The east and west wings of the main courtyard of the General's Mansion each have five rooms, excluding the two servant rooms on each side. No matter the east wing or the west wing, it is enough for three people. Although the men of the Yang family who live in the General's Mansion can be assigned to live in a courtyard with a structure similar to the main courtyard after they get married, there are sometimes cases where they are not in a hurry to continue living in the same courtyard. With so many rooms, even young men Couples who have children have no problem living there.

The Yang family probably belongs to a cultivation family that has a lot of children, and they don't let girls live in the backyard like other families, but in the east chamber, it is strictly stipulated that only the eldest son can live there. Therefore, the girl will live in the west wing with her brothers except the eldest son, while the east wing only has the eldest son, but has the same number of rooms as the west wing.

However, this arrangement is not completely unreasonable. After all, the eldest son is the oldest and will naturally get married earlier. If the eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law do not move out of the other house so quickly, they will naturally need more rooms in the east wing. In addition, the eldest son must help his father take care of his affairs, so he needs more space.

If he is the eldest son, he will be the future head of the family without exception. Therefore, even if he has been married for a long time and has several children, he will not leave the east wing until he becomes the new head of the family. And if that happens and the child doesn't have enough room to live, it won't be the eldest son who has to move to another yard, but his younger siblings.

But even if most of the rooms in the east wing are empty and only the eldest son lives in them, the Yang family does not allow his younger siblings to live in the east wing with the eldest son. There is a saying in the world that goes, "If there is no order between the elders and the younger, there will be no peace." This kind of disregard Being virtuous and mediocre, it sounds very unscientific just because of one's family background, but it is regarded as a model by most people, and the Yang family is no exception.

But then again, there are many rooms in the east wing, which is convenient for He Qianqing to live in. When he walked into the house in the east wing, the first thing he saw was a small hall, where he could read, drink tea and dine alone. There is a bedroom on the north and south sides of the small hall. Yang Yuyao lives in the larger bedroom in the north. The smaller room in the south is usually used as a study. If the eldest son has a child, it is the child's bedroom. But now this place has been vacated for He Qianqing to live. This bedroom was retracted inward, so that there was a narrow corridor connected to the small hall. At the end of the corridor, there was a small door that was not easy to see. On the other side of the door was the servant's room where the maid lived. .

There are two small rooms behind the small hall. One is unknown for its original purpose, but it has been transformed into a bathroom in the east wing, where you can take a bath. Another small room is next to the bedroom where Yang Yuyao currently lives. This is also the room where the personal maid lives. Especially when the owner is sick, there will be a maid living here ready to serve at any time. In addition, if you live in the east When Xiang's eldest son was still a half-year-old child, the child's wet nurse would also live in this small room. There was also an unlocked small door in this small room that could lead directly to Yang Yuyao's bedroom.

The reason why there are such two doors is naturally so that the personal maid who lives in the small room can call other maids for help in time in case of emergency. This small room is currently vacant, and Yang Yuyao plans to let Tushan live here after she is brought by He Qianqing's clone puppet.

Although this room layout sounds like it will affect lighting and ventilation, since the main courtyard is located in the middle of the inner garden close to the hanging flower door, both the east and west wings have windows on the east and west sides for ventilation and lighting and surround the General's Mansion. The high walls are far apart, and a low fence is built to encircle the small garden. Therefore, except for the gardener who takes care of the garden, generally no one will walk directly by the window, and the privacy is also very good.

The biggest shortcoming of this room type is probably that there is no indoor bathroom. The toilet in the main garden is close to the west wing and is a separate room. The toilet is considered to be a place where dirty air gathers, so it is built inside the room. Of course, the main reason is that sewage discharge and odor are difficult to deal with. Fortunately, most of the Yang family are monks, so after practicing inhabitation, they no longer have the need to use the toilet. If they are young and have not yet practiced Buddhism, there will be servants to help with the toilet at night.

Of course, the biggest advantage of such a room layout is that when you live in the east wing, you can basically carry out most activities in the east wing. You will not have to go to the corridor to go to another room as soon as you leave the room. Which room should you go to? Everything is known to the people in the yard. Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing live very comfortably. It can be said that He Qianqing is the master of the eldest young master. He has raised Yang Yuyao since he was a child. Yang Yuyao is used to living with him, but Yang Yuyao is not used to it when he returns home. Therefore, as the master, He Qianqing moved into the east chamber naturally.

It's extremely normal for the two of them to live in a room each. After all, most sects do not provide large living spaces for individuals to live in. It is common for masters and apprentices to live close to each other. But in fact, only Tu Shan, who will stay in the servant room in the east wing, and Suzaku, who will temporarily settle in the small hall, will know whether they live in separate rooms.

Perhaps it was because the Suzaku after the small fat bird was too small. If she didn't call Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing, her existence would be completely ignored. She felt sad, but Yang Yuyao liked He Qianqing, which made it impossible for her to attack and scold He Qianqing. Therefore, even if Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing made love to each other selflessly in the small hall, she could only bury her head in the small box filled with bird food. In a porcelain jar, pretend that you don't exist.

