Yongle three years.

Yueyang Houfu.

It was a late spring dawn. The dim light dyed the thin curtains white, and then spilled into the room through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the outlines of various furnishings and sundries. There was the faint sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking in the distance.

, giving this large house located deep in the Hou Mansion a bit of a market atmosphere.

There is a large bed that can accommodate four or five people. The bed is covered with a mosquito net. Through the exquisite carvings on the mosquito net, you can see the figures of several people under the bed, rising and falling evenly with their breathing.

They were the figures of three people, not located in the center of the entire bed, but to the right. The corner of the quilt was lifted due to too much heat, revealing white arms and messy hair.

On the free left side of the big bed, a big cat weighing more than ten kilograms curled up and fell asleep, enjoying the reassuring smell of the mosquito net and purring slightly.

The big cat's coat color is very beautiful. It is off-white all over. Only the legs and the tip of the tail are black. The hair is long and soft, like a big hair ball.

"Well..." The woman closest to the big cat moved and stretched out her slender arms. It seemed that she wanted to reach out of the tent to get something, but she accidentally touched the big cat's body and was blocked by him.

The big cat turned over, yawned, and purred louder, but made no move to make way for the woman's arm.

Probably because she didn't want to wake others, the woman straightened her upper body slightly and tried again, but still failed.

The moon-white bellyband lay quietly on the small cabinet beside the bed, only three inches away from the woman's fingertips, but she couldn't get it out.

"If my husband sees this, he will laugh at my short hands again." The woman sighed helplessly, lay down again, pulled up the corner of the quilt to cover her jade-like body, and at the same time looked at her other arm.

The arm was pressed by a young man and was already numb. She tried to pull her arm out from under the man and pushed the man's body. Unexpectedly, the man moved. Not only did she not let the woman pull out her arm, but instead

He hugged her into his arms and muttered: "Little Hua'er, don't make trouble."

On the other side of the man, another woman was lying on her side facing the man. She was sleeping sweetly, with a slight blush on her cheeks, and she didn't know what kind of dream she had. The man's movement woke her up, and she

Opening her beautiful eyes, she looked at the woman whose arm was being held down by the man and silently made a mouth gesture.

"Good morning."

The woman whom the man called "Little Hua'er" glanced at her suppressed arm from the corner of her eyes, and mouthed: "My hand is numb."

The woman opposite smiled slightly and shook her head helplessly.

When the sky outside the window became brighter, the man on the bed finally woke up, moved the muscles on his cheeks, and removed a strand of the woman's hair that made him itchy. Then he looked at the two ladies beside him: "Good morning.

,Ling'er, Xiao Shu, how did you sleep last night?"

The woman lying on her side kissed him on the side of his cheek and said with a smile: "Thanks to your kindness, I slept very well. As for whether Sister Jingshu did the same, I don't know." After that, she looked at Li Jingshu slyly.

Blinked.

Until now, Li Jingshu was still "hooked" in Lan Qiao's arms. While saying, "I slept soundly, too," she calmly withdrew her numbed arms from under Lan Qiao's body, feeling long and relaxed.

Take a breath.

The big cat felt the movement of the three people here, Gulu stood up, jumped between Lan Qiao and Li Jingshu, nuzzled on the left, nudged on the right, and barked twice from time to time, trying its best to act coquettishly.

Feng Yeling sat up, touched the soft long hair on the big cat's back, and said with a smile: "As for coquettishness, as long as it is here, it seems that nothing will happen to us."

Lan Qiao picked up the big cat, rubbed its neck and said, "This glutinous rice ball was bullied a lot when we were in Jiangpu. Now that we have brought it to Yueyang, it has become a rich cat. Hey, it's quite heavy."

Li Jingshu stretched out a finger and let the big cat named Tangyuan keep sniffing, and then said with a smile: "The master is different now, and the cat is naturally proud of it. Now this is the cat of the Hou Mansion, how can it be?"

Is it comparable to an ordinary little wild cat?"

A subtle knocking sound came from the front yard. It was the sound of the maid knocking on the cat bowl.

