Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1223: Is It Really That Easy to Make Silver in the Military Camp?

Then, Du Aya came.

She didn’t bring anything, coming empty-handed.

As soon as she arrived, she said, ”I heard that clothing would be provided, so I didn’t bring anything.”

An Jing and Ye Zhi both felt that this girl not only looked like a man, but also acted very manly.

Du Aya signed her name and received cloth armor and leather armor, then was asked to change into cloth armor in a tent, after which, a soldier took her to another tent set up for new recruits.

An Jing and Ye Zhi had already agreed, Ye Zhi would live with the new recruits for easier management, and thirteen people plus Ye Zhi made fourteen, so they arranged two tents for the new recruits, exactly seven people per tent.

Then, Yan Xiaohong came.

Yan Xiaohong seemed to be sunburnt from farming, her skin was very dark, she wore clothes full of patches, was skinny as a rail, clearly suffering from severe malnutrition.

As Yan Xiaohong received her cloth and leather armor, An Jing hesitated but still asked, ”Why do you want to join the army?”

Yan Xiaohong seemed surprised by An Jing’s question, shrank a little, then hesitantly yet honestly replied, ”My family is too poor, and joining the army pays two taels of Military Salary each month.”

An Jing momentarily fell silent.

Then, Ma Guihua came.

An Jing also asked Ma Guihua why she joined the army.

Ma Guihua said, ”Supporting my in-laws is too hard, joining the army pays two taels of Military Salary each month.”

An Jing: ”...” Everyone is here to earn silver... Is the army’s silver really that easy to make?

Then, Zhou Piaopiao came.

An Jing still posed the same question.

Zhou Piaopiao wasn’t there to earn silver; she said, ”My elder brother detests me, I don’t want to stay at home and don’t know where else to go, so I joined the army.”

An Jing: ...Alright then.

Then, Shi Shi came.

An Jing remembered that this person was the daughter of an escort, who grew up following her father on his missions and was very familiar with various parts of Xiyun.

Shi Shi was quite beautiful indeed, with bright eyes and white teeth.

Seeing that Shi Shi was holding a sword, An Jing said, ”Since you’ve been escorting with your father since childhood, you must be quite skilled, right?”

Shi Shi replied, ”Quite alright. In our escort agency, only my dad can defeat me; I can beat everyone else.”

”Then why did you join the army?”

”Joining the army is naturally for serving the country.”

An Jing nodded, yet said nothing more.

Later, Liu Feifei came.

Sent personally by the Marquis of Boyang.

Lastly, and also just before the noonday, Su Chengyuan arrived.

Su Chengyuan didn’t come alone; she brought many people and many things with her.

The things, she said, were all for her use.

The people, she said, were all attendants for her.

Listening to this, An Jing and Ye Zhi’s mouths twitched, especially when Su Chengyuan said those people were to follow her into the military camp to attend to her, An Jing and Ye Zhi’s mouths twitched even more fiercely.

This is too much!

An Jing tried hard to suppress her anger before saying, ”You may only bring necessities, nothing else.”

Su Chengyuan said, ”But these are all Chengyuan’s necessities, and those people are the ones Chengyuan needs.”

An Jing’s mouth twitched again: ”Do you still want to join the military camp?”

”Chengyuan came here to join the military camp, didn’t she?”

”Then follow my instructions; if not, go back to the palace.” An Jing was not in the mood to show any grace this time.

”Sister-in-law...”

”Don’t call me sister-in-law, we are in the military camp now, you should address me as your instructor just like everyone else.”

”Instructor, even the Emperor has allowed Chengyuan to come to the military camp,” Su Chengyuan used her brother, Emperor Su Chengyu, to pressure An Jing.
