CapĂtulo 2221: Chapter 2221: Manzhi Garden (Part 3)
âI agree, Xinxin. When Second Uncle comes back later, ask for more, and itâs best to just leave him with a tenth of the hard work fee.â Unexpectedly, Madam Shu Lishi chimed in, âIf he doesnât agree, donât give him the recipe.â
Yang Ruxinâs 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.
âThis is the courtyard Aunt lived in before she got married, and itâs still maintained the way it was before her marriage.â Shu Huai led them to a very serene courtyard.
âManzhi Garden.â Yang Ruxin looked at the plaque above, and despite the long time, it still looked as fresh as new, indicating it was regularly maintained and cleaned.
âYou staying here will certainly make your Little Aunt happy.â Shu Huai ushered them inside. âThe furniture is still the original, the arrangements havenât 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 time, 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 staffâŠâ
âItâs not necessary.â Yang Ruxin shook her head after scanning around. âItâs perfect. There are enough people; thereâs no need for more. Thanks, Big Cousin.â
Shu Huai frowned: âBut there are only two rough-serving maids here.â
Gu Qingheng nodded: âWe are used to the mountains; we donât need much serving. This is perfect. Besides, we have hands and feet ourselves, and isnât Chai Qin and Gu Qiao here as well?â
Shu Huai nodded with a smile: âAlright 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.â
After Shu Huai left, Yang Ruxin then carefully toured the courtyard where Shu Manzhi lived for over ten years.
âDidnât expect mother-in-law liked pink,â Yang Ruxin sighed, then picked up a hairpin embedded with pink pearls from the dressing table and swayed it, âItâs very pretty.â
Gu Qingheng walked over, took the hairpin, and placed it in Yang Ruxinâs hair: âVery pretty.â
Yang Ruxin was slightly stunned, then giggled, reaching out to pinch Gu Qinghengâs cheek, though her hand was instantly caught by him.
The atmosphere in the room quickly turned romantic, but before reaching a boiling point, Gu Qiaoâs abrupt voice came from outside: âThe Shu Family members are all back. Dinner is served at the front.â
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 Zheâs wife, Tian Jiarong, who couldnât sit because of her large belly, and returned after greeting everyone.
However, that cousin-in-law was straightforward, constantly apologizing, feeling bad that she wasnât present for Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxinâs first visit.
But no one blamed her.
âIâm really happy that Qingheng and Xinxin could come over.â The elder Shu Xing smiled warmly, âManzhi will be blessed from heaven. Come, let us drink a toast.â He lifted his teacup.
âAlright, Old Shu, donât act all mighty, claiming a toast with a teacup?â Dao Xuzi looked disdainful, âArenât you ashamed?â
