Chapter 527 The girls meet
Liu Ye laughed and said, "I left you at home to keep watch, and you quietly managed to get a wife?"
The officer was Shi Ying, and his face flushed red when he heard the general's teasing.
Shi Ying and Su Xiaomei met over a year ago. At that time, he was the battalion commander of the First Battalion, and Su Xiaomei's elder brother, Su Hongtu, was his platoon leader. Su Hongtu brought his younger brother and sister to the city and encountered a pickpocket. Shi Ying bravely intervened and the two became acquainted. Afterward, Su Xiaomei stayed to work in the clothing factory and often visited her brother in the barracks. She had more and more contact with Shi Ying, and since they both came from poor families, they didn't adhere to the traditional separation of men and women. They grew closer and closer, eventually reaching the point of discussing marriage.
"General?"
The Su family was a military family, and all three siblings were either serving in the army, studying, or working under the Qionghai Navy. Naturally, they knew that there was only one person in the Qionghai Navy who could be called a general: Xia Tiannan. Old Man Su looked at Huang Hansheng with suspicion, then at Liu Ye. Shi Ying was already a regimental commander, a figure at the very top of the pyramid. Even he treated him with utmost respect, so there couldn't be any mistake.
Old Su reacted faster than the brother and sister, quickly pulling his wife, Su Liu, and the two siblings down to kneel and begin kowtowing.
Liu Ye quickly pulled the men up, saying, "Old folks, get up! The Qionghai Army doesn't kneel like that."
Old Su didn't believe it and kowtowed three times before daring to get up.
Shi Ying introduced, "General, these are Su Hongtu's family members. This is my second brother, who is studying at Baicao Academy. Because he is an excellent student, he has already started receiving a stipend. This is my younger sister, who works at the clothing factory and is now the manager's assistant."
Upon hearing that they were Su Hongtu's family, Liu Ye felt even closer to them. He said to the old man Su warmly, "Old man, you have raised your children very successfully. Your eldest son is the most accomplished. He is now a regimental commander in Shandong and is on par with Regimental Commander Shi... Of course, your second brother and younger sister are also good. Your whole family is full of loyal martyrs!"
As soon as he said it, he felt that the phrase "a family of loyal martyrs" seemed inappropriate. He was not the emperor, and the Su family were not subjects. His whole family was alive and well and had not died.
But Old Su didn't care about any of that. In his eyes, Liu Ye was the heavens, even greater than the emperor. What could an emperor sitting on the dragon throne give him? The reason he could eat his fill and live such a good life was all thanks to Liu Ye. Hearing the general praise him personally, his face crinkled with joy: "The boss is now on equal footing with Commander Shi? That's wonderful..."
After being quietly reminded by Su Erdi, Old Man Su finally knew what to say: "This...it's all thanks to the General's excellent teaching that they've become so successful..."
Liu Ye waved his hand, "No need for all this formalities, old man. You're a straightforward and honest person, and I'll be honest with you too. All three of your children work for me, and they're all doing very well in their respective fields. I should thank you. How about this, I'll recognize Su Xiaomei as my god-sister, making her half a member of her family. I'll cover her dowry and guarantee a grand wedding. And if Shi Ying bullies her after the wedding, I'll stand up for her!"
Su Xiaomei was both surprised and delighted, her face turning as red as an apple. Old Man Su couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear; she had really climbed the social ladder, it was truly a stroke of good luck.
Shi Ying laughed awkwardly a few times. Now that's it, he won't dare to say a harsh word to Su Xiaomei anymore.
After enjoying a lively and pleasant lunch at the Su family's house, Liu Ye returned to Nanyuan.
Upon hearing that the master had returned, Tang Yu went to the front yard to greet him. When he saw Dong Xiaowan and Su Wen beside him, he was stunned.
Liu Ye coughed twice: "Let me introduce you. This is Dong Xiaowan from Suzhou, and this is Suwen, the young lady who helps me manage Wanhualou in Hangzhou."
Tang Yu realized what was going on: "Is she the master's confidante? Don't stand there yet. You must be tired from your journey from Suzhou and Hangzhou. You should rest first. I'll have someone clean the room."
Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although no one dared to question his bringing women back, if the women were at odds and the harem was in turmoil, it would be a troublesome matter. He didn't have the energy to spend on appeasing his wives and concubines. Now, as long as Tang Yu had no objections, everything was fine. He added, "Arrange a maid for both Miss Xiaowan and Miss Suwen. They're new here and not used to the environment; they can't be without someone to take care of them."
