Chapter 336 New Ideas
"You'll find out tomorrow," Xiao Siyue said mysteriously, winking.
"You little rascal, still keeping your brother in suspense? Fine, I'll wait until tomorrow to see what you're up to," Xiao Sining smiled indulgently.
The next day, Xiao Siyue brought several invitations to Xiao Sining.
"Fifth Brother, this is a message I wrote for Lanxing and the others. Please give it to them when you get back. I'd like to invite them over to visit."
Previously, it was always Lanxing who invited her to play, but now that there's such a nice place as the hot spring resort, she plans to invite a few friends to come and play as well.
"Okay, I thought you were going to ask me to do something else? Is this all?" Xiao Sining was a little disappointed.
"Hehe, there's also Fifth Brother." Xiao Siyue chuckled twice.
"What else?"
"Fifth Brother, it seems there's nothing fun to do on this estate except for the hot springs. I was thinking you have a lot of ideas, so I'd like to help you rearrange it." Xiao Sining loved to have fun and knew more about this than she did.
"Hmm, it is indeed a bit monotonous." Xiao Sining stroked her chin and thought for a moment. It was a waste to leave such a good place like this.
“Alright, leave this to Fifth Brother. I guarantee I’ll handle it well for you.” Xiao Sining patted his chest confidently.
"Thank you, Fifth Brother."
Xiao Sining was a woman of action; by the afternoon, she had already started listening to the chatter of the servants on the estate.
In Lu Zhijin's room.
He was sitting on the bed, flipping through a book that a servant had brought him, when he heard the noise outside and frowned: "What's going on outside?"
"Young Master Lu, it must be that my young master is leading people to build a swing." The servant listened carefully before realizing what was going on.
The sound wasn't actually very loud, as it was coming from across a courtyard, but Lu Zhijin's hearing was exceptionally good.
Lu Zhijin nodded. He had only rested for a day and was still unable to get out of bed. He still didn't know what this manor was like.
Xiao Siyue also came out to watch Xiao Sining make the swing, which was built right next to the hot spring.
Looking around, Xiao Siyue suddenly had a brilliant idea: could she turn this place into a resort where young masters and ladies from the capital could relax and hold banquets?
Xiao Siyue wanted to give it a try; even if no one came, she could bring her family.
Xiao Siyue immediately went back to her room and put her idea into action.
She thought about the resorts she had visited in modern times, and combined them with the current architecture of the estate to make some modifications.
There's also the back mountain. We need to repair the road there. I don't know if we can buy the mountain behind it. I'll have Fifth Brother ask around. If we can, she'll take care of it and plant all sorts of fruit trees when spring comes.
Then hire a few chefs; with so many modern culinary recipes, this aspect is not a problem at all.
Xiao Siyue spent an afternoon drawing up the design.
Then he took the design drawings to Xiao Sining.
"Fifth Brother, what do you think? If it were you, would you come here to play?" Xiao Siyue looked at Xiao Sining with some excitement.
"Yes, Yue'er, your idea is excellent. If this estate is really laid out according to your blueprints, I think all the young masters and ladies in the capital would be willing to come here to play."
"Alright, then Fifth Brother, I have a big task for you. I want to buy the back mountain. When you get back this time, go and see the government office."
“Okay, Fifth Brother has noted it down.” Xiao Sining knew her younger sister’s worth and wasn’t worried at all that she wouldn’t have money.
He was eager to go right now, but the thought of another patient made him give up.
Xiao Siyue wasn't worried about the fruit trees at all. The system had given her many rewards over the years, and she had already planted them and been eating the fruit for several years. Once she bought the trees on the back mountain, she could just dig them up and transplant them without having to wait several years.
She gave instructions on what she could do at the moment, telling Shi Hai and the others to find people so that construction could begin immediately.
She went to her room to write down recipes, especially the special, exquisite, and obviously expensive ones.
After all, she intended this estate to be a place for noble young masters and ladies to visit, so it might not be appropriate for the dishes to be too ordinary.
Two days later, Lu Zhijin was able to get out of bed and walk.
He'd been listening to the sounds outside for the past two days, and he was itching to know what they were doing.
Although the servant would explain to him, he ultimately didn't see it with his own eyes.
Lu Zhijin slowly opened the door and walked out. Looking at the long-awaited sunlight, he felt a little dazzled for a moment.
I used my hand to block it slightly, and only after I got used to it did I put my hand down.
I could also see the scene outside clearly: a very ordinary courtyard, nothing special.
He slowly walked out of the courtyard and followed the sound to the hot spring pool.
Xiao Sining and his sister happened to be there. Xiao Siyue sat on the swing watching Xiao Sining direct people to make arrangements.
Previously, there was only one hot spring pool here. She plans to decorate the surrounding area, adding lounge chairs and tables, and of course, building a few pavilions so that even if it rains, people can still enjoy the hot springs, and it will have a unique charm.
The two stopped what they were doing when they saw Lu Zhijin approaching.
"Zhijin, why are you here instead of resting?" Xiao Sining walked over to Lu Zhijin and asked with concern, looking Lu Zhijin up and down.
"I'm much better now. I've been staying inside for several days, so I thought I'd come out and see what's going on here?" Lu Zhijin replied with a smile.
"I'm..." Xiao Sining explained, successfully diverting Lu Zhijin's attention to Xiao Siyue.
"Brother Lu." Xiao Siyue, seeing Lu Zhijin's gaze, also came over to greet him.
Lu Zhijin's complexion had improved a lot, but the scar on his face was still a bit of an eyesore. Xiao Siyue still remembered how handsome his face was before, so captivating that it was hard to look away.
Perhaps Xiao Siyue's gaze was too direct, because Lu Zhijin reached out and touched his face: "Siyue, are you scared by the scars on my face?"
Xiao Siyue realized what was happening and quickly shook her head: "No, Brother Lu."
"I'm sorry, Brother Lu." Xiao Siyue thought Lu Zhijin had misunderstood, so she lowered her head and apologized guiltily.
"Why is Siyue apologizing? Brother Lu isn't sad. Didn't Shi Qing say before that this is only temporary and will be fine after a while?" Lu Zhijin didn't care much. Even if there was a scar, so what? It was just a physical body.
"Mmm." Xiao Siyue nodded vigorously, hoping to get better soon.
Lu Zhijin smiled, thinking to himself that this girl was really cute and kind-hearted. He wondered why he didn't have a younger sister like her, since she was so smart.
