On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 237 Recruitment
"So many carriages and horses in our yard are too eye-catching." Mrs. Liu asked her father and daughter, "I think it would be good to keep two mule carriages and sell the rest?"

Xiao Xiao didn't like driving carts or feeding horses and mules. He wished he could agree with both hands and feet: "Mom is right, there are too many mules and horses, and there is no way to dry clothes in the yard."

Xiao Lian was very reluctant to give up: "Can I have sex later?"

"Then I'll let you feed me from now on." Xiao Xiao sighed: "It's winter now, but when the weather warms up, the yard will be full of mule and horse manure, and even your body will be contaminated with those smells."

"Stop talking." Xiao Lian didn't dare to think about the scene she was talking about, and said quickly: "Sold, everything is sold. Now Dalang has to follow Mr. Li. We only need to keep a mule cart at home."

There is no man who doesn't like carriages and horses. Boss Xiao touched his chin with regret: "Speaking of which, we are still too young."

Alas, he felt distressed again when he thought of Mr. Jiang's free offer of a second entrance to the courtyard, which he had rejected.

Otherwise, if you keep horses and mules in the front yard, and put a few carriages there, it won't be crowded at all.

He also knows that the most important thing is that San'er is willing.

So he raised his eyebrows at Xiao Xiao: "Didn't you say before that you were going to Mingzhou to get some seafood to sell?"

"There must be more cars for this trip, right? It's more convenient to use our own cars, right?"

Xiao Xiao thought about it and said to him: "Dad, go and rent a yard to raise mules and horses."

Seeing that he was still unwilling, she used her trump card: "Mother loves to be clean. If she smells the smell of mules, she won't be able to eat or sleep well."

"Mom, I want to open the door and see the flowers and grass, instead of opening the door and see the mules running around the yard."

Mrs. Liu couldn't laugh or cry. She wanted to praise her daughter for her skill in shifting blame, but she still acquiesced.

She is quite delicate this time and will feel nauseated when she sees certain things.

If the family didn't have the conditions, she would have no objection to feeding a few more pigs, let alone mules and horses.

But now that her family can be regarded as a little rich, she also wants to live a more comfortable life.

Boss Xiao stood up immediately: "Okay, I'll go look for a suitable house nearby."

Xiao Xiao said again: "Dad, we are now at peace. Please be careful when you go out."

Boss Xiao patted his waist: "Don't worry, I carry a dagger with me?"

They killed so many rebels and only found four daggers. Xiao Xiao had them before, but this time they took advantage of Dalangerlang, Xiao Boss and Xiao Lian.

Today's good daggers are more refined than swords, sharper, and easy to carry. They are indeed a must-have when going out.

Mrs. Liu actually said: "Then you come back early, and we will start cooking now."

They left early and didn't delay much on the way. It wasn't even past midnight yet (ten o'clock in the morning).

Boss Xiao responded and strode away.

Mrs. Liu and her daughters packed their things first. In the carriage, there were fresh cabbage and radishes sent by the neighbors, as well as some lotus roots, eggs and duck eggs, and some dried vegetables.

They also brought back the cured meat, but they can’t eat it yet.

There was also some meat and bones with a little salt, and pig offal.

While Xiao Lian was cleaning up the pigs, she looked at Xiao Xiao and smiled: "As for that? I asked you to do some work, but you are so pretentious."

Xiao Xiao was miserable and couldn't tell.

Not only is her hearing and vision so sharp that she is almost perverted, her sense of smell is also developing in a weird direction.

She even doubted that her nose could compete with that of a dog.

But no one would believe it.

Now her grandmother, second aunt, and the Lin sisters are all cleaning up the restaurant, so Xiao Xiao can't be lazy. However, if the pig offal is cooked well, it is delicious, but when it is cleaned, it can also make people doubt their life.

So Xiao Xiao stuffed a soft cloth into her nose to block out most of the smell.

Now when she heard Xiao Lian laughing at herself, she didn't even raise her head: "If you laugh again, I will give up."

Xiao Lian was really afraid that her sister would take the opportunity to leave, so she didn't dare to talk about her anymore. She could only complain to Xiao Xiu: "Sister, you see that the little sister is getting more and more arrogant now. Let's work together to deal with her."

She tried several times before she was sure that the younger sister was now better than her. If the two of them started fighting, she would be the loser.

But if it were two against one, she felt that she would definitely not lose.

Xiao Xiu naturally changed the subject: "It's not good to come to the city at all. We want to hunt, and it's not easy to practice archery. It's not as comfortable as in the countryside."

"That's not necessarily the case." Xiao Lian heard a lot about the wealthy families from Mrs. Chen and the old lady of the Jiang family: "Some adults' homes are quite spacious, and they have a martial arts training ground where they can practice archery."

"There are also some families who have many opera singers at home. If you want to listen to the opera, you can listen to the opera just by asking."

"Some people keep many animals in captivity at home, saying they are exotic animals..."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't hide her longing: "If I have a lot of money in the future, then I will also buy a big house, practice archery in the martial arts field in the morning, and go to the yard to listen to the opera in the afternoon!"

"Yes, I have ideas and pursuits." After Xiao Xiao finished boasting, he looked up at the sky: "The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, you are starting to dream!"

"Damn girl!" Xiao Lian couldn't wait to stare at her: "Don't think I'm afraid of you. It was me, the older sister, who let you..."

Xiao Xiu felt a little uncomfortable listening to her sisters bickering.

After he gets married, he will leave home and go to a strange home.

From now on, others will call me 'Ms. Jiang' and no longer call me Xiao Xiu, and no one will call me eldest girl or Miss Xiao.

At this moment, she was very reluctant to give up. It would be great if she didn't have to get married.

When you get married, you are the water thrown out by your parents' family.

But in a strange husband's family, she is just an outsider.

By the time they prepared lunch, Old Man Xiao and the others happened to be back.

Xiao Sanlang and Lin Long gathered around Xiao Xiao, telling each other the gossip they had heard.

"Sister, I heard that those shops were not kicked in by rebels, but many were robbed by ordinary people in the dark."

"I heard that too. I also heard that many of us died."

"Are there still injured soldiers lying in the hospital now?"

"I also heard that there is going to be a conscription?"

Xiao Xiao heard this and asked Sanlang: "Where did you hear this?"

"I heard it when I went to Huichun Hall."

Xiao Sanlang and Lin Long were young, so Old Man Xiao didn't let them pack their things, so he sent them to Huichun Hall to have a look.

Jiang Yu, who was busy running around, saw this cheap brother-in-law, and of course he would not neglect him. He greeted them with snacks and tea.

Most of the injured there were officers and soldiers. Seeing that the young master of Huichun Hall was so polite to Xiao Sanlang, they regarded him as one of their own and did not avoid talking to him.

He said in an old-fashioned way: "This time, my uncle and my father have to go home separately again."

"Otherwise, if there are two brothers at home, one of them will have to go."

"I think it's good to be a soldier. When I grow up, I want to be a soldier. That way I can accumulate military merit and become a general."
