Seeing that they didn't speak, Jiayin thought they didn't believe her little child, but she didn't persuade them anymore, and was willing to give them time to think about it.

So, she said again, "Every uncle's house in the second village is ready, let's go and rest for a few days, it's not too late to think about it before making a decision."

Dongmei on the side heard this, and hurried forward to greet the veterans to the second village.

In the past few days, the doors and windows of the row houses in the second village have been installed, and the big kang has been set up. The golden kang mats are spread, and the snow-white window paper reflects the sunlight coming in from the outside. There is a sense of warmth in the house. warmth.

Mixed with a little earthy smell and a little reed fragrance, it makes people feel at ease.

Thirty veterans stood in the room, slightly dazed.

It was Xiaocui who was in charge of receiving Dongmei and the veterans.

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! Don't be polite, this will be your home from now on. The Princess has made it clear that although I don't know when you will come, this big The kang has been burning for three days, and it is ready to live in.

"It's just that the tables and chairs are too much. It's a bit slow to entrust the carpenters in Xiaowangzhuang to build them. It will take a few days for you to finish."

The veterans quickly waved their hands and said one after another.

"No, no, that's fine."

"Yeah, this is a new house, and it will be done wherever it is."

Dongmei saw that they were restrained, so she pulled Xiao Cui and said, "Brothers, take a rest, let's go back to the new village to arrange food. 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 her words being counted because she is a child. In fact, the princess is the same in the Li family and in the Hou Ye. You just need to do your duty. In the future It just fell into the pit of fortune."

After all, 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 mats, and someone said: "I have been thinking about such a hot big kang for several years. Let me sleep for a few nights, and I will die." It's worth it."

"Me too," others echoed, "It would be even better if I had a chubby daughter-in-law in my arms."

"Haha, how dare you think, for a killer like us, it would be nice to have a good death." Some people laughed, but their words were full of bitterness.

The black-faced man who took the lead in the Ye family before said, "I dare to think! I dare to think that I will marry a wife, have a few naughty boys, and settle down here. How many times we almost died outside, we survived It's time to think about any blessings in the future!

"But if I want to settle down here and enjoy this new house and enjoy these good days with peace of mind from now on, I don't know what to do. I have to sign a death contract and work for the princess for a few years, so that I can feel at ease.

"I'm not saying that Lord Hou and the Li family are untrustworthy, but I believe in the princess even more! Such a young child is extraordinarily smart and reasonable. Has any of you seen it? At least I haven't!

"I have a feeling that if we choose this master, we will definitely not be wrong for the rest of our lives! If you believe in me, Old Hei, sign a death contract with me."

The veterans were silent for a while, and some of them stood beside Old Hei.

"I heard from Brother Hei. The last time the barbarians attacked at night, it was Brother Hei who said that we didn't feel well. We didn't sleep, so we avoided being cut off in a dream!"

"Yeah, I also believe in Old Heige! The princess really looks unusual, and besides, the princess still has such a big fief, so we won't be hungry if we help the princess farm the land in the future."

They all talked about it in one go, but they all insisted on staying.

When the rest of the people saw this, they also stood up and said one after another.

"If you want to stay, stay together. I just came back from the north. I'm afraid of picking up a knife in my dreams. If I stay here, I will definitely cause trouble. It's better to go out for a walk."

"That's right, if you enter the workshop and compete with those brothers who have no arms and legs, it would be unfair."

"Go out for a walk, come back to live for a while, and then go out for a walk. This is the best way. You don't need to be bored in one place. We haven't wasted all our skills for so many years."

Old Hei nodded, and seeing that everyone agreed, he said: "Then let's go, and tell the Marquis and the princess, and we will feel at ease when we are born safely in the future."

"Okay, let's go!" Everyone responded, and then went back to the new village together.

Jiayin was pouting and acting like a spoiled child to her adoptive father, "Father, is it because Fu Niuer didn't agree with her? They don't seem to believe Fu Niuer."

Hou Ye hugged her and sat beside her, and said, "No, what you said just now is very good, that's what a superior should do, playing both soft and hard.

"Treating a servant is like raising a horse. You have to give it fodder to get close to you, and then use it. If you don't obey, you have to whip it, and after you shake the whip, you have to appease it.

"It takes three to five years for a good manpower to be used. You are still young, and it is normal for them not to trust you. You will get better in the future."

Jiayin nodded and said: "I know, adoptive father, there is a story in the book about buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars. Even if there are only a few of these people who signed a death contract and are willing to do errands for me, I will not be angry. I must treat them well. , you will be willing to trust me in the future, won’t you?”

"That's right," Lord Hou patted the little girl's forehead and said with a smile, "but remember, you are their master, and their life and death are all in your hands. If you are unhappy, it is their fault.

"Don't wrong yourself for anyone, don't forget this sentence at any time!"

"Understood, adoptive father!" Jiayin hugged adoptive father's arm and finally smiled.

Being favored unconditionally is really the happiest thing in the world.

At this time, thirty veterans went and returned, all knelt down and saluted, demanding to sign the death contract.

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 will not be too late to sign the contract tomorrow!

"As for going to the south, it's best to wait another half a month. You have to prepare clothes, shoes and socks for everyone, make weapons, wound medicine and poison for self-defense, draw a booklet of medicinal materials, and buy chariots and horses. You must be well-equipped and thoughtful, everyone. Only when my son is outside can he suffer less."

Everyone was happy to hear this, and felt that this decision was too correct.

They are in Jiangbei, so dangerous, and they don't have so many means of self-protection.

Now it's just looking for a herbal medicine, and the princess is taking care of and maintaining it in every possible way, which really values ​​them.

Uncle Hei took the lead and went forward, saluting to express his determination, "Don't worry, the princess, we will take care of the errands assigned by the princess."

At this time, Lord Hou also got up and stood beside Jiayin, looked at everyone and said, "You used to be my soldiers, but in the future you will only be the princess! Her orders are everything, including me and the Li family. , understand?"

"Understood! Don't worry, Lord Hou! We will leave this life to the princess!" The veterans all knelt down this time.

Jiayin helped them up again.

Dongmei and Xiaocui had just finished cooking, so they asked everyone to help set the table for dinner.

The veterans felt relieved and looked more at ease. They smiled and got busy, and the yard immediately became lively.

Jiayin was overjoyed, Dongmei Yeshan, He Nanny and Shuiling Shuiyun, and even Zhengjiazhuang, strictly speaking, were not hers.

But these thirty veterans, signed under her name, will be her domestic slaves and private soldiers in the future, and they are sharp swords that act completely according to her will!

She tugged on her adoptive father's hand to express her gratitude: "Father foster, thank you for giving me such a good birthday present!"

Hou Ye smiled, "You're wrong, your foster father has other arrangements for your birthday gift, but it's still outside, and it will take a few years to see."

Jiayin was curious, and pestered her adoptive father to ask, "Father, what gift is it, it will take several years to see it?"

Three more!Thanks to the pain relief injections from the small clinic downstairs in my house, I recovered from the third shift today!My editor praised me for my disability, haha!The update is a bit late, try to advance tomorrow!come on!
