The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

Verbal praise is something that brings people closer together without any material cost, so he certainly won't be stingy with it.

"A hero can be a hero, but he lacks a little wisdom." said the woman.

Cultured people curse differently. The original meaning of this sentence was that her sister is not very smart.

"She is so young and spoiled by her elder sister, so it is inevitable that she will be arrogant and get into trouble." Liu Zhaoqing consoled her with a smile, "But you don't have to worry too much, my lady. As she grows older, she will surely become more sensible."

"hope so."

The woman's answer was rather perfunctory, and she didn't seem to have any illusions that her little sister was sensible.

At this time, the waiter came from the kitchen, carrying a wooden box, and put it on the table in front of Liu Zhaoqing with a smile.

"Master Qing, your three old dishes are here. I suggest you go back and eat them quickly, otherwise it will be very cold in the first month of the lunar year and the cakes will not taste good once they get cold."

"Yeah." Liu Zhaoqing took out five zhu coins from his pocket and handed them to the waiter. Then he looked around and said, "It seems that your business is particularly good today. There are no vacancies."

"Eh? Master Qing, don't you know?" The waiter was surprised. "Late yesterday, the county magistrate's office posted a recruitment notice. These people are waiting for the general in charge of the selection to come and recruit them, and then see if they can join the army."

"Join the army..."

"Yes." The waiter said as he wiped the table, "I heard that there were vicious beasts causing trouble in Jizhou again this year, and river worms also showed their might several times. The people's food was destroyed. One of my relatives left his hometown because of this."

"Listen to their accents, many of them are from Jizhou. They probably came to our plain to fight for the same reason."

"Then why do they want to join the army?" Liu Zhaoqing asked, "I mean, ordinary people joining the army basically have a hard time surviving, right?"

Liu Zhaoqing's words were a bit euphemistic. In fact, in a world where the enemies are really "Gundams", ordinary soldiers can definitely be called "cannon fodder".

"That's true, but I heard that the new county magistrate made a very good promise, saying that once you join the army, you will be given 40 coins and two pieces of coarse cloth, etc. Compared with other counties, it is much better."

"So generous?" Liu Zhaoqing was very surprised to hear this condition.

"But, has the county magistrate of Pingyuan County changed?"

"Yeah, Master Qing, doesn't he know? That's right, it seems like he's only been in office for three days." said the waiter.

Pingyuan County, new county magistrate, around 189.

When these words were put together, Liu Zhaoqing immediately thought of a hot man.

"Have you ever met the new magistrate?"

"Mr. Qing, you asked the right person. I actually saw him from a distance when I went shopping on the street yesterday."

"What does the county magistrate look like?"

"What does she look like?" the waiter asked puzzledly.

The woman in front of Liu Zhaoqing also frowned slightly.

"What I mean is, does he have any special qualities? Like looking like he's about to cry at any moment? Or having a pair of big ears?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"Crying? Big ears?" The waiter scratched his head. "I don't think so. But if you say 'big'... then big... uh..."

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhaoqing looked at the waiter who suddenly stopped talking.

"What's big?"

Could it be that this waiter also knows the “big-eared thief” meme?

The waiter closed his mouth, then looked timid, said that he still had to serve guests and left quickly. Before leaving, he secretly glanced at the woman in front of Liu Zhaoqing.

The woman clearly had her eyes closed, but the waiter always felt like she was staring at him, which was so annoying.

But Liu Zhaoqing couldn't feel the waiter's feelings, so he was naturally very confused.

"You seem to be very interested in the new county magistrate?" At this time, the woman who had not spoken for a long time opened her eyes and asked again.

"It's not that I'm interested, but if he's an outstanding person, who wouldn't want to make friends with him?" Liu Zhaoqing explained.

If it was the County Magistrate Liu, then Liu Zhaoqing would certainly want to meet him, but after listening to the waiter's description, it seemed that he was overthinking.

The woman nodded slightly: "That's right."

"But as a seven-foot-tall man, you should still pay attention to etiquette and never say such words in front of the Ming court again."

"Why?" Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled. Was there anything rude in what he had just said?

