The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 399 Extra - Volume

My nickname is Juan Juan and my elder name is Yuan Zening.

He is the eldest son of Yuan Liuye of the Zhongqin Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty and Princess Anna of the Roman Empire.

Since childhood, among the many grandchildren in the Zhongqin Hou Mansion, my grandmother’s favorite is this little cutie.

In the words of my grandmother, her heart melted when she saw me, and I was her darling.

Even when I was three and six years old, my mother gave me a younger brother and a younger sister.

My status in the Hou Mansion has not wavered even a bit.

My cuteness and handsomeness captivated not only the people in the Hou family.

Whenever I go out, the people in the capital will stare blankly when they see me, and they will point at me and start talking quietly.

Don’t think that I didn’t understand it when I was young. When I was three years old, I knew that many of them said that I was so cute that they wanted to steal me home.

Hey, it doesn't work if the person is too cute. It scared me so much that I didn't dare to go shopping easily until I was eight years old.

My grandmother was afraid that I would get bored at home, so she often took me to play in the village in Dali Village.

The fat fish raised by my great-grandfather and the large taro grown by my great-grandfather are so delicious when grilled!
Although my father and mother, for the sake of international trade between the two countries, left me to the upbringing of my grandparents all year round, I was not angry at all.

My grandmother’s food is the most delicious food in the world!
My grandfather made some of the funniest toys in the world.

As long as I smile at my cousins, they will give me anything delicious and fun!
Except for studying and practicing martial arts, which were a bit laborious, I lived a very happy life in the Hou Mansion.

After enlightenment, the gentlemen in the mansion had many ideas about my homework!
They all said that a mixed-race child like me should learn the languages ​​of ten and eight countries like my father and mother, so as not to waste my talent.

In the words of my great-grandmother, my mother-in-law, why is it so difficult to learn a foreign language?

It’s crooked, it knows me, I don’t know it!

I have a hard time learning the dialect of my hometown in Shu, and it is too difficult for my wife to learn foreign languages.

Even worse than me is my little cousin. When my cousin just turned ten, before our grandfather died, he actually asked my aunt to return to the Roman Empire to inherit the throne.

My little cousin, from a county prince in the Great Xia Dynasty, became a prince of the Roman Empire, and the next in line of succession to the throne of the Roman Empire.

Tsk tsk tsk, if you want to wear a crown, you can't just do what I do. You just need to read the Four Books and Five Classics and martial arts.

My little cousin writes to me every year, complaining about his heavy schoolwork every day.

Ouch, it’s different when there is a person in the family who wants to inherit the throne!
There are strict requirements for words and deeds, there are hundreds of attendants for coming and going, and you have to choose a princess at the age of thirteen.

Just listening to it makes me feel uncomfortable.

In the words of grandma, can’t children have a fulfilling but comfortable teenage years?
My mother once complained to me: In the early years of the Roman Empire, few princes and princesses were good, and they were just puppets without emotions.

When I was young, I went to great lengths to learn various languages, arts, etc., and when I grew up, I had no autonomy in my marriage.

She and her aunt were able to marry until the Great Xia Dynasty, and they were already living the best lives among the sisters.

Therefore, I don’t envy the little cousin who became the prince. We are living a prosperous life in the Great Xia Dynasty. We are native subjects of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Moreover, one of the biggest advantages of being a descendant of a marquis is the freedom of marriage.

Before I was twenty, I had a lot of time to study and plan my life.

Besides my grandmother and mother, my favorite person in the family is my little aunt.

Although when I was naughty, she beat me and it hurt.

But any fruit my aunt gives me is delicious!
My little aunt is not only good at martial arts, she has also learned the art of dissecting corpses.

In this court where women were not allowed to take the imperial examination or serve as officials, every time there was a major murder case, there would always be officials licking their faces and asking my aunt to help examine the body.

The thing my little aunt said most often was: Only dead people can’t lie!
