The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 909 First, accompany your elder brother as he gets lost and into trouble.

Pan Zheng wasn't the type to obediently listen to advice. His outward appearance suggested he was very easy to understand, practically screaming "in one ear and out the other," ignoring his brother's sermons...

Yan Yu kept his head down. As an outstanding underling, being a coward at this time was the best choice.

Pan Dai's eyes showed a look of helplessness.

As the youngest brother, his mother had a difficult time giving birth to him. As an infant, he was pampered like a kitten and developed a spoiled personality. He would throw a tantrum if things didn't go his way, and he was domineering and unyielding.

The Duke's family was very strict, but they made an exception for him. Fortunately, his younger brother was not good at other things, but he had a complete understanding of the family lineage and often mingled in the capital. He knew what was important and could distinguish which family he could mess with and which family he should not provoke.

Well, that's a bit too blunt. Anyone who can't mess with him should avoid him. As for those who do run into him, he's dealt with quite harshly, earning him a reputation for arrogance and making him a notorious scoundrel in the capital.

This reputation gradually reached the father's ears, which led to this westward expedition to quell the rebellion, with the young son on the expedition.

Despite repeated attempts by his grandmother and mother to dissuade him, his father could not stop his younger brother from being toughened up.

After leaving Beijing, he was beaten countless times.

When the news reached the capital, the grandmother was worried and couldn't sleep at night, while the mother was anxious and often had tears in her eyes.

Who would have thought that things would take such a dramatic turn?

Ever since my younger brother became acquainted with General Yan, who served under the Prince of Guanzhou, he established himself in the army, accumulated merits, and was repeatedly spared punishment. In fact, he even received rare praise from his father, who said that he had the ability to recognize talent.

His grandmother and mother repeatedly went to Huguo Temple to offer incense oil, saying that it was the Buddha's blessing that Zheng'er was blessed, turned bad luck into good, and received auspicious help in everything he did.

It was widely rumored in the capital that General Yan was a star sent from heaven, possessing strength beyond that of ordinary people.

Among the prominent families, there were close relatives who frequently held banquets together.

This is also why Pan Zheng always makes sure to show off his newly adopted younger brother whenever he receives a letter home.

He had saved the King of England's life, countless barbarian bandits had died by his blade, he could stop the cries of barbarian children, he killed the rebel king with three arrows, and he single-handedly charged through the midst of a vast army to save the King of England's crown prince from dire straits...

General Yan probably doesn't know that before she even arrived in the capital, her name had already spread throughout the city.

……

At the city gate, the eunuch delivering the imperial decree was already waiting.

Upon seeing the arrival of the men, the emperor announced the decree, ordering Pan Zheng to lead his troops back to the Xishan camp for rest and reorganization.

The troops at Xiao'an Camp, plus the men Pan Zheng brought with him, numbering in the thousands, definitely wouldn't be able to enter the city.

Pan Zheng is making his final handover to his brother.

Yan Yu saw her godfather.

He stood with the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree.

"Grandpa! You're here!" The chubby girl ran over excitedly. Her plump little body was covered in brand-new, bright silver armor, making her look sturdy and robust.

With a round little face, fair skin with a healthy pink tinge, and a smile in her eyes and brows, she has a sweet and charming voice with a hint of coquetry. With her red lips and white teeth, she has the good looks of a lucky baby.

The eunuch delivering the imperial decree exclaimed "Oh my!" and said in a soft, gentle voice, "This is your grandson, Grandpa Wang! He's so handsome; just looking at him brings joy to my heart."

Eunuch Wang tried to remain reserved but couldn't, and his eyes narrowed as he laughed.

“Just call her Xiao Er. This child is self-made, she became a young general in command of troops. We didn’t take care of her, but instead we received her filial piety. In the future, you little rascals will have to help us look after her more.”

"Grandpa Wang, look at what you're saying. Since he's your grandson, he's one of us. Besides, you took good care of us younger ones back in the palace." The eunuch delivering the decree spoke with a hint of intimacy.

“We’re all from the same hometown, so it’s only natural to lend a hand and say a few words when we meet,” Grandpa Wang said with a smile.

Yan Yu looked over with sparkling eyes, her little mouth sweet: "Father-in-law, are you also from Qishan Prefecture?"

