Chapter 867 - 867 Hot Springs Manor (1)



When Mingyu heard her say this, she did not try to persuade her to stay because she knew how talkative a matchmaker could be. If anything bad were to spread, it would be quite detrimental to her eldest uncle’s marriage.

She got up and sent her out. “Why don’t I come to your house for a gathering soon?”

“No problem. Take care.” Zhou Ying nodded. However, she felt Mingyu would not have the chance before the new year. The Zhou family was a newly promoted noble family, and it happened to be the end of the year. There would definitely be many people who would come to curry favor with them, so they would have very few opportunities to go out.

Zhou Ying’s guess was right. She had been busy for half a month and sent all the gifts to the various prefectures. However, Mingyu and her family did not come to visit, so she asked Kuihua to bring them the 20 pounds of wine she had promised.

At night, after dinner, Gu Chengrui asked, “Babe, have you delivered all the gifts?”

“So far, what should be given has been given. I’m not sure if anyone will come to give gifts after that. What’s the matter?” Zhou Ying asked.

“It’s fine. I’m almost done with my work at the hospital. If you finish your work, we can go to the hot spring manor and stay for a few days. We can also officially register it under our name.”

“Then it’s settled. We’ll come back home after playing there for a few days. It’s just in time for the year-end accounting.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it later. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”

“Alright, by the way, don’t bring Lin Yitian when we leave this time. Let him accompany Shizhu.”

“Got it. I’ll listen to you.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he arranged for the carriages and manpower.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying prepared the clothes and toiletries for the family of three. She also asked Kuihua to prepare two blankets.

She also requested that Mrs. Lin pack up Guoguo’s things.

The next morning, the family of three brought Niu Lirong, Mrs. Lin, Lin Yifan, and ten other guards to the hot spring manor.

When it was almost noon, the group finally arrived at the manor.

After entering, Gu Chengrui called the head of the manor over and asked, “Head Hu, right? Do the people in the manor already know about the change of ownership?”

“Master, we received the notice from the government half a month ago.”

“Mhm, go and inform them they can leave immediately after signing up for the next two days if they want to leave.

“If they stay, they have to be absolutely loyal to the Gu family. Otherwise, once I find out, they won’t be forgiven.”

“Don’t worry, all the people with status in the manor have been sold.

“Those who are left behind, other than the original fringe personnel, are sent by the government to guard the manor like me.”

“I know, but it’s still better to ask.”

“Understood.” Head Hu nodded.

“Good, our family of three will be staying here for five to six days. Arrange for food and accommodation.”

“Yes, I’ll bring you guys to settle down first.” Head Hu answered and led them into the central courtyard—a large three-entry residence—and said, “This house may look like it only has three entrances, but it’s not small.”

“The second and third entrances have three small courtyards side by side. Each courtyard contains three main rooms and three independent rooms.

“The west courtyard in the backyard also has a stable and a fodder room.

“There are also eight rooms and a reception room in the middle.”

“How many people are there in the manor?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“Except for a small family of six, there are ten manservants.

“When they have nothing to do, they would do some farm work, such as planting vegetables, caring for the fruit trees on the mountain, and raising the fish in the pond.

“By the way, the water in the pond is running water, so the fish in it is delicious.

“In addition, there are also five old maids who usually clean the house. If the fields are busy, they will also go to the fields to help..”
