Chapter 147: Secret Investigation Becomes Open Investigation
When An Ba came back, he heard that Master Bai was coming. He thought it was a good opportunity to let Master Bai taste these fresh fruits, so he went over to show his courtesy.
Chu Yan was discussing his brother's affairs with Bai Ningchuan when he heard An San say that An Ba was back.
Chu Yan said without any expression:
"Let him in."
An Ba came in very excitedly, his voice even raised a degree,
"Master, Master Bai."
"What is this you have?"
Bai Ningchuan watched An Ba come in with two large food boxes, with a hint of cool air coming out from the food boxes.
An Ba handed one of the food boxes to An San, and he took the other and placed it on the table between Bai Ningchuan and Chu Yan.
Then slowly open the lid.
A cool breeze blows over my face.
"This is the fruit that Mr. Qian asked me to bring to the master.
Everything in this box is washed clean and can be eaten directly. The box is surrounded by ice, so it stays fresh.
Mr. Qian said that if you put it in a clean, cool place, it can be stored for a longer period of time.
The other box was not cleaned, and Mr. Qian said it could be given as a gift.
Because there is ice in that box, it can be stored for a longer time.”
An Ba continued with a smile,
"Oh, Master Qian also said that his lunch box is specially made and is filled with ice.
It is best used to store food in summer, it is refreshing and heat-relieving.
And he told me how to make it, it was very simple.”
"Hehe," Anba said with a silly grin.
Bai Ningchuan looked at An Ba, who had Young Master Qian on his left and Young Master Qian on his right, as if he had been brainwashed, and silently glanced at Chu Yan.
"Why did you come back so soon? Didn't I ask you to see if there was anything you could help with?"
Chu Yan originally wanted An Ba to find out if there was any hidden secret in this villa.
Given his suspicion of Qian Duoduo, he didn't believe that Qian Duoduo built such a large villa just to make money.
And if this villa is managed well in the future, she can weave a big network,
Once she has something in mind, we are all food on this web and no one can escape.
"Master, I have completed half of the task you assigned me. I will do the other half tomorrow."
An Ba's expression suddenly became serious. He certainly knew the real purpose of Chu Yan leaving him there.
"Half?" Bai Ningchuan asked curiously.
So An Ba recounted in detail what happened after Chu Yan left.
It turned out that Qian Duoduo felt that Chu Yan had spent so much money and was going to bring people over, and felt that he had not entertained him well today.
It just so happens that I have been a little tired during this period.
So, after Chu Yan left, Qian Duoduo asked Chun Xia to take An Ba for a walk.
He also asked for some detailed introductions one by one to make it easier for An Ba to report back to his master.
Therefore, Qian Duoduo specially arranged Chunxia to be the guide.
Each area has a dedicated person in charge, of course, capable people like Spring, Summer and Autumn,
Qian Duoduo doesn't want them to be just ordinary maids in the future.
After all, they have received modern higher education, so the idea of gender equality is engraved in their bones.
I am a girl myself,
Therefore,
She hopes that in this male-dominated society,
They have more abilities, more cognition, and more thoughts to break certain cognitions.
Of course, she is not stupid enough to talk about feminism in this society.
She just hopes that all the women she knows can live with more confidence, independence and insight.
Although one's own strength cannot change anything, even a small amount of strength can produce a butterfly effect.
So, here, Qian Duoduo also gave Chunxia, Qiudong some rights and made them familiar with everything here.
Of course, they are mainly responsible for clerical work, such as writing, reporting issues and so on.
At first, everyone felt uncomfortable listening to women, especially some people who came to work.
I feel that they are just maids around the young master, and some of them are bullying others by taking advantage of their power.
But the two of them proved to them with their strength that except for physical labor, they were not inferior in terms of thinking.
Especially when I found out that they can read and do math, I admire them even more.
Because in this era, scholars are very rare and precious.
Not to mention women, even men are rarely literate, so they think,
If they were men, they could all take the imperial examination. I admire their intelligence and talent very much.
The abilities of Chunxia and Qiudong were also exercised here.
But Layue. Due to personal reasons, she still did not take this step.
Spring and summer are the safest, introducing every place you visit in detail without any emotion.
An Ba looked at the situation which was different from what he had imagined, and asked casually as he walked:
"Is there any secret passage or place where we can hide people in this villa? Or the so-called restricted area?"
Chunxia gave Anba a strange look.
Anba said jokingly:
"I'm just curious. With a villa this big, we will definitely come into contact with many people in the future. If something happens in the future, we can escape at any time, right?"
"Shut your crow mouth." Chunxia said angrily.
"Hey, that's not what I meant. We're just chatting. I'm just curious."
Chunxia took a deep breath and thought about what her master had told her.
You must tell Mr. Chu everything you know, so that there will be better development of cooperation in the future.
After calming down, he said calmly:
“The master told us that each of us is responsible for our own area and is not allowed to move around at will.
Each of us has a badge that records our identity information in detail.
And specifically emphasized that hunting areas are the most dangerous among the dangerous ones.
Because some real wild animals may be released inside at any time, and we are afraid that they may accidentally hurt people.
We also have eight cellars, two in each area. It's a lot of space, but it's just for food at the moment.
The restricted area is, of course, a place where the masters handle matters. Can everyone be allowed to enter?
Is your master's study open to everyone?"
An Ba swallowed, scratched his head, and chuckled, trying to demonstrate his embarrassment and purpose.
Chunxia pretended not to notice that he was asking about things. There was no secret anyway, so she just let him ask.
Then along the way, no matter how strange the questions he asked, no matter how speechless Chunxia was, she would tell him the truth in the end.

An Ba continued:
"I really talked about everything. Sometimes I just asked a question and Chunxia would elaborate on it. But..."
"But it feels like this isn't something a maid would say, right?" Chu Yan asked.
"Yes, that's right. Everything is said to be good, but it also seems too good." An Ba nodded quickly.
"Did she prepare this fruit in front of you?" Bai Ningchuan asked.
“No, the fruit will be ready when we come back.
Mr. Qian even disliked my dirty hands and asked me to wash them before bringing them back."
Bai Ningchuan glanced at Chu Yan, but Chu Yan did not look at him, but drank his tea.
