"Madame Zhou is going too? Isn't Madame Zhou at the mansion taking care of the affairs in the courtyard?" Qu Moying asked in surprise. She really didn't know about this.
She was going to a farm outside the city to soak in the hot springs, and she had not originally planned to bring Nanny Zhou with her.
With Nanny Zhou watching over her at Qianyue Residence, she felt relieved and there was no need for them to go out together.
Among the three maids, Nanny Miao is good at traveling. With Nanny Miao around, one can feel more at ease when taking care of things when traveling. Nanny Zhou is good at taking care of the house. With Nanny Zhou around, everything in the yard will be arranged in an orderly manner. As for Nanny Yan, she is used when dealing with some high-ranking families. No matter it is for gifts or other things, Nanny Yan will not be impolite in her response to Qu Moying.
"Madame Zhou meant that she had to go and take a look this time, saying that she was worried. She also had to arrange a place to stay in the manor first. The young lady would be staying there for a few days during this trip." Madame Miao explained.
"Okay then!" Qu Moying laughed, thinking that Madam Zhou was being too cautious, but since it was not a big deal, he just agreed.
The next day, after Qu Moying said goodbye to the lady, he led his men out of the city.
They went to the hot spring resort that Pei Yuanjun had given them before. Qu Moying had always been in poor health, so she suggested going to take a hot spring bath. Moreover, this hot spring belonged to the King of England, so Mrs. Qu agreed.
The carriage left the city and headed towards Zhuangzi.
"Miss, that is the manor under the name of the prince. It should be in the hands of Concubine Ji now. During this period, she has been coming here to soak in the hot springs and recuperate!" Yu Dong suddenly looked at a place and pointed.
Qu Moying tilted her head and her eyes turned cold. It didn't look very familiar, but at least she could tell at a glance that it was there.
It was quite far away and I could only see the gate from a distance.
Qu Moying was not surprised by this. Wasn't it to come here to recuperate this time to "clash" with Ji Youran? The two families were so close, and according to etiquette, they had to visit each other.
But she has never acted according to etiquette!
"Don't you often leave the farm?" Qu Moying leaned back and asked coldly.
"She seldom comes out. She mainly focuses on recuperating and taking care of her body. Even when she goes out, she walks around inside the manor. If there is something happening in the Eastern Palace, she will have people report here to handle it. She seldom goes back to the Eastern Palace, and there are not many matters reported to her, almost none!" Yu Dong reported.
Qu Moying nodded and closed his eyes slightly.
Prescriptions, hot springs, rest and recuperation, it's clear why Ji Youran is preparing...
Pei Yuanjun's manor was not far from the prince's manor. Standing at the entrance of the manor, he could see Pei Luoan's manor from afar. Likewise, he knew that Ji Youran was here, and Ji Youran would also know that he had come here. With her character, he could still guess what would happen next...
The carriage entered the farm and went straight to the courtyard.
The yard had already been cleaned up. Nanny Zhou brought a few maids and old women to clean it up yesterday.
Seeing Qu Moying's carriage arrive, Nanny Zhou hurried out to greet him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam Zhou." After getting off the carriage, Qu Moying looked at Madam Zhou and smiled.
"It's not hard. I took a look and found that everything here has been basically cleaned up. I just had someone clean it again." Nanny Zhou smiled, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with everything here.
"How about the hot spring?" Qu Moying smiled and led people to the main house.
Yudong was already waiting there, lifting the curtain
.
"The hot springs are very good. There are three of them. The largest one is not far behind this house. You can go through the back door of the main house and it's connected to the main house." Madam Zhou pointed to the back and said, "In fact, not only this one is connected to the main house, but the other two are also connected to the courtyard. There are three courtyards in total, each with a hot spring. This is the largest courtyard."
Although Nanny Zhou only came yesterday, she has already investigated this matter thoroughly.
Qu Moying really didn't know that in her previous life, she had gained fame for nothing, but she had never actually taken a formal bath in the prince's hot spring. She really didn't know that these courtyards were built with the help of the hot spring.
"I have heard that although several nearby manors have hot springs, the one at Prince Ying's Palace is the best and largest, and I heard it is also the most effective." Nanny Zhou said proudly.
"The most effective?" Qu Moying smiled. She could understand the best and the biggest, but what was this so-called most effective
"It really is the most effective, young lady, please don't disbelieve it!" When Madam Zhou saw Qu Moying's expression, she knew that her young lady didn't believe it, and hurriedly explained, "There is a basis for this."
"What's the basis?" Qu Moying sat down and asked with interest.
"People in the village said so." Nanny Zhou pointed outside the window.
"What did the people in the manor say?" Qu Moying knew that there was someone in charge of this manor. When she entered the door just now, she saw the steward of Prince Ying's Mansion. However, the steward just bowed to her and then stepped aside, leaving all matters to Nanny Zhou to handle.
This must have been Pei Yuanjun's instruction, as he wanted Qu Moying to use his own people so that he would feel more comfortable.
The person in charge was still guarding the yard, waiting for Qu Moying to question him.
"Yes, that's what the steward said!" Seeing that the young lady didn't believe her, Madam Zhou puffed out her chest and said, "Young lady, this farm was awarded by the emperor, specially for His Royal Highness the King of England. I heard that His Royal Highness the King of England was in poor health at that time and would get sick from time to time, so he would often come here to soak in the hot springs."
Pei Yuanjun's current appearance does not show any signs of poor health. As a prince leading the troops, he holds military power and is naturally extraordinary in skills. So with him around, the so-called most effective effect has become ironclad evidence.
Thinking of how Pei Yuanjun had become the most effective living signboard of the hot spring, Qu Moying couldn't help but laugh. Her smile caused the people around her to laugh as well.
"Miss, please don't disbelieve me. The managers of several surrounding manors all said so. Look at His Royal Highness the King of England, and then look at the others... The small hot spring here is almost as big as the largest one in other manors." Nanny Zhou thought Qu Moying didn't believe it, and continued to hint.
The so-called others, of course, are other people, for example, Crown Prince Pei Luoan, who looks like he is in poor health. As for the King of Wei, that's even more so. The King of Jing is okay, but he was born in good health. As for the King of Yan... Nanny Zhou thinks that the King of Yan might have also taken a hot spring bath here.
"Is that what you mean? Are there any connections between the managers?" Qu Moying asked with a sweet smile.
"The stewards are in contact. Yesterday, the steward told me that he is the steward here and is in charge of everything here. If I need anything, I can just tell him and he will do his best to meet my needs. Even if he doesn't have it at the moment, he will go to the neighboring farms to borrow it. He said they are all royal farms."
"Madam Zhou, please call the manager over so I can ask him." Qu Moying ordered.
It is reasonable and logical for her to call the manager over and ask questions in person since this is her first day here.
Madam Zhou responded and went down.
