Chapter Ninety-Six: Whitewashed
With the help of Shen Moxuan, An Lan's family quickly moved out of the Li family's courtyard, An Lan gave Shen Moxuan the one hundred taels of silver tickets left by Meng Qingxue, and asked him to help find someone to repair the gate of the Li family's courtyard.
In the evening, Shen Moxuan was very considerate and asked An Feng to be sent to An's house, and left in a hurry without even eating dinner.
At this time, the Li Mansion was already jumping up and down, and there was a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
Meng Qingxue and Nangong Wushuang in the jewelry store were arguing enthusiastically when they heard the mother-in-law report that the Li family was looking for the missing young master, she immediately stopped arguing, and walked out of the store with a group of people, ready to go to the Li family to find out. Nangong Wushuang is deaf and clear-sighted, she sensitively grasped the key word "missing Young Master Li", she flicked her sleeves and ran out, no, the Li family's brother is gone, I have to go home first and ask my mother what the situation is before making a decision.
Meng Qingxue sat anxiously in the carriage, and several times she wanted to be angry, she saw that Lu'er on the side was endured by her. Lu'er looked at Meng Qingxue's anxious appearance, and sneered in her heart: "Why did you go earlier!" Now I know that I'm in a hurry, isn't it very majestic when I smash people's doors? It's not polite to say politely when you see someone in person. Think about Mrs. Meng's methods, how she gave birth to such an unbearable daughter, and she can quarrel with the little prefect's daughter for most of the day, and even accompany us to be hungry...... It's a shame to throw it to grandma's house...... Now it's okay, my fiancé is also missing, and he deserves ......" The hateful gaze in Lu'er's eyes swept Meng Qingxue, who noticed it and looked at Lu'er, but only saw Lu'er bowing her head and humbling her touch, Meng Qingxue blinked, thinking that it was her own delusion just now and didn't take it to heart.
Wutong Garden, Li Mansion
"Master, where did you say Yi'er went? I haven't been back since noon. At this moment, only the husband and wife were left in the room, and the posture of the Gu family's youngest daughter leaned on Li Qingjue's shoulder and whispered.
"Maybe it's with Mo Xuan outside?" Li Qing replied indifferently. Can the son still run away, the future daughter-in-law is here, madam, you think too much, but he doesn't dare to say what he thinks in his heart, he is afraid that the Gu family will not be able to resist it if he starts a fire.
"What can he and Mo Xuan do? It was he who proposed that the Dragon Boat Festival should be lively for three days, but he threw it to the master, you to do it, and when Miss Meng came, he not only didn't want to entertain well, but wanted to withdraw from the marriage, so I asked him to stay in the house and reflect on it in a fit of anger. Gu Shi remembered that his son was disobedient and was a little annoyed, so he gently pushed Li Qingjue.
"Isn't he locked in his room by you? How did you get out? Li Qingjue looked at Gu helplessly. Madame is good at everything, and her temperament is too impulsive......
"It's not that the master asked him to learn martial arts, Yi'er is good, use it on this, I really don't take my mother in my eyes." Gu Shi frowned.
"Madam, someone has already been sent to find Yi'er, you just wait for news at home, it's useless to be anxious." Li Qingjue persuaded in a low voice.
Gu wanted to say something more, but he heard Mama Zhang knocking on the door outside the door,
"Master, madam, Miss Meng is here, saying that she wants to know where the young master has gone."
"Got it, I'll go right away." After Gu finished speaking, he straightened his hair and clothes and said to Li Qingjue,
"Master rest first, I'll take a look."
"Madame, go early and come back early!" Li Qingjue sent Gu to the door and said in a low voice.
Gu replied to him with a shy little face, and walked to the living room with Mama Zhang.
Seongnam Anfu
"Big sister, why did we move again!" An He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at An Lan in confusion.
"Xiaohe, we just stayed at Brother Li's house two days ago, and now this is our home, you know?" After An Lan finished speaking, she put a chopstick meat in the small lotus bowl.
An Feng's eyes were full of smiles when he watched the interaction between the eldest sister and the younger sister, although the eldest sister didn't say it, she could also think that she must have been wronged in the Li family, no wonder the son of the Li family didn't see it today...... I must study hard and gain fame, and no one can bully my eldest sister......
"Brother, what's wrong with you, you were bullied in the academy?" An Lan saw An Feng's absent-minded look and said with concern.
"No, I got along well with my classmates at the academy today!" Can it be bad? The young master of the Shen family personally took me there, and the people who studied in the academy were all the sons of the side branches of the Shen family and some merchants, so they naturally didn't dare to bully me in order to please Young Master Shen.
"That's good." An Lan smiled and nodded, then turned to An He and said,
"Don't you want to learn how to cook? How to sleep every day, beware of becoming a little lazy pig. ”
"Eldest sister, another day!" Is it the eldest sister who let me learn well, and you still say that I, if you don't find time to teach me, how can I learn? The eldest sister is getting more and more confused......
After dinner, the three siblings went back to their respective rooms to rest after freshening up.
