095 – Armed Servants
When Lei Tie came out of the space after picking vegetables, Qin Mian asked him about his experience in the past few days while cooking. Lei Tie said it one by one. Although he said it succinctly, Qin Mian knew that he galloped without stopping to come home as soon as possible, which made his heart warm. Hey, such a good man is his!
He swiftly made a serving of eggplant with minced meat, a serving of golden garlic spare ribs, a serving of sweet-sour pork slices, a serving of scrambled egg with instant noodles, and a serving of braised pakchoi.
“Awoo.” White Spot was unwilling to be left in the cold and rubbed against Qin Mian’s legs.
Qin Mian smiled and chopped some meat bones for it.
Qin Mian slept too much in the afternoon that when he lay in bed at night, he couldn’t sleep. Lei Tie also wasn’t sleepy and embraced him from the back with his right palm disorderly move on his (QM) body.
Qin Mian was agitated and anxious for further intimacy. However, he was afraid to lead an X-life at this young age, which was not good for his health. Why did he consciously think he’s the bottom? However, looking at Lei Tie’s height, body, and sturdy tight muscles, could Qin Mian press him down?
Lei Tie lifted his nightclothes, the hot breath behind him inched closer, and finally stayed in his ear. Then, a hand pushed aside his hair before a hot kiss fell on his nape, sucking heavily.
Qin Mian squinted and was seized with an impulse to moan, “Uhm…”
Lei Tie seemed to be encouraged and raised his left leg to lock the other’s body, “Wife, I want you.”
Qin Mian hesitated for only two seconds before turning around and took the initiative to hold the man. Since both sides were willing, why made both sides suffer? As for being young – once in a while, it shouldn’t matter. X-life was a harmonious affair and good for physical and mental health.
“A-Tie…”
In the dark, Lei Tie let out a low growl like a starving wolf and pounced on him.
……
When Qin Mian woke up, his body felt like being crushed by a stone roller. Recalling that the guy seemed to have endless energy last night, he would like to kick him immediately. Fortunately, his body felt refresh, which meant Lei Tie had cleaned him up. The smell of chicken wafted in from the outside. He rubbed his waist and sat up slowly.
“Wife.”
Qin Mian looked at the man standing at the door, whose eyes were full of tenderness. Suddenly, he couldn’t say any blame words, but the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably.
Lei Tie sat down on the edge of the bed and encircled his back, “Wife.”
The man had no clothes on top. Qin Mian patted him on the chest as he leaned against him. He first made basic rules, “Later, three times a month at most!”
To his surprise, Lei Tie nodded without hesitation. He surprisingly looked at Lei Tie.
“You are still young.” Lei Tie changed the topic, “I stewed a chicken. I’ll bring a bowl over.”
Qin Mian had a smiling expression as he glanced at him, “Today, I must eat light food.”
Lei Tie immediately stood up, “Lie down for a while. I’ll cook porridge.”
Qin Mian shook his head, “I’ve woken up, so I don’t want to lie down.”
Lei Tie took out a suit of clothes from the wardrobe and handed it to him. He lowered his head and kissed him before going out.
After Qin Mian had dressed up, he took Lei Tie’s upper clothes and walked out of the room.
Outside the house, the hot sunshine shone on the ground was dazzling yellow. The soil looked almost dried. Supposedly, it was afternoon.
Qin Mian walked into the kitchen and threw the clothes to Lei Tie. “Why are you half-naked? Lest others don’t know?”
Lei Tie took the clothes and put them on, shaking his head, “It’s hot in the kitchen.”
Qin Mian hugged his waist and said lazily, “It’s a little hot today. Now it’s fine. When we’re in the seventh and eighth months, I’m afraid our house will be hotter, especially our room. There’s no ventilation.”
His wife took the initiative to get close, so Lei Tie quickly reached out and embraced him for fear he would withdraw. “I thought about it. Expand the house as soon as possible.”
“How to expand it?” Qin Mian also had this idea, but he didn’t have time to think about it.
Lei Tie motioned him to sit down. “I’ll cook porridge first. We’ll talk about it later.”
Qin Mian shook his head and let him go. “I’ll wash first.”
After washing, Qin Man returned to the kitchen. Lei Tie had already cooked the porridge. Unexpectedly, this guy knew to add some ingredients, vegetables, and minced meat to the porridge.
Lei Tie handed him a cup of water.
Qin Mian took a drink. He then leaned on the kitchen stove and resumed the previous topic, “You said about expansion, how?”
Lei Tie pulled him to the central room. The front and back doors of the main room were open, so it was very cool.
“Expand to the west. Build a house of the same size as this house next to the west wall. Then, make a passage from our room. The new house divides into two rooms; one for our bedroom and the other for the storehouse.”
Qin Mian nodded as he listened. “It’s good. But I want to make the new house two stories. Just like you said, make a passage from the present room. There are going to be two rooms on the first floor; one guest room and one storehouse. We’ll set the door of the storehouse outside, no need to go inside. The whole second floor is going to be a shared bedroom and study, spacious and comfortable. We’ll make the windows in the north and south larger, so it would be cool to live in the summer. Then, we’ll make a small terrace where we can drink tea and see the scenery in our spare time. In winter, we can move back to our bedroom on the first floor.”
