Lü Tu transmigrates to Wuchuan, one of the six garrisons of the Great Yu Dynasty's border. Here, order is chaotic, the folkways are fierce, and the Great Yu Dynasty, which implements the prefe...
Lu Tu found that look somewhat familiar, yet also very strange; this complex feeling made his vision blur.
The ordinary people in front of him, dressed in coarse linen clothes, seemed to overlap with the sincere era of his previous life, making it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and illusion.
The shout of "Long live the people!" once again interrupted Lü Tu's thoughts. He looked into the distance and saw Song Yuxi supporting Nangong Huiyu, with Jiang Wanyu and Wang Miaoling by their side. They were all smiling at him, their eyes full of admiration and overflowing love.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
While the people were still cheering and jumping for joy, Lü Tu took the opportunity to slip out of the crowd and hand over the celebration of this achievement to everyone.
He quietly approached his wives and took them home.
Sitting in Song Yuxi's room, Cuiguo, Lingdang, and the others had already prepared a pot of hot water at Song Yuxi's instruction.
After helping Lü Tu remove his armor, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh as he soaked in the bathtub.
Wang Miaoling dismissed Cuiguo and the other maids from the room. She and Jiang Wanyu then took turns pouring water on Lü Tu's shoulder and lathering him with soap.
Lu Tu closed his eyes comfortably. After not closing his eyes for a whole day and night, the heavy fatigue was swept away at this moment, and even his somewhat drowsy mind became unusually clear.
"Thank you for your hard work, ladies."
"Husband, please don't say that. It's you who are working hard while doing great things outside."
Song Yuxi also wet a towel in the bathtub and wiped Lü Tu's arms, but Lü Tu snatched it away, saying, "Yuxi, you're still in your postpartum period, you can't..."
Song Yuxi stubbornly blocked Lü Tu's hand, tucked her slightly disheveled hair behind her ear, and smiled, "The day after my mother gave birth to my eldest brother, she took on the role of a grain transport official to deliver grain to my father. Why do I have to be so delicate?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Tu was taken aback. Wang Miaoling and Jiang Wanyu were present, and Song Yuxi was actually taking the initiative to talk about her family background, which was a very dangerous thing.
Seeing that Wang Miaoling and Jiang Wanyu looked at Song Yuxi with unwavering composure and admiration in their eyes, Lü Tu knew that they had been exchanging information in private.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but nod to myself. It seemed that their relationship was already very good, otherwise they wouldn't have been so frank about the past.
"Alright, I'll be a real man today!"
Nangong Huiyu, with her large pregnant belly sticking out, giggled and said, "Husband, you're a big man every day, and you're always so big!"
Hearing this, even Song Yuxi, who had a long-standing relationship with Lü Tu, blushed deeply. Not to mention Wang Miaoling and Jiang Wanyu, whose faces were flushed all the way down to their necks.
Lu Tu teased, "Little Yu, you little vixen, once you're done with your postpartum confinement, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Nangong Huiyu laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Oh dear, husband, I'm so scared!"
Originally, all of them were incredibly beautiful, but under the dim, flickering oil lamp, they looked even more breathtaking.
Lu Tu suddenly sprang to his feet, startling Song Yuxi, who was wiping his body. She then looked up at Lu Tu in surprise: "Husband, you've been out for a whole day and night. Don't you feel tired at all?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Miaoling and Jiang Wanyu noticed the thing protruding from the bathtub water and gasped in surprise: "Husband...you're amazing!"
At this moment, Lü Tu grabbed Wang Miaoling, who was standing next to him, and dragged her into the water with a scream. Then he sealed her lips with his.
The other three didn't expect Lü Tu to be so excited, but because of what had happened that night, they knew that Lü Tu was indeed very happy, so they let Lü Tu do whatever he wanted.
Soon, Lü Tu carried Wang Miaoling out of the bathtub. He then turned to look at Song Yuxi and immediately dismissed his crazy idea: "Yuxi is still in her postpartum period. In a few days..."
Then she looked at Nangong Huiyu, who was quite carefree, and smiled at Lü Tu: "Husband, I'm not afraid!"
Lu Tu glared at him: "I'm scared!"
In the end, she could only look to Jiang Wanyu. Jiang Wanyu was introverted and usually very compliant to Lü Tu's every whim. At this moment, she naturally took off her white dress.
Lu Tu hugged the two of them, feeling incredibly happy: "Actually, after we got separate rooms, I'm not as happy as before. It seems we should build a bigger house in the future."
Soon, the room was filled with a woman's giggles and Lu Tu's heavy, suppressed breathing. The seductive sounds lingered for a long time.
The next day, Lü Tu slept until the sun was high in the sky before lazily getting up.
Song Yuxi was already chatting with the others inside the house when she saw Lü Tu wake up. She got up and brought him breakfast that was kept warm in a pot.
Plain white porridge with pickled vegetables, and a steamer of mutton buns—Lu Tu's daily diet was quite simple, almost the same as all the villagers: millet porridge and pickled vegetables.
However, the group knew that Lu Tu was overworked and wanted to give him some nourishment.
In these chaotic times, being able to eat a bowl of thick white rice porridge and then put a mutton bun in your mouth is an incredibly satisfying experience.
"My wife, who made this? The craftsmanship is truly excellent!"
Song Yuxi looked at Cuiguo with praise: "It was made by Cuiguo. It is indeed very good. She has worked hard these past few days."
Cui Guo blushed and lowered her head: "Thank you for the compliment, Madam. It's not hard work for me. If you and your son-in-law like it, I will make it every day from now on."
Lu Tu nodded: "You can do it every day, but don't do mine anymore."
Upon hearing this, the women, knowing Lü Tu as they did, naturally understood that Lü Tu was still used to being frugal. Even though they had plenty of food, Lü Tu would still subconsciously want to save the white rice, white flour, and mutton for them to eat.
This touched the hearts of several women. How could they not be moved by a husband who always kept them in his heart?
"My husband...you are so good to us."
Nangong Huiyu was rarely moved, so Lu Tu naturally couldn't miss the opportunity. He grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "Silly girl, I just don't want others to know that I eat and drink recklessly whenever I have a little money and food. It would affect my ability to lead the army."
How could the women not know that Lü Tu was lying? The entire village owes its current prosperity to Lü Tu. Even if they had plenty of fish and meat every day, let alone rice, flour, and mutton, the other villagers probably wouldn't complain about Lü Tu.
Song Yuxi nodded and said, "Since my husband has such a noble idea, then from today onwards, we can make it just for Xiaoyu. The rest of us can eat the same food as my husband."
Lu Tu was helpless upon hearing this; it was his first wife who knew how to control him.
"Okay, let's follow this standard every day from now on, and we can all eat together!"
