After a long silence, one of Zhao Chengan's lieutenants suppressed his blush and asked: "Marquis of Zhennan, do you still want to recruit people to farm the land? The general will have many relatives in the end."

"People are still needed. As for the Marquis of Zhennan, you better stop shouting. We are prisoners now. Your shouting like this makes us and my wife think it is ironic.

You can all introduce relatives and friends to us, and the introduction fee is one hundred catties of polished rice per person, because we have no money, only various grains."

Jiang Xinyan said sincerely, "There is no limit to male or female, no age limit. Don't be cunning and cunning. Those with bad character will cause trouble for you."

The living room was lively again. Everyone was flattering Chu Lixuan and his wife.

It seems that they all want to take off their armor and follow Chu Lixuan to farm. This makes Jiang Xinyan a little worried. Who will protect the family and the country in the future!

"My wife has a suggestion for you. Instead of following us as convicts, your relatives and friends should farm with General Zhao."

"Is what Mrs. Chu said true? Can I take them to farm?" Zhao Chengan asked excitedly.

He was also worried because there was no food to eat, the morale of the army was disturbed, and the treasury was empty, and the emperor had no choice.

They have guarded the border for decades, and this responsibility has been deeply ingrained in their bones. They would not want to leave even if they starve to death, but if they have the opportunity to not starve to death, they naturally do not want to let it go.

"Sure! When we came here, we saw that the nearby villages were deserted and no one was planting crops.

General Zhao can arrange for soldiers who are injured and cannot go to the battlefield to farm, or you can ask your relatives and friends to farm.

It is a pity that such large fertile farmland has been abandoned, and the land in the villages is much more fertile than the barren mountains.

As a couple, if we hadn't been prisoners, we would have wanted to run around here and farm.

I came to the human world and was already so bright. Although I was exiled by the emperor, I entered the agricultural bank and worked in the fields day and night. I only had a few taels of silver, but I couldn't eat all the food."

"..." Zhao Chengan and the lieutenants looked at Jiang Xinyan with disbelief.

Chu Lixuan remained silent the whole time, watching his wife change the limerick, and it still rhymed.

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to her mouth, "Come on, Xinxin, drink some water. You must be thirsty after talking so much."

Later military advisors and lieutenants: "..." They always thought that Zhennanhou was mute because it was said that he was disabled.

He was missing neither arms nor legs. After he came in, even when their general asked him, he didn't say anything. Several people thought that the Marquis of Zhennan was missing his tongue.

Their voices are so beautiful! They are as deep and mellow as a violin. They have never heard such a beautiful voice in their lives.

"General, Madam, please go to the dining room with your guests for dinner." A young boy came over to Zhao Chengan to ask for instructions.

"Brother Chu, let's go to the dining room to eat." Zhao Chengan made an invitation gesture. The lieutenants may often eat in the general's mansion.

I followed him to have dinner together, mainly because they were getting excited and wanted to continue listening.

There are three tables in the dining room, two tables are placed together, and the other table is placed a little behind, separated by a curtain.

Four dishes were placed on the table, which was probably their best dish, a large bowl of potato stew, a portion of fried chicken, a portion of scrambled eggs and a pumpkin.

The lieutenants quickly sat down at a table, and Zhao Chengan invited Chu Lixuan, his sons, and two generals to sit at the same table.

Zhao Chengan's wife, two aunts and their four daughters sat together, leaving just one seat for Jiang Xinyan.

Chu Lixuan didn't want to be separated from Jiang Xinyan, but seeing that there were only four dishes, he didn't plan to eat.

Anyway, there were hot meals and dishes in their space, and he thought he could eat them with his wife later when he went to bed.

He let go of Jiang Xinyan's hand, walked her to the seat, and helped her pull out the chair. After she sat down, he and Zhao Chengan took their seats together.

Zhao Chengan's four daughters, two legitimate daughters and two concubines, are all about fourteen to sixteen years old.

When they saw Chu Lixuan, who was as beautiful as an immortal, the eyes of the two concubines were glued to him, while the concubine was a little more reserved.

Chu Lixuan's eyes were all on Jiang Xinyan, so he wasn't as harsh as usual, and he didn't show off to the ladies.

After Jiang Xinyan sat down, she naturally wanted to chat with the general's wife, "Jiang Xinyan has met the lady and several ladies."

"Mrs. Chu's beauty is so beautiful that she matches Mr. Chu very well." The general's wife politely complimented her.

She just heard from her husband that Brother Chu and his wife were his benefactors. If they were to stay in the mansion for two days, the general's wife would naturally have to arrange meals and guest rooms.

She, her aunt, and the ladies all thought that Jiang Xinyan and his wife were distinguished guests from the capital.

He was particularly enthusiastic towards her and asked her about the current situation in the capital. Jiang Xinyan was stunned. She stared at her big watery eyes and said innocently.

"Madam is asking, I don't know either! We have been away from the capital for a long time. We are prisoners exiled to Youzhou by the emperor."

Let your eyes be glued to my mother-in-law’s body, my dear! I won’t scare you to death!

Sure enough, she heard, "Pah! Pah!" The sound of several ladies' chopsticks falling to the ground.

"You...you...ah...exile...criminal." A concubine looked at Jiang Xinyan in disbelief, her fingers trembling with anger.

"Yes! Our husband and wife are exiles." Jiang Xinyan nodded sincerely, picked up the chopsticks and picked up an egg.

She ate as if nothing had happened. She liked scrambled eggs the most. Unfortunately, the chickens in their castle had not laid eggs yet. There should be eggs to eat when they return this time.

Potato chicken stew soup doesn't look very tasty. It would be better if it were potato stew chicken.

But the scrambled eggs taste good, and the fried chicken with chili pepper is also good, so let’s eat these two dishes.

The general's wife did not dare to dislike her, the two aunts even more did not dare to dislike her, and the four young ladies disliked her so much.

"Mother, how dare this prisoner sit at the same table with you?" Zhao Qingqing, a sixteen-year-old concubine, asked the general's wife dissatisfied.

For the first time in her life, she fell in love with a man, and he turned out to be a criminal! This made her feel extremely embarrassed.

"Why is this child Qingqing talking? Please apologize to Madam Chu quickly. Madam Chu, please don't argue with a child." The general's wife said perfunctorily.

Jiang Xinyan: "..." I am only fifteen years old this year, and I am actually sixteen years old. Chu Lixuan insists that she is seventeen years old.

When they were introducing her just now, they didn't know whether they were talking about real age or false age. They just heard that Zhao Qingqing was Zhao Chengan's eldest daughter, who was sixteen years old.

Jiang Xinyan picked up a few eggs with chopsticks, then pulled up a chair and sat down to eat, Madam, I can't have trouble with scrambled eggs.

"The general's wife is serious. There is no need to apologize. I am a humble prisoner and should not sit with you ladies and ladies."

The general's wife looked at the empty plate of scrambled eggs: "..."
Chapter completed!
