Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool-Chapter 64: Exquisite Mature Beauty from the Provincial City
The grand residence.
More than twenty men swarmed inside.
The large, two-courtyard residence had been completely emptied out.
All the things Aunt Zhao had painstakingly arranged before had been moved back out.
Now, the residence was completely bare.
All for the sake of today’s construction work.
After everyone put down their things, Lu Yuan began to give out instructions.
Which rooms needed trenches dug, which walls had to be demolished, which windows needed to be enlarged.
And where new walls needed to be built.
Lu Yuan explained this to the men, and from among them, he chose an older man to act as foreman.
It was the old man who had asked Lu Yuan a question on the way over.
The old man’s name was Wang Baotian. He was thirty-nine and came from Wang Family Village, a place over ten li outside of Taiping City.
He spent every winter at the East City Gate; he was a familiar face.
No one had any objections to him being the foreman.
After giving the men their tasks, Lu Yuan set off to buy materials.
The men, meanwhile, stayed in the backyard and got straight to work, rolling up their sleeves. Those who were supposed to smash walls smashed walls, and those who were supposed to dig trenches dug trenches.
When he reached the front courtyard, he saw Su Liyan and Zhao Qiao’er playing shuttlecock.
The two of them were like young girls, each holding a half-eaten stick of candied hawthorns in one hand.
They giggled as they kicked the shuttlecock back and forth to each other.
Speaking of which, Aunt Zhao’s fine figure was truly a sight to behold.
Aunt Zhao had been wearing a black cloak, and underneath was a long gown similar to a qipao.
She must have gotten warm, as she’d unfastened her cloak. With every jump and movement...
...her beautiful body jiggled, especially her large rear, which was exceptionally captivating.
As the saying goes, a rear that wide is better than an immortal’s prize.
Wide hips are good for bearing children.
If Aunt Zhao had a man, it would be a true waste for those hips not to bear at least eight or ten children.
"I’m going to buy materials. You two can stay here and play."
Lu Yuan said as he was about to head out.
But when the two of them heard him, they dropped the shuttlecock in perfect unison.
Each grabbed one of Lu Yuan’s arms, insisting on going with him.
’Heh, look at that. Neither of these two great beauties can bear to be apart from me~’
After Lu Yuan and the two women left, the twenty-some men toiling away in the backyard were all very curious about Lu Yuan’s requirements.
Some of them couldn’t hold back their curiosity.
One looked at Wang Baotian and asked:
"Uncle Wang, what’s this boss of ours thinking?
Such a nice house, and he wants us to dig trenches and smash walls. I’ve never seen anything like it."
But Wang Baotian just kept swinging his sledgehammer at a wall as he replied:
"Don’t ask questions. Just do the work.
The boss is paying us so much, giving us lunch, and even letting us sleep here at night instead of under a bridge.
We’d better be worth his money!"
After Wang Baotian spoke, the others nodded seriously. They stopped the idle chatter and lowered their heads, getting back to their strenuous work.
...
「Noon.」
The tasks at the residence were mostly finished for now.
The materials had been bought, and not just for his own residence.
He also bought materials for the East Wing of Aunt Zhao’s house.
They had already been delivered. In the afternoon, they would go back to install the Underground Heating System in the East Wing.
In a noodle shop just across the street from Lu Yuan’s residence.
Lu Yuan had brought the two women to eat noodles with big chunks of meat.
"There are free side dishes by the window. Go get whatever you want yourselves. No one’s waiting on anyone here."
Lu Yuan said while peeling a clove of garlic.
When he finished, Zhao Qiao’er, who was sitting across from him, couldn’t help but roll her eyes and say chidingly:
"Are you trying to order your auntie around?"
Lu Yuan chuckled.
"How would I dare?"
’This auntie of mine,’ he thought, ’really is something else. At home, she has a Maid waiting on her for everything.’
Meanwhile, Su Liyan, sitting beside Lu Yuan, rose with a smile.
"Brother~ Auntie~ What would you like? I’ll go get it."
Lu Yuan waved his hand.
"Whatever. I’m mainly eating garlic anyway."
But Zhao Qiao’er stood up, shot Lu Yuan another reproachful glare, and then took Su Liyan’s hand with a smile.
