Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Setting Sail on a Dis
a lot of soil from the mountain, piling it up in a corner. She hoped that during the winter, she could try growing mushrooms. She figured that sautéed, fried, or stewed mushrooms would be a nice chan...Jia Yin let out a long sigh of relief in her heart. Perhaps sensing the warmth of her family, Zheng Sanjiang's lifeless eyes seemed to have lost a bit of their gloom.
Yezan called the other half-sized kids forward.
They were unlike Zheng Sanjiang, all of them powerfully built and with fierce looks. Li Laotai and the others looked pleased to see them.
They each introduced themselves, needless to say, they all shared the surname Zheng. However, their given names were so simple that it was almost embarrassing.
Zheng Er, Zheng Si, Zheng Wu, Zheng Liu, Zheng Qi.
From now on, it's easy to remember, corresponding exactly to the ranking of the Li brothers.
Jiale wanted Zheng'er, Jiaxi wanted Zhengsi, Jiakuan wanted Zhengwu, Liguer wanted Zhengliu, and Maoguer wanted Zhengqi.
Since he had calmed down, he was already a simple and taciturn person. Moreover, working at the tavern made him much more steady in his actions.
Even if he was interested in the new servant, he thought about getting to know him slowly later on and didn't rush to ask anything.
But Jai An, Jia Xi and the others couldn't wait. Their minds were filled with anticipation, like grass growing wildly. As soon as they heard a few words from the elders, they all rushed off in a swarm, taking the Zheng family boys with them.
Jia Ren didn't leave either, partly because he wanted to ask Jia Yi why he hadn't chosen a personal attendant.
Secondly, all these people are from Zhengjiazhuang. Zhengjiazhuang is the estate given by the Marquis to his sister. Suddenly drawing so many people away will it cause trouble for the estate, or make Zhengjiazhuang distance themselves from their new mistress
Zheng Feng and Zheng He clearly knew Zheng Sanjiang well. After consulting with their master, they arranged for Zheng Sanjiang to be placed in the neighboring Ye family's courtyard.
It's easier to talk to family.
Jia Yi had a nonchalant expression and shouted, “Although the people from Zhengjiazhuang are not bad, when I compare strength with them, none of them can beat me. I get impatient with this, it's better for me to be free than to have a burden by my side.”
This statement made the whole family want to roll their eyes. Let's not talk about how many people in the world are stronger than him. Just saying that Chang Sui's little servant helps run errands, he doesn't carry stones and swing grinding discs every day. What use is there for finding someone strong
But it was clear that Jia Yi, this stubborn fool, wouldn't listen to advice. So everyone decisively ignored him and stopped asking.
Jiarren pulled his sister closer and asked softly, "Funiu'er, shouldn't Zhengjiazhuang be small Deploying so many people there might leave no one to do the work back here"
Jia Yin happily said to the elder brother with a kind heart, "Brother, don't worry. The people at Zhengjiazhuang are numerous, and these hands are all martial arts practitioners since childhood. They all want to come out and see, find a way out."
"Before Zheng Feng and Zheng He came to listen to Second Uncle's orders, my godfather had said that he would pick a personal attendant for each of you. As for me, I will need people later on, and dozens more can be found in the village at any time."
Jia Ren then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "This shows that the Marquis and Zheng Family Village trust our family. When anyone else comes in the future, remember to help pass on a message saying that we will definitely treat these people well and make their families feel at ease."
"Well, Brother, rest assured. Shui Ling and Shui Yun, as well as Zheng Feng and Zheng He, went back and must have told everyone about our family's righteousness. Otherwise, Uncle Da Shan wouldn't have been able to bring so many people back so smoothly this time." Jia Yin gave her brother a reassuring pill.
As expected, Ye Shan nodded in agreement upon hearing this: "Indeed, Miss is right. I hear that the Zheng family's estate is looking to select attendants and maidservants for their young masters. Many families are eager to send their sons there."
In the end, it was still Master Zhuang who made the decision, sending Zheng Er and his team over. They were a particularly outstanding group among the young lads in the manor, having received special training. The rest of the boys needed more time to hone their skills and train.
Jia Yin was curious and asked, "Where are Zheng Yi and Zheng San"
Yè Shān replied, "Zheng Yī and Zheng Sān were sent out on errands by the Lord two years ago. I don't know when they will be back."
