Female-to-male: I live on farming

As you enter the mansion, you will see a stone screen wall. Walking around the screen wall you will reach the front hall, which has been converted into a reception area. It is modeled after the bathhouse halls in Northeast China in the past. There is no extra furniture except the counter, and only a few sets of coffee tables and chairs on the side for guests to rest while waiting.

After the lobby is the formal business location, with red beams, green tiles, flying eaves and brackets.

The inside was divided into a courtyard for male guests and a courtyard for female guests. The female guests were naturally led inside by the female housekeeper. Qin Ke watched them go to the female guest area before turning around and going to the male guest reception area.

He actually considered building a family courtyard specifically for accommodating the whole family, but the construction period was tight and there was still vacant land at the back, so he could wait until the second phase of the project to build it.

Lu Youqing took Cui Yuanyuan and Li Nanqiao and followed the maid to the bathhouse. Deep in the bathhouse were several independent courtyards of different sizes, which were equipped with indoor and open-air baths. Each courtyard had its own elegant name.

There are bathing pools of different sizes in each courtyard. Now, steam is rising from them and misty fog covers the entire room.

As soon as Lu Youqing entered, she felt the heat coming towards her. Although it was freezing cold outside, the temperature inside seemed to be as warm as early summer. After a while, she felt her hands and feet warm up.

Before taking a bath, they need to clean their bodies. They each went to the bathroom to clean themselves before entering the bathing room wrapped in bathrobes.

Lu Youqing simply tied her long hair behind her head. When she stepped into the bathtub, Li Nanqiao was already soaking in it. Her face was flushed by the hot water. When she saw Lu Youqing, she waved and called out, "Madam, here!"

Lu Youqing raised her foot and walked towards her. She first stretched out her toes to test the temperature of the water before walking in cautiously.

Although the bath is deep, there are steps and handrails on the side.

Just as she immersed her whole body in the hot water, Cui Yuanyuan came in hurriedly. When she saw the two of them, she walked straight into the bathtub and sighed with contentment.

I feel like I'm being soaked in hot water, and my whole body is relaxed and lazy.

They had just been soaking for a while when a maid came over with a small plate and placed it on the edge of the bathtub, saying softly, "Madam Qin, this is the tea and snacks that Mr. Qin sent."

Looking at the exquisite snacks on the plate, Cui Yuanyuan picked up a piece, tasted it and said, "How thoughtful!"

After saying that, he turned to Li Nanqiao and asked, "Are all the men in your place so considerate?"

Li Nanqiao shook his head.

"Then Sister Lu, how did you and Mr. Qin know each other?" Cui Yuanyuan, who had a rare break from her busy schoolwork, became curious.

Lu Youqing was stunned when she heard this. Thinking of her absurd encounter with Qin Ke, it felt like a long time had passed, as if it was a lifetime ago.

"…It was also a coincidence."

Cui Yuanyuan saw that she didn't want to talk more, so she tactfully stopped asking and changed the subject: "I just saw in the hall that the VIP seat full ticket price here is 50 taels. It's all thanks to Sister Lu, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to spend it."

"My husband said that this place is very expensive, especially the daily supply of charcoal, which is a considerable expense, so the ticket price is a bit more expensive."

Li Nanqiao thought of the courtyard he had just passed by and asked curiously, "Madam, is there a Cuju court here?"

She had lived in the village since she was a child. She had only heard of the sport of Cuju but had never seen it, so she was very curious.

"Yes, that is also a service provided to the guests. Guests who come here can choose to play a game of football, stretch their muscles, and then take a bath inside." Although Lu Youqing has never been here, she has seen Qin Ke's design drawings, and every time Qin Ke goes back, he will talk about the progress of the construction project inside.

Maybe Li Nanqiao didn't understand it very well, but Lu Youqing grew up receiving education from an aristocratic family, and Cuju and polo were also things that the ladies of aristocratic families needed to learn.

Cuju is also a social activity for them.

Worried that they would suffer from oxygen deprivation if they soaked for too long, they left the bath for a short time. After they left, a special maid came over to wipe their hair with a clean towel.

After wiping it until it is half dry, you can also enjoy a special massage.

The massage staff all have professional skills. They have been carefully trained by doctors and despite the tight time schedule, their techniques are quite sophisticated.

With both strength and skill, Li Nanqiao felt that lying on the bed and enjoying the massage from the maid was an extreme enjoyment. The stiff muscles and bones in his body seemed to be relieved and gradually relaxed, and every joint and muscle began to stretch.

Lu Youqing felt a little drowsy after the massage. He had been getting up before dawn and going to bed at 11 p.m. recently. He had been sleep deprived and his nerves were tense. Now that he had relaxed, he wanted to take a nap.

But she was thinking about Nan Qiao and the other two. They had just been talking about wanting to go and see what mahjong was. They had never heard of it before and were both very curious.

After the massage, it was almost noon. Food and drink were provided in the Yao Chi Fairy Bath. For those who bought VIP tickets, all the food, drinks and entertainment were included.

When they heard the maid coming to tell them that Qin Ke was already waiting for them in the cafeteria, they did not delay and immediately followed the maid to the cafeteria.

The meals in the cafeteria are prepared by the chefs from Caiyue Building, so their cooking skills are naturally impeccable.

Qin Ke began to think about getting some hot pot, but the base of the hot pot was a problem, and he would have to wait until he returned to Qinghe Village to see the growth of the tomatoes and peppers.

Pei Xiu had also written to him recently, which was sent together with a memorial to Gu Lanxi, reporting to him on the progress of the greenhouse.

If all goes well, we will have three options of hotpot base: tomato hotpot base, spicy hotpot base and mushroom soup hotpot base. It will be the ultimate enjoyment to be able to sit in a warm room and eat hotpot together in winter.

After enjoying lunch, Qin Ke took them to the greenhouse, which has the effect of dispelling cold, warming the body and activating blood circulation. They can read books, play chess, play mahjong, Pai Gow or any other entertainment activities in it.

Since mahjong is a new activity, an instruction manual was posted for guests to learn.

"It's actually very simple. We can try it a round and then we'll be able to do it." Qin Ke saw that Li Nanqiao still didn't quite understand, so he was not in a hurry to explain.

You can get the hang of this thing after just a couple of plays. The maids there have also been trained, so they can provide help if anyone doesn't understand.

Qin Ke led a few of them to play a round. The first two rounds were fine as everyone was familiar with the rules of the game. However, as they played, Qin Ke discovered something was wrong.
