Chapter 252: The Emperor Star Descends to Earth! This is truly the merit of following the dragon!
Shen Ruyi met with Wu Dakezi alone, which made Old Man Jin, who was waiting in the yard, anxious. He wanted to rush into the house to find out what was going on.
He saw from a distance that burly man kneeling down in front of their young lady. He couldn't hear what they said clearly, but it was obvious that the man was very respectful to the young lady.
Shen Ruyi shouted, "Jinbao, come in for a moment!"
Jinbao rushed in quickly, Shen Ruyi smiled and said: "Jinbao, you can call him Uncle Wu from now on. Maybe you don't know him. Uncle Wu was my father's deputy general. He grew up with my uncle Wei Chuang and my uncle Da Zhuang.
Uncle Wu, this is Jinbao. The one guarding the gate today is Zhaocai. The two of them are the bodyguards my father arranged for me. They are loyal to me and have protected me all the way here."
The two of them quickly clasped their fists to each other and got to know each other.
Shen Ruyi: "Uncle Wu, go back and clean up today, and come back tomorrow and start the work with your men.
I will give you a blueprint and build a manor on the Xiaobao Mountain opposite me. It will be simpler and not too complicated. After the manor is built, Uncle Wu can place your people there!
We will need manpower to develop this land in the future, so let everyone live here and take care of them in the future."
Wu Kai clasped his fists and said, "Madam, Wu Kai will follow your instructions. Are the more than one hundred brothers under my command in danger of death? Are any of them injured?"
The old man slowly came to the door of the main room and whispered, "Those 123 people haven't woken up yet!
Madam, if they wake up, do they still need to be fed?"
Shen Ruyi was so angry that she laughed: "Hahaha! Mr. Jin, you asked someone to spray water on them.
Jinbao, go ask Uncle Zhang to notify the front yard to cook more food for 200 people tonight, so that Uncle Wu and his men can have a full meal before going home."
Wu Kaiyi clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your hospitality! We will pack up our farm tools and other things at home when we go back today, and we will rush over early tomorrow morning!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Okay! Uncle Wu, you can make the arrangements.
Uncle Wu, take this five thousand taels of silver. Start preparing to hire people tomorrow. It would be best to go to the county government office in Jubao County and find Lord Ma and Master Ma.
They have experience and the people they hire are not necessarily bad people, they are all local poor people, let them earn some money to live a good life. "
Wu Kai was stunned when he saw the dazzling banknotes: "Madam, this is too much money. I'm worried that I might lose it. Just give me one thousand taels, and that'll be all!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Wu, I will listen to you. I will give you one thousand taels first. When you have used up all the money, you can ask me for more money. You don't have to save money.
Uncle Wu, as long as you and your people follow me wholeheartedly, you won't have to worry about not having a good life!"
Suddenly, Aunt Cai ran in and bumped into Wu Kai. She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Madam... Just now, a kid from our family went to the mountain to look for the trap, and a big wild boar fell into the trap!
This wild boar has a litter, and it has two little ones!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Aunt Cai, take my Uncle Wu and find two people, and let Uncle Zhang lead the way to the mountain, and drag the wild boar down. Kill the wild boar tonight, and you can prepare a pig-killing banquet as a welcoming banquet for my Uncle Wu and the others!
Uncle Wu, you guys should be careful to catch those two little wild boars and raise them for Uncle Zhang to eat when they grow up!"
Wu Kai held the banknote in disbelief, looking at the pretty girl. In this era, the poor had to eat dirt. Killing pigs and eating meat could be used to entertain people like them...
Shen Ruyi looked at Wu Kai's expression and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, I followed my mother and married into my father's family when I was six years old. My father's way of doing things is naturally the same for us children!
My father values everyone around him and he shares the good and bad times with everyone.
Go, Uncle Wu, tell your brothers to live a good life with me from now on. I treat you as my family."
Wu Kai couldn't hold back his tears. He knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Madam, I really can't repay you enough. I will follow you well in the future!"
Shen Ruyi was very touched and signaled Jinbao to pull Wu Kai up. Old Man Jin said, "Uncle Wu, stop wasting time here and hurry up! Otherwise, when will we be able to eat the pig-killing dish?"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Yes! Uncle Wu, go get busy. I love blood sausage... Don't waste the pig's blood!"
Wu Kai said excitedly: "Okay! Madam, uncle will get it for you!"
Watching a group of people rushing out in a hurry, she really didn't expect that this Wu Dakezi was actually her father's old subordinate!
It's not that Shen Ruyi easily trusts people, it's just that she saw the shadows of her uncle Wei Chuang and uncle Da Zhuang in Wu Kai. They both had that kind of soldier's integrity, and she could recognize him at once!
After Wu Kai left the yard, he told Uncle Zhang to wait for him. He went straight to the gate and found his people and briefly told them that the lady of Jubaoyuan wanted to take them in, and he decided to bring everyone to Jubaoyuan!