Jia Yin nodded and didn't ask any further questions, after all, having someone to help was enough.
At this time, Li Zhensheng actually came back from the city.
Everyone was puzzled. Li Laotai said, "Why are you back so early today Isn't it busy at the wine shop"
"Busy, aren't you!" Li Zhensheng laughed. "But the seafood supplies are running low. I want to get the fleet moving sooner, so I came back to see how the youngsters are preparing."
Li Laotai immediately said: "Fu Niu'er is afraid that her brothers will suffer on the road, so she just found a servant and got everything ready. The flotilla can set off at any time if they want!"
Tao Hongying also smiled and said, "Originally there were many children at home, plus these servants, it's going to be a riot. Sending Jia An and Jia Xi onto the ship will allow the household to have some peace."
Everyone burst into laughter. That's so true.
The Li family was like a den of boys, with four rooms giving birth to seven sons. There was only this one girl, Jia Yin.
Now there are seven little boys, each with a personal attendant, making another seven. Things are twice as lively and twice as troublesome...
We need to separate them quickly! Those who should go south, go south, and those who should return to the academy, return to the academy!
Li Zhensheng said, "Mother, there's nothing major happening at the restaurant. This time I'm going south with everyone to see how business is in Quanzhou."
Though that's what he said, Li Laotai, Tao Hongying, and Zhao Yuru all knew he wasn't at ease leaving the children behind and planned to personally go along for protection.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were very grateful. Zhao Yuru quickly said, "Brother, there's Jia Yihe and Liu Yang at home, you don't have to follow us, don't delay the business of the restaurant..."
Li Zhensheng waved his hand, "I've said it before, it's for the business in Quanzhou, not for a few kids."
Li Laotai patted her two daughters-in-law and said persuasively, “Don’t persuade him anymore. Your elder brother has a plan in mind. When the boys grow up, they'll be filial to their great uncle.”
That settled it. That night, the whole family had a reunion dinner.
Early the next morning, two carriages from the Li family set off together.
First, send Li Zhensheng and Jiaxi, Ji'an, Jia Yi, Liu Yang and others to the dock.
Li Jia's boat fleet had already prepared the drinking water, and the ships were also loaded with goods. After picking up their masters, they immediately set off.
Li La'er saw them off at the dock with Jia Ren, Jia Huan, Li Ge'er, and Mao Ge'er, waving goodbye from afar.
Meow was very downcast, so Li Lao'er comforted him, "Your second uncle wants to go too, but let's wait a few more months. During winter break, your second grandfather will take all four of you brothers and leave right away!"
Mao Ge'er was indeed delighted, Jia Ren and Li Ge'er also broke into smiles.
Only the family member chuckled and replied, "Second Uncle, you should take your elder brother and younger brothers. The restaurant is too busy for me to leave."
Li Lao'er patted him and chided, "The tavern is busy. I had your uncle hire a cook just for you. Do we really need you here The tavern will still do business without you! You're a man, not some delicate pansy; you need to go out and broaden your horizons."
Jiahuan scratched his head and then stopped talking.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they also mounted their carriages and sent Jiarren, Ligouer, and Maogouer back to the academy.
Back in town, after putting his family down, Li Lao Er returned to Suijin Beach.
Jia Yin suddenly missed her brothers as companions and felt a little out of place. She always felt like something was missing.
So, she called Shui Ling and Shui Yun to join her in wreaking havoc on the dough, trying their hand at baking cookies.
When Li Laoer arrived home, he smelled the sweet fragrance in the yard before even stepping inside.
As expected, as soon as we entered, my niece ran over with a treasure in her hand. "Uncle Two," she exclaimed, "I baked cookies! Uncle Two, please come try them!"
He smiled and ruffled his little niece's hair, just as he was about to go inside, the village head came over.
Everyone ushered the village head to sit down, tasted the cookies, and gave him a few compliments. Then the village head said, “Master, tomorrow we should go present melons to the emperor.”
"I was walking in the field just now and accidentally bumped into a jade gourd. It exploded right away, and the inside was bright red—perfectly ripe!"g, not good at studying.He is now among the best, a shining star, bringing honor to his family.Only Jia Xu's face was not good.
