Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 51 The mist in the eyes

Li Jing was taken aback, was this little maid implying something?

Suddenly remembered Shen Ying's light steps just now, and immediately understood the meaning of the little girl's eyes.

Shen Ying must not have really bound her feet.

In ancient times, a girl from a wealthy family like the Shen family would arrange a servant girl of similar age to serve her since she was a child.

The maid and the master are usually very close, because they all know that they will live together in this life.

Even if the master gets married, this maid will marry her as a dowry maid, which is commonly known as dowry maid, also known as Tongfang maid.

Maids do not know how to bind their feet because they have to serve the lady and do many other things.

This maid grew up with Shen Ying, so she must be very aware of the pain of Shen Ying's foot binding, and Shen Ying would be very envious of her maid's not having to bind her feet.

Seeing the cleverness of this little maid, Li Jing concluded that she must have encouraged Shen Ying to remove the foot wraps when no one was watching, and wrap them up when someone was watching.

Therefore, Shen Ying's feet didn't suffer too much damage, so she could walk lightly just after removing the foot wraps.

Li Jing was good at analysis, and he could basically conclude what happened to Shen Ying with just a suggestive look from the little maid.

Seeing the cute and cute little maid, Li Jing's heart suddenly arose, he smiled at her, and suddenly put the mask on his face.

Seeing Li Jing smiling at her, the little servant girl was very happy, but when she saw a terrifying mask appearing on Li Jing's face, she screamed in fright.

"Hahaha!" Seeing the little girl's face turn pale with fright, Li Jing burst into laughter, then removed the mask, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just kidding you."

Hearing Li Jingrou's comforting voice, the little girl's expression gradually returned to normal, and suddenly she blushed, and boldly said in a soft voice: "It's a pity that you are still the head of the family, and you actually scare the slaves."

Li Jing was in a very good mood at this time, and he continued to laugh and said, "Hehe, if you don't want to be a servant, I'll tell your master right away and ask him to give you a sum of money to let you go home."

The maid shook her head and said sadly: "I don't know where my home is. The Shen family is my home, and the young lady is my closest relative."

Li Jingwen listened to Mo Ran, and after a while, he slowly said: "You treat Miss as a relative, and she would not treat you as an outsider even if you think about it, I hope you will always be as close as sisters in the future."

After speaking, Li Jing turned his gaze to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying could hear Li Jing talking to her maid clearly, and she was very envious that her maid could talk to Li Jing, and she was even more envious of Li Jing actually making her maid happy.

After hearing Li Jing's words, Shen Ying was stunned: "Is he reminding me of something?"

Seeing Li Jing's eyes looking at her, Shen Ying's face turned slightly red, her eyelids drooped hurriedly, and she nodded slightly at the same time.

If it wasn't for Li Jing looking at her, she would hardly notice her subtle movements.

With Shen Ying's affirmation, Li Jing also nodded slightly, and then gave a deep salute to Mrs. Shen: "Auntie, take care all the way."

After finishing speaking, Li Jing waved his hand, turned around and strode away.

Looking at Li Jingyuan's back, a mist suddenly appeared in Shen Ying's clear eyes.

Red Mountain Ridge Training Ground.

Li Jing looked at the bandits standing in front of him with a serious face.

There were 60 bandits in total, and they were six teams composed of old brothers from Jinniuling and defected officers and soldiers.

They are Li Jing's most trusted subordinates, and of course they are also the most elite direct troops in Li Jing's hands.

Just now, Li Jingcai told everyone about his attack plan.

After talking about his action plan, Li Jing ordered everyone to throw away the heavy weapons such as shields and guns, leaving only knives, bows and arrows.

Li Jingshen knew that if he wanted to force the officers and soldiers to retreat this time, they had to destroy the supplies of the officers and soldiers as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, in order to avoid casualties among his subordinates, it is necessary to act as quickly as possible.

You must know that it is winter now, and everyone is wearing thick cotton padded clothes, which will affect everyone's speed, and the bulky things like shields and guns will seriously hinder their actions.

Watching everyone take off their shields, throw away their spears, and throw away those burdens that might interfere with their actions, Li Jing nodded slightly. These people have fully understood what he meant.

After these people cleared up and stood still again, Li Jing suddenly shouted: "Brothers! Are you all ready?"

"It's ready! Please order from the master!" Liu Er yelled, scratching his neck.

The bandits also shouted, "Get ready!"

Li Jingjing nodded, looked up at the sky, waved his hand violently, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

"Yes!" The gangsters responded.

Immediately, the bandits divided into small teams and walked down the mountain under the leadership of Li Jing.

Seeing these people walking in silence, no one talking casually, Li Jingjing nodded, then shook his head again.

It seems that the training of the group under him is a bit dull.

During normal training, Li Jing asked his subordinates not to speak casually, but when it came time to fight, it would be beneficial to talk before the battle.

You know, when fighting, most soldiers are very nervous, especially those recruits.Therefore, joking and talking appropriately before the battle can relax the tension.

