Chapter 238: My two wives are here, so of course I
Seeing Gu Qingwan looking so charming and tempting, Lu Yuan felt extremely pleased.
With no one around, Lu Yuan gave Gu Qingwan in his arms a good round of kneading, then he grinned and said:
"Alright, wife, I'm off to school. You and Liyan rest at home for a while, then you can take her to the palace or do whatever.
"The main thing is to cultivate well with Liyan; we want to last forever, got it?"
Hearing Lu Yuan call her his wife, Gu Qingwan felt utterly sweet inside.
She then looked at Lu Yuan and coquettishly said:
"Good~ big sister listens to my man~"
Seeing Gu Qingwan so gentle, Lu Yuan couldn't help but hold her and linger a while longer before finally letting go of this stunningly beautiful second wife.
He walked to the side, lifted his leg onto the bike, then Gu Qingwan beside him said:
"Alright, let's go back, wife, we're off."
Like any newlywed wife, Gu Qingwan stood beside him, eyes full of love, tidied his clothes, then nodded obediently.
Then Lu Yuan pushed off on his bicycle and darted away.
Lu Yuan didn't go to school first; instead, he went to his own large residence.
He had already told Liu Shoucai the day before that his three‑courtyard deep large residence would start renovation.
Liu Shoucai works fast; what he said last night, he will surely bring people today.
Lu Yuan needed to tell his third uncle.
This sudden change, without warning, could make his third uncle think the house had been raided when he returned from work at night.
For now, let his third uncle stay at his second uncle's place to make do.
Although his family's three‑courtyard deep large residence is big, many people are working on the renovation, and they are all skilled hands hired by Liu Shoucai.
The speed will definitely be fast; before winter this year, they will surely be able to move in.
Roughly speaking, that's about three or four months.
Once the renovation is done, Lu Yuan will bring his two wives and mother‑in‑law to move in, and then bring his father‑in‑law over as well.
As for Yu Lan, she will probably already be living together with Kou Yang by then.
As for his third uncle, it's simple: Lu Yuan will move out of this siheyuan, and these two rooms will be just right for his third uncle to live in.
By then, his third uncle can also directly bring his family over.
The two large rooms even come with a kitchen, which is more than enough.
Once his second uncle has made some money, Lu Yuan will find a place for him to live in Xin Cheng, and then bring his aunt and children over as well.
This way, Lu Yuan will have basically brought all his wives' natal family members into the city.
Of course, this is what Lu Yuan thinks and plans; he doesn't know whether others think the same.
For example, his mother‑in‑law and father‑in‑law might not really want to come to the city; they might prefer to live back in the countryside.
Before, everyone from the countryside wanted to come to the city because the countryside was bad, unsafe, and they couldn't even get enough to eat.
But now, his father‑in‑law's home is a finely renovated two‑story small building, and there's no lack of food, so they might also prefer to stay in the village.
So we'll see later; once his child is older and doesn't need constant care, if they want to go back and live there, they can.
Speaking of which, given Lu Yuan's current status as an earl, he also has the qualifications to find two people to come and serve him.
In the future, if there are second or third children, he won't necessarily have to bother his mother‑in‑law.
Soon after arriving at the large residence, he happened to run into his third uncle coming out, and Lu Yuan told him about what he had discussed with Liu Shoucai the previous night.
He also told his third uncle to stay at his second uncle's place for these few months.
Upon hearing this, his third uncle didn't hesitate; he said he would go pack his things right away and, on the way, deliver them to his second uncle's house.
Lu Yuan then laughed and waved his hand, saying:
"Third uncle, don't rush; today I'll first take them to have a look, and meanwhile have them bring some materials over. We'll start work tomorrow, so you can come back tonight and still finish packing."
His third uncle also nodded repeatedly upon hearing that.
Then Lu Yuan said:
"From now on, you'll have to trouble yourself running back and forth for me, third uncle, and you'll also need to look after the potatoes in my backyard."
His third uncle was taken aback, then quickly laughed and waved his hand, saying:
"Oh dear, son‑in‑law, what are you saying? That's too formal; there's no trouble or not trouble."
"Besides, this place isn't far from your second uncle's; it's just a ten‑odd minute ride on horseback."
Hearing his third uncle's words, Lu Yuan also smiled and nodded, saying:
"Alright, third uncle, go to work; once this courtyard is renovated, we'll move in."
"By then, you'll live in the siheyuan I currently occupy; those two rooms will be yours, and you can bring my aunt and little nephew over to live together."
