Wei Ci will send someone over tonight.

The Huo family couple and Cen Ang sat together and discussed the matter.

"How many people can he send?"

He Yi asked

“No more than thirty people, too many people, too many targets, the magistrate will investigate,” Huo Shuwen replied.

"Is he afraid of the county magistrate investigating?"

“A county magistrate from another region might not be afraid, but this is Pingyang County. Beyond the pass lies the grassland. Wang Zheng’s memorial will be sent directly to the Emperor’s court,” Cen Ang said.

He Yi sighed, her face full of worry. They've already sent people to their door; how could she not be worried?

She glanced at the two people in front of her who were eating sunflower seeds and oranges, and thought they were both incredibly carefree.

"Don't sigh, Yi."

Huo Shuwen placed the peeled orange into her hand and said...

It's alright.

Cen Ang spat out the melon seed shells and said

"Unless Wei Ci sends imperial guards or the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which are of course acceptable."

"..."

This is what they were talking about.

One said it was nothing.

A person who looks down on the other side

Disregard

"I'll go cook now, sis, you can have dinner here tonight."

He Yi didn't want to be with them anymore and wanted to stay away from them.

"Yes, sister, take Long'er away after you finish eating."

Huo Shuwen continued

He felt that he was full of energy and vitality these past few days, even more so than before, and decided to take advantage of the men sent by the corrupt official to practice his skills.

Cen Ang nodded

Huo Shuwen suddenly paused, thought for a few moments, and continued.

"Why don't you take Ah Yi with you too?"

"This is just a small plot of land, with these few rooms. Nobody can run away. Tonight, nobody needs to move. Let the instructors practice with the girls."

"Yes," the man agreed.

Inside the Fengyue Tower

The little dumpling was doing her job. Before her biological parents came looking for her, her job was to do odd jobs in the building. Huo Xiaolong was running up and down the stairs with a dozen black clothes in his arms.

"Oh dear, I don't want to wear this, it's too tight."

The teenage girls gathered in Chunying's room, picking and choosing the black clothes on the table.

Ruyi complained that the clothes were too small, even though the measurements were different when they were taken.

"Oh my, our Ruyi is developing so well!"

Zhiyin teased, and then rubbed his hand on her chest.

"My soulmate! You lecherous womanizer!"

Hehe~

"Mine don't fit anymore either."

Chunying looked at the clothes that were stretched out of shape and said...

"What are we going to do? We need it tonight!"

"How about we wrap it up?" Zhihua suggested.

"Okay, I'll make do for one more day."

Ruyi took off her night clothes, and two maids held out white cotton cloth, which the young girl wrapped around herself while twirling around.

"Sister Chunying"

The little dumpling came running in with its short legs.

"Give!"

She then handed over a dozen clothes.

"My brother gave it to you!"

"Your brother?"

Liu Xu said with a gossipy expression.

It's human nature to join in the fun. When the girls heard Huo Xiaolong's words, they stopped trying on the clothes and stared at her eagerly.

At this moment, Chunying's face was already flushed red.

"Yeah, my brother prepared it!"

"Is that the handsome young man from the Huo family? He's really good-looking; I'm even envious!" a girl said.

"That's for sure. If she weren't pretty, would she make our courtesan blush?"

"Was it that time when our Long'er got into a fight outside and then stepped in to help that young man?"

Everyone turned their attention to Chunying.

It made the sunset even more dazzling.

"Everyone has one! Everyone has one!"

Huo Xiaolong placed the top night-clothes garment in Chunying's arms, then held the clothes up for his sisters to take.

Huo Xiaocheng bumped into the tailor from the fabric shop taking measurements that day.

Spring Cherry will be even more beautiful in a few years.

The flowers have not yet bloomed.

The boy stopped the young tailor and said...

"Make all the sizes listed here one size larger and send them to me."

If he were to give one to each person individually, it would be too conspicuous. He could simply use his sister's name to give one to each of them.

He can bring Chunying's dress over and alter it.

"Hey? Why is my outfit different from yours?" Ruyi removed her bodice and changed into her night clothes, saying.

It is indeed big.

But Chunying's tiny waist is very obvious!

As you watch her, a gust of wind rushes upwards from below.

"That's right, Chunying's dress is fitted at the waist."

"Look at him, look at him! Who wouldn't be moved by such a thoughtful young man?"

Liu Xu grew up in Jiangnan, and sometimes when chatting with her sisters, she would utter a few words in the soft Wu dialect.

Once Huo Xiaocheng got his hands on the clothes, he began to figure out how to alter them.

Spring Cherry Blossoms are the most beautiful

So what if it's a night-clothes outfit? Night-clothes outfits have to look good too!

The boy, feeling embarrassed, asked his mother for advice on how to correct and slim down his waist.

The stitches on the clothes are not dense.

but

It was his intention

Chunying smiled, secretly delighted.

"Alright, alright, we'll just have to make do with a belt for now."

Erhei, who was warming himself by the fire in the kitchen, listened to the noises upstairs.

Do women take this long to change clothes? His junior sister doesn't.

Er Ya smeared a layer of honey on the chicken leg and handed it to him.

"Senior brother, it's time to eat!"

Erhei wasn't bothered by the heat; he simply tore off a piece of meat with his teeth and said...

"tasty!"

He discovered

Fengyue Tower

Zhang's mom's cooking is the best.

Secondly, there's his junior sister.

The remaining chefs are not quite up to par, so Long'er needs to come up with a few more dishes that are palatable.

Look at his junior sister, she's gotten so thin from practicing martial arts lately.

If Er Ya knew what he was thinking, she'd probably pick up a hammer and start a fight with Er Hei right now.

She's finally managed to catch up with the girls in the building for a few days, so senior brother, don't hold her back!

"Is everything changed?"

Mrs. Zhang has a loud voice; when she speaks, the whole building can hear her.

Okay, okay

"You're here, Aunt Zhang."

The girls tied their hair into ponytails, with several braids among them.

There was a short jacket over the night clothes.

Arm guards, wrist guards, waist protectors

If you want to do something well, you must first have the right tools. Make sure to prepare all the necessary supplies for them.

Ever since martial arts training started in the building, Mother Cen has been preparing for everyone.

"Everyone knows what happened tonight, right?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

"Clear"

"You'll have to suffer tonight; move all your bedding to the living room to sleep."

If these girls are scattered in different rooms, they'll be too easy targets.

They were all gathered together, and the martial arts masters who stayed behind watched over them, so that if anything went wrong during practice, they could be supervised.

The girls nodded and bowed, then led their maids to tidy up the bedding.

"Then I want to stay in the lobby too!"

Huo Xiaolong raised his little hand and said

"Okay, stay here."

Mrs. Zhang picked up the little dumpling, weighed it in her hands a couple of times, and said...

"It's gotten so heavy lately."

"Your mother and I are such good cooks, look how much taller my sisters have grown!"

Huo Xiaolong pointed a finger at the girls who were going upstairs.

"You!"

Zhang's mother admired her for a while before putting her down.
