Outside Danzhou City, there is a Lianhua Mountain Range that stretches for hundreds of miles. Among the mountain tops are red walls, green tiles, and flying eaves, attracting passers-by to take a second look.
They can only take a look at such a wealthy place.
The villa with red walls and blue tiles is the famous Zhu Family Manor.
The scenery inside is picturesque and the food is exquisite.
Nowadays, in Danzhou City, only one or two families have the courage to walk around the Zhu family manor.
However, those two families also stayed away from this place.
Whose money is not brought by the strong wind?
The old man on the oxcart chuckled: "I don't know how rich the owner of Zhu's Manor is. Why does he want to build such a luxurious place and have no customers?"
"You can't make a penny of money, but the wages you give to the servants every day are a huge sum."
"Hey, I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.
"What do you know!" said a person in the car: "If I have money, I don't care about raising these people. If you want to go to Zhuangzi to do the most menial work, they won't want you!"
The old man hummed: "I'm not going."
The man smiled before and the two of them stopped talking, but his eyes swept across the attic roof tiles among the greenery, and there was a hint of yearning in his eyes.
Such a beautiful and fairyland-like place is where the servants who work as sweepers have to work much harder than they, the traffickers and lackeys.
Who doesn’t want to go?
But what he just said was also true.
This place is not something they can go to if they want to.
People really don't want it.
…
Time flies, and the Golden Crow sinks in the west.
In August, Danzhou is very hot and boring during the day, but cool and comfortable at night.
A young and handsome young man walked out of the largest Xianke Building in Zhujia Manor.
The young master is dressed in a water-embroidered blue shirt, with a fine mutton-fat white jade belt tied around his waist, and holding a jade fracture fan that is hard to buy for a thousand dollars as he walks around. His robe is raised and lowered, and the folding fan is gently swaying. He looks like a leisurely young master from an aristocratic family.
There were two people behind the young master. One was dressed in green and had wide sleeves. He was the young master's bodyguard.
The other one was a middle-aged man, who was slightly bowed and kept three steps behind the young master. There was a glint in his slightly narrowed eyes, and he could tell at a glance that he was a powerful character.
"There is a cold spring in the back mountain, and the temperature is just right for taking a dip at night." The middle-aged man asked with a smile, "Sir, would you like to take a dip there to relieve the fatigue from the journey?"
The green-clothed guard's eyes lit up, "Sir, let's go for a bubble bath. It's already hot here in Danzhou, and we came here in a hurry, so I feel uncomfortable."
What's more, Jin Gui's master.
The young master paused slightly, "Is it far?"
"It's not far." The middle-aged steward said, "It takes about two-quarters of an hour's walk - the mountain road there is rugged and narrow, making it difficult for carriages, horses and sedans to pass."
The guard sighed: "Do we still have to walk over?"
The young master actually smiled and said, "It's only two-quarters of an hour. Go ahead and ask Manager Jing to help me prepare."
"Old slave, I obey."
The young master passed through the pavilions and pavilions, came out from the corner gate of the villa, and followed the boy who led the way to the cold spring that the steward mentioned.
Sure enough, after walking for two-quarters of an hour, the group saw a very clean bluestone path ahead among the banana leaves. The front was filled with white air, and there seemed to be a refreshing air flow blowing towards them.
The guard breathed a sigh of relief.
It looks good, so he probably didn't run away in vain.
They rushed to the Zhu family manor in Danzhou, working day and night along the way, but they were very tired.
If we walk for another two-quarters of an hour, the cold spring will be nothing. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
The boy following the two of them was carrying two bundles. One contained clothes for the young master, and the other was square. When the bundle was opened, it was a wooden box.
Inside were bath balms and essential oils, jade combs, hairpins, hair ties, and several bottles and jars he had never seen before.
Come to think of it, these are all things that are so expensive that they have no market.
The guard couldn't help but sigh: "Guan Jing is so considerate."
As the young master's personal bodyguard, he has never been so meticulously prepared to serve the young master.
The young master——Yun Zichen showed no expression.
This level of extravagance is a characteristic of the Zhu Family Manor, but excessive extravagance has also led to the Zhu Family Manor being overrated. Business has been bleak in the past few years, and a large amount of money has to be paid to maintain the manor.
