Mu Ruxue obediently called Zhang "godmother", which made Zhang smile.
"Okay, okay, now I have two daughters. Your mother is the most blessed in the entire Duke of England's mansion."
Yun Ruoxi: "Yes, yes, what mother said is right."
Zhang looked around to see if there was anyone around, then she quietly reminded him, "This is something we should only talk about between the three of us, mother and daughter. Don't spread it outside, or else people will laugh at you."
Mu Ruxue: "Don't worry, godmother, we definitely won't tell anyone."
As soon as the voice fell, the voice of Aunt Zeng came from behind, "You three mothers, please speak louder. I can hear you from far away. You are not allowed to tell others. Now I am afraid that the whole Duke of Ying's Mansion has heard it."
Zhang smiled embarrassedly, "So it's my sister-in-law who's here. I'm in a vulnerable position today, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Zeng smiled and said, "You, you, but you are right about one thing. Our entire Yingguo Mansion is indeed thanks to your sister-in-law giving birth to a good daughter. The most blessed person is definitely your sister-in-law."
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Ever since the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion came to Taohua Village, the atmosphere among everyone has been getting better and better.
Sure enough, as long as they are not working for the emperor, everyone is particularly motivated to do their own things.
Even though we live in the countryside now, the living conditions and spirit are comparable.
Zhang and Zeng talked and laughed for a while, then they remembered that Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue had been out for several days, and they must have something to do when they came to the Duke of Ying's Mansion at this time.
"You two little girls, why are you here at the Duke of England's mansion at this hour? Do you have something to tell your grandfather?"
Yun Ruoxi: "Nothing can be hidden from mother's eyes. We went out this time and found a suitable island to build on. We have already set up the formation on the island, so now we come to grandfather to explain the situation."
When Zhang heard that it was a serious matter, she didn't dare to pull the two little girls to chat. "Since there is something serious to discuss, then you two should go quickly. Since you are here today, then have dinner here. I will have the maid pass on the message that everyone will have dinner at the Duke of England's mansion in the evening."
Yun Ruoxi: "Okay, just listen to mom. We can do whatever you want."
In the Duke of England's mansion, Grandfather built a villa specifically for Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue, which was a place for Yun Ruoxi, who had married out, to live.
However, now Mu Ruxue has been mistakenly recognized as his goddaughter, and she is also considered a girl who married out, so the two of them live together in the villa.
Zhang and Zeng left together, while Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue went to their grandfather's study in the front yard together.
At the door of the study, I saw a gatekeeper. "Fugui, I've already told Grandfather we're here and have something to discuss."
Fugui bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Miss Eldest, Miss Second, I will go in and report."
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue nodded and waited outside the study.
Fugui ran out shortly after entering, "Miss, Miss, the master wants you to come in."
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue walked straight into the study, followed by the maids Wenshu and Wenhua, who stood outside the door with Fugui.
During this brief encounter, the clerk secretly stuffed a small purse into Fugui's hand, which contained Yun Ruoxi's reward.
Fugui also accepted it with a clear conscience. In Britain, such rewards were not uncommon among Kung Fu and the Xiao family, so the servants spoke calmly about it.
After all, all the servants and guards in the two mansions have all taken the loyalty pill, so there is no doubt about their loyalty. As for money, as long as it is within a reasonable range, they will not deliberately control it.
After Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue entered the study, they bowed together and greeted, "Granddaughter greets grandfather!"
Grandfather smiled and said, "Well, you two came to see me as soon as you got back. It seems that this trip has yielded quite a lot."
Yun Ruoxi smiled and continued, "That's right, we two went out and found a Feng Shui treasured place that definitely meets the requirements."
"Oh? Really?"
"Of course it's true. How could my granddaughter lie to you?"
As she spoke, Yun Ruoxi took out the video she had prepared earlier and the blueprint of the island from the space.
Grandfather looked at the map of the island carefully. The map was drawn by Yun Ruoxi herself. It not only showed the entire terrain of the island, but also the pattern of the city planned by Yun Ruoxi.
However, the interior design drawings of the city buildings are in another drawing book.
This floor plan only has a macro view. In addition to the floor plan, Yun Ruoxi also turned on the video to let her grandfather see the environment on the island.
After watching it, grandfather's reaction was the same as Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue's expression when they saw the island together.
"This island is really good. It's even bigger than we expected. This is even better. Now that we have the formation you have set up, we don't have to worry about others accidentally entering the island. This way, our safety is guaranteed."
Yun Ruoxi: "Yes, the island has been built now. I wonder how the wall of Taohua Village is going?"
"Everyone's been leaving early and coming back late late lately. I heard yesterday that the work is almost finished. I think it's still possible to evacuate half of the people at this critical juncture."
Yun Ruoxi: "Now that the island is covered with the formations I have set up, it's safe, don't worry. If we want to build anything, we can build two city lord mansions first, and we can build the rest of the place slowly."
The original purpose of building houses on the island was to provide the Xiao family and the people from the British Industrial Institute with a place to hide when disaster strikes, so the safety of both families is of utmost importance.
As for other civilians and refugees, if conditions permit, they will naturally be taken to the island, but that is a story for later.
"Since the walls of Taohua Village are almost complete, have the guards take the construction materials and go to the island to build the City Lord's Mansion. This won't be completed overnight, and it will take quite some time."
Mu Ruxue: "Fortunately, this drought alone will last for three years. During these three years, there will be no snow or rain, which will save us a lot of trouble. I think three years is more than enough time to build a city."
Grandfather smiled and said, "That's right. In the next three years, we must not only complete the construction of the island, but also find a way to stockpile more other supplies. Three years later, when war comes, it will be difficult to purchase supplies, the most important of which are salt and iron ore."
Yun Ruoxi: "Salt is easy. As long as there is a sea, we can extract sea salt from the seawater and make pure water."
