The horses, men and women living together, were allowed to do as they pleased… No! They absolutely could not be allowed to do as they pleased!
A fine horse must be paired with a good horse, otherwise, if inferior genes were mixed with inferior genes, wouldn't it result in a litter of even more inferior offspring?
After finally raising a horse, it couldn't even carry a person, so what kind of horse was that?
Bai Sheng decided to strip inferior horses of their right to love, mating, and reproduction, and demanded that her man immediately geld them all!
Horse breeding was a major undertaking. Letting them freely associate for so long, who knew how many inferior horses had been produced.
Alas, the love between men and women in this world did not stop at humans.
Bai Sheng hoped that the superior mare horses would keep their eyes wide open when choosing mates and not be deceived by short, scrawny, and scummy stallions.
Nor could those wild creatures in the space be deceived by scummy ones, and they should not learn from Lightning.
To avoid this situation, Bai Sheng planned to personally find "good matches" for her wild creatures on the way to the capital.
In addition, she would get some calves, piglets, and lambkins, and fish fry to raise in the space, so she could eat meat whenever she pleased.
Bianzhou and Changzhou were too poor, and it was hard to find good livestock. It should be better in Qingzhou.
Bai Sheng thought about a lot of miscellaneous things in her mind. Seeing Lu Ye still in the stable, she put the cubs into the space and went to find him.
Lu Ye took meticulous care of Black Wind, and the other horses were somewhat envious.
Especially that mare, who frequently winked at Black Wind to give birth to high-quality offspring.
So Bai Sheng's worries were a bit excessive; females in the animal kingdom naturally possessed radar for identifying scoundrels and rejecting the inferior.
Black Wind had just reached adulthood and had not yet opened his heart to love. He was somewhat frightened by the enthusiastic opposite sex.
Were the mares nowadays so lacking in reserve and grace?
“Husband, it’s time to go back and wash up to sleep,” Bai Sheng said with a smile.
Lu Ye bowed and kissed her forehead. “Almost done. I’ll clean the bugs off the three horses so they don’t itch and buck while we’re on the road.”
Bai Sheng squatted and waited.
After Lu Ye finished cleaning, Bai Sheng sent all the horses into the space.
The lush grass and spiritual spring water in the space could help them recover their strength quickly.
The more troublesome thing was that Bai Sheng had to release them all before dawn, otherwise, it would be easy to reveal the secret.
After the couple returned to the room hand in hand, they closed the doors and windows and entered the space.
The four cubs were asleep, watched over by Lightning and Storm.
Bai Sheng pulled Lu Ye and walked towards the horse farm. “Husband, I suddenly thought of something. We should grade our horses. Good breeds should be paired with good breeds, middle-grade horses should be gradually optimized with good breeds, and inferior horses should be directly gelded. They don’t deserve to have offspring.”
Inferior horses: At this moment, we implore you to calculate the area of the shadow in our hearts.
Lu Ye chuckled, “Good girl, I’ve already done everything you’ve thought of. Since we got those horses from the military camp, I’ve taken the time to classify them, and all the inferior horses have been… gelded.”
“Wow, husband, you’re amazing. You think of everything and you’re so great!” Bai Sheng threw herself into Lu Ye’s arms and rubbed her face against his chest muscles.
Lu Ye was flattered by her praise, and his heart itched from her rubbing. He scooped up Bai Sheng and prepared to do the business of good breed humans mating with good breed humans.
The creatures in the space, out of habit, scrambled and quickly evaded.
The next day, Lu Huo and the other three went out shopping, with Tong Tie and Tie to act as their escorts.
Tong Tie felt that it was purely unnecessary for the two of them to be escorts. With Lu Huo’s build, he could guard the house if left at home and ward off evil spirits in the wilderness. Wherever he stood, no one dared to provoke him, and he could even protect them when necessary.
They really wanted to go play with Yang Ming and the others. They were all men, so it would be much more comfortable.
Lu Yin saw Tong Tie’s impatience and handed them two candied hawthorns, instantly making them feel that Lu Huo, after all, was a flower, just made of the material of their names.
Yang Ming and Wei Han took the five cubs and the two young servants of the Wen family out to play. Lu Yu used all his savings to treat everyone to various snacks.
It wasn’t that he was generous, but rather that these people were too patient. They drooled at the street food but were reluctant to spend a single coin.
He bought them himself, and he couldn’t let everyone just watch him eat, as that would be too cruel.
So, he decided to be generous for once, and everyone enjoyed themselves together.
Wei Han, who was 1.8 meters tall, seemed to have never experienced shopping and eating snacks. He was as happy as a child, jumping and skipping.
This made the six-year-old Lu Yu exude a fatherly kindness. He always gave Wei Han the food first after buying it, putting himself in second place.
Wei Han was so touched that he almost called Lu Yu "daddy."
Bai Sheng spent the morning in her inn room designing saddlebags and satchels. She didn't care about aesthetics, only practicality and durability.
After drawing many blueprints, she finally designed a style with two saddlebags in the front and back, imitating the style of modern life jackets.
Lu Huo was tall and strong, and wearing it to carry the babies should be very stable.
By noon, no one had returned yet. It was presumed they had bought food outside, so Bai Sheng didn't worry about them.
Wen Zhi Mo was practicing his chest muscles in the backyard, and the wet nurses were resting in the room. Lu Ye, taking advantage of the absence of others, immediately asked Bai Sheng to put the four cubs into the space. He planned to take her out for a stroll and have their own world for two.
Bai Sheng also wanted to visit the rouge and powder shops in Yecheng and gauge the market for ancient rouge, powder, and skincare products.
The couple left the inn hand in hand.
Once on the street, they instantly attracted the attention of passersby.
The bolder old women, wives, and girls all cast glances at Lu Ye, first appreciating his face, then his Adam's apple, and then imagining what he would look like with his clothes off…
Bai Sheng felt her man was like walking hormones, too attractive.
And the men, after scanning Lu Ye, cursed him as a pretty boy under their breath. When their gaze passed Bai Sheng, they could no longer avert their eyes.
This maiden in pink, with a cinched waist and a silk skirt, had a face like the peach blossoms on a clear morning, dark eyes like ink, flowing water-like eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, red lips and white teeth, a slender neck and full chest, and a willow-like waist, more lively than a fairy in a painting.
Lu Ye glared at the vulgar gazes and quickly walked forward, pulling Bai Sheng.
There were not many shops specializing in women's products in Yecheng. There were only two or three rouge and powder shops, and many small vendors, but who knew if those products were for beautification or disfigurement.
There were almost no shops selling women's underwear or menstrual products.
This was the situation in Yecheng; who knew what the capital would be like.
Lu Ye bought Bai Sheng a pink jade cherry blossom hairpin, which matched her outfit perfectly.
Everyone returned home before dinner.
Lu Huo gave Bai Sheng the remaining four taels of silver and settled the accounts for the money spent that day.
This was a good habit, and Bai Sheng did not interfere.
