Capítulo 2221: Chapter 2221: Manzhi Garden (Part 3)
“I agree, Xinxin. When Second Uncle cos back later, ask for more, and it’s best to just leave him with a tenth of the hard work fee.” Unexpectedly, Madam Shu Lishi chid in, “If he doesn’t agree, don’t give him the recipe.”
Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched. This is a classic case of an aunt setting a trap for her uncle.
As they were chatting here, the yard over there had already been tidied up.
Shu Huai personally took Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin over.
“This is the courtyard Aunt lived in before she got married, and it’s still maintained the way it was before her marriage.” Shu Huai led them to a very serene courtyard.
“Manzhi Garden.” Yang Ruxin looked at the plaque above, and despite the long ti, it still looked as fresh as new, indicating it was regularly maintained and cleaned.
“You staying here will certainly make your Little Aunt happy.” Shu Huai ushered them inside. “The furniture is still the original, the arrangents haven’t changed; they are all things Little Aunt liked when she was alive. The jewelry on the dressing table was all worn by Little Aunt as a maiden… This ti, only the beddings and curtains were changed, but the color is still what Little Aunt liked in life. If you find anything missing, just tell Ning Xi, let her arrange it, enough staff…”
“It’s not necessary.” Yang Ruxin shook her head after scanning around. “It’s perfect. There are enough people; there’s no need for more. Thanks, Big Cousin.”
Shu Huai frowned: “But there are only two rough-serving maids here.”
Gu Qingheng nodded: “We are used to the mountains; we don’t need much serving. This is perfect. Besides, we have hands and feet ourselves, and isn’t Chai Qin and Gu Qiao here as well?”
Shu Huai nodded with a smile: “Alright then, Divine Doctor Dao Xuzi and Master Ming Guang are in the courtyard opposite, very close. You can freshen up first, I estimate grandfather and the others should be back soon, we can talk while eating later.”
After Shu Huai left, Yang Ruxin then carefully toured the courtyard where Shu Manzhi lived for over ten years.
“Didn’t expect mother-in-law liked pink,” Yang Ruxin sighed, then picked up a hairpin embedded with pink pearls from the dressing table and swayed it, “It’s very pretty.”
Gu Qingheng walked over, took the hairpin, and placed it in Yang Ruxin’s hair: “Very pretty.”
Yang Ruxin was slightly stunned, then giggled, reaching out to pinch Gu Qingheng’s cheek, though her hand was instantly caught by him.
The atmosphere in the room quickly turned romantic, but before reaching a boiling point, Gu Qiao’s abrupt voice ca from outside: “The Shu Family mbers are all back. Dinner is served at the front.”
The two of them snapped back, exchanged smiles, and then held hands as they walked out.
The dinner was prepared lavishly. Almost everyone was present except Shu Zhe’s wife, Tian Jiarong, who couldn’t sit because of her large belly, and returned after greeting everyone.
However, that cousin-in-law was straightforward, constantly apologizing, feeling bad that she wasn’t present for Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin’s first visit.
But no one blad her.
“I’m really happy that Qingheng and Xinxin could co over.” The elder Shu Xing smiled warmly, “Manzhi will be blessed from heaven. Co, let us drink a toast.” He lifted his teacup.
“Alright, Old Shu, don’t act all mighty, claiming a toast with a teacup?” Dao Xuzi looked disdainful, “Aren’t you ashad?”
