Chapter 31

Gao Tingyu's people are all dazed.

What the hell is this?

At the same time, the workshop supervisor behind the crowd called out to the people outside:

Alright, alright, let's all go inside and get to work.

Everyone went in, looking utterly confused.

After entering, everyone saw Lu Yuan sitting at his workstation, legs crossed, sipping hot tea.

Everyone wanted to go ask what was happening.

However, the workshop supervisor was just staring at the main gate, so everyone returned to their workstations, looking bewildered, to continue working.

Lu Yuan was feeling great.

The senior leader took the design drawing back, and then they had to find some top-tier artisans to craft several pieces according to Lu Yuan's design.

After manufacturing, they still had to take it to the Ministry of War to show the military officials the sample and its effect.

If the military officials are satisfied, the armory will start mass-producing the Snow Dragon Radiant Armor.

The senior leader said that if this meets the Ministry of War's expectations for the Snow Dragon Radiant Armor, Lu Yuan could also earn a reward.

Of course, whether or not there's a reward doesn't matter; what matters is that the senior leader approved everything I just said.

Everything went perfectly; this afternoon I'll go to the hospital to get a medical record, and tomorrow I'll be able to bring Su Liyan along.

From now on, it's like a fish in the sea, longevity like the southern mountains, releasing the tiger back to the hills, and so on.

From now on, it's just about having fun.

In the morning I'll go fishing at the moat; in the afternoon I'll head to Lingnan Park to enjoy the scenery; in the evening I'll return home for a meal, take my wife for a stroll, and then keep having fun.

Isn't this life pretty good?

Although I've transmigrated into a cultivation world, the system doesn't grant any cultivation abilities, so what can Lu Yuan do?

Besides, Lu Yuan feels this life is really good.

No one said that just because a transmigrator ends up somewhere, they have to be invincible or the richest person under heaven.

Life is only a few decades; living leisurely and happily, what's not good about that?

There's nothing to be done; this is just my situation.

Thirty thousand!

Can't spend it all!

…… -> none.

Today, inside the Siheyuan, everything was as usual.

Everyone was sitting together chatting.

Unlike yesterday, Su Liyan had basically finished all the household chores; today she had nothing to do, so she sat together with the women of the courtyard.

However, Su Liyan couldn't join their conversation; she just sat quietly in the corner, listening to them talk to pass the time.

"Su Liyan, your clothes are quite expensive, right?"

"Where did you get it? Did you just buy it?"

The wife of the third master and the third lady suddenly looked at Su Liyan and asked.

When the third lady asked, everyone around immediately turned to look.

Actually, everyone had seen it since this morning, and they'd been wanting to ask.

Su Liyan was stunned, then she repeatedly waved her hands and said:

"It's not too expensive; it's my dowry."

Although the people in the courtyard don't go to department stores, they have keen eyes; this high-quality fur looks expensive at a glance.

After hearing Su Liyan finish speaking, everyone looked at each other.

Everyone wondered……could Su Liyan's family actually be well-off?

Even Gao Xushi found it strange.

That shouldn't be……Gao Xushi knows Su Liyan's background well; she's just an ordinary village girl……

Everyone began to wonder……could Su Liyan's family actually be quite wealthy?

If that's the case……

Su Liyan, afraid they'd think too much, quickly said:

"I'm getting married to the city, after all I need a few nice outfits, so the family scraped together some money to buy them for me."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally nodded in understanding.

I felt better inside; otherwise, with Su Liyan's family being well-off and so caring, why would all the good things be taken by a scoundrel?

By around eleven in the morning, the wives and grandmothers from each courtyard had also gone home to cook for themselves or their grandchildren.

Su Liyan also returned home, and seeing the kitchen full of things, she couldn't help but show a happy smile.

Her own man dotes on her, not letting her eat coarse grain noodles; this time Su Liyan also obeyed, after all there's plenty of white flour at home.

At noon, Su Liyan steamed a bun for herself and stir-fried some cabbage.

As for meat, Su Liyan couldn't bear to eat it, saving it for her man.

After closing the door and finishing the meal, Su Liyan sat at the table, took a bite of the white flour bun, and her face showed a happy expression.

