Chapter 1043 Just an Outsider
The reputation that Chengyun Villa has gained is largely due to the creation of the previous owner, who is also Mrs. Cheng's husband.
It can be said that the current prosperity of the entire Zhixu Town is also due to the efforts of the owner of the manor.
"When the uncle who owns the manor was alive, he donated money and labor every year, and led people to build roads and bridges everywhere in the town. When merchants came by, he always invited them to dinner and drinks, and spared no effort to introduce Zhixu Town to them. Before they left, he also gave them gifts from here, hoping that after they left, they would tell outsiders more about Zhixu Town."
Xiao Lanyuan told Fu Zhaoning about Chengyun Villa and Zhixu Town.
"The business of Chengyun Villa has also expanded outside, and people outside have talked about Zhixu Town a lot, so gradually this place has become famous. With the addition of Youqing Peak, the popularity has increased. People in the town know the contributions made by Chengyun Villa, so they naturally respect Chengyun Villa all the time."
Hearing this, Fu Zhaoning asked thoughtfully, "So, the people in this town are so nice to Madam Cheng now—"
"It's mostly because of the owner of the manor. Although Aunt Cheng is a good person, her ability and courage are indeed insufficient. If there were no master to control or guide her in many things, Chengyun Mountain Manor might not have been able to survive until now."
Xiao Lanyuan has always known this.
Even he had handled several matters regarding the villa for Mrs. Cheng in the past few years.
A big part of the reason why Chengyun Villa has been able to survive until now and still maintain its reputation is due to the reputation it has accumulated in the past.
"There are also some people in the town who have received favors from the villa in the past. They have been repaying the favor in recent years by helping Aunt Cheng manage the villa."
Fu Zhaoning nodded when he heard this and didn't ask any more questions.
Of course, she also knew that she wouldn't be able to survive for long just relying on the favors she had received in the past. At best, she could just make do, but it would be difficult to have any innovation or new development.
Based on her understanding of Mrs. Cheng during this period, it is really unlikely that Chengyun Villa will have any further development.
She believed Xiao Lanyuan understood this better than she did, but it had nothing to do with her, so she certainly didn't care.
"There is a chef in the villa named Lao Wan. Although his cooking skills are not as good as Chef Du's, they are also pretty good. The dishes he makes are delicious, so I also want to let you have a taste."
Xiao Lanyuan did not continue talking about the development of the villa and changed the subject.
"Lao Wan? He can cook these seafoods, right?"
"I don't know if he can make what you bought, but if he can't, at least he can help. Otherwise, I'll go and help you later?"
Xiao Lanyuan said this because he realized that Fu Zhaoning was thinking of cooking the seafood he bought by himself.
"Okay." Fu Zhaoning was not polite.
It would be nice to let the great Prince Jun help her prepare a seafood dinner.
Soon, they arrived at Chengyun Villa.
The gate of the villa looks very majestic. Such a building would be great even if it was placed in the capital, let alone in this small town?
Fu Zhaoning actually had some admiration for the late owner of the manor. It was not easy to build such a villa here without attracting jealousy and having such a good reputation. It must have taken a lot of effort.
When Mrs. Cheng arrived at her door, she was full of energy.
After Fu Zhaoning and Xiao Lanyuan got off the carriage, they stood aside waiting. After she got off, she turned around to help Princess Fuyun.
"Come on, Ah Fu, we're home now, you can finally take a break. I'll have someone prepare the best room for you so you can live comfortably. After all, I haven't met a girl I like as much as you in many years."
"Thank you, Aunt Cheng. Then I won't consider myself an outsider anymore."
"That's for sure. This is your home, don't be so formal. Lu Guo will talk to the servants and ask them to serve you well. If there is anything you need or if you need anything, just tell them."
It can be seen that Mrs. Cheng is really relaxed and very happy.
After saying this to Princess Fuyun, he turned to Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning, and there was obviously something different.
"A Yuan, you too, this is your home now. You are familiar with this place, so you don't need me to greet you. Just take the princess and settle her down."
In response to what Xiao Lanyuan said, he smiled lightly and nodded to Fu Zhaoning, being very polite and unfamiliar.
Fu Zhaoning found it a little funny.
People like Mrs. Cheng are nothing to her.
Maybe Madam Cheng would feel that this would hurt her, make her uncomfortable, and then make trouble with Xiao Lanyuan?
But in fact, she no longer considers Mrs. Cheng as her own. Since she is an outsider, how can she ask others to be enthusiastic towards her?
She is not made of gold. It is normal that some people like her and some don't.
"Aunt Cheng, let's go in first?"
"Yes, yes, everyone come in first, come in, come in."
The group entered Chengyun Villa, and the villa suddenly became lively.
Madam Cheng wanted to arrange for Xiao Lanyuan to live in the back yard, but when she thought that he was bringing Fu Zhaoning with him, she decided to forget it. So when she heard Xiao Lanyuan say that he wanted to live in the front yard, she nodded without objection and took Princess Fuyun to the back yard first.
Chengyun Villa is bigger inside than it looks from the outside. It covers a very large area and it is possible to run horses inside the villa.
The villa is divided into two parts, the front and back yards. The front yard is for receiving outside guests, while the back yard is not allowed to outsiders.
Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning moved to the outer courtyard, and Xiaoyue and the others also settled down in the surrounding houses.
After Fu Zhaoning simply packed up, he took Eleven White Tigers and the others to the kitchen carrying the seafood.
There were also a few people outside the villa rushing to the kitchen.
"Hurry, hurry, Lao Wan must be very busy today. Let's get in line first, otherwise he won't have time to cook these seafood for us."
Fu Zhaoning heard someone shouting loudly and someone else responded.
"Is Lao Wan so popular?"
Xiaoyue was a little worried. "Miss, so many people came to ask Lao Wan to cook seafood, then we——"
She looked a little scared, mainly because she really didn't know how to do these things.
"It's okay, I'll do it myself. You guys wait for dinner tonight." When Fu Zhaoning came over just now, he had already changed into clothes that were more convenient for work.
"I'll help." Xiaoyue said quickly.
"Xiao Lanyuan said he would come to help me." Fu Zhaoning looked back, "I changed my clothes and he disappeared. Where did he go?"
Eleven said, "Princess, the prince just said that he will come to the kitchen to see you soon."
"Well, let's go quickly. We're hungry."
The kitchen of Chengyun Villa is also very large, and there are many people inside, all of whom are busy at the moment.
As soon as Fu Zhaoning arrived, she smelled a faint scent. She stopped and sniffed carefully.
