Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 1190 - 1100: Female Prime Minister 38

Mr. Nameless smacked his forehead in frustration, truly he was so delighted that he became muddled. First, he was happy to see talent, then he talked too freely and actually forgot this point.

Such an excellent girl must be introduced to his granddaughter for a proper friendship.

"This is my granddaughter Ying Nan. She’s not much on literary pursuits but has great talent in martial arts and possesses excellent skills. Let her be your sister, and in the future, wherever you go, take my granddaughter along. She can protect you."

Yin Shuangshuang’s mouth twitched slightly, Mr. Nameless was a bit too carefree. He called her a little friend, and then wanted his granddaughter to be her sister. This confusion in titles—is this the legendary romanticism of gentlemen, unrestrained by worldly rules?

However, Yin Shuangshuang didn’t dwell on it and smoothly gave Ying Nan a gentle smile.

"Ying Nan sister, my name is Yin Shuangshuang. You can call me Sister Shuangshuang. If there’s any place you’d like to visit, just tell your sister. I’m fairly familiar with the area and can barely act as a guide for Ying Nan sister."

Ying Nan was quite enthusiastic, and came over to hold Yin Shuangshuang’s hand.

"Sister Shuangshuang, you’re amazing to have discussed books and learning with my grandfather for so long. You don’t know, my grandfather has high standards. Many great scholars don’t even meet his eye, but it’s you who made him see from a new perspective.

I am naturally not suited to reading, but I really admire scholars and in the future, I want to hang out with sister.

With time, maybe I can pick up some literary fragrance and avoid my grandfather saying I am as stubborn as a block of wood, impossible to carve."

Ying Nan’s witty words made Yin Shuangshuang unable to hold back a smile. She truly liked Ying Nan’s personality. It’s clear the relationship between Ying Nan and her grandfather was very good, and a grandfather who encourages his granddaughter to learn martial arts and is proud of her is indeed quite open-minded.

As the night fell, the County Magistrate’s Wife took her leave, and Yin Shuangshuang, together with Yin Zheng and Mrs. Wang, brought Mr. Nameless and Ying Nan to their home. The side courtyard that Yin Shuangshuang had people clean up was quite elegant, with seven or eight rooms in a row, neither too big nor too small.

The courtyard was planted with peach blossoms, and now that the blossoms were gone, it was full of fluffy peaches, ready to be eaten soon.

Yin Shuangshuang assigned two servants to care for Mr. Nameless and Ying Nan, and they did not reject the arrangements, happily moving in. Mr. Nameless had brought with him an old steward and an attendant, who also moved into the side courtyard.

Mr. Nameless’s luggage was simple, mostly books and such, along with some spare clothes, while Yin Shuangshuang arranged many living supplies to be brought in as well.

Mr. Nameless did not oppose Yin Shuangshuang’s thorough arrangements, but afterward gave Yin Shuangshuang 200 taels of silver, asking her to take it for meal costs and rent.

Yin Shuangshuang did not refuse, gladly accepting it. Sometimes, being overly generous to not-so-familiar friends without allowing them to pay makes people uncomfortable.

When staying at someone else’s house with generous hospitality—even with relatives and friends—one must exchange many gifts, let alone when Mr. Nameless is still considered a stranger. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Only after paying can he stay with peace of mind, whether on a moral level or psychological level. If Yin Shuangshuang stubbornly resisted taking the money, it would actually be equivalent to refusing a guest.

Mr. Nameless would certainly be embarrassed to stay long and would leave after a couple of days. By accepting the money, it rather genuinely represented her sincere wish for Mr. Nameless to remain a long-term guest.

After Mr. Nameless settled in, Yin Shuangshuang finally had someone with whom she could speak freely.

Though Mr. Nameless was a carefree hermit, he was well versed in political affairs. Every conversation Yin Shuangshuang had with Mr. Nameless was fruitful.

This was much more useful than listening to those scholars boasting in the bookstores. Although their information was not entirely closed off, knowing some court politics, they were still merely students not part of the officialdom, with limited knowledge, and were aware of only major events.

A few days later, the County Magistrate’s Wife came again to see Yin Shuangshuang and Mrs. Wang, but this time, she wasn’t here to chat and pass the time over books and tea; she was here on official business.

"Last time, I mentioned that General Feng’s soldiers at the border were punished for disobeying orders and became lower-class servants sold by the government. Among them, a hundred were assigned to our area.

My husband couldn’t bear the thought of these patriotic soldiers ending up in unsuitable homes suffering abuse.

The Emperor has decreed that throughout their lives, these soldiers cannot leave their servant status nor have any chance of redemption. If they were to end up in a bad household, they’d have nowhere to seek justice even if they were tortured to death. Therefore, my husband desires to find a good owner for these people.

Our family has decided to keep fifty people, and for the remaining fifty, we wanted to ask if you’d consider taking a few.

These battle-hardened border soldiers are excellent for safeguarding the home. If you purchase them, you certainly won’t regret it.

My husband knows your family’s reputation. If you purchase these people, you will surely treat them well. Thus, we wish to ask if you need to buy a few."

The County Magistrate’s Wife and County Magistrate had a good relationship with General Feng, which is why a hundred men were sent here. General Feng specifically asked them to help find a suitable place for his men, to avoid them being handed over to abusive households.

The County Magistrate greatly admired these patriotic soldiers too, but he couldn’t manage so many people all at once.

It’s not that he didn’t have money, but handling this matter on his own may provoke others to nitpick, as the County Magistrate’s family also has political enemies.

Thinking carefully, the County Magistrate thought of Yin Shuangshuang, whose family was indeed compassionate. If she were to take the men, they certainly would not be treated harshly.

Additionally, the County Magistrate’s Wife had mentioned to the County Magistrate the words Yin Shuangshuang had previously spoken in praise of military generals. Clearly, in her heart, Yin Shuangshuang greatly admired General Feng, who protects the border, and certainly would not mistreat his soldiers.

Upon hearing this, Yin Shuangshuang felt it was like receiving a pillow when drowsy. She had been considering purchasing a batch of male servants to train into a powerful household guard for quite some time.

The reason she hadn’t acted upon it stemmed mainly from unpredictable human nature. As Yin Shuangshuang’s body was so weak that she gasped for breath after walking a few steps, she couldn’t use martial power to subdue hearts like in her previous world, making her reluctant to casually bring people home.

But these border warriors are different. They risked execution to kill barbarians for the people, withstood risk for justice. Firstly, this passes the test of character.
