Chapter 93 Hot Spring Resort is now open for business
Jiang Yao originally built the hot spring villa for the purpose of making money.
Otherwise, it would be a shame if you invest so much and don’t get your money back.
After it was built, it was open for four or five years, but later Jiang Yao's health deteriorated.
The villa was closed, and Jiang Yao rested and recuperated there.
The villa was not reopened until her death.
Now that the business is about to reopen, Jiang Jiu asks Qin Yuan and Chu Yu to renovate the villa and use it to make money again.
Chu Yu nodded: "Okay."
Chu Yu worked as an otaku in Hua Man Lou purely for the sake of creating a gimmick, and she was not willing to serve those stinky men at all.
In the evening, Jiang Jiu asked people to entertain everyone in the reception hall.
Tonight we are all our own people, on one side are Jiang Jiu's capable generals, on the other side are Lu Yunyang's capable generals.
There are wine, food and hot springs, so everyone can have fun.
For a time, Hot Spring Villa regained its former joy.
A large hot spring is led downwards, and four or five small hot springs are artificially excavated.
Guests are divided into male and female, and also into private rooms. Some single men and women can bathe with friends, and some men and women can bathe together. Both sides are blocked by trees and rockery, so it is relatively private.
After dinner, Jiang Jiu let everyone move freely.
She returned to Jiang Yao's room, changed her clothes, and went to the hot spring again.
Seeing Lu Yunyang lying there leisurely, I was about to leave when I suddenly remembered that this warmth should be Jiang Yao's personal one. She was in poor health and the temperature of the hot spring was a bit high.
Jiang Jiu walked to Lu Yunyang's side and felt the water temperature.
"It's so hot, be careful it might be bad for your scrotum."
With a "bang", Lu Yunyang stood up, turned into another small pool with a lower temperature, and looked at Jiang Jiu with a smile.
"Are you really planning to go to the capital?"
Jiang Jiu nodded: "Yes, my mother's death is unclear, I must find out the truth."
Jiang Jiu jumped into the water and she sighed softly at the warmth and comfort. Lu Yunyang stared at her straight in the eyes. The moral bottom line in his mind wanted him to take his eyes away from Jiang Jiu, but his eyes seemed to be nailed with nails and he couldn't move them away.
"The capital is extremely dangerous. If you want to go, I will accompany you..."
Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
The answer was crisp and clear, and he actually agreed.
Lu Yunyang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what it was.
"I have a piece of news for you, you may not know..."
Jiang Jiu: "Speak."
Lu Yunyang: "Your cousin Jiang Mingyue actually pretended to be you and went to the capital. She even entered the Chang family and claimed to be Chang Mingyuan's daughter."
Jiang Jiu was slightly startled: "She went to the capital? Wasn't she burned beyond recognition and went back to her hometown to recuperate?"
Jiang Jiu was not very well-informed about the news in the capital.
Lu Yunyang raised his eyebrows proudly at Jiang Jiu: "My people heard that Chang Mingyuan found the concubine's daughter who had been missing for fifteen years. They know your identity and that you are with me, so they think there is something fishy and went to the Chang family to investigate."
"As soon as the portrait was drawn, I recognized it. It was Jiang Mingyue. She actually took your identity and entered the Chang family. I don't know what she wants to do."
Jiang Jiu was stunned and found it even more unbelievable.
"She pretended to be me? She is married, and she is just trying to marry into a higher position by pretending to be the daughter of the Prime Minister. Will Madam Chang agree?"
Lu Yunyang sighed: "So far, she has been living well in the Chang family. I just don't know what identity you will use to go to Beijing?"
Jiang Jiu thought about it carefully and smiled: "She went to Beijing under my identity, so I went to Beijing under her identity. In comparison, her identity is cleaner. Her husband was burned to death and she became a widow."
Lu Yunyang was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking about it, he came up with an idea.
"Then I will go and annoy her, travel a thousand miles to find my wife, and bring her back to Prince Qi's Palace. From now on, Chang Mingyuan will be my father-in-law."
True or false, Jiang Mingyue's move directly pushed Chang Mingyuan to Lu Yunyang's camp.
After resting in the hot spring villa for five days, Jiang Jiu went out early in the morning to see off Manager Cheng and the others out of the city.
Manager Cheng would not really choose his own children. He only picked a few of his offspring, and the rest were guards and servants purchased by his family.
The same goes for other shopkeepers. There always has to be someone to do the work. These young masters and ladies are delicate and frail. How can they endure long distances and do physical work?
Wu Yuan, on his part, set out with his second son and twenty guards with strong martial arts skills, riding on tall horses.
They didn't bring any cargo, just food and daily necessities for the journey. Even so, they formed a long team.
After bidding farewell to Manager Cheng and the others, Jiang Jiu asked someone to spread the news of the opening of the hot spring villa.
Soon, a long line of people formed to reserve seats in the shop.
The hot spring resort has set up a store in Sioux City to register a list of nobles who want to go to the hot springs.
These wealthy people naturally would not queue up in person; it was their housekeepers and maids who queued up.
After getting the news, maids, old women, and housekeepers came with their respective family's signs to pay money, line up, and wait for the date to be arranged.
Because the hot spring villa has limited rooms, it can only accommodate about ten guests at a time. These guests often bring their maids, old women, and servants with them, so almost every family can book two or three rooms.
Therefore, even if you have registered and paid the money, you still have to wait for a time to be arranged.
After more than ten years, the hot spring resort reopened. People who had enjoyed the hot springs wanted to enjoy them again, so they all came.
Princess Qi Yang's injuries gradually healed, and she looked listless.
The maidservant beside her got the news and hurried to inform her.
"Princess, good news. I heard there is a hot spring resort in Suzhou City. It's open for business. We can go there and have a hot spring bath."
Princess Qi Yang suddenly stood up: "Hot spring?"
"There is a hot spring in the palace in the capital, but I can only go there with my mother. I never thought there would be a hot spring in such a place."
The maid was also very happy: "Princess, who do you think that hot spring villa belongs to?"
Princess Qi Yang asked, "Whose is it? Such a nice place, shouldn't it belong to Zhao Zhuoxi?"
The maid shook her head: "It's the owner of a boat. I heard that she lived there for a few years before her death. Who knows, the treasure is also hidden there. Jiang Jiu has already moved in with people. Princess, let's make arrangements quickly."
Princess Qiyang waved her hand and said, "Go and invite the prince to come to me. I want to go to the hot spring villa with him."
The maid went out for a walk and came back to report: "Princess, the prince and Madam Jiang went to the villa together. I heard from the servants that it is a good place and it is conducive to the prince's health. He will not be back this winter."
Princess Qi Yang was so angry that she laughed.
"While this princess is ill, let's go and enjoy ourselves. Okay, pack up and leave early tomorrow morning."
On the afternoon of the next day, Princess Qi Yang's carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Then a servant came to report to Jiang Jiu: "Young Master, Princess Qiyang has arrived."
Jiang Jiu put down his pen, blew away the ink on the paper, and raised the corners of his lips.
"I knew she couldn't hold back. Everyone who comes is a guest. Please invite her in. As we said long ago, arrange for her to stay."
At the same time, Lu Yunyang on the other side also received news that the leader of Qiyang County was going up the mountain.
"I knew she would come. It doesn't matter. Let's do as Madam arranges. We'll just take our time and not worry about her."
