Chapter 43 Qianqian? Qianyuan!
After using breakfast and packing it up, Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner took a carriage to see the new house.
Qian had other things to do, so he sent his mother Yang around him to accompany the two of them.
After arriving at the place, Xiao Fan realized that the small courtyard that his mother said was not small at all, and he saw the long courtyard wall from a distance.
The villa is located in a higher terrain on the edge of West Lake, less than a mile from the lake.
There is also a simple wooden trestle on the lake not far away, with several small black-sailed boats and a larger painting boat moored beside it.
"Official, we're here," Jia San parked the carriage, put down the bench, and called everyone to get out of the car.
Xiao Fan helped Zhao Paner get off the car with everyone. Looking around, a tall lintel appeared in front of him.
On both sides of the gate are two large stone lions, and the plaque on the gate contains four big characters from West Lake Villa.
An old man in his fifties came forward with two servants at the door: "Master, old slave Yuan Fu, was the manager of this other courtyard before, and had been waiting here for a long time, so let's take you to check it out."
"If you have time, please lead the way." Xiao Fan did not comment.
Now these slaves in the villa were sent here to do daily maintenance. After selling the villa half and giving it to Xiao Fan, most of the slaves here also gave it to him.
But this manager seems to be a little confused about the situation. What does it have to do with you when the Qianwang Mansion is honored? What's the point of being a slave? What's more, you are my servant now.
Xiao Fan followed Yuan Fu to take a rough look, then went to the main hall.
The entire villa covers an area of more than 30 acres, which is approximately the size of three football fields.
Because it was a villa, it was mainly used to relax and temporarily live in, so compared with normal gardens, the trees and water systems in this villa are larger than those of normal gardens.
Especially the main residential area is surrounded by water systems on three sides, connected by corridors and bridges. The main entrance passes through the sedan hall, the front yard and then directly to the main hall, which generally looks like a peninsula.
"How is it, do you like it?" Xiao Fan asked with his arms around Zhao Paner.
Zhao Paner happily snuggled in his arms.
"I never dreamed that I could not like such a big house."
"Well, this other courtyard is really good. You see, what else is missing, we will buy it all. After a few days, all the family members will come here, and we will move here. From now on, all the affairs of the house will be handed over to Pan'er."
"Okay, I must manage our family in an orderly manner. As for what to buy?" Zhao Paner didn't remember what he needed for a moment: "Let's talk about it when we move here."
"Officials, let's set up a swing!" Jia Quan said excitedly.
When Xiao Fan heard this, he directly contemptuously said, "How old is he? Still playing on a swing?"
"Yes, we can set up a swing. I have envied other people's children who have swings since I was a child." Zhao Paner looked at Xiao Fan happily.
"Pan'er, you are really childlike. I like it very much. Then let's set up a swing and set up a few if you want." Xiao Fan immediately changed his words, and then waved his hands proudly.
Facing Xiao Fan's large-scale double-standard scene, Jia Quan couldn't help but curl his lips and looked at Xiao Fan depressedly.
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Fan felt that he was a bit double-standard, but he still said with a stern face: "What? Do you have any objections?"
"No, I'm just happy to see the official and Sister Pan'er so loving." As he said that, he grinned and tried hard to put on a happy smile.
Xiao Fan touched his dog's head and said nothing, but asked Zhao Paner.
"Pan'er, I want to change the name of our garden. What do you think is the name?"
"Listen to your Fanlang, you will be called whatever you say."
Xiao Fan slapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, that's called Panyuan."
Zhao Paner's face turned red: "This is not very good."
"What's wrong with it? It's perfect for our own home to use my wife's name. I just want everyone to know your position in my heart. That's it."
Seeing Xiao Fan's attitude of never changing, Zhao Pan'er had to settle for the second best and said, "Why not call it Qianyuan? It can be regarded as using my name. When I was a child, my mother said that Pan'er's name meant that she didn't like it, so she gave me a nickname called Qianxi."
"Qianqian? A clever smile, beautiful eyes, good name."
Zhao Paner knew that he had misunderstood and corrected: "It's not the word Qian, but the acacia from Madhya."
"Xixi, with a distinctive appearance, is as famous as her name. As the saying goes, 'The night moon shines on it, Xixi makes smoke by herself', well, this sounds nice. Okay, here will be called Xiyuan from now on." Xiao Fan immediately shook his head and praised it.
Jia Quan stood by and saw all this and whispered: "I'm afraid that Sister Pan'er said nothing, you said you're OK with him."
"What are you muttering about?"
"Nothing, I say that officials are very optimistic!"
At this moment, Yuan Fu walked in from outside and bowed respectfully to Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner.
"Master, Miss Mother, the food is ready. They are all cooked by the chef of Qianwang Mansion before. When will the meal be served?"
"Oh? The meal is ready? Then come on now." Xiao Fan said casually.
"Yes." Yuan Fu responded, bowed respectfully, and then shook the bell in his hand twice.
The maid outside the door heard the ringtone and brought the prepared food into the table.
After the dishes were served, Yuan Fu stepped forward to introduce Xiao Fan one by one: "Master, these are carefully prepared by the chefs in the mansion, including lychee waist, carp sashimi, wine-steamed anchovies, perilla shrimp, wine-fried clams, crab-stewed oranges, wine-roasted cloves..."
Xiao Fan didn't like to disturb him when he was eating and interrupted him directly: "Okay, you go down first, you don't need to take care of him here."
"Okay, I'll wait outside first. Please give me any instructions if you have any questions." After Yuan Fu said that, he retreated respectfully.
"It's so good. There are so many delicious foods. I'll try the skills of the chefs in the royal palace. There are also Kuhuangdu, my favorite food." Jia Quan was very excited and immediately grabbed a piece and put it into his mouth, but his brows frowned.
"What's wrong? It's not delicious?" Zhao Paner asked with some surprise.
"No, Sister Pan'er, I just feel weird." Jia Quan put down the soft yellow du and began to taste other dishes.
Xiao Fan also picked up a piece and tasted it: "Well, the taro is a bit old and has a strong smell. It seems that the chef of the royal palace is not very good, and it is not as delicious as Sanniang made."
"I'll try it," Zhao Paner also picked up a piece and tasted it carefully: "Well, it's not bad, but it's not delicious either."
After tasting all the dishes, everyone was disappointed. They thought that the dishes cooked by the chef in the royal palace should be much better than those in the restaurants outside, but the result was that way.
They are all as Zhao Paner said, not bad, but not delicious. Although they were just a different courtyard before, they were too inaccurate, and there must be something tricky about it.
