Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know how to respond. The clothes she was wearing looked nice.
But they weren’t quite suitable for wearing in the village.
There were many chores in the village, and she needed to cook and work in the fields. This dress might get ruined after just one trip to the kitchen!
Lu Yuanfeng seed to know what she was thinking. He said, "When we get back to the village, if I’m still around, you can wear this, and I’ll do all the household chores.
If I go to the Northwest, I’ll have Yuanbao take good care of you. For the farm work, we’ll hire help. Da Hu and Da Niu are trustworthy! Otherwise, we’ll just buy more, and if they get dirty, you can change into a new one!"
Lu Yuanfeng’s words made Mu Shuangshuang laugh.
She nodded, "I’ll try my best!"
Mu Shuangshuang generally didn’t care much about what she wore. Whether it was coarse cloth or fine silk, to her, it was just clothing.
But if Fengzi liked it, she didn’t mind wearing it.
"It’s getting late, I’m going to sleep!" Mu Shuangshuang said and was the first to head to Mrs. Bai’s room.
At that mont, Mrs. Bai was already waiting for Mu Shuangshuang.
Seeing Mu Shuangshuang wearing her youthful clothes, Mrs. Bai was overjoyed.
Right in front of Mu Shuangshuang, she opened her wardrobe, "Shuangshuang, I have quite a few clothes here. Take a look and pick any you like!"
Hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang was startled and shook her head, "No need, mother-in-law, this one is enough!"
"Oh, it’s no problem! I’m old now and can’t wear these clothes anymore. There aren’t many young won in the village, and even if there are, they might not fit! Just pick whatever you like, and if you think it’s good, take them all!"
Mrs. Bai looked at the clothes Mu Shuangshuang was wearing, unconsciously rembering her youth.
It’s a pity that the person in front of her wasn’t her daughter. If she were, she’d keep her by her side, dressing her up daily, making everyone nearby envious of such a beautiful daughter.
Mu Shuangshuang refused, so Mrs. Bai started tossing clothes onto the bed.
In no ti, quite a few clothes were piled on the bed where the two stayed.
"Shuangshuang, don’t bla . Back when I was young, I never cleaned the room myself; it was the maids in the house who did it! But now she’s married, and I haven’t touched it in ages!
But don’t worry, I barely wore the clothes inside, most were bought by Old Cheng back then."
ntioning Cheng Dagang, Mrs. Bai’s face lit up.
She looked incredibly happy.
While helping organize the clothes on the bed, Mu Shuangshuang asked about Mrs. Bai and Cheng Dagang’s story.
Mrs. Bai was straightforward, answering directly.
"Don’t mind how Old Cheng is now, he was very honest back then. To win over, knowing I liked beautiful things, he searched all over the Capital, buying clothes, jewelry, and such.
If I told him to go east, he wouldn’t dare go west; if I told him to eat, he wouldn’t dare drink water!"
Recalling the past when she was a young lady, Mrs. Bai couldn’t help but talk more.
After finishing, she added, "Fengzi has a bit of Old Cheng’s youthful temperant, so take good care of it!"
When the topic turned to her, Mu Shuangshuang blushed.
"Well, actually, we’re already engaged. Once he returns from the Northwest, we’ll marry!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Mrs. Bai’s eyes lit up, and she gave Mu Shuangshuang a thumbs-up.
After asking Mrs. Bai about her stories, Mrs. Bai naturally beca interested in Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng’s story.
Mu Shuangshuang casually ntioned so amusing incidents, particularly how, because of a Little Black Mink at ho, they ended up in Yulin County.
As they chatted, they ended up talking all night long.
Surprisingly, neither felt sleepy.
Mu Shuangshuang got up, initially planning to make breakfast for everyone, but who knew, Cheng Dagang entered the room carrying two baskets of buns.
"I got breakfast from Wang ng’s house; his wife said it was made for the guests in the house!" Cheng Dagang said.
Mu Shuangshuang and the others thanked him.
After breakfast, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng discussed their departure with Cheng Dagang and Xing Beichen.
"There seems to be a lot more to do in Yulin County, but in reality, it’s just so repetitive tasks!
Continue as we planned the past few days, and it will surely lead to a good outco!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"As for building the house, you just need to tell Sima Chong to focus on the structure to prevent future earthquakes!"
Mu Shuangshuang ticulously instructed Xing Beichen.
Then she said, "You can coordinate with Fengzi about when to head to the Northwest, and when the ti cos, send him a ssage, he’ll go with you!"
In fact, Mu Shuangshuang also knew that after finishing the tasks in Yulin County, the ti for Fengzi to go to the Northwest was near!
Which ant their separation was imminent!
Xing Beichen was a bit upset, having been with Fengzi and Shuangshuang for so long, he seed to have grown accustod to this lifestyle.
Moreover, he had planned to return to the village with them before.
"Old man, I also want to visit Shuangshuang’s ho and their Little Black Mink!" Mrs. Bai suddenly said.
Her words shocked everyone, with Cheng Dagang being the most surprised.
"You say you want to go to their village? You can’t be serious? My wife, that’s quite a distance, taking two days by carriage!"
Mrs. Bai snorted, "Of course, I want to see it!
Besides, ever since we ca to this village, I haven’t gone out much. Anyway, I don’t care, if you don’t go, I’ll go with Shuangshuang by myself!"
When Mrs. Bai started to act spoiled, Cheng Dagang couldn’t handle it!
He thought for a mont, then nodded, "Well, since you like it, let’s go! Xing, why don’t you stop staying in Yulin County and go back with us!"
"Senior, the work in the city isn’t finished yet, leaving now would be inconsiderate!" Xing Beichen frowned.
"You, boy, don’t you know how to be flexible? Those tasks don’t necessarily require you! Don’t you want to learn martial arts from ?" Cheng Dagang said.
This trip wasn’t just about visiting Mu Shuangshuang’s village.
He also planned to teach Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen a thing or two.
The two lads suited him well, and their foundations weren’t bad. With so training, they might actually beco generals or sothing in the future!
"What? Senior, you’re willing to teach and Fengzi martial arts?" Xing Beichen’s eyes widened, looking incredulous.
"Hmph, if you’re not willing, I don’t have to teach you!" Cheng Dagang said.
"Willing, of course I’m willing! I’ll go arrange horses and carriages; we’ll return to Qingshan Town today!"
After saying that, Xing Beichen excitedly rushed out.
Heading towards Yulin County, upon reaching the city, he directly found Sima Chong, gave a few instructions, and asked Sima Chong to prepare things for his return!
