A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

The carriage traveled on the official road for four days before switching to a boat and beginning to travel by water.

Although the boat rocked in the water, it was still better than the bumpy ride of a horse-drawn carriage.

Tian Denghua and Song Yanyan were in the same cabin. With nothing to do, they would either go to the first-class barracks to enjoy the scenery or do needlework in the room.

Since Fusu Hehua was born, Tian Denghua has never been separated from her grandchildren for so long. She sighed, feeling a little nostalgic for them.

Song Yanyan advised her mother: "Anyway, my sister-in-law will be going to the capital in a few days. We can take advantage of this time to establish ourselves in the capital. When my sister-in-law brings Fusu Hehua and the others, we won't be left without food and clothing."

Tian Denghua nodded, then sighed and murmured, "I understand the reasoning, but I still want to squeeze Fusu Hehua's chubby feet again..."

As Tian Denghua was feeling melancholy, someone knocked twice on the porthole from the outside, and then pushed it open.

It was Zhao Annian, holding three fishing rods and beaming. "Third Sister, I found some good stuff—want to go fishing?"

Before Tian Denghua could respond, Zhao Annian enthusiastically called out to Song Yanyan, "Yanyan, come on over! I found three!"

Song Yanyan cheered and enthusiastically agreed, "Great!"

Seeing her daughter so happy, Tian Denghua smiled and shook her head, but did not refuse, and followed Song Yanyan out of the cabin.

This is a passenger ship with fairly good decor and comfort, but there are only a few people scattered on the deck.

Zhao Annian was clearly very skilled at fishing. He easily helped Song Yanyan find a good spot to cast her line, and then helped Tian Denghua adjust her fishing line before casting his own rod into the water.

A gentle river breeze blew, not strong, but it made people feel quite at ease.

It was Song Yanyan's first time fishing on a boat, and she was very curious. She stood on tiptoe, craning her neck to look down, and muttered, "Can you really catch fish?"

Tian Denghua couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at Tian Denghua's no longer young profile, which had gained a charm from the passage of time, Zhao Annian found her even more attractive than the little girl he remembered.

For some reason, Zhao Annian felt a burning sensation on his cheeks and quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Tian Denghua again.

Perhaps it was a perk for beginners, because Song Yanyan's fishing rod soon started moving.

She was so excited that she dared not move, gripping the fishing rod tightly in her hand, and kept calling out to Zhao Annian, "Second Uncle! Second Uncle!"

Zhao Annian immediately went over, took the fishing rod from Song Yanyan, pulled the rod, and a very beautiful white-scaled fish leaped up and was caught!

Song Yanyan was incredibly excited: "Second Uncle, Second Uncle, I caught one!"

Zhao Annian smiled and nodded: "It seems that Yan Yan has some talent for fishing. She caught the white-scaled fish, a local specialty of this river, in just a short while. The fish has delicate flesh and no large bones, so it is suitable for steaming. Put the fish in the bucket, and I will ask the boat's cook to prepare it for you tonight as an extra meal."

Song Yanyan nodded repeatedly, put the fish into the bucket, and resolved to catch another one.

Zhao Annian watched for a while before returning to Tian Denghua's side and continuing to sit there fishing with her.

The river breeze still brushed against their faces, and both Zhao Annian and Tian Denghua felt a sense of tranquility, as if they had stolen a moment of peace from their busy lives.

Just as the two were enjoying a rare moment of peace, someone attempted to raid their home.

In the blink of an eye, a tall, slender young man approached Song Yanyan and started chatting her up.

"Wow, you're amazing, young lady. You actually managed to catch a fish."

The young man smiled at Song Yanyan.

Song Yanyan found the young man's words rather strange. What did he mean by "can really catch fish"?

Does she look like someone who can't catch fish?

But Song Yanyan wasn't that rude; she politely replied, "Thank you."

He continued to stare at her fishing rod.

Undeterred, the young man walked to the railing and stared at Song Yanyan's fishing rod with her.

Even though Song Yanyan was completely focused, she couldn't completely ignore the living person standing next to her.

"..." Song Yanyan was speechless.

Is this guy a bit too idle?

But after standing together for a while, the young man probably felt that they had developed a kind of "friendship" through their shared love of fishing, and he chuckled and asked, "Are you also going to the capital, young lady?"

Song Yanyan gave a perfunctory "hmm".

The young man said to himself, "What a coincidence, I'm also going to the capital. I'm my father's illegitimate son. My father raised three legitimate sons, each one more useless than the last. He had no choice but to remember me, his illegitimate son. With a single order, he summoned me to the capital."

Song Yanyan: "..."

No, stranger, given our lack of any real connection, it seems a bit offensive for you to suddenly bring up such a private matter!

What should she reply to?

Reply: "Wow, how pitiful you are?"

She replied, "Get out of the way, don't bother me."

Song Yanyan fell silent.

Seeing that Song Yanyan didn't speak, the young man smiled even more brightly: "...Miss, my surname is Yu, and my name is Yu Youshan. May I ask what your name is?"

Song Yanyan was still inwardly complaining, but when she heard the name "Yu Youshan," she froze, stiffly turning her neck to look at Yu Youshan.

In that dream, Yu Youshan was a merchant who provided money to many traitors in the *** government!

All she remembered was that this man was a business prodigy. It seemed that Luo Jinyu had done him a favor, so he went to the *** mansion. Finally, when Crown Prince Xin Yibei led people to confiscate the *** mansion, he was pressed to the ground, his face submerged in the rainwater, looking extremely disheveled.

“…” Song Yanyan fell silent.

Could this be considered God chasing after Luo Jinyu and stuffing opportunities into her hands?

Remembering her grand ambition to kill Luo Jinyu, Song Yanyan perked up and said to Yu Youshan, "My name is Song Yanyan, and I am indeed going to settle down in the capital right now."

Yu Youshan never expected that Song Yanyan, this seemingly indifferent girl, would suddenly show him such a bright and cheerful kindness.

Yu Youshan was somewhat flattered.

Song Yanyan was also scrutinizing Yu Youshan.

This Yu Youshan, who seems a bit neurotic, doesn't match the cold and cunning businessman in my dream at all.

Song Yanyan pressed her temples, thinking of a solution.

Yu Youshan spoke up first, smiling, "Is the young lady worried about the difficulty of living in the capital? Actually, there's no need to worry too much. Although the cost of living is high everywhere in the capital, it's also faster and easier to earn money than elsewhere. I see that the young lady has a clear mind and bright eyes; she is clearly an intelligent person. When she goes to the capital, she will definitely live a good life."

These kind words... Song Yanyan found that she actually quite liked hearing them.

Hehe, it sounds nice and I like it, you can say more.

Song Yanyan curled the corners of her lips and sincerely thanked Yu Youshan.
