Chapter 749: Women Only Slow Me Down When I Draw My Sword!

the two ounces of silver and, unconcernedly, sneered. 。"I also want to find a proper job, but this two taels of silver isn't even enough to pay off my debts." 。"Could you find me a few more ounces Oth..."Lao He Shu" Jia Yin was taken aback and quickly asked Shui Ling to invite the person to the front yard for tea.

Then, she tidied herself up and hurried over.

Lao Hei held the teacup with a bitter expression.

This January, he not only didn't gain weight but also lost some.

Because, being trapped in the village, it's truly suffocating.

Originally, they planned to leave at the end of the first lunar month. However, because of the incident with the Rose Cream, which involved a wide range of people, the Marquis was afraid that someone might come to Jin Tan to cause trouble. So he instructed them to stay for a while longer.

It was the middle of February before he finally left. If he hadn't gone out, half a year would have passed by then.

Almost as soon as the good news arrived, he got up, bowed, and then began to complain.

"Miss, have you forgotten about us"

Jia Yin is feeling overwhelmed, with many things going on at home, and she truly can't attend to everything.

She quickly said, "Of course not, Old Hei Uncle. I was just organizing the books a moment ago and almost finished."

"Pack your things, you can depart in three days."

"Really" Lao Hei was so excited that he immediately stood up, "Then I'll go back and tell the brothers, hurry up and pack your bags."

After he finished speaking, he hurried off.

Li Laotai returned from the warmth next door, seeing this she was very puzzled, and asked, "Old Hei what's wrong with you, why are you in such a hurry"

"Hurry out the door."

Jia Yin recounted the whole story. Lao Tai Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "These people, they just can't be kept in check at home."

"However, the village head has found a wife for Zhang from the second village. You should also ask Lao Hei and his friends if anyone has any thoughts about this matter, just to keep them around for a while longer."

"Got it, Grandma." Jiayin also remembered this, and asked Shuiling to chase after Lao Hei.

As a result, Shui Ling quickly brought back a word.

"Lao Heishu said, they don't want to marry wives for now. It would distract them from traveling the world. They'll talk about it again next winter."

Jia Yin is truly amused and perplexed.

This is a vivid interpretation of the phrase, "Do women hold me back from drawing my sword"

She didn't have time to joke around much either, finding an excuse to slip into her space and start writing in her notebook.

Chuanzhou Prefecture was in a location similar to ancient Shu (Sichuan) in the past, with a similar climate and culture.

This trip, finding medicinal herbs is still the main task, and I'll also bring back some local specialties if I happen to see them...

Three days later, Lao Hei and his men set off with enough silver taels, their travel permits and the Hou Mansion's token. They concealed their gleaming sabers and daggers, then hurried away.

As soon as they left, the village's "Matchmaker Squad" went to report their findings to the village head.

It can be said that there are many good girls in the surrounding villages, and it is also said that they are very happy to marry into Xin Cun and Er Cun.

But they're aiming for the young men in the new village, those who are well-off and have powerful connections, not the old soldiers and wounded veterans of Ercun!

Of course, this idea is understandable. It's a major life decision, and people want to find someone they truly connect with, which is perfectly normal.

But the Yue Lao Squad was in an awkward situation!

Have they actually completed the mission or not

The village head was also troubled and asked, "These girls are indeed not bad, right"

Of course, village head!" a woman shouted. "The two girls I visited were both beautiful and tall."

"He is filial to his parents even at home, and diligent and honest. The neighbors all speak highly of him."

And besides, our family is small and simple. There are no grandparents or a large number of uncles and cousins to hold us back. This kind of family would be perfect for making connections through marriage.

The other aunts also nodded and chimed in, praising how excellent the girl they had their eyes on was.

The village head was driven mad by the noise and sent them home to rest. Then he went to wander around under the archway.

It just so happened that the lord and Li Lao Si returned from the military camp.

Before the stars were born, they wanted to come back, but something held them back. Today they have time, so they hurry home to take a look.

Seeing the village head wandering on the road, the two dismounted and accompanied him, exchanging a few words.

This is a rare opportunity, the village head quickly told everyone about it.

As expected, nothing is a problem when it reaches the hands of the Marquis.

The Lord waved his hand and said, "Uncle, there's no need to worry about this. These girls are free to meet the young men from the village."

As for the people of Ercun, I had already instructed the Hou Mansion steward to buy some women. They just brought back over thirty yesterday.

"Now things are being tidied up simply at the Hou Mansion, learning etiquette. In a few days, they will be sent over."

They were all poor and struggling to survive, so they wouldn't be picky about how the veterans or wounded soldiers lived. Just having a place to stay and make a living was enough for them.

"When the time comes, the steward will send someone over. I'll have to trouble you."

The village head, old man was overjoyed. “No, no, Lord Guest is too kind! This is simply wonderful, it solves a huge problem!”

Two people invited the village head home for tea, but the village head waved his hand to refuse and ran to find the Moon Old Squad with the speed of the wind.

There are indeed several young men in the village who have reached marriageable age, and bachelors also need to establish a family.

Now that the wounded and old soldiers have hope, he also needs to hurry up and help the village settle those good girls!

In the backyard, Old Mrs. Li was talking to Zhao Yuru. Wenjuan had her hair wrapped up and was leaning against her plump son with a smile that wouldn't fade.

Jia Yin sat beside her sister-in-law, watching her young nephew sleep soundly. She couldn't help but reach out and gently tap his cheek, which was soft like tofu.

The chubby boy was disturbed by a bad dream, wrinkled his nose, and continued to sleep.

Jia Yin's fingers reached up, wanting to tease some more, but was caught by grandma.

"Oh, my, this little girl is such a meanie! The star is so small, and you're already bullying him!" Li Laotai pulled her granddaughter over and hugged her close to protect the little great-grandson.

Jia Yin was twisting her body, still wanting to act cute with her grandma when Shui Ling came in and said, "The Marquis and the Fourth Master are back!"

"Oh, my stepfather and father are back!" Jiayin immediately jumped down and ran to the front yard.

Li Laotai sighed helplessly and scolded with a smile, "This girl gets more and more unruly as she grows older, like a mischievous monkey."

Having said that, she also went down to put on her shoes and carefully picked up Xingxing's swaddling clothes. She said to Wenjuan, "The lord and your fourth uncle must have come back to see Xingxing. I'll hold him for a while, then bring him back."

wenjuan wasn't at all reassured, she replied, "I know, grandma. With xingxing by my side, I don't even dare to turn over while sleeping. If you take him away, I might be able to sleep peacefully for a while longer."

Zhao Yuru listened and felt heartache. She helped her daughter-in-law tidy up her hair and said, "I'll come over in the evening and sleep with you, so let Huan Ge er move out."

"Besides feeding and sleeping soundly, there's nothing else you can do. Huan-ge sleeps so deeply that even by your side, he's more of a comfort than any help."

Wenjuan nodded, her face full of gratitude. "Thank you, Mother,"

"Don't be like that, family. We all went through this time, and we know it's tough. Just hold on, things will get better after the confinement period."

Zhao Yuru tucked the quilt corner for her daughter-in-law and instructed He MaMa to help look after her for a while before going to the front courtyard. family business be prosperous Would he also continue to studyIt's a pity, everything is just if.He had waited year after year, thinking his older brother was dead outside. Unexpectedly, heaven showe...
