The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

At noon, Yichen enjoyed the fried pork tenderloin and mushrooms as promised. She didn't eat alone, so she asked Dajun to help her and sent a large bowl to both the Ye and Zhang families.

Guan tasted it and said to her sons, "Only your Aunt Jiang would be willing to cook food like this. If it were your mother, I wouldn't be willing to do that."

"Mom, why?" Sansheng asked in confusion.

"I know." Ersheng explained to his brother, "Mom will definitely say that she gave birth to three sons, and each of them must give a bride price to marry a wife! How can we not save money?"

"Am I wrong? Other families might only need a few taels of silver to get married. But for us Thirteen Banners, ten taels of silver is not enough."

"Why?"

"Why? Don't you take a good look? Are there any girls in our Thirteen Banners?" Guan Shi was also angry when she thought of this. "Our Thirteen Banners are almost like a monk's nest. Every time we give birth, it's a boy. It's okay if I don't get pregnant, but they follow my example. Alas! All of them are boys. Where can we find wives in the future?"

Sansheng didn't like his mother's nagging. "Mom, who said there are no girls in the Thirteen Banners? Isn't Sister Chenchen a girl? She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."

"You know Chenchen is the prettiest girl. Why don't you take a look at yourselves by the river? How can you be considered worthy of her?"

"Oh. What did you say, mother?"

"... "

"No, I have to talk to your father. The next time there are exiles coming here, if they have many girls in their families, they must be distributed to our Thirteen Banners. Otherwise, what will we do in the future?"

"Mom, why are you so anxious?"

"You are not in a hurry, but your eldest brother is already thirteen this year. If you don't marry him now, what will happen in the future?"

"Ah~"

"Mom, I'm not in a hurry." Dasheng said and ran out.

"What is there for a thirteen-year-old boy to be shy about?" Guan thought that she really had to talk to her man about this matter.

Later, Guan told Jiang Yan about this matter, and Jiang Yan also agreed with Guan's approach.

Guan also told Jiang Yan, "I've even asked the head of the family to talk to the families in the small flag and exchange a few families with other small flags. But the people in our small flag just don't want to exchange with other small flags."

Tian, ​​who was washing vegetables by the river, couldn't help but interject, "Let's not talk about other centurions, let's just talk about our Xishan centurion. There are thirteen small banners in total. Which small banner is as pleasing to us as our thirteen banners? Even a fool wouldn't be willing to trade them out."

Guan felt that what Tian said made sense, but she was still worried about her son getting married.

"Don't worry, if you spread the word now, families will line up to propose marriage to you."

"Is our boss really that impressive?"

"As long as you are from our Thirteen Banners, no matter if you are a girl or a boy, you will never have trouble finding a wife."

"I agree with that." Jiang Yan also felt that what Tian said made sense.

"Then I'll ask the head of the household to talk to the other small flags when he goes back to the Hundred Households Office next time."

"We have two more kids at home, so Master Xiaoqi should also pay some attention to them."

Because of this, Jiang Yan even told Ye Zhan about it as a joke when she got home. "He was already anxious to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. My sister was so anxious about this matter that she came up with many solutions."

"This is the compassion of parents. Daughter-in-law, you don't have to laugh at Sister Guan. In a few years, you will also have to arrange a marriage for Dajun."

Jiang Yan thought about it, and it was true. "The thought of becoming a mother-in-law is incredible to me."

"How come you have such an idea?"

"I don't know how I came up with such an idea."

"Maybe they think it's a title only given to older people."

"Maybe! Another possibility is that subconsciously, I don't want to get old."

Ye Zhan felt that the last reason his wife gave was more reliable.

At night, the couple went to the lower reaches of the river again, reclaimed a piece of land, and planted sorghum.

Jiang Yan thoroughly utilized her wood-type abilities on this sorghum field. Overnight, it had grown to the same height as the corn seedlings next to it.

Ye Zhan felt a little distressed when he thought of the land cultivated by his wife. "Wife, let's hire a few farmhands."

Jiang Yan thought about it and agreed. After all, she had planted a lot more land this year than last year. Although there were three more people in the family, they were not laborers.

"Then I need to talk to Sister Guan and Zhang Xiaoqi. We're hiring long-term workers here, but I really don't know what the conditions are."

Jiang Yan finished her words and, seeing it was still early outside, she headed for the Zhang family on the other side of the river. She told Zhang Xiaoqi and Guan about her family's plans. Zhang Xiaoqi listened to Jiang Yan's thoughts and was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll go ask the boss today. He might have a good idea."

When Jiang Yan heard that they were going to ask Captain Dong, she readily agreed. "Okay."

...

General Ming sent people to take away the sweet potato seedlings, which made Jiang Yan see his greed. He took away an entire cart.

Finally, the plague god was gone, and she never wanted to deal with this person again.

Later, Jiang Yan found out that half of the sweet potato seedlings that General Ming had taken away from her were taken away by other thousand households.

This was what Captain Dong told Jiang Yan when she met him again.

Captain Dong came in a hurry this time. After seeing Jiang Yan, he asked about what he cared about most.

"Madam Jiang, I heard from Lao Zhang that you want to hire some farmhands to help you take care of the fields?"

"Yes. The captain has seen that I have planted more than double the land this year than last year. I can't take care of so many fields by myself, so I want to hire a few farmhands to help me."

Seeing that Madam Jiang really wanted to hire a long-term worker, Captain Dong told her his suggestion.

"Madam Jiang, I have a few wounded soldiers here. I wonder if you can take them in."

Jiang Yan didn't expect Captain Dong to mention the wounded soldiers to him. She couldn't wrap her mind around this and didn't respond.

Captain Dong thought Madam Jiang was unwilling, so he was silent for a few breaths before continuing to talk to Madam Jiang: "They are just lame and can no longer go to the battlefield, but it won't affect their work."

Seeing that Captain Dong had misunderstood, Jiang Yan told him about the thing that had just occurred to her.

Seeing that Madam Jiang was not opposed to these wounded soldiers, Captain Dong explained to her in detail: "They all have no relatives at home, and they have all been seriously injured. This is how their lives will end."

Having said that, Captain Dong paused for a moment before continuing with some difficulty, "I know this puts Madam Jiang in a difficult position, but I'm really worried about leaving them with someone else."

"How many are there?"

"Eight."

When Jiang Yan heard that there were only eight people, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, Captain Dong. I may not have any other abilities, but I can still feed them three meals a day."
