The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

The renovation of Lou Yunsi's villa was proceeding in an orderly manner. Wangcai moved the chair over and said, "Madam, I have already made the chair. Do you think it's okay?"

When Lou Yunsi saw the ant-like hole, she was really impressed. She said to Wangcai speechlessly, "Wangcai, what's wrong with you? Didn't I ask you to make a big hole in the chair? It's such a small hole? Even the sand can't flow in, right?"

Wangcai quickly said, "Miss, this chair is for sitting. If you make a big hole on it, how can people sit on it?"

Lou Yunsi said unhappily, "I asked you to make a big hole, of course I have my reasons. When it's done, I'll take you to test it. Hurry up and make another big hole, the kind that people won't fall out of if they sit on it. Don't make the hole too big, or someone will fall in if they sit on it, and that would be dangerous!"

Wangcai probably understood what Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi said. After a while, he brought the chair over again, pointed at it and said to Lou Yunsi, "Madam, do you think this is okay?"

Lou Yunsi looked at it and felt it was pretty good. She sat on it and found it was just the right size.

Wangcai said nervously: "Madam, the hole is quite big, be careful not to fall!"

Lou Yunsi said, "It's okay! The size is just right, Wangcai, you are quite amazing. You finished it in less than a short time. I didn't expect you to be such an excellent decorator!"

Wangcai looked confused and asked Lou Yunsi: "Madam, what decorator are you talking about?"

Lou Yunsi said: "Oh, a decorator is what you call a carpenter now. You have quite a skillful hand."

Wangcai quickly replied, "My father used to be a carpenter. Usually in the mansion, the servants always asked me to do these wood cutting and repairing jobs. I learned it very quickly. They all said that my father was a great carpenter, and I also learned his skills. As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son! I don't quite understand what it means, I think it's a compliment!"

Lou Yunsi said in surprise: "So your father is so powerful, why haven't you ever mentioned him?"

Wangcai explained: "In fact, I have forgotten what my father looked like. My father died when I was very young. My mother followed another man. They were short of money, so they sold me to another family. Later, I was sold to the Fan Mansion. I have no memory of my parents!"

Seeing Wangcai's sad face, Lou Yunsi thought of herself. How come her life experience is similar to his? Her mother also ran away with someone. Lou Yunsi patted Wangcai and said, "Hey bro., let the past be the past. Everyone has a tragic past. Let's just live well today, tomorrow, and every day in the future!"

Wangcai didn’t quite understand what Lou Yunsi said at the beginning, but he understood what she said later, so he nodded.

In order to skip this awkward and sad topic, Lou Yunsi changed the subject and said, "Let's go, our talented carpenter, Wangcai, and try out this chair."

At this time, Luo Yun prepared a floral aromatherapy according to the method that Lou Yunsi had said, and was about to bring it over to show Lou Yunsi. She found Wangcai carrying a chair with a big hole in it, and couldn't help but walked up to him and asked curiously, "Miss, why is there a big hole in the middle of this chair? What is it used for?"

Lou Yunsi said, "Well, you have to experience it yourself to know. You can come with us! Have you prepared your aromatherapy?"

Luo Yun replied: "Yes, Miss, I made it as you said, adding some flower petals and mixing it. It smells delicious, come and smell it!"

Luo Yun opened the box of aromatherapy, it smelled really good. Lou Yunsi thought: things from ancient times are just good, they are not afraid of cutting corners and the quality is top-notch.

Lou Yunsi asked Luo Yun to put away the aromatherapy and prepare it for later use.

Lou Yunsi brought Wangcai and Luo Yun to the toilet. Lou Yunsi asked Wangcai to put the chair in the toilet and explained, "We usually squat. Sometimes, our legs get numb after squatting for a long time. With this, we can sit down. It's okay to sit for a long time. It also gives us more time to relax and meditate. It's very practical!"

Lou Yunsi said to Luo Yun: "Xiao Yun, put the aromatherapy I asked you to mix next to it, so that it can effectively eliminate the odor and maintain the fragrance!"

