Chapter 2528: A good place for self-cultivation

After sighing, Lin Wan'er, accompanied by Sister Xian, climbed to the highest courtyard.

When she stepped into this courtyard, she found that it was even more to her liking than she had imagined just now.

Every brick, every tile, every grass, and every tree here is actually very exquisite. The bluestone ground of the courtyard even raised patches of moss.

And in one corner of the courtyard, there is an open-air hot spring pool with an extremely exquisite design. The rockery by the pool is vivid, and many bonsai plants are planted, which looks like a miniature real mountain.

Sister Xian followed on the side and introduced to her: "Miss Lin, this hot spring pool is connected to the natural hot spring water of Tangshan in Jin Ling. The hot spring water is transported to the mountain through underground pipes. The water temperature in summer can be used directly. The water temperature in winter will be slightly lost in the pipeline, but we have secondary heating equipment in the equipment room below, which can ensure that the heated hot spring water can be used outdoors even in the coldest season of winter."

Lin Wan'er asked in surprise: "Does Jin Ling have natural hot springs?"

"Yes." Sister Xian nodded and said seriously: "The only place with truly natural and healthy hot springs is Tangshan. The sulfur content is moderate, the mineral content is high, and the water quality is good. At the beginning, the master specially introduced a pipeline for the mistress, but this highest courtyard has never been used. The master and mistress are old, and every time they come, they only live on the lowest floor."

Lin Wan'er nodded gently and said: "I want to go inside the room and see."

Sister Xian said busily: "Miss Lin, please this way!"

After saying that, she led Lin Wan'er to the outside of the three tile-roofed houses.

Looking from a distance, there are three rooms, one high and two short, but in fact, the main entrance is in the two-story tile-roofed house, and the left and right rooms are inner-opening rooms.

After entering, you can see that the inside is actually a very elegant and simple suite. The first floor of the high tile-roofed house is the entrance hall, which can also be considered a living room, with an area of about 60 square meters. To the left is a pure Chinese-style study and dining room, and to the right is a Western-style structure, Chinese-style bathroom and cloakroom.

And the only bedroom is on the second floor of the high tile-roofed house. After going up the pure solid wood stairs, you can see the exquisite internal structure and design of the second floor. All the furniture is made of top-grade yellow rosewood, and the craftsmanship is exceptionally exquisite, which immediately hit Lin Wan'er's aesthetics.

Because the second floor also has an area of more than 60 square meters, this bedroom can be considered exceptionally large. In the south and north, there are two circular windows. In the south, there is a couch for reading, and in the north, there is a desk with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Sister Xian introduced her on the side: "Since it was built here, it has always maintained this state. The master requires us to clean and maintain it every day, to be bright and clean, without half a dust. Later, we renovated the hidden air conditioning and fresh air system on the roof, as well as the constant humidity system, to ensure that it is isolated from external dust as much as possible, and to prevent mold and hair growth caused by excessive humidity in the furniture, and to produce odors."

Lin Wan'er asked curiously: "Why did your master spend so much effort to get such a villa, but never lived in it?"

"I don't know." Sister Xian smiled slightly and said: "The master just ordered that it should be maintained here, and required that I must be present to supervise when maintaining it every day. As for the others, he never told me."

"Okay." Lin Wan'er nodded thoughtfully, and sighed: "This is really a good place for self-cultivation. If possible, I am willing to live here for twenty years or even longer."

Sister Xian smiled slightly and said respectfully: "The master has already said, if Miss Lin likes it, you can live here all the time. As long as you live here, you are the real master here."

Because Sister Xian is the housekeeper here, Qiu Yingshan did not deliberately act on Lin Wan'er's identity.

When picking up the plane, Sister Xian saw that her master and mistress were very respectful to Lin Wan'er, even to the point of being respectful, so Lin Wan'er could not be a relative or even a junior of the master and mistress.

Moreover, she knew best how much the master valued this highest courtyard. Why did everyone have to let her follow when they came here? It was because the master didn't want any servant to damage the furnishings and layout here.

But now, he generously gave it to Lin Wan'er to live in. It can be seen that Lin Wan'er's weight in his heart is extremely heavy!

At this time, Lin Wan'er asked Sister Xian: "By the way, how many servants are there?"

Sister Xian replied: "There are 16 aunts who do things, 4 bodyguards, 2 drivers, a total of 22 people, plus me, a total of 23 people."

Lin Wan'er asked in surprise: "Are there so many aunts?"

"Yes." Sister Xian replied: "There are 4 aunts responsible for laundry and cooking, 8 aunts responsible for hygiene and maintenance in various places, and 4 aunts responsible for gardening. However, some people are more flexible, and some can be temporarily deployed if needed."

Lin Wan'er asked again: "Where do these servants come from?"

Sister Xian said: "They all come from Malaysia. They were carefully selected from the servants at home when I came here."

"Understood." Lin Wan'er nodded gently, and felt a little relieved.

These people come from Malaysia and have served the Qiu family for many years, basically all of them are innocent family slaves.

Although the nature of family slaves no longer exists in the mainland, this tradition is still retained in wealthy families in Southeast Asia.

The ratio of servants to family members in the homes of real wealthy people in Southeast Asia can sometimes reach 5 to 1 or higher.

In order to ensure stability and reliability as much as possible, and reduce personnel turnover, they often adopt this family slave system, recruiting them into the home to do things when they are teenagers, and doing it until they retire, and then the family will provide for them for the rest of their lives.

Most of the servants who choose family slaves come from poor families, and a whole family needs to be supported, so they send one to a wealthy family to help.

There are many benefits to being a servant. They eat well, live well, and have a rich income at home. Moreover, almost all the money they earn can be saved to subsidize the family. The family does not need them to have high academic qualifications or be proficient in other languages, they only need them to be honest and diligent.

In the less economically developed Southeast Asian regions, such work is what many families and individuals yearn for.

Therefore, the vast majority of servants also regard being a family slave as a lifelong job, and are even willing to give up marriage and childbirth for this.

Servants who grow up in this environment cherish their work, are loyal to their family, and have little contact with the outside world, and are not easily led astray by bad ideas from the outside world, so the safety factor is naturally much higher.

Lin Wan'er liked this place more and more. She, who had always been calm, rarely said to Sister Xian excitedly: "I have some things I need, I will list a list later, you go and help me prepare it."

Sister Xian said respectfully: "Okay, Miss Lin, give me the list, I will go and do it immediately!" ===== CHAPTER 2529 =====
