Iris picked up from Beijing, and the little guy fell asleep in the car. Obviously, he had just ended a financial war and immediately traveled to China. After all, she was still young and was exhausted from traveling. She was really tired.

Seeing the little guy leaning against him, his sweet but upright sleeping posture, and his delicate and picturesque little face was full of tranquility, Lu Zheng smiled slightly, and his heart was also very comfortable.

Mrs. Amaria also took the business car, sitting opposite Lu Zheng and Iris. After getting in the car, she helped Lu Zheng make a cup of coffee. Hu Zi drove very smoothly. The full coffee was placed on the fiberglass coffee table without a single drop.

Seeing that Mrs. Amaria wanted to speak but stopped, Lu Zheng lowered his voice and asked, "If you have anything, just tell me.

Mrs. Amaria hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Sir, send the lady back to Haibin Manor today. It is available for check-in at any time. Someone is taking care of it. You can go to the manor with the lady on weekends. The girls in Beijing and I are also preparing to move to Haibin Manor to take care of you and the lady nearby. Moreover, the agricultural products of the manor will also be harvested this year."

Lu Zheng thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, do as you said."

Mrs. Amaria was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir, I'll call them and ask them to rush over now.

Lu Zheng smiled, actually, thinking about it, when Aris was in Wushan, Mrs. Amaria and others were in a difficult situation. They wanted to live in a mansion in Beijing. Only Laura and Louise were following Aris in Wushan. For Mrs. Amaria and others, they could not serve Aris, and they also lost their intention to exist.

The seaside manor is located on the coastline of Wushan, on the banks of the seaside National Forest Park, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres. It is a Gothic castle-style manor that took three years to complete and is said to be similar to a castle owned by Iris in Germany.

Lu Zheng knew that there were four manors covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres in China, located in Beijing, Wushan, southern Yunnan and Hainan. The four manors have different styles, such as the manor in Beijing, the manor in Beijing is a deep mansion, which complements the buildings of the imperial city, and the manor in Wushan is in the Western medieval style.

These four manors were successfully enclosed. For example, Wushan Bar, the manor was originally a barren land, but who knew that China was developing very fast. Now it is a tourist destination and is adjacent to a national forest park. Now, if you want to get land from there, let alone hundreds or thousands of acres, you can't get a single piece of land.

Lu Zheng is not interested in land grabbing in China, but sometimes he has to admire Iris's vision. Now the domestic land grabbing movement has just revealed its prototype, but Iris is already the king of China. Many land that is impossible to obtain now have been taken early by her operation.

In fact, it is a normal tourism project for tourists who are traveling in the National Forest Park to look at the towering castle under the green wood under the guidance of the tour guide. Although this beachfront castle does not belong to a scenic spot, it actually has become part of the forest park landscape. However, tourists do not know that it is owned by privately. Most people think that the castle is a protected historical relics.

Lu Zheng and Iris went back to Beijing to take a look. When they got back in the car, Iris fell asleep sweetly again.

Haibin Manor is not far from the city. Mercedes-Benz business car is driving at a medium speed and arrives half an hour after leaving the city. There is a wide asphalt road at the fork of the expressway leading to the Forest Park. A few kilometers away is Haibin Manor, which was also built by Iris.

At the turn a few hundred meters away from the manor gate, there is a guard room, the security guard sets up a checkpoint, checks the registration information of the visitor, and calls the manor to verify, because further forward, the destination must be this private manor. There are woods at the turn aside. In this guard pavilion, there is actually no ancient gate of the manor.

The security measures here are the security company hired by Mrs. Amariya. It is the first checkpoint. The manor has registered photos and license plates of more than 20 vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle driven by Hu Zi is also among them. The security guard directly opened the gate and released it.

When he turned around and drove to the gate of the manor, the protection measures were extremely strict. When he saw Mrs. Amaria get out of the car, the tall and strong bodyguard still walked out of the corner door. He looked at the passengers in the car vigilantly. When he saw Lu Zheng rolling down the window, nodding at them, he waved his hand and the door slowly opened.