The woman did not answer Liu Zhaoqing's question. She slowly stood up and walked out the door.

Pretty grim.

This woman had an extraordinary temperament, but a strange personality, and it seemed that she had no intention of making friends with him. Liu Zhaoqing thought about it and felt that he might have a chance to meet her again in the future, so he didn't bother about it, picked up the things he bought and walked home.

On the other side, the long-haired woman watched Liu Zhaoqing leave from the back door of a courtyard, then she stroked her hair and said to the people behind her: "It's almost time, open the door to recruit."

"I'll be the one to check on my eldest sister."

The follower was surprised, then immediately lowered his head and responded.

"As ordered by the festival."

Chapter 10: Really Big

The chance encounter with the woman in military uniform with long hair and red eyes was just an accident.

Liu Zhaoqing’s “Eminent Person Detection System” was not activated either, so he was not sure whether the other party was an elite person or not.

Even if she was a talented person, given her attitude towards him, Liu Zhaoqing felt that the possibility of her "returning home" was zero, and it would not bring any improvement to herself, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

However, Liu Zhaoqing really didn't know that Pingyuan County had actually changed its county magistrate.

As an "excellent enterprise" in the county, his own theater provided a lot of tax revenue to the county magistrate's office, so Liu Zhaoqing had a very good relationship with the county magistrate's office in recent years.

Now it seems that the newly appointed county magistrate has recruited soldiers with generous conditions as soon as he arrived. Regardless of what his purpose is, this approach is also a great guarantee for the security of Pingyuan County.

The worry about the impending unrest has finally eased a bit.

After returning home, Liu Zhaoqing called Baoer, handed the cakes and dishes in his hand to her, and asked her to cook a few delicious dishes for the servants, as a way to bring good luck for the new year after the New Year.

"It's already the 23rd day of the first lunar month, are we still asking for good luck?" Baoer asked with eyes wide open, puzzled.

Although I didn't know what the head of the family was thinking, I still obediently went to prepare.

At noon, Liu Zhaoqing saw Bo Cai, Liu Pi and Gong Du tasting shortbread together in the side room. They looked very happy, and his mood improved a lot.

The meal was eaten one bite at a time. The monotonous life finally took a turn for the better, which was something worth celebrating.

Liu Zhaoqing picked up the wine jug beside him, poured himself a glass and started to taste it.

Spicy and hard to swallow, the wine of this era is far inferior to that of the past.

If Liu Zhaoqing knew how to make wine, he would definitely improve these wines.

"A few servants can be outstanding people at random, so if we recruit more, can we find more?" Liu Zhaoqing pondered.

"Then maybe we can win the grand prize. As far as I can remember, even among the Yellow Turban bandits, there are some good generals."

However, he quickly rejected this idea.

It's okay to hire a few servants occasionally, but you are recruiting capable servants on a large scale. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are recruiting soldiers. You are recruiting private soldiers without having the power to recruit soldiers. In this era when the system has not yet collapsed, it is almost equivalent to treason.

"Then we can only go with the flow."

"And these three are actually not bad. Bo Cai has more comprehensive attributes, and Tianci is a breeding one. They can be trained to be both good at logistics and battlefields."

"The little girl Gong Du can not only do logistics, but also speak the language of birds, which is quite useful. If she is trained, she can definitely become an intelligence gathering spy."

"As for Liu Pi, there is no need to say anything. He is the strongest among the Three Heroes."

After this analysis, Liu Zhaoqing felt that his "Three Heroes" were no less inferior to Liu, Guan, and Zhang!

While Liu Zhaoqing was drinking and immersed in his dream of being a "youthful version of Liu, Guan, and Zhang", Zhang Jiao walked in from outside the door.

I was a little surprised to see Liu Zhaoqing drinking.

"Qingjun encountered a happy event?"

On weekdays, Liu Zhaoqing hardly drinks, so it must be because of something.

"Yes." Seeing Zhang Jiao coming, Liu Zhaoqing quickly asked her to come over and take a look, "Jiao'er, look at those."

"Isn't that the servant of the family?" Zhang Jiao asked puzzledly.