His wife planned better than him. Lei Tie nodded, “Listen to you.”
When Qin Mian finished his porridge, they rang Xile and asked him to bring Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, and the nine newly bought people.
The nine newly arrived people had gone through a night and a morning of rest. Provided with the briefing from Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, and Xile, the nine new people had a general understanding of the situation of Leisurely Farm Residence. Upon seeing Qin Mian and Lei Tie sat at the stone table, the nine people saluted them respectfully.
“Greetings, Eldest Young Master, Little Young Master.”
At the side, Xile stood at ready with hands behind his back and looked at Lei Tie and Qin Mian. As usual, the Eldest Young Master was expressionless, and Little Young Master was gentle. However, he always felt that the atmosphere between the two masters was different and closer than ever. Even if their limbs did not touch, their eyes collided from time to time, revealing an undescribable fit.
Anyway, if the two masters had a good relationship, it meant a good thing for their servants. When the masters were in a good mood, they also worked in relaxation. Xile then stopped contemplating it.
“Masters, please bestow them names,” Xile said with curiosity. When a master gave the family servant a name with a surname, it usually followed the surname of the master. Although the two masters were husband and wife, they were men after all, and Qin Mian was always in charge of the family. Which young masters’ surname would the new nine people follow?
The nine youths said at the same time, “Please bestow us names, Masters.” By bestowing them names allowed them to integrate into Leisurely Farm Residence as soon as possible.
Qin Mian understood that naming was a way for servants to start a new life as soon as possible and to enhance their bond with their masters. Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu were husband and wife, and they were old, so he did not want to deprive them of their original names. But this time, these teenagers were still young, which most inexperienced, and had strong mouldability. Later on, they would be his and Lei Tie’s capable helpers. Resounding names were necessary.
Qin Mian also thought of Xile’s curiosity. After thinking for a moment, he decided to use both his and Lei Tie’s surnames. As their family’s business grew bigger and bigger, the fact that Lei Tie and he were husband and wife would surely spread further. Instead of waiting for people to make a joke of them in the future, it was better to build momentum now. A matter known to all was not worth mentioning.
Qin Mian took a look at Lei Tie.
Lei Tie’s eyes fixed on him with only brand-new trust.
He gave a light smile, looked at the nine teenagers in turn, and said, “Line up from the oldest to the youngest.”
After the nine people stood still, Qin Mian said, “From left to right, your name is Lei-Qin Zhong[loyal]…”
Lei Tie grabbed his wife’s hand to put it on his leg and covered it with his big palm.
Xile beamed with a smile. The two masters had a great relationship.
Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu also had smiles on their faces.
“Lei-Qin Gong[respectful], Lei-Qin Shun[obey], Lei-Qin Cheng[sincere], Lei-Qin Xin[truthful].” Qin Mian turned his head to look at Lei Tie and said discontentedly, “Don’t just sit, help me think of a few names.”
Lei Tie looked at the remaining four, “Lei-Qin Hui[benevolence], Lei-Qin Jian[resolute], Lei-Qin Li[reason], and Lei-Qin Yuan[tactful].”
These names all sounded great, not like the names of servants. Happiness shone on the faces of the nine teenagers. They said in unison, “Many thanks Eldest Young Master and Little Young Master for bestowing our names.”
Qin Mian asked faintly, “You all must already know the rules of Leisurely Farm Residence?”
“Yes!”
“Good. As long as you do not violate the rules of Leisurely Farm Residence, I believe we’ll get along very well.” Qin Mian smiled faintly, “We bought you to be cultivated as armed servants. From today on, you’ll learn martial arts with Eldest Young Master. If you do well, you can take on more important responsibilities in the future.”
“Yes!”
Xile’s expression changed slightly. Learn martial arts? He also wanted to learn it.
Qin Mian faintly looked at him. “Xile. From now on, you also train with them and serve as the team leader for the time being.”
Xile was overjoyed. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, “Many thanks, Little Young Master! This little one will live up to Masters’ trust!”
“Get up.” Qin Mian looked very pleased.
Xile didn’t get up. He smiled as he bowed to Qin Mian and Lei Tie, “Eldest Young Master and Little Young Master. May I be bold to ask Masters to change my name? I also want to be surnamed Lei-Qin. Once heard, people will know that I belong to Masters’ family.”
Qin Mian felt very comfortable with this flattery.
Lei Tie looked at Xile with appreciation.
Because of this look, Xile nearly jumped up with excitement.
Qin Mian thought for a moment and said, “You will be called Lei-Qin Le. What do you think, A-tie?”
Lei Tie nodded.
“Thank you very much, Masters!” Lei-Qin Le was so happy he grinned from ear to ear.
Qin Mian asked Lei Tie, “Start today?”
Lei Tie shook his head and told Lei-Qin Le, “Take them to run around the courtyard wall first and then run another circle after half a quarter of rest. After running, do farm work.”
“Yes. I’ll take my leave.” Lei-Qin Le was more spirited than ever before. With a wave of his hand, “All follow me.”
