A family of four came to the island. Jiang Mingyue saw several children leaving with dumplings and grapes in their arms. She turned to look at Xie Yuan: "Are you going to the wine shop with me first or the Yamen first?"

"Go to the liquor store first."

Xie Yuan sent his wife to a wine shop to talk to his mother-in-law before leaving.

Jiang Mingyue helped her mother walk into the main hall, looked at several greeting cards on the table and asked, "Who posted the message?"

"Shang and Lu's family."

Jiang Mingyue was a little surprised: "So formal? What is the purpose?"

"My ambition is your brother."

Jiang Mingyue blinked and asked uncertainly, "Do they want to marry our family?"

Shen Bingxin smiled and said 'hmm'.

"That won't work. I already have someone I like."

Shen Bingxin was surprised and happy when she heard this.

"No wonder your father always shirks it when I talk about his life-long events. Please tell me about that girl."

Jiang Mingyue slowly told her mother.

At the same time, Xie Yuan and Guo Jia quietly left the Man Language School.

"For some reason, many scholars have come to the island recently, and most of these people are from other places. After entering Crucian Carp Island, the first thing they do is come here to learn the barbarian language. When there are more people, the school becomes a bit crowded."

Xie Yuan lowered his voice and reminded him.

"There will be more and more people in the future, so let's expand two more schools!"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed and he said respectfully: "Yes!"

"I found some Mr. Shuiman years ago, and they will teach the Man language from now on."

"Yes!"

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Yuan and Guo Jia separated and came to the north pier. He only waited here for a while before meeting Zhao Mingli.

Xie Yuan handed the letter he wrote yesterday to Zhao Mingli, who handed it to Mulanzhu. The main message was that the New Year was coming soon and he hoped Mulanzhu would let Luan Yi and the others come back to reunite with their families.

In the wine shop, Shen Bingxin listened to her daughter's story and happily walked around the house twice before slowly calming down: "Should we start buying some properties for your brother? Princess Qinghe has suffered so much before. Sin, when it comes to our house, we can’t let her suffer any more.”

"Next year! After my husband and I return to Beijing next year, we will start buying property for Minghong."

"Row!"

At noon that day, Jiang Mingyue and the others had a meal outside. During the meal, she asked about her brother and Shen Yu, and learned that they had adapted to life on the island and could now speak a few simple words of barbaric.

After Shen Bingxin saw off her daughter and son-in-law in the afternoon, she glanced at her son, smiled, pulled her husband aside, and whispered to him.

Jiang Minghong looked at this scene and touched his nose in embarrassment. His sister should have told his mother about him and Qinghe.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, news of the potatoes came back to Kyoto, and the whole court was surprised and happy. At the same time, they also remembered Jiang Minghong who brought the potatoes back to Dachu.

In the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, Xie Yuan received the letter from the Holy Emperor and immediately took action. After celebrating his children's fifth birthday, he donated the potatoes, the national treasure of Chu, to the Shuiman Kingdom in a very grand manner.

In the late twelfth lunar month, Luan Yi and Qi Yongsi finally returned to Crucian Carp Island. Xie Yuan, who had received the news in advance, led a group of people to greet them personally.

Xie Yuan thanked the barbarian soldiers who escorted them back, and after taking care of Luan Yi and the others, he had time to talk to Luan Yi and Qi Yongsi alone.

The two of them first told him about the internal situation of Shuiman Kingdom. Due to the spread of chickenpox, Mulanzhu was furious and killed many powerful people who had interfered with the matter and fueled the situation. She finally secured her position as queen, but she also lost the hearts of the powerful people. She wanted to stabilize the domestic situation in the future. We still need to rely on their great Chu.

"What is the attitude of the water barbarians towards us now?" Xie Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

"It's quite contradictory. They are somewhat hostile to us, but they have to rely on us."

It was pretty much what he expected.

"After we donated the potatoes to the Water Barbarian Kingdom, what was the reaction from the Water Barbarian Country?"

"This incident caused a great sensation. They didn't expect that we would start planting potatoes early, and they didn't expect that we would be so sincere and donate potatoes to them. Because of potatoes, they have treated us so much during this period. Very friendly.

Perhaps the Queen felt a little ashamed of us, so she not only let us come back readily, but also asked us to bring back many gifts in return. "Qi Yong thought.

You must know that the chicken pox in the Water Man Kingdom has been solved by them a long time ago. They asked to come back several times, but the Queen rejected them for various reasons. She even used a honey trap. It was obvious that the Water Man Kingdom did not intend to let them go. came back, and the potatoes made them change their attitude.

"You have worked hard during this period. When you go back, take good care of Aunt Luan and your siblings. They are very worried about you."

Luan Yi and Qi Yongsi nodded.

On New Year's Eve, the people of Yuanjiang Prefecture spontaneously came to Yuqian Hutong. They placed lanterns made by themselves at the door of Xie Yuan's house to pray for blessings.

In the past six years, under Xie Yuan's governance, Yuanjiang Mansion has become more prosperous day by day, and the people have become richer and richer year by year. They are grateful to Xie Yuan, and they also know that this year is his last year in office. They all want to do something for him. Xie Yuan wanted to do something to express his gratitude. After thinking about it, the only thing he could do was to make a prayer lamp for him with his own hands.

No one told them how to place these lights, but the people placed them very neatly, row after row.

The people of Yuanjiang Prefecture all knew that Xie Yuan and his wife had a very good relationship, so most of these blessing lamps had words like "Longevity together, many children and many blessings" written on them.

Occasionally, some people would put down their lamps, take their grandchildren or sons, kowtow in front of the door, and leave quietly.

The lights twinkled in the dark night, like stars in the sky.

In the main hall, Xie Yuan and Jiang Mingyue, who had already known the situation outside, knew that the people had left and said, "Let's go out and take a look!"

"it is good!"

When the couple walked out, Tuanzi and Putao followed them. The moment they opened the courtyard door, Tuanzi let out a 'wow' sound.

"So many lights! So beautiful!"

Jiang Mingyue looked at the lights that looked like stars one after another, reached out and held her husband's hand, her heart filled with pride.

Although it was cold and snowing in the sky, Xie Yuan's heart felt as warm as spring. At this moment, he felt that six years of hard work, hardship, and effort were all worth it.

"Mom, why do you put this lantern in front of our house?" Tuanzi looked up at his mother and asked.

"In Yuanjiang Mansion, red lights represent blessings and prayers. People send lights to show that they love your father very much."

Tuanzi said "oh".

The family of four stood at the door for a long time, until the lights gradually went out. When they turned around, Jiang Mingyue whispered a few words to Apple. These lamps were of great significance, and she planned to keep them all.

Years later, Xie Yuan called together all the officials of Crucian Carp Island and determined the plan for Crucian Carp Island for the next year, which was to buy potatoes and buy as many potatoes as possible.