"Hmm... Master... how long will it take? I... don't like this very much..." Yang Yuyao, whose clothes were half-undressed, trembled slightly and had to hold He Qianqing's shoulders to support his body.

"Of course you have to wait until you relax completely," He Qianqing responded as he put one hand around the young man's slim waist and reached under the hem of his clothes with the other. "After such a long time, of course you have to make good preparations, otherwise you will be injured. Or, Xiaoyao, do you want to try to do it yourself?"

"I... give it a try..." Yang Yuyao said hesitantly.

"If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to force yourself." He Qianqing comforted him.

"But... I also hope to make Master happier." Yang Yuyao whispered with a blushing face. As soon as these words came out, He Qianqing's eyes widened instantly, and Yang Yuyao was instantly crushed by him and lay on the bed.

"Master, what's wrong?" Yang Yuyao looked at He Qianqing with some confusion and asked.

"I just suddenly wanted to look at you, Xiaoyao, from a different angle." He Qianqing leaned down, very close to Yang Yuyao's face, and said with a smile. "Did your mother teach you what to do today?"

"I don't need her to teach me this kind of thing. It's not the first time I've done it..." Yang Yuyao said, but his redder face and uncertain eyes revealed the fact that he was tough-talking, and He Qianqing's smile The intention reached his eyes, he leaned down lower and kissed the corner of Yang Yuyao's mouth.

"Then let me guide you?" He Qianqing asked with a smile.

"Okay." Yang Yuyao agreed obediently.

It's a warm spring night under the tent, but I don't know the dawn. Suddenly I wake up and it's already broad daylight. Yang Yuyao hurriedly sat up, but lay back down in pain. The movement caused was enough for He Qianqing, who had already gotten up, to rush to his side.

"Xiao Yao, why are you so impatient? Is there something urgent to deal with?" He Qianqing helped Yang Yuyao sit up and asked.

"I seem to... wake up too late." Yang Yuyao said awkwardly. Everyone in the general's mansion got up very early. He just came back. I don't know if everyone is used to this or if the Yang family has family rules. You can stay in bed late. But now, he has slept until midnight.

"Xiao Yao, are you worried that you will be disliked for sleeping in?" He Qianqing handed a glass of warm water to Yang Yuyao. Seeing Yang Yuyao's eyes on him, the answer was clear to him. "Are you worried that they will think your habits are bad? Is it a matter of teaching me?" Yang Yuyao nodded. "Don't worry, I told them yesterday that you are still sleepy. So don't panic." He Qianqing lowered his head and kissed Yang Yuyao's eyelids.

"Besides, what if they really feel that they don't accept it? Even if it's really a bad habit caused by me spoiling you, I don't think it's bad for you like this, because I am the only one who can spoil you. This is my achievement, so Xiaoyao You don’t need to pay too much attention." He Qianqing said with a smile.

"Master, you have such a strange sense of pride..." Yang Yuyao muttered in a low voice. He was not worried about He Qianqing hearing this. At this distance and at He Qianqing's level, He Qianqing could hear it even if he spoke softly. To be clear, if Yang Yuyao was really afraid of being heard by He Qianqing, he would have buried his words deep in his heart. Although He Qianqing was ridiculed by his disciple and lover, He Qianqing was not annoyed at all, and he warmed up to the young man holding him.

"Xiao Yao, there is your breakfast today in the small hall. Do you want me to bring it to you?" He Qianqing asked with a smile.

"Well, no need, I'll get up and go there by myself." Yang Yuyao got out of bed with difficulty.

The food for breakfast is very simple, a bowl of meat porridge and two plates of side dishes. I just don't know what the servant who delivered the meal would think when he saw that it was He Qianqing who took Yang Yuyao's meal.

There is a main kitchen in the General's Mansion, which can provide meals for the entire General's Mansion, but there are also small kitchens in each courtyard of the Mansion. Normally, three meals a day are prepared in the main kitchen and then delivered to each courtyard by servants. As the wife of the housekeeper, Mo Yulian will order the dishes for three meals a week. As for the small kitchens in each hospital, you can cook something by yourself when you want to add extra meals. If he misses a meal while out, he will ask his personal servant to cook some food in the small kitchen in his yard. But if you want to eat good food, you still have to wait for it to be cooked by the main kitchen.

"Have you finished your master's portion?" Yang Yuyao asked, seeing He Qianqing sitting beside him.

"Well, don't worry about it, Master. Xiaoyao, you eat slowly." He Qianqing didn't really just sit there. He was looking at Yang Yuyao, but Yang Yuyao probably never understood that other people could do nothing. , I just want to admire his face quietly.

Yang Yuyao scooped up the porridge with a porcelain spoon and stirred it gently. He was still very accustomed to eating breakfast. In the original world, his stomach was not good due to taking a lot of medicine, so as long as he did not sleep until noon and could eat lunch, he would I usually eat something for breakfast. After stirring it like this, Yang Yuyao could tell that this was no ordinary meat porridge, there were actually scallops and shrimps hidden in it. No wonder the aroma was so strong. Yang Yuyao scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully. Only then did he realize that a little oyster cut into small pieces was quietly added to it. Takes the umami flavor of this porridge to a new level.

