Chapter 271 - 271: Arriving Home



Heng Yi held the child in one hand and Han Qiao in the other as they walked towards the gate.

“Let’s go home.”

“Yes.”

This would be their new home.

She had only drawn the design, and Bai Cha spent a few months making it into a reality.

Han Qiao’s eyes lit up the moment she stepped through the gate.

According to her drawings, there was no need to carve flowers, instead, the pillars and decorations were carved with squares and round wood. In other words, the places that should be square were square, and the places that should be round were round.

The new house had many halls; one small and one side hall. Most importantly, the layout of the main courtyard was similar to their house in Xishan Village. The only difference was the amount of light and space; it was much brighter and spacious.

The room had already been tidied up. The servants and maids who served here stood at the side, uneasy, but very diligent.

“Big Brother and Sister-in-law must be tired after traveling for more than ten days. Let’s have dinner together tonight. I’m here to welcome Brother and Sister-in-law,” Bai Cha said.

“It must have been hard on you all to clean up this place so well,” Han Qiao thanked them sincerely.

Bai Cha and the others had done their best.

“It’s what we should do. Eldest Brother, Sister-in-law, go ahead. I’ll take care of the children.”

The children might not be used to the new place since they had just arrived.

He had to settle the children down.

After Sister-in-law had a good rest, he would not care about these things.

After all, the matters in the house should be handed over to the mistress of the house.

Bai Cha left like a young master, walking away with his back straight and wide strides. Compared to Heng Yi’s boorish appearance, Bai Cha suits the saying “A young master is like jade”. It wasn’t that he was handsome, but it was because of the way he carried himself.

Han Qiao laughed.

“What’s wrong?” Heng Yi asked.

“You’re not the only one who’s been reborn this year.”

Heng Yi paused, then understood what Han Qiao was talking about.

“It’s all thanks to you, Madam.”

Han Qiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his flattery skills. She took

Ah-Yao from his arms and said, “Go wash up first. I’ll sit for a while.”

“Just let Pucao carry Ah-Yao. Don’t tire yourself out.”

“Alright.”

After Heng Yi went to wash up, Han Qiao soon followed after.

Han Qiao didn’t hand Ah-Yao over to Pucao. Instead, she placed the baby on the bed. Fortunately, he didn’t cry or make a fuss.

When Han Qiao came out of the shower, the dishes were already prepared on the table.

They were all light dishes and white rice porridge that had been boiled until it was thick.

After the meal, when her hair was dry, Han Qiao fed Ah-Yao while Heng Yi changed his diapers. The baby slept soundly next to his mother and father.

Heng Yi had been worried in the past few days and didn’t dare to sleep too deeply at night.

Now that he was home, he felt relieved and fell asleep very quickly.

The servants in the courtyard had all left. No one dared to walk around in the main courtyard, and no one dared to make a noise.

Although the children were tired, compared to the worried adults, they were still carefree. Han Chi even took the time to walk around his new house.

When he saw Bai Cha, he couldn’t help but ask, “Second Uncle, does the neighboring courtyard also belong to our family?”

“Yes, it will be used to make tofu. There were still dozens of acres of land behind to grow bean sprouts.”

Han Chi was very surprised.

So big!”

“Our family owns more than this,” Bai Cha laughed.

Han Chi was not sleepy. He went to the next courtyard and found that it was bigger than he had imagined.

The dozens of acres of land behind were planted with radishes.

Han Chi stood at the edge of the field. There were still people clearing the land in the distance.

He guessed that the wasteland should belong to his family as well.

Those who were working were probably the commoners nearby who came to work to earn money to subsidize their families.

Mother was a good person with great wisdom and kindness.

When Han Chi returned to his courtyard, his cousins were already lying down.

He chuckled and went back to his room, took out a book, and started to read and memorize.

The sky darkened slightly.

Han Qiao woke up.

After sleeping for the entire afternoon, she felt much more energized. It felt good to have her feet on the ground.

