Chapter 153 Not Boring
Lin Anyuan didn't find it boring at all.
His silly nephew is a real talent, incredibly strong. He's only been with him for a little over a month and has already made a name for himself, now he's the vanguard.
Moreover, he always manages to say what he can't say out loud, practically acting as his mouthpiece.
It wasn't that Lin Anyuan was concerned about his image; it was mainly because his career was still uncertain, and he could be dismissed from his post as general at any time, so he had to keep a low profile.
For example, right now, Lin Anyuan is standing at the door watching the show.
Lingniang, carrying a basket, looked at the silly girl blocking her way with teary eyes.
Tears welling up in your eyes aren't from being moved, they're from being angry!
Silly girl, "What are you doing? You're about to cry? I told you you're shameless, and you really are. Crying won't help. You're not allowed in, and that's final. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Do you even deserve my uncle?"
Damn it, someone actually dares to covet Lady Ye's man.
Silly girl, you won't know until you come, and once you do, you'll be in for a surprise.
How shameless are these women to try and sneak into men's rooms?
Lingniang was so angry that her body was trembling. "I was just checking on Brother Lin and bringing him food. Why are you saying such nasty things? Logistics is our responsibility."
"It's your actions that are shameful. All I do is bring food. I don't need you at all. You're such a young lady, practically clinging to my uncle. Do you even know that my uncle is married? You're so eager to be his concubine. There are plenty of women who want to be my uncle's concubine. You wouldn't even get a chance!"
Lingniang shouted angrily, "You... don't think I don't know, Brother Lin is never married! That woman of his is..."
Lin Anyuan, no longer interested in watching the spectacle, interjected, "Who said I'm not married? What did my wife do to offend you?"
Lingniang didn't know when Lin Anyuan had arrived. She was stunned for a moment when she saw him, but immediately became delighted, "Brother Lin..."
Lin Anyuan raised his hand, "Don't try to get close to me. From now on, you'll call me Lord Lin just like everyone else."
"Answer my question, what did my wife do to offend you?"
Lingniang burst into tears, "Brother Lin, it's me, it's me..."
She liked Lin Anyuan, but how could a young woman openly express her feelings?
Silly Girl clicked her tongue. "Tsk, some people are just shameless and can't understand human language! I wonder if their ears are stuffed with donkey hair. They should go find a doctor to treat them!"
Unable to bear the humiliation, Lingniang ran away crying.
Qin the big guy hurriedly chased after him, "Miss Ling, Miss Ling, wait for me! The master is getting married but I'm not married yet. Look at me, although I can't compare to Brother Lin, I'll soon become a little general."
Hearing this, Lingniang cried even louder.
"Such a lovely girl, why bother?" Peony, holding a handful of melon seeds, watched the whole thing unfold.
They've already sent their nephews to Lin Anyuan to be his right-hand men, yet he's still stubbornly clinging to his delusions.
The silly girl's eyes lit up. "This lady speaks so nicely. Do you have any writing brushes and ink? Could I borrow them?"
She wanted to write a letter to the lady.
Peony chuckled, "Haha, Lord Lin's nephew has quite the sweet tongue. My husband is a scholar; we may not have much else, but we have plenty of writing brushes and ink. Come in and get them."
Silly Girl borrowed a pen and ink, lay on the table, and began scratching her head as she wrote a letter to Ye Wan.
When Lin Anyuan learned that Sha Niu was writing a letter, he also went to write one.
Ye Wan is also writing a letter.
This morning, before dawn, Huigu, covered in dew, woke Yewan.
Ye Wan was still half asleep and a little confused when she was woken up. "Where did these bandits come from?"
"They weren't bandits, they were refugees who formed a group and started robbing people and women."
"Hurry up and go to the village chief's house!"
Ye Wan got up and went to the village chief's house to tell him about it.
The village chief took it very seriously when he learned about it and immediately adopted Ye Wan's suggestion, ordering all the young men in the village to guard the village entrance and not to wander around unless necessary.
The neighboring villages also sent messages.
Ye Wan sent a letter to Liu Wenshu mainly to inquire about the situation in the capital.
"Auntie, thank you for your trouble."
"Don't be so polite with me, Madam." Huigu took the letter and left.
I brought back two pounds of beef.
"Where did it come from?" Ye Wan's eyes lit up.
The slaughter of cattle is not allowed in this area. She has no shortage of other meats, but she lacks beef.
"When we arrived, we happened to see someone selling them illegally. I remember that Madam liked them, so I bought them. It's a pity that we arrived too late; there were only a few left."
"That's enough, that's enough. We'll have beef rice noodles tonight."
Ye Wan wanted to eat this today; she had just made rice noodles a while ago.
Once it was ready, he eagerly sent it to Suyi first, saying, "Sister Suyi, try this. Do you like it?"
"It's delicious."
She was dressed in plain clothes, her hair styled into a Taoist nun's bun with a wooden hairpin, and a Manjusaka flower between her eyebrows, making her look both demonic and ethereal.
"I'm glad you like it. I'll make lots and lots of delicious food." Ye Wan felt that looking at a beautiful woman was a pleasure.
Su Yi has recently been learning simple assassination techniques from Hui Gu with her, and doesn't go out much otherwise. Ye Wan is worried that she'll get bored, so she often comes to keep her company and talk to her.
After we finished eating the rice noodles, it was almost dark.
Ye Wan thought that if she lived in the village, there shouldn't be any refugees.
That very evening, their plans backfired. A dozen people rushed to the village entrance, only to run into the village chief's patrol team.
When Ye Wan heard the news, both sides were locked in a stalemate.
The people on the other side were holding knives, while the villagers were holding sickles and hoes.
The village chief stood at the back and raised his voice to plead, "Good men, we are just farmers who toil in the fields. We are so poor that we can't even afford to eat. So please don't bother with us. Let's find another place."
Some of the men with knives shouted, "The news has spread that you're the richest place! Hand over all your grain and we won't kill you!"
They originally planned to rush into the village under cover of darkness and rob it directly, but they never expected that these people were prepared.
With so many people blocking their way, they were afraid, but they were also unwilling to make a wasted trip, as their wives and children at home were still hungry.
The village chief stomped his feet in anger, "Which bastard spread this news? We all toil in the fields for a living, how good can our lives be?"
Huigu took the lead and stood at the front. "Life is not easy for anyone. Everyone is forced to rob us because they have no other choice. You all have parents, wives and children at home, right? If you die outside, what will happen to your families? Why don't you put down your knives and stay in the village as guards? I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I can guarantee that you will have enough to eat!"
One of the hungry refugees was tempted by this, asking, "You, a woman, can you keep your word?"
The village chief was also afraid of people dying. Among the people holding sickles and blocking the refugees was his son. He hurriedly replied, "It's true. I am the village chief of Shenggou Village. What I just said is true. At least we can have enough to eat and get through the winter."
Anyway, since it was promised by Lady Ye's people, Lady Ye will definitely have a way to deal with it.
“Boss.” The person who was interested looked at Yu Laoshi.
Yu Laoshi gripped the knife tightly in his hand. "No, what if it's a trap?"
