Qu Shuangyue thought Lin Yunzhi's words made a lot of sense. Given Lin Xiuyan's restless nature, she needed to find something for her to do.
She nodded: "You're right, but I don't think training just the servants is enough. There are also a few young masters in the manor, so let them train together."
Lin Yunzhi gave her a thumbs up: "You've thought this through. Yan'er spends every day with those young masters, maybe she can even find a son-in-law."
The couple exchanged a glance and both thought this was a good idea.
So in the morning, when Lin An gathered all the servants in the Lin family garden to receive training from Lin Xiuyan, Ye Junfei and Fan Xilou also arrived.
When they arrived, Wu Dao dared not stay in his room to catch up on sleep any longer and came with dark circles under his eyes.
Wu Ge was particularly fortunate that his identity had not yet been revealed, otherwise he would never have been able to sleep during the day.
Xu Qianting was discouraged by Ye Junfei yesterday. He felt that if he didn't work harder, Ye Junfei would steal Lin Xiuyan away.
He arrived at the Lin residence early in the morning and actively joined the training.
Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue both cursed Wu Dao in their hearts for being shameless when they saw him moving closer!
However, since Wu Dao was the heir of the Prince of Pingnan, they didn't dare to openly attack him and could only let him blend into the group.
Lin Xiuyan felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the group's composition.
They keep setting up chaotic situations for her, which is really giving her a headache.
There are so many big shots here, especially Ye Junfei, a master of leading troops into battle. What can she possibly train them for?
But she had to do it anyway, so she just gritted her teeth and went ahead, pretending they didn't exist!
Lin Xiuyan said to them, "I saw your loyalty to the Lin family on the day Jiang Xinrou got married."
"The Lin family has now offended Zhou Chenyang. You are probably aware that Zhou Chenyang has made things difficult for the Lin family on several occasions."
"I'm telling you this openly: Zhou Chenyang has his eye on the Lin family; he wants to take everything from them." (cascoo.net)
"I have no other requirements for this training, I only ask one thing of you, and that is to protect our home!"
"The Lin family will face a lot of trouble in the future, and your lives may be in danger."
“If you are afraid, you can tell me now, and I will give you your indentures and let you leave, thus fulfilling their master-servant relationship.”
The servants and guards of the Lin family were basically all bought by the Lin family.
If something happens to the Lin family, they will also lose the Lin family's protection.
Most of them had tragic pasts before coming to the Lin family mansion. The Lin family mansion was very lenient with its servants and had few rules.
If something happens to the Lin family, they will likely go back to their old ways.
As for obtaining the indenture to leave the Lin family, given the current chaotic world, they have no land and will soon be left with nothing.
In this situation, it would be better to stay at the Lin residence.
So they shouted, "Protect the Lin family mansion! Protect our home!"
Lin Xiuyan was satisfied with their attitude: "If you choose to stay, then you will need to stand with the Lin family from now on."
"Those who back down will be dealt with according to the severity of the circumstances, either through family discipline or by being sold off directly."
"If anyone performs meritorious service, he or she shall be rewarded according to his or her merits, either with silver or land."
"Now, I'm giving you one last chance to choose."
Lin An stepped forward and said, "My life was saved by the master. I have been in the Lin family for many years, and the master and madam have always treated me very well."
"To me, the Lin family mansion is my home. If anyone dares to destroy my home, I will fight them to the death!"
Upon hearing his declaration, the other servants also shouted, "Protect our home! Fight the thieves to the death!"
Of all the servants, not one chose to leave.
Lin Xiuyan knew they would make this choice because, in essence, the previous incident with Jiang Xinrou had already served as a screening process.
Furthermore, Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue have treated them well over the years, and they genuinely want to stand with the Lin family through thick and thin.
She said loudly, "Very good, from now on you will all change your surname to Lin and become members of the Lin family."
In this era, only good servants are given a surname by their master and become true family members.
The bestowal of a surname upon them was the greatest recognition they could receive.
Everyone smiled; they hadn't expected such treatment.
Ye Junfei's gaze deepened as he looked at Lin Xiuyan; her combination of tactics to win people over was quite effective.
As long as she is fair in rewarding and punishing people and doesn't mistreat them, the servants of the Lin family will probably protect the Lin family fiercely in the future.
After Lin Xiuyan finished her mobilization work, she gave each of them a crossbow and taught them how to use it.
After teaching them, he took them to practice shooting in the garden of the Lin residence.
Once they stopped missing the target, we started taking them to run with weights and practice sparring at the Lin residence to improve their physical fitness.
In order to achieve better training results, Lin Xiuyan also brought Qu Shuangyue over to teach the servants martial arts.
However, the sparring session encountered a slight problem: Lin Xiuyan knew that Ye Junfei's martial arts were too high, so she wouldn't let him participate, fearing that he would cripple all the servants.
In Xu Qianting's eyes, her action was a way of protecting Ye Junfei.
He was very uncomfortable and wanted to cause trouble for Ye Junfei, but he had only gone halfway when Wu Dao came over and put his arm around his shoulder, saying, "Shall we spar?"
Without waiting for Xu Qianting's reply, Wu Dao immediately made his move.
Enraged, Xu Qianting immediately retaliated.
Although Xu Qianting was born into a family of military generals, he was the youngest son in the family and was pampered by his elders, so he never suffered any hardship.
Although he had been going out to fight with Lin Xiuyan every day for the past few years, he had accumulated some fighting experience.
However, his fighting experience was simply insufficient compared to Wu Dao, who had killed countless people and experienced countless brutal battles.
The result was as expected; he was knocked to the ground by Wu Dao and said smugly, "With skills like yours, tsk tsk..."
A sense of contempt permeated Wu Dao's entire body.
He was furious and got up to fight Wu Dao.
After being knocked down by Wu Dao ten times, Wu Dao got a little annoyed.
He stomped on his head and said, "Young man, if you want to beat me, you'll have to go back to your mother's womb and be reborn!"
These words are extremely hurtful and highly insulting.
Xu Qianting was so angry that his face turned blue!
But he didn't even have the ability to free his head from under Wu Dao's feet.
He roared, "Even if you are the heir of the Prince of Pingnan, I will still defeat you!"
Wu Dao released him: "Come on, keep trying to defeat me!"
Even if Xu Qianting was simple-minded, he knew at this moment that he couldn't possibly beat Wu Dao.
He turned to look at Ye Junfei and said, "I will become your disciple, and you will teach me to defeat the Prince of Pingnan!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
No Knife: "..."
Xu Qianting sought out the Prince of Pingnan's heir to teach him martial arts, and then defeated the Prince of Pingnan's heir—he really dared to dream of that!
