"When spring comes next year, I will make Li Shimin sweep through the entire Tang Dynasty with unstoppable momentum."
"Anyone who stands in my way will be killed, whether they are gods or Buddhas."
......
April 24th.
Summer Solstice.
Having experienced the lush growth and vibrant life of late spring in February and March, the countryside is now verdant and lush.
As we traveled through the wilderness, the scent of the grass gradually became stronger.
The weather has also started to get noticeably warmer.
The hour of Wei (1-3 PM).
At the height of the sunlight, at the location of the south gate of Yushui City.
Two carriages, kicking up dust, gradually drove into Yushui City.
Looking at the familiar buildings and streets on both sides, Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao, and the others outside the carriage relaxed.
The previous listlessness seemed to have lessened considerably, and as they drove the carriage home, Qu Feiyan and the other women felt a surge of anticipation, eager to see what the expanded courtyard looked like after three months of separation.
Soon, driven by the women, the carriage gradually entered Chu Qinghe's courtyard.
Looking into the distance, the two houses that used to be separated on the side of the street have now been merged into one.
Even the original main gate was moved to the side by about two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).
As soon as the two carriages stopped at the door, several figures quickly slipped out.
Subsequently, the disciples of Yihua Palace, Shenshui Palace, and Sun Moon Sect bowed to Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and the other four women who had just alighted from the carriage.
After Dongfang Bubai and the other women gave them a signal, Sang Sanniang straightened up and said in a low voice, "Reporting to the leader, the expansion has been completed according to Young Master Chu's construction plan. I have carefully checked it several times to make sure there are no errors."
"Throughout the process, my subordinates and friends from Yihua Palace and Shenshui Palace kept watch around to make sure that no one broke into the house."
In response to Sang San Niang's words, Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly.
"Well done. Has anything happened at the Sun Moon Cult lately?"
Upon hearing this, Sang San Niang quickly replied, "Aside from some conflicts between martial artists and minor factions, there are no other problems."
After a brief inquiry to ascertain the recent situation of the Sun Moon Cult, Dongfang Bubai waved away Sang Sanniang and the other disciples of the Sun Moon Cult.
The disciples from Shenshui Palace and Yihua Palace also withdrew.
After confirming that everything was alright, Qu Feiyan hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed inside.
A moment later, Chu Qinghe and the others entered the courtyard.
After crossing the front yard and entering the inner courtyard, the situation of the courtyard immediately came into view of Chu Qinghe and the others.
Compared to before the expansion, the main house and the rooms where Dongfang Bubai and others lived remained unchanged.
The adjacent yard was simply demolished and rebuilt.
The only empty room on the west wall has been demolished and turned into an archway that leads directly into the courtyard that Jellyfish Princess used to buy.
In the center of the courtyard is a pond nearly three zhang in size, with weeping willows growing upside down, all lush and verdant.
The entire courtyard is paved with blue bricks, with scattered pebbles, artificial hills, and arched bridges.
Although simple, it is elegant.
There is also a pavilion next to the pond, with two tables and chairs for the girls to use when they play mahjong or chess.
Five additional rooms and a dedicated wine cellar were built along the west and north walls of the courtyard.
Compared to Chu Qinghe's original residence, this place now looks like a specially expanded villa.
From now on, whether it's day or night, there will be a larger space for cultivation or simply passing the time.
After touring the villa, Dongfang Bubai and his companions nodded in approval, quite satisfied with the expanded villa.
After the tour was over, Qu Feiyan and the others began to tidy up the house.
As usual, Chu Qinghe took out a rocking chair and lay down on it, not wanting to move at all.
Chu Qinghe glanced at Wanwan, who had joined the cleaning team, and chuckled inwardly.
As the house gets bigger, there are naturally more places to clean every day.
Now that there are a few more people in the house, it's good that the work is divided, so that Qu Feiyan and the other women don't have to spend too much time cleaning every day.
Thinking about it, Chu Qinghe put his hands behind his head and quietly felt the gentle rocking of the cradle beneath him.
Smelling the familiar fragrance of camellias in the courtyard, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh softly.
"It's better to go home!"
