814 A beautiful woman with deep feelings
After all, they are still young, not yet eighteen years old, and still carry a touch of the innocence and naivety unique to teenagers.
He nodded gently and said softly, "Father has made the decision alone. I can hardly repay Brother Shen in such a short time. What gift should I send to Madam?"
Jin Xiong nodded slightly and said softly, "I've already prepared something. It's not very valuable, and Madam doesn't lack such valuable items. A token of affection is best!"
Jin Luo nodded, not asking any further questions, thinking to himself, 'After resting, I should hurry back and check on things.'
As night approached, Liu Qianqian, Jingzhai, and Xixi all went out to the main hall to chat with Shuangshuang and Zuo Shi. He Chen, of course, did not go. If He Chen were there, the atmosphere would probably be awkward.
Jingzhai, Hanlinling, Xixi, Xiuxiu, and Liu Qianqian did not stay long. Knowing that their lover was all alone and lonely, they returned shortly afterward.
Han Linling was wearing a loose robe, clearly not having changed her clothes yet. Today, she went out to meet Yan Tusun and the others, firstly to study the tools that Miss Zuo Shi had brought, and secondly to see how precise Yan Tusun and the others were.
Also check if the auxiliary materials for the Divine Martial Armor are ready. It will be forged using superb craftsmanship. Other auxiliary materials will be prepared by Master Yan's apprentices and grand-apprentices.
Now that the day is almost here, I feel a surge of excitement. The gift I prepare for my lover must be of the highest quality!
Seeing her lover alone, seemingly lost in thought, she couldn't help but smile gently.
Like a golden phoenix throwing itself into someone's arms, with long, flowing hair, she was radiant and beautiful.
Her lover reached out and caught her tightly, holding her in his arms like a princess carry.
Han Linling said softly, "Miss Zuo Shi is truly stunningly beautiful. Seeing how thin and anxious she's become, Chen Lang, shouldn't you go and uphold justice? Let's see what kind of monster she is!"
A playful remark, seemingly with another meaning, was accompanied by a soft chuckle.
He Chen unconsciously increased the strength in his hand, becoming more uneasy, and Han Linling's face immediately turned as red as a flush.
Jingzhai and Xixi, along with a few other girls, walked slowly over and smiled gently upon seeing this.
Surrounded by women, Liu Qianqian chuckled softly and teased, "Sister Zuo is unparalleled in beauty and talent, a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers, a peerless beauty in this world. I wonder who she'll end up with."
Jingzhai, Xixi, and Xiuxiu stood to one side, heads bowed and chuckling softly.
He Chen shook his head slightly, holding his beloved in his arms, and said softly, "The Nanhe Prefecture should be taking some action tomorrow or the day after. I need to go there first to see the specific situation and whether any other forces are involved."
Jingzhai nodded gently, a hint of worry in her eyes, and said softly, "I'll go with you." Although she knew her lover's cultivation level, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He Chen gently shook his head and said softly, "I suppose there aren't many unexpected people here."
He lowered his head slightly and saw Han Linling nestled in his arms. He whispered, "Please, my wife, forge a Dragon Fang Blade for me."
Han Linling nodded slightly, without asking any further questions, and said softly, "Alright, I'll prepare it for Chen Lang tomorrow."
The moonlight ripples gently, a perfect moment for a beautiful woman. Her beauty is so captivating that even the moon and flowers seem ashamed. In the bathing pool, hot springs gush forth from the earth, flowing year-round, a truly wondrous sight.
The area within a hundred acres surrounding the mansion has already been planned by Yun Su. Some of the previous arrangements have changed too quickly and need to be changed. These are not difficult, as they are all under the jurisdiction of the border city and the matter is not complicated.
Hanlinling wore a lace tank top and slimming shorts; Jingzhai wore a black swimsuit; Xiuxiu wore a black halter top; and Xixi wore a tight-fitting cheongsam.
The night was deep, and spring was in full bloom.
Inside the Dalong Mansion, a table was laden with delicious dishes: braised pork, roast chicken, roast lamb chops, and braised lion's head meatballs. Guan Xiaowei's expression softened slightly.
While they ate heartily, Tao Tongtong brought them roasted lamb chops, chives and eggs, and yam stewed with venison.
She wore a well-fitting light-colored bodysuit, tight-fitting, with a hint of heartache in her eyes, busy feeding the baby, but remained silent.
Captain Guan stopped eating after he had eaten his fill. Seeing the beautiful woman's gaze, he smiled slightly and said softly, "With you by my side, I inevitably relaxed a bit and ate too much. I hope Miss Tao will forgive me."
Miss Tao chuckled softly, her face slightly flushed, "You, sir, are engaged in great affairs, far beyond the reach of a lowly woman like myself. I know countless others would envy me if I could simply cook something for you."
Captain Guan chuckled and said softly, "Thank you, Miss Tao."
A faint blush rose to Miss Tao's face, like the rising sun, adding a touch of shyness and charm to her delicate features.
Perhaps the longer Miss Tao managed important family affairs, the more composed she became. She gently bowed her head, offered a silk handkerchief of her own, and wiped the grease from the corner of Captain Guan's mouth.
She lowered her hands gently for a moment, then said softly, "My family consists only of my younger brother and me. The other members of our clan are not within the three degrees of mourning. My younger brother is still too young, and I'm afraid he will need more care from his elders in the future."
His expression was calm; it's better to talk about some things now than later.
Seeing that the officer nodded without paying any attention, his eyes relaxed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "My parents prepared a lot of dowry for me when they were alive. The restaurant in the city and the fields outside the city were all gifts from my parents."
The other caravans were originally intended for my younger brother, as my father also hoped that he could take over them in the future. In previous years, people valued literature over martial arts, and most people sought a way out through education.
But my father said at the time that both martial arts and literature were essential, and he was often away from home, so he would only briefly mention the important things to us.
Miss Tao spoke softly, with a hint of remembrance and longing. Captain Guan's expression also showed some longing, perhaps thinking of his deceased parents.
Without realizing it, he unconsciously stood up and put his arm around Miss Tao's waist.
A touch of nostalgia and deep longing mingled in Guan Xiaowei's eyes. At this moment, a hint of tenderness appeared, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of affection. He embraced her tightly, as if trying to draw her into his arms and share in this deep longing and warmth.
A shy blush crept onto Miss Tao's face, making her look incredibly beautiful. Her eyes sparkled with a crystalline light, and she lowered them slightly. Her shyness and charm intertwined, making Captain Guan's heart flutter even more.
Gently resting her head on Captain Guan's broad chest, feeling the warm heartbeat, Miss Tao was momentarily intoxicated.
Captain Guan said softly and tenderly, "Tongtong, don't worry too much. I won't take a penny of your share. When you grow up, all the family property will naturally belong to you."
Although my Guan family doesn't have much wealth, we can still manage our daily expenses.
He paused for a moment, then said softly, "Besides, Lord He and his wife have already agreed to the land distribution, and they haven't interfered much in other matters. The city is orderly, so tax collection shouldn't be too bad."
Miss Tao nodded and sighed softly, "The city has officials chosen by the authorities to govern it, and there are also soldiers to oversee it. Currently, the city is in good order, and the surrounding area is also peaceful. Many people from the surrounding towns and villages have also started to come to the city to buy and sell goods."
The prosperity is evident; I hope it can stay this way forever!
