Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

After returning from Guigui Province, Jiang Zaizhou turned down all business, on the one hand to avoid the limelight, on the other hand, he needed enough time to think about how to run the Miao embroidery studio. In addition, he went to Yugui Garden to harass Yunjixing, and occasionally went to Rose Manor to harass Xi Yizai. However, Jun Wuxia was preparing for pregnancy, so she reduced her work and was often at home. He didn't dare to go over there and scream, fearing that the noise would turn the baby Jun Wuxia was carrying into a grumpy little devil.

Today, he came to Yugui Garden again.

"Sister Shan, is your young master here?" Jiang Zaizhou asked as he followed Sister Shan.

"Mr. Jiang, the young master is not here. He should be back around five in the afternoon. You can sit in the living room first."

"Well, take me to the tea room. It's more fun there."

"Ok."

After bringing Jiang Zaizhou to the tea room, Sister Shan left to do her own thing.

Jiang Zaizhou stood in the middle of the tea room, looking left and right, and finally picked a round chair to sit on. "Oh." He sat on the chair unsteadily, half of his body slipping out, "This stinky star, why is it so ancient? It's so elegant, there's no place to lie on the chair, it's so hard."

The construction and furniture of Yugui Garden are all antique, strictly in accordance with traditional Chinese cultural relics. During the construction, historians were specially invited to serve as consultants. If there were no modern switches, walking in would really make people feel like traveling through time. Jiang Zaizhou didn't like this very much. It was beautiful, but the stools and chairs made him uncomfortable to sit on. He felt that they were not for sitting at all, but for training etiquette.

After lying down for a few minutes, he stood up and walked around, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find something to eat. After searching for a while, he found a box of old-fashioned pastries. "Hey, this is delicious, my favorite."

He stood in front of the cabinet, holding the box in one hand and about to unpack it with the other, when he suddenly remembered that Yunjixing was no longer the only one here, and Yu Ru was also the owner of this place. He could no longer treat this place as his own and do whatever he wanted as he did before. So, he quietly put the cakes back in place, tidied up the ornaments that had just been messed up, and then returned to his original seat.

"It should be okay to have a drink, right?" There were several bottles of drinks on the table. He thought it should be okay to drink a bottle of water, so he took one of the bottles on his own initiative and opened it to drink.

While drinking his drink, he caught a glimpse of a figure moving around, so he immediately put down his drink and turned to look. It turned out to be Ru Youen, who was holding a wooden tray with some delicious-looking side dishes on it. Behind him, there were two aunties, also holding trays in their hands.

He stood up, looked at them, and waited for them to come over. "Ru Youen, Auntie, why are you bringing so many dishes over? Are they for me?"

Ru Youen came to him, put down the tray in his hand, and answered while arranging the dishes: "Yes, Master Jiang, this is prepared for you. If you want to eat anything else, you can contact me at any time and I will help you arrange it."

Jiang Zaizhou looked at the food they brought. He could see that they were all his favorites: chicken wings wrapped in rice, pickled bamboo shoots, green pepper beef skewers, sausage and mushroom platter, taro cake, seasonal vegetable and seaweed rice, garlic pancakes, and three or four different desserts. There were so many that half the table was filled.

"No, thank you. This is too much. I don't even need to eat dinner." Jiang Zaizhou sat back in his seat.

"Okay, Young Master Jiang, you can always come to me if you need anything." Ru Youen said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you."

After the dishes were served, the aunt left, but Ru Youen did not. He walked to a wall, opened the storage cabinet hidden inside, dragged out a lazy sofa and brought it to Jiang Zaizhou, saying: "Master Jiang, this is the sofa that the young master prepared for you. It is your exclusive seat. Do you want to use it now?"

"My special one?" Jiang Zaizhou immediately stood up and walked to the sofa to check. The sofa was covered with ancient patterns, which looked three-dimensional and very unusual. He bent down and touched the sofa, then stood up and asked Ru Youen: "Why did you get one specifically for me?"

"Young Master said that you don't like sitting on wooden furniture. You always feel uncomfortable sitting on the seats when you come here to play, so I specially customized a soft sofa for you. You can move it to any place and sit at will."

