Chapter 181 Leisurely Living in the Inner Courtyard
·
Yun Qi Qi
Youranju is closed during the Chinese New Year, but it will be open on the sixth day of the lunar month.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Youranju is not open to the public, but some regular customers have already booked private rooms.
Shen Lu brought Lu Xingye over, and Pang Luzhi was still very busy, because most of the guests here today were distinguished guests, and Pang Luzhi, the proprietress, could also cook the dishes herself.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper is very smart and discerning.
Even if guests like Shen Lu and Lu Xingye came only once, he would remember them deeply.
I also know that Shen Lu is a junior in Boss Pang’s family and has a lot of connections.
"Miss Shen is here. The landlady is in the kitchen. If you want to find her, I will take you there now."
Shen Lu didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so enthusiastic: "No, since Aunt Lu is busy, let's go for a walk by ourselves first."
The shopkeeper hesitated: "It's cold in the yard. If you two want to have a meal, I can open a private room for you that is not usually open to the public."
"No need, I think the scenery in Youranju is pretty good. Spring is about to come and the flowers are blooming. Let's enjoy the scenery."
"However, when we are not busy anymore, please cook us some dishes."
Shen Lu has said this, so the shopkeeper can only follow her.
This girl also looks like she has some talent.
She shouldn't be going to bump into those noble people in the box, right?
After Shen Lu finished speaking, he nodded to the shopkeeper and led Lu Xingye down another path.
They crossed the flowing water bridge and went to the other side.
The shopkeeper didn't care. There were many people who wanted to see the yard, but the yard was locked with a big iron lock.
Guests can't enter at all, and it's not open to the public.
When they find they can't get in, they'll go back.
Just when the shopkeeper thought that Shen Lu and Lu Xingye would also hit the south wall and turned back, he saw Shen Lu take out a key and open the big iron lock.
The shopkeeper's pupils dilated: "How...how is this possible?"
He had heard from his boss that they could only use the front yard of Youranju. Even if the scenery at the back was better, it was still a private residence.
If someone is willing to rent out the front yard, it’s already pretty good.
There are bedrooms in the backyard, which are not open to the public.
But now, this Miss Shen actually has the key.
Did the boss give her the key, or...
His eyelids twitched, and he already had another guess in his mind.
Could it be that Shen Lu is the owner of this leisurely residence.
Is that why she has the key to Youranju?
Shen Lu didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking, let alone that the shopkeeper was still staring at her and Lu Xingye at this time.
After opening the big iron lock, Shen Lu invited Lu Xingye: "I haven't seen it yet. This is the yard the old lady gave me."
"I heard that she lived in Youran for a period of time when she was young. Youran Residence can also be regarded as her dowry house."
Shen Lu was very curious about Youranju. It looked like the residence of a wealthy family in the past.
The mansion has a deep courtyard with winding paths. There are many hydrangeas planted in the front yard, and there is a large pond in the backyard, which should be planted with water lilies.
Someone helped take care of it, so the yard didn't look dirty, and even the weeds were removed.
Shen Lu opened a room at random. The furnishings inside were all antiques.
Huanghuali wood can be seen everywhere in this house.
Not to mention how much such a big house is worth, but the decorations and furniture in it are all worth a lot of money.
The Shen family does have a deep foundation.
This gave Shen Lu a new understanding of the Shen family's wealth.
Lu Xingye was also a little surprised.
This old-fashioned house has been well maintained.
If Shen Lu wants to live here, he just needs to have it cleaned and buy some ordinary daily necessities and daily necessities.
There is even a bedroom with a bed made of golden nanmu!
Shen Lu also saw it.
Not to mention every step in the house, the furnishings in each room are valuable.
Shen Lu saw that there were pearls randomly thrown around in the drawer of the master bedroom. One pearl like this was worth tens of thousands.
But here, it seems like it's just a toy that a child is tired of playing with.
Shen Lu thought that if she treated this place as a treasure hunt, she should be able to find a lot of valuable things.
"This pearl has appeared in foreign auctions before." Lu Xingye knew the value of this thing better than Shen Lu.
"At that time, a wealthy Chinese businessman bought it for 12 yuan, saying it was a dowry for his daughter."
"Could it be that that wealthy businessman is your great-grandfather?"
Miss Shen Qi's father was a wealthy businessman at that time.
Others think he is just a rich man, but he has considerable wealth at home and abroad.
However, the Shen family is too low-key and has been forgotten over the years.
Even Shen Mingguang, the Shen family who came out of nowhere, can become one of the four wealthy families in Jade City.
The Shen family was extremely wealthy and their contributions in that era were also outstanding.
Perhaps it was after the war that the Shen family decided to become invisible rich.
"That might be."
Shen Lu listened to the conversation between Mr. Lu and his old lady and heard some of it.
Back then, Mrs. Shen was the only daughter of the Shen family, and her dowry was comparable to that of a princess in ancient times.
The master of the Shen family originally prepared a dowry for his daughter according to the specifications of a princess.
"Look, my grandma's toys are all treasures."
Whether it is a pearl or a brooch, if it is released, it will be snapped up by today's famous ladies.
On the other side, when the shopkeeper saw Shen Lu opening the iron door, he hurried to report it to the boss.
Pang Luzhi was very happy when she learned that Shen Lu was coming: "I'm almost busy here. Prepare a table and I'll eat with them later."
"Why don't you take the child to a private room? It's cold outside."
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "It's not that I didn't lead him, it was Miss Shen who took Mr. Lu to the inner courtyard."
"Miss Shen has the key to the inner courtyard. Did you give it to her?"
If not, then you need to call someone out quickly.
I heard that everything in the inner courtyard is valuable and most people are not allowed to enter.
Even the cleaning people are absolutely trustworthy by the Pang family, otherwise they would not be allowed to go.
If something inside is damaged, most people cannot afford compensation.
When Pang Luzhi heard that Shen Lu had gone to the inner courtyard, he was not in a hurry.
"It doesn't matter, it's her own yard, she can go wherever she wants."
Pang Luzhi's words contain a lot of information.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he thought: It is indeed so.
He had already suspected this, so he wasn't very surprised.
"Did she say she wanted to move back to Youran?"
In fact, something happened in Youranju recently, and she hadn't had time to tell Aunt Shen Qi.
If I told him, Aunt Shen Qi might not be very happy.
"This is not."
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"Maybe Miss Shen just wants to take a look."
Pang Luzhi nodded: "Just go and watch, don't worry about what they are doing inside."
"I'll cook a few more dishes later."
In addition, some guests found that the iron gate over there was open and hurriedly walked over, wanting to step into the inner courtyard.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Youranju is not open to the public, but some regular customers have already booked private rooms.
