The First Military God of the Border

Soon.

Miss Xiao Wan arrived with Wanhetang's young lover.

"Madam, I have brought the person."

Song Qingyan nodded.

"But we don't need him anymore, Lin Hui has already taken care of it."

Wang Hui nodded, clasped his hands slightly in greeting to Lin Hui, and then said, "Madam Song, my master drank Thirty Mile Red wine and said that Shiweitian's new wine is the best wine he has ever tasted. He asked me to take a few more jars back with me."

Song Qingyan smiled slightly: "Xiao Wan, get Wang Hui some wine, three jars."

Their conversation was overheard by all the patrons present.

If Lin Hui's words just now dispelled the doubts of many drinkers by exposing the Zhou brothers, then Wang Hui's words now put their minds at ease.

Who is Wang Hui? He is a disciple of the legendary doctor Gong.

"This must be the eldest disciple of the renowned physician Gong from Wanhetang."

"Yes, it's him."

"What's there to worry about?"

"Boss lady, bring us another jar."

"We'd like two more jars."

"We want to too..."

Thirty Mile Red's sales were not affected by today's incident; on the contrary, they became even more popular thanks to Lin Hui's wit and Wang Hui's divine assistance.

Song Qingyan looked at Xiao Wan and said with a smile, "Look how clever Wang Hui is, learn from him."

Xiao Wan stuck out her tongue, then took out three jars of wine and handed them to Wang Hui.

"Take this and go. I have a lot of things to do."

Wang Hui took the wine jar, and his hand accidentally touched Xiao Wan's hand. Xiao Wan blushed instantly, lowered her head, and ran away.

Wang Hui smiled at Song Qingyan, Lin Hui, and the others, saying, "Boss lady, I'll head back now. My master is still waiting for my wine."

Song Qingyan nodded: "Okay, you should go back quickly and thank the miracle doctor for me."

Wang Hui agreed, glanced at Xiao Wan who was working with her head down, and then left the restaurant.

Song Qingyan turned her head and called out, "Xiao Wan, what are you doing? They're about to leave, don't you know you should see them off?"

Xiao Wan reluctantly uttered an "oh".

He immediately chased after them.

Wang Hui walked slowly, as if he was waiting for Xiao Wan to see him off. Before he even left, he saw Xiao Wan arrive and immediately beamed with joy.

Back upstairs in Song Qingyan's boudoir, Song Qingyan poured tea for Lin Hui and Ling Ziyi.

"Lin Hui, thank you so much. This is the third time you've helped me out of a tight spot."

Lin Hui took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Sis, don't be so polite. You're my sister now, how can I, as your younger brother, just stand by and do nothing? Besides, I'm counting on you to make a lot of money."

Song Qingyan smiled.

Lin Hui put down his teacup and changed the subject: "Sister, there's something I'd like you to help me with."

"What is it? Just say it."

"Well, sister, now that I have money, I'm thinking of repairing my dilapidated courtyard, but there aren't any skilled craftsmen in the village."

Song Qingyan laughed and said, "I thought it was something serious. No problem, I'll have Xiaowan go and ask someone for you."

"But do you want to build a new house, or just renovate it?"

Just as Lin Hui was about to speak, Ling Ziyi interjected, "Of course, we should build a new house, and it should be big, with a large heated kang bed that can accommodate three people."

"Oh, you're building a new house, and you want three people to sleep on a heated kang bed? Three people?"

Song Qingyan hadn't paid any attention at first, but after repeating it once, she immediately realized something was wrong.

"What do you mean? What is a heated kang bed? And it requires three people to sleep on it?"

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

"Yes, there's also Sister Fei Yuan at home."

"But I don't know what a heated kang is. He said he wanted to build a big heated kang."

Song Qingyan was speechless, and tentatively asked, "Sister Feiyuan? Feiyuan...who is Sister Feiyuan?"

"Yes, Sister Fei Yuan is the legal wife, and I am the concubine."

Song Qingyan glanced at Lin Hui, her beautiful eyes flickering uncertainly, wondering what Lin Hui was up to.

When Ling Ziyi came in, she said she was the young mistress, but Lin Hui really did have two mistresses.

"Lin...Lin Hui...tell me the truth, how many wives do you have?"

Song Qingyan looked at Lin Hui and asked the question that had been bothering her, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment and bitterness.

Lin Hui was dumbfounded.

When she entered, Ling Ziyi said that he was the young mistress.

But what's wrong with Song Qingyan? Why is she so agitated?

Why do you look so disappointed?

He didn't understand, but he nodded nonetheless: "Sister, I do indeed have two wives."

Song Qingyan was stunned for a moment, her face filled with disappointment. After a long while, she nodded and said, "You...you really...you're so lucky with women..."

Then, Song Qingyan's actions left Lin Hui completely baffled.

"There's a carriage in the backyard. Take the money and head back early. I have other things to do, so I won't keep you for dinner."

After saying that, he left the room without looking back.

Lin Hui looked completely bewildered. What was all this about?

Why did they suddenly issue an order to leave?

And what's wrong with Ling Ziyi today?

How come this usually intelligent woman has become so silly today, saying such nonsensical things?

What exactly does she mean?

