Chapter 771 Leisurely Life
The old Valley Master took a carriage to Hao Mansion with some doubts, only to realize that what his cousin said was true.
There are really six courtyards in Hao's mansion, and my cousin and his apprentices lived in two courtyards.
There are four other courtyards that are vacant, and the other one has been cleaned, waiting for him to move in when he arrives.
This courtyard is even better than the one he lived in in the Valley of Heavenly Medicine, with pavilions and pavilions inside.
All kinds of flowers, plants and trees in the garden are carefully selected, and it looks more like a large mansion.
Moreover, the layout of each room is also very reasonable. It is not placed randomly. It has obviously been carefully designed by someone.
The old valley owner was very satisfied that his granddaughter had such a considerate arrangement.
After all, he is old and not in good health. If he cannot sleep well, it will inevitably affect his health.
"Master, uncle, please come in." There were several apprentices drying herbs at the door of his cousin's yard.
When I saw them coming in, I immediately put down what I was doing and greeted them respectfully.
Among them was a slender young man in green clothes who greeted them with a bright smile.
The old Valley Master nodded, "You continue to work!"
"Yes, uncle."
"Old Valley Master, please rest for a while and drink a cup of tea before taking a shower." The young man in green said attentively.
Another apprentice has already brought a pot of hot tea and a set of white jade tea sets.
The young man in green clothes poured him a cup of fragrant Longjing, then he went back and continued his work.
"Eldest cousin, are you satisfied with this place?" Hao Baorong asked ostentatiously.
"Yes." The old valley master picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then turned his attention to the situation in the yard.
I saw the apprentices collecting all the dried herbs and putting them into bags such as cloth bags.
The disciples' houses are equipped with neat beds, quilts, tables and chairs, basins and bowls... everything is in order.
"It looks comfortable here, let alone a place to live. Do you prepare the meals yourself?"
"No, there is a unified kitchen, and you can also bring the ingredients back and cook them yourself, as long as you are happy."
"Can the food cooked in the big kitchen be eaten?" the old owner asked with a frown.
"Hey! The chef in the big kitchen is Yan'er's apprentice, and the food he cooks is delicious."
Hao Baorong himself tried making it once, and it was unpalatable.
The old valley master drank tea for a while, then went to wash up, and then had a good sleep.
"Uncle, should we go get food and come back to eat, or should we go to the dining hall to eat?"
Hao Baorong's apprentice saw the old valley master getting up and hurriedly approached him and asked.
"Let's go to the dining hall first. Anyway, we have had enough rest today. Let's stop by the dining hall and have a look. Cousin, do you think it's okay?"
Hao Baorong said, turning his head to look at his cousin.
The old valley master saw his cousin and several apprentices standing there waiting for him to make a decision, so he nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let's go to the dining hall first, and also meet Yan'er's grandparents."
Hao Baorong: "...I can't see Yan'er and my cousin when I go to the dining hall. They have a kitchen in their house, so they usually don't go to the dining hall to eat."
"Then let's go to Yan'er's house for dinner, and this old man coaxed me to come over and ignore me?"
"That's not because Yan'er is pregnant. My cousin was so happy that she forgot about you." Hao Baorong could only tell the truth.
"Let's go to the big dining hall to eat. We have a long way to go. Next time we will go to their house to eat."
After a few people walked out of the room, they walked directly outside the yard. The young man in green had already hitched the carriage.
"You want to take a carriage to have a meal?" the old valley owner asked doubtfully. He thought they were walking there.
When Hao Baorong heard what the old valley owner said, he explained with a smile: "First cousin, Yan'er said that we should not do strenuous exercise before meals. We should go there by carriage, eat a full meal and then walk back slowly."
"Oh, so that's it." The old valley master suddenly understood and nodded.
He became more and more interested in the castle, so he asked everyone to get on the carriage.
The old valley owner and the Hao Baorong brothers were chatting animatedly in the carriage, and the young man driving the carriage was extremely happy.
Because he could still exchange a few words with the old valley owner, the carriage moved very quickly, and in just a cup of tea, he arrived at the largest dining hall in the castle.
"Doctor Hao, are you here?" The young man guarding the door quickly greeted Hao Baorong respectfully.
Because he is the miracle doctor of the Heavenly Medicine Valley and the great-uncle of their castle owner, the teenagers have always respected him.
"Well, this is the old Valley Master that you have always been curious about. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to him."
Hao Baorong introduced his cousin to the teenagers, and not only the teenagers were very enthusiastic about the old valley owner.
Even the grandfathers of the Cheng family, Song family, Wei family, and Nie family who were about the same age as him in the dining hall stood up and warmly invited the old valley owner to sit at the table with them.
In just one meal, the old valley owner fell in love with Xuanyan Castle. This place is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
The food is also extremely delicious. Although it is a big pot dish, it tastes really delicious.
The old grain owner ate half a bowl of rice more than usual. After the grandfathers were full, they took a leisurely walk.
Along the road, you can see endless fields, and the crops in the castle are growing extremely lush, which is pleasing to the eye.
"Old Valley Master, have you seen that? Those beans are still the seeds we planted a few times." The grandfather of the Song family said proudly.
"You also want to do farm work?" the old grain owner asked in surprise.
"When the farming is busy, I will follow everyone to do farm work, but I won't do such heavy work as plowing the fields."
"During the off-season, we would drink tea and play chess together. It's late May now, and it's not the season for double grabbing yet."
"Let's just walk around leisurely and look around, and then go to the pavilion to play chess."
The grandfathers introduced their lives sentence by sentence, which made the old valley owner jealous.
"How about we go play chess now and visit the castle tomorrow morning?" Nie's grandfather suggested.
He is a careful person, and the old valley owner must have had a hard time traveling.
So several grandfathers, Master Wuchen, King Zhenbei and others set up two chess tables.
These old men like to play chess on weekdays, even if they go to bed late, they do it late.
As people get older, they are less sleepy than young people, so they often get together to drink tea and play chess.
"Oh, Brother Cheng, why are you walking so strangely?"
"Oh, it's nothing..."
"But I think this step is pretty good!"
"Really? I'm really sorry, I'm going to conquer you."
"Hey! I didn't see it clearly just now. I'll take a step back and come back. No matter what, I can't take this opportunity to give it to you, General."
When Chu Lixuan came with his wife, he saw several people arguing in front of him.
I sighed in my heart, these old men really couldn't help it, when are this, and they can be so cheerful.
"Grandpa, I am still worried that you are not used to the life here?" Jiang Xinyan stood for a while and no one cared about her.