In fact, although the bodyguard at the gate of the manor is already Iris' personal bodyguard, it is still on the periphery. Several of Iris' closest female bodyguards, such as Laura, even hold gun possession certificates specially approved by the highest level of the Ministry of Public Security.

In the manor, you can see the majestic Gothic castle hidden by the green forest and the sea of ​​flowers. The tulips on both sides are orderly, as colorful as a rainbow. On the green grass, a few snow-white swans are walking comfortably, making the European pastoral scenery.

The car stopped in front of the castle. Seeing that Iris was still asleep, Lu Zheng gently picked her up and got out carefully. Then he strode up to the steps in front of the castle. He was tall and strong. He held Iris' knees and bent as light as holding a baby. When he went up the steps, Iris' brown eyelashes moved. When he opened his eyes and saw Lu Zheng, he smiled sweetly and fell asleep.

Looking at this scene, Mrs. Amaria looked a little relieved. There was no doubt that the lady's husband was getting more and more fond of the lady. It seemed that she was very doting on the lady. The more she got along with him, the more she could feel his goodness.

Thinking about how he looked down on him at the beginning, Mrs. Amari could not help but feel ashamed. When the husband and the lady got married, they thought that the other party was a nouveau riche in China, rude and uncultured. But after getting along for a long time, they realized that the male master was humble and gentle. Like the lady, they were all gods in a certain world. He was almost omnipotent but never showed off. He had a gentlemanly demeanor and chivalrous spirit than the most gentleman in the West. His ambition was to change a country. Compared with him, the so-called young talents seemed so small. The male master, perhaps his future achievements should be used to compare with politicians like Washington and Churchill.

It is actually an honor to be able to serve such a man in this ancient country.

Lu Zheng didn't know Mrs. Amaria's random thoughts. Accompanied by a German maid, he hugged Iris and went straight into the bedroom on the second floor. He gently placed Iris on the soft and luxurious bed, helped her take off her little brown leather boots, helped her cover it with a thin blanket, and turned around and walked out.

The German maid stayed and was about to change the bedside when the lady woke up. She came in directly from outside and wore formal clothes and went to the bed. Naturally, there was dust. She turned around and had to replace the bed sheets.

Lu Zheng came to the lounge and turned on the TV. It was almost seven o'clock now. At half past seven, the game between Beidou Star and Shougang started.

The maid next to him brought coffee and newspapers, and Mrs. Amaria also walked in and said, "Sir, do you have time? I want to introduce you to the situation of the manor."

Seeing a stack of forms in Mrs. Amaria's hand, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's take a look." He reached out to take it, and then he was stunned. There were nearly two hundred employees in the entire manor. The housekeeper was Mrs. Amaria, four personal servants who lived and served in the castle, eight first-class female servants, twenty second-class female servants, a total of thirty-two female servants, including Louise, Anna and two other German maids, together with the first-class female servants, taking care of the life of the male and female servants. The second-class female servants were mainly responsible for cleaning the hygiene of the main castle where the male and female servants lived, including cleaners, laundry workers, etc.

These thirty-two maids and housekeeper Mrs. Amaria live in the castle, and there are nearly 200 employees in the manor area outside the castle.

There are nineteen people including the chef of the castle kitchen, the second chef, the pastry chef, etc.

Fifty-six male and female farm workers are responsible for the management of the orchards, vineyards, fish ponds, cattle and sheep, etc.

There are six gardeners who are responsible for managing the manor's flowerbeds and ornamental trees.

Eleven technical workers are responsible for the manor's water supply system, power generation system, boiler room, etc.

Five bricklayers are responsible for the daily repair of the manor.

Fourteen cleaners are responsible for cleaning the building areas of the manor except the ancient castle.

There are three teachers in the school and nine library administrators.

Manor Workers Apartment Restaurant Chef, Management and Service Staff.

