Chapter 332 Little Companions_3
&"Ladies and gentlemen, someone is also looking for you!" Another report came from a server at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Fengqi... "Looking for us sisters? Do we know them?"
&"Could it be our elder brother or someone like that?" a chubby Young Master said.
The server, who had been working here for several years, asked around and actually could provide some information about the guests.
&"Guests from Capital City and Young Masters who study there usually stop by here to have some fun." the server added.
Ye Shiqi... she understood from the server's words that this place was indeed a transport hub. Passing through here was the only way to reach the county, and that was one of the reasons he had opened an estate for entertainment by the roadside.
People wanting to have some fun couldn't resist stopping to enjoy the tourist facilities here.
Moreover, their estate had already made a name for itself, and this summer vacation period was peak tourist season.
Ye Shiqi and her elder sister no longer needed to take someone else's carriage or walk down the mountain; their uncle who had come to take them home had already driven the carriage up the mountain, and the sisters were sitting together in the carriage.
They realized that the two uncles who had cycled up that morning were also strong cyclists.
&"Uncle, don't rush back home for a while. Someone at the estate is looking for us," Ye Shiqi told the driver at the front.
&"Fifth Miss, indeed, when we passed by earlier, we saw a familiar Young Master from Capital City, and he also asked the uncle to come up to inform you," the driver said.
The uncle driving the carriage down the mountain was a bit cautious and didn't turn his head while speaking; the Lady could only hear his voice but couldn't see his old face.
&"Oh, who is looking for us?" Ye Fengqi still hadn't figured out who it might be.
&"Young Master Zhong, the brother of Mrs. Mo," the cheerful driver revealed.
Three years ago in the estate, Bull Power knew that it was that Young Master who had sent the seedlings.
And he also knew about the Medicinal Seedlings, which after trials at the estate, had brought in a high return.
As for how much money was made, it wasn't something that the laborers could probe into. They only knew that besides paying them wages, the boss hadn't lost money. Seeing the boss continue cultivation, they knew there was steady work everyday.
The family was harmonious and making money, something they had not dared to dream of few years ago; the boss had led them to wealth and prosperity over 7-8 years.
As a laborer, he too had reaped benefits—not striking rich, but building a new house, and his son got married, and his daughter received a nice dowry.
Soon, they arrived at the driveway and found that guests were continuously checking into the estate during the evening. Some who had arrived a bit earlier were already settled in.
The sisters alighted from the carriage. Amidst the many carriages, Ye Shiqi did not see Brother Zhong,
The brother of Young Master Tang. He was only a few years older than them, so they couldn't call him uncle.
Ye Fengqi asked one of the busy servers arranging accommodations during this busy evening about it.
The server informed them that Young Master Zhong had already entered his room, possibly tired from a day's carriage travel and needing to rest, or to freshen up, asking them to wait a bit upon their arrival.
Ye Shiqi saw the servant of Zhong Family moving luggage for the Young Master, taking some important items from the carriage into the Young Master's room.
&"Alright, when Young Master Zhong comes out, let him head to the lobby on that side, and don't make us wait too long!"
Ye Shiqi winked playfully, glancing over at Young Master Tang, who was meeting with some older youths.
It seemed they too were here to stay and enjoy the cool summer retreat. She had heard they had just returned from holidays from the academy in Capital City.
The county was such a short distance of just over ten kilometers away; Ye Shiqi, feeling somewhat proud, imagined, "Come on then, come and play to your heart's content, and bring us plenty of cash!"
&"Hehe, nice to see you ladies again!"
Zhong Xingwang, who had grown into a young man over the past five to six years and was still studying at the academy, had already started helping with some family business matters, especially some medicinal herb dealings in cooperation with the Ye family, overseeing personally the herbs they collected.
Ever since he got to know this family, he would vacation here whenever he had free time during the summer.
The family had another residence in the county, but he found that residence too quiet. His elder sister and brother-in-law, along with their children, lived there, and it could not compare to the fun to be had here; therefore, he opted to stay here for a while.
&"Haha, Brother Zhong is here! Please, have a seat."
The sisters happily asked the server to pour Zhong Xingwang some honey tea.
Zhong Xingwang, who had traveled a long distance by carriage, although well-catered with food and drink, was thirsty due to the lengthy and hot journey. Now at dinner time in the evening, he gulped down a cup of tea with a rumbling thirst.
&"Ah, the water here is so refreshingly sweet. It's fantastic!" After finishing a cup, Zhong Xingwang eagerly asked for another.
