A group of people pressed forward, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard from a distance. Guijianchou's voice was urgent: "Don't be rude to the master!"
He roared, and everyone except Lin Su looked at him in surprise. When he got close, tightened the reins, dismounted, and knelt in front of Lin Su with his fists clasped and said, "Young Master, please accept me," some people even dropped their knives.
A thought flashed through the bandits' minds: Did this guy put a curse on our boss?
A thought also flashed through the minds of the guards following Lin Su: Did the young master put a curse on this person?
Lu Ning felt like his jaw was about to drop to the ground. How could he have successfully recruited him?
"I only accept people who know when to advance and when to retreat." Lin Su looked at him and said, "Can you avoid acting on impulse?"
"I am a rough man and don't know anything about courtesy and humility, but please give me some advice, young master." Guijianchou said.
Lin Su looked down at him, and after a while, he helped him up from the ground and said, "Since you have surrendered, I will help you settle your family and relatives and prevent them from suffering from hunger."
Merchants in this era were not necessarily wealthy. Even if they robbed the rich to help the poor, one could tell from their clothes that they were not living a happy life. And if they dared to rob the nobles, I am afraid that any country would directly send troops to encircle and suppress them.
Now that Lin Su agreed to this, Gui Jianchou was even more convinced of his sincerity: "Thank you, young master."
Lin Su smiled and said, "It's my duty."
"I have hundreds of brothers. I wonder if the young master can take them all in?" asked Guijianchou.
"Are they willing to go with you?" Lin Su asked.
Gui Jianchou nodded and said, "Of course I am willing. We will live and die together."
"I only accept those who are physically fit. All the disabled..." Lin Su glanced at the bandits and said, seeing their wary eyes, "The disabled can stay at home and be treated with the same care as their relatives. They can also take care of the women and children at home."
"Thank you, young master!" Guijianchou was originally worried, but now he felt a little grateful.
Lin Su and others were welcomed into the mountain stronghold. Looking at the low houses and barren fields, they realized that because the bandits here were fierce, few people passed by here. If Lin Su had not come, they would have really run out of food.
The food on the table was not oily and consisted entirely of vegetarian green vegetables, but Lin Su believed that this was the best they could offer.
"Go get the rice and flour from the car and distribute them to everyone." Lin Su ordered.
When the people in the village heard this, their previous uneasiness turned into joy. They thanked him and lined up to get the rice and flour. Lu Ning also brought a bag of fruit. Lin Su took out an apple and handed it to a little girl who was looking at him while biting her finger.
The girl looked at him, then looked up at her mother. After getting her approval, she took it and looked at Lin Su and said, "Thank you, big brother."
"You're welcome." Lin Su said with a smile.
The girl took two bites of the apple and suddenly said, "Big brother, you're so handsome. Can Man'er marry you when she grows up?"
Everyone in the village was stunned, but suddenly laughed: "Young Master is indeed better looking than us rough guys. No wonder Man'er likes him!"
"Don't be offended, young master. It's just childish talk." Gui Jianchou wanted to tease him, but when he remembered that this was his master, he suppressed his emotion.
"It's okay," Lin Su said, stroking the child's pigtails. "You're still young now. It won't be too late to find a husband when you grow up."
"But of all the people I've ever met, you're the most beautiful," the little girl said. "You don't speak in a rude voice. If you despise my background, I'd be happy to be your concubine."
[Host, this child is just like you, judging by appearance.] 06 This is strange.
The first sentence she said was fine, but the last sentence made the mother's face change. No matter what the background of her children was, anyone who truly loved them would not want them to be concubines and be inferior to others.
Lin Su smiled and said, "It's not that I dislike you. It's just that if I have someone in my heart, I will definitely be with them for the rest of my life. I would rather be the wife of a poor man than the concubine of a rich man. Even if you like my good looks, or if you like someone else in the future, you don't have to belittle yourself. Only then can you find someone who will treat you well for the rest of your life."
He treated the child differently from the Ghost Seer. His gentle persuasion not only stunned the child, but also made the mother look moved: "Thank you for your advice."
[A lifetime together?] 06 I'm a little confused.
Lin Su smiled and said, "It's true that we are a couple for life, what's wrong with that?"
06Found that there seemed to be nothing wrong.
This was just a small episode, but it made the children and women here have a very good impression of Lin Su.
Lin Su was dressed in expensive clothes, and his appearance and temperament were out of place here. The people in the mountain stronghold were obviously used to the domineering attitude of the children of high-ranking officials, and they were a little uncomfortable with Lin Su's approachable attitude. But after only three days of arrangement, the people here were already extremely convinced of Lin Su, because he not only brought food, but also brought new farming techniques. He never acted arrogantly, and people were convinced by his ability and demeanor alone.
Lu Ning was really convinced this time. He felt that if his father were here, he would probably praise their young master a lot and scold him at the same time.
Damn it, we used to share the same hardships and get scolded together, but now he is the only one left to be criticized. Even the little girls in the village don’t like him, they all hang around the young master. Just thinking about it makes me feel that his life is so miserable.
As they were about to depart, Lin Su opened the car window, looked at his frustrated face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ning immediately regained his composure and said, "It's okay, don't worry, Young Master!"
"Well, if I succeed in the future, I will arrange a virtuous wife for you, don't worry." Lin Su smiled and closed the car window.
Lu Ning suddenly felt that his mouth was about to grin from ear to ear: "Hey, you said, I followed you not for some good wife."
He felt that their young master was too good at bewitching people, and he... was willing to be bewitched!
The capital of the Southern Kingdom is called Shengjing. It is much more prosperous than other places. The streets are crowded with people, and there is no sign of famine as in some places.
The customs of each country are different. The country of Li respects white, and the clothes are mostly complicated and heavy. The country of the South, on the other hand, focuses on simplicity, prefers blue and green colors, and the clothes are light and flowing.
Lin Su naturally adapted to the local customs. He was humble and polite. Although he was called a businessman, he was actually more like a scholar. He made great efforts in Shengjing and opened more than a dozen shops in just three or five days.
If it were any other merchant, it would be fine, as they would just sell some things that were far inferior to the supplies in the palace. However, Lin Su's things were different from those of other merchants.
When the previous emperor passed away, there were still concubines left. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he had his own harem of concubines. Where there are women, the competition is all about dressing up, who has the most beautiful makeup, who wears the most beautiful things. Lin Su has the best goods, and each type of hairpin accessory is only one, and it will be sold out once it is sold, and there will be no duplicates, so it is very popular.
