Chapter 22: Alcoholic Men Are Unreliable

"Your Royal Highness Princess, we all know everything, so when will we start construction?"

Lao Mu's words were also what the other three wanted to ask, and they found that they had never been so motivated about such a thing as work.

However, Shelley's expression was a little helpless: "Although I also want to start construction immediately, my funds and materials are not yet in place." Before this is determined, go back and teach this knowledge to the people below. But rest assured, whether it is iron or wood, it will be all provided by me. ”

Shelley's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and they were still wondering if they would want to get these things themselves. Especially the blacksmith Lao Liu, if you want to say what is the most difficult to do, it seems that it must be iron at present. He usually makes iron for people, and it is the old iron that other people's families bring themselves, hoping that he can make something else, but he himself does not have much iron.

If you really want to get iron yourself, you have to go to the river to dig iron sand by yourself. Not to mention Wule Town, there are not a few shallow rivers in the entire border state, and even if there are, they are all controlled by some nobles, but they are not for iron sand, because there is something more valuable than iron sand in the river, that is, gold. So how is it possible to bring civilians close to this place.

As for iron resources, they are not scarce, and they are also in the hands of the aristocracy. They used this iron to build army equipment for themselves and make daily necessities. The rest would be sold to the commoners, so no matter what, the money would always go into the pockets of the nobles.

That's why they were so surprised after they met Shelley, not only did they not have the slightest aristocrat's arrogance and greed from her, but the most important thing was that she actually shared her wisdom and wealth, how could such a person not be embraced, anyway, the four of them had reached a very high level of support for Shelley after getting along for a short time.

"Anyway, that's all I want to talk about today, you can take this information back, but there are two things you must pay attention to. First, you must not allow the second person to come into contact with these things, and when you teach the people below, you must also make it clear to them that you must not disclose these techniques. Second, I encourage everyone to come up with more good ideas, and the better the ideas, the more rewards I will give, and I will definitely not be disadvantaged. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." The four bowed their heads respectfully.

Feeling a little hungry in his abdomen, Shelley realized that he had been talking for a long time, and then said to the four of them: "Four, stay and have a meal together, if there is anything to say, we will eat and talk at the table." ”

As soon as they heard that Shelley had invited them to dinner together, the four of them began to panic again.

"No, no, no, how can this be done."

"yes, our bodies are so dirty, I'm afraid we'll get dirty on your table."

"Lao Mu is right, you see that I usually work in the field, and my hands are still muddy."

Hans on the side laughed and said, "You just stay, Her Royal Highness the princess won't care about this." She usually eats with us entourage. ”

With Hans's persuasion, the three men responded with some embarrassment. But only Ah Sui still said with a face full of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness Princess, I still have two children at home waiting for me to go back to cook, so ......"

There is really no way to do this, when I just chatted with her about family life, I learned that her husband is an alcoholic who drinks all day long, and he soaks in the tavern when he has nothing to do, and he can't earn a lot of money, and it's not very good for Ah Sew's mother and son.

So now basically the whole family is supported by Ah Sew alone, a woman in her thirties is pulling her two children, and there is an unreliable husband by her side, it is not easy to think about it.

Shelley thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, let's eat first, and when it's over, I'll ask the chef to pack a few portions for you, and you can take them back to the children to eat." ”

"This ...... Well, thank you, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Ah Sui lowered his head, but a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

At the dining table, Shelley specially asked the four of them to sit closer to their positions, originally the four of them were still very nervous, but seeing that the entourage here was very casual to talk and laugh with Shelley, so they also relaxed.

Later, they chatted with the entourage here. The topic of Lao Mu Lao Cai and Yuan Da Yuan Er was more speculative, and the four of them chatted together after a while. The sixth also served as a soldier before becoming a blacksmith, and talked to Hans about weapons.

There's only a female Ah Sew who has no one to talk to, after all, there are no other women in the house except Shelley and Nika now, and Nika left the table to go back to the experiment after eating hastily, and the rest of Shelley, Ah Sew still has some concerns.

Seeing that she had been uneasy and had barely eaten a few bites, Shelley asked.

"Ah Su, don't these dishes suit your taste?"

"Ahh No, it's not like that, I just have a small appetite, thank you very much for your hospitality, I won't waste it, I'll take it back to my children later, they have a good appetite. ”

How could Shelley not see that she had something on her mind, so she asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" If you have any difficulties, you can tell me about it, and I will help you if you can help. ”

As soon as he heard this, Ah Su's face suddenly panicked.

"No, no, no, I don't have difficulties, I really don't have difficulties......"

However, as soon as the words fell, there was a loud shouting outside.

"Damn, I'm going to sell this monster to the noble lord today anyway!"

"Ah~ Dad, you hurt me, please, let me go, I won't make trouble for you, don't sell me!"

"I beg you too, Dad, don't send my brother away, okay!"

"Get out of the way! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu even sold you too! Just take some extra money to buy alcohol to drink! ”

As soon as he heard these voices, Ah Suan's face turned white, and the whole person stumbled out. Shelley's brow furrowed, and she got up to greet her.

"What are you doing! Let him go! As soon as Ah Shu went out, he snatched a boy about ten years old from a man with a flushed face.

The girl on the side also pounced when she saw Ah Su, and cried loudly: "Mom, Dad said that he was going to sell his brother again, and this time he would sell me too!" ”

Ah Jian hugged the two children tightly and comforted: "No, my mother won't let you leave." ”

The man exuded the smell of alcohol, and after seeing Ah Su, he walked over with a hideous face, lowered his head and grabbed her hair.

"Ahh Ah Su exhaled in pain, and his hands never let go of the two children.

"What's it called!? Didn't you say a long time ago that if I didn't see the food and wine when I came back, I would sell him! Damn, you won't be there for a while, and you'll run out, are you seducing a man! As he spoke, the man slapped her in the face.

And this scene happened to be seen by Shelley, who came out. An explosion of emotion spurred her on, kicking the man in the side of the face.

"Ouch!" The man cried out in pain, and his hand loosened. This kick directly kicked him and staggered, but before he could react, Shelley kicked him in the ass again, making him completely a dog shit.

Shelley looked down at the man who was slowly getting up from the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Take him down for me!" ”
