Indeed, the lonely and cold Mini Hum had become a close friend of the three dogs in the residence. This was because, in the entire large mansion, besides Lu Hua, only the three of them knew that Hum Hum was the space administrator and couldn't speak human language.
Sharing a secret made one pig and three dogs into intimate confidantes.
Uncle Ding laughed heartily, "Oh my, this dog is truly miraculous! It likes the young madam so much as soon as it sees her!"
Bai Sheng: Heh heh…
Seeing the three dogs vying for favor in front of their master, Bao Yu immediately jumped off the carriage and, with a loud "owoo," swaggered over.
Upon seeing Bao Yu, the three dogs instantly cowered. They obediently dismounted from Lu Ye and Bai Sheng, lowered their dog ears, and stood to the side, whimpering.
Uncle Ding's face paled in shock and he cried out, "A wolf! Such a large white wolf!"
Lu Yun immediately stepped forward and said with a giggle, "Uncle Ding, this is the wolf we keep at home. Its name is Bao Yu. Don't worry, it's very well-behaved."
Praise for being well-behaved, Bao Yu narrowed its eyes at Uncle Ding, revealing a wolf-like smile.
Ah… this, even wolves have become spirits!! Uncle Ding felt a prickle all over, as if he weren't in the human world.
Seeing Uncle Ding's state, Lu Yun and the children burst into laughter.
Yang Ming, Tong, and Tie first drove the carriage into the courtyard.
Uncle Ding, seeing Shan Dian slither down from the carriage, was so startled he almost fell to the ground, repeatedly exclaiming, "A snake! Such a big venomous snake!"
Wen Zhi Mo supported him from behind and said with a smile, "Uncle Ding, don't be afraid. This is the snake that Brother Lu's family keeps. Its name is Shan Dian, and it's very gentle."
Shan Dian: Heh heh, gentle? Brother Zhi Mo, are you sure you understand this snake well?
Uncle Ding stammered, "A… a pet snake?" He had indeed seen pet snakes before, but those were kept in cages. How could it be living with humans so openly like this?
This was a large venomous snake! If it were accidentally brushed by its fangs, one would surely die.
Shan Dian walked up to Uncle Ding and friendly flicked its snake tongue, scaring Uncle Ding so much that he almost wet himself.
Fortunately, he had gritted his teeth tightly enough, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself today.
This family of masters was truly extraordinary, keeping both a wolf and a snake, and both were formidable beasts.
Although Uncle Ding was very scared, he secretly felt that the masters were definitely not ordinary people, and he felt quite fortunate.
As for these two fierce creatures, he… would have to slowly adapt.
Uncle Ding closed his eyes and tried to get friendly with Shan Dian, "Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh… Dian-dian-dian, h-hello."
Shan Dian nodded and arrogantly walked away.
As everyone entered the mansion, they all exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Yun excitedly ran to Bai Sheng and asked, looking up, "Sister-in-law, is this big mansion really bought by our family? Is it our own home in the capital?"
Bai Sheng smiled and nodded, "Of course it is, it's absolutely true, genuine and unadulterated."
Lu Yun yelped and loudly commanded his friends, "Brothers, charge! Let's go see our big—mansion!"
The five mischievous monkeys shouted with glee and ran into the depths of the mansion, followed by the enthusiastic three dogs.
Bao Yu's paws felt a bit itchy, and it originally wanted to go along. However, seeing that all three juniors were following along so eagerly, it didn't want to lower its status. It wouldn't do such childish things.
After all, it was a mature, steady, and dignified wolf, on the same level as the cool and handsome Shan Dian—a beast.
Wen Zhi Mo also repeatedly praised that the mansion was a great purchase.
Lu Huo and the four girls looked around, their surprised expressions never fading from their faces.
Under Uncle Ding's guidance, Yang Ming, Lu Tong, Lu Tie, and the others parked the carriages in the designated area outside the main entrance and tied the horses in the stable.
