Chapter 177 Hunter Chen's Visit
In order to prevent anyone from using Shen Wanning's identity to make trouble in the future, Lin Jingyou first used the matter of her adopted daughter to shut everyone up.
People in the countryside don’t care too much about this kind of thing, but if you go to the capital, it’s inevitable that people will talk about Shen Wanning’s identity.
As for engagement, the two parties can first exchange engagement letters and then choose an auspicious day to set the wedding date.
After hearing Lin Jingyou's explanation, everyone reacted, and the village head took the lead and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, today is really a triple blessing!"
"Yes, Aunt Zhang, you are so lucky. You used to have to worry about your third son and Wan Ning's marriage, but now you don't have to worry about anything."
"I was saying that I mentioned introducing someone to Wan Ning so many times, but you always declined. It turns out you reserved it for your third child!"
"Starting a family and building a career, your third child hasn't delayed anything, haha!"
Aunt Zhang and Lin Dashan greeted the guests together, and no matter who they were, they all had smiles on their faces.
Only Lin Hu walked up to Shen Wanning and Lin Jingyou, looked at Shen Wanning, then at Lin Jingyou, biting his index finger and asked, "So, should I call you Auntie from now on? Or Third Auntie?"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Jingyou and asked, "Should I call you Third Uncle? Or Uncle?"
Lin Jingcheng laughed heartily, took a step forward, patted his head and said, "You little brat, I was wondering what you were looking at! You've been thinking about this problem for a long time!"
Lin Jingyou smiled and replied, "Wait until your aunt and I are married, then you can ask me this question again. Now that we're only engaged, we should still call each other by our original names to avoid being laughed at."
"Okay, Uncle San, I'll remember it." Lin Hu nodded.
"The meal is ready, the meal is ready, everyone please find a place to sit, the food is about to be served~"
Xu called out from the kitchen, and everyone quickly found their seats and sat down.
Pork head, lamb stewed with radish, lean meat soup, cabbage and pork slices, braised pork trotters, braised fish... one dish after another was served.
Lin Dashan drank a lot of wine at the table, which was rare. Lin Jingyou and Lin Jingcheng used tea instead of wine and toasted every table, including those of the refugees.
The guests felt right at home at the banquet, and Aunt Zhang packed up any leftover food for them to take away. The refugees didn't hesitate, and the men helped clear the tables and chairs and pack up the food.
The woman helped in the kitchen, washing dishes, sweeping the floor, etc. She was busy until almost nine o'clock in the evening before she finished cleaning the yard.
As we were busy all day, we went to bed early that day.
In the morning, Shen Wanning had just been drinking porridge in the house when she saw Chen the Hunter coming.
Mrs. Wen was playing with her child in the yard when she saw Hunter Chen. "Uncle Chen, why are you here today? Please come in."
Hunter Chen walked in and asked, "I'm here to look for Wan Ning today. Is she home?"
"I'm here. I didn't go to the county town today. I'm having breakfast in the main room! Please sit for a while, I'll go call her." As he said that, he carried Lin Hai into the main room.
Shen Wanning had heard their conversation a long time ago. She drank the last mouthful of porridge, put the bowl in the kitchen and came out.
"Uncle Chen, are you looking for me?" Shen Wanning asked, sitting opposite Chen the Hunter.
Hunter Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Wan Ning, I just want to ask, are you still short of people for the work in the county? Can I go with you to the county to work?"
Shen Wanning was surprised and asked, "Uncle Chen has always been used to hunting freely, so why would he want to go to the county town to work?"
Hunter Chen sighed, "Ah, ever since Miss Moon passed away, I've been feeling miserable all day long. Plus, the villagers haven't said anything to my face, but they've been making up stories about me behind my back. I know it. Rather than living like this, I'd rather go to the county town."
Shen Wanning nodded. "Alright, if Uncle Chen goes, I'll find him a job. The house we bought in the county town is big enough for him to stay."
"Thank you very much, Wan Ning. I have some savings after so many years. It doesn't matter how much money it is. I just want to live in a different place. Here, alas..." Hunter Chen sighed, regretting that he didn't listen to them and take in Lin Yueliang, which led to some of the things that happened later.
"It just so happens that our third brother is going to study in academy in the future, and we plan to let him live at home. How about Uncle Chen learn to drive a horse-drawn carriage and take our third brother to and from school every day?" Shen Wanning asked in a negotiating tone.
In fact, in addition to driving the carriage to send Lin Jingyou, she was thinking about Chen the Hunter’s hunting skills. At least he was good at archery. If Lin Jingyou was in danger, Chen the Hunter could also help protect him.
"Sure! Although I've never tried it before, I've always been interested in driving a horse-drawn carriage. This is a good opportunity to learn it." Hunter Chen agreed readily.
Shen Wanning immediately called Lin Jingce to help teach Chen the carriage. Lin Jingyou, curious, also followed suit.
Fortunately, this was not difficult and they learned it in less than half an hour.
Everything in Daqing Village was developing according to plan. However, things were not so easy for the governor Huang Wei in Fuzhou City.
He shouted that there was an assassin plotting an assassination, forcing the prefect to close the city gates and search for the assassin from house to house, causing panic among the people.
However, after searching for several days, the assassin was not found, and Huang Wei was furious in the study.
Hongxiu held the little novice monk and stood at the bottom of the hall, looking at the governor who was furious. Neither of them dared to breathe, let alone look up at the governor.
The governor shoved the documents on the table to the ground. "You are such a loser! I left the account book at the brothel because I trusted you. How dare you hide it from me and leave it at Putuo Temple? Who gave you the guts?"
Hongxiu fell to her knees in fear, "Slave, slave, I just thought Putuo Temple was safer. Those people would never think of the temple no matter how much they thought about it. Master often comes to Juhonglou, and sooner or later they will find out about the relationship between Master and slave."
"Since you want to put the account book in the temple, you should hide it well. Who told you to tell this little monk where to hide the account book? You are a mute and you don't know anything!" Huang Wei became even angrier and asked, pointing at the little monk.
"He is not mute, he is just scared and dares not speak. I will interrogate him thoroughly when I get back." Hongxiu was afraid that Huang Wei would hurt the little monk, so she dragged the little monk to kneel beside her.
"Now the account book is lost, and we don't even know who stole it! Killing both of you won't be enough to appease my anger!" Huang Wei became angrier and angrier, and he slammed the small coffee table hard, and the coffee table immediately broke into several pieces, scaring the little monk again.
The little monk suddenly said, "Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong."
"What Zhongshu? Shut up! I get annoyed just hearing that little monk talk. If it weren't for the fact that you've served me for so many years and done so much for me, I would never let you two go!"