Yang Yuyao squinted his eyes and tasted it slowly. Such delicious porridge is not often encountered in this world. Along the way, most of the porridge he has seen in the world is similar to cooking whole-grain rice with too much water, so when it is cooked even more, the rice oil is not boiled out. Of course Yang Yuyao can swallow such food. There is nothing wrong with his stomach in this world, so he won't feel uncomfortable if he eats something rough. But he won't like it.

The side dishes that go with the porridge, one plate is made of mustard core, which is crisp and delicious, and the other plate is similar to the pickled sweet potato sprouts that Yang Yuyao has eaten in his original world before, but he has never seen anything called sweet potato or sweet potato in this world. I don’t know if it is made of similar plants.

After finishing the belated breakfast, Yang Yuyao had just sat down to eat for a while when Huang Ya knocked on the door and came in, then brought a small bowl with a lid. Yang Yuyao looked at the time displayed on Xunlian and saw that it was not yet time for lunch.

"Huang Ya, what is this bowl?" Yang Yuyao asked. Although some people who got up early at this time would eat a little to fill their stomachs, Huang Ya only brought one bowl.

"Young Master, this is red dates and bird's nest soup. Madam specially asked the kitchen to make it. I want to help you recuperate, Young Master." Huang Ya replied respectfully.

Yang Yuyao watched Huang Ya put the red dates and bird's nest soup in front of him with a complicated mood. His knowledge of bird's nest basically came from the old movies that his grandfather liked to watch in the original world, and the rich characters in the movies. The ladies would always ask for a bowl of bird's nest from time to time, which made him always think that this was something for women. However, Yang Yuyao actually knows that bird's nest is indeed very suitable for women, but it does not mean that men cannot eat it. It's just that those old movies left such a deep impression on him that he wondered whether he was really attracted to it. Yu Lian was raised as a girl.

"Mother!" Yang Yuyao accepted the bowl of bird's nest and watched Huang Ya packing their breakfast utensils. He was about to ask Huang Ya to ask someone to help go out and give the book that Teng Yu mentioned yesterday but did not have in the house. After buying it and using it as teaching materials for these three people, Tao Yulian came over with Hongwan.

"Xiaoyao, how does this bird's nest taste? Mom remembers that you don't like sweet things, so she specifically asked the chef to make it lighter."

"Very good." Yang Yuyao responded. Bird's nest itself has no taste, but its texture is special. Although there is a saying that Tremella fungus is the equivalent of bird's nest, the taste is different.

"That's good." Tao Yulian smiled and nodded to He Qianqing. Huang Ya put all the packed things into the food box and stepped aside. "Xiaoyao, what are your plans today?"

"I'm about to ask someone to help me purchase a few books, and then I plan to continue to get familiar with the environment of the General's Mansion." Yang Yuyao replied. Although he has confessed his true state to Tao Yulian and others, he has currently handed over the task of making Xunlian to the clone puppet who returned to Danguo. The clone puppet can also have an incarnation outside the body, so the production is not slow.

It just so happened that he was a little tired of visiting Wonderland and wanted to do something else. This way the body also has time to adapt to the changes after returning home. For Yang Yuyao, getting along with people is much more tiring than visiting a wonderland, so his body needs to prepare more energy for this.

"Xiao Yao, when will the fox demon with whom you signed a master-servant contract arrive?" Tao Yulian then asked. Yang Yuyao looked at He Qianqing.

"I can do it tomorrow." He Qianqing answered this question for Yang Yuyao. Then they saw Yang Yuwei rushing into the east chamber like a whirlwind.

"Brother, would you like to go shopping with me today!" Yang Yuwei looked at Yang Yuyao, her eyes full of expectation. Yang Yuyao almost shuddered. He began to worry about whether his sister was a person who particularly liked to go out shopping. "Eh? Mom is here too? Mom, how about we go shopping with my eldest brother!" Yang Yuwei began to try to draw Tao Yulian into her camp and start coquettishly with Tao Yulian.

"Xiao Yao, you want to buy some books? In that case, let's go together so that you can see what else you want to buy?" Tao Yulian looked at Yang Yuyao and said.

"I want to take Teng Yu with me." Yang Yuyao thought for a while, and although he was not too willing to go out, he still agreed. Yang Yuyao had never read any of the books Teng Yu mentioned, so he took him directly and let him choose by himself. Yang Yuyao felt that this should avoid the embarrassment of buying back a book with the same name.

"Of course, will He Xianzun go too?" Tao Yulian looked at He Qianqing and asked.

"Of course." He Qianqing replied.

"How about I take Fengzhi and the others with me?" Yang Yuyao said. He felt that since there were already so many people who wanted to go together, it would be better to just call Li Fengzhi, You Shuangjiang and Zhu Molan, so that he If you don’t want to go shopping anymore, you can find a place to stay and let the people who want to go shopping continue to go shopping. If there are many people, they won’t focus all their attention on them.

"That's fine. My aunt and the others probably haven't visited the summer capital much, so it would be more lively if we all go together." Tao Yulian agreed with a smile.
