Chapter 219 A New Look
"Is that all the strength Young Master Pei has?"
"Did you not eat enough at dinner?"
In Jizhou, the weather suddenly became unbearably hot. The shadow of the last snow disaster had not yet faded, and if this continued, another drought was imminent.
At this moment, Pei San's outer robe was soaked through, and he looked utterly disheveled.
But Lin Anyuan, who was standing next to him, would occasionally make a sarcastic remark.
“My young master has never suffered any hardship. Aren’t you deliberately making things difficult for him?” Afu glared angrily at Lin Anyuan.
It's one thing to make him and the guards do the work, but to make the young master do the work too.
Lin Anyuan, dressed in shoes and shorts with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his muscular arms, spoke slowly and deliberately as he worked, “Since you’ve never suffered any hardship, why didn’t you stay in the capital? What are you doing here? Paying money to suffer?”
“You…” Afu was about to speak when Pei Zhichuan stopped him.
Pei Zhichuan looked at Lin Anyuan and said, "I really don't know how, and if this continues, it will easily affect others. Please assign me another task."
He didn't know when he had offended this person, but he always felt that this person was inexplicably hostile towards him, and he didn't know if it was just his imagination.
It's possible that this person is just like that.
But he felt a faint sense of admiration for this person.
Despite the sweltering heat and an enviable face, she works harder than those who toil year-round.
Unlike him, whose legs are shaking now.
"That's quite frank. Go over there and compile a list of people in really difficult circumstances. Make sure the information is accurate. There's not much grain, so it needs to be distributed to those who truly need it."
Pei Zhichuan is really not suited for manual labor.
Lin Anyuan thought to himself, "Wanwan definitely wouldn't be interested in such a pretty boy who can't lift a finger."
"Thank you." Pei Zhichuan bowed.
Even in his disheveled state, he still retained a touch of gentlemanly demeanor.
"No need to thank me. If your family had sent the ransom sooner, you could have returned to the capital sooner."
Lin Anyuan told the people to leave quickly.
Upon hearing the mention of ransom, Pei Zhichuan immediately lost the will to speak and turned to leave.
A day passed, and on the second day, Lin Anyuan went to the refugee aid station for inspection.
Upon seeing a few people mixed in with the crowd and receiving food, they immediately had it taken away.
"What are you doing? This is the grain that was given to me by the higher-ups! The officials are robbing me! Help!"
"Take all these people away; they're all just laborers," Lin Anyuan said expressionlessly.
"Lord Lin, what do you mean by this?" Pei Zhichuan frowned and stood up.
He was distributing the grain properly, so what's gotten into Lin Anyuan now?
As for the fact that he is an adult, that's just a polite way of putting it.
A rebel can hardly be considered an adult.
"Are you out of your mind? Those guys were just idle thugs, they're not starving yet. This food is life-saving. You're just giving it to them like this, what about those who really need food?"
Lin Anyuan looked at Pei Zhichuan and thought, "He really is an aloof young nobleman who can't see through such a simple scam."
“This… he clearly said it was a terrible situation,” Pei Zhichuan was stunned.
In the end, he was so angry that his face turned red.
"These people are truly despicable!"
...
...
"Sanya, you're so mean! You stepped on my skirt and got it dirty!"
"Second sister, I didn't mean it, please forgive me!"
Sanya, chased by Erya, dashed out the door in a flash.
Unexpectedly, there was someone standing at the door, and I almost bumped into them.
He Rui's eyes lit up when he saw Sanya.
"This is the first time I've seen you dressed as a woman. You were quite cute when you were a girl, so why do you dress like a man every day?"
When dressed as a woman, Sanya looks like a delicate and soft little girl, completely ignoring her brisk and powerful movements.
Sanya found this person rather strange. "It's my freedom to choose what I wear. Why are you criticizing other people's clothes? I haven't criticized you at all!"
He Rui was speechless.
"The little girl is right, you've been to school!"
Old He, who came over from behind, watched with a smile as He Rui was embarrassed.
Old He really likes this little girl; some of the things she says at such a young age make a lot of sense.
Most importantly, this is Lin Anyuan's daughter. He wants to get close to Lin Anyuan through this little girl, and then use Lin Anyuan to get close to Prince Jing.
He had only met Prince Jing a few times before and didn't know much about him.
However, since he has already become a rebel, he certainly cannot be persuaded to surrender with just a few words.
If you rush to send it up, you might end up like that eunuch.
“Yes, everyone in my family is educated. My maternal grandfather is very knowledgeable and works as a teacher.” Sanya said with a little pride.
"Oh right, I have something to do, so I'll talk to you guys later."
Sanya ran away after she finished speaking.
"Let's go, let's follow them and see." Old He lifted his leg.
“Master, aren’t we here to persuade them to surrender? Why waste so much time on unimportant people?”
He Rui really didn't understand. He had initially said he wanted to come to the Lin family, but now he had suddenly changed his mind and wanted to go with that wild girl.
That little girl is really wild; the place he bumped into still hurts.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. You still have the wrong mentality. Your father was really farsighted to entrust you to me."
Old He said this and followed.
He Rui was speechless for a moment, "I've never seen anyone praise themselves like that."
...
"Auntie, Auntie, I'm here for class too."
Sanya came to find Yehua.
Ye Hua has been idle at home for far too long. Apart from necessary conversations, she hardly speaks at all, which worries Ye Wan.
So they found a place to set up this small private school, which didn't charge tuition fees. Families who wanted to send their daughters to study there could send them back home.
He actually took in more than a dozen female students, most of whom were daughters of working families in the village.
Today is Ye Hua's first day of teaching, so San Ya wanted to come and support her aunt.
Ye Hua noticed that San Ya blushed slightly. "You've learned all of these things,"
Her knowledge was not even comparable to that of Daya and Erya, so naturally she couldn't teach Sanya either; she only knew a few characters.
"It's okay, I'll learn it again with my aunt. Aunt won't kick me out, will she?" Sanya looked at Ye Hua expectantly.
How could Ye Hua refuse?
So Sanya sat down.
The first word Ye Hua taught these little girls was "life," telling them that no matter what, their own lives are the most precious thing.
Only when a person is alive can they have infinite possibilities.
Old He, listening from outside the window, felt a pang of emotion, never expecting a woman to be so insightful.
