Shen Bingxin saw her daughter's interest and talked to her in detail.

"It costs ten taels of silver to invite someone back from the Navy. After you come back, you will be provided with food and accommodation. The day's wages are twenty coins, but here, for every kilogram of wine they sell, we will give them an extra penny."

"No wonder I'm so interested in those two people."

Jiang Mingyue paused and asked: "Are there many people like us on the island who hire navy soldiers to serve as waiters?"

"Not many yet. Most of them ask them to teach the barbarian language, but there will definitely be more and more in the future. More and more barbarians have landed on the island in the past few days."

After Shen Bingxin finished speaking, she seemed to have remembered something. She got up and went back to the house, took out a brocade box, handed it to her daughter and said, "Take the grapes and make them into jewelry."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingyue opened the brocade box and found several round pink pearls the size of soybeans. These pearls are rare things in this world.

"it's beautiful!"

Jiang Mingyue placed the brocade box in front of her daughter.

"Do you like Grape?"

"I like it! Thank you, grandma."

Shen Bingxin laughed happily.

"You're welcome!"

Then, like a magic trick, she took out a palm-sized jade and handed it to Tuanzi: "We Tuanzi also have gifts."

"Thank you, grandma!" Tuanzi said in a sweet voice and kissed Shen Bingxin, which made her extremely happy.

"Were all these things obtained from Shui Man?" Jiang Mingyue asked.

Shen Bingxin nodded.

"I brought back two fish this morning. The water barbarians call them treasure fish. I kept them in the tank. They taste great and have few spines. You can all try them at noon."

Jiang Mingyue smiled and said 'ok'.

Tuanzi couldn't stay any longer, so he just sat obediently in the main hall for a while and then took his sister out.

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the children playing outside and asked softly: "How is that barbarian girl?"

"She was unconscious more often than awake. She was so seriously injured that it will probably take more than a month before she can get out of bed and move around."

"Thank you for your hard work, grandma!"

Shen Bingxin smiled and shook her head.

"In addition to taking care of her, Xiaoshan and I can also learn barbarian language from her. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone."

"Xiao Shan?" Jiang Mingyue's impression of Jiang Shan was still that of four years ago, when he was a very shy young man.

"Yes, Xiao Shan has grown very fast in the past few years. Your father said that he was a talent that could be made, so we brought him to the island.

When we went to sea that day, it was the group of barbarians that Xiaoshan discovered first.

He learned the barbarian language very quickly and was able to communicate simply with the barbarians, so he has been our translator these days. "

"I see!"

Shen Bingxin glanced outside to make sure Tuanzi and Putao wouldn't come in and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Yin Yun and the others?"

"I only met Yin Yun, but I haven't met Ruhua and the others yet. I'm planning to send them a message in the next two days to invite them to come out and get together."

Shen Bingxin nodded, thinking that her daughter had not replied for four years, so she reminded her a few words.

After what her mother said, Jiang Mingyue had a general understanding of her former sisters, but what she didn't expect was that Xiaoxue would be so courageous, even breaking away from her family in order to marry the one she loved. relation.

"Xiaoxue's husband-in-law is the bodyguard who has been with her before?"

"Yes, it's him!"

"I remember his surname is Ning."

"Well, he is a very motivated person and very capable. Your father admires him very much. Last year, he was sent to the military camp through connections. Now he is working under General Zhao and is already a centurion."

"As long as you keep improving, Xiaoxue will always be able to survive."

"That's the truth."

Shen Bingxin took a sip of tea, looked at her daughter and reminded: "If Yang Hui leaves a post for you, you reject it directly without seeing her."

"Actually, she posted a message for me yesterday, when I was entertaining Yin Yun..."

Jiang Mingyue briefly explained the matter to her mother.

Shen Bingxin asked nervously: "You know everything?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded.

Shen Bingxin sighed and held her daughter's hand: "My son-in-law is a fifth-rank official at a young age. Not only is he outstanding in ability, but he is also good-looking. Everyone knows that he has a bright future. This kind of thing may happen often in the future. Although I know you have a good relationship, but you should be more careful."

"Well, I see!"

While Jiang Mingyue was chatting with her mother, Xie Yuan, who had been strolling around the island for a while, came to his colleague Guo Jia, who was now managing all affairs on the island.

In the thirty-fifth year of Guo Jianian's reign, he was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Yuanhe. He was a very capable person, but the prefect did not realize this when he took office and only asked him to be a household secretary.

Three months after Xie Yuan took office, after having a detailed understanding of various officials, he promoted Guo Jia and entrusted him with important tasks.

"I've met you, sir!" Guo Jia walked out from behind the desk and bowed in salute.

"No need to be polite, sit down!"

Xie Yuan first talked about what he saw, affirmed Guo Jia's ability, and then made two suggestions.

First, the dock in the north is too small and needs to be expanded. Not only do they have to consider landing in Shuiman, but as the transaction between the two parties deepens, they will also use the dock to enter Shuiman.

Secondly, it is summer now, and the environment on the island is too bad. There are many mosquitoes around. If one of them is not treated well, there is a high possibility of a plague outbreak.

The children's resistance is too weak, so they will issue an announcement that children will not be allowed to enter the island in the next three or four months, and they will not allow open defecation. You can ask someone to collect feces every morning and transport it to the human feces island for retting.

If patrollers find anyone defecating in public, they will be immediately kicked off the island and will never be allowed to return to the island again.

Considering that more and more water barbarians will land on the island in the future, a few toilets can be built at the north pier. After the water barbarians land on the island, they can be reminded to go to the toilet to solve their three emergencies.

Then some mosquito repellent can be planted around the island. First, it can repel mosquitoes in summer. Second, the mosquito repellent will emit a unique aroma and can also improve the environment on the island.

Half an hour later, Xie Yuan left Guo Jia, found his father-in-law, and went back to the wine shop together.

At noon, Jiang Mingyue ate the treasure fish that her mother mentioned. The meat was delicious, the fish soup was delicious, and there was no fishy smell at all.

Two precious fish, one of which was just grapes and dumplings.

In the afternoon, Xie Yuan led his wife and children around the island for half an hour, and then left with them. Jiang Mingyue originally wanted to stay with her parents on the island for two days, but they refused to let her go, saying that The environment on the island is too bad, and there are many mosquitoes at night, which is not good for eating dumplings and grapes.

On the passenger ship, Xie Yuan saw that his wife was a little unhappy looking at Crucian Carp Island. He reached out and took her into his arms and said warmly: "Crucan Carp Island is very close to us. If you want to come in the future, you can come over at any time."

Jiang Mingyue nodded slightly.

It was already dusk when the family of four returned to Yuanjiang Mansion. Xie Yuan looked at his wife and daughter and discussed, "How about we eat out today?"

"Okay! Let's go to Wangjiang Tower! I haven't been there for four years and I really miss it."

Xie Yuan responded warmly, "Okay!" '

"Mom and Dad, is the food at Wangjiang Tower delicious?" Tuanzi looked at the two of them and asked curiously.

Jiang Mingyue smiled and started popular science with them.
