"The basic structure is similar, with some adjustments to the details." Yun Ruoxi tapped the painting on the wall with her fingertips, her tone calm.
Yun Ruochen leaned against the carved door frame and said half-jokingly, "My sister is really generous. She even prepared all the toiletries."
Yun Ruokun knocked on his brother's head and said in a deep voice, "Sister, you take care of so much. Don't take it for granted."
Yun Ruohui shook the purse in his hand and smiled slyly: "Grandpa and grandma have prepared the money long ago, and will never let my sister spend it for nothing."
Yun Ruofeng leaned against the porch pillar and raised an eyebrow: "In my opinion, the combined wealth of the Duke of Ying and the Xiao family may not be comparable to my sister's small treasury."
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue walked side by side, while Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan tacitly protected them on the left and right. The four of them were surrounded by the intimacy of newlyweds.
As soon as Yun Ruochen finished his teasing words, Yun Ruoxi arched her eyebrows and dimples on her cheeks: "It's not as exaggerated as my brother said."
She smiled, the jade bracelet on her wrist jingled softly, and she blended in with the laughter of the crowd.
When they reached the third courtyard, Zhao supported her white-haired grandmother and slowly walked into the main house.
The old grandmother leaned on a carved cane, her cloudy eyes filled with relief: "I'm sorry to have tired you young ones."
The others gathered and went to the front hall. The copper bells on the eaves rang, as if to add to the joy of the housewarming.
The eight-immortal table in the front hall was filled with tea and snacks. Xiao Jing sat upright in the main seat, his dark brocade robe making his figure look even more upright.
He picked up the celadon teacup and glanced at the family and friends in the room. "Today, our two families have gathered together. The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was able to avoid the confiscation of property, all thanks to Xixi, Xiaoxue, and the Duke of Ying's Mansion for their generous assistance."
After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank the tea in the cup, his Adam's apple rolling in gratitude.
Duke Yingguo's silver beard trembled slightly as he raised his glass first. His aged voice was filled with unquestionable authority: "Since we are already relatives, there is no need to discuss matters that are our responsibility. However, if these two boys from the Xiao family dare to mistreat my granddaughter..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan both stood up and responded in unison: "We will definitely live up to your trust!"
Xiao Jing smiled and took over the conversation: "Don't worry, old man, since they are the daughters-in-law of the Xiao family, they are the treasures of the family."
What he didn't say was that the Xiao family's current stability was all due to the efforts of his two daughters-in-law.
Amidst the aroma of tea, everyone smiled at each other, and where their eyes met, there was a friendship that transcended life and death.
Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Yun Ruoxi said, "Droughts have already occurred in many places, so we must make preparations in advance."
Mu Ruxue: "That's right. Although we have been consciously stockpiling food during this period, this food is only enough for our family to live on. It will probably not be easy to last for ten years."
Yun Ruoxi had her own ideas. Although there was enough food in the space, their two families, including the recruited guards, had to live there for hundreds of years.
But she also doesn't want everyone to be too dependent on the space. What should everyone do if something happens one day and the space is locked, or if she is not around?
"Although my master left me a lot of food, I still think we should prepare more in advance."
Mu Ruxue: "As for the 35 mu of grain we planted in Taohua Village, we estimate that they will be ready for harvest in more than a month. This time we are planting two high-yield potatoes. When we find the island, we can use these 35 mu of potatoes as potato seeds and plant them on the island in advance."
Grandfather put down his teacup and said slowly, "We've recently scoured all the surrounding islands with a helicopter, but we haven't found a suitable place to serve as our paradise. This matter must be put on the agenda now. The drought has already occurred, and if we don't prepare soon, it may be too late."
Xiao Jing thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure you've searched all the surrounding islands? Are there any other places you haven't searched yet?"
Yun Ruoxi thought about how everyone had been busy with renovations recently and how they hadn't been out looking for a place for a month. "There were indeed many places we hadn't looked for before, but we were busy with the renovations, so we were delayed. Starting tomorrow, we'll continue our search."
Mu Ruxue: "That's right. Nowadays, many people can fly helicopters. If we all go together to look for it, it will be much faster."
Everyone was busy during this period. Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were busy decorating the new house. The five brothers of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion all took the remaining guards to learn how to drive and fly helicopters.
As long as it was possible to learn, Yun Ruoxi learned all the vehicles in the space, and even a lot of firearms.
Since all these 1,000 guards have recognized their master, Yun Ruoxi equipped each of them with flying swords.
Now the combat effectiveness of all the people in the Duke of England's mansion is ten times that of one, and their safety is greatly guaranteed.
Xiao Jingrui: "Okay, then we will go look for the paradise starting tomorrow."
Yun Ruoxi: "Then Xiaoxue and I will stay at home and prepare to build the things we need."
Mu Ruxue: "That's right. Xixi will go to the master to discuss the construction materials. I will contact all the brick factories in the surrounding area to purchase the blue bricks and stones needed for building houses and cities."
The eldest brother said, "In that case, the five of us brothers will help to go shopping together."
Finally, it was my grandfather who spoke up: "We don't have that many helicopters. Only a few people will go out to search for the island. Everyone else should go out and buy bricks and stones."
Now everyone has a storage ring and a flying sword, and even their martial arts skills have improved a lot, so it feels safer to send them out to do things.
Even so, Yun Ruoxi was still worried that her good things would be wasted. "Although everyone's martial arts skills are pretty good now, when you're out there, two fists can't beat four hands. It would be best if we had ten people and split into small groups. I'll give everyone storage bags with larger storage spaces, and we can store all the bricks and stones we've collected in those bags and bring them back."
Xiao Jing: "Now that the drought has occurred, it's best for everyone not to leave Lingnan. There haven't been any refugees in the states within Lingnan yet, but that's not necessarily the case outside. Spies reported widespread drought in the northwest region. It's estimated that within two months, we'll also have refugees in Lingnan. This procurement will last for two months. After two months, no matter how much you've received, you must return."
Mu Ruxue: "We haven't found a suitable island yet. If we find one, we'll have to withdraw everyone back to build the city. We'll still be responsible for the procurement."
Yun Ruoxi: "We can cooperate with all the brick factories in the nearest cities. We will buy all the bricks they produce every day. For those farther away, we will go out and collect them ourselves. For those closer, we can have them deliver them to us."
