Chapter 105 Tieguai Li's Granddaughter
Nanshu City, west of the city.

Guerrilla General's Mansion

Li Hezhu frowned, and was flicking through the ledger in her hand.

The eldest maid, Wutong, came in and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Miss, the nurse in the front yard reported that Mr. Zhang from the county guard's family had brought a gift again. He also said...and said..."

Li Hezhu looked up and said calmly: "What else did he say?"

Wutong put on a bitter face: "He also said that no one would beg for a lost father and eldest daughter. The girl is already in her twenties, and she probably won't be able to get married in this life. It's better..."

Snapped!
Li Hezhu put down the brush in his hand heavily.

Wu Tong was taken aback, "Girl, don't be angry. The bastard bastard can't spit out ivory, so this servant will drive him away."

Li Hezhu sneered, "Notify the uncles in the nursing homes that this delusional waste will dare to approach our general's mansion for half a step in the future, and just break his legs and throw it out."

Most of the nursing homes of the Li family are retired wounded soldiers.Maybe nothing else can be done, and it is still easy to teach those local dudes who dare to speak wild words.

"The son of the county guard's mansion can talk nonsense? Is there no one in the guerrilla general's mansion?"

Indus nodded quickly.

Although she is just a maid, she also knows the reason why a normal girl would rather be lonely than be a concubine.

What's more, their master is a girl from the General's Mansion.Some people actually want to take her as a concubine, and they are not afraid that the old general will come back and kill everyone.

"Is there anything else?" Li Hezhu saw that the maid did not leave.

"Yes." Indus handed over some ledgers again, "This year's autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the crops and new grains of the villages have already been delivered. The stewards of the villages near and far are waiting for your reply, Miss."

"We in Guangxin County can crop three times a year. If we want to plant the third season of rice, the girl has to arrange seeds quickly."

Li Hezhu nodded: "I'll check right away. You first ask the housekeeper to arrange the housekeepers to stay. I will reply to them within two days."

Wutong moved his mouth, still wanting to persuade him to say something, but sighed again, and walked out the door silently.

Not long after, she barged in happily again.

"Big girl, big girl, there's news from the front yard. Three soldiers from the Starfall Legion have come to visit. One of them is Ren Ning."

Ren Ning?

Li Hezhu glanced at her excited servant girl in astonishment.

She hesitated, "The one my grandfather mentioned?"

"That's right." Indus nodded madly, "It's exactly Ren Ning of the Starfall Legion that the old general has been mentioning. Praise him for being young and powerful, and he has a bright future."

"That's all right now. He's finally willing to come to the door. Maybe he's here to ask you, Miss..."

cough!
Li Hezhu's heart was beating wildly, and before Wutong could finish speaking, he quickly asked, "Did they come here empty-handed?"

Wutong giggled, knowing what his girl wanted to ask.

"It definitely didn't come empty-handed. It seems to have brought something. Maybe it's two wild geese."

Bringing the hired geese to the door, this means asking for marriage.

"Come here!" Wutong called to the other maidservants, "Hurry up and give the girl a good grooming."

Li Hezhu calmed down instead, she raised the ledger in her hand: "What to dress up, I still need to read the ledger to reply to the stewards of the villages."

"My dear girl, why are you still looking at the ledger at this time?" Indus took the ledger away from Li Hezhu's hands without any reason, "Girl, you are the master, so what if the little steward waits a day or two longer. Anyone who dares to chew their tongues will have to withdraw at worst."

Front yard, main hall.

Xiao Gang looked at the decoration in the hall, with a strange face, "Brother Ren, didn't you say that you came to the south for the first time? How come you still know the people here in Nanshu City?"

Lei Er chuckled, "Actually, we only know a mausoleum veteran named Tieguai Li in Yanzhen Fortress. I really didn't expect him to be a guerrilla general before."

"Do you need to think about it?" Ren Ning smiled and shook his head: "Didn't he always say that if he fell down, he could lie in the red coffin? Those who can lie in the red coffin and return home are naturally at the general level."

The butler who was waiting at the side was startled when he heard the word "coffin", and hurried forward to ask questions.

"Three sons, I don't know how my old general is doing now?"

Ren Ning smiled, "Don't worry about the housekeeper."

"Tie...Old General Li, when I saw him a few months ago, he was strong and walking like flying, he was humorous, and he often talked and laughed with me and other juniors."

"Even when we sent the spirit back to his hometown, he even came out to see him off. Let me remember to come and visit the mansion if I have time."

He looked around, "I don't know the master of the house?"

The butler breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master, the old general has two sons. Among them, the elder master died in the Yanzhen Fortress five years ago, and the second master died in Zhennanguan three years ago."

"Now the descendants of the family are only a young master and a young lady who has not left the cabinet. The young master is guarding the border at Zhennan Pass. As for the young lady, she should be here soon."

These things can be found out as long as you walk around in Nanshu city.In addition, Ren Ning and the others were strongly promoted by Tieguai Li.The butler didn't hide it.

Not out of the court...

Lei Er winked at Ren Ning.

Xiao Gang next to him was puzzled.

After a long while, Li Hezhu, who was dressed properly, arrived late.

Guangxin County is located on the border, and the custom of female relatives not seeing outsiders is not as strict as Gaomen, the imperial capital.Li Hezhu also sat a little further away in a daze, without wearing a veil or simply moving a screen to block everyone's sight.

Ren Ning and the three subconsciously glanced at each other.

Tieguai Li was not lying, she was indeed a beautiful girl.

Moreover, the climate in Guangxin County is hot and the sun is scorching. Most of the men, women, and children are tanned as black as charcoal.

The Li Hezhu in front of her is a girl from the General's Mansion after all, she doesn't need to work around in the sun, her skin is fair and delicate, which is in line with the aesthetics of people in the imperial capital.

"You three, please sit down." Li Hezhu introduced herself generously, her eyes swept across the faces of the three of Ren Ning with reserved eyes.

"Ren Ning, Lei Er, and Xiao Gang have met Miss Li." The three of them cupped their hands.

Wutong, who was standing on the side, was refreshed, and quickly and secretly looked at Ren Ning.

Seeing that he was tall and handsome, he was immediately very satisfied.

The servant girl rolled her eyes and landed on the table next to the three of them.

It's a pity that the gift brought by the three of Ren Ning was huge, but they didn't move at all, and it didn't look like a living thing.

Not live geese, could it be wooden geese?

Li Hezhu was also pondering this question.

Ren Ning is a few years younger than her, and looks very pleasing to the eye.If there were no live geese, it would be acceptable for wooden geese to hire her.

Ren Ningke didn't know what the older leftover woman was thinking, so he casually chatted with her about Tieguai Li.

Li Hezhu listened attentively.

From time to time, she would receive letters from Yanzhen Fortress, but she was afraid that her grandfather would only report good news but not bad news.At this time, Ren Ning and Lei Er personally said that Tieguai Li was not only in good health but also in good spirits.Can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After talking about it, the age difference between the few people was not too big, and they got close to each other immediately.

Knowing that Ren Ning and the others were going to wait for the arrival of the Xingluo Army in Nanshu City, Li Hezhu quickly asked the housekeeper to arrange for them to stay in the guest courtyard.

As a result, until the butler led the three of them to the guest courtyard, the legendary hired goose Ren Ning did not come out.

Li Hezhu walked towards the back house with a complicated heart.

Wutong comforted: "Girl, maybe you just entered the door and you are not familiar with the place. Mr. Ren is not ashamed to propose marriage."

"But don't they want to stay for a few days? Maybe they will take the initiative to mention it to you tomorrow."