The big cat trembled all over, no longer caring about being coquettish, turned over, stepped on Li Jingshu's leg, and ran out.

"You little white-eyed wolf!" Li Jingshu grinned and scolded, "You know how to eat, but you still eat when you are so heavy!"

At this time, Xia Shuang came into the house and waited on Lan Qiao to wash and change clothes. Feng Yeling and Li Jingshu were brought into the ear room by the other two maids to wash and dress up.

The family arrived in Yueyang three years ago. Because the residence of the Marquis of Yueyang was larger than their former residence in Peiping, Li Jingshu took the initiative and recruited a new group of servants through various channels.

In addition to Xia Shuang, Shi Miaoer and the Lu sisters who had been following them, she added eight healthy servants and sixteen maids to the house. They were all from poor backgrounds and were grateful to them and were very hardworking and hardworking.

When the little sparrow was in the capital, she happened to meet a Taizhou scholar who came to Beijing to prepare for the exam. He had known her since the war against the Japanese, and they developed a crush on each other. Later, Lan Qiao decided to marry the scholar.

Shi Miaoer was promoted to the "big maid" in the mansion because of her ability in handling affairs, and was responsible for managing all the servants and all the details such as the entry and exit of property in the mansion.

A few months after arriving in Yueyang, Li Jingshu, who was already pregnant, successfully gave birth to a son, Lan Qiao's eldest son, whose facial features were quite similar to Lan Qiao's.

In the same year, Feng Yeling finally became pregnant, and the next year she gave birth to twins Lanqiao's daughter.

While everyone was busy with the new son and two daughters, Xia Shuang, under Feng Yeling's arrangement, filled Lanqiao's house. After some simple rituals, she was promoted from maid to concubine, and Feng Yeling

Their relationship also changed from master and servant to sisters.

At the same time, the relocation of Chushui City was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

With Hua Yuxi's relationship, it is not difficult for Lan Qiao and others to communicate with Chushui City. Everyone in Chushui City is also willing to find another place to live and live uprightly from now on.

The entire relocation process lasted for nearly a year. During this period, everyone worked together and three marriages were born.

The first is Bai Luqiu. This girl who was once known as "Little Hua Yuxi" has been actively cooperating with Hua Yuxi's treatment since she was tortured to the point of breaking her leg. Although she could not recover as before, she was finally able to walk independently with her stubbornness.

And he played a lot of role in the relocation of Chushui City.

Her strength and self-confidence impressed Xu Wuchen, a young swordsman from Lingyu Hall, who woke up from his illusory dreams. Finally, he married Bai Luqiu and became a fisherman on the shores of Dongting Lake.

They also shoulder the mission of raising the "young master" An Yixin. On weekdays, Xu Wuchen goes out to fish, while Bai Luqiu repairs his fishing nets at home, then sends An Yixin to a private school and prepares meals for the family.

An Yixin has encountered such changes since he was a child, but he is very sensible and obedient. In addition, the couple respects each other like guests, so they live an ordinary life with flavor.

Hua Yuxi's other two subordinates in the Goddess Building, the two brothers Zhongli and Zhongyan, also became familiar with the Lu sisters who were following Hua Yuxi when they moved together. They are both twins, so they naturally have many ideas and thoughts that are difficult for outsiders to understand.

topic, Hua Yuxi saw the signs of a relationship between them, and based on her principle of "matching people to build virtue", she brought the two couples together. Her brother Zhongli married his sister Lu Xuerou, and his sister Lu Bingrou married her younger brother Zhong Yan.

.

Since the Lu sisters wanted to stay and work in the Hou Mansion, the Zhong brothers were also willing to continue to follow Hua Yuxi, so the two brothers became the guards of the manor, helping the family deal with some daring scoundrels.

Lan Qiao wiped his face with a hot towel, recalling the three ordinary years in Yueyang, and his heart was full of tranquility and fulfillment. He returned the towel to Xia Shuang, stretched out his hand to tug her soft face, and was about to tease her a few words

, I heard someone shouting outside the house: "Brother Lanqiao, come out to eat quickly. Even the dumpling guy is full, and he is still hungry."
