”Uncle's wife, if you go into the inner courtyard and have a look, you'll make people even more confused.”
Shi Shu's words made the few masters speed up their pace.
As soon as they entered, they saw a veranda on both sides of the east and west side, with pillars carved onto it. Below the veranda, however, was a birdcage, parrots, thrushes, orioles, flowers and flowers in the garden, winding pavilions, pavilions, hidden amidst the flowers and trees were a small bridge and flowing water.
Mu Jinzhi laughed until his mouth split open, and said, ”Little sister even likes him, but he's a lot bigger than our old house. Moreover, that old man also loves to enjoy himself.
Mu Rousang laughed sweetly under her fan. Left Lady spoke first: ”I had long heard that the Old Master loved to repair our garden and that the 700 something thousand silver was not spent for nothing. At this price, seeing the water flowing on the fake mountain and in the stream, I'm afraid that it was brought in from the outside. There is also a pavilion by the water, and there is a green lotus in the pool, and a carp swimming lightly in the water. ”
”Aunt is right. It's the first time I've seen such a scene in my life!” The more Mu Rousang looked at it, the more he liked it.
Mu Jinzhi said: ”At first glance, I liked it, and thought that I would definitely like it too, and that is only the scenery in front, there are some differences at the back of the various courtyards.”
The group passed through the beautiful scenery of the green lotus and walked through a winding corridor before finally seeing a few courtyards. Incense wafted from the depths of the green bamboo as the fragrant flowers covered the ground.
It was the beginning of summer, and only the fragrance of the Qing He was overwhelming.
Wangcai Wife led the group to the Cloud Stepping Pavilion. Inside, there were already tables and chairs, and on top of the chairs were fine tea, fruits, and fine pastries.
”Masters, you must be tired of walking. Why don't you take a break here for a while, and go take a look after tea?”
Left Lady had already left a long time ago and was already drenched in sweat. He wished that he could find a place to sit and said: ”You really are a good wife.” Seeing that Wangcai Wife's dressing was different from the others, she knew in her heart that this was the inner court manager's wife.
”This is Aunt Wang Cai. The two of us have been doing well since we came here. Her family is the first family member that we bought.” Mu Jinzhi's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it landed perfectly in the ears of the girls and their wives who had followed him here.
The Left Lady secretly nodded his head. Mu Jinzhi was beating the newly arrived servants up, and said: ”From now on, you must listen to my orders well, this lady stays in the inner court. Don't make me work too hard, but you must treat me to everything!”
”Yes, thank you uncle and madam for your advice.” Wangcai Wife had only ever been in charge of the kitchen before, when had he become as imposing as he was now. His tone contained a sense of pride, Left Lady had purposely hit her, all of this good fortune was given to her by the Mu siblings.
At this time, the little girl had already brewed some tea and brought it over to the masters. Mu Rousang woke up early in the morning, before she had even woken up, he had already entered the horse carriage. She naturally did not care about eating breakfast, but felt very hungry.
Wangcai Wife obediently stood at the side, standing together with Aunt Liu. She was clear about his own matters, Aunt Liu was released from the palace, she paid attention to her ways of doing things, and secretly learned, in the end, didn't want to embarrass the Mu Family.
After resting for a while, they heard Aunt Liu say, ”Masters, where do you want to go out first?”
The Wangcai Wife hurriedly said, ”Ink Fragrance Temple is the study room. Young Master will temporarily stay there, and the small clear garden in the middle will be the Main yard that Young Master is married to, while the Amorous Fragrance Court to the east will be the young lady's residence.” Needless to say, the Drunken Language Channel was a place for entertainment.
Mu Jinzhi said: ”I'm afraid sister and aunt are tired, let's go to my sister's Fragrance Court first!”
The few of them stood up and headed north from the pavilion, then followed the bluestone path to the left, passing through a small garden where the Tai Lake Stones were stacked together. Only then did they come to Mu Rousang's residence.
When they saw that everyone had arrived, they hurriedly paid their respects to the lords and said, ”Miss, the Fragrant Storey has caught up with our old house in the small mountain village. The lady's room is on the east side of the main house, and when you open the window, you can see a bunch of lotus flowers. It will only take you half a cup of tea to get to the Incense Scent Shrine and the Qingyuan Garden.
Mu Rousang stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked to the east. Sure enough, there was a green lotus at the back of the house, and there was a small path in the middle that was separated by a flower bed.
”This courtyard isn't bad. I don't even need to leave the courtyard to capture the scenery before my eyes.” Left Lady was very satisfied with Mu Jinzhi's meticulous arrangements.
Pointing at the corridor, he asked, ”Where does this corridor lead to?”
Mu Jinzhi laughed: ”My sister likes peach flowers, so I made people plant a bunch of peach flowers at the back of the house, and also made people plant a few osmanthus flowers at the back of the house. In the courtyard, there were some plum trees planted in groups of three or five, and my sister loved the fragrance of the Four Seasons Flower.
This courtyard was wide and bright, without a single trace of Yin energy. It was obvious that Mu Jinzhi had noticed it, and only planted a few cheerful flowers, causing the master of this place to constantly enjoy his gaze.