"Come on~
Auntie will go with you. If he won’t wait on us, we’ll wait on him~
After all, we’re the women, and he’s the man, isn’t he?~"
’See? I knew she’d never let that go!’
When the two returned with a couple of small plates of pickled vegetables, Lu Yuan divided the two large pieces of meat from his bowl between them.
One piece for Su Liyan, and one for Zhao Qiao’er.
It wasn’t that Lu Yuan was trying to do something to show off.
The truth was...
...he really couldn’t stomach those damn huge chunks of fat!
The people here didn’t get much fat in their diet, so they loved this kind of fatty meat the most.
The best kind was a piece with not a single speck of lean meat, just a whole slab of fat. You’d gulp it down in one bite—ah, now that was true flavor.
But Lu Yuan couldn’t do it.
He couldn’t eat something that fatty.
"You should eat more and put on some meat. Look how nice our auntie’s figure is."
Lu Yuan said to his wife beside him as he slurped his noodles.
Zhao Qiao’er, sitting across from them, was taken aback for a moment. Then she stomped on Lu Yuan’s foot under the table and shot him a glare, her face blushing.
’What kind of things is he saying!’
’So annoying~’
Halfway through their meal, Lu Yuan called over the noodle shop’s Shopkeeper.
He struck a deal with him. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Every day at noon, a pot of stir-fried noodles for twenty people and three bottles of bulk liquor were to be delivered to the grand residence across the street.
Lu Yuan was generous; from now on, his men would be eating white flour noodles for lunch.
This made Zhao Qiao’er marvel inwardly at how well her dear nephew treated people.
She could tell from the wages he had promised the men that very morning.
She thought to herself that her affection for him had not been misplaced.
After the three of them finished their meal, the stir-fried noodles were ready. Two of the shop’s waiters carried the large pot directly over to the residence.
Lu Yuan, meanwhile, planned to take the two women for a stroll around the neighborhood.
Once the workers finished their lunch, he would take a few of them back to the Zhao Family’s house and get the heating system for the East Wing sorted out.
However, just as they stepped outside, they saw a large group of soldiers hurrying eastward in formation.
These soldiers weren’t from Taiping City.
You could see the still-damp yellow mud on their official boots and pants.
’They must have just come from outside the city.’
’Why have so many soldiers suddenly appeared in Taiping City?’
But he didn’t dwell on it.
With the continuous victories in the Northern war, large numbers of Empire troops were no longer needed at the front.
Many armies that had been dispatched to the front from various regions were now returning to their home garrisons.
’Perhaps they’ve just returned from the front?’
A little after two in the afternoon, Lu Yuan returned to the grand residence with his wife and Aunt Zhao.
There, he found the old butler already waiting for them with a group of people.
As soon as he saw Lu Yuan and the others, the old butler immediately stepped forward and said:
"Madam, Song Meiqin has arrived from the Provincial City."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiao’er couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
"What’s she doing here?
What’s she trying to show off this time?"
But the old butler immediately lowered his voice.
"The Little East Asia staying at Dou Shi Temple pulled a Da Xingzi last night.
Now, soldiers from the surrounding cities and even the Provincial City have all been deployed here.
It seems she came with her younger brother to watch the excitement."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiao’er curled her lip and spat disdainfully.
"That old hag! There’s no drama she won’t stick her nose into!
Come on, let’s go back and see!"
Then, Zhao Qiao’er pulled Su Liyan by the hand into the carriage, while Lu Yuan went back to the residence to call for seven or eight men to return to the Zhao Family’s house.
When they arrived at the entrance to the Zhao Family estate...
...they found a squad of soldiers already stationed there.
Before Lu Yuan could figure out what was going on, an arrogant voice called out:
"Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for over half an hour!"
Immediately, Zhao Qiao’er threw open the carriage curtain, raised her fine eyebrows, and shot back:
"Did I ask you to wait?!"
Lu Yuan followed the voice with his eyes and saw a beautiful, mature woman standing at the entrance. Her looks and bearing were in no way inferior to Aunt Zhao’s.
Her arms were crossed over her ample chest, her face a mask of arrogance.
One look and you could tell she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