Lin Hui reluctantly carried the silver downstairs and loaded it into the carriage in the backyard.

Then they drove the horse-drawn carriage toward the market.

Now that he is truly financially independent, Lin Hui's first thought is to buy supplies for his home.

Lin Hui drove the carriage, looking at Ling Ziyi beside him, and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Ziyi, what's wrong with you today? The things you're saying don't sound like yourself."

Ling Ziyi glared at Lin Hui: "How is it not my opinion? It was my opinion that we should sleep on a heated kang bed for three people?"

Lin Hui was speechless.

"Purple Robe, can't you stop making me angry? Can't you speak properly?"

"snort……."

Ling Ziyi snorted coldly: "Who told you to go around flirting with other women? I'll go back and tell Fei Yuan that you're never allowed to sleep in my bed again. I'll make you suffocate."

Lin Hui gave a wry smile: "I haven't been flirting with anyone. My sister is a business partner."

"Are you stupid? You call yourself 'older sister'? Can't you see? She likes you."

"No way."

Lin Hui exclaimed in surprise, "Ziyi, don't talk nonsense. I'm just a humble hunter. Why would anyone like me?"

"I really don't know what to say about you."

Ling Ziyi suddenly said seriously, "The reason I did this today is to let her know that you already have two women, so stop overthinking."

Lin Hui laughed and asked in return, "Purple Robe, why do I feel so sour?"

"Sour grapes my foot."

Ling Ziyi glared at Lin Hui: "Don't flatter yourself. I'm as beautiful as a flower, loved by everyone. I'm just blocking the door for Sister Feiyuan, to prevent you from bringing just anyone home."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui looked at Ling Ziyi meaningfully, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "Let's hurry up and leave, it's getting dark."

Ling Ziyi pulled on the reins and cursed decisively, almost causing Lin Hui to fall off the carriage.

Next, the two did not wander around, but went straight to the rice shop.

Although there was already plenty of rice at home, Lin Hui felt that the more food the better, especially since he was going to be repairing the house and so on, and with more people, there would inevitably be more food to eat.

He decisively bought another shi (a unit of dry measure) of rice, and then went to the salt shop and bought three jin (a unit of weight) of salt.

After finishing their shopping, Ling Ziyi looked at the increasingly dark sky and said, "Let's hurry up and go. If we don't get back in the middle of the night, what if it interferes with you carrying Fei Yuan and crawling under the stove?"

"what?"

Lin Hui was utterly dejected. Ling Ziyi became incredibly mischievous, unmatched in the world.

"What do you mean 'go back'? Just shut up already."

"Come on, let's go to the clothing store. Look at you, you don't even have a change of clothes."

Liu Lingzi wanted to refuse, but Lin Hui dragged her into a shop.

The shop was filled with a dazzling array of clothes.

Ling Ziyi said no, but once she entered the shop, her eyes widened instantly, and she started looking around at everything.

"Hey buddy, do you have any decent quality clothes?"

Lin Hui looked at the clothes in front of him and asked.

Now that we have money, although we can't be extravagant, we can't afford to buy Ling Ziyi bad clothes for the first time.

The young shop assistant hesitated, looking at the two men's clothing: "Sir, the clothes here are relatively inexpensive. We do have some nicer clothes, but the prices..."

"What are you dawdling about? Are you worried we don't have enough money?"

Ling Ziyi immediately rolled her eyes at the shop assistant, gave Lin Hui a look, and Lin Hui chuckled and took out a silver ingot to wave in front of the shop assistant.

"Oh, sir, sir, this way please, this way please..."

Led by the young waiter, the two entered the inner room, which was indeed filled with all kinds of fine clothes. Lin Hui took a few steps forward and was immediately drawn to a purple dress.

This dress is practically tailor-made for Ling Ziyi.

The color is the purple that Ling Ziyi often wears, the workmanship is exquisite, and the material is high-quality cotton.

"Dude, this is the one."

The young shop assistant immediately did as he was told, taking down the clothes and handing them to Lin Hui: "Sir, you have excellent taste! This is the best garment in our store."

"Of course, objectively speaking, this piece of clothing isn't cheap either."

Lin Hui ignored the waiter and asked Ling Ziyi, "Do you like it?"

Ling Ziyi touched the fabric of the clothes, and she liked it very much, but in the end she shook her head and pointed to another purple cotton coat, saying, "I want this one. The fabric of this one is so-so, so it should be cheaper."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui immediately understood that Ling Ziyi really liked the purple cotton coat, but just thought it was too expensive.

Moreover, wearing such expensive clothes could attract unnecessary trouble if recognized by discerning people.

Lin Hui didn't care: "Buddy, wrap up both of these, and wrap up these two red ones too."

Ling Ziyi was stunned.

They hurriedly stopped them.

But Lin Hui stopped him: "It's just two pieces of clothing, it's no big deal. You get two, and Fei Yuan gets two."

Hearing Lin Hui say this, a warm feeling slowly washed over Ling Ziyi. Since the incident at home, Lin Hui had been the kindest person to her.

At this moment, Ling Ziyi felt that her heart was completely captured by Lin Hui.

Next, Lin Hui sold two more quilts and other daily necessities before driving the horse-drawn carriage toward Sigou Village.
