"Since Young Master Huo says so, I am relieved. However, my Wen’er has not yet woken up....."
Huo Yuan said, "Auntie need not worry, I am going to send someone to bring the best physician to see Wen’er."
With this, he knocked on the carriage wall, and a little boy who had been riding a horse beside the carriage, upon hearing the knock, hurried over and asked, "What does the Young Master command?"
Huo Yuan said, "Take my letter, go to the Imperial Medical Institute and ask Master Yao Yuanpan to come over, and request him to Bishui Villa!"
Bishui Villa is a private estate of Huo Yuan outside Huo Mansion. The scenery is extremely beautiful. It was originally the private residence of Princess Bao Ling, the eldest princess of the Jin dynasty. After the death of Princess Bao Ling, her son-in-law sold the house because he didn’t want to kindle painful reminiscences. At that time, Huo Yuan bought it for more than two million taels of silver, and after the purchase, he renovated it. The villa is even more beautiful than the royal gardens by a margin. However, Huo Yuan rarely stays in the capital, and even when he is in the capital, he is mostly called back to the mansion by the old madam. Therefore, that splendid villa has been empty and he stays there for only ten or eight days in a year, which is already considered a lot.
On hearing this, Sui Xi was taken aback!
The young master intended to invite the Mu family to stay at Bishui Villa. The villa was sumptuous and seemed like a paradise on earth. Even a few concubines in the mansion were not allowed to stay for a few days. To his surprise, the Mu family was easily allowed to reside there. It seems that, the young master truly had Miss Mu at his heart. Even though she had passed away, his affection for her remained unchanged!
Although Lady Du had been in the house, she had also heard about the infamous ’miracle worker’, ’equal to Hua Tuo’ – Yao Yuanpan, who was the Chief Imperial Physician of the Jin Nation and treated the Emperor and Noble Concubine Jin, charging a fee of five hundred taels of silver for a consultation. Young Master Huo commanded without batting an eye. Now, Lady Du was relieved, and deep gratitude filled her heart...
Although Bishui Villa is known as a villa, it is actually a large mansion located at the heart of the capital. It is named for its mountains and water features. The mountains are artificial mounts and the water is an artificial lake. Huo Yuan has an extravagant amount of money and therefore, has created an artificial mount that is as grand and majestic as a natural mountain, with a lake that is as clear and deep as the natural lakes. The villa is filled with many rare plants and has elegant pavilion buildings. Even the neighboring mansion, Duke Li Guo’s residence, pales in comparison to this villa, in terms of its scenic beauty!
Upon arriving at Bishui Villa, the carriage stopped. The Major Steward of the villa, who had been notified earlier, came out leading the stewards of all the rooms to welcome them. As soon as they saw Huo Yuan alight from the carriage, they all bowed their heads in respect.
"Our respects to the Young Master!"
"Enough, all of you rise. Come and meet your new master!"
Huo Yuan drew back the carriage curtain, lifting Wu’er out of the carriage, and Lady Du, holding Wen’er, descended from the carriage.
At the same time, with the help of Zhao Yun and Huan Qiu, Cai Fei also got off the carriage. As soon as she saw the magnificent mansion in front of her, she felt as though she were in a dreamland. From behind the heavy wall, she could see the towering halls and magnificent buildings inside, along with lush trees and rugged stones. It was incredibly spectacular!
Although Duke An’s mansion was also well-built, it was like comparing chalk and cheese when compared to this mansion. There was no comparison at all.
"Our respects to Madam and young master!"
The Major Steward, leading the stewards, bowed again, startling Lady Du. She hastily moved aside and said to Huo Yuan, "Young Master Huo, what is this about?"