Lu Yuan's words left his third uncle somewhat startled.
"… The son‑in‑law's two rooms aren't ordinary; they even have those excellent kang heating ducts. Such a house, if sold or rented, would fetch a considerable sum."
Of course, his third uncle knows that this son‑in‑law isn't just ordinarily wealthy; just buying a plot of land in the very center of Xin Cheng cost hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, the son‑in‑law's shop earns several thousand a day.
But the son‑in‑law's money is his own; you can't say that because he has ten thousand, you can just casually take ten or eight from him.
Having come to his senses, his third uncle quickly said there was no need; he would wait until he earned his own money, then …
Lu Yuan, however, directly cut off his third uncle's words, laughing and saying:
"Third uncle, don't be polite; you know the situation of your son‑in‑law, just listen to me."
At the same time, Liu Shoucai arrived with a group of people.
His third uncle checked the time and realized he couldn't linger here; he needed to get to work promptly.
He then nodded, feeling moved, greeted Liu Shoucai, and rode away on his horse.
Afterwards, Lu Yuan brought Liu Shoucai and his group to inspect the manor.
Lu Yuan had previously drawn the renovation plans for his manor.
However, the original layout had three courtyards front and back, but now the whole backyard is used for planting potatoes, and the houses have been demolished.
So it needs a slight modification.
Liu Shoucai and his people are veterans; Lu Yuan just needs to give verbal instructions.
While leading these people inside, Lu Yuan said how this place should be, how that place should be.
Whatever Lu Yuan said, they remembered.
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the people Liu Shoucai brought began taking measurements.
For example, how high the pillars should be, how many floor tiles are needed—these things all need to be measured.
Lu Yuan then casually walked into the shed in the backyard.
In this backyard, Lu Yuan directly set up a glass house, sealing the top with glass.
That way, the extremely rich spiritual energy inside would not dissipate.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty hardly has any immortals, there are still some.
With so many heavenly treasures gathered together, the spiritual energy is not just abundant; if it all leaked out, it would be too conspicuous.
What if an immortal shows up?
If they wanted to seize it by trickery, that would be troublesome.
Although... Lu Yuan does have some strength now, but what if it's not enough?
Speaking of strength...
Over the past three months, Lu Yuan's cultivation realm has remained at the first stage.
It's not that Lu Yuan's Holy Body was wasted, or that the potatoes were eaten for nothing.
That's it...
Lu Yuan discovered that, after obtaining his Holy Body, his cultivation realm seemed different from the system here.
By rights, Lu Yuan is already quite strong.
He really does have that much strength.
Although it's not up to his wife's level, which is close to Nascent Soul.
But Lu Yuan feels he is at least at the fourth stage, roughly the early Golden Core.
But Lu Yuan's realm is actually the first stage.
It just won't rise.
Lu Yuan also can't figure it out.
Basically, there's no cultivation around Lu Yuan at all.
These things can only be figured out by oneself; Lu Yuan really can't manage.
No way.
Let's leave it at that for now.
After checking the potatoes, Lu Yuan rode his exercise bike to school.
Next, he can feast on potatoes wildly.
Those potatoes were the sixteen plants Lu Yuan had in the Agriculture Bureau's greenhouse.
Before that, Lu Yuan and his wife basically ate one each per day.
During the last month, Lu Yuan and his wife stopped eating them.
The reason is that he gave them to his second wife.
Gu Qingwan's aptitude is really poor, and Lu Yuan doesn't understand cultivation much either; he just knows eating more potatoes does no harm, so he simply gave them all to Gu Qingwan.
Anyway, he forced it, hoping to nurture Gu Qingwan's body.
But so far, the effect seems not great.
Once he gets this fuel oil engine sorted out, Lu Yuan will find time to start researching cultivation.
…………
At 9:30 a. m., Gu Qingwan took Su Liyan's hand, and the two prepared to go out.
Although yesterday was Gu Qingwan's wedding day.
But court affairs cannot afford any slack.
She still had to go to the palace to review memorials.
However, things are different now.
Before, Gu Qingwan guarded a great hall by herself.
After a day, there wasn't a single living person beside her.
Faced with memorials piling up like mountains and seas, Gu Qingwan felt overwhelmed every day.
That was truly too boring.
It was like a machine, especially with no one to talk to nearby; that feeling is something no one can understand.
So, Gu Qingwan had long eagerly awaited Lu Yuan's coming to her hall.
