Chapter 729: Chapter 0730: God’s Pet [Third Update]
Ye Qiu was still not very clear whether this ledger had any issues, but if there were issues, they must lie with Housekeeper Eugene, as he had always been responsible for the income and expenditure of the castle and the vineyard.
"We are very hungry, go and cook for us, we will take a walk outside,"
Ye Qiu said.
Housekeeper Eugene knew that this young man really was not simple, at least he could not understand at all what Ye Qiu intended to do.
Just now, he and the other servants thought that Ye Qiu was going to dismiss them, but Ye Qiu had not said so.
As for that thick ledger, Ye Qiu decided to keep it and study it carefully tonight.
As the two middle-aged maids led Ye Qiu and his two companions upstairs in the castle, the castle had six floors, but in total, there were dozens of rooms.
These servants were villagers from nearby, but they occasionally stayed here; even so, there were still too many vacant rooms.
"Viscount Ye Qiu, this is your master bedroom,"
one of the middle-aged maids said.
Generally, Europeans are very slim when they are young, like the young maids at Earl Charlie’s Castle.
However, after reaching their thirties, European women start to gain weight, gradually becoming barrel-shaped, and this scenario applies to ordinary European women and to the upper class.
Now the middle-aged maid with Ye Qiu entered the room and found that the soft beds there were not as good as those in Earl Charlie’s Castle, but the difference was not significant.
As for the bookshelves and wardrobes, they were all in a classical European style, some possibly decades old, all inherited from the past—these could all be considered antiques.
When Ye Qiu had placed his backpack, Wenting and Louise were led to two other rooms.
Actually, upon arriving at the castle, Wenting was a bit scared to sleep alone in a room; if she really felt scared later, she might end up sleeping in a room with Ye Qiu or Louise.
After the belongings of the two women were placed, Ye Qiu, Wenting, and Louise followed the two middle-aged maids continuously upstairs until they reached the fifth floor, where the two young maids stopped and an older one looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Viscount Ye Qiu, you cannot go up any further."
"Why?"
Louise understood because this floor was devoted to the god they worshipped, and so, at the top floor of Earl Charlie’s Castle, people rarely went up.
The two middle-aged maids glanced at each other, seemingly unsure whether to speak, as they were also followers of this religion.
"A god is enshrined above!"
Louise said.
Without a doubt, it was the same as what they had seen in Earl Charlie’s Castle, and Ye Qiu could see that these servants also believed in the god of this religion.
Ye Qiu didn’t believe in those, only in himself.
However, he knew, for now, he still should not provoke public anger.
So, Ye Qiu did not proceed to the sixth floor. Wenting did not expect that this place would also have them—were there those white-haired, red-eyed bats here too?
If so, that would frighten her.
"Are there bats here?"
Wenting asked.
A middle-aged maid stopped and asked, "Do you mean the pets of the god? Yes, there are some here, but not many."
Those white-haired, red-eyed bats are actually the pets of a god?
This made Wenting even more astonished; what kind of religion was this that regarded bats as the pets of a god?
In fact, in the domestic context, regardless of whether a house is inhabited or not, as long as it is large and dark, it tends to attract bats to make it their home.
And this castle, being so ancient and not exactly sunny inside, definitely attracts these darkness-loving creatures like bats.
Zhou Wenting was already too frightened to speak, thinking it was only at Earl Charley’s Castle, only to find that they were here as well.
When her expression turned somewhat pale, Ye Qiu said, "Wenting, it seems you learned nothing in biology; these bats definitely prefer dark places, how could there not be bats here?"
Zhou Wenting, who studied medicine, certainly learned biology, and only then did she come to understand what Ye Qiu meant.
"So that’s it, I was thinking too much."
However, thinking about those white-furred, red-eyed bats showing their thin, sharp fangs, she was still very scared.
Coming down from upstairs and stepping outside, she felt the sunlight somewhat dazzling. However, the sunlight in France now was not harsh, similar to the early spring season.
When they went outside, a gardener took the initiative to show Ye Qiu around.
According to the property deed, the area around the castle extending out to one hundred thousand square meters of the estate is entirely Ye Qiu’s private property.
One hundred thousand square meters is equivalent to about one hundred fifty acres of land, which is indeed a very large area.
Looking around now, apart from one area being a lawn with nothing planted, the rest was the vineyard. Initially, when there was talk of a vineyard, it referred exactly to this kind of vineyard.
As the gardener led Ye Qiu and three others towards that ordinary estate, he introduced Ye Qiu to the varieties of grapes in this vineyard, including Syrah, Merlot, and Carménère.
In fact, there was no need for the gardener’s introduction, Ye Qiu could tell which varieties they were just by looking.
These grapes were not meant to be eaten as fruit but were used for making red and white wines, so, tasting these grapes might be tart, and besides, it was not the season for harvesting grapes yet, possibly not until the middle to late next month.
Of course, Ye Qiu had no interest in these grapes at the moment, though they were already his, he could give them to Earl Charley, hoping in return the Earl would send him some high-quality wines.
After the tour, Ye Qiu’s expression was unchanged, but Zhou Wenting was very happy; she had always wanted a vineyard of her own.
But she didn’t have one, even though she was wealthy and had share dividends, she dared not invest recklessly. She didn’t expect that Ye Qiu now had such a large vineyard.
From now on, this place belonged to Ye Qiu!
"This place is just too beautiful!"
Zhou Wenting exclaimed.
With a castle, an estate, and the distant golden sea merging with the azure sky, any ordinary person would feel extremely comfortable staying here for a few days.
"Miss Zhou, if you were here in the autumn, it would become even more beautiful!"
the gardener said.
Compared to the South in China where the seasons feel almost the same throughout the year, maybe with little temperature variation, there really isn’t much difference.
However, in Europe, the seasons are distinct, and each season is truly different.
"I know because I studied in Europe for many years,"
Zhou Wenting said.
"Isn’t there a coachman? Where is the carriage?"
Ye Qiu asked.
Indeed, there was a coachman here, but he was employed to care for horses, not to drive the carriage.
