Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenxiu hugged him tighter.

Prince Ning is a man who can do great things, so why are you so excited?

Du Wenxiu didn't dare to ask.

she knows.

Lu Fanghai continued, "The county lieutenant has decided to surrender the city. The Ning Wang's soldiers are brave and powerful. Even if we stay at home, we won't be able to hold out for two or three days, and we will only suffer casualties."

"Now the people are in a panic. If there is a war, I am afraid that before the outside world comes, the city will be in chaos."

"Since this is the case, it is better for a good bird to choose a tree to roost in. We should surrender as soon as possible and help Prince Ning to ascend the throne of the emperor."

"But..." Lu Fanghai finally said.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." Du Wenxiu had made up his mind, so he stopped hesitating and said with a smile.

"When I was little, I heard a saying that women hold up half the sky. Go find your future, how can I hold you back?"

Having said this, I felt a lot more relieved.

"Besides, my business with Yue Niang is gradually picking up. If you just stay at home, I might get tired of you one day and think you are incompetent. In this case, you might as well go out and start a career, don't you think?"

Lu Fanghai chuckled: "Xiuniang really understands me. I don't know anything else, but now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to let it go."

"Yeah." Du Wenxiu hugged him and responded softly.

The next day, the county lieutenant Fan Zhao disclosed in public that the county magistrate had fled upon hearing the news and was captured, causing an uproar among the people.

County lieutenant Fan Zhao ordered the soldiers to open the city gates, and Prince Ning's army marched in in an orderly manner without disturbing the people.

The people in the city finally felt relieved and were no longer panic-stricken. Instead, they smiled and poured tea and water to the soldiers.

Lu Fanghai brought guests at noon, namely Shi Qiwen and Lu Dawei.

The Du sisters were busy in the kitchen, preparing a table of delicious food for the guests.

Shi Qiwen said, "This time we are here with the young general to deal with the matter of the Dongxing County Magistrate. King Ning remembered that Master Fan and Brother Lu had contributed a lot to the suppression of the bandits, so he asked us to invite you to come along."

Lu Fanghai smiled and nodded, then filled Shi Qiwen's glass with wine.

"I have heard that Brother Lu is a subordinate of General Wu. General Wu is very famous, and his subordinates are certainly not cowards. Today, I am sending a call for talents to you on behalf of King Ning. I wonder if Brother Lu is willing to live and die with us and build a great cause together."

"I am willing to serve His Royal Highness Prince Ning at all costs." Lu Fanghai had discussed this with Fan Zhao long ago and had made up his mind, so he was willing to do it.

Several people raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp, laughing and chatting, and both the host and the guests were having a great time.

Lu Dawei's eyes seemed to be glued to Du Wenchan's face as she came to serve the dishes, and he stared at her until her face turned red.

Du Wenchan was so ashamed and angry that she dared not go again.

A Luo took the plate and brought it over, glaring at Lu Dawei fiercely.

When Shi Qiwen saw this, he understood what was going on. After three rounds of drinking, he changed the subject and said:

"I heard that Brother Lu and our brother Lu came back from the barracks together. Brother Lu is now enjoying his life with his lovely wife. Haha."

Lu Fanghai was drunk at this time, and he didn't know what Shi Qiwen meant by this, so he continued his words:

"Hehe, the proudest thing in my life is marrying such a virtuous wife. A man feels at home only when he has a wife."

As he said this, he asked Shi Qiwen to drink, but Shi Qiwen blocked his way with his hand and pointed at Lu Dawei who was sitting next to him:

"Brother Lu has a good wife who takes care of the household affairs, but he forgot that your brother is still a bachelor."

Lu Fanghai laughed and kicked Lu Dawei's butt as he was sitting on the stool. Lu Dawei was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing?" he said angrily.

"Haha, you little brat, if you hadn't become a bandit soon after returning home, I would have had to ask someone to be your matchmaker. Since you've become a bandit in the mountains, how can you have a home?"

Lu Dawei looked lonely. He sighed, glanced at the busy figures in the kitchen, and said nothing.

Shi Qiwen hurriedly stopped Lu Fanghai's hand from reaching out to hit Lu Dawei on the head, and persuaded him:

"Hey, brother, how can you say that? Back then, Dawei also followed me to do confidential things, but it can't be considered as becoming a bandit. Even now, we are following Prince Ning to conquer the world. After the success, we will definitely be able to get a position, and then we will be officials."

Lu Fanghai thought what he said made sense and nodded, and then taught Lu Dawei not to bully men and women when he becomes an official...

Shi Qiwen saw that he was indeed drunk and the topic had gone off topic, so he quickly pulled it back:

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, we all know what kind of person Dawei is. There's no need to worry about him. Brother Lu, do any of your relatives have any unengaged young ladies? Maybe you can pair them up, and when the marriage is successful, she will be the official's wife."

Lu Wenhai was drunk and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying:

"My sister has already married Fan Chengyi, you know that, Brother Shi..."

It seemed that this man was really drunk. Shi Qiwen looked at Lu Dawei helplessly. The man sat there aggrieved, lowering his head and sighing.

Du Wenchan was hiding in the kitchen at the moment and didn't come out. Even when she needed to warm the wine, it would be A Luo or Du Wenxiu who came over.

Lu Fanghai drank for a while and then fell asleep on the table.

Shi Qiwen didn't expect that he had such a poor alcohol tolerance and couldn't say anything when he was drunk. After sitting for a while, he took Lu Dawei and left.

Du Wenxiu hurried out to see him off. Shi Qiwen told her the time when the army would set out, and asked her to pass on the message. He would also send soldiers to convey the message, asking Lu Fanghai not to delay the event.

Du Wenxiu agreed repeatedly, and Shi Qiwen and the other man turned around and walked out.

A Luo went up to clean up the leftovers on the table, but was startled by Lu Fanghai's sudden rise.

Lu Fanghai smiled at her, then quickly stood up and closed the gate.

"I knew you couldn't drink that much." Du Wenxiu pointed at him and said with a smile, "You are a sly guy."

"Hehe." Lu Fanghai stepped forward and helped her sit down, saying with a smile: "He wants to propose marriage to my aunt, but he hasn't asked my aunt and you guys what you think. How can I dare to agree? I have no choice but to resort to this last resort and muddle through first."

Only then did Du Wenchan realize the hidden meaning of his action and hurried forward to greet him and express her gratitude.

Lu Fanghai waved his hand and said, "Although this is just a delaying tactic, to be honest, Shi Qiwen's suggestion is not bad. My aunt and I may consider it. I know Lu Dawei's character because we have a life-long friendship. If the Ning Wang plan is successful, he will be promoted to a higher position, which will not be a disgrace to my aunt."

Du Wenchan blushed and could not speak, she just looked at Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu smiled slightly and said, "It's not that he's bad. Firstly, my sister is still in mourning, and secondly, if you march your army immediately, you can't predict what will happen to her in the future."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, even if he gets an official position in the future, he might despise my sister because she is too old and not worthy of him. There is no need to be so angry."

Every time she said something, Du Wenchan nodded continuously.

Lu Fanghai lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then said, "Xiuniang's words make sense. I'll ask him about these issues later. If it's not good, we won't let my aunt marry."
