Chapter 259 Return to Taoyuan Villa
Chapter 259 Return to Taoyuan Villa
"Ruyi, where did you get so much money? Is it legitimate? Is it safe?"
“Don’t worry, grandma and grandpa, this is all earned through my hard work. I earned 40 taels of silver from the membership card sales of the newly opened restaurant.
There is also the silver from selling things, which is almost 100 million taels, and the silver I got from selling my mother's previous house deeds and land deeds.
I really have a lot of money, but I can't spend it all. So, please don't give me any more money.
Keeping it for my uncle to use, rebuild the family business, and support the Li family is the key, and this is also what my mother meant."
Only then did grandma feel relieved. Grandpa had been thinking too much and things were definitely not as easy as Ruyi said.
No matter what, my granddaughter is capable, has plenty of money, is smart, and can stand on her own. What could be more gratifying than this?
Finally, the silver was collected.
If my family had this money, my son would be able to relax more and recover faster. The disaster a few years ago was really devastating.
Then we talked about some things about the Big Buddha Temple project. Grandpa listened with great interest and was fascinated.
"Grandpa, our villa outside the city is very close to the Big Buddha Temple. If you are interested, you can go there anytime to take a look at the progress of the project."
"That's a good feeling!"
Grandpa was eager to try it and couldn't wait to go and see it.
For such a huge project, who wouldn’t want to witness it, the whole process from scratch?
"Your grandpa has been staying at home all these years, and he is bored. Now he finally has a new place to go."
Grandma explained with a smile.
"Yes, grandma and grandpa, you can just live with us from now on. We have mountains, rivers, lakes, hot springs, fruit trees, and flowers.
From now on, you two can plant flowers, walk your dog or Monkey King, and be happy every day, how nice is that?"
Grandpa said loudly with anger on his face but joy in his eyes, "Nonsense, how can you live in your granddaughter's house for a long time?"
"Isn't it okay if I live here? I don't care what others say, as long as I am happy.
Besides, there is no one else in our house, so there is no question of whether it is convenient or not.
It's spring now, and I plan to go into the mountains with my sister Yiren to find some ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and the like to make wine for you two.
I will give you a good rest and take care of your body."
"Silly child, your filial piety is appreciated. Don't go into the mountains. It's too dangerous. We don't need to go there.
If you want ginseng, grandma has two of them. I never wanted to use them, so I kept them well. You can just take them and use them.
Remember, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Nothing is more important than your safety. You must be healthy and live well. "
Even your mother's share survived as well.
“Grandma, I don’t need it myself, I just want to go to Taobao.
As for the safety issue, don't worry, I'm very capable and most people are no match for me.
And there is Sister Yiren, she is a martial arts master, a very powerful one.
I dare to do this because I have the ability to protect myself, so you don’t have to worry. "
"How can I not worry? There are tigers, bears and blind men in there. If we run into any of them, we'll be in big trouble."
After another round of explanation, the two old people were barely convinced.
Shen Ruyi discovered that everything has two sides. If you enjoy the warmth brought by family affection, you have to endure their caring nagging and supervision.
Indeed, I am not as free as before!
Suddenly I remembered a metaphor: the cat in the alley is free but has no home, while the dog in the fence has a home but has to bow his head all his life.
There is no perfect choice at all, so the current one is the best.
The next morning, we began to organize our departure from the city.
Some more people were sent to help the old gentleman, and everyone agreed to meet outside the city gate.
After everyone arrived, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages headed towards Taoyuan Villa.
Once you arrive at the villa, choose a place to stay first.
The yard prepared for my grandparents and the old man's residence both have kangs.
Everyone else has a bed, so they can live in it first. If anyone wants to sleep on a kang later, they can make a bed.
Shen Ruyi had sent people to prepare it, fearing that people would not like it.
Just to say, there are many yards, you can live wherever you want.
As a result, others had no objections, but Changle did.
He wanted to build a house for himself next to his two cousins so he could live there occasionally.
This request is simple. Just execute it. This kid will have to live in the outer courtyard sooner or later. Clean him up first and let him live there occasionally to help him adapt.
The two lovely girls, Xihe and Nanxi, hit it off right away and chose to live in the same courtyard to keep each other company.
After everyone settled down, Nanchen, Nanchuan and Changle helped the old gentleman to organize his books.
Before, the old gentleman had sorted it out by himself, and at best Xihe would help him.
There were a lot of people today, so two strong laborers came directly, along with a young apprentice who joined in the fun.
There is no need to do anything yourself, just sit aside, drink tea and give orders.
By the way, let everyone take out the books and dry them in the sun for a while before putting them back up.
This feels good and has been a long time.
Seeing the books, Shen Ruyi remembered that she still had quite a few books in her own space. She would find a chance to put them out in the evening for everyone to use.
Books in this era are scarce, private, and monopolistic. They are considered property and are considered valuable items.
Today's lunch was made based on everyone's tastes.
In addition to the water used, Shen Ruyi added some spiritual spring water, which made the taste even better.
Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much and both praised the delicious food, which of course was accompanimented by wine.
By the time they finished drinking, grandpa and the old man had become close friends.
It means that each of us has an extra person to talk and chat with.
After the break, everyone chose their favorite room according to their preferences and went to take a hot spring bath.
As for Shen Ruyi, she was naturally listening to the work reports from the managers below.
The work of fertilizing the land has been completed, and the work of digging the pit has long been completed.
After the wine is dried in the wine workshop for a few days, it can be used directly.
I found more than 40 boxes of bees and asked when I would need them. Shen Ruyi thought for a moment.
“Please bring 20 boxes over first, we need to give them to someone, they want them now.
Keep the rest for now, and at the end of this month, take them out and place them in our orchards.
By the way, you can look for it somewhere else, this amount is definitely not enough."
Then we arranged for people to make custom-made long wooden boxes and start growing seedlings.
Let's all learn to ride horses before the fields are planted.
Everyone learns it together, regardless of gender, and it can be considered a skill.
Ask the servants to tidy up and clean the stable. If it is small, expand it.
Release a few horses yourself.
Shen Ruyi entered the space and came to the horse. The horse was raised in the space. It was fat and strong, shiny and smooth. It was no longer the same as before.
Even if the horse’s biological mother was here, she wouldn’t be able to recognize it, let alone the human eye.
It can be regarded as skipping the transformation and iteration process of 1.0 and directly reaching the upgraded version 2.0.
