Fang Er, sitting in the courtyard, couldn't lift his spirits.
The four young maids hid by the courtyard entrance.
Whispering something, they were not sure.
After a while, Xiao Qing walked over.
"Young Master, you've been back for so many days. Shouldn't you go into the city for a stroll?"
Fang Er looked confused.
"Did something happen at the restaurant?"
Xiao Qing looked like she wished he were more ambitious.
Frowning her small brows.
"Young Master, shouldn't you pay a visit to the Chai family?"
"You are engaged, so you are family. After returning from a long journey, even to avoid suspicion from the young lady, you should pay a visit to Duke Chai."
Fang Er scratched his head.
"There's such a saying?"
"Do I really need to go?"
Xiao Qing nodded, her mouth puffed out.
"You must go, you absolutely must go!"
Fang Er truly didn't understand, but since Xiao Qing said he should go, he would.
It was a good chance to see his future wife.
Looking at the items in his system space, Fang Er didn't know what to bring.
"Hmm."
"Lollipops are fine."
"Let's get a can."
"And ham sausage, that's fine too, a box."
Of course, they had to be without any writing on the packaging.
After thinking, he remembered he had brought a bear penis back from Shenyang.
"Let's give it to Old Chai."
He packed the items into a wooden box and threw it directly onto the pickup truck.
Before leaving, he asked Xiao Qing.
"Are you coming?"
Xiao Qing's face blushed.
"It wouldn't be proper for Qing'er to accompany the Young Master to see the Young Lady."
She then returned to the backyard.
"Alright."
"If you're not coming, then you're not coming."
The pickup truck roared towards the Chai residence in Chang'an City.
The gatekeepers at the Chai residence, upon seeing Fang Er, were unusually enthusiastic.
"This is the future son-in-law!"
"The Marquis is here, please come in quickly."
"The master and young lady are playing chess in the courtyard."
"I'll take you there."
Saying this, he extended his hand, making an inviting gesture.
Fang Er pointed to the back of the truck.
"Take the things inside."
After speaking, he walked into the Chai residence on his own.
Heading directly to the backyard.
Chai Shao and Chai Yue were indeed playing chess.
Black and white Go stones, Fang Er didn't understand the game, but he could see that Chai Shao's black stones were few.
Clearly, the old man was losing.
Chai Shao, growing anxious as he saw he couldn't win, wanted to divert Chai Yue's attention. He looked up and saw Fang Er standing beside them.
"Ah! My worthy son-in-law is here!"
He quickly got up from his chair.
Flicking his wide sleeves, he directly scattered the chess pieces on the board.
Fang Er was speechless.
"Are you openly cheating?"
"Cheating against your own daughter?"
"How can I stand for this? That's my wife."
"Cough, cough, cough! Well, Father-in-law, let's finish the game first."
Chai Yue glanced shyly at Fang Er.
She softly called out.
"Husband."
Fang Er nodded, smiling.
"It's alright, Yue'er, this game must be finished."
Chai Yue chuckled and pointed at the chessboard.
"They're all mixed up, how can we play?"
Chai Shao said smugly.
"No more playing, no more playing. Let's call this game a draw."
Fang Er shook his head.
He walked forward and carefully rearranged the chess pieces one by one.
Chai Yue was stunned.
"With so many stones, how did you remember their positions?"
Chai Shao's face turned as black as a pot.
"Damn it, what kind of fellow have I found for my son-in-law?"
"Doesn't he give me any face at all?"
Fang Er extended his hand.
"Father-in-law, please, it's your turn to play."
Looking at Chai Shao's face, Chai Yue's pretty face bloomed like a flower.
Fang Er was mesmerized.
Chai Shao couldn't possibly continue playing chess.
He was a simpleton.
Yes. A ridiculously simpleton.
He wasn't very good at this to begin with. He only proposed playing chess because he saw Chai Yue sitting at home, bored, when they had nothing else to do.
As a result, he had lost two games already.
If he lost this one, it would be a three-game losing streak.
His eyes darted around, seeing Fang Er's dazed gaze.
He suddenly smiled and said.
"Hahaha, my worthy son-in-law, you and Yue'er haven't seen each other for half a year, right?"
"I'll go get some wine. We'll have lunch at home."
"You and Yue'er can chat. I'll be leaving now."
Saying this, without waiting for Fang Er to speak, he patted his backside and ran off.
Fang Er was dumbfounded.
"What a slick move!"
Chai Yue covered her mouth and giggled.
"Hehehe, my father is often like this. When he loses at chess, he finds an excuse to slip away."
"Uh."
Hearing Chai Yue's words, Fang Er felt awkward.
"What should I say?"
"I don't know how to date properly!"
"Waiting online, very urgent!"
Seeing Fang Er's appearance, Chai Yue let out a soft, charming cry.
"You dummy!"
"We haven't seen each other for half a year, don't you have anything you want to say to Yue'er?"
Fang Er scratched his head.
"Uh, well, how have you been this past half-year?"
Chai Yue rolled her eyes.
"Just that? Nothing else?"
Fang Er continued to scratch his head.
"Uh, well, I brought gifts, do you want to see them?"
Chai Yue immediately took Fang Er's hand.
"Your hair is all messy like a bird's nest. Sit still, Yue'er will get a comb."
Fang Er sat foolishly on the chair, not moving at all.
His mind was blank.
"System, come out, what should I say in this situation?"
System: "Do I still need to teach you this? One hug, two embraces, three into the bridal chamber, and after four months, have a baby, isn't that enough?"
Fang Er's forehead was covered in black lines!
"Have a baby in four months?"
"Becoming a father unexpectedly?"
"As expected, this guy is unreliable, I have to rely on myself."
It wasn't long before Chai Yue returned with a cow horn comb.
She helped Fang Er loosen his hair and comb it again.
Her movements were very gentle.
Fang Er's hair had always been managed by Xiao Qing.
Speaking of which, this feeling of having hair down to one's waist was truly awkward when he first arrived!
That saying from his previous life, "When my hair reaches my waist, will you marry me, my lord?"
If you dared to say that here, you'd be asking for trouble.
Everyone on the street had hair down to their waists.
After her hair was combed, Chai Yue reached out again and tidied Fang Er's collar.
A faint scent of soap directly entered Fang Er's nostrils.
Fang Er smacked his forehead.
"Yue'er, wait for me for a moment, I'll go get something."
He then walked towards the front.
Finding the servant who had guided him earlier.
"Where are the things I brought earlier?"
The servant pointed towards the front hall.
"Marquis, they are all in the front hall. The master hasn't inspected them, so they haven't been put into the storeroom."
Fang Er walked to the front hall and opened the box.
Looking at the servant's angle, he shouldn't be able to see this side.
Using the box lid to conceal his actions, he took out a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of body wash from his system space.
The 1500ml kind.
He glanced around, thankfully, there were bottles in his space.
They were bottles from the "Big Wusu" beer he had drunk before.
At that time, the bottle had stunned Xiao Qing, who said it was ten times better than the bottles made in the workshop.
So, Fang Er didn't casually discard them and threw them into his space.
Now they were finally useful.
He poured the shampoo and body wash into the beer bottles.
The two bottles instantly became six bottles.
Looking at the open-mouthed bottles.
Fang Er took out a small knife from his space and scanned the inside and outside of the front hall.
"Got it."
Outside the front hall was a small courtyard with a weapon rack.
Fang Er went to check it out and selected a long spear.
He directly cut the spear shaft into sections.
"Hmm. This spear shaft should have been treated."
The biggest advantage was that it was resistant to water, fire, and corrosion, and it wouldn't deform easily.
It could be used as a stopper.
