When they arrived at the yard, it was a mess. Some people said that three women were acting alone, but when over a dozen men gathered together, it was not a matter of acting together, it was even more troublesome than a flock of ducks.
The moment Ning Yan walked in, it was quiet for a moment, then started to get lively again. People who were familiar with each other stood together and started to discuss the things that they would see in the city.
There was even talk about the beauty in the county, how soft the waist of brothels was.
Ning Yan smiled as she listened.
While at it, he observed the attitudes of these people as well as their personalities.
After watching for almost an hour and standing in the sun, these men talked for a long time, and their mouths were filled with thirst.
Then it slowly quieted down.
"Enough?" Ning Yan asked.
"Lady Ning, what did you call us down for?"
"Of course there's a reason. Now, immediately change your clothes. The new clothes are in the main hall, go get it."
"There are clothes."
"New clothes?"
"…" The mountaineers cried out in alarm before they turned around and walked towards the main house.
Seeing the clothes arranged neatly inside, the villagers who had put on their clothes and walked out stood on the open ground like a rascal.
Some of them were wearing tight clothes, while others were loose.
There were only a few suitable ones.
Ning Yan caressed the whip in her hand, raised her head and looked, the situation was beyond her imagination.
People these days are always like this...
Don't you know what suits you?
"I'll give you guys the time for another cup of tea to change your clothes. If you don't change your clothes, you won't have to eat tonight."
"What …"
"Can't eat?"
"Switch …"
At this time, people had an incomparable thirst for food. When they heard that there would be no food if they couldn't change clothes, they immediately started to look for suitable clothes.
The time needed to boil a kettle of tea had come.
There were two people whose clothes didn't fit.
Ning Yan knocked on her door: "The two of you don't have anything to eat tonight."
"Elder Lady, it's not that I don't change my clothes, it's that his body stinks of fox. Why do you think a man stinks of fox?
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have a manly aura. Those brothel girls from yesterday were mesmerized by the smell on my body."
"…" The manliness, Ning Yan suddenly felt that the girls in the brothel were not easy to deal with.
After all, a thing like a bad smell like a fox, sigh, it's hard to put into words.
"Be quiet."
When Ning Yan said this, the two of them lowered their heads in grievance. Since they had no food to eat, they had to starve.
"All of them. Line up according to the size of the small man."
"..." Lady Ning, what do you mean by lining up? "
"…" Ning Yan was about to lose all hope. She turned and looked at Chen Huo: "Come."
Chen Huo chuckled and stood up. In his hand was a spear, the tip of the spear had a silver light aura around it.
He took over Ning Yan's position and lined up according to the military training method. In the end, they led a group of men to run around the courtyard.
The space in the courtyard wasn't big, and if he were to run, he wouldn't be able to open it.
But if it's just a simple warm-up, there's no problem.
"I'll leave it to you. After training, I'll go back." After Ning Yan finished speaking, she took out the Le Shiyi Brothers who were hidden in the room: "You guys follow me."
"Oh." The Le Brothers cleverly followed Ning Yan and ran behind the group of ten-odd people when they saw her fierce expression.
After looking for a while, Ning Yan seemed to be somewhat confused about Chen Huo's training method.
However, they had already given their sovereignty to Chen Huo, so he would not interfere.
Leaving the courtyard, Ning Yan just so happened to see someone walking out from the door opposite him. It might be the Old Wang who Le Shiyi had mentioned earlier.
Then he asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes, yes."
It was unknown whether the old man was talking about eating lunch or eating dinner, but as Ning Yan thought about this, she smiled.
When she saw him, she asked him if he had eaten. She didn't know if it was due to her body.
Walking home, there was still a long line in front of the door. However, the women in the line were all waiting for him. If he looked carefully, he could see some unfamiliar figures.
They should be from the neighboring village, and they also wanted to take advantage of this time to earn some money.
Ning Yan looked at the busy Zhao Liang, then looked at Wu Yuvniang who was recording her accounts, and suddenly realised that there was a reason why all those who were queuing up for the scales had become women.
Carefully looking at Wu Yuvniang, at such a young age, the fur on her face was so fine that it could not be seen.
Looking at the women waiting in line, they were all as thick as a person's waist, strong and muscular, with broad shoulders. It wasn't without reason that a woman could hold up to half the sky.
All men were big pig's feet. Seeing how the Wu Yuvniang, who knew how to write, and more importantly, the woman who managed the money on the table, could not think at all?
"Go to the kitchen. I'll take note of it."
"Elder Lady, can you write?" Wu Yuvniang was surprised to hear Ning Yan's words.
Her words were not a ridicule or a ridicule, but, after coming to this house for so long, she had not seen the words written by Ning Yan at all.
"I know how to write. Hurry up and cook. I'll be back in a while."
"Then, alright." Wu Yuvniang turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
As for Wu Yuvniang, she still rather liked the matters of kitchen. After following Wet Nurse Jia here, her days had become more and more fulfilling.
Although there was a huge difference in status, but … It was already rare for a woman who had committed a crime.
"Cough, Zhao Liang, you're tired too. You keep the accounts, I'll carry the scales."
"…" Zhao Liang nodded, and looked at Ning Yan with ridicule.
The smile in his eyes seemed to be saying, you don't know how to write, right?
The corner of Ning Yan's mouth twitched, she reached out and placed the weighing rod on her shoulder.
Zhao Liang almost cried when he saw this action.
A woman with such strength really made people jealous.
As for taking the pen to take over Wu Yuvniang's account, when she saw the handsome words on the account book, her heart rippled.
When your daughter grows up, let her learn to write. Thinking of this, his mouth revealed a trace of a smile.
After Ning Yan weighed the fruits in the basket, she saw Zhao Liang staring at the xuan paper in a daze, and bellowed: Now that you are done with your work, even if you don't write with a pen, what are you doing, daydreaming?
"…" It was not a daydream. Reading was so expensive, and even the young lad found it difficult to read. How could he have the spare money to give the girl?
Zhao Liang laughed.
Start working.
It was late in the day before the people at the door left.
"Lady Ning, the people from the outer village also came to sell fruits recently. Furthermore, the mountain is only this big, one day, all the fruits will be plucked.
"I won't." Ning Yan shook her head.
Zhao Liang did not believe him, but continued, "How can that be, as long as people have more guts, they will grow up."
"There's no need to do that in two days." Ning Yan said.
Zhao Liang instantly shut his mouth. It wasn't as if no one was willing to take the fruit, and no one was willing to continue picking the fruits.
"When we have another weighing tomorrow, remember to say that you won't accept it for another two days."
"Alright." Zhao Liang nodded and agreed.
"Ning Yan, what are you doing with so many wild fruits, it's so sour and it's not tasty."
"You don't know." Although the fruit is sour, it becomes sweet when boiled in sugar water.
