Chapter 472: Chapter 441, Smart_1

After returning to the courtyard, Daohua took another close look at the Mountain Deed, and thinking of the hot springs on the mountain, she felt very delighted, “I must build a Hot Springs Villa on the mountain.”

After pondering for a while, she became troubled again.

The mountain was located in Beijing, while she was in Zhongzhou, which was too far away for her to manage. How was she to take care of it?

“I must first send someone to see what the mountain is really like.” Only then would she know how to plan.

Thinking of manpower, Daohua felt a headache coming on.

She didn’t have many people under her, and the only one who could handle things on their own outside was Xiaoliu. The affairs in Beijing were complicated, and whoever she sent needed to be clever and smooth.

...

At the moment, she really had no one to choose from.

“Truly, you never know how short-handed you are until you need people!”

The end of the year was approaching, and when the heads of the estates and shops came to do the accounts, she would have to see if there was anyone she could train.

Daohua pondered for a moment and had Wang Manman call Xiaoliu over.

Not long after, Daohua met with Xiaoliu in the outer room, “Brother Xiaoliu, I need to trouble you to make a trip to Beijing for me.”

Xiaoliu looked stunned, then blurted out, “Miss, are you going to Beijing to buy fields and estates?” The miss loved to buy land and estates; other than that, he couldn’t think of any reason for her to send him to Beijing.

Daohua couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, “My reach isn’t that far yet, but… it does have something to do with it.” She said this and passed the paper with the mountain’s address to Xiaoliu.

“This is a new mountain peak I’ve acquired, and I need you to help me inspect it. It would be best if you could draw a map of it to bring back to me.”

Xiaoliu took the paper and did not ask where it came from, nodding, “Miss, rest assured, I will find out everything about the mountain peak.”

Daohua smiled, “When you return from Beijing, go home for a visit too. You’ve been with my family for so many years, but you haven’t gone back yet.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaoliu’s expression immediately brightened, “Thank you, Miss.”

Daohua gave a smile and told Manman to escort Xiaoliu.

Wang Manman curtseyed and led Xiaoliu out.

After the two had left, Daohua walked over to the bedside and took out the Carved Sandalwood Lacquer Box from the secret compartment, and placed the Mountain Deed inside it.

Looking at the silver notes, land deeds, and shop deeds in the box, Daohua’s face showed a content smile.

Although the past few years had been busy, they also allowed her to accumulate a considerable fortune.

Being reborn in ancient times, although she had relatives who cared for her, the sense of security that silver brought could not be replaced by anything else.

Elsewhere, Wang Manman, after escorting Xiaoliu to Chuihua Gate, was ready to go back, but just as she turned around, she was called back by Xiaoliu.

“Manman, I have something to tell you.”

Wang Manman looked at him with a smile, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”

Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment, “These years with the miss, I’ve saved up some fortune. This time going home, I plan to fetch my parents and siblings as well.”

Wang Manman responded with a smile, “That’s good. If your parents come, you won’t be homesick all the time. In my opinion, you should have followed along when Brother Qin five brought his family over last year.”

Xiaoliu hesitated, then awkwardly said, “Not long ago, my mother wrote to me again, asking when I would get married; if they come, they’ll surely arrange it for me. You… what do you think?”

On hearing this, Wang Manman’s face turned red, “What do I think? In any case… I’m going to stay with the miss.” After saying this, she left as if fleeing.

Watching Wang Manman run away, Xiaoliu felt anxious. He was already twenty-two this year, and his parents were pressuring him; but Manman attended to the miss, and none of the miss’s maids were ever mentioned as having a husband.

If he wanted to marry Manman, he would either have to wait until the miss was married off, but the miss was only thirteen this year, and there were still several years before she left home; or he would have to beg the miss to let Manman go, but it was clear Manman was not willing to do so.

Alas, it seemed he would have to have a proper talk with his parents when they arrived.
