Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

"What did you say?"

"Your eldest sister went to the capital city?"

Zhong Congyun is a very good-tempered person. Xu Yiyi kicked him into the river in the morning and came to apologize with things in the afternoon.

"What is she going to do?"

Zhong Congyun licked his lips, worried that Xu Yiyi would go directly to the provincial capital to find his father to cancel the engagement.

"My eldest sister is going shopping."

Er'er's feelings towards Zhong Congyun were a bit complicated. Before this morning, she didn't dislike him, but now he has become the same as when they first met.

My eldest sister was very sad when my father just passed away.

In addition to going to the beach every day, he was looking forward to Zhong Congyun's appearance.

Unfortunately, it was more than a month later that I saw his figure. My father had been buried and all matters had been settled.

Er'er is still ignorant about matters of the heart, but she feels that this shouldn't be the case.

Uncle Haisheng from the fishing village went out to sea and encountered a storm. His boat was overturned and he hit a reef, becoming paralyzed on one side of his body.

As the eldest child in the family, Sister Xinyu not only had to take care of her younger siblings, but also had to take care of her sick mother. During that time, she felt like she couldn't make ends meet.

But Sister Xinyu's fiancé's family is very loyal and not only come to help take care of her from time to time, but also pay for Uncle Haisheng's medical treatment.

She knew that she couldn't force it, but when her elder sister needed comfort the most, Zhong Congyun didn't show up.

Combined with the Zhong family's attitude towards them, we can understand this.

This marriage won't last long.

The afternoon sun was bright and warm, and standing on the beach felt like standing on a stove. Xu Yiyi had no choice but to go back to the inn to rest.

After Xu Yiyi left, Zhong Xiang wrote a letter to his wife, asking her to visit Xu's house with gifts.

Anyone who can get the turtle talisman of the Zhechou Duwei must have good connections.

The highest official position held by Zhong Xiang's family in Chang'an was only a third-rank chief architect, in charge of royal construction projects, and the younger generations were not capable of taking on important tasks.

If Zhong Xiang wants to return to Chang'an, his family can't help him.

But Lin Ke was different. Although he was only twenty-five years old, he was already a powerful official of the fourth rank. His grandfather was the Grand Tutor of three dynasties, and his father was the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince.

One is of the first rank, and the other is of the second rank.

In addition, several of his brothers held high official titles.

Lin Ke came here to gild his reputation. If he could get Lin Ke's recommendation, he might be able to return to Chang'an.

Even if you are an idle official, you are still at the center of power.

It's better than being a lieutenant here, patrolling every day and getting tanned, and the salary is not high.

The key is the danger. Pirates are rampant and wars have to be fought from time to time.

If Xu Yiyi knew what he was thinking, she would probably laugh out loud.

At this moment, Xu Yiyi, who had returned to the inn, was eating futuan (a kind of noodle soup) with sesame cakes and a plate of steamed shrimp.

The owner of the inn should not be a local of the city, otherwise this inn would not have this kind of food.

Xu Yiyi took a look and saw that the inn mostly served noodles.

Most people here eat rice.

However, the steamed buns made with seafood sauce are so delicious that they will make your tongue fall off.

The bowl is full of oysters, clams, abalone, and flower crabs, and the noodles are negligible.

But the price is also quite beautiful.

Gently peel off the shrimp's thin shell to reveal the jade-white and firm shrimp meat inside. Dip it in the inn's special dipping sauce. The sweetness of the shrimp meat and the subtle flavor of the dipping sauce are intertwined, which is simply delicious.

The only drawback is that the shrimps are not very big, but it is not easy to eat fresh seafood during the fishing ban period.

I was in a good mood after eating and drinking, but when I returned to the room, I found something was wrong.

The bag had been moved, but nothing was missing and it was even restored to its original state.

But the knot here is different from the one Xu Yiyi tied.

Without hesitation, she asked the innkeeper to check out and went directly to Qingfeng Inn.

This top-notch inn with a government background is four stories high. Some of the waiters there even know kung fu, so safety is guaranteed.

Xu Yiyi spent one or two taels of silver to get a private room.

As soon as we entered, the waiter quickly brought over two buckets of hot water and served snacks and tea. The service was better than that of Tongfu Inn.

The next morning, Xu Yiyi ate a bowl of wontons and hurried to the dock.

I came with nothing, but left with a lot of things.

In addition to returning the engagement gift to the Zhong family, Xu Yiyi also bought new fabrics to make clothes for the children. Zhan Jilan's clothes were too colorful, and Wuyuan was still young so he could ignore them, but Sanchuan and Sihai would feel uncomfortable if they wore them like that.

She didn't know how to make shoes, so she bought two pairs for each person.

There are also some small toys. I originally wanted to buy books, but they were too expensive, so I have to wait until next time.

When the merchant ship arrived, Xu Yiyi was stopped just as he was about to take out his household registration.

Lin Ke came over with several large bags of things and not only delivered them to her room on the second floor, but also specifically instructed the steward on the ship to help take care of them.

It was at this time that Xu Yiyi realized that the boat fare on the second floor was different from that on the first floor.

When she came, she bought a seat on the first floor, but why did no one stop her when she went up to the second floor?

"If you have anything important to sell in the future, you can come to me. I can help you find a suitable merchant. You were very careful yesterday, but those people are too ruthless. You have money in your pocket, so they are targeting you."

Xu Yiyi was a little confused.

"Some of the famous shops in the city are basically run by aristocratic families. The news leaked out as soon as you left. Don't come here for the time being."

The owner of Songge is quite nice, but it's a pity that he can't make the decision.

The master behind the scenes was unhappy when he knew that Xu Yiyi had taken two thousand taels of silver from him and wanted to get it back.

Fortunately, Xu Yiyi had the silver with him, so he was able to keep the money.

"Thank you, Master Lin. I will be careful."

Xu Yiyi's consciousness did not change for a while, and he still thought it was the same legal society as before.

"You don't need to thank me. Your father and I are friends, and friends don't talk about these things. Take these things back and treat your brothers and sisters well."

Lin Ke only found out yesterday that Xu Yinli's wife had left behind several young children and ran away.

He couldn't tell anyone about Xu Yinli's affairs, but his children could help take care of him.

The matter of breaking off the engagement could not be delayed, so Xu Yi got off the boat and entrusted his luggage to someone he knew in the village, and bought some fish cakes at the dock to fill his stomach.

After entering the town, they found a matchmaker and then went to the Zhong family together.

At this time, Zhong Congyun was on duty. He was also a palace soldier, but he was in the town.

"Don't you really regret canceling the engagement?"

Matchmaker Fang felt a little sorry for Xu Yiyi. She was a good child, but her fate was not so good.

"After all, there's still a huge gap between my family and the Zhong family. Her mother doesn't like me and has long wanted to cancel the engagement. There's no point in pestering her further."

Matchmaker Fang did not try to persuade him when she heard this. Life would be difficult if she couldn't find a daughter-in-law that her husband's family liked.

Isn’t she herself an example of this?

It may be bad for your reputation after breaking off an engagement, but it can also screen out some people who are not sincere.