An Lan returned to her room, tomorrow is the eighth day of the new year, there are still a few days before the fifteenth, her silver will be used to repair the garden, and she still wants to buy a little land, which is far from enough, let's delay the matter of buying good land first! Let's wait for the opening of the garden. The Li family went to do the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival, and I couldn't share any money at all, which was really annoying, and next time I opened a store, I must be self-proprietorship...... An Lan thought that she couldn't stop the sleepiness in the back and fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Moxuan came to Anfu early, ready to send An Feng to school, but An Feng politely refused, An Lan didn't say anything when he saw this, his younger brother is going to start a family in the future, and he should learn to be independent when he should be independent.
"Young Master, why don't you let Young Master Shen send you. You have to walk to the academy. Duan Yan looked at An Feng inexplicably.
"The Master said to me yesterday that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin...... Zeng benefited from what he couldn't. ”
"I don't understand!" Duan Yan shook his head, his eyes full of confusion and incomprehension.
"You'll understand later." An Feng glanced at him and continued to walk towards the academy without squinting.
……
"Girl, today is the auspicious day of the zodiac, the craftsman has been invited, I will be fortunate to be overseen by you during this time, I can only go to see it occasionally."
"No problem, Shen Moxuan, whose craftsman are you looking for?"
"You also know, it's Xu Dayong." Shen Moxuan's eyes lit up when he said this, and he said helplessly.
"Could it be that someone is doing something wrong? Otherwise, how would you go to the craftsmen of Yongxin Town. An Lan quickly figured out the joint, could it be the Li family? Or Meng Qingxue?
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's a craftsman." You really think too much, I didn't decide to invite them after I heard Shen Zhong say that Xu Dayong and they didn't have an ordinary relationship with you, who would dare to trouble me in Taizhou City?
In the following days, Anlan was so busy that she demolished the Zhuangzi, leaving only the open space next to the pond, and dug an artificial Hu in the rest of the place, because the project was huge, and hired a lot of laborers to help dig the earth, build the embankment, and the fence of the garden and the countryside......
An Lan originally wanted to create a water world, but later discussed with Shen Moxuan to take back the land outside and transform it into a garden, and the flowers in the garden were all dug up from her aunt and grafted into pieces......
The five mountains are also paved with bluestone slabs, and the mountains have begun to raise chickens and mushrooms, so that there are not enough people, Shen Moxuan asked the original tenants to come to the garden to help, the tenants thought that the Shen family would have a hard time taking back the tenants, but they thought that their days would be even better, and now they get a fixed monthly money every month, although they have to sign that what kind of employment contract, but as long as it is not a sale~ deed.
An Lan took Xiaohe and looked at the pavilion around the pond with satisfaction, originally An Lan really planned to build a thatched house, but later he really built thatched Shen Moxuan always thought that it did not match the whole environment, and he also ordered someone to demolish and build the octagonal pavilion.
"Yes, you still have to have a little bit of land to be sure." An Lan muttered to herself.
"Big sister, it's so beautiful." Anhe exclaimed.
An Lan smiled silently. There are five roads leading to the top of the pond, all paved with bluestone slabs, guardrails on both sides, flowers are blooming next to them, and a room is built outside the guardrail to provide some rain equipment, which is good, a bit of a farmhouse. I don't know where Shen Moxuan got the wild chrysanthemums and planted them at the foot of each mountain, and what else did he say Only in this way can the phrase "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence" be highlighted, listening to his words, An Lan couldn't cry or laugh.
On this day, Anlan took advantage of the fact that no one found out, and quietly added some water from the pond and lake to some space water, and when the tenants carried the water to water the flowers and fruit trees, they also sighed that the variety of fruit trees of the owner was really good, and only after watering found that these flowers and trees came to life, and there were many flowers that bloomed very yellow and bright enough to be the size of a human face, and Miss An also said what kind of sunflower was it...... And those exotic flowers and plants are also growing very well, and there is no sign of withering at all......
Since it is a farmhouse, it is equipped with an inn and a restaurant, a three-story building built by the inn, the room is not much different from an ordinary inn, but it has been modified in details, such as the toilet and bathroom are built according to modern times, in order to study the drainage problem, Shen Moxuan asked Master Hu to help make the toilet and bathroom look satisfactory to An Lan.
Later, Shen Moxuan cheekily asked Master Hu and others to make a few large boats and a number of small boats, the big boats were used to park on the lake as restaurants and teahouses, and the small boats were used to carry people and sell snacks and souvenirs.
And the shopkeeper Shen is also busy training a group of tour guides and small stewards, Shen Moxuan not only has to manage his own shop, but also has to find time to see the progress of Guiyuan Tianju. Fortunately, there are many people and great strength, and the completion of Guiyuan Tianju was completed half a year after the start of construction, and An Lan found that if he didn't have the two thousand taels of immortal brew he sold every month, his family would only have to eat white rice porridge every day. The cost of this Guiyuan Pastoral Residence is huge, and it cost Shen Moxuan and An Lan a total of 1,500 taels of silver each, but the more it is spent, the more exquisite the natural house will be, so when Shen Moxuan saw the completed Guiyuan Pastoral Residence, his eyes straightened!