She looked around and saw that Heng Yi was gone. Ah-Yao was sleeping soundly, small little sounds coming out of his parted lips.

Han Qiao squeezed his little hand.

Then she got off the bed from the side.

Han Qiao wanted to make the bed with two sides so that the child wouldn’t accidentally fall.

“Madam, you’re up,” Shulan smiled.

Soon, two maids came in with a basin of water and something to rinse her mouth.

Han Qiao went to rinse her mouth and wash her face.

“Where’s the master?”

“Old Master has been up for more than an hour and is talking to Second Master in the front hall.”

Han Qiao nodded.

After washing up, she sat in front of the dressing table and Duan Yue came forward to comb her hair.

Han Qiao looked at the maids and old women standing at the side and asked, “What are your names?”

“We were all bought by Second Master from the broker house.”

The three maidservants looked beautiful. They were not coquettish, nor were they naive or slow.

“You will be named Zi Yue, Chang Yue, Xue Yue, and the three of you will be the second-class maids of the main courtyard.”

The three maids immediately knelt down and bowed.

“Thank you for the names, Madam.”

With a name and a job, their heart could be at ease.

“Get up and do your job well in the future. I won’t treat you badly, but if you betray me, 1 won’t let you off easily.”

She didn’t know where Xia He went after she was sold, and she wouldn’t ask.

Wanwen, the maid who tried to seduce Heng Yi, wasn’t a second-class maid now, but she had changed her personality quite a bit. Of course, it might be because Heng Yi scared her which made her avoid being in his presence since then.

Just as she thought about it, Heng Yi entered her view.

Seeing that Han Qiao had gotten up, a gentle smile instantly appeared in his solemn eyes, “You’re up.”

“Yes.”

“The food is ready. Let’s go and eat.”

“Alright.”

Heng Yi reached out his hand to Han Qiao, and she put her hand on his.

She was held by his warm hand as they headed to the dining room.

Zi Yue, Chang Yue, and Xue Yue were slightly surprised. They hadn’t expected their master to be so gentle and loving towards their mistress.

When they reached the dining room, the children followed suit.

“Mother!”

“Auntie,”

“Cousin.”

Since there was another purpose to tonight’s welcoming banquet, the servants prepared several tables.

The children sat at one table, and Heng Yi’s people sat at two tables.

Those who had done a lot of things in Chenzhou these days sat at the same table as Heng Yi and Han Qiao.

Heng Yi picked up his wine cup and stood up to say a few words of encouragement and gratitude, “Thank you for your hard work these days. Please make yourselves at home. Let’s eat.”

Everyone toasted Heng Yi.

He wasn’t a dim-witted person to begin with, so the atmosphere quickly became lively.

At first, they were a little embarrassed, but later on, they became more casual and even gathered together to play fight.

After Han Qiao had eaten her fill, she watched them play fighting and drink merrily.

Heng Yi was also pulled over to play with his fists.

He wasn’t very familiar with it at first, but after drinking a few glasses, he grasped the trick and rhythm, and then he didn’t have to drink anymore.

“1 don’t believe it.”

Several of them came to compete, and after losing a few cups, they stopped playing with Heng Yi.

It was very uncomfortable to keep losing.

Heng Yi let them play. After tonight, they will be busy again tomorrow.

Han Qiao asked the children if they were still adapting.

As the weather was getting colder, they would need to add more clothes. She would have to prepare warmer blankets for them for the nights.

Tomorrow, she would slowly tell them in detail.

The children were tired after sitting in the carriage for so many days.

It was also their first time leaving the comforts of their home.

Then on the way, they had almost been attacked by the Mountain Bandits. They were hesitant and afraid.

“Return to your rooms and sleep early.”

“Yes, Father and Mother should also sleep early.”

The children went back to their own courtyards.

Han Qiao and Heng Yi walked back to the main courtyard hand in hand.

“The same goes for us. Don’t think about anything today and sleep early. We’ll be busy starting tomorrow.” Han Qiao said gently..