Swimming pool, tennis court, bowling alley, gym, movie screening room, wine tasting room, gift packaging room, etc.

And so on.

The form summarized by Mrs. Amaria is very detailed. In fact, many of these men and women worker relationships are for husband and wife, father-in-law and son-in-law and parents and children. It seems that many of these people have served the Sandru family for generations. Now they come to China with the hostess across the ocean and will continue to reproduce from generation to generation. Of course, depending on the situation, before coming to China, Mrs. Amaria has replenished a lot of fresh blood for the new Lu family.

According to custom, Iris has added the husband's surname "Lu" to a long list of names. In formal occasions in the West, she is already "Mrs. Lu". The workers in the entire manor also serve the emerging Lu family in the Sandru branch.

Manor School mainly teaches the children of these workers. In terms of the curriculum level of Chinese students, it should be enlightenment education before middle school.

Lu Zheng has never cared about the manor, and only today did he know that there are so many cash crop plantations and even fish ponds in the seaside manor. Think about it again, the European castle manor is originally a product of a fiefdom, and the so-called manor is no different from a small town. The owner of the manor is the ruler of the entire manor, and the entire manor is a self-sufficient small agricultural society.

The Sandru family undoubtedly retains certain traditions. The coastal manor is not large in size and is naturally not suitable for mechanized farms. However, there must be a plantation, otherwise, thousands of acres of land will greatly conquer the natural world.

"And there is a library?" Lu Zheng couldn't help asking.

Mrs. Amariya smiled and said, "Yes, the three-story building, the first and second floors are open to all employees in the manor. The third floor is for you and the lady, and there is also an ancient book collection room. The lady has already collected a lot of ancient Chinese books."

Lu Zheng smiled, with a private library and a collection of ancient books. The little guy is really in the style of aristocratic people. But think about it, there were many gentry building library in China during the dynasty period, reflecting the importance of culture and knowledge. However, no one in the rich class now has such a good mood.

Lu Zheng glanced at the security list below and stopped looking down. It was too complicated. For example, more than 30 security personnel, even introduced the general experience before serving the Sandru family, as well as patrol vehicles and other equipment provided for security personnel, including the division of labor of these security personnel, were listed one by one.

Moreover, Lu Zheng didn't want to look down because he was afraid that he would see something he didn't want to see, such as the issue of security personnel providing guns. Lu Zheng vaguely knew that even some security personnel in the manor who did not have gun certificates also held firearms. This is understandable. After all, Haibin Manor is more than 20 kilometers away from the nearest police station, and it is rare to travel. If a gang of thugs attacks, the security personnel will suffer a loss. Especially, if the manor is full of treasures leaked, it is hard to say that it will not arouse the covetousness of the thugs, and these thugs can buy guns from the black market.

But understanding is understanding, it is not good for those around you to carry guns without a license, so it is better not to know clearly.

"Okay, I'll go around tomorrow." Lu Zheng returned the form to Mrs. Amaria, pointed to the TV. On the wall-mounted large-screen plasma TV screen, the commentator has begun to introduce the two teams that are about to face.

Mrs. Amaria understood and said, "I won't bother you, sir, I'll ask Louise to serve you." She walked to the maid at the bar and whispered a few words, then stepped out.

There are dozens of bedrooms in the main castle, and even the thirty-two maids who serve the castle, only four personal maids can sleep in the maid's room next to the bedroom of the male and female hostess. Eight first-class maids live in the designated maid's room, while Mrs. Amaria lives in the housekeeper's room on the first floor, while the remaining twenty second-class maids are not qualified to live in the castle. Among them, they are married and live in the dormitory area of ​​the manor's hired workers with their husbands, the manor's apartment, and the unmarried ones live in the maid's apartment building on the two-story adjacent to the main castle.

After watching the football game, Lu Zheng found that apart from the waitress at the bar, Louise had come in at some point and sat on a high stool. Seeing herself getting up, she walked over quickly and asked, "Sir, what do you need to order?"

