
Qian Jiujiu only realized at this time that the girl standing next to the child was the girl who was almost bullied by the pirates! As expected, people with conscience know how to be grateful. They didn't dislike these dishes and ate a lot with Mu Yexiao.
Just after dinner, Qingshan brought San Ya back with several bags of medicinal herbs. Qian Jiujiu told the village chief that she would take San Ya and her daughter away to prevent the pirates from targeting the village again.
The village chief had been a little worried when he heard about San Ya's situation, but now that he was about to hear that San Ya was going to leave with the princess, he felt a little envious: "Okay, princess, I understand."
San Ya now knows that she will have to leave, and she is somewhat reluctant to do so. She really likes making small things with shells, which can not only be sold for money but is also her hobby.
Qian Jiujiu saw what San Ya was hesitating about, and couldn't help but laugh: "Since you like making things with shells, you can make them in the future. You can even ask the village chief and others to help you pick up shells, and then ask Qingshan to send them to the city for you."
Sanya's eyes lit up instantly: "Is it really possible? Thank you, Princess. Where should I send Brother Qingshan to in the city?"
Qian Jiujiu said with a smile: "Just send it to the palace courtyard. When you are settled and have a fixed address, tell Qingshan and ask him to send it to you."
Qingshan stood aside. He originally thought that after Sanya left, she would not contact the people in the village. Since she would, he thought it was good: "Sanya, don't worry, I will take an hour every day to help you pick up shells. When there are enough, I will send them to you."
The problem was solved and Sanya was very satisfied. She happily packed up the things at home with her mother. In fact, there were not many things, just the shell crafts made by Sanya and some clothes for the mother and daughter.
It was the village chief who asked Qingshan to use the village's ox cart to send a few people to the city, and also let Qingshan familiarize himself with the place, otherwise Qingshan would not know the way.
Qian Jiujiu hadn't ridden a ox cart for a long time. She sat on the ox cart, which swayed slowly towards the city. She leaned on Mu Yexiao, her two feet swaying on the cart, looking very happy.
Mu Yexiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qian Jiujiu having fun by herself. He stretched out his hand to pull Qian Jiujiu onto the carriage and said, "Sit still and don't lead the child astray."
Sure enough, San Ya had been looking at Qian Jiujiu. She smiled at San Ya, which made San Ya blush. The ox cart was still swaying forward, and when passing by a pier, Qian Jiujiu smelled a familiar fragrance.
"Mu Yexiao, isn't this the taste we get when we eat spicy hot pot at home? Who stole our secret recipe?"
Before Mu Yexiao could answer, a familiar voice came: "Delicious spicy hot pot, don't miss it if you pass by."
Then there was another clear and loud voice of a little girl: "It's a beautiful head flower. Sisters who like it can buy one, brothers who like it can also buy one, and you can also buy one for the girl you like."
Hearing this voice, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. They had only been gone for a few days, so why had their children fallen to the point of selling things on the street
Mu Yexiao coughed twice in an unnatural manner: "Qingshan, go to the stall that is shouting."
Qingshan thought that the prince wanted to join in the fun again, so he drove the ox cart slowly towards the place where the shouting came from, and soon saw two groups of people gathered there.
These people still had silver in their hands. Qingshan looked at Mu Yexiao and said, "My Lord, there are too many people here."
Mu Yexiao hummed: "Then wait."
Time passed slowly, the hair flowers were almost sold out, and then there was no more spicy hotpot. The ox cart slowly approached, and Qian Jiujiu's voice rang out: "Give me a portion of spicy hotpot too."
Nan Nan didn't even raise his head and answered, "We're out of Malatang today. If you want to eat, get up early tomorrow."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. Why did her son like to set up a stall? He was totally enjoying it. And Beibei over there, almost all the things were bought by people. Beibei was very happy: "Today is another harvest day. Hey, how much did you make today?"
Nan Nan heard Bei Bei's voice, looked up and was about to answer Bei Bei, but then he saw Mu Yexiao standing in front of him. He was immediately startled and the spoon in his hand fell to the ground.
"Father, father, father, why are you here?"
Qian Jiujiu was ignored and was unhappy, so Mu Yexiao naturally stepped forward, ready to deal with the two kids. However, before he could reach out his hand, Nan Nan looked up and noticed him, while Bei Bei on the other side also saw Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu.
He immediately ran away: "Oh, the big devil is back, run quickly."
Xiao Ruoshui and the other girls had no idea what was going on, so they could only run forward with Beibei. They didn't dare to lose Beibei. General Laohei had said that they were not allowed to set up stalls, so they had to come out secretly.
If she lost the princess, she couldn't afford to pay for it even if she had ten of them, so she had to hurry after her. Qingyue followed behind her, not hurriedly, and Beibei couldn't get lost either, but was just enjoying the game of chasing each other at this moment.
Under normal circumstances, Qian Jiujiu would have chased after him, but unfortunately he was with other people today, so he couldn’t chase after him. He could only watch Beibei run away, but fortunately there was Nannan.
Nan Nan's mouth twitched. This unreliable sister actually abandoned him. Xiao Wen and others saw Nan Nan being caught. They wanted to help, but they were almost scared to death by the sound of "Father". They could only stand there, shrinking their heads like ostriches, not daring to show their heads.
Qian Jiujiu watched Nan Nan being brought over by Mu Yexiao. Before he started to teach her a lesson, some people nearby couldn't stand it anymore and said, "What are you doing? You are adults, why are you bullying a child? What? Are you thinking that there is no one on our street? Why don't you put the child down?"
One person took the lead and spoke up, and the others followed suit, wanting to speak up for the injustice. Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had never experienced such a scene where they were criticized by thousands of people, and they were a little confused for a while.
Mu Yexiao frowned and said, "I am teaching my own child a lesson, it is none of your business."
Upon hearing this, most of the people got scared, but the man who had just spoken refused to give in: "If you say it's your child, then it's your child. You look so well dressed, you're not trying to kidnap the child, are you?"
This reminded many people again. Only Qian Jiujiu laughed. She had never thought that there would be a day when they would be considered human traffickers. "This is so funny, Mu Yexiao."
Mu Yexiao's mouth twitched. He didn't understand what his wife was saying was so funny. But seeing that his wife was happy, he didn't want to argue with these unruly people.
