Chapter 308 Who Made Me Marry a Wolf!

    

valleys, construction in all areas was nearing completion.On both sides of the mountain, fruit trees were planted, and underneath the fruit trees, ridges were tilled for planting grain.Although the vi...At this time, Tao Hongying brought in a large bowl of dumplings. They were filled with pork and cabbage, and she smiled as she said, “Come, Mr. Yan, eat your fill first. There's still porridge simmering on the stove, and boiled eggs too. Whenever Hui's mother wakes up, we can have them.”

Young Master Yan felt relieved, thanked them after that, and then devoured his meal ravenously.

Seeing that the pottery bowl was empty, everyone felt relieved. It's good that they could eat.

Soon, everyone else left as well.

That night, the old woman stayed with the couple in the east room, providing care and assistance if needed.

Jia Yin ran to snuggle with her mother.

She was also curious about how her parents had discussed it, and whether her father could go to war.

Unfortunately, Lao Si called his son Jia An over, and the two of them lay on the kang pretending to ride horses. They used their hands to lift the little girl as if she were in a palanquin, rolling around like a top, laughing so hard that even Mao Geer was drawn into playing with them.

When Jia Yin was happy playing, she slept soundly and naturally didn't see her parents holding hands throughout the night, their grasp filled with too much reluctance…

The Yan family's carriage was hidden by Zhao Shu and several others. Master and Mistress Yan didn't go out, and the villagers had long since developed the good habit of keeping their mouths shut.

So, the couple of Master Yen and Miss Hui stayed in the village for seven or eight days, but no one came looking for them.

The blood scabs on Yan Gongzi's wounds had formed, allowing him to walk under the eaves.

And Hui-niang could also sit up and take care of herself with eating, drinking, and using the toilet.

She was a quiet and gentle person, rarely seen but hardworking, especially skilled at embroidery.

The old lady occasionally sewed, and when someone talked to her, she would help pick out the embroidery thread.

If the old lady was busy doing something, she would pick up her needlework and sew a few stitches or embroider a piece. Both the old lady and Tao Hongying were full of praise for her work.

She also sewed some small things herself. It not only filled her leisure time but was also not tiring.

In just a few days, Jia Yin received two beautiful purses. One was a small cloth bag filled with snacks, which made Jia Yin smile from ear to ear.

This afternoon, the Lord who had been in the city for many days finally returned.

Jia Yin was riding on her father's neck, circling in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

Here, in the south of the Yangtze River, things are different from the vast northern steppes.

At this time of year, the northern regions are still bitterly cold enough to freeze people solid. Every day, one can't leave the kang (heated bed) and step outside.

But here in Jiangnan, it's warm outside but cold inside. Sitting on a heated kang bed, you still need to cover your legs with a quilt.

Lao Si heard the noise and ran out carrying his daughter. Ye Shan was moving things to the next yard, and the Marquis carried two boxes and waved them at Jia Yin. "Funiu, I brought you good things!"

Jiayin clapped her hands with glee, almost falling off her father's shoulder.

Li Laosi quickly helped his daughter up and whispered, "Lord Hou, have you set a date for your campaign"

The Lord nodded and replied with a smile, "Alright, the day after tomorrow. But if your aunt doesn't agree, I wouldn't dare to take you along."

Upon being reminded by the lord, Li Laosi's face fell.

These past few days, my mother has been giving me the cold shoulder and refusing to speak to me. He's been so worried, completely clueless about what's going on in her mind...

For a moment, they entered the courtyard. The old woman heard the noise and came out to greet them. Young Master Yan also followed behind. Lord Hou greeted him with a few words.

At this moment, the village head and Zhao Uncle, along with a few others who knew the Lord had returned, gathered to chat.

Hearing that they would be setting out the day after tomorrow, everyone was curious.

"Finally, are those insignificant officials in the court scared"

The Lord nodded, rarely smiling and said, “The barbarians attacked the dock twice. The second time they almost crossed the river. Those old men in court were so scared they nearly wet themselves. Even General Dingbei feigned illness and refused to go back to the dock.”

"The Emperor took back all the military power and gave it to me, allowing me to command 50,000 troops and defend against the enemy with all my might. We'll be setting out tomorrow, so I came back today to see everyone. Tomorrow, I have to return to Kyoto!"

Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

"Good, good, that's the way to do it! Those good-for-nothings can talk a big game, but when things get real, they're all scaredy cats!"