Lu Zheng said, "I took a bath and rested." He knew in his heart that because Louise was not in China, he often accompanied her in Wushan, so when Mrs. Amaria divided the work of the maid, Louise was more or less the same as her own personal maid.

But she came just in time, with dozens of bedrooms in the castle, and she couldn't count them herself, and didn't know where to sleep.

Louise said, "I will take you to the lady's room."

She spoke naturally, and her pretty face had no strange expressions, but the word "Madam" still made Lu Zheng slightly stunned. The people brought by Iris, including Mrs. Amari, all called Iris "Miss" according to the old names. Now, Louise was the first to change her words.

Is this a loyalty to myself and suggesting that from now on she will be her own person and have left the Miss Gang? Lu Zheng smiled in his heart. It was not a palace fighting drama, so how could he have so many thoughts? It’s just that she has been with her for a long time and feels that she should change her words.

"Mrs. I saw you, but I didn't bother you when I saw you watching the football game. She ate something and went back to her room to rest." Louise said while leading the way.

Lu Zheng nodded: "She should have had more rest." After thinking about it, he said: "Let her have a good rest tonight, don't wake her up, I'll go to the master's room."

Louise nodded slightly.

The bedroom on the second floor of Iris is the wife's room, and next to it is the master's room. Opposite the two master's bedrooms are four servant's rooms. In fact, the wife's room and the master's room are connected, and there is a door that can be opened on both sides. Of course, whether from the master's room or from the wife's room, you can lock the door inside.

Lu Zheng took a shower and lay on the bed. He thought about the game where Beidou Star won Shougang three to zero just now, and then about Iris, the wife's room, as the name suggests, should have been full of mature and tempting atmosphere, but the wife's room where Iris slept is like the little princess's bedroom in a fairy tale. It is snow-white and quiet, and it is a pure and flawless beauty. It makes people feel ashamed and dare not have a sense of blasphemy. However, I heard that the wife's room on the third floor is rose-tone, with infinite temptation. I don't know when Iris will grow up and live in the wife's room on the third floor.

Then Lu Zheng shook his head, what was he thinking?

In this way, the thoughts fluctuated, and Lu Zheng slowly fell asleep.

Lu Zheng slept very sweetly this time. When he opened his eyes, a ray of sunlight shone into the room through the curtains. It seemed that it was getting late.

Today is Sunday, and Lu Zheng took another leave early. He was very busy during this period and finally had a day off. Lu Zheng was preparing to take a good rest. Thinking about BGI's law courses, I was afraid that I would have to retake it sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng slowly sat up, then he was stunned and said ah.

But I saw Aris sitting quietly by the desk, clicking on the pDA in his hand, thinking that the little guy was reading a book.

Seeing Lu Zheng get up, Iris put away the computer in his hand and said, "I'll wait for you to have breakfast together."

Lu Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Okay." Suddenly someone was waiting for him to have breakfast with him. He was a little guy, but it also made people feel very warm.

Immediately, Lu Zheng thought again that Iris read books on his handheld computer instead of reading them with paper books, so he was afraid that a sound would disturb him.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Compared to the little guy, he was far less careful than that.

After breakfast, it was almost eight o'clock, and Lu Zheng excitedly suggested going to the strawberry garden with Iris to see the situation of picking strawberries. Because Mrs. Amariya mentioned that the strawberries in the manor are ripe now and have a very good variety. If the gentleman and the lady want to give some to their friends, they can give instructions. The gift packaging room will pack gifts and write gift cards as the gentleman and the lady’s instructions. If you need to go to express delivery, the gift room will be responsible for the arrangement. If you don’t need to go to express delivery, you will be delivered quickly.

Mrs. Amariya also said that after some of the remaining strawberries were distributed to the workers, she would make jam. She was also planning to register the trademark of the strawberry jam in the Haibin Manor with the local industrial and commercial department to sell the jams and supplement the estate expenses.

