After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Sun Jingke breathed a sigh of relief as a coolness penetrated his heart.

"It's strange to say that this mint and lotus leaf tea is not a rare thing. How come it is made by Xianchun Tea House and tastes so good!" Sun Jingke smacked his mouth twice.

Xingyue chuckled softly: "Young lady, do you still want to drink? How about I ask the butler to bring another one?"

Sun Jingke waved his hand: "No need."

Although this stuff is good, it is cold in nature and she should not drink too much.

"By the way, where did the butler come from?" Sun Jingke asked, "I remember we didn't bring the butler out."

"Oh, it's arranged by this villa, and it's said to be available in every courtyard," Xingyue said. "The housekeeper said that if the young lady is thirsty, hungry, or has other things to do, just tell her That’s fine, this villa looks big, but a shortcut was left in the design from the beginning so that it would be convenient for her to buy food and other things.”

"I see..." Sun Jingke nodded, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at Madam Zhou's ingenuity.

At this time, Jingzhe came over: "Young Madam, my wife asked me to ask you if you have packed up. If you have packed up, go next door and discuss with her what to eat for lunch."

Only then did Sun Jingke realize that it was almost past dinner time.

She nodded repeatedly and followed Jingzhe to the next door.

After entering the door next door and walking around a screen wall, she saw Jiang Fuyue sitting in the yard, looking through some booklet. There were many more on the table.

"What is this?" Sun Jingke walked over and sat down, curiously picked up a book and flipped through it, "The menu?"

Jiang Fuyue nodded: "Look at what you want to eat, I'm already very hungry."

Sun Jingke quickly read through several brochures, and his eyes fell on a gentle-looking but unfamiliar woman beside him.

The woman noticed Sun Jingke's gaze, so she knelt down and said, "I have met you, Madam. I am the housekeeper of this courtyard. Just tell me what you want to eat."

As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper from the pouch at her waist.

Sun Jingke looked her over, ordered the food she wanted to eat, and the housekeeper wrote it down in the book, bowed again, turned around and left in a hurry.

"Is it the housekeeper?" Sun Jingke was a little surprised.

Nowadays, even the housekeepers in the backyard of deep houses are all men. Unexpectedly, there would be a female housekeeper here.

Jiang Fuyue nodded: "In this villa, except for the men who do the hard work, most of the other work is done by women."

"It's quite new." Sun Jingke said, "Where did it all come from?"

"They are all from the towns near the villa. Some are married women, but they are not treated well by their husbands' families, so they want to find a way out on their own. Some are girls who have not yet left the palace and do not want to focus on embroidery to get married. "It came out," Jiang Fuyue said, "Ms. Zhou carefully screened it and kept all the ones with good centrality."

When Mrs. Zhou had this idea, she asked someone to tell her about it, so she knew the origins of these people very well.

"That's it," Sun Jingke sighed, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhou would have such an ambition."

Jiang Fuyue smiled and said: "We are both women, so we naturally know how difficult it is for women, so I can only help."

"It sounds like it's a piece of cake, but for them, this is another way to survive." Sun Jingke lamented.

Two quarters of an hour later, the housekeeper came back, pushing a cart half as tall as a man.

"Girl, young madam, this is the meal you two ordered."

As the butler spoke, he pulled the cart closer, took out the meals from the cart one by one, and placed them on the table.

"What is this?" Sun Jingke looked into the car curiously while the butler was setting up the meal.

I saw that there was only a layer of wooden boards placed in the top of the small car, and it was filled with meals. It didn't look unusual.

Until the butler finished taking all the food from the upper floor, he bent down again and opened the wooden board.

Sun Jingke looked over again and saw several rolling lantern-like things placed underneath. The size was larger than the usual rolling lanterns, and the place that was originally supposed to be used to place candles was enlarged to accommodate a bowl of soup.

I saw the housekeeper fiddle with a few bamboo sticks skillfully, then broke a hole in the thing, and the bowl of soup was successfully taken out.

"Will this thing break after just one use?" Sun Jingke felt a little pity.

The butler smiled and said nothing, and after a while of tinkering with his hands, he restored the rolling lantern.

Sun Jingke was amazed again and again.

"It's just a small mechanism added," the housekeeper said with a smile, "Young Madam is just laughing."

Watching the housekeeper push the car away, Sun Jingke took a long time to look away: "This hot spring villa is really different from other places!"

"How do you feel?" Jiang Fuyue said, without caring about etiquette, she directly picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

"It feels good!" Sun Jingke said, "This place is different from all the hot spring resorts I have been to!"

Not only was the scenery different, but more importantly, this villa gave her an almost peaceful feeling, which was really comfortable.

"That's good." Jiang Fuyue finally felt relieved.

She was a little nervous at first. After all, she hadn't relaxed and taken a bath in a hot spring for a long time, and she didn't know what the surrounding hot spring resorts were like.

But since Sun Jingke, who has been to the surrounding hot springs, gave it such a high rating, there really is nothing to worry about.

As soon as Jiang Fuyue relaxed, she felt even more hungry.

Seeing that she was eating well, Sun Jingke also had an appetite.

As soon as he moved his chopsticks, Sun Jingke sighed again: "That's great. You don't know how much I miss the food in the capital every time I soak in the hot springs outside."

Although the food made by my servants tastes good, it also tastes boring and cannot be cooked in any way. On the contrary, due to the poor ingredients, the taste is worse than at home.

The two of them ate the food on the table together.

It was not advisable to soak in the hot springs right after eating, so the two of them simply went out and walked around the villa. After they were almost done eating, they returned to their own courtyards, took off their clothes and entered the water.

-

At night, the villa, which had been quiet all day, suddenly became lively.

Jiang Fuyue and Sun Jingke were chatting together. When they heard something moving outside, they stopped talking and looked at each other.

"Why is there anyone here this late at night?" Sun Jingke was a little confused.

"Maybe someone found out about our itinerary today." Jiang Fuyue said.

"Then these people are all here for you." After all, at this time of year, the heads of each family should be the busiest. As wives, they naturally have to accompany their husbands at this time, but they won't There is the leisure and elegance of a hot spring bath.

Jiang Fuyue laughed: "It's okay. It's getting late now. They have to settle down separately. I'll go out tomorrow."

Sun Jingke nodded: "As long as you have an idea in mind."

Since those people spent so much effort chasing Jiang Fuyue, if Jiang Fuyue hides and disappears, people will talk about her behind her back.

Jiang Fuyue nodded, feeling lost for a while.

After all, not long ago, no one cared about her every move, let alone anyone who would go to such great lengths to curry favor with her.

This change was so big that she was really not used to it.
