Chapter 278 Ancient "Retired Soldiers"



After a night of yin and yang harmony, Jiang Shuyun felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

I don't know if it's really as Yi'an said, that he has a hormonal imbalance, or if I was just persuaded by what Yi'an said.

Whatever the reason, he stopped overthinking.

Just like Yi'an said, even if it really is just a dream, we should still enjoy this wonderful dream.

Because Yi'an agreed to use the retired soldiers recommended by the headmaster, Jiang Shuyun reappeared in the headmaster's study.

"Has your husband said anything?"

"Headmaster, you are a brilliant strategist!"

My wife said that the soldiers shed blood and sacrificed their lives to defend the country at the border.

As the people who are being protected, we should do our best to help them.

However, knowing that every soldier was a true man and would not accept pity or sympathy, our family formally hired them to teach our children some wilderness survival skills.

Jiang Shuyun spoke passionately, and the headmaster felt that these words did not sound like they came from Jiang Zhonglin, but rather from his wife.

“Zhonglin, your wife is very righteous. Those words just now must have been spoken by her.”

It seems you're quite lucky to have married such a capable and supportive wife.

Jiang Shuyun couldn't say that in their previous life, almost everyone had this awareness, and they genuinely respected and loved soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

"That's true. It's my greatest fortune to be able to marry my wife."

Perhaps because she had visited the academy so many times, Jiang Shuyun's filter of the academy master as a great Confucian scholar had become less thick, and she could treat him with a more ordinary attitude.

"Since you've agreed to invite them, I'll let you meet them."

They are all injured, don't be frightened.

"Shanzhang, they are just retired soldiers, they don't have any other hidden identities or missions, right?"

We are just ordinary people, we just want to live a peaceful and stable life.

Jiang Shuyun confirmed one last time that he didn't want to cause trouble, nor did he have the ability to do so.

"I swear on my honor that they are just ordinary retired soldiers."

"I believe in the mountain chief."

Jiang Shuyun was relieved; as long as there were no hidden dangers, everything was fine.

"Go and invite them over."

"I'll go right away, sir."

The attendant immediately replied that he would not leave the headmaster's place and would always be there.

When the group entered, Jiang Shuyun was taken aback. Although she was prepared and knew they were injured, she didn't expect that they were all injured.

"Headmaster, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Wenxuan, you're exaggerating. You're all excellent and deserve to be treated well."

The man sitting in the wooden wheelchair looked to be in his early twenties.

He has the face of a scholar; I wonder what position he holds in the army.

"This is Jiang Shuyun, a graduate of two imperial examinations. After the spring examination, she came to teach at the academy."

His children love martial arts. You two can go and teach them things you're good at, so they can earn a living through their skills.

"Zhonglin, this is Liang Wenxuan, a man who has read many books but prefers to stay in the army."

"And Guan Changshan and Li Dahu, I'm entrusting them to you from now on."

The headmaster introduced the two sides, explaining that they would earn a living by teaching Zhonglin's children.

From Zhonglin's words, he knew that the couple would treat these wounded soldiers kindly.

"Mr. Jiang, I'll be troubling you in the future."

"Mr. Liang, you're too kind. I'll be leaving my children in your care from now on."

Jiang Shuyun didn't hesitate at all; he knew that these people were all battle-hardened veterans.

Everyone has their own story and experiences, and children can learn skills from them that cannot be learned from books.

"Mr. Jiang, my comrade has a family. Do you have a suitable place for them to live?"

Liang Wenxuan asked on Guan Changshan's behalf if they could make do, but not his sister-in-law and child.

"Mr. Liang, we have plenty of living space, including houses where people can live alone, but those are occupied by servants who have signed life contracts. The married servants live in separate courtyards. I wonder if Mr. Guan would mind?"

Jiang Shuyun wondered if they would mind that there were two empty courtyards in the courtyard where Butler Li and the others lived.

"I don't mind. We're all human, what does it matter?"

Liang Wenxuan made the decision for them. They had come from a pile of dead bodies, so they could let go of everything. Nothing was more important than living.

"Mr. Jiang, when do you plan to go?"

"Now is fine."

"Alright, I'll have a servant take you there. I still have class to attend."

Jiang Shuyun glanced at the headmaster and saw him nod slightly.

Jiang Shuyun asked Li Li and Wei Dong to escort the gentlemen home and explain the situation to his wife.

After Mr. Jiang and the others left, Jiang Shuyun did not rush to leave.

"Master, should we have a doctor examine your injuries? My brother-in-law's master is a skilled physician."

"For now, we don't need to worry about it. Apart from Wenxuan, the others are all external injuries, so it's nothing serious."

This matter has troubled you both; you were injured in the same battle.

With their contributions, they might not get promoted, but making a fortune wouldn't be a problem.

His Majesty will not mistreat the soldiers guarding the frontier, but their bodies are no longer suited to remain in the Northwest.

Before leaving, he distributed all the reward money to the families of the fallen soldiers.

In the northwest, most of the households are military families who have guarded the frontier for generations.

The fathers passed away, the sons took over, generation after generation, until they were all gone.

The headmaster's voice choked with emotion. Although he had never been to the frontier or fought on the battlefield, he had learned a great deal from his second son's letters.
