Chapter 50

A highway outside Kyoto is connected to the Jinzhou Pier, where people come and go, bustle every day.

You can find some fresh objects or seeds from overseas in Waibei City. There are more foreign stalls in Waibei City than in Neibei City.

The foreign goods in Neibeicheng are all high-quality products, and only do business for rich people. The foreign goods in Neibeicheng are more and more diverse than the categories.

Mu Yunqingkong took the servant and maid to walk on the most prosperous Fanxi Street in Waibei City. There were countless shops and stalls around, and various hawking sounds kept coming to his ears.

Mu Yun and Qingkong grew up in the mansion. Such a lively scene is rarely seen. Both of them are very curious, and they look here and there.

The two of them walked around for a while and bought many exquisite gadgets. Mu Yun also bought a piece of ambergris, about the size of a copper coin, and a small knuckle thickness cost Mu Yun sixteen taels of silver. It was so expensive.

Finally, Muyun bought all the flowers and trees she wanted in a seed store. Muyun settled wisteria, peony, peony, camellia, cherry blossom, ginkgo, wintersweet...

The clear sky calms the azalea, cyclamen, primrose, cypress, cypress, bamboo, lily, crabapple, rose...

The two of them made a lot of purchases in the store, and the store owner was extremely happy and promised to choose the best variety for them and deliver them to their doorstep.

After purchasing the flowers and trees, the things Mu Yun and Qingkong wanted to buy came to an end. The two of them found a teahouse to have a teahouse for a while.

The streets were crowded and the teahouse was filled with people. Mu Yun and Qingkong entered the teahouse. Zhong Li, the maid who went out with Mu Yun, went up to ask if there was any private room. The waiter shook his head and said that the private room was already full.

Muyun and Qingkong are not necessarily in the private room. They are just tired of walking and want to find a place to rest, it doesn’t matter where they are.

"Waiter, please find us a table, no need for a private room." Mu Yun said.

"Hello, please come with the young lady, two ladies." The waiter shook the scarf on his shoulder and led Mu Yun and Qingkong into the ground.

The waiter was also very careful. Seeing that Mu Yun and Qingkong were both girls' homes, he led them to the corner. Mu Yun was very satisfied. After sitting down, he rewarded Xiao Er with a string of copper coins.

"Make a pot of good tea in your store for us, and then put two snacks on it." Mu Yun ordered.

"Hello, the two ladies wait a moment, and I'll make tea for you now." The waiter smiled and took the reward away.

Mu Yun asked Zhong Li and Qingkong's maid Mo Lan to do it too.

The two little maids who got the order sat down happily.

Mu Yun and Qingkong came out today to bring two maids and two servants. The servant Mu Yun gave them money to find a place outside to rest.

Mu Yun had two maids around him, and Zhong Li was brought out, and Sun Meiyuan, the daughter of Manager Sun, who was staying at home. The former was ten years old and the latter was nine years old.

Qingkong's two maids bought them, one named Momei and the other named Molan, both of whom were ten years old.

Sitting in the teahouse, Mu Yun looked at the various people in the teahouse and felt different fireworks.

In the Duke's Mansion, there are exquisite food, clothing and supplies, and the buildings are magnificent. But Muyun still loves the various life and bustling fireworks outside, because this is life.

Although the Duke's Mansion is exquisite, the unchanging life day after day will make people lose a trace of popularity day after day.

Look at the current people who drink tea, chat, and tease... all kinds of people who call to buy goods on the streets, and who pick up goods, they live more freely.

The waiter gave him a refreshment, interrupting Muyun's thoughts. Muyun came back to her senses and drank tea with Qingkong and started chatting.

The teahouse is the place with the most gossip. Mu Yun and Qingkong sat for a while, then they heard the table in front of them talking about gossip rumors about the young masters of wealthy families and famous actors in brothels.

The two looked at each other helplessly. Mu Yun was really not interested in this scandal and didn't listen much, but Zhong Li and Mo Lan listened with relish.

After a while, the people at that table turned to the incident of the Wen Banquet in the Jinzhou case last year and was accepted as a closed disciple by Fu Qingbai, a great scholar in the Minghe Academy in Beijing.

He heard that the person in the table said that the first person in the Jinzhou case was born in poverty, with no parents at home, and only a married sister. Last year, he passed the county examination at the age of 16 and the government examinations, and was the first in the hospital examinations, and was deeply loved by Fu Qingbai, so he accepted it as a closed disciple.

"Wen Yan?!" Mu Yun murmured.

"What?" Qingkong thought Mu Yun was talking to her and asked.

Mu Yun woke up and said quickly: "It's nothing, I'm in a daze!"

"Oh" Qingkong looked at her strangely and didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Yun thought to himself: Is it the Wen Yan I know?

