Chapter 603 This decision is so right
Seeing that they were silent, Jiayin thought they didn't believe her as a child, but she stopped trying to persuade them and was willing to give them time to think about it.
So, she added, "My uncles' houses in the second village are all ready. Let's go and settle down for a few days. It's not too late to think about this matter carefully before making a decision."
Hearing this, Dongmei on the side quickly stepped forward to greet the veterans to go to the second village.
In just a few days, the doors and windows of the townhouses in the second village have been installed, and the big kang has been set up, with golden kang mats and snow-white window paper. Reflecting the sunlight coming in from the outside, the house feels warm. of warmth.
Mixed with a little earthy smell and a little bit of the fragrance of reeds, it makes people feel particularly reassured.
The thirty-year veteran stood in the room, slightly in a trance.
The person responsible for receiving Dongmei and the veterans is Xiaocui.
Xiaocui and Wei Erniu moved here yesterday. She is diligent and familiar with the wounded soldiers. She is a real family member.
At this moment, she greeted the veterans with a smile, "Brothers, sit down! You're welcome, this will be your home from now on. The princess specifically told you earlier that although she doesn't know when you will come, this big brother The kang has been burning for three days and it is ready to live in.
“We just need too many tables and chairs. It’s really slow to entrust the carpenters from Xiaowangzhuang to build them. You will have to make do with them for a few days.”
The veterans waved their hands quickly and said one after another.
“No, no, that’s good.”
“Yeah, this is a new house, it’ll be fine anywhere.”
Dongmei saw that they were a little restrained, so she pulled Xiaocui and said, "Brothers, you guys have a rest, we will go back to the new village to prepare food first. You should also think about what the princess said and discuss it more."
"I have been serving the princess for two years. Don't worry about the princess because she is a child. In fact, the princess has always spoken to the Li family and the Marquis. As long as you fulfill your duties, in the future, Just fell into a pit of fortune."
After saying that, they went out.
A group of veterans were left carefully sitting on the edge of the kang, stretching out their hands to polish the brand new kang mat. Someone said: "I have been thinking about such a hot kang for several years. Let me sleep for a few nights and I will die." It’s worth it.”
"Me too," others agreed, "it would be better if I had a chubby wife to hug me."
"Haha, you really dare to think that it would be nice for a killer like us to have a good way to die." Some people laughed, but their words were full of bitterness.
The dark-faced man who took the lead in the Ye family spoke up, "I dare to think! I dare to marry a mother-in-law, have a few naughty boys, and settle down here. How many times have we almost died outside, but we have survived. Now, no matter what blessings you think about in the future, they will all be deserved!
“But if I want to settle here directly and enjoy this new house and these good days with peace of mind from now on, I feel unsure. I have to sign a death deed and work for the princess for a few years before I can feel at ease.
"I'm not saying that the Marquis and the Li family are untrustworthy, but I believe in the princess even more! Such a young child is extremely smart and sensible. Which of you has seen it before? At least I have never seen it!
"I have a feeling that if we choose this master, we will definitely make no mistake for the rest of our lives! If you believe in me, Lao Hei, then sign the death contract with me."
The veterans were silent for a while, and a few stood next to Lao Hei.
“I heard from Brother Hei. The last time the barbarians attacked us at night, Brother Hei said we didn’t feel good, so we didn’t even sleep, so we didn’t have our heads cut off in our dreams!”
"Yes, I believe in Brother Hei too! The princess does look extraordinary. Besides, the princess still has such a large fief. We won't be hungry if we help the princess farm the land in the future."
They all talked about it, and they were all determined to stay.
When the other people saw this, they also stood up and said one after another.
"If you want to stay, then stay together. I just came back from the north. I'm afraid of carrying a knife in my dreams. If I stay here, I will definitely get into trouble. It's better to go out for a walk first."
“That’s right, it would be unjust to enter a workshop and compete with brothers who have lost their arms and legs.”
“It’s best to go out for a walk, come back and stay for a while, and then go out for a walk. We don’t have to be bored in one place. Our skills have not been wasted for so many years.”