After everyone was seated in the main hall of the front courtyard, Uncle Ding summoned all the servants in the mansion to pay their respects to the master and the young madam, and to get acquainted.
Uncle Ding's family and Jin Mu Shui Tu were greatly frightened when they saw the large white wolf and the large silver snake beside Bai Sheng.
Fortunately, with Uncle Ding's prior preparation, everyone clenched their toes tightly in their shoes, preventing them from turning and fleeing.
They increasingly felt that their masters were extraordinary, otherwise, why would they buy such a fierce-looking mansion?
With the wolf and the snake, two formidable beasts, guarding the house, even ghosts wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
Lu Ye, holding Bai Sheng's hand, smiled at everyone and said, "This is the lady of the house, my wife, Bai Sheng."
"Greetings, Young Madam!" Led by Uncle Ding, everyone greeted Bai Sheng in unison. Although they were all curious about their young madam, no one peered around rudely.
Bai Sheng responded with a smile and gave each person a small red envelope as a token of greeting.
Lu Ye then introduced Wen Zhi Mo and his two attendants. Just as he was about to introduce Lu Yun and the five children, he couldn't find them. These five mischievous monkeys had apparently run off to play somewhere.
Never mind, he wouldn't worry about them for now.
Lu Ye then introduced Wei Han, Yang Ming, Tong, Tie, as well as the four girls and the wet nurses.
Everyone bowed to each other and exchanged greetings.
Jin Mu Shui Tu, hearing the master introduce Lu Huo's name, felt a sense of completion for the Five Elements.
Looking at Lu Huo's physique, they also felt that the Five Elements were slightly unbalanced, with the fire element being too strong.
Lu Ye also did not forget to introduce Shan Dian and Bao Yu, as they were also family.
The servants in the mansion sheepishly nodded and smiled at the two fierce beasts, keeping a respectful distance.
The four little ones were still sleeping soundly in their strollers, so they were not disturbed for the moment.
After Lu Ye finished the introductions, it was Uncle Ding's turn to introduce the servants in the mansion.
First were Uncle Ding's family of four, who stood respectfully before Bai Sheng and Lu Ye.
Uncle Ding introduced his wife and his two children, Ding Lei and Ding Xiang, to Bai Sheng.
Bai Sheng felt quite comfortable upon meeting this family.
Aunt Ding was honest and spoke little, but she kept herself very neat. Ding Lei and Ding Xiang were very well-behaved children.
Uncle Ding's family also liked the young madam very much; she was generous, dignified, lively, and humorous, showing no airs at all.
After his own family stepped back, Uncle Ding then presented Jin Mu Shui Tu, and the four of them also greeted Bai Sheng in unison.
Bai Sheng had heard from Lu Ye that Jin Mu Shui Tu were mainly responsible for the maintenance and repair of the mansion, and they appeared to be simple and honest.
Bai Sheng was very reassured by the people Lu Ye had chosen.
After both sides had met, Uncle Ding immediately instructed Jin Mu Shui Tu to help fetch water for everyone to wash up, while his wife and children went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
During this time, Uncle Ding also made arrangements for everyone's accommodation.
Bai Sheng and Lu Ye, as the masters, naturally stayed in the main room of the main courtyard.
Wen Zhi Mo, as a guest, stayed in the west wing of the first courtyard.
Lu Yun and the five children stayed in the east wing of the first courtyard, opposite Wen Zhi Mo.
Yang Ming, Tong, Tie, and Wen Zhi Mo's two attendants stayed in the east courtyard, in the same courtyard as Jin Mu Shui Tu. The wet nurses and the four girls, as they needed to look after the four infants and the masters, stayed in the side rooms on either side of the main courtyard.
As for Shan Dian and Bao Yu, Uncle Ding did not dare to make arrangements. These two great fierce creatures could stay wherever they pleased, as long as it wasn't his small room.
