Lu Jiaxin went back to visit the graves this time, not alone, but with Gu Xiuxiu. The original plan was that she would move the graves during the Qingming Festival, so she would let Mei Gu and Hong Gu take her there. Because the Feng Shui master chose the sixth month of the lunar calendar, he arranged for her to go back to the city with him.

Because it was arranged in advance, He Bin took Zhang Si Ning to wait outside the airport. In order to travel conveniently, Lu Jiaxin considered it and bought a Crown sedan. This car was bought by He Bin.

The mansion has been renovated. This time when I went back, I didn’t stay in a hotel. I drove directly into the five-courtyard mansion in Shichahai.

After the house was repaired, someone was hired to guard it, but the gate was always closed because the owner was not at home. Today, Lu Jiaxin and Gu Xiuxiu were coming back, so the gate was opened early in the morning.

The car could have driven in directly, but Lu Jiaxin asked the driver to stop at the door and then helped Gu Xiuxiu out of the car.

When Hong Gu, Mei Gu and others got off the car and saw the gate, they were all stunned.

The gate of the house is tall and majestic, with four large characters "Lu's Courtyard" hung in the center. The font is vigorous and powerful, shining golden under the sun, and it looks very impressive.

Lu Jiaxin and Mei Gu said, "The weather is good today, let's help our aunt walk in and take a look at the scenery of the house."

There was no way Mei Gu would say another word.

After entering the gate, everyone saw a wide courtyard with pine and cypress trees planted along the walls. The house was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and the columns, doors and windows were also carved with exquisite patterns.

Hong Gu stared at him with wide eyes. When she heard Mei Gu say that the house in Sijiucheng was big and beautiful, she didn't agree with him. The main reason was that she came here two years ago and the impression that Sijiucheng gave her was that it was gray. She never thought that this house was so luxurious.

The first courtyard was reserved by Lu Jiaxin for entertaining guests; the second courtyard was reserved for her own use. According to Lu Jiaxin's request, the antique furniture she bought was placed in it. The step-out bed in the bedroom was so exquisite that she liked it the last time she came here; the third courtyard was for Gu Xiuxiu. Considering her age and frequent confusion, the furniture used was sofas and round tables and chairs. All sharp corners were wrapped with cloth, and the layout was similar to her bedroom in Gangcheng. There was a stage in the fourth courtyard, which Lu Jiaxin kept. If Gu Xiuxiu was bored, she could do square dance in it, or invite people to sing operas and tell stories here; the fifth courtyard was not arranged for the time being, but there were two big trees next to the house and it was close to the pond in the back garden. It was very cool and it would be very comfortable to live in in the summer.

The most beautiful part of this house is the back garden, with its pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water. The scenery inside is exactly like the Suzhou gardens.

After looking at it, Aunt Mei asked, "Cousin, this house must have cost a lot of money to renovate, right?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "My aunt paid for the initial expenses. It cost about 200,000 yuan to buy the house and renovate it. I spent about 100,000 yuan later."

Aunt Mei was also a connoisseur of value, and asked in disbelief, "This house only cost three hundred thousand from the inside out? How could it be so cheap?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "It is indeed 300,000, but I am talking about Chinese currency, which is equivalent to about 1 million Hong Kong dollars. However, this 300,000 is only the purchase price and renovation costs of the house. The furniture and decorations purchased must be far more than this amount."

That step-through bed alone cost tens of thousands, and there are also furniture made of golden sandalwood and rosewood. The furniture in her yard alone cost more than 200,000 yuan.

Mei Gu thought this was normal. The furniture in the second courtyard and the old lady's room was not cheap at first glance, and 300,000 Chinese yuan was not enough. The mainland was poor, but there were many smart people with vision. With Lu Jiaxin's precedent, she dared not look down on anyone in the mainland.

There was a large pond in the house, the kind you could row a boat in. The pond was full of water but surrounded by wire.

Lu Jiaxin and Mei Gu explained, "Since my aunt is like this, I wanted to drain the water from the pool. That way it would be safer. But He Bin said that water represents wealth and can't be drained, otherwise it would be a bad omen. It's safer to surround it with wire mesh."

"Aunt Mei, He Bin has already found two nurses, both of whom are very professional. When the time comes, you and Aunt Mei will each bring a nurse to follow Auntie, so that it will be easier."

This arrangement was good and Mei Gu had no objection.

Gu Xiuxiu ate happily. If Mei Gu hadn't watched over her and stopped her in time, she would have eaten too much.

After eating, Gu Xiuxiu put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran to the back garden.

Gu Wenfeng said: "Boss, Ms. Gu's condition is getting worse."

"There's no way, this disease cannot be cured." Lu Jiaxin said.

Not to mention now, even after more than 30 years it still cannot be cured and can only be controlled with medication. Then the condition becomes more and more serious and finally no one recognizes it.

Seeing her sad face, Gu Wenfeng immediately changed the subject: "Boss, didn't you say last time that you wanted to hire a few bodyguards? Do you still want them now? If so, I'll ask them to come for an interview tomorrow afternoon."

He knew that Lu Jiaxin had to go to school on Monday, visit the grave tomorrow, and would have to rush back the day after tomorrow, so she had no time to stay any longer.

He Bin has already hired three strong men to guard the house. However, he recruited them through the manager of the big hotel. Lu Jiaxin was not very reassured and planned to recruit some retired soldiers.

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Let them all come. If they are good, they can all stay."

"I'll notify them later and ask them to come over after lunch tomorrow."

"Can."

Lu Jiaxin thought she would not be able to sleep when she slept on the step-down bed at night, but she fell into a deep sleep soon after climbing up. When she woke up the next morning, she heard that Lu Jiaguang and the three brothers of Lu Jiazong had all come, and the whole family came, not one was missing.

I knew they were very tired after traveling all day yesterday, so I didn’t come.

After Lu Jiaxin washed up, she went to the front yard. As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw a crowd of people. Not only the three brothers, but also the children were brought with them.

As soon as Mrs. Lu saw her, she couldn't wait to ask, "Jia Xin, I heard the gatekeeper say that this house has five entrances. When did you buy such a big house? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "This house was bought for me by my aunt. I hired someone to renovate it after I bought it. Because the house is large, it took a long time to renovate it. It was not completed until the end of September last year."

After that, she asked, "I want to have breakfast. You can go in and take a look around. But don't go to the third yard. My aunt lives there. She will be angry if you disturb her."

Mrs. Lu really wanted to know how big the house was: "Jia Xin, I won't be polite to you then."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "We are a family. Being too polite would only make us seem distant."