After Lu Zheng learned about the general operation of the manor, he learned that Mrs. Amaria had a business license to operate agricultural products, and she was responsible for the sale of agricultural products in the manor.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Amari is indeed dedicated and responsible. She and Iris don’t care about the expenses of the manor, but she strives to keep the estate balanced. When she was in Germany, the manor where Iris lived could be self-sufficient. The income from the manor’s agricultural products can maintain daily repair costs and pay workers’ wages and various tax burdens, and it is also a little profitable. This is done by many agricultural products on the premise that Iris gave them as gifts. These are all the credits of Mrs. Amari.

Mrs. Amariya is also very smart. The secondary processing of agricultural products in Iris Manor is very popular in the upper class of Germany and it is hard to find a fortune.

In fact, this is also because of Mrs. Amaria's convenience. For example, now Mrs. Amaria wants to make strawberry jam the same way. She and Iris give it to others as gifts. The one who can eat this "Haibin Manor" strawberry jam is naturally a dignitary, and the jam has become a high-end, atmospheric and high-end product. Those rich and wealthy businessmen will be proud of having a "Binhai Manor" strawberry jam at home. The strawberry output of the manor is certain. There will not be much strawberry jam every year, but the less it is, the more precious it is. It is not surprising to say that the price is more than ten times that of ordinary strawberry jam on the market. This psychology is common in China and the West. For example, some private wine estates in the West, the wine they make is gradually turned into pure products and become a guarantee of the brand, which is similar to Mrs. Amaria's practice.

Of course, the premise is that the jam brewed by the manor workers is of extraordinary quality, and Lu Zheng is deeply confident about this.

"Haibin Manor Jam?" When Louise led the way to the strawberry garden, Lu Zheng was still thinking that many of the things brought by Iris and Mrs. Amaria were so fresh. Now thinking about it, even if you really become a manor, you will feel comfortable going on a life.

Along the way, there were fewer people. The closer we got to the main castle, the less idle people were waiting. But when we arrived near the strawberry garden, it suddenly became lively. All kinds of workers and children were coming from their living areas to prepare for construction. When they saw Lu Zheng and Iris greeted him cautiously.

Lu Zheng knew that these workers did not look down on serfs who seemed to follow their masters, but the actual situation was very different. They were guaranteed by contracts and had a very generous income. They were not well educated, and such a stable and high-paying job was hard to find in Germany. Moreover, the next generation could basically guarantee a better education. Iris's manor in Germany provided them with scholarships to the next generation to go to college. Of course, if you want to win this generous reward, your parents need to work hard to become excellent employees.

In fact, although the times are different now, many children who went to college outside finally came back to serve the Sandru family. Some joined the Sandru family's businesses, while others could not adapt to the competition outside. Yu Qian returned to the manor to continue his parents' life as a farmer and worker. For Germans, farmer workers are not a low-level job.

Many hired workers are reluctant to come to China with Miss Iris. According to Mrs. Amaria, there are many opportunities to come to China. Now it is true. This manor is quiet and orderly, and it has its own shuttle bus. It takes one every morning and evening to provide holiday workers with the convenience of traveling to the city. If you don’t want to go home to visit your relatives during a long holiday, you can also travel in this ancient country.

Especially for children, their future development will definitely be very good. After receiving enlightenment education at the manor school, if they are unwilling to return to China, they can study in the international schools in the city. Children who grow up in this way will at least be familiar with the two languages. The simplest job opportunity is translation. In this country with ever-changing economy, there are really many opportunities.

Therefore, when men and women hired workers, they both bowed devoutly when they saw Lu Zheng and Iris.

"Bang", a little boy jumped out from somewhere and hit Lu Zheng.

Then, a peasant woman ran over in a panic and said sorry to the male owner repeatedly. Lu Zheng smiled and touched the little boy's head, indicating that it was okay.

In the strawberry garden, the workers have already started to work hard. Looking at the big red strawberries with full and mouth-watering sizes, Lu Zheng couldn't help swallowing, and it looked really greedy.
Chapter completed!
