Chapter 134: The Private Mansion Has Completely Changed (2)
Fan Hua Town is now breathtakingly gorgeous!
Oops, forgive him an old man who didn’t have much schooling as he couldn’t find any better adjective to describe the present Fan Hua Town.
There were two kinds of trees growing alongside the village roads. The willows were already there, and they had planted another kind of tree called gingko or maidenhair. They said that in autumn, the maidenhair tree’s leaves would turn yellow and flutter around the streets. When the planning craftsmen told him about this, he had only one question in his mind: Who would sweep those leaves?
The planning craftsmen looked at him with complicated eyes then said, “Prince Jing’s mansion has so many maids and servants. What are you worried about?”
Right, Fan Hua Town is now Fan Hua Private Mansion. Except for the locals, the others living in this town were all the maids and servants of Prince Jing’s mansion. Every day, they were so busy in the houses and on the streets. They swept the leaves and pruned the branches. On dry days, they would water the plants and flowers. After the rain, they would be busy cleaning the contaminants in the lake.
Several days ago, the women who didn’t have many things to do came to see the managers of the private mansion. He didn’t know what they had discussed. However, from that day, those women began to work. And strangely, they kept smiling as if they weren’t picking up leaves but money!
Then, he figured out that they earned fifty copper coins every day for their work.
Fifty copper coins a day meant they could earn more than one silver ingot a month. As it was a good job, they must do it proactively. However, more women came and asked for a job. The Chief Manager had to divide them into groups, ten people for each group. They just needed one group for one day and they would rotate every three days. It was how they kept Fan Hua town clean and beautiful, and they could maintain the janitors’ health and the relationship between the villagers.
As for Xiu Feng, the mountains and lake had been renovated into a sight-seeing resort. The area could be used for fishing and barbeque. Every day, two servants would come and sweep the area. Of course, as these places were the common properties of the entire Fan Hua Town, the villagers wouldn’t destroy it deliberately. Even the kids under ten-year-old knew that he had to clean the trash after they were done grilling food.
Fan Hua Town was becoming more and more like a big, beautiful and rich family!
“Town Elder, did Uncle Xin’s family leave yet?” Aunt Tian had just picked up a basket of vegetables from her farm. As she was about to go home, she saw the Town Elder contemplating, so she came and greeted him.
“They did. They left already,” Wang Geng Fa smiled, nodded.
“I heard from the Shui family’s wife that Uncle Xin has asked his people to go to our town many times to ask if someone wants to move out or sell their houses. Well, they told him that even if they wanted to sell the houses here, he wouldn’t have a chance to buy. Anyway, that family hasn’t given up yet.” Aunt Tian remembered the story she had heard these days. She couldn’t help but complain.
“Yeah, they are just jealous because our town is so beautiful now! If they want to be like a leaf falling back to its origin, why did they move out several years ago? Hmph, they see we’re living well and the town’s getting much better. And now they want to return to join our fortune. Psst!” Sun Yu Mao’s wife lived near the road so she had overheard the conversation between the Town Elder and Aunt Tian. She opened her backdoor and stood there and added.
“Oh Family Sun’s, your words are unpleasant! Later on, you shouldn’t babble like that! Didn’t you hear that the Chief Manager told us to improve our awareness?” As Wang Geng Fa heard Sun Yu Mao’s wife babble, he reminded her with a dark and serious face.
“Aiyo, I just slipped my tongue! I got it, I got it. Awareness, right? I can change. But Town Elder, you shouldn’t let the Xin family come here and disturb us. I can see they are shameless. They just deliberately picked up the fruits that grow out of the wall of the house. And, it’s okay that they ate the fruit, but they shouldn’t spit the seeds everywhere! My son had to sweep the street and clean after them.” Missus Sun blushed, changing the topic. Her slippery-tongue couldn’t be fixed in one day. However, her son was taught to be calm and well-mannered. What her son could do, being his mother, how could she not be able to do?
“Yeah, you’re right this time. When they come again, I will talk to them carefully. It’s okay to come and go sight-seeing in our Fan Hua Town, but they must…, ah right, do as the natives do. Right, do as the natives do! The six-year-old kids understand this rule, and those adults need someone to remind them. What a shame!” Wang Geng Fa nodded in agreement. Currently, all the women in the village had become the force of janitors of the private mansion. Even when they weren’t on duty, they always reminded people in their houses and on the streets to keep the village clean. That way, it would make their work a little easier.
“Oh, right, Town Elder, you said that you would invite the theater to entertain the villagers. How’s it going? The hall had been cleaned and prepared a long time ago.” Aunt Tian was about to go home but she couldn’t help asking about her concern.
When the Fan Hua Town’s renovation work was done, in front of everybody, the Chief Manager said that Prince Jing’s mansion decided to invite a theater to celebrate the Fan Hua Private Mansion’s completion and also to thank the villagers for their support.
“Already invited. Do you think the Chief Manager was only just talking? They’ve invited a theater from the imperial city. They’ll arrive on the first day of the eighth lunar month and will perform twice a day until the fifteenth.” Wang Geng Fa laughed.
“Really? They will perform for half a month? Haha! It’s so good. I’m going to invite my mother’s family to stay here for several days.”
“Right, right, it’s a rare chance. I also want to invite my mother’s family to visit me for several days.”
Aunt Tian and Sun poniang were so happy when they heard the good news. All hurried to get back home.
Right, it was a rare, excellent chance. Previously, they had to run to the other towns around to watch and satisfy their desire. But now, their own town had the theater come and perform. What’s more, they were from the imperial city and will be performing for half a month! Tch, tch, life in Fan Hua Town was really full of happiness!