Wangcai exclaimed: "Madam, you are so smart. You can actually think of such a way. This way, I can squat longer when I go to the toilet in the future."

Luo Yun said, "That's wishful thinking. Let me try it out and tell you the result! Madam, you are amazing! You have thought of such a good idea."

Lou Yunsi smiled and thought: In our world, it is much better than this. Now resources are limited, so I'll just have to make do with it.

After the toilet was renovated, Lou Yunsi said to Wangcai, "Wangcai, I also want to make a wooden rocking chair. If I draw it, can you make it according to my drawing?"

Wangcai said confidently: "Madam, I am sure I can do it."

So, Lou Yunsi ran to the study again, picked up paper and pen and started drawing. After she finished, she gave it to Wangcai.

Wangcai actually made a wooden rocking chair according to Lou Yunsi's drawing. The craftsmanship was so exquisite that it didn't look like it was made by an ordinary family. It seemed that Wangcai had some talent in wood.

Lou Yunsi sat on it and rocked it a few times. It was quite firm, so she asked Luo Yun to try it. Luo Yun was very happy while rocking it, and said quickly: "Madam, this is so fun. It can rock back and forth. It's really fun!"

Lou Yunsi said, "There are many more interesting things!" So, Lou Yunsi asked Wangcai to make a swing chair. Lou Yunsi and Luo Yun found some vines, and the three of them hung up the swing chair together.

Lou Yunsi asked Luo Yun to sit on it and try it out. After Luo Yun sat on it, Lou Yunsi gently pushed her from behind. Luo Yun shouted, "Ah!" Luo Yun rushed forward with the swing chair. Luo Yun shouted, "Madam, this is so fun! It can go so high!"

Wangcai immediately said, "Madam, are you a god sent from heaven? How come you know everything?"

Lou Yunsi was embarrassed by the praise and said, "Look at what you said. In our place, these are all child's play!"

Wangcai asked in confusion: "You guys? Where? Which child got hit?"

Lou Yunsi smiled and said: "No, I just want to say that as long as you like it, we will use these together in the future."

When Luo Yun and Wang Cai heard that they could use it together, they said happily, "Madam is so nice!"

Lou Yunsi looked at the swing thoughtfully, and suddenly thought of something fun, so she said to Luo Yun, "Xiao Yun, go and weave a big net that can hold a person, and make it thicker."

Luo Yun replied: "Okay, Madam, have you thought of something fun again?"

Lou Yunsi smiled and said, "You'll know when you finish weaving!"

A few days later, Luo Yun really wove a very large and thick net, so Lou Yunsi asked Wangcai to hang it between two trees, pointed and said: "This is our hammock for sunbathing in the yard. We can sunbathe and sleep leisurely at the same time!"

Wangcai looked at it and said, "Madam, I will sleep well here tonight. It looks so comfortable and fun!"

Lou Yunsi shook her head and said, "No, you can only lie down in the sun during the day. There will be mosquitoes and bugs at night. You should sleep in your room at night."

Wangcai nodded, climbed up, and tried it out. He found that it could shake while lying on it, and Wangcai was so happy that he was lying there.

Luo Yun seemed to have thought of something, and said to Lou Yunsi: "Madam, the cushions you asked me to sew a few days ago have been sewn."

Lou Yunsi praised: "You two are simply the best team. You finished it so quickly!"

Luo Yun asked: "Madam, I didn't make a beat block, I said I sewed a cushion."

Lou Yunsi smiled and said to Luo Yun: "What I mean is that you two are really amazing. You can be called my right and left hands. Without you, I can't transform my yard."

Luo Yun smiled broadly when he heard Lou Yunsi's praise.

Lou Yunsi continued, "We can use these cushions you made to cushion our chairs in the winter, so our butts won't get cold!"

Luo Yun looked at the lady in front of him with shining eyes, feeling it was incredible. The cowardly girl before had now become the general's wife, and was so smart. It was amazing!