He also said that a big wild boar was caught on the back mountain of Jubao Garden today. His wife would kill the wild boar tonight and entertain them. She would keep more than 200 of them here for dinner. After dinner, they would go home to clean up and pack everything up and come here tomorrow!
Everyone was dancing and jumping with excitement. Wu Kai said excitedly: "Brothers, you all follow me, Wu Kai. I will never give up on you. I will lead you to live a good life!
Let's go! Come with me and catch some pigs in the mountains. We can't release the pig's blood. My wife loves to eat blood sausage..."
That night, more than 200 people on Gongjiling, led by Wu Kai, mixed with the people from Jubaoyuan and ate the pig-killing meal together!
Everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal. In fact, after killing a wild boar weighing more than 200 pounds, the main ribs, the main bone and the pig's trotters should be kept. It is indeed not too much. But in this era of material scarcity, the broth and the several large slices of pork that each person was given became the rarest delicacies!
Starting from the next day, Wu Kai came in a hurry with more than 200 of his men, driving two horse-drawn carriages loaded with pots, pans, and utensils!
Of course, these 273 people did not include Vulture and his group. Wu Kai looked down on Vulture and his group of ghost-faced and toad-eyed people and drove them all away.
Wu Kai brought more than 200 people to the manor of Jubaoyuan. They temporarily built a few rows of houses behind the front and back wing rooms of the manor. After installing a simple kang, Wu Kai and his men settled down.
Wu Kai was a capable man. With the money given by Shen Ruyi, he found the county magistrate Ma Dahai and started hiring people.
Ma Dahai and Master Ma were both shocked. The big bandit leader Wu Dakezi from Yushan County actually took refuge with the wife of Jubaoyuan. Oh my God! What was going on?
If you have money but don't make it, you're a bastard. Ma Dahai and Ma Shiye immediately started recruiting workers. Wu Kai gave a kickback. Although it was not as generous as Shen Ruyi, he also gave ten taels of silver!
All the common people on Xiaobao Mountain joined in the battle. It turned out that money makes the world go round. The employment of workers at Jubaoyuan really made the common people rush forward like chicken blood.
In less than ten days, an ordinary manor on Xiaobao Mountain, but a large manor that could accommodate a thousand people, was completed in a low-key manner!
Wu Kai and his people moved into their new home, and they all felt as if it was New Year’s Day!
The next day was the second day of the second month. On that morning, Shen Ruyi suddenly went into labor. Her children were about to be born!
The sky was gloomy in the morning, the wind was cold and big snowflakes were falling!
Zhaocai informed Wu Kai to be on guard. Wu Kai knew that Shen Ruyi was about to give birth, so he did not dare to delay and immediately arranged for people to cordon off the entire Jubao Garden, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps!
Wu Kai and his men stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the snowflakes flying in the sky. He felt warm in his heart. He was alone now, but he could meet the daughter of the Duke here.
He must take good care of the Duke's daughter. The Duke's daughter is the same as his daughter!
Old man Jin in the room felt Shen Ruyi's pulse and said with a smile, "Madam, you are about to give birth. The midwives are here and they have all changed into clean clothes.
Don't worry, I asked them a few questions and I know they are all experienced midwives!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jin. Please wait outside. I will be fine...
Xiaohong and Xiaobi, just put the bamboo tube at the head of my bed. I will be fine. You can get ready to pick up my children later!"
The ground outside was already covered in silver white. When it was almost noon, the wind direction suddenly changed, and the clouds in the sky were blown to move quickly...
Shen Ruyi's contractions were severe, and she suddenly felt as if she was about to split apart. Not daring to be careless, Shen Ruyi tried hard to drink two sips of the spiritual spring water.
A midwife coaxed softly, "Madam, please stop drinking water... You have to push harder, you can even see the baby's head..."
Rumble...Rumble...
Wu Kai, who had just entered the yard and wanted to inquire whether Shen Ruyi was born, and everyone in the yard suddenly heard two loud rumbling thunders, and the earth began to shake!
It seemed as if suddenly, a strong wind came from the sky and blew away all the clouds, revealing the bright sun!
ah ah ah...
Everyone was dumbfounded. How come the sky suddenly became clear? Then they heard a woman scream!
When everyone looked up, they saw a golden light falling from the sky and immediately landed on the roof of the main house!
Wow... wow...
Old Man Jin's eyes widened: "Oh my! The Nine Provinces are in turmoil, the clouds are clearing, the sky is bright, the golden light is falling, and a child is born...
This is... this is the Emperor Star coming to the world!"
Old Man Jin and Wu Kai both understood in their hearts that their young wives had given birth to an emperor star!
With a thump! Wu Kai took the lead and knelt on the ground, followed by Zhao Cai Jin Bao and everyone else in the yard!
Wu Kai didn't know what he was thinking of. He stood up again with a flutter of his feet, his face full of murderous intent: "No one is allowed to tell anyone about the strange phenomenon that just happened. Otherwise... you will be killed without mercy!"
The silly-smiling old man was frightened by Wu Kai and trembled. He muttered to himself: "The Emperor has descended to earth! This is truly the work of a dragon!"
