Chapter 149 Three Houses Become One (Section End) 2
Su Shuilian leaned against the window in her study room and watched Cai Yi ball her hands into fists to encourage herself, walking outside. The corners of her mouth rose. No matter if it was the pickle shop, the wood workshop, or other business they would open later, her initial wish was always simple. She just wished for everybody by her side to find the happiness they wanted and deserved to have.
She would often discuss with Jing Zhi and Ying Yun. She would choose the right time to propose suitable and benefitable plans to He Yuan. For example, they opened the pickle shop two years ago and the wood workshop one year ago.
Talking about the wood workshop – the secret base of Guangci House in Huan Sha City, it had been expanded to six storefronts.
Every half year, Lin Si Yao would take the high-ranking members of Guangci House to Mount Da Shi to get the timbers and plant more saplings. The woods from the workshop came from that source.
After being renovated, the wood workshop also sold other furniture. The furniture was made by the carpenters from He Yuan in their free time. For every item they sold, the shop and the carpenter would share the commission 4:6. This helped create long-term jobs for the carpenters in He Yuan.
The other villagers working as stone-carving or constructor… also worked to maintain the main houses of the private mansions besides their contracted jobs.
That was how the orginal villagers of the three towns in He Yuan highly appreciated He Yuan after the three private mansions had become one. Everybody considered He Yuan their big home. The three Town Elders shared the management of trivial tasks around the three private mansions. On the eighth day of every month, they would come to the ancestral hall of Fan Hua Private Mansion to have a meeting with other managers. Together, they would summarize the statuses of the previous month and propose new plans. Afterward, they would announce the news from He Yuan to the villagers.
Three years had passed by, after continuous renovation, He Yuan, the private mansion of the three families were now in the heart of everybody as it had become the great family everybody had praised.
“What are you thinking?” A pleasant, but low male voice arose behind her. Right after, a warm body glued to her back.
“You’re home.” She turned around and received his deep and passionate kiss.
Until she slumped softly in his chest, did he let go of her succulent, red lips.
“Mm, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Jian Heng wanted to rush home.” He explained with his deep voice, it contained unconcealed desire.
“How about you? You didn’t want to rush home?” She chuckled then tried to push his hands, only for him to hold her tighter.
“You already know.” He said that scooped her up, walking to their bedroom.
“A Yao! It’s almost lunch time…” She gently expressed. Today was the monthly union dinner between the three main houses of He Yuan. It wasn’t good if they, the host, were absent.
“I don’t care…” He muttered. Entering their warm and cozy bedroom, he put her under his body. Hurriedly, he stripped both his and her clothes before coving her soft and fragrant body.
“Mm…” She couldn’t help but moan when he entered her.
He moved above her, but his eyes studied her petite face. “Did I hurt you?” He tried to suppress his lower abdomen’s desire. Only Heavens knew how much he missed her during half the month he was out to work with Jian Heng. He missed her soft body, her bright smile, and also her tight place that he had almost lost his soul in…
“No, it didn’t hurt…” She clutched his face damp with sweat, smiling tenderly while twisting her lower body. Like a pardon for him, allowing him to move as he desired…
Until his heat was released into her body, he was satisfied, hugging her and closing his eyes to rest.
“Did it go well?” She leaned against his chest, listening to his vigorous heartbeats. Gradually calmed down, before she asked gently. This time, he had taken Jian Heng to Feng Yao Court to talk about moving the headquarters of Feng Yao Court. He also went to Yun Luo Pagoda to visit monk Jie Xiu.
“Yeah, it’s about to be finalized. When Si Tuo comes here for the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything will be set up.” He gently stroked her hair, talking gently to her.
Although Si Tuo always wanted to train Lin Long to become the next Master of Feng Yao Court, moreover, Lin Long had picked the emerald thumb ring of Feng Yao Court during her zhuazhōu, before she was thirteen years old, Lin Si Yao will try her best to deviate the girl away from that position. Anyway, besides his love for his daughter, to be honest, Lin Long’s temperament was really suitable to become a leader of such an organization.
Thus, he decided to relocate the headquarters because he wanted his daughter to live near home later. But he also wanted to facilitate the relationship between Si Tuo and Jian Yue. Although the two main characters hadn’t made it clear, everybody with keen eyes could see their past had not passed yet. However, Jian Yue couldn’t leave He Yuan due to Xue Li’s order, and Si Tuo used Feng Yao Court as an excuse to avoid her. It’d been three years, they had not grown closer, but have gradually drifted apart.
Jian Heng, as her older brother, had come to talk to Lin Si Yao. After careful consideration, he decided to take Jian Heng to Feng Yao Court once and talk Si Tuo into moving the Feng Yao Court’s headquarters to Fan Hua City. No matter what, the location of the headquarters didn’t affect the court’s business a lot. But this move would be killing two birds with one stone.
“It’s good that Si Tuo agreed.”
“Of course he agreed. He just needed a way to exit. He just didn’t want to lose his face.” Si Tuo and Si Luo were similar as they were both very awkward.
“Love will find its way.” She sighed. Si Luo and Ying Yun, Si Tuo and Jian Yue, she hoped the two couples would listen to their hearts and join their futures together…