The matter of letting the soldiers relax should actually be done by the captains of each team. I don't think these people don't understand this at all. At this time, they still do it completely according to Li Jing's requirements. This is completely ignorant of flexibility.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing walked beside Liu Erlian, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a slight smile, "Erlian, how are you doing? Are you afraid of going to war with officers and soldiers this time?"

"I'm afraid, I'll die at worst!" Liu Er said in a dazed voice.

Li Jing shook his head, feeling a little amused in his heart, knowing that he might have chosen the wrong person by choosing to talk to Liu Erleng.

Li Jing turned his head and said to Chen Erhu who was following him, "Erhu, are you afraid?"

"Hey, follow Big Brother, I'm not afraid of anything!" Chen Erhu said with a grin.

Li Jing smiled, pointed at Chen Erhu, but didn't say anything.

Li Jing talked to Liu Erleng and Chen Erhu mainly to ease their nervousness.

After all, it was the first time that he fought against officers and soldiers head-on, and Li Jing was very worried that his subordinates would make some wrong moves because of fear and nervousness.That would easily destroy Li Jing's battle plan.

From the looks of it right now, Liu Erleng and Chen Erhu really didn't feel any nervousness.

Li Jing looked at the other people again, and the expressions of these people also looked very stable, exactly the same as in the previous training.

Li Jingjing nodded, it seems that his hard work in the past six months has not been in vain.

But Li Jing also knew that these were all temporary, and when they really fought against the officers and soldiers, these people would definitely be nervous.

The old brothers from Jinniuling were better. They were originally bandits. They had contact with the officers and soldiers a few times, and those who were cast by the officers and soldiers might be worse.Because once they fight with officers and soldiers, it means that they officially become bandits.

In this case, it is definitely impossible to say that there is no pressure.

After thinking about it, Li Jing smiled at Liu Erlian: "Erlian, how much money have you saved now? I guess marrying a woman should be enough."

Liu Erleng said before that he would marry a woman after a few years when he had saved enough money, and Li Jing even made fun of him for this.

Now Li Jing is making fun of Liu Er's idiot with this, in order to make everyone happy.

"Hey, I don't know how much I have saved. Apart from the big brother's salary, there are occasional rewards. I don't think there are hundreds of 80 taels, but there are still five or 60 taels." Liu Er scratched his head and laughed.

"I said I was stupefied. After so long, I still don't know how to count? The difference between one hundred and eighty taels is almost double that of fifty or sixty taels. I can't even calculate this account?" Li Jing pointed at Liu Erdao and smiled.

After a while, Li Jing smiled and said: "Hehe, let me do the math for you! Well, you used to be paid three taels of silver per month, but you became the team leader three months ago, which added one tael of silver. The salary is 21 taels. I rewarded you with 41 taels of silver for one meritorious service. I rewarded you twice with five taels of silver each time for good training. I don’t even have a chance to go to the brothel to drink wine, so I think I’ve already saved it up. It’s more than 40 taels of silver, enough to marry a woman. How about it? Is there a girl you like? I’ll find someone to help you with it.”

"Hey, 40 taels of silver? That's a lot!" Liu Er scratched his head in a daze and laughed.

After finishing speaking, Liu Er scratched his head again in a daze, looked at Li Jinghan and said with a smile: "Hey, I fell in love with the second daughter of Ma's family, that girl is strong and good at work, but I don't know if Ma Will you promise me your daughter?"

Hearing Liu Er's stupid say that he was looking for Lao Ma's second daughter, Li Jing suddenly laughed.

The old horse that Liu Erlian said was from Xiaomazhuang, and he seemed to have a little relationship with Ma Wu.

Lao Ma's second daughter, Li Jing, met once, but I don't remember what Li Jing's name is, it seems to be Hong or Feng'er, but I have some impressions of this girl Li Jing.

Because this girl is so strong that she can be described as big and round. If it weren't for this, Li Jing wouldn't have any impression at all.

"Have you taken a fancy to Lao Ma's daughter? This is easy to handle! He and Ma Wu seem to be relatives, right? Next time Ma Wu comes back, I'll mention it to him and ask him to propose marriage for you." Li Jing laughed.

"Hahaha, then I would like to thank you big brother!" Liu Er was stunned and said with a big grin when he heard Li Jing promised to help.

"You don't need to thank me, you have to ask Fifth Brother to help you speak well about this matter." Li Jing laughed.

"That's fine! I'll treat Fifth Brother to drink later, and ask him to say something nice to me!" Liu Er, the fool, nodded hastily.

Li Jingwen was dumbfounded when he heard this.

It's useless to co-author these words, so it's nothing to do with me?Why don't you invite yourself to drink?Is it too fast to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

Shaking his head, Li Jing turned his head to look at the crowd, and said with a smile: "Brothers who are not married, talk about it. If there is a girl you like, I will help you manage it."

Li Jing and Liu Erleng spoke loudly, and everyone could hear them clearly. When Li Jing was helping Liu Erleng settle the accounts, each of them was calculating how much money they had received.
