And so, after the guests had all left, Huang Lao and Ziyou naturally settled down in Xinghe Village as the "Grandpa Zhiyin".
"Uncle Huang, please sleep in this room. If there is anything we have done poorly, please forgive us."
Yao Yulin made up the beds for Huang Lao and Ziyou, and assigned them to the innermost room, feeling a little uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"No, no, Ziyou and I are very grateful to Aunt Yao for taking care of us. We've troubled you these past few days!"
"This place is great, we love it!"
Old Huang, however, continued to wave his hand happily and praise the old man.
Yao Yulin was relieved. "Then you should get some rest!"
"Goodnight, Grandpa Huang..."
"See you tomorrow, Brother Ziyou!"
Zhiyin and Zhihua greeted them with sweet smiles and then followed Yao Yuning to the largest master bedroom.
Originally, it should have been three of them, each with their own room, but in the end, two strange men ended up staying there.
Before fully understanding the true character of the two individuals, Zhiyin was still somewhat uneasy about living separately.
In fact, upon careful consideration, Zhiyin now feels that agreeing to this matter was too hasty.
In modern times, this wouldn't be a problem, but in ancient times, the three of them were all women, and there was no man in the house, so they should have avoided suspicion.
With two strange men suddenly living in the house, people with ulterior motives will probably gossip about it.
"Sigh, but there's nothing we can do about it!"
After all, they couldn't refuse the people brought by Magistrate Jun, otherwise they would offend him.
Zhiyin could only be thankful that the villagers who came to the banquet during the day had all heard that it was Magistrate Jun's request.
The three of them didn't just sit idle, casually putting aside their thoughts.
Instead, they carefully and solemnly arranged the screens, tea sets, and ornaments given by the guests, as well as the pots, pans, brooms, and other household items given by the villagers who attended the banquet.
"Oh my, Yinyin, look, this is a silk down comforter, it's so expensive!"
"It feels so soft and smooth, so comfortable!"
Yao Yulin excitedly touched the quilt, her mouth agape in a wide smile. She couldn't contain her joy and was beaming with happiness.
"And this fabric is so beautiful! It's the first time I've ever seen such brightly colored fabric."
As Yao Yulin spoke, she held up the fabric in front of Zhiyin and Zhihua, and looked up with great interest, saying, "Mother will make two outfits for each of you in a few days. My daughter is so beautiful, she will look great in these clothes, and she will definitely be no less beautiful than the daughters of wealthy families!"
"Hehe~ Thank you, Mom. You've worked so hard. Don't just think about us; you need to make one for yourself too!"
Upon hearing this, Zhiyin immediately became happy and took Yao Yulin's arm, acting coquettishly.
Zhihua also grabbed Yao Yulin's other arm and sweetly called her "Mother".
Seeing that Yao Yulin seemed to be preparing to pack up the silk quilt, Zhiyin chuckled and shook her head helplessly as she stepped forward to stop her, "Mother, if you like it, why pack it up? Just use it directly. The three of us can experience it tonight."
As she spoke, she spread the quilt directly on Yao Yulin's bed, and touching the exceptionally smooth and soft fabric, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness for it.
Yao Yulin gently poked Zhiyin's forehead, looking helpless, "Alright, Mother will listen to you!"
"By the way, Yinyin, who exactly is Old Master Huang? I'm really afraid that if I don't entertain these wealthy gentlemen properly, I might offend someone unintentionally!"
At this point, Yao Yulin felt a little lost and worried, and was very uncomfortable.
"It's alright, Mom. Just treat him like an ordinary old man. Old Huang seems to have a good personality. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Knowing that this was too sudden for Yao Yulin and that she would be at a loss, Zhiyin quickly comforted her.
"Yes, Mother, Grandpa Huang is such a kind person. He said that Brother Ziyou is highly skilled in martial arts and can teach me martial arts. He will even take me flying!"
Zhihua clearly adored the two elders, swinging her toes and describing them with a bright smile and animated expression, her eyes full of longing.
Thinking back to how Ziyou had 'whooshed' up to the tree with her, Zhihua couldn't help but feel excited.
"Sister, I want to learn light-body skills from Brother Ziyou."
Zhihua looked at Zhiyin with bright eyes, seeking her opinion.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Zhiyin was truly astonished; she never imagined that there really was such a thing as light-body kung fu in ancient times!
That's like flying over rooftops and scaling walls! Who wouldn't dream of that?
Zhiyin couldn't help but feel excited and a little restless. She wondered if her daughter, who was 15, could still learn.
"yes!"
Zhihua seemed still immersed in the joy of soaring through the air, and answered without hesitation.
"Good boy, since Grandpa Huang and Brother Ziyou are willing to teach you, then you should learn well. Especially Grandpa Huang, with his age, he has more experience and knowledge than most people. You can definitely learn a lot from him that you can't learn in the village."
Zhiyin looked at Zhihua tenderly, patted her head, and affirmed her.
Upon hearing this, Yao Yulin couldn't help but feel happy, and her attitude towards Huang Lao and the other man changed.
I was worried before, not knowing how to treat the two of them.
Now it seems we know.
The fact that the two were willing to impart their knowledge of painting made them practically like teachers!
"Okay, sister, I'll study hard!"
Zhihua jumped up excitedly and solemnly raised her little fist to cheer herself up.
"Hahaha…"
