The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Lin Yuge finished greeting the guests in front of her.

I looked back and realized I didn't recognize them.

Turning to Lin Fanghai, he asked, "Father, do you know him?"

At this moment, Lu Ziheng had already walked up to him.

He said with great enthusiasm, "Uncle Lin, I didn't expect to run into you here. How are you all doing? Why didn't Qingzhou come with us?"

Lin Fanghai snapped out of his daze and said in a calm tone, "Oh, it's Young Master Lu. My family is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Young Master Lu."

"What are you saying, Uncle Lin? Qingzhou and I were classmates. Back then, your family was convicted."

"I am but a nobody and have not been of any help, which I am already ashamed of. It is so good to meet you all here."

"This is not the Second Young Master's fault. I have been expelled from the Marquis's mansion and have started my own household. If the Second Young Master takes a liking to me, you can just call me Uncle Lin."

Lu Ziheng tapped his head with his fan. "Sorry, Uncle Lin, I almost forgot about that. Please don't take offense."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Lin Yuge.

"Little Sister Lin, don't you recognize me? We've met before."

Lin Yuge looked bewildered, but since he said that he and his elder brother were classmates, they must have met sometime ago.

He quickly greeted him, "Brother Lu, hello!"

Lu Ziheng nodded, looked at the remaining fish on the stall, and said, "Are you selling fish? I happen to have opened a restaurant here and need quite a lot of fish."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered, "Uncle Qian, hurry up, I want all these fish, pay me quickly."

Lin Yuge quickly stopped him, "Brother Lu, this isn't how business is done. Are you sure you need these fish? You don't need to do this just to help us."

Uncle Qian nodded in agreement.

Lu Ziheng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Little sister, you're overthinking it. Although I meant to help you, I'm also a businessman, and business is business. I wouldn't joke like that."

"My restaurant really needs these fish, so don't worry."

He urged, "Uncle Qian, hurry up!"

Only then did Uncle Qian step forward and weigh the remaining fish with the villagers.

Seeing that Qiu Ming was still a bit confused, Lin Yuge went over and nudged him.

He reminded her, "Uncle Qiu~"

Qiu Ming snapped out of his daze, calculated the price with a beaming smile, and then readily gave the remaining half basket of shrimp and crabs to Uncle Qian.

Seeing that the host and guests were having a good time, Lu Ziheng invited, "Come on, Uncle Lin, my restaurant is not far away. Let's go inside and have a meal. I'll treat you to dinner."

Lin Fanghai quickly declined, saying, "No, Second Young Master, it's getting dark soon, and we have to hurry back, so we won't bother you any longer."

Seeing that it was getting late, they were in a hurry to go back.

Lu Ziheng then stopped trying to keep him.

"Uncle Lin, please give my regards to Qingzhou. You must come and see me next time you visit."

Lin Fanghai nodded, and then everyone began to turn back.

It wasn't until the boat had sailed quite a distance that Qiu Ming came to his senses, recalling the thrilling events of the afternoon, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Lin, your family is truly a blessing to our village. Since you came, I feel that everything I do goes smoothly."

Lin Fanghai shook his head and said, "Village chief, you flatter us. We just did what we were supposed to do."

Qiu Dalang, who was standing to the side, agreed with his father's statement.

He said excitedly, "Uncle Lin, it's not that simple. You have no idea, when those people came to cause trouble, we almost got into a fight with them."

The villagers nearby immediately chimed in, "Yes, we all thought this trip would be another fruitless one. Who would have thought that the fisherwoman could persuade that group of people with just a few words?"

Qiu Dalang nodded repeatedly and continued, "Besides, if that young master hadn't known you, he wouldn't have been so accommodating and allowed us to keep all our fish."

The people on the boat treated the father and daughter like heroes, which made them both a little embarrassed.

Lin Yuge quickly said, "Uncle Qiu, our family is new here, so we are very grateful for everyone's care."

"Besides, we're all from the same village, so we'll naturally help each other out with these little things. Please don't be so formal."

The three boats returned to Longtang Village under the stars and moon, and everyone went home.

Lin Yuge returned home with her father, where Xie Jingwan had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them.

Seeing the two return, he told his son to set the table while asking, "How did it go? Was everything alright?"

Back home, Lin Yuge relaxed and said playfully, "Mom, don't you know who we are? With Dad and me with us, none of that is a problem."

Xie Jingwan glanced at the father and daughter and shook her head, saying, "Your father isn't that capable. If he were eloquent, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Lin Fanghai smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "We also ran into Lu Ziheng, the second young master of the Yongsheng Marquis's mansion."

"Lu Ziheng, what's he doing here?" Lin Qingzhou asked, somewhat surprised.

"Brother, that's not all. Young Master Lu also owns a restaurant in Dawankou, and he bought up all the remaining fish in the village."

"He also asked us to say hello to you!"

"That's just how Ziheng is; he's very warm-hearted towards his friends."

Lin Qingzhou nodded, still somewhat puzzled, "I just don't know why he would come to Lingnan."

Xie Jingwan reminded them, "Don't forget, that Prince Yun is also in Lingnan."

Lin Qingzhou suddenly understood.

"Yes, Ziheng is that man's cousin, so he may have come along."

Lin Yuge didn't care about anything else. She took out a small porcelain jar from her bosom and placed it in Xie Jingwan's hand. "Mother, look what I bought for you?"

Xie Jingwan opened the porcelain jar, looked at the white powder inside, and asked, "What is this?"

"I bought this pearl powder especially for you. The sun is strong at the beach, so you need to take care of yourself. See if you like it."

"I love it, I love it so much! My daughter is so thoughtful, unlike your dad, who's just a bookworm."

She glanced at her husband after she finished speaking.

Lin Fanghai looked shocked and quickly explained, "Madam, I'm innocent! I just didn't have time!"

After saying that, he looked at his daughter and said accusingly, "Daughter, when did you run away? Why didn't you call your father?"

Lin Yuge stuck out her tongue, glanced apologetically at her father, and looked at him with pity in her eyes.

"It was when I was selling fish. I'm sorry, Dad, I'll remember to call you next time."

"Alright, you're being honest yourself and blaming your daughter. Hurry up and get ready for bed!" Xie Jingwan couldn't stand it anymore and urged.

Lin Yuge quickly ran back to her room and slept soundly through the night.

The next morning, Qiu Ming summoned everyone.

Do you know what the village chief is going to say?

Those with a knack for it have already guessed it.

"It should be a distribution of silver! All the fish from yesterday were sold out."

A short while later, Qiu Ming came over.

Without saying much, he went straight to the point: "As everyone knows, all the fish from yesterday were sold out. Today, let's divide the money."

"Wang Youcai, tell everyone about the fish sale this time."
