Chapter 217 Hot Spring 1
The two masters were going to stay at the hot spring villa for a while, but their subordinates were very busy. On the one hand, they had to pack the daily food and clothing for the princess, and on the other hand, they had to ask the chef at the villa to prepare food in advance.
By the time Ji Xiaohan set out with the little princess in the evening, all the people on the farm had finished their preparations and were waiting inside, ready to pay their respects to the master and the princess.
Unexpectedly, after Ji Xiaohan brought the little princess here, he directly carried the little princess to the small courtyard without thinking of summoning everyone.
There are many villas and courtyards here, and each courtyard is next to each other. The hot spring water flows into each courtyard. Even at night, you can see white mist rising under the moonlight. Even if the temperature drops at night, it remains at a comfortable temperature after entering this villa.
Su Wanyan couldn't wait to take a hot spring bath, but Ji Xiaohan was concerned that the little princess hadn't had dinner yet, so he coaxed her into having dinner first.
Only after the little princess had eaten and drunk her fill and her body had adapted to the temperature of the villa did Ji Xiaohan ask He Bo to call the manager of the manor and lead a group of servants to pay their respects.
The steward led the others to kneel in front of the screen, kowtow in unison, and said a lot of flattering words. They also respectfully took out the account book of the farm and wanted to show it to the master.
"There's no need to look at the account book. You should discuss these trivial matters with Long Gao later, and Long Gao will report to the princess for review." Ji Xiaohan waved his hand and said, "Remove the screens."
After hearing this, the maids kneeling below hurriedly stood up, pushed open the screen, and then knelt back down again.
Ji Xiaohan looked at the circle of people kneeling below, then glanced at the little princess who was sitting solemnly beside him, and said, "It's just right that everyone is kneeling now. Let the princess recognize everyone tonight. This is my property and will belong to the princess from now on. You must treat it with respect."
Several stewards, accompanied by maids and servants, said, "Yes."
Ji Xiaohan paused, then continued, "The princess is young, so you have to be smart and serve her well, knowing what she likes and dislikes. If anyone dares to reveal her preferences, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Several managers had frequent contact with Long Gao and knew his master's temper. They could get along with him, but once he did something that displeased his master, it would not be enough to just hold one person accountable. Therefore, his subordinates immediately expressed their loyalty.
Seeing that the scolding was almost over, Ji Xiaohan let the little princess say a few words to show his respect, gave her some silver, and let her go.
It was the first time that Su Wanyan acted like a hostess in such a serious manner. She felt both fresh and helpless at the same time. This was just a farm. If there were more accounting matters, wouldn't it be annoying to death?
I don’t know why women in ancient times liked to fight for the power of housekeeper so much. How busy must they be?
After finishing all these things, it was already midnight. Su Wanyan had slept a lot during the day, but she was not sleepy yet. She pestered Ji Xiaohan to go to the hot springs. Ji Xiaohan had no choice but to agree to her.
He ordered people to place fruit and snacks next to the hot spring, and then took the little princess there.
The two of them walked through six small courtyards and stopped only at the seventh courtyard. Spring water flowed in from the outside, and after several twists and turns, it finally converged in this courtyard. The spring water was not only clean, but also had a temperature that was most suitable for the human body. In the mist, there were only two of them standing in the moonlight in this small courtyard.
