Chapter 198 Arrangements for the Yan Family
It was almost an hour later when the couple came down from upstairs. Zhao Yuping and her son, as well as the women and young people of the Yan family who had lower martial arts skills, did not find anything unusual. However, Ji Shaohan and his wife, and Yan Junling noticed that Wei Chengyi's breathing became very deep and long, and he did not seem like an injured person at all.
Are Shen Xiangwan's medical skills really so amazing?
Several people were a little surprised, but they didn't show it and pretended that they didn't notice anything.
"I'm sorry, Master, Master's Wife, Uncle Yan, I kept you waiting for so long."
Bowing apologetically, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Cheng found a chair and sat down: "Uncle Yan, we have built a house for you, and we will take you there later."
In just over a month, Yan Lang seemed to have aged a lot, and the other members of the Yan family also looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight. The days in the exile camp must have been very difficult.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."
Yan Lang smiled and nodded. He didn't expect that they would be able to come out so soon, and she even helped them build the house.
"Look at what Uncle Yan said. What's the trouble? There's no need to be so polite between us."
Waving his hand, Shen Xiangwan turned to Ji Shaohan and his wife and said, "Master, Master's wife, you can live with us. There are still several empty rooms in the main house."
"it is good."
Ji Shaohan and his wife did not refuse. Without Shen Xiangwan's special instructions, Zhou Wushuang, who was waiting on the side, quietly withdrew and quickly arranged for people to clean up the yard where the Yan family would live and several empty rooms in the main house.
"Second Master, Madam, please have your meal."
While everyone was chatting, Wu Shuiyu and her daughter came in with trays. Zhao Yuping and the others had finished their dinner long ago, and these were prepared for them by the cook.
"Shall we go to the yard to enjoy the cool air?"
Seeing this, Zhao Yuping stood up and suggested that, even if it was just her family, they couldn't let the guests sit there and watch the couple eat, right?
"it is good."
In order to avoid embarrassment for the young couple, Ji Shaohan and the others also stood up one after another. After a while, they were the only two left in the huge hall. The couple looked at each other and both laughed. However, they were really hungry, so they soon started eating.
After they had dinner, seeing that it was getting late, they did not join the group of people enjoying the cool air. Instead, they arranged for Ji Shaohan and his wife, and took the Yan family to the newly built courtyard on the left. Although it was newly built, the building materials of that era were all natural, and there would be no harm in moving in right away.
The layout of the Yan family's courtyard is basically the same as that of the Wei family. The only difference is that they have no backyard. All the back areas have been planned by Shen Xiangwan as factories and warehouses. However, the front yard is large enough. The main house is also a two-story building. Because they have so many people, there are five floors above and below. The east wing also has five rooms, and the west wing has been converted into two servants' rooms and a barn. The kitchen is on the far left of the back wing, and the two rooms next to it are warehouses.
"We had it built after we arrived here, and the furniture has been installed. If there is anything missing, we can just send someone to the county town to buy it tomorrow."
After showing them around the rooms, Shen Xiangwan smiled and said that the servants had already cleaned the house before, and the bedding had been laid out. The remaining details would need to be purchased and arranged by themselves.
"I never thought we could live in such a nice house in our lifetime." Looking at the spacious main room, Yan Lang sighed sincerely. Since being exiled, he had never thought about having a good living and eating environment again, especially when he was in the exile camp. Even with money, they were a family squeezed into two shabby houses. Now that he could get out of the exile camp and settle down here temporarily, he was already very satisfied.
"Uncle Yan, as long as you are satisfied."
Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan didn't know how to comfort him. After exchanging a glance with Wei Chengyi, she slightly turned aside and asked the servants behind her to come forward: "They are the rough servants of the family. They will be your servants from now on. Let them do any rough or heavy work. I will assign you a cook tomorrow."
There are four cooks in the house, one of whom is responsible for their meals, and the remaining three go to the cafeteria to cook for the guards and servants every day. They have to cook for more than 200 people every meal, which is a bit too much for them. She plans to ask Manager Sun to buy a few more cooks tomorrow. Even if they are servants, she has no interest in exploiting them too much.
"There's no need for servants. We are used to doing our own things."
Yan Lang rejected her arrangement without even thinking about it. It was already good enough for them to have their own home here, so why would they need servants?
"Uncle Yan, please don't be polite to us. Cheng Yi may have to trouble you with many things in the future. It's getting late. You should wash up and rest early."
After saying that, Shen Xiangwan didn't wait for their reaction, turned around and pulled Wei Chengyi away. Watching their figures disappear into the night, Yan Lang and the rest of the Yan family were all at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Why was this forced?
It was late at night, in Wei Chengyi's room, Shen Xiangwan, who had already washed up, was lying on Wei Chengyi's lap listening to him talk about what he had gained from this trip to the capital. Not only did they get military power as expected, they also got some control over political power. However, this was quite time-consuming, and for the time being they could only place their own people at some nodes, and they could not control too much say in a short period of time.
Judging from the gains alone, the seizure of military power seems too easy. In fact, it is far from that simple. Wei Chengyi has also put in a lot of effort. Moreover, the military power in Chenzhou is extremely weak at present, and the remaining soldiers are mostly old, weak and disabled soldiers or young recruits, not to mention the military supplies. There are simply few strong war horses in the stables, and there are not even a few complete sets of weapons and armor.
In addition, the imperial court had not allocated military pay for several months, and the only remaining food in the military camp had been taken away by the former commander. It could be said that there was nothing left. Wei Chengyi had just taken over, and he had no idea how much money he had put in.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Raising her hand to touch his face, Shen Xiangwan said distressedly that even if he didn't say it, she could imagine that he must have been working hard every day during this period.
"It's not hard."
Holding her hand, Wei Chengyi hugged her and lay on the bed. He wanted to sleep with her. They slept together the night before he left. He missed the feeling of seeing her when he opened his eyes in the morning.
"ha···"
Shen Xiangwan yawned without any image, obviously agreeing to sleep with him.
Wei Chengyi curled his lips and smiled: "Go to sleep."
Brushing off the candle, Wei Chengyi put his arm around her waist, then bent down and kissed her forehead, then closed his eyes contentedly.
"Dog man!"
Clearly feeling his joy, Shen Xiangwan muttered softly, squirmed her body into a more comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.
When her breathing gradually became smooth, Wei Chenghe slowly opened his eyes. Most people who practiced martial arts can see at night. His eyes, filled with affection, gently locked onto her beautiful sleeping face. God knows how much he missed her when he was in the capital city. Whenever he had free time, his mind was filled with her every frown and smile. He wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly back to her.