But Mu Yun quickly stopped thinking about it. After all, she and Wen Yan had only met one time. Although they had a good conversation at that time, in fact, she and him were not familiar with each other. They just had a little vague favor in their hearts.

After resting, Muyun and Qingkong walked around the street again. This time, Muyun found a string of agarwood Buddhist beads, a total of ninety-nine, and a full-headed amulet hanging.

Mu Yun bargained with the store for a long time and finally bought it for 560 taels. He also asked the store to give him a string of agarwood beads bracelets.

Mu Yun successfully killed the price and was very happy. He left the store with his stuff with great confidence and bought some spices from a foreign vendor.

The group returned home with a full load. After Mu Yun packed up his things, he began to plan the place to grow things tomorrow.

When Madam Yun repaired the house, she stripped away all the flowers, plants and trees of the original owner. Madam Yun's original words were: The original owner's aesthetics were so ugly that it was unbearable to look at it.

So at present, there are very few green plants in this house, and there is only one persimmon tree.

Although this house is four-entry, it covers a large area, just like Mu Yun’s courtyard behind the east wing, estimated that it was 300 square meters. The east wing house covers an area of ​​30 meters long and about twenty meters wide. This was converted by Mu Yun herself, and she didn’t know whether it was accurate or not.

The west wing is the same size as hers, and the main house is about half times larger than theirs. Mu Yun estimated that the courtyard is at least 800 to 1,000 square meters. With the front yard, the flowers and trees she ordered with Qingkong should be enough, after all, most of them are potted plants.

Muyun planned to plant a cherry blossom in front of her house, ginkgo behind her house, wisteria around the main house, and roses and green bamboos on the side of the courtyard wall.

She did it on Qingkong by herself, and Muyun would not interfere.

Speaking of which, Mu Yun and the other three basically did not interfere with each other when they got along. Madam Yun didn't care much about their affairs, and Mu Yun and Qingkong did not interfere with each other. The three of them were very satisfied with the way they got along.

On the second day, the seed shop sent someone to the flowers and trees that were fixed by the muyun and the clear sky yesterday. Several cars were full of flowers and trees. All the servants in the house put down their work and came to help move the flowers and trees.

After a while of going in and out, I finally moved all the flowers and trees into the house. Mu Yun and Qingkong first arranged the courtyard of the second courtyard first. After all, it is a place to welcome guests, so it is better to arrange it first.

Divide the flowers and trees and put them in the flower pots that had been prepared or the pit that had been dug early. The second courtyard was larger than the place where Mu Yun and the others lived. Mu Yun planted a ginkgo tree in this courtyard, and the other one was planted in the backyard of the east wing.

After spending a day planting all the flowers and trees, Mu Yun felt that she should hire a gardener. After all, she is a half-baked person, and Qingkong only knows a little bit. Both of them are half-hearted. If they are not easy to manage flowers and trees, they will soon die of death, and the money will be spent in vain.

Mu Yun and Qingkong each had to pay at least 400 taels for the money to buy these flowers and trees, which means that they spent more than 800 taels of silver when they bought these flowers.

The most expensive of these flowers and trees should be camellia and peonies, because the varieties of camellia selected by Muyun are relatively expensive.

Mu Yun planned to wait for Madam Yun to come back to talk to her about hiring a gardener, but she didn't expect Madam Yun to come back tonight and bring two people, an old man in his fifties and his eight-year-old grandson.

The old man's surname is Cao, a native of Luoyang. He was originally a gardener in the prefect's family. Because he offended the prefect's wife, the family was sold. As a result, his son and daughter-in-law died of illness and only he and grandson were left. Old man Cao lost his wife in his early years and lost his son in his later years.

Old man Cao has good skills, knows flowers and trees, and his grandson knows a little. When Madam Yun saw his grandparents and grandchildren at the time, she thought Mu Yun and Qingkong were struggling with the courtyard at home, and there was a shortage of gardeners, so she immediately bought the grandparents and grandchildren.

After learning about the situation, Mu Yun exclaimed: "Mother is really raining in time. Our family bought all the flowers and trees and planted them today, and there was a gardener, so I don't have to work hard to find them."

"Well, I originally wanted to buy some people who work, but I didn't like him, so I saw his grandparents and grandchildren. I thought that you two were trying to plant flowers and transform the courtyard? It was just right with Mr. Cao." Madam Yun said.

Muyun and Qingkong both nodded.

Now that there is a gardener, Mu Yun is not worried. He asked someone to take Cao's grandson to wash up, have dinner, go to bed, and rest for a night.

Let’s talk about flowers and trees tomorrow. Anyway, there are already gardeners, so it’s not a short time.

After the few people had dinner, Mu Yun took a comfortable bath and went to bed early.