"When things get critical, you can always count on the Marquis like this, a truly capable man!"

Li Laosi looked at his mother with pleading eyes, wanting to ask a few questions but too afraid to do so.

The old woman didn't see her son like this, she only held her granddaughter and spoke to her.

On the contrary, Tao Hong felt sorry for her husband and whispered to help him plead.

"Mother, why not let the fourth son go out with the Marquis on his campaign... He stays at home, he probably won't have much of a smile anyway. Instead of that, it's better to let him do whatever he wants."

The old woman sighed and pulled her daughter-in-law down, "You're too soft-hearted. Since the fourth one left, you probably haven't been eating well or sleeping soundly, always thinking about him."

Tao Hongying's eyes welled up. "Mother, when a woman marries, she follows her husband. I married a wolf, didn't I He might be confined for a while, but not forever. Besides, he's been good to me all these years at home. Now that I have children and my mother's love, he... if he wants to go out and explore, let him go!"

The old woman remained silent for a long time before asking Jia Yin, "Has Fu Niu been accompanying her father these past few days Has she let him enjoy some of her good fortune!"

"Yes!" Jia Yin emphasized with a nod, "Fu Niu'er brought so much good fortune to her father."

As expected, the old woman smiled and kissed her granddaughter before saying, "Fourth child, get ready. You're going to set out with the Marquis. But remember, no matter what happens out there, don't act rashly. Listen to the Marquis and come back safe..."

"Mother!" Li Laosi was so excited that he went mad, plopping to his knees and bowing his head to his mother, "Thank you, Mother. I will definitely not cause trouble and return safely."

Li Lao Tai helplessly waved her hand.

At this moment, she was incredibly grateful that she had sent Jiayi and the eldest son to the south early on. Otherwise, she would have definitely been involved in the commotion and would have had to follow the lord to the battlefield as well.

The Lord then instructed Ye Shan, "Bring the box here."

Ye Shan went to get it and soon returned with a long box.

Jia Yin immediately jumped down from her grandmother's lap and ran to the Marquis' side.

The lord hugged her, the big and small looked at each other, understanding each other. "I found some good materials and made some weapons for the fourth."

The marquis pointed at the chest. "Fourth son, take a look and see if it's suitable."

Li Lao Si excitedly rubbed his hands together and quickly opened the box.

Inside the box lay a saber over two feet long, its entire body as dark as night except for the blade, which gleamed like snow. The hilt was wrapped in a special leather band that was both sweat-absorbent and non-slip.

Li Lao Si weighed it in his hand, it was very heavy. An ordinary person would probably find it burdensome, but he found it just right to use.

He brandished it twice, the length just right.

The entire blade, devoid of any ornate patterns, was terrifying to behold. At a glance, it was evident that this was a tool for reaping lives.

"Good knife, good knife!" Li Laosi laughed so hard his mouth nearly reached his ears.

The Lord also nodded. "The materials are rare, otherwise I would have equipped the entire army with it. Unfortunately, there is only this one. As for the remaining scraps, I had the craftsmen make two daggers and twenty arrows for you. I also got a longbow from the inner storehouse for you. Find some free time to equip yourself and practice diligently."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Li Lao Si hurriedly searched the box again. He was more familiar with a bow and arrow than a saber.

Now that he has a good bow and sharp arrows, he is truly like a tiger with wings added!

Every man can't resist the temptation of good weapons. The village head and Zhao Shu and others also came forward, touching the saber and examining the arrowheads, showing great fondness for them.

The Lord seized this opportunity to open the two small boxes and whispered to Jia Yin, "There are many good things in the inner treasury. Your foster father has also given you some jewelry. You can't take it away for now, just keep it and wear it when you grow up."

Jia Yin's eyes lit up with joy, she gave her adoptive father a big kiss and then quickly slipped away. She found a secluded spot and put the box into her spatial dimension.

Her little piggy bank got even bigger!

The old woman and Tao Hongying, of course, saw the boy's little actions. They just didn't want to expose him.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spoke in low voices, figuring out how to pack up the fourth son's belongings.

What are there, Lord, that you could use, and also prepare an extra portion

At this time, Master Yan, who had been silently watching the commotion, suddenly stood up and knelt before the Marquis...

Today's third update is here~ Wishing all my little treasures a happy Children's Day~ Then, Huahua will continue to beg for tickets and good reviews (five stars or like it) again, woo woo.
