A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Chapter 148 The Story of the Marquis of Dingxi

Lin He'er returned home and handed the old soldier over to Meng Xing, asking him to explain the situation at home to the man and arrange for him to stay in the front yard with Meng Xing. He would stay at home for the next couple of days, and then move to the other side once the servants from the workshop arrived.

The veteran's name was Xu Mao. He got along very well with Meng Xing, probably because they had both served in the military. He simply nodded and followed his wife's instructions. He was a decent person.

Lin He'er rested at home for a day, and the next day she went to the street to buy a lot of things. The workshop would be housing so many people, and daily necessities and other miscellaneous items had to be prepared in advance. After two busy days, everything was finally arranged and she could go to Lianshui Town to pick up people.

Xu Mao was going to accompany them to Lianshui Town this time. Lin He'er rented a carriage, and the three of them traveled to Lianshui Town in two carriages.

Upon arriving at the brokerage firm in town, Lin He'er briefly greeted the broker and then led her people directly to the county seat.

After bringing them back today, I arranged for them to stay in the workshop. Since it was getting late and there wasn't time to follow the rules, I just arranged their rooms temporarily and then went home myself!

Because she had been so busy lately, Lin He'er was surprised to find out that Wen Yuning was on vacation today when she got home!

A group of children surrounded Wen Yuning, asking him all sorts of questions.

Wen Yuning was as good-tempered as ever, and he answered every question from these chattering kids. Hearing that the master of the family was a scholar, everyone looked at him with even more admiration!

Okay, okay, go wash up, it's time for bed soon.

Seeing that the lady had returned home, Granny Li naturally wanted to give the couple some time, so she took the children back to the front yard.

Lately, the children have gotten used to following Li Mama's instructions. They greeted Lin He'er one by one and ran to the front yard with smiles.

Sorry, Brother Wen, I forgot you had a day off today!

Lin He'er gave Wen Yuning an apologetic smile.

Wen Yuning stepped forward and took his wife's hand, and the two went back to their room.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I asked Granny Li to bring the food to the room."

Has Brother Wen eaten yet?

No, I was thinking of waiting for you to come along.

Alright, let's eat. Lin He'er has been running around all day and is really hungry.

The two sat facing each other and began to eat.

The meal was eaten quickly, probably because both of them were very hungry, and they didn't say much at the table.

After the meal, the two took a walk together in the yard to aid digestion.

Brother Wen, I bought these beggar children without consulting you. Will you be angry?

Lin He'er cautiously asked the person beside her.

He'er, don't worry about these things. I'm not a stingy person. Our family's business was all earned by you. You don't need to discuss buying servants with me. Just do what you think is right.

I have always supported you!

Wen Yuning looked at his wife beside him, who was holding his hand and talking to him somewhat guiltily. He couldn't help but find his wife rather adorable.

They've already acted first and informed me later, and now they're pretending to be pitiful in front of me!

I knew you were magnanimous, Brother Wen! Haha!

When Lin He'er bought the little beggar, she knew that Wen Yuning wouldn't stop her. They had lived together for a long time, and she knew what kind of person he was.

Brother Wen, the shop got a big job, I haven't told you yet!

I understand, I just heard it from Granny Li!

We should be somewhat careful about things that involve the military.

Have you ever heard of the Marquis of Dingxi?

Lin He'er felt that the Marquis of Dingxi should be a decent person. Judging from the excited expression on Xu Zhiyuan's face when he described the Marquis of Dingxi that day, he seemed to be a good person.

The Marquis of Dingxi had heard of this; besides studying the classics, the students of the county school would also discuss court policies and border affairs in their spare time.

However, it was mostly the teacher who told them, and he also mentioned the Marquis of Dingxi in those stories.

In the words of Confucius, the Marquis of Dingxi was brave in battle, strict in disciplining his troops, and treated everyone in the army, from generals to soldiers, equally. He was a rare and excellent general.

Lin He'er didn't expect that the Marquis of Dingxi was highly regarded by scholars, since scholars have always looked down on military generals!

Marquis of Dingxi was different; he was a scholar-general who could both read military books and ride a warhorse. Therefore, he was highly regarded by scholars.

Wow, he's got both literary and martial skills! No wonder he's so highly regarded!

Yes, you could say that. Wen Yuning agreed with Lin He'er's summary!

I only heard that his fate was full of misfortune. When he was young, his family suffered a sudden change due to the invasion of foreign enemies, and his family members also met with misfortune and were displaced.

The Marquis of Dingxi joined the army at a young age, partly to avenge his family!

Sigh, yet another sad story!

Okay, let's not talk about other people's business. You've been busy all day, you must be tired. Go wash up and go to bed to rest!

"Alright, alright." Lin He'er was still somewhat immersed in the story of the Marquis of Dingxi and couldn't quite pull herself out of it.