The white flour bun is really delicious; even chewing it plain is sweet and silky.

After lunch, the women in the courtyard gathered again; Su Liyan glanced out the window, then didn't go out but instead drew the curtains, preparing to take a nap.

This morning listening to these women talk, Su Liyan found it rather boring.

I simply couldn't chat with these people at all.

Because these people are always talking behind this person's back, saying how this one is like this and how that one is like that.

Su Liyan wasn't interested.

After lying down on the bed and pulling the covers up, she looked at the pillow on the other side belonging to her man; Su Liyan slightly pursed her red lips, missing him a little.

Then she took her man's pillow, held it in her arms, and buried that peerlessly beautiful face into it.

Smelling that familiar scent, Su Liyan soon drifted off to sleep in a daze.

In the evening, on the way back to the Siheyuan, Lu Yuan saw Gao Tingyu heading home.

Before Lu Yuan could say anything, upon hearing the hoofbeats, Gao Tingyu turned around and saw Lu Yuan, then said somewhat smugly:

"My mother found me another wife again, a city girl; her parents are both workers!"

"Come over in a few days!"

This morning Gao Tingyu had wanted to say it, but Lu Yuan slipped away quickly, so he didn't get the chance.

This afternoon, during the break, Gao Tingyu also wanted to say it, but Lu Yuan took a sick leave and left straight away; no one knows where he went.

Gao Tingyu had thought Lu Yuan had gone home, but he didn't expect him to return only at this time.

Seeing Gao Tingyu's smug face, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and say:

"Good-looking, huh?

"Definitely not as good-looking as my wife."

After saying that, Lu Yuan flicked the reins, drove the horse, and ran off again.

Meanwhile, Gao Tingyu, behind him, gritted his teeth in anger and said:

"Good-looking!! Definitely good-looking!!"

This afternoon Lu Yuan went to the hospital to get a medical certificate; this position required paperwork, and Lu Yuan said his stomach was bad, so he needed to get a certificate for stomach trouble.

A stomach ailment isn't something you can tell just from a fall or injury right away.

The doctors here just give a rough look.

Of course, you can't just casually issue a certificate based on a rough look.

However, Lu Yuan used the system to find a doctor among the crowd who was 【greedy】 and 【tight-lipped】.

He gave that doctor two dollars as a red envelope, and the matter was settled.

Returning to the courtyard, he heard the people inside discussing something; Lu Yuan stepped forward and asked, only then learning that an imperial bulletin had just been posted.

From now on, a single day off will be implemented.

That is, from now on everyone can have Sundays off and rest at home, although this applies only to artisans.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded slightly; not bad—the Great Zhou Dynasty is getting more and more prosperous.

Returning home, Lu Yuan saw that the house was pitch dark, with no lights lit.

The door, however, was not locked.

After securing his horse, Lu Yuan went to push the door, but found it bolted from inside.

He was stunned for a moment, then Lu Yuan walked to the window, wanting to see what was inside; but when he pulled the curtain, he couldn't see anything.

Afterwards Lu Yuan knocked on the window and said:

"Liyan, Liyan."

After a few seconds, the curtain was suddenly drawn open, and Lu Yuan saw his gorgeous, alluring wife.

But seeing Su Liyan like this, she had just woken up?

Hmm… with a hint of laziness, the noble aura of his wife grew even stronger.

Lu Yuan also noticed that his wife's face was full of self-reproach; after Su Liyan came to her senses, she hurried to the door to open it for him.

Before Lu Yuan could say anything, she burst out with a flustered, self-blaming expression:

"Brother, sorry, I wanted to take a nap at noon, but I didn't expect to sleep straight through to now.

"Brother, you must be hungry; I'll go make you food right now."

This morning is different from yesterday; yesterday there was nothing at home, but today the kitchen is fully stocked.

Su Liyan really hates herself—how could she sleep straight through to now?

What kind of wife am I, lounging at home, only to have my husband come back from work and not even get a hot bite to eat?

Lu Yuan looked at the flustered Su Liyan, finding it somewhat amusing and adorable.

But soon Lu Yuan also realized a problem.

From now on… if my wife goes to work… then maybe I won't be able to play with her until late at night??

Oh dear!!

What a loss!!