"Yes, he is from the same hometown as General Yan." The eunuch delivering the decree whispered a place name.

Yan Yu opened her eyes wide. And sure enough, he really was a fellow townsman.

Qishan Prefecture is a vast area. She and her godfather became related through being from the same hometown, but in reality, her godfather's hometown was not close to Xiao'an Village. On the contrary, the hometown of this imperial eunuch was under the jurisdiction of the same county as Xiao'an Village.

"Little Er has just transferred from the border army to the Duke of Dingguo's command, and things are in a lot of turmoil. In a couple of days, we'll prepare a few tables and invite your Grandpa Li and a few others to gather outside the palace. Little Copper Coin, tell your brothers that if they're free, they should all come and join the fun," Eunuch Wang said gently, his face kind. The eunuch delivering the decree immediately understood and gave the chubby boy beside him a deep look.

Wang Dajian was entrusting all the connections he had built up over a lifetime to this adopted grandson.

"Alright, Little Copper Coin will make sure to inform everyone. Grandpa Wang has been hiding in Guanzhou for so many years and it's been peaceful. We kids miss you terribly. When we get the chance, we'll definitely give you a good thrashing. When there are a lot of people coming, there will be a lot of food and drink expenses, so don't worry about the money in your pocket, Grandpa."

"My family has plenty of money for retirement, so I'm not worried about you kids eating and drinking. Come on, bring it on." Eunuch Wang patted the purse at his waist, which was bulging, giving him a very wealthy and generous appearance.

After the handover with the people from the Five Cities Garrison was completed, Pan Zheng rushed over impatiently.

"Waiter, come on, let's go home..." He suddenly saw Steward Wang from the Prince of England's mansion, and on a sudden inspiration, he replied, "Let's get acquainted with the place."

The eunuch delivering the imperial decree was even more amiable than when they first met. "Young Master Pan, now that you've finished your errand, I won't keep you any longer."

Pan Zheng quickly replied, "Please do as you please, Father-in-law."

He then winked at his younger brother.

Yan Yu was very clever; she had already hidden some silver in her sleeve.

She said with a smile, "Take care, Father-in-law."

The eunuch delivering the decree paused for a moment, looked at her, then at Pan Zheng, quickly took the silver with one hand, and with the other hand, he swiped a smooth jade pendant at his waist and stuffed it into Yan Yu's hand.

"Waiter, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything beforehand. This is one of my favorite things. I'm giving it to you to play with."

This is a gift given upon meeting.

Yan Yu looked at his godfather.

Eunuch Wang nodded with a smile.

She naturally accepted it without hesitation.

"Thank you, Brother Copper Coin. When we have drinks later, I'll have to drink a couple more cups with you."

The eunuch delivering the decree's eyes lit up, and he chuckled softly, "Good, good, from now on we should be very close!"

……

The old eunuch, Wang, was shrewd and experienced. He quickly found an excuse and left.

Yan Yu then followed Pan Zheng to the Duke's Mansion.

Pan Zheng thought his younger brother was a country bumpkin coming to the city for the first time, so he walked very slowly and took a detour, while talking non-stop.

The storyteller at this teahouse is eloquent, and the tea is fragrant; the chef at that restaurant has excellent knife skills, slicing ducks so thin they're translucent, and they occasionally manage to get their hands on some tribute wine; the singing girls at that place are captivating, and that place is a gambling den accessible only through connections, with huge stakes and incredibly exciting stakes…

Pan Zheng knew them all like the back of his hand.

Yan Yu thought to himself, "Goodness, you're familiar with three out of the four things: eating, drinking, gambling, etc. I guess the one you're not familiar with is because you're too young."

I suddenly felt a great responsibility on my shoulders.

How could Yan Xiaoer's older brother enjoy himself like this, no, waste his life!
We must correct this and get back on the right track.

The process of correction is bound to be arduous, arduous, and requires a great deal of effort.

No worries, Yan Xiaoer will definitely stay with her brother through this difficult and painful time.

Yan Yu clenched her small fist and made a silent decision in front of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

First, I accompanied my elder brother as he went astray and fell into deep depravity, and then I helped him turn back from his prodigal ways.

That's it.

perfect!
