After eating, he once again stuffed himself with pickled radishes and pickles made by his own family, and returned home happily humming a tune.
Li Xiu’e, having had dinner with the two children, was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool.
Seeing him return contentedly, she greeted him with a smile, took the pickled radish and pickles, sniffed them, and appraised them a little arrogantly, stating that they were not as delicious as her own pickles.
Su Hu burst into hearty laughter, embraced his wife, planted a noisy kiss on her face; he was overjoyed.
Li Xiu’e cheeks turned red, she forcefully brushed his hands away, and took the pickles into the kitchen.
At night, the couple retired to bed to sleep, and Su Qingluo also washed up early and went to bed, enjoying a rejuvenating moonlight bath, and entered the dreamland happily.
“Chirp chirp.”
Little Kingfisher flew back from outside in the middle of the night, slipped through the cracks in the window, landed on its little master’s chest with fluttering wings.
“Yin’er, where have you been off to play again? You’re only coming back now? ”
Su Qingluo felt a soft ball of flesh pressing on her chest, forcing her to feel slightly uncomfortable. She rubbed her eyelids, opened her eyes, and looked at Little Kingfisher.
“Master, a group of government officers has come from across the river. They’ve expropriated a hundred acres of land from several wealthy households to construct a royal villa.”
Little Kingfisher was well-informed; its news was more accurate than the Imperial Court’s.
“A hundred acres of land to build a royal villa?”
Su Qingluo’s sleepiness vanished; she was no longer sleepy: “The extravagance of the royal family is indeed extraordinary.”
“Isn’t it?”
Little Kingfisher agreed very much; there was an indignant sneer: “Those officers, who came from the Capital City, strutted around like lords, eating, drinking, and taking things in the homes of wealthy families, even requiring maids to serve them.”
Su Qingluo shook her head sadly: “Did the officers say when they will start work?”
“Work starts immediately.”
Little Kingfisher heard it very clearly: “They said a nobleman from the palace wanted to recuperate in the countryside, fancying the geography across the river, so they expropriated the land to build the villa.”
“To recuperate, huh.”
Su Qingluo, for some reason, pictured Little Baby’s soft, cute face in her mind, a tiny tremor flickered in her heart.
She wondered how that poor little boy was doing now?
Was the Divine Doctor of the Medicine King Valley able to cure his illness?
“Master, when are we going back to the mysterious valley?”
Little Kingfisher’s quick mind had already moved on to new thoughts, leaving the royal villa at the back of its head.
“We’ll wait for an opportunity.”
Su Qingluo rubbed her forehead and yawned, a wave of sleepiness washing over her: “Mother’s back, she’s keeping a close eye, can’t sneak out.”
“Alright, master. Go to sleep, getting plenty of rest helps one to grow taller.” Little Kingfisher, very considerate, curled up into a ball and closed its eyes first.
“You sure do sleep fast.”
Su Qingluo lovingly massaged its little head, a few soft, pleasant chuckles emerged from her throat, she then peacefully closed her eyes and entered the dreamland.
The first snowfall of early winter was much harsher than expected.
As the end of the year approached, the sky was filled with falling feathers of heavy snow, and the majestic mountains became dressed in silver overnight.
The snow was deep, knee-deep, no birds or beasts were to be seen in the mountains, it was peacefully quiet.
The heavy snow closed off the mountains, the hunters stayed home, and Woniu Village got a rare burst of activity.
The men would get together in groups, betting on games and drinking wine. Passing by each household, the lively laughter and intoxicating aroma of wine spread throughout the entire village.
Su Zixuan, having finished his autumn semester, now having free time, secretly wished to deepen his bond with Black Wind.
The roads were slippery due to snow, the two young horses were afraid of the cold and were not suitable for grazing outdoors.
Su Hu built two horse stables, storing a large quantity of fodder to prepare for the horses to spend the winter.
Black Wind was wild, unlike the gentle Jujube, even when tied in the stable it was restless, frequently biting off the rope and escaping from the yard, running around in the village.
Su Zixuan was always frantic with worry that it might hurt its leg running around in the snow. Every time he found the stable empty, he would go out in the snow in search of it..