Tang Yu respectfully agreed and turned to arrange for the servants. Liu Ye didn't see the hint of sadness that flashed in her eyes after she turned away.
Liu Ye then turned to Ling Xi'er, "You'll understand the master, right?"
Ling Xi'er smiled and said, "Master, you shouldn't go to sea so easily in the future..."
Liu Ye asked curiously, "Why?"
"If the master brings back a young lady every time he goes out to sea, last time it was Sister Chiyo, and this time it's Sister Dong and Sister Suwen, the South Garden will soon be too small, and we'll have to build a new garden..."
Everyone laughed. Liu Ye laughed the most. Ling Xi'er was the most understanding and worry-free person among them, and it was very comfortable to be around her.
Liu Ye said to Dong Xiaowan and Suwen, "Let me introduce them. Tang Yu is here to arrange servants and prepare your room, and this is Ling Xi'er. They are both my concubines."
Not long after, Tang Yu arranged rooms and took Dong Xiaowan and Suwen to rest. Dong Xiaowan and Suwen both noticed Tang Yu's special position in the family due to the absence of the first wife, and deliberately tried to befriend her along the way. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Although Tang Yu was a little annoyed by Dong Xiaowan and Suwen's arrival, their attitude made her feel much better.
Liu Ye had been traveling for days, and was exhausted. The first thing he wanted to do upon returning to Nanyuan was to take a bath and change clothes to wash away his fatigue. After giving the order, servants prepared water and a bathtub.
While soaking in hot water, Liu Ye felt a little regretful. Although the upper class in feudal society lived a luxurious life and enjoyed privileges that modern people could not enjoy, their material conditions were far less convenient than those of modern times. He wished Liang Xiaoming could invent a bathtub and a flush toilet.
After he finished bathing, he went into the backyard flower hall and was surprised to see a group of women chatting intimately.
Women are such strange creatures; they can be as close as sisters the first time they meet, Liu Ye thought to himself.
After chatting with them for a while, Liu Ye felt drowsy and said, "If you feel tired, go lie down for a while. If I'm not awake by mealtime, you can eat by yourselves without waking me." Back in his bedroom, he was probably truly exhausted; his head hit the pillow and he fell asleep immediately. He slept soundly for several hours.
When he woke up, it was already midnight. The moonlight, like water, shone through the window and into the room, allowing him to see a person lying next to him.
The person lay with their back to her, wearing only a thin undergarment, revealing their bare shoulders and back. Judging from their figure, Liu Ye knew it was Tang Yu; she had a shapely and exquisite figure.
He hadn't tasted a woman's touch for a while. During his time in Nanjing, apart from Shimazu Chiyo, he hadn't been with any other woman. Although Dong Xiaowan had offered herself to him before he left, the constant travel at sea had kept him from touching her, and he was truly pent up. He quickly stripped off his clothes, moved over naked, and embraced Tang Yu from behind, groping his way to a spot where the Japanese soldiers were secretly working in the village.
A slight pain woke Tang Yu. She turned her head sleepily and asked, "Master, you're awake?" She then tried to turn over.
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't move, stay in this position." Liu Ye had already breached the city walls, how could he bear to retreat unscathed? At the same time, his hands weren't idle either, reaching inside Tang Yu's undergarments to knead her breasts. Her breasts were neither too big nor too small, just the right size to be grasped in one hand, and their greatest strength was their elasticity.
With claws lashing at her chest from the front and the city gates falling behind, Tang Yu quickly got into the zone, panting heavily.
Having suppressed his emotions for so long, Liu Ye began a fierce and sustained sprint, quickly sending Tang Yu to the heights of ecstasy. Tang Yu could no longer control herself and shouted loudly, her voice echoing through the windows and reverberating in the backyard.
Dong Xiaowan was startled awake by the cries. Realizing what was happening, she blushed deeply. Although she remained a virgin and had never experienced sexual intercourse, being a courtesan, she was no stranger to such matters. Upon hearing the cries, she instantly understood their meaning. She had expected the cries to subside quickly, but they continued unabated, sometimes soaring high, sometimes softly murmuring, never ceasing.
Dong Xiaowan sensed Tang Yu's pleasure from his cries, and her heart pounded: He's so amazing, what will become of him in the future?
That night, Liu Ye's room was filled with passionate lovemaking, while the others couldn't sleep a wink.
