Chapter 373 The Current Situation of Taixi

"Sister-in-law Chaosheng, brother Chaosheng brought back an imperial pearl." The dark-skinned young man got off the boat and placed the pearl wrapped in layers of rags into the young woman's arms.

The young woman held the cloth bag and cried: "Goddess of Poseidon, I don't want the emperor's pearl, I want the tide to come back, I want the tide to come back."

The older woman stopped her and cried with her, while the young child pulled at the corner of her mother's clothes in fear.

The strong men carried the people who died in the sea from the boat, covered them with black cloth, and headed to a small village not far from the seaside.

Pan Yushuang saw the afterglow of the sunset shining on the sea, making the waves sparkle.

Ships came back one after another with colorful flags. As long as they were not black, there were cheers from the shore.

"Go back." Pan Yushuang turned around.

Bai Zhi followed: "Many people die every year."

"I brought a model of the warship, and then wrote a letter to the Queen, asking Medel and others to design a bigger ship. People will be much safer when going to sea with big ships." Pan Yushuang said calmly.

Bai Zhi whispered: "The housekeeper of the Bai family just now was afraid that things would get serious. Otherwise, I would have thought that I could take the opportunity to have a fight with the Bai family."

"Oh?" Pan Yushuang smiled and looked back at Bai Zhi: "I thought you were afraid."

Bai Zhi smiled bitterly: "Of course I'm afraid, but there are many benefits to making a fuss. No matter what, I have to give my master a reason to be invincible."

"Smart." Pan Yushuang shook his head: "It's a pity that the Bai family is not stupid. That Bai Hesheng is of no great use. But who is the eldest son of the Bai family? That posture seems to represent the Bai family."

Bai Zhi frowned and thought for a long time: "I have never seen the eldest son of the Bai family in all these years, and no one has mentioned it."

The two of them returned to their small courtyard.

Pan Yushuang and Bai Zhi cooked by themselves, making some dinner that could be eaten by two people under limited conditions. As soon as it was put on the table, the mother-in-law reported outside the door: "You two young ladies, the eldest son of the Bai Mansion wants to see you."

The accent of Taixi people is very strange, and the tone of voice is very brisk. The two women are obviously specially arranged to entertain outsiders. Although the Mandarin they speak is not very standard, they can be understood.

Bai Zhi looked at Pan Yushuang.

Pan Yushuang raised his eyebrows: "We will treat guests when they come."

Bai Zhi went out to greet him, and Pan Yushuang sat in the main room with a golden sword, looking at Bai Henian who came in.

Bai Henian stood outside the open door, clasping his fists: "My Majesty Bai Henian, I would like to pay my respects to General Pan."

"Master Bai, please come in." Pan Yu returned the greeting with clasped fists.

Seeing two servants holding Bai Hesheng behind him, Pan Yushuang glanced at Bai Henian: "Master Bai, what do you mean?"

Bai Henian handed over again: "Stone City holds chambers of commerce twice a year in order to find a way out for the people of Taixi. Although pearls in Taixi are rare, they are not as precious as food in Taixi. The Bai family is not a hall that bullies others. Today,

The Bai family is at fault, and they specially escorted the criminals to listen to General Bai's words."

Pan Yushuang nodded slowly: "That's it."

"Yes." Bai Henian replied.

Pan Yushuang made a gesture of invitation and then said: "I am a military official and I don't care about local government affairs. There is no government office in Taixi. If you really want to punish someone, I'm afraid I will have to send him to Changchun Mansion."

Bai Henian:......!!!

This is really not polite at all. Are you going to send the Bai family to Changchun Mansion?

"Master Bai, if anyone in Taixi committed adultery before, they should have been sent to Changchun Mansion, right?" Pan Yushuang asked.

Bai Henian replied: "The people in Taixi are simple and honest, and there are no criminals. If there are conflicts between neighbors, most of them can be reconciled by respected people."

