The most arrogant in history

Ye Kun thought about it and smiled: "Actually I don't want a concubine, but I want someone to take care of me... I'm old and I can't see anymore, so it's always good to have someone to take care of me."

Jiang Yourong chuckled: "Well, take care of me during the day and take care of you at night."

"I don't have to take care of it, really."

The young couple chatted for a long time.

Late at night, they quarreled again and then fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the sound of drums.

It was Shangguan Jifu who shot and killed a tiger at the watchtower in the south of the village.

Ye Kun was not on duty tonight and did not go to see it.

When they got up in the morning, everyone had already divided the tiger meat, and they left 20 kilograms of the best ones for Ye Kun.

Shangguan Jifu was in a good mood and patted Ye Kun on the shoulder: "Everyone says that Dalang's stuff works well, and it's true."

Ye Kun chuckled.

There are many useful tools out there, but I just don't have time to tinker with them.

Shangguan Jifu said, "But your weapon will soon be of no use. Because within seven days, the court will send a large army to search the mountain inch by inch to completely eliminate the tiger threat."

Qin Chou was surprised: "So, we won't have any tigers to fight anymore?"

The villagers were also very disappointed.

No tigers to hunt means no income and no tiger meat to eat.

During this period of hunting tigers, every family made a small fortune and could eat meat every day. The villagers were all very happy and even happier than during the Chinese New Year.

But the happy days were too short.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Brother Jifu, no wonder you said that you would wipe out the bandits in Shuangya Mountain within seven days. It turns out that the imperial army is coming!"

"Yes, this time we fight tigers and eliminate bandits at the same time."

Shangguan Jifu nodded and said, "Once the army arrives, the bandits will naturally collapse. If you want to fight the tiger, hurry up, because you only have three to five days. If you continue to fight, the money in the county treasury will not be enough to pay your reward."

Ye Kun was a little amused.

The tiger-hunting team in Cao Miao Village actually caused the financial collapse of the county?

Shangguan Jifu took the tiger head and tiger skin and left.

The villagers all looked at Ye Kun and asked, "Brother Dalang, if there are no tigers to fight in the future, what will we do and what will we eat?"

"Now that the tiger is gone, we can go hunting and dig wild vegetables."

Ye Kun smiled: "The sorghum is almost ripe, and the jute is also ready to be harvested. We will have food to eat."

Eating, that’s a small problem.

What Ye Kun was thinking about was how to make a fortune, eat delicacies every day, and take good care of his mother and wife in their old age.

arrive home.

The blind old woman came to Ye Kun and whispered, "Da Lang, our family doesn't have to pay taxes now, you can take Dai Xi as your concubine."

In the past two years, Dai Xi has often taken care of Ye Kun's mother.

So the old lady was very satisfied with Dai Xi.

Ye Kun asked, "Why do you want to marry Dai Xi?"

The old lady whispered, "Dai Xi's family has two brothers. If you marry Dai Xi, you will have another relative. No one will dare to bully you in the future. You are the only son in the family, and our Ye family is the only one. Without relatives, you will have no help."

"Okay, I'll talk to Dai Xi about it."

Ye Kun hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.

The old lady chuckled, leaned on her walking stick, and groped her way towards Dai Xi.

The old lady is blind, but she understands.

Having many relatives helps to gain a foothold in the countryside.

After lunch, Dai Xi came over and said with a red face: "Brother Dalang, my bed is broken, look..."

"I'm sorry, I forgot about this. Wait, I'll help you fix the bed."

Ye Kun smiled and went to Dai Xi's house with carpentry tools.

The home is very clean.

I also burned dried wormwood as incense.

Dai Xi's bed was also very clean, although it was covered with coarse cloth.

Ye Kun checked the wooden bed and reinforced the mortise and tenon joints with wooden wedges. He finished the repair and said to Dai Xi with a smile, "Dai Xi, try sleeping on it and see if it makes any noises now."

Dai Xi blushed: "How can I try it in broad daylight? How about Brother Dalang help me try it?"

Ye Kun sat down and shook himself on the bed.

Very stable.

"Sister Dai Xi, it's very stable this time. Even if two people sleep on it, it won't creak."

"How can there be two people in my house?" Dai Xi lowered his head.

In the morning, Ye Kun's mother found Dai Xi and told her that Ye Kun wanted to take her as a concubine.

Dai Xi was overjoyed, but didn't know how to break the ice and settle the matter with Ye Kun.

Ye Kun held Dai Xi's hand and said with a smile: "Dai Xi, if you... don't mind, we can live together in the future and help me take care of my mother. My mother likes you."

Dai Xi trembled for a moment and whispered, "Brother Dalang, are you going to... marry me as your concubine?"

"Not a concubine, but the second wife."