I can't make ends meet every year.
He, the business partner of the Zhu Family Manor, couldn't bear the losses for years.
He came here this time to find a way to solve the situation at the Zhu Family Manor in Danzhou.
"Qingyuan."
Yun Zichen spoke quietly.
"Understood!" Guard Qingyuan took the things from the boy's hand, signaled the boy to retreat, and then carefully placed the clothes, bottles, cans and other items on a smooth and flat stone by the spring.
At first glance, this stone is specially used to store bath supplies.
When Yun Zichen was undressing, Qingyuan sensibly went to a farther place to rest.
Clothes fell to the ground one by one. Yun Zichen got into the water wearing a light and soft middle coat. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the pool to relieve his body's fatigue from the past few days.
As for those balms and essential oils... he had just taken a look at them, but had no intention of using them.
It's too much trouble.
And it was too expensive. A small bottle was worth thousands of gold. If he really used it, he would feel really uncomfortable.
Qingyuan was bored, so he pulled a banana leaf and shook it to play with.
After working hard for days, he wandered for a while and felt sleepy.
The sound of gurgling water helped him fall asleep. Qingyuan staggered for a moment, then leaned on the stone steps and fell asleep.
Bang, bang, bang!
Suddenly, there was a series of loud noises not far away.
Qingyuan suddenly woke up and grabbed the sword beside him, "What's wrong?!"
"Something fell from above." Yun Zichen's voice was calm, "To the southwest, go and take a look -"
Plop!
Before he finished speaking, there was a huge sound of falling water from the other side of the pool.
Yun Zichen frowned slightly.
Someone fell into the cold spring pool.
With just a quick glance, he already realized that it was a woman.
Something happened to him since he was a child, and he was disgusted with women from the bottom of his heart. He immediately stood up and got out of the water without hesitation, put on his robe, and said, "Let's take care of this first."
"Yes!" Qingyuan hurried to the edge of the cold spring pool. When he saw the woman floating face down on the water, her mouth opened as if she could swallow an egg.
He slowly raised his head and glanced upward.
Yun Zichen reminded: "If you are still alive, save others first."
Qingyuan immediately stopped talking nonsense, jumped into the water and took off the woman. When he took the woman to the shore, and glanced at the woman under the moonlight, he suddenly said strangely: "This person seems familiar."
"Huh?" Yun Zichen then turned around. When he saw the woman's appearance clearly, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, showing a bit of surprise.
It's her!
Qingyuan suddenly said: "Isn't she Miss Susu from the Grand Master's family? How could she fall here!"
"..."
Yun Zichen also silently looked up along the mountain wall on the side of the cold spring.
The entire Lianhua Mountain is the Zhu Family Bamboo Garden. Only this part of the mountain wall has weeds and the plants are very messy. There are unknown thorny thorns everywhere, and the mountain is steep.
It was inconvenient for craftsmen to get up there, and it was even harder to transport bricks and tiles, so it was abandoned.
It is considered to be the north side of Zhujia Manor.
Where did she fall from?
But now is obviously not the time to think about this.
He tied up his belt and picked up his robe to put it on his body. He hesitated slightly, and finally threw the robe to Qing Yuan and asked him to wrap it around Zhang Susu, and then went to Xianke Tower.
After Yun Zichen returned, she asked her maid to take a bath and change into dry clothes.
Zhang Susu was unconscious from beginning to end.
After putting the bed on the bed, Yun Zichen looked at her from a safe distance and found that she had an injury on her forehead, and there were many scratches on her cheeks, neck, and exposed skin.
The maid whispered: "The girl also hit a big bump on the back of her head, bleeding a lot, and her calf bones look strange. We need to see a doctor quickly."
Yun Zichen frowned and thought to himself: Why was he injured so badly?
There are no guests in this Zhu family manor all year round, and the doctor who was originally raised in the manor has also left long ago. No one can treat patients in such a large manor.
Although Yun Zichen ordered the steward to go to Danzhou City to ask for a doctor as soon as he rescued her, it was already very late at this time——
Yun Zichen looked at the sky outside and felt a little worried.
If she couldn't find a doctor, how could she survive tonight with such a serious injury?
