Chapter 103 The Nouveau Riche Atmosphere of the Manor
Chapter 103 The Nouveau Riche Atmosphere of the Manor
"Hey, Sister En, are you off this weekend?"
On his way to the manor, Xuan Mingtian dialed Jun Sha'en's number and asked her questions.
She had already returned to work in Evergreen City on Thursday, while Grandma Mustard and the others were still in Rainbow City because she and Professor Oak were still doing academic research at Rainbow University, which prevented Ran and Hanako from coming back.
"Xiao Tian, I have to work overtime this weekend because I have a lot of things to take care of. I'll go back to the manor after get off work."
Not only could you hear Jun Sha'en's voice on the phone, but you could also hear the constant clicking of keyboards, showing just how busy she was.
"Okay, then come back soon. We'll have dinner together tonight. I won't bother you any longer." After saying that, Xuan Mingtian hung up the phone.
"Brother Tian, you could ask Sister En to quit her job and help you manage the profit sharing and such, that way you'd have more free time," Yang Bin joked with interest.
“Her goal is the bureau chief position, so we can only let her have it,” Xuan Mingtian said with a shrug.
After listening intently, Bai Ying whispered to Chen Qianqian beside her, "Qianqian, who is this Sister En they're talking about?"
"Yingying, this Sister En is Brother Tian's fiancée, and she's more than ten years older than him." Chen Qianqian whispered back about this little secret of hers.
"what!"
Upon receiving the message, Bai Ying's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise, drawing the attention of everyone in the car.
"What are you looking at? We're whispering to each other."
After realizing what was happening, Bai Ying scolded the four people who were looking at her with amusement before continuing to talk about Qianqian.
"Is this really okay? He's more than ten years older than me. Did his parents agree?"
"He agreed. For Brother Tian, being more than ten years older is no problem. Let me tell you, he's also fallen for Aunt Hua Zi, who has even had children and is still married."
Chen Qianqian dropped the bombshell, and at the same time, Bai Ying stared blankly ahead. She never imagined that a child her own age would be attracted to a married woman.
This is simply an incredible story.
However, what they didn't know was that this problem was controlled by an invisible hand, and it was also what people from all realms hoped for.
……
After nearly twenty minutes of driving, the van finally arrived at the manor gate. Looking around, it was as luxurious and extravagant as ever, except the sign at the entrance had been changed to: Xuan Family Manor.
As the electric gate opened, 13 people stood neatly arranged on both sides of the gate.
Xuan Mingtian, who was inside the car, looked completely bewildered and turned to ask, "Uncle Xiao, what's going on? Why are there so many people?"
"Uh, Xiao Tian, have you forgotten? You were the one who asked Xi Yue to recruit people from the orphanage. Have you forgotten?" Uncle Xiao still answered Xuan Mingtian's question about personnel.
"Ah, I almost forgot, um, Yuzuki did a good job."
Xuan Mingtian chuckled and quickly covered up his embarrassment, but the others in the car had already seen his awkward expression.
A short while later, the group got out of the car.
"Greetings, young master. Greetings, ladies and gentlemen."
A series of orderly voices rang out, and the six little ones felt lightheaded, gradually exuding an air of swagger. Even Chen Qianqian had never experienced such a large reception at home.
"Yes, very good. Qiuyue, you've done a great job. I'm very satisfied with this atmosphere. Let's go in and talk." Xuan Mingtian said as he walked up to Qiuyue.
After exiting the parking garage, a white jade path comes into view. After walking for a few minutes, an artificial lake comes into view. Several artificial hills surround the lake, and there are many valuable ornamental fish such as koi and arowana in the lake.
Several willow trees swayed in the wind along the shore. Continuing onward, we came to a fork in the road. To the left was a viewing pavilion by the small lake, and to the right was the training arena for the Pokémon.
The middle section leads to the luxury villa. After walking a dozen steps, you'll see two welcoming pine trees, symbolizing the arrival of guests.
In no time, the group arrived at the villa, which covered an area of 4000 square meters. It was constructed using various top-tier luxury materials, with the main gate made of expensive rosewood.
Upon entering the villa, the floors were uniformly covered with carpets made of Mare's wool. The lighting fixtures were made of sterling silver, and the lampshades were crafted from pure crystal.
Its luxurious and extravagant atmosphere was overwhelming. Perhaps because I was in a hurry both times, I didn't pay attention to the decorations inside the house.
The six little figures were all dumbfounded.
"Brother Tian, I didn't realize how beautiful it was until I came twice. It's several times more luxurious than my house. But the decorations look a bit like something a nouveau riche would wear," Chen Qianqian said honestly.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mingtian immediately realized that what she said made sense. This was practically the standard decoration of a nouveau riche in his previous life—gold, silver, crystal, top-quality leather sofas, and so on, all exuding an air of extravagance.
Now that you mention it, I kind of agree, but there's no need to renovate again. This is just our place of residence, it's fine.
Seeing Xuan Mingtian's opinion, Xiao Gang, Yang Bin, and Chen Qianqian agreed. After all, they were a group and couldn't stay in Changqing City forever. Besides, the manor was just spoils of war and was ultimately insignificant.
Uncle Xiao, on the other hand, was much calmer. After all, he had been working as a butler for 20 years. Moreover, he had been coming over frequently in recent days, so he was not intimidated by the nouveau riche's air.
"Uncle Xiao, take them to choose rooms and settle the little ones and the elf eggs in. I have something to ask Qiuyue."
"Okay, Xiao Tian."
His concise yet earnest words demonstrated his responsibility as a professional housekeeper.
Afterwards, Qiuyue led the 12 people and Xuanmingtian to the basement.
"boom"
Shortly after entering the basement, a Poké Ball at my waist opened without warning.
"Ugh, I'm so suffocated! Xiaotian, you can't put me in a Poké Ball again next time. There are no other Pokémon in there except for the big ones. It's not fun at all."
A cute little girl with a wind chime-like appearance spoke up.
"Okay, okay, I'm just busy this time, so you'll have to make do. I still have work to do later."
After finishing his conversation with the little cutie, Xuan Mingtian continued, "Please introduce yourselves."
"Young Master, my name is Zishu."
"Young master, my name is Ugly Ox."
"Young Master, my name is Yin Hu."
"~, ~ Rabbit (卯兔)"
"~, ~Chenlong"
"~, ~Snake"
"~, ~ noon horse"
"~, ~Sheep"
"~, ~Shenhou"
"~, ~ Rooster"
"Young Master, my name is Xu Gou."
"Young Master, my name is Hai Zhu."
Upon hearing the names announced by the crowd, Xuan Mingtian was puzzled. These were all combinations of the twelve zodiac animals and the earthly branches. Although these subjects existed in this world, they couldn't all be given names like these.