"These are not ordinary servants. If there are ten or a hundred more of them, we will really have the confidence to survive in troubled times." Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.

If so many outstanding people surrender, if nothing else, at least my physical attributes will definitely be greatly improved.

However, these words sounded a little different to Zhang Jiao.

"Is Qingjun worried too?" Zhang Jiao said softly. She felt that Liu Zhaoqing meant to prepare for the future, but she was helpless about the fact that her innate conditions were insufficient.

"What did Jiao'er say?" Liu Zhaoqing didn't hear it clearly.

“Actually, I can do these things.”

Zhang Jiao's words made Liu Zhaoqing laugh: "Jiao'er, what are you talking about? I can't bear to let you do the work of a servant."

"And don't worry, your husband is different now." Liu Zhaoqing held his head high and chest puffed out.

"My time is coming."

It was just a cool remark, but Zhang Jiao acted extremely serious.

"Yes, I will definitely come." She nodded.

"Jiao'er really gives me face." Liu Zhaoqing coughed awkwardly. Only his wife would cooperate with him like this. If it were someone else, they would have rolled their eyes long ago.

"Qingjun, I want to go back to my uncle's house tomorrow."

"Are you going to pick up that little girl?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"Ah."

"Then let Baoer go with you so that we can take care of you." Liu Zhaoqing said, and then seeing that she seemed ready to refuse, he immediately said.

"You have to listen to me. When I went to the restaurant to buy wine this morning, I heard that there was another disaster in the west of Jizhou. There must be a lot of refugees fleeing here. I will feel relieved if there are more people to accompany you."

"Well."

"If Qingjun can't stand it at home these few days..."

"What's so unbearable?" Liu Zhaoqing didn't think of going there at first.

Zhang Jiao looked at the three maids: "The tall one is good looking. As for the other two, the short one is okay, but the other one looks a bit masculine and they are all too young."

"Uh……"

It seems like my wife misunderstood something?

"Jiao'er, you misunderstood. I am nice to these three people because they have considerable abilities." Liu Zhaoqing said hurriedly.

Zhang Jiao nodded. "Although Qingjun is a commoner, they do seem to be more capable to you, but you can't be careless about the affairs of the concubines. You need to think carefully before you act."

"If it really doesn't work..." Zhang Jiao's ears turned red, "Qingjun has the book, doesn't it? It's hard... Qingjun has to do it himself..."

"..."

-

The next morning, Liu Zhaoqing sent Zhang Jiao and Baoer away, and reminded them to be careful on the road and seek help from local soldiers if they encountered danger. Money is not important, and their own safety is the absolute first priority.

The two girls nodded in agreement. Baoer told Liu Zhaoqing not to worry, saying that she was a good fighter, otherwise she would not have followed the lady all the time.

In the past, Liu Zhaoqing thought Bao'er was just being cute, but now, after seeing the "standard maids" he hired, he completely believed the fact that Bao'er and Jiao'er were indeed in much better health than himself.

The two of them were just going to pick someone up and wouldn't delay too long. They would probably be back in two or three days.

When Bao'er was not around, Liu Zhaoqing asked Xiaocai from the Three Heroes to temporarily manage the servants in the house, while he himself went to the Baixi Tower to supervise. In simple terms, he went to work.

As soon as he arrived at Zuimengdie, Liu Zhaoqing discovered that there were a lot more guests watching the show and chatting in front of the stage on the first floor.

Judging from his accent, he is from western Hebei and must have come here to join the army to make a living.

"I thought that with my physique, it should be easy to be selected, but I didn't expect to be asked to leave directly. Sigh, I didn't expect it would be so difficult to get the money."

"Isn't it? My brother has a little gift from God. He is stronger than ordinary people. This should make him the most suitable soldier, right? But the beautiful-haired and arrogant recruiting officer signaled him to leave."

"That's really strange. What kind of soldiers is this county magistrate recruiting? He doesn't like this and that?"

……

"Beautiful hair? Arrogant? Why does this description sound so familiar?"

Listening to the guests' conversation, Liu Zhaoqing always felt that he had seen the person they described before.