"Oh, so that's it." Pan Yushuang said in a long tone, and suddenly the topic changed: "Is it possible that there will be a private execution hall?"

Bai Henian smiled bitterly: "General Pan, don't get me wrong. The Bai family has left a family motto from its ancestors. Those who bully others will never be tolerated, and they will never be unreasonable. What happened in the market today is Bai Hesheng's fault. Family law is the law."

They won't tolerate him."

Pan Yushuang glanced at Bai Hesheng, who was drooping his head: "Changchun Mansion is too far away after all. It seems that the imperial court has to build an yamen here. That's all. I have written this down. Mr. Bai, don't forget it either."

, if the Taixi Yamen is established and the people redress their grievances, the Yamen will definitely punish them severely, and it will not be too late to say anything at that time."

Bai Henian knew that Pan Yushuang was not merciful at all. No wonder his grandfather said that he wanted to clean up the family. There were more than one or two prodigal sons like Bai Hesheng in the Bai family. Before the imperial court came over, they had not been well educated, so they could only be regarded as abandoned sons. The Bai family has been passed down for hundreds of years.

There is no way that a family will be destroyed as soon as it meets the imperial court.

"I just made a simple meal at home. Mr. Bai, would you like to try it?" Pan Yushuang wanted to shoo away the guests.

Bai Henian smiled and said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. The aroma of General Pan's food can be smelled from a long way away."

Oh, you're really welcome.

Bai Zhi added a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and stood aside to watch Pan Yushuang, who was not affected by the dogma about the differences between men and women at all. The two of them actually started chatting while eating.

Speaking of pearl divers, Bai Henian said: "Over the years, Henian has been traveling abroad. He wants to find craftsmen who are good at building ships. It would be great to have a big ship. It is not easy for ordinary people to go to sea once. Coming back alive depends on luck. In the long run, it will be inevitable."

There will be fewer and fewer pearl divers every year.”

Pan Yushuang raised her eyelids and glanced at Bai Henian, but said nothing.

Although she was born in a peasant family, she came to Beijing twice and went to battle several times. She was no longer the ignorant little peasant girl. Bai Henian's words happened to be what she wanted to do next. This person was a bit interesting.

That night, Bai Hesheng was taken back, and Pan Yushuang said directly that he was a newcomer to the Bai family.

Bai Henian can't even think about saving this face. After all, the errand of cleaning up the house is coming next, so he can take it back and clean it up.

Pan Yushuang thought about it for a long time and wrote a letter to Su Yunnuan and a memorial to the emperor.

The memorial talked about Taixi based on the facts, but the letter to Su Yunnuan was much more detailed. In order to be more comprehensive, Pan Yushuang wandered around Stone City for several days, trying to learn more, and the letter was revised again and again.

At this time, the annual state banquet was being held in the Daqian Palace, where the emperor, empress, and courtiers bid farewell to the old year and welcomed the new year together.

In the first month of the year, Su Yunnuan became more and more bulky. Qi Xuan took advantage of the sealing period to accompany Su Yunnuan around in various ways. The two of them did not forget to talk about state affairs while walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms.

In February, it was the due date, and Su Yunnuan finally took a real rest. After receiving the letter from Pan Yushuang, Su Yunnuan read it many times, and she only had one thought in her heart: a waste of natural resources!

Complaining that life at the beach is too difficult and the food is hard to swallow, Su Yunnuan wants to scratch the wall for no other reason than she likes seafood!

Because he could not leave for Taixi immediately, he sent for Pan Yubao.

When Pan Yubao heard that he was going to open a restaurant in Taixi, he rubbed his hands in excitement and said, "I thought sister had stopped caring about the restaurant a long time ago. Okay, I'll go back and get ready before we leave."

Su Yunnuan glanced at Pan Yuzhu next to her: "Has Yuzhu's marriage never been decided?"

Pan Yuzhu: Why did you suddenly ask this about yourself?
