It was already the eighth day Xu Feng had been in this world, and the seventh day since he was brought to the Xuan estate in Nanshan village. It would be a lie if Xu Feng said he wasn't enjoying himself.
The estate was sparsely populated, with few servants and lots of greenery. Yet the property was very well maintained and spotless. It was cleaner than Xu Feng's tiny dorm room he shared with three others in college— he didn't miss it.
He did miss his parents.
After his first and only conversation with the madam of the Xuan family, he hadn't seen her or Old Lin again in the last three days. They had left him with the two servant girls that stood guard outside his door and rushed back to the main house in the capital, Jinghua.
From the younger servant girl, Si, Xu Feng had learned the capital was a one to two-day carriage ride away, and that the Xuan family was a lot wealthier and more influential than he thought. She loved sharing all the gossip she overheard from the adults.
The second servant girl, San, was more excited to talk about how handsome the young master was and how amazing their Xuan family was.
With seductive phoenix eyes, a height of over 6'0" in this era, his excellent academic performance at the young age of 18, he was even proficient in business as well as scholarly merit.
"If only he wasn't a pervert, he would be the perfect man."
"Pervert?" Xu Feng questioned; this was the heart of the matter!
Why else would the madam of such a powerful family be in a rush to give her only son an heir? It would make sense if she had to battle backyard politics, but she was the only legal wife, and the concubines couldn't outshine her.

"Master Xu, why do you always want to sit by the lake alone? Is it not boring without company?" The smarter San tried to change the subject.
He liked to come out and test his wood abilities when he was alone, but that wasn't something he needed to share with anyone.
Xu Feng smiled at the clever little girl, who was no older than 11, before looking back at the cute Si, who was ready to burst with gossip, "Tell me."
"Well!" the 6- or 7-year-old Si said in excitement as San rolled her eyes. "Young master has a strong preference for gers."
At this, both girls looked at Xu Feng and his tall height.
"The madam and master have sent several maidservants and young gers to his bed to serve as bed companions in the past, and he has rudely rejected them every time. Without even touching them," the look in Si and San's eyes were so sad and lost.
"It was only after he turned 16 and became a scholar, one of the youngest ever, that he started visiting brothels." She paused in schadenfreude.
They continued walking, taking in parts of the property yet to be seen by Xu Feng.
"At first, the mansion was excited, waiting for the master to come back from his school to gift him with bed companions and possibly make a good marriage pairing or take some concubines."
"But everyone was shocked when the same thing happened. After some snooping, it was found that the young master only likes ugly gers, tall ones that look like men and are more muscular. Not that Master Xu is ugly, but you are taller than most ger" She blushed, but she was right.
From the original owner's memories, most gers were smaller in stature, similar to the women in this era, between 5 '0" and 5 '3". Xu Zeng however, was as tall as a healthy Northern man at around 5 '10", and might have been even taller if not for his stepmother's abuse.
The young master being above 6 '0" was the real shocker here. This was a true giant among the men of this era.
"So, he likes tall gers that are more masculine," Xu Feng thought aloud. In this era, the young master's preferences alone were scandalous.
But, as a bisexual man from the 21st century, Xu Feng was attracted to both masculine men and more androgynous men, it all depended on personality for him. He wasn't offended by these ancients' preferences in the least. Modern preferences were strange too.
"Not only does he like ugly gers. He's insatiable in bed, visiting several brothels a week and even staying overnight to quench his cravings." Si seemed to be repeating what she heard from the adults, it was uncertain if she actually understood what she was saying.
"Hahahah," Xu Feng laughed.
He was a horny teenager with parents who were ashamed of his sexual preferences. They were probably scared they would end up with a bastard first grandson, or an "ugly" one, that's why Xu Feng was a good candidate for baby-making with their son.
He was tall enough to hopefully interest the young master for a few romps, but androgynous enough to make "pretty" babies.
The two girls looked confused as Xu Feng laughed his ass off. They perched under a large pear tree several hundred feet away from the gatehouse when a call came.
"The master is here, welcome the young master."
At that call, the few servants quickly cleaned themselves up, and Si and San tried to make themselves more presentable.
Two beautiful black horses with gleaming fur and strong legs came charging in, heading straight for the stables beside Xu Feng and his group.
At first, a man with long brown hair and cold grey eyes hopped off his horse. He was at least 6 '2" in height with a muscular body that looked finely trained.
He walked over to the other man to help him off his horse. The other man was slightly taller, with thick black hair, a noble air, and a deceptively friendly face.
But Xu Feng's eyes kept going back to the iceberg. The iceberg was hot, very much his type.