"What? Custom-made? I'm so touched." Jiang Zaizhou was slightly surprised, then jumped onto the sofa and lay on it. He turned his head to one side, buried half of his face in the sofa, and took a deep breath. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Ru Youen and asked: "Ru Youen, what is this sofa made of? It's so soft, and why does it smell so good? It's so comfortable, really so soft..."

After asking this question, he rubbed the surface of the sofa with an intoxicated look on his face, pinching it with one hand.

"Master Jiang, the sofa surface is Zhang velvet. The slightly protruding part on the top is the pillow. It is filled with Alashan camel hair, wild kudzu fiber, pearl powder, and twelve specially formulated herbal medicines. It has the effects of beautifying the skin, calming the nerves and helping sleep. The main body is filled with white goose down and some century-old Tieguanyin tea stems."

Jiang Zaizhou suddenly turned around, his expression a little dazed, "Ru Youen, what you said is so high-end, Xiao Xingxing is so extravagant, doing these, I really want to cry..."

Originally Jiang Zaizhou wanted to sit on the sofa to eat, but after Ru Youen's introduction, he couldn't bear to leave for fear of getting it dirty, so he returned to sit on the original armchair.

He sat on the chair, looking at the snacks in front of him, shaking his head and sighing: "Little Star loves me too much, all the snacks I like to eat are prepared, and my preferences are remembered so clearly. He also made a sofa for me. It's so thoughtful. I'm so happy." After sighing, he took out his mobile phone to take pictures. After taking pictures, he started to eat.

Ru Youen hadn't left yet, and was preparing a drink for him. Jiang Zaizhou ate while looking at Ru Youen, "Ru Youen, you are so lucky. It must be great to have a boss like Xiao Xingxing. Does he give you money whenever he wants?"

Ru Youen nodded, "Yes, Master Jiang, Master Jiang gives us subsidies for birthdays, high temperatures, extreme cold, illness, etc."

Jiang Zaizhou clicked his tongue a few times. "If you were really rich, I wouldn't be so generous to give you money. I'm more stingy. I heard him say that your salary is higher than the annual salary of many company presidents, right?"

"This... Master Jiang, I'm not sure about this, but the salary you offered me is indeed very generous."

"You are still modest, you are definitely more modest than those CEOs. Sure, it's true. It's better to come to Yuguiyuan to work than to start a business. There is no risk, pure profit." After thinking for a while, Jiang Zaizhou asked again: "Ru Youen, you have successfully established your career now, so when will you get married? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Ru Youen paused for a moment, then returned to his original natural state and replied with a smile: "Master Jiang, not yet."

"No? Impossible." Jiang Zaizhou smiled teasingly, "I see you're ready to have one even if you don't have one, you're smiling like that. How did you meet? What does she do? How old is she? Teach me the secret, I want to find a girlfriend too."

Ru Youen looked up at him, then lowered his head to continue mixing the drink in his hand. "Master Jiang, you are so well-qualified, you must be very popular, why do you need me to teach you the secret? I was introduced by you, the other party is the owner of a flower farm, doing flower business, he is one year younger than me."

"Oh my god, my little Xingxing can be a matchmaker? This is unbelievable. He didn't even tell me such an interesting thing. This stinky Xingxing, I will ask him about it later."

As they were talking, Yu Ru arrived, still dressed in an ancient style, like an ancient person walking out of a book. She wore an orange-red Song Dynasty-style gown with a pattern of the Chinese character for "Fu" inside, a blue Tianhua brocade-patterned double-breasted long gown outside, side-slit crotch-closed pants and a persimmon-patterned turmeric-colored folded skirt. Sister Shan followed beside her.

Jiang Zaizhou saw her and immediately stood up from his seat to greet her. "Xiaoru, why are you here? Don't worry about me, I can just play by myself."

Yu Ru smiled and nodded.

"Madam." Ru Youen put down the work in his hands and went over to greet her.

Yu Ru nodded and gestured to ask, "Have you finished mixing the drinks?"

"I've finished adjusting, ma'am."

[Then go and take a rest.]

"Okay, thank you ma'am."