Ye Kun was somewhat moved and hugged Dai Xi: "My mother and You Rong both agreed. I like you, too."

Dai Xi softened and fell into Ye Kun's arms: "You don't dislike me... for being a widow?"

"I don't mind it, I like it very much."

Ye Kun couldn't control himself anymore.

Just about to move.

Dai Xi chuckled and gently pushed Ye Kun away: "That also requires a matchmaker, and... can you buy me a red hairband, the same one as Yourong's, okay?"

"Of course!"

Ye Kun smiled and squeezed Dai Xi's hand: "When the imperial army arrives and drives away the tigers and bandits, I will marry you."

"I'm waiting for you."

Dai Xi ran away with a red face.

The imperial army came quickly, with two thousand men arriving three days later.

The village heads organized tiger-hunting teams and laborers to participate in the tiger-hunting operation.

In just four or five days, the hundreds of miles of mountains were thoroughly searched, and hundreds of tigers of all sizes were killed.

There are also many wild boars and mountain cattle.

Many hedgehogs, foxes, and rabbits were also killed.

When the army arrived, the bandits in Shuangya Mountain scattered like birds and beasts and disappeared one after another.

But Ye Kun knew that as soon as the imperial army left, these bandits would soon gather together again. For the bandits, robbing houses and stealing women was definitely more exciting than farming and digging wild vegetables!

Shangguan Jifu was a local military officer, so naturally he had to cooperate with the actions of the imperial army.

On the day the army withdrew, Shangguan Jifu also said goodbye to Ye Kun: "The barbarians in the south are rebelling and invading our country. I have to go with the army and I am afraid I won't be able to come back for a while..."

Ye Kun was not surprised and nodded, "Then take care of yourself."

Shangguan Jifu smiled bitterly: "I really want to take you with me, but you have to respect your mother. I have already informed the county magistrate and the county magistrate. If you have anything, please go to County Magistrate Liu and County magistrate Wang."

"Thank you, brother Jifu."

Ye Kun also gave him a double-bow double-arrow crossbow and a short rapid-fire crossbow: "Take them with you and ask the military craftsmen to make more. They may be useful during the war."

"Of course it can be used!"

Shangguan Jifu smiled and said, "Your crossbow has a long range. If the enemy can't hit me, I can kill them. I have asked the craftsmen in the army to make a copy. When I win the battle, I will come back and ask for your credit."

"As long as you win the battle, I don't care."

Ye Kun smiled.

The next day, Ye Kun called Qin Erwu and they rode to the county town together.

The two war horses left by Shangguan Jifu gave Ye Kun even more power.

Go to the county town in the morning and return at noon.

In the county town, Ye Kun used the change to exchange for some jewelry, and bought some silk scarves, red hairbands, and a variety of daily necessities.

When Ye Kun returned home, he called Qin Chou's wife Huaihua, took out a pair of silver earrings and a silver ring, as well as a silk scarf and a red hairband, and said with a smile:

"Sister Huaihua, I want to marry Daixi as my concubine. Please be my matchmaker. These things are the betrothal gifts."

It is said to be a betrothal gift, but in fact, it will be brought back as a gift.

It's like transferring money from one hand to the other and getting a beautiful woman for free.

Huaihua's eyes lit up: "Then I am the matchmaker, so I should get a thank-you gift, right?"

Ye Kun took out another pair of small earrings: "This is a thank you gift for you, and I'll also treat you to a meal."

Sophora japonica was overjoyed and ran away happily.

The next day is an auspicious day.

At dusk, Dai Xi, wearing a red scarf, was sent to Ye Kun's home by Huaihua and several women from the village.

Jiang Yourong was smiling happily. She had already decorated the new room and made red flowers and hung them in the bridal room, looking very happy.

If the husband takes a concubine, the wife will feel proud.

This is the case in the Dading Kingdom.

Many villagers came to give gifts and drink in the wedding banquet.

The gift of one copper coin per person was so huge that Ye Kun was so disappointed that he vomited blood.

After seeing off the guests, the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber.

Jiang Yourong slept in the carpenter's workshop at the back with Caidie.

Dai Xi took the initiative to help Ye Kun undress, and whispered, "Da Lang, thank you for not despising me. If you didn't want me, I wouldn't know how long I could live... It's just that I'm too poor and don't have a dowry."

These days, it's hard for a widow without a husband to survive.

Even if you survive today, you may starve to death at any time.

"Daixi, you are the best dowry."

Ye Kun blew out the oil lamp.

In the darkness, the broken bed sang a happy song again.

Although Dai Xi had a man before, she became a widow not long after her marriage, so she can be considered a second-hand girl.

For Ye Kun, the experience was very good and harmonious.

You can gallop on horseback and drive straight ahead.