Lao Hei nodded and saw that everyone agreed, so he said: "Then let's go. Let's talk to the Marquis and Princess, so that we can live in peace in the future and we will feel at ease." "Okay, let's go!" Everyone agreed, and then We went back to Xincun together.
Jiayin was pouting her little mouth and coquettishly saying to her adoptive father, "Father, Fu Niu'er didn't say something right. They don't seem to believe Fu Niu'er."
The Marquis held her in his arms and sat beside her, saying, "No, what you just said was very good, that's what a person in power should do, use both soft and hard tactics.
“Treat a slave like raising a horse. You must first give it fodder to get close to you, and then use it. If it is disobedient, you must whip it, and after whipping it, you must comfort it.
“It takes almost three to five years for good talents to be used before they can be used. You are still young, so it is normal for them not to trust you. It will get better gradually in the future.”
Jiayin nodded and said: "I know, foster father, there is a story in the book about buying horse bones for thousands of gold. Even if there are only a few of these people who sign the death contract and are willing to run errands for me, I won't be angry. I will treat them well. Others have seen it. , you will be willing to believe me in the future, right?"
“Yes,” Mr. Hou patted the little girl’s forehead and said with a smile, “but remember, you are their master, and their life and death depend on your thoughts. It’s their fault if you are unhappy.
“Don’t harm yourself for anyone. Don’t forget this sentence at any time!”
“I know, adoptive father!” Jiayin hugged his adoptive father’s arm and finally smiled.
Being favored unconditionally is the happiest thing in the world.
At this time, thirty veterans came back, all knelt down and saluted, and asked to sign a death deed.
Jiayin smiled more and more, stepped forward to help them up, and said happily: "Thank you uncles for trusting me. I will set up a few tables of banquets for my uncles tonight, and it won't be too late to sign the contract tomorrow!"
"As for going south, it's best to wait for another half month. We need to prepare clothes, shoes and socks for everyone, make weapons, medicines and poisons for self-defense, draw medicinal materials brochures, buy carriages and horses, everything must be complete and thoughtful, everyone. My son will suffer less when he is outside."
Everyone was happy to hear this, and felt more and more that this decision was the right one.
Even though they were in Jiangbei, it was so dangerous and they didn’t have so many means of self-protection.
Now it's just a matter of finding a herb, and the princess is taking care of it in every possible way. This really shows how much she values them.
Uncle Hei took the lead and bowed to show his determination, "Don't worry, Princess, we will take care of the errands assigned by the Princess."
At this time, the Marquis also stood up and stood beside Jiayin, looked at everyone and said: "You used to be my soldiers, but from now on you will only have the princess as your master! Her orders are everything, and neither I nor the Li family can order you." , understand?”
"Understood! Don't worry, Lord Marquis! We will leave this life to the princess from now on!" The veterans all knelt down this time.
Good news helped them get up again.
Dongmei and Xiaocui had just finished cooking, so they called on everyone to help set the table for dinner.
The veterans felt relieved and looked more at ease. They started to get busy with smiles and the yard immediately became lively.
The good news was so happy that Dongmei Yeshan, Aunt He and Shui Ling Shuiyun, and even Zhengjiazhuang, strictly speaking, were not exclusively hers.
But these thirty veterans were signed in her name and from now on they will be her domestic slaves, her private soldiers, and they will be sharp swords that act completely according to her will!
She took her adoptive father's hand and thanked her: "Father, thank you for giving me such a good birthday gift!"
The Marquis smiled and said, "You are wrong. Your adoptive father has other arrangements for your birthday gift, but it is still outside and will not be seen until a few years later."
Jiayin was curious, so she pestered her adoptive father and asked, "Father, what kind of gift is this? It will take several years to see you again?"
Three updates! Thanks to the analgesic shots at the small clinic downstairs of my home, I resumed my third shift today! My editor praised me for being physically disabled but strong-willed, haha! The update is a bit late, try to make it early tomorrow! come on!
