Chapter 2560 self-cultivation and good housing
After sighing, Lin Wan'er, accompanied by Sister Xian, climbed to the highest courtyard.
When she stepped into this courtyard, she realized that this place was more pleasing to her than she had just imagined.
Every brick, every tile, every grass and every tree here is actually very exquisite, and even pieces of moss are raised on the bluestone floor of the courtyard.
In one corner of the courtyard, there is also an exquisitely designed and exquisite open-air hot spring bathing pool. The rockery beside the pool is vivid and many bonsai plants are planted, making it look like a miniature real mountain.
Sister Xian followed and introduced to her: "Ms. Lin, this hot spring bathing pool is connected to the natural hot spring water of Tangshan, Jinling. The hot spring water is transported all the way up the mountain from the underground pipeline. The water temperature in summer can be used directly, and the water temperature in winter will be slightly lost in the pipeline. However, we have secondary heating equipment in the equipment room below to ensure that the heated hot spring water can be used outdoors even in the coldest season in winter."
Lin Wan'er asked in surprise: "There are natural hot springs in Jinling?"
"Yes," Sister Xian nodded and said seriously: "The only hot spring is Tangshan, which is truly natural and healthy. It has moderate sulfur content, high mineral content, and good water quality. At that time, the husband specially brought a pipe over for his wife, but the uppermost courtyard has not been used. The husband and wife are old and only live on the bottom floor every time they come."
Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and said, "I want to go to the room to take a look."
Sister Xian hurriedly said, "Miss Lin, please come here!"
After saying that, she led Lin Wan'er to the door of the three tiled houses.
From a distance, there are three rooms with one height, two low and three rooms, but in fact, the main entrance is the two-story tiled house. The left and right rooms are rooms with inner doors.
After entering the door, you can see that it is actually a very elegant and quaint suite, the first floor of the high-tiled house. It is the central hall of the entrance, and it is also considered a living room. It has an area of about 60 square meters. To the left, it is a pure Chinese study and dining room, and to the right, it is a Western-style bathroom and cloakroom.
The only bedroom is on the second floor of the high tile house. After climbing the pure solid wood stairs, you can see the exquisite internal structure and design of the second floor. All the furniture is made of high-quality Huanghuali wood, and the craftsmanship is particularly exquisite, which hits Lin Wan'er's aesthetics in an instant.
Since the second floor also has an area of more than 60 square meters, this bedroom can be considered surprisingly large. There are two round windows on the south and north sides. On the south side is a couch for reading books, and on the north side is a desk with pens, ink, paper and ink.
Sister Xian introduced to her: "Since it was built, it has been in this state. The gentleman asked us to clean and maintain it every day, with bright windows and no dust. Later, we renovated the hidden air conditioner, fresh air, and a constant humidity system on the roof to ensure that the dust from the outside is as much as possible. It is necessary to prevent excessive humidity from causing mold, hair and odor."
Lin Wan'er asked curiously: "Your husband has put so much effort into building such a villa, why hasn't he lived in it yet?"
"I don't know either." Sister Xian smiled and said, "Mr. I just told me to focus on maintenance here, and I must be there for daily maintenance. As for the others, I have never mentioned it to me."
"Okay." Lin Wan'er nodded thoughtfully, then sighed: "This is really a good place to cultivate one's own character. If possible, I would be willing to live here for twenty years or even longer."
Sister Xian smiled slightly and said respectfully: "Mr. Lin has said that if you like it, you can stay here all the time. As long as you live here, you will be the real master here."
Since Sister Xian is the housekeeper here, Qiu Yingshan did not deliberately act in Lin Wan'er's identity.
When picking up the plane, Sister Xian saw that her husband and wife respect Lin Wan'er very much, and could even be said to be respectful, so Lin Wan'er could never be a relative or even a junior of her husband and wife.
Moreover, she knew best how much the husband attached to the highest courtyard, and why everyone had to let her follow him when they came here, because she didn't want any servant to break the furnishings and layouts here.
But now, he actually generously gave this place to Lin Wan'er to live in. This shows that Lin Wan'er has a great weight in his heart!
At this time, Lin Wan'er asked Sister Xian: "By the way, how many servants are there?"
Sister Xian replied: "There are sixteen aunts who do things, four bodyguards, two drivers, and a total of twenty-two. Including me, there are twenty-three people."
Lin Wan'er asked in surprise: "There are so many aunts?"
"Yes," Sister Xian replied: "There are four aunts responsible for washing and cooking, eight aunts responsible for sanitation and maintenance in various places, and four aunts responsible for gardening. However, some people are more flexible and can be temporarily allocated if they need it."
Lin Wan'er asked again: "Where are these servants coming from?"
Sister Xian said, "All of them are from Malaysia. They were carefully selected from the servants in my family when I came here."
"I understand." Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, and felt a little relieved.
These people are all from Malaysia and have served the Qiu family for many years. They are basically innocent slaves.
Although the nature of a domestic slave no longer exists in the mainland, in Southeast Asia, this tradition is still preserved by the rich.
The ratio of family servants to their own families in Southeast Asia can sometimes reach five to one or even higher.
In order to ensure stability, reliability and reduce the flow of people as much as possible, they often adopt this kind of domestic slavery. They recruit them from the other party to do things when they were teenagers, and they have been retired at home, and then their family will support them in their old age.
Most of the servants who chose family slaves were from poor families and had a family of families who needed to support them, so they sent one of them to the wealthy family to help them.
There are many benefits to being a servant. They eat well, live well, and have a good income. They can almost save money to subsidize their household income. Our family does not need them to have a high education and are proficient in other languages. They only need them to work hard and work diligently.
In Southeast Asia, where the economy is underdeveloped, such a job is something that many families and individuals yearn for.
Therefore, the vast majority of servants also regard family slaves as a lifelong job, and are even willing to give up getting married and having children for this.
The servants who grew up in this environment cherish their work, are loyal to their own family, and do not have much contact with the outside world, and are not easily deviated from bad ideas from the outside world. The safety factor is naturally much higher.
Lin Wan'er likes this place the more she looks at it. She has always been calm and said to Sister Xian with a rare excitement: "I have something I need. I'll make a list later. You can go and buy it for me."