But Lu Yuan also had many things to do each day, all very important matters, a hundred times more important than keeping her company.
That was for the Great Zhou, for the benefit of the people.
So, Gu Qingwan could not selfishly keep Lu Yuan by her side.
But now it's different; even without Lu Yuan's company, she now has Liyan.
Now the two went to Chunghua Hall; she went to review memorials, while Liyan stood aside drawing clothing designs.
Neither delays the other; both are busy with their own affairs, yet they can chat anytime, talk, relieve boredom, etc.
When tired, they link arms and stroll through the garden.
How nice is that?
The two rode in Gu Qingwan's carriage, not entering through the main gate but directly through the east side gate.
After arriving at the Hall of Double Splendor.
The Grand Eunuch immediately came out to greet them.
The Emperor didn't return last night, but the Grand Eunuch wasn't worried; he knew the Emperor was staying at Lu Yuan's place last night.
That carriage spent the night parked in the alley outside.
Of course, the Grand Eunuch didn't think much of it; the Emperor is on such good terms with Lord Lu's household that it's no problem to stay late and crash at Lord Lu's place.
It's just the Emperor's gait today……
Why is it so strange?
The Grand Eunuch didn't dare think further and hurriedly ushered the Emperor inside.
……
Lu Yuan spent the whole morning at school; before tinkering with the fuel engine, he needed to set up the drilling rig.
And the oil-gas separation and pressure inside the well are also knowledge points.
These naturally need to be explained.
At noon, Lu Yuan rode his vehicle straight to the nearby imperial palace.
Usually, Lu Yuan would have eaten at school.
Qingbei Daxue's cafeteria now is of the highest standard, better than what the Agriculture Bureau offers.
After all, although the Agriculture Bureau has plenty of fish and meat, some of it is surplus stock—food piled up in the granary.
Here at Qingbei Daxue, however, everything is fresh ingredients.
Especially, Gu Qingwan knows Lu Yuan loves seafood shrimp and crab, so she opened a dedicated line from Sea Ford to Huangcheng, with a train specially transporting live fish and shrimp to the imperial city.
The food here at Qingbei Daxue is simply luxurious—just one word: luxurious.
But today is different—both my wives are in the imperial palace, which isn't far; biking there takes only about ten minutes.
Naturally, I should accompany my two wives for a meal~
After lunch, I can also enjoy the second wife's wonderfully elastic, full, beautiful legs.
Using them as a pillow while sleeping is quite a lovely thing~
When Lu Yuan arrived at the Hall of Double Splendor, he saw his two wives already eating.
In the west side hall of the Hall of Double Splendor, which was the room where Lu Yuan used to sleep.
Neither Gu Qingwan nor Su Liyan expected their husband to come for lunch here, but they didn't wait either.
When Lu Yuan arrived, both rose with some delight to greet their husband.
Gu Qingwan had taken just two steps when she thought of something, then turned to the Grand Eunuch and the palace maids laying out the dishes, saying:
"You all go out; don't let anyone else come in."
The Grand Eunuch blinked, then immediately nodded, leading those palace maids and eunuchs holding small plates and chopsticks out of the main hall swiftly.
After the people left, Gu Qingwan then gazed at Lu Yuan with some delight and said:
"How come you came? ~"
At this moment, Su Liyan had quickly walked up to her husband and was already embraced in his arms.
Gu Qingwan, however, still felt a bit embarrassed.
Although…… the three of us did that shameful thing last night.
But that was in bed; if it were just Lu Yuan and me alone, Gu Qingwan could embrace him.
Just like this morning.
But with Su Liyan present, Gu Qingwan still feels a bit shy.
However, while Gu Qingwan is shy, Lu Yuan is not.
Immediately, Lu Yuan, without hesitation, embraced Gu Qingwan as she let out a soft cry, pulling her into his arms.
Lu Yuan, with one arm around each wife, gazed at the two gorgeous, mature, bewitching wives in his embrace and grinned:
"With my two wives here, of course I came to keep them company for a meal~"
Thanks to book friend 20170416 bro for the 1500 book coin reward, thank you very much~
……
At 2:35 PM, it was unlocked; please, editor, take a rest and still give me a chapter.
Also deleted some words describing flatulence and gu; some parts may be a bit odd, just bear with it.
So, everyone, read earlier next time; after reading, it will be different.
Or I'm thinking of using the word 'butt' instead in the future, how about that?
