Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!-Chapter 1535 - 351: Huang Wan’er: Husband, Pamper Me Quickly_3
Then he took out an elixir and handed it to Xiao Hu, saying: "Hu Zi, this is an [Extreme Yang Dragon Blood Pill]. I’ve been busy lately and haven’t seen that kid Zhou Chu. If you see him, give this elixir to him and help him raise his strength to the Dragon Realm. Otherwise, when we all have improved, he’ll still be in the Rainbow Realm, crying to his wife when he gets home."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu laughed and said: "Jiu Si is right. I heard recently that his wife gave birth to a big fat boy, and he is overjoyed."
Chen Jie said: "Really? Haha, then once I’m done with my tasks, I must go have a look."
Chen Jie was somewhat sentimental at this moment. In recent years, he had been very busy, but unconsciously, his brothers had all started families, establishing careers, and having children. Unexpectedly, even Zhou Chu had a child. When time permits, he should gather these old brothers for a meeting.
Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said: "Hu Zi, perhaps you should also start a family. Is there any girl you’ve taken a liking to?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu remained silent, merely giving Chen Jie a smile.
Eh?
Chen Jie was taken aback, knowing that usually when this topic was brought up, Xiao Hu would adamantly deny having any interest, but today, this bashful smile implied that there was something amiss.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said: "Have you taken a liking to someone? Tell me, whether she’s from a royal family or a daughter of Jianghu, just tell me, and I’ll go propose for you."
Xiao Hu said: "No, brother, please stop asking."
"You’re even playing shy with me now."
Chen Jie chuckled and then said: "No matter who it is, I’ll make the decision and propose on your behalf in the future."
Xiao Hu said: "Okay."
Seeing Xiao Hu agree readily, Chen Jie found it even more amusing. This guy is quite interesting. Just who has he fallen for?
Keep in mind that aside from the army, he’s always at the Chen Residence and hasn’t ventured out. So who on earth does he really like?
Chen Jie didn’t know, but since Xiao Hu didn’t want to say, he decided not to press further.
This way, after giving some instructions to the troops, Chen Jie left. Before leaving, he repeatedly emphasized the importance of diligent training, as the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Formation really is life-saving.
Back in the day, when Hero Guo defended Xiangyang, he used this Eight Diagrams Formation. Everyone saw how effective it was.
Not only did it safeguard Xiangyang for eighteen years, but it also defeated Mu Lan and Brother Meng.
That’s the power of the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Formation.
So once this formation is mastered, Chen Jie should face no major issues in defense, especially in these chaotic times of rampant territorial ambitions.
To seize others’ territories, first we have to protect our own.
This is one of the reasons Chen Jie urged the troops to rigorously practice the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Formation from Wu Mu’s Legacy.
With these matters settled, Chen Jie left the army and passed by the largest textile factory in Huangzhou Prefecture, Huangzhou First Textile Factory.
Then he saw hundreds of large wagons parked here.
Seeing these large wagons, Chen Jie became curious and asked the factory manager about them.
Then he heard that these wagons belonged to the Xu Family, the largest merchant in Tianshui, and were here in Huangzhou Prefecture to purchase goods.
Chen Jie knew that currently cotton yarn was sold in two ways: one was with delivery included, each bundle costing one tael and two maces of silver.
The other was without delivery, each bundle costing one tael of silver, with two maces being the transport fee. Although two maces of silver don’t seem much, if big clients purchase tens of thousands of bundles, the cost would be significant.
Therefore, many large merchants came to Huangzhou Prefecture to purchase cloth.
Chen Jie looked at the wagons transporting cloth and asked: "Where are these wagons headed?"
"Tianshui."
Chen Jie secretly pondered, Tianshui isn’t far from where I’m heading, Bright Peak, just across a few prefectures. Travelling alone draws too much attention, so why not blend in with this merchant convoy and head straight to the Northern, then navigate accordingly.
With this thought, Chen Jie asked the factory manager: "Are they still hiring?"
The manager said: "Yes, recently the Northern is unstable, so they’re recruiting guards, but it’s difficult to find people; it seems only Zhen Nan Escort Agency is willing to accept the job."
Chen Jie responded: "Zhen Nan Escort Agency, I haven’t heard of it."
The manager said: "It’s a small agency, not many people.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said: "Oh, are you well-acquainted with anyone from Zhen Nan Escort Agency?"
The manager said: "Not really familiar, but they often ask for my help to introduce clients, since it’s hard to make a living with few people in their small agency."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie pondered quietly for a moment before saying: "Hmm, well, invite someone from there and say you have a relative who wants to join the escort agency to earn some money for the New Year."
The manager was stunned and said: "Lord, you?"
Chen Jie said: "Follow my instructions. Tomorrow I will meet them outside the city."
The manager said: "Okay, okay, I will certainly handle this matter well."
Chen Jie said: "My identity must remain confidential."
The manager said: "Yes, I understand." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
With the arrangement made to join the merchant convoy northward the next day, Chen Jie returned to the Chen Residence, first visiting Su Yunjin and then checking on his son, who had grown quite a bit in two months.
He looked chubby and quite adorable.
Chen Jie spent until the evening with Su Yunjin, and Su Yunjin said: "Husband, as I’ve just given birth, I’m not feeling well. I won’t keep you tonight. Go spend time with Sister Huang; you haven’t properly spent time with her since returning."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said: "I’m leaving tomorrow. You don’t want to spend time with your husband?"
