There is a small town more than 30 miles away from Yingtian City. The name of the town is Xiacun.
A gurgling stream flows through the lower village, and on both sides of the stream are large tracts of reclaimed farmland.
There is a brand new villa in Hexi, it is called Xishan Villa.
This place was not planned by Fu Xiaoguan. Everything here was designed by Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun.
Dong Shulan, Yu Wenjun and Yan Xiaolou are now staying here. Everything here is built according to the appearance of the Xishan Villa in their memory.
Even the stream in the yard is the same.
A wine-making workshop was built outside the Xishan Villa. Among the group of people brought by Fu Xiaoguan and Wang Er, there was a former wine-making master. Naturally, the wine brewed in that workshop was Xishan Tianchun.
Dong Shulan filled the glasses of wine for Yu Wenyun and Yan Xiaolou.
Under the bright light, she looked at the newly built Xishan Villa and a smile appeared on her face.
"I think he will like this place very much."
Yu Wenjun nodded and said with a smile, "Shulan is thoughtful. From Yingtian City to Xiacun, there are traces of Daxia everywhere, and here, there is even more of the flavor of the past Linjiang days."
"Even I don't feel strange, just like the first time I went to Xishan Villa."
"This will be our home from now on. I think he will like to live here most of the time after he comes back."
"Um,"
Yan Xiaolou picked up the wine glass and said, "To be honest with you two sisters, when I first came to Yingtian Continent, I actually felt homesick a lot."
"Every night I would think back to Jinling, think of my grandfather, think of my father, and think of the Yan Mansion where I had lived for over ten years."
"But ever since Yingtian City was built, that feeling has gradually faded. Coming here, it makes my heart warm even more... This first glass of wine is for you two sisters!"
The three women raised their glasses without any formalities and drank a glass each.
"Ah, it's been almost four years since we last met. I was thinking..."
Dong Shulan put down his wine glass and sighed, "He walked out of Linjiang. It was a very difficult journey with many hardships."
"Back then, he was a playboy in Linjiang City, and his reputation wasn't very good. Otherwise... otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the guards to teach him a lesson."
"I never expected that it was that lecture that brought us together, right there in the West Hills Courtyard, starting with those two poems he wrote. Perhaps this was fate."
"At that time, I hope he can enter the government and get a position. If he can be promoted to a higher position, that would be the best. After all, it is a matter of honor for the family. What woman doesn't want her man to be upright and successful?"
"But later on... as he rose through the ranks, his official positions became increasingly high... until he became the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty, and then the Emperor of Daxia... I was actually extremely nervous."
"How do you put it?"
Dong Shulan filled three more glasses of wine, her lips curled up. "He has more and more women, and I feel bad after all. Sisters, please don't take it to heart. That's my honest feeling."
"But later I gradually figured it out. He was a man of great ability after all. Even when he became emperor, he didn't fill his harem. He had great love for me and for each of us, and that was enough."
"More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. We, once young, are now middle-aged women in our thirties. I only hope that in the years to come, he can remain true to his original heart and spend the rest of his life with us...with us. This is the beautiful life I seek."
Yu Wen, Yun Yan and Xiaolou nodded. This was not only Dong Shulan's expectation, but also the expectation of all of them.
Therefore, Dong Shulan was very concerned about the establishment of this Xiacun town and the construction of this Xishan villa. She felt that although this place was in a foreign country, this almost identical villa could always evoke his memories of the past.
"I think he has arrived in Daxia now."
Yu Wenjun looked up at the brilliant starry sky and said, "Didn't he say that he wouldn't go anywhere after returning from this trip to Daxia?"
"I'll stay here for the rest of my life, peacefully being his free and easy little landlord."
"But now the Yingtian Continent is so vast, and there are so many indigenous people on this continent. Although General Bai has subdued the indigenous people within a thousand miles, he said that there must be other countries further away!"
"I really don't want him to go on another expedition. I don't even want him to care about the affairs of Yingtian Continent anymore."
"We can live here as a family. Once shipping from Daxia to France becomes stable, we can go back to Daxia as a family from time to time. Isn't that great?"
"He's so tired. I hope he can have a good rest, just like the small landowner in Linjiang once did."
Although Yan Xiaolou had never participated in Fu Xiaoguan's life in Linjiang, she had heard Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun talk about it many times, and she had already understood it in her heart.
"I don't think he will care about those things anymore. After all, he gave up the throne of Daxia so decisively."
"Daxia has Tianci, as well as his group of good friends, like my brother, Brother Qin, Brother Ning, Yun Xiyan, and so on. With their assistance, as long as Daxia is safe, he can also rest assured."
"As for expanding the territory here... General Bai has established several military towns, completed weapons factories, and even set up a weapons research institute... I asked General Bai, and he meant it was for defense. Now that there are so many people here, they must have the strength to protect the safety of this place."
"So I also think he will settle down, so that we can all get together as a family and have fun together."
Dong Shulan raised her glass, a hint of anticipation in her eyes, and unconsciously recited the poem he had written for her in Linjiang that no one except Qin Bingzhong knew:
"Where can I send my idle feelings after separation?
The early orioles and swallows are longing for each other.
Today I am wandering around recalling those days, my lonely thoughts are known only to the waning moon and falling flowers.
When I was little, I didn’t know the way along the river, but I clearly arrived at Wuyi.
Just as we were about to say goodbye, the sweet dream vanished when the rooster crowed at the window.
"Let's have a drink together, and when he returns, we'll ask him to write some more poetry to pass down his legacy!"
The three of them had just raised their glasses when Bai Yulian suddenly flew over in the night!
He was dressed in white, carrying a big knife and a gun!
He landed lightly in front of the three people, his still handsome face full of seriousness.
He bowed and said:
"Madams, the young master has arrived in Yingtian City!"
The three of them were startled, and Dong Shulan instantly felt something strange—
Fu Xiaoguan returned to Yingtian City at night, and even if he wanted to see them again, he would arrange it during the day tomorrow.
He doesn't need to be so anxious.
He didn't even need to send Bai Yulian in person!
"What happened?"
"...Master said it was a small matter."
It’s no small matter!
The three women looked at each other and stood up almost at the same time.
"Let's go and respond to Tiancheng!"
"The carriage is ready, please come in, ladies!"
The wine is on the table.
The fragrance spreads everywhere.
The lantern is still lit, but the person under the lantern has disappeared.
