Shui Ling followed Bai Rui suspiciously to a temporary flower shed, where a man and a woman were sitting chatting.

There were vines on the four walls of the garden shed, so no one could be seen inside, but the chattering looks were definitely not the two people I thought.

Standing at the door was a little eunuch with a round head and a very excited look.

When he saw Shui Ling, he immediately came forward and knelt down, "See you, Princess."

Shui Ling nodded, "No courtesy."

The people in the flower shed rushed out and hugged Shui Ling, "Sister, I miss you."

Shui Ling patted her helplessly, "Why are you here?"

I thought it was the married Princess Ping'an who came, but it turned out that it was Wu Meiran who came. The person there must be this guy from Lan Mocheng.

Sure enough, Lan Mocheng came out and smiled silly, "Sister, I think... a mythical beast."

He didn't dare to say that he missed Shui Ling like Wu Meiran. If Gong Qianyu heard it, would he lose a piece of his skin?

Shui Ling smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Wu Meiran pursed her lips, "I have no home."

"What's going on?" Shui Ling didn't understand what he meant.

Isn’t Wu Meiran a relative of the Lan family?

Lan Mocheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "I said I wanted to marry her, but our family has a rule that cousins ​​do not intermarry, so Meiran had no choice but to register separately."

"Ah? But this doesn't change the relationship between you and me as cousins." Shui Ling felt that this was a cover-up.

Lan Mocheng smiled slightly, "We were not cousins ​​to begin with. Meiran was the child picked up by my aunt, so now she is a single family."

Shui Ling pretended to be surprised and asked: "Then she doesn't have a dowry?"

Lan Mocheng flat-mouthed and said with infinite grievance: "I didn't get a betrothal gift either. My brother kicked me out and asked me to earn it myself."

Shui Ling, "..." is so stingy.

However, I also agree with Lan Wangxin's approach, which will not put pressure on Wu Meiran, but I have a question that I have been curious about for a long time, and now I can ask it.

"Lan Mo City, don't your Lan family do typesetting? For example, if your brother's name is Lan Wangxin, should you call him Lan Wang?"

Lan Mocheng suddenly straightened his back and became proud, "We are arranging the characters, which are the characters of Mo. My brother has inherited the identity of the national master, so he has to distinguish it. So it can be said that he is not a member of the Lan family, hehe..."

Shui Ling was speechless. He looked quite proud. I really don't know what he was proud of.

Wu Meiran said: "The emperor said that there are many business opportunities here and it is easy to make money. He asked me to come and join you and follow you."

"I can do anything as a maid. You will definitely not miss out on my monthly salary. Then I can live and eat for free and get money for my future dowry."

Shui Ling coughed dryly, Jinse's calculation was really good, but he was right, he would indeed provide food and accommodation, but if he wanted to get money for free, there was no need to discuss it.

She nodded and said, "It just so happens that I am short of manpower for construction here. Since they are here, they will work for me, with food and accommodation included. I will wait until I earn the money."

The two of them were not disappointed by Shui Ling's words. Instead, they were very happy. This showed that they did not value money and just wanted to come here to have fun.

"Okay, okay, I knew you wouldn't leave us alone." Wu Meiran shook Shuiling's arm excitedly.

Shui Ling's eyes fell on the little eunuch, "What about you? What are you here for? I don't believe you are here to escort them."

The little eunuch smiled and said: "This slave is here to convey a message. The emperor said that it is more difficult here for the princess, so there is no need to report everything. You can do whatever is convenient for you."

Shui Ling was silent for a moment. This was a clear message to herself that if anything happened, don't come to him and solve it yourself.

She still asked clearly: "So who are the people in Qionghai City, what are their identities, and I have the final say on who becomes an official?"

The young eunuch nodded, "Yes, when things are stable in the future, all you need to do is submit a job roster. The emperor will not send anyone here, so the princess has to hold multiple positions until she finds the right person."

Shui Ling, "..." Is he helping himself? Why don't he believe it?

Forget it, whether he is not arranging people here to help him or to avoid trouble, he will be more comfortable this way.

It would be disgusting if someone from the capital came to serve as an official, even though they were lower than themselves, but they would always say, "No, I want to report it to the emperor and let him make a decision."

"You guys need to find your own room first. There are quite a few ready-made houses here. I'll go to the beach to catch some fish. I'll tell you about the current situation during dinner tonight."

Wu Meiran said: "I want to go too."

"Let's go." Shui Ling nodded.

Anyway, these two curious babies are indispensable, so Shui Ling can only take them to the fishing ground.

Lan Mocheng looked at it and asked, "Why don't you sell the fish here?"

Shui Ling shook his head, "We won't sell it for the time being. How can there be a shortage of fish near the seaside? If we want to sell it, we have to make it into non-staple food and sell it. We can make more money."

"What is the non-staple food?" Lan Mocheng asked again.

Shuiling forgot that there was no word "non-staple food" here, and quickly explained, "Rice, noodles, etc. are called staple foods, and non-staple food is food other than staple food."

"Oh, to be honest, it's just snacks," Lan Mocheng replied.

Shui Ling chuckled, so that’s it.

Wu Meiran squatted on a big rock and pointed into the water and asked: "What kind of fish is that? It has such big eyes."

Shui Ling looked over and saw an extremely large eye, which was staring at Wu Meiran.

Just before they had time to react, a pink arm stretched out from the water and wrapped around Wu Meiran, dragging her down into the water.

Lan Mocheng immediately jumped down to save the people, but both of them were swept down.

Shui Ling sighed, when did a big octopus come into his place?

She took out her dagger and jumped into the water. When she saw the big arms and legs stretched out, she immediately cut them off.

The big octopus didn't feel it was in danger yet, so it changed its tentacle and continued to attack.

Shui Ling avoided the tentacles and swam to the back of its big head, found the nerve part and cut it off.

The big octopus immediately became obedient. Shui Ling took out a rope and tied it to the big octopus.

Lan Mocheng had already pulled Wu Meiran ashore. Both of them were very strong and they didn't even faint.

Shui Ling glanced sideways, "There are many unknown dangers in the sea, so don't mess around."

Wu Meiran rubbed the sea water on her face with her arm and smiled, "I didn't realize it. Can that big guy eat it?"

Shui Ling dragged the big octopus ashore and said, "If it's edible, let's just eat octopus today."

The three of them dragged the big octopus back and cleaned it in the large water tank next to the well.

Fresh octopus is peeled and sliced, cut with a knife, rolled into flowers when passed through water, white and tender, stir-fried with spicy sauce until fragrant.

During the meal, there were five people around the table, Shui Ling, Wu Meiran, Ye Xin, the little eunuch and Lan Mocheng.
