Mu Qiyue left, leaving Mu Qingqi alone in the study to digest the fact that Chang Tianlei was still alive, and now he wanted to go to the palace immediately to tell the emperor, but thinking of Mu Qiyue's words, he was afraid that the emperor would have the eyes and ears of the mastermind behind the frame of General Chang, in case it was known, and he was afraid of bringing danger to Chang Tianlei.

So after thinking about it, Mu Qingqi decided to keep this secret.

Lin Zhu, who was far away in Linjia Village, didn't care about the affairs of the capital at all, and at this time she and Du Heng were surveying the terrain in the bamboo garden.

The matter of Fuzhuang and Anyuan has been settled, and the servants there have all arrived here in Zhuyuan. Although some people have many houses, they can build houses quickly, and within a few days, they have built more than a dozen houses as their temporary accommodation.

Steward Song, the head of the bamboo garden, hurriedly came to find Lin Zhu, who was accompanying Du Heng to observe around.

"I've seen the girl." Song Guan met Lin Zhu in advance.

"Why is Steward Song so anxious?" Lin Zhu was still very polite to the people who did things for him.

"Girl, the Wu family next to our Zhuangzi has more than 200 acres of land here, I heard that it is going to be sold, and the steward of their Zhuangzi knows that you are here today, and I specially asked the villain to ask the girl if she is interested?" Steward Song was a little unsure in his heart, Lin Zhu had sold all Fuzhuang and Anyuan, how could he buy land again, but because the relationship between the two was not bad on weekdays, Steward Song had to come over and ask.

In fact, this behavior of his is somewhat inappropriate, if it is a stern master. At least he had to reprimand him a few words, although Lin Zhu didn't want to blame him for anything, but he was also a little displeased, just refused, but Du Heng next to him pulled her sleeve and slightly motioned her to the side.

"Grandpa Du, what's the matter?" Lin Zhu followed his meaning and walked to a place about ten meters away from Steward Song.

"Actually, the old man is a bit arrogant in bringing up this matter, but since you invited the old man to come over to build your garden better, there is a sentence. The old man still wants to remind you. Du Heng paused. Pointing to the road outside the bamboo garden, he said, "The road from here is a little narrow, because if you buy all these fields from here." You can build a new road. It is very good for the planning of the garden. ”

Lin Zhu looked in the direction he was pointing. found that his Zhuangzi was indeed surrounded by other people's fields, and it didn't matter if it was some crops, after all, Tian Ridge Dao also saw the past. But if it is turned into a courtyard according to Lin Zhu's idea, it will be a little inappropriate.

She nodded, then walked up to Steward Song and instructed him, "You go to Uncle Chang Shi first to talk about this, and let him come forward to ask about this Wu family." Lin Zhu slapped Steward Song lightly and heavily.

"Yes." Steward Song heard Lin Zhu speak like this at this time, and he was also a little uneasy, he already understood that although his master was young, he saw it very clearly, and it was really a little unsmart for him to go beyond the regular manager and come directly to her. So he retreated with some embarrassment.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have some means at a young age." Du Heng saw everything in his eyes, and nodded appreciatively at Lin Zhu's way of doing things.

"Grandpa Du praised me too much, I'm far behind you." Lin Zhu chuckled and said, but he had a plan in his heart, it seems that the bamboo garden has to be rectified here, otherwise there will be no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys will make a fuss and be called the king.

"Hahaha, you." Du Heng pointed at Lin Zhu and smiled, no longer continuing the topic, but turning to the design of the courtyard.

Since Old Man Du told Lin Zhu that this place is not very suitable for purebred flower fields to decorate the courtyard, Lin Zhu has thought about setting aside a place on the periphery or a separate place for flower fields. I told Mr. Du about this idea again.

Du Heng thought for a while and said, "It's okay for you to have this idea, but you can't choose too expensive flowers, otherwise it's not easy to take care of, and it's not easy to feed." ”

"I've thought about that, too, and if I can, I'm going to separate these places. Spring, summer, autumn and winter or plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum. What do you think? Lin Zhu thinks that it will be a garden-style courtyard with various themes, and it should be very good to live in at that time.

"Well, it's a good idea, the stream over there can also be drawn over, and a small bridge and flowing water can be built between the house and the garden, but you don't seem to want to use too many rockeries here, right?" In the conversation with Lin Zhu, Mr. Du vaguely guessed that Lin Zhu only wanted to decorate the courtyard with flowers and trees, and some of the things that moved the people didn't want to be put here. As soon as he mentioned rockeries and the like, Lin Zhu frowned.

"Well, these things are not very lucky, it is better to be able to use local materials, anyway, this place is close to the mountains and rivers, and it is enough to have such a big mountain behind." Lin Zhu pointed to the mountain to the east. "There seems to be a place in the mountains where you can build some houses and stuff."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhu suddenly thought, is he too tyrant, since he decided to live in the suburbs of the capital, and designed such a large courtyard here, just for a leisurely vacation, is it a bit too luxurious.

"Grandpa Du, am I a little too dazzling?" Lin Zhu looked at Du Heng a little shyly.

"Indeed. The old man didn't expect to build such a garden. Du Heng nodded, paused for a while and said, "However, this is understandable, you can do whatever you want in your own place." The garden is surrounded by fields, and it can be divided into several small gardens, and if you don't enclose the fence, it is not considered to be overstepping. ”

Lin Zhu only remembered here that this ancient house could not be repaired casually. However, because she is in the countryside here, it is not so strict, if it were in the capital, she might only be able to live in a house in three or two, and she feels too aggrieved to think about it. Fortunately, the newly found place is on the outskirts of the capital.

"Grandpa Du, if I get to the edge of the capital, won't my house be too big?" Lin Zhu takes precautions.

"Well, it's okay to have a bigger yard than you have in Linjia Village, but you can't use fifty acres just to build a courtyard like in Zhuyuan." Du Heng nodded.

"Oh," Lin Zhu said he understood. However, although the rules cannot be changed, then she can decorate her future home in another way, as long as she builds a vegetable garden, a wolfberry garden, a vineyard and other gardens on the periphery of the house. You can eat and see at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

It didn't take long for Chang Shi to come to Lin Zhu. It just so happened that Lin Zhu was also tired, and her small body really couldn't go far in this field.

"Grandpa Du, let's go back first, we'll see the rest later, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Lin Zhu felt that Du Heng should also take a rest, no matter how strong the old man in his fifties was, he should be tired after walking for half a day.

"Okay, then go back first, just look at the mountain again in the future, the old man here probably has seen the terrain almost the same."

So the three of them went back to the house where the bamboo garden was resting.

"Girl, I've asked about that family." Chang Shi first reported to Lin Zhu what he learned about Wu's field. "His family's land is more than 230 acres, which just surrounds the land of the bamboo garden, but the outside of them is the official road, and there is a small lake in his land, and the lake is not dry all year round, so Master Wu made a price of ten taels of silver per acre of land, because we are close, I specially came to ask."

"Uncle Chang Shi, what do you think?"

"I think the land is good, but I don't know much about the details of this Wu family, and I have to think about it again." Chang Shi is very satisfied with the ground, but he is skeptical of people.

"Uncle Chang thinks that this Master Wu is not the owner of this land?" Lin Zhu raised her eyebrows, if this is really the case, then is there a problem with Steward Song, who came to inform her.

"I don't think it's too quick to make a decision, and it's not too late to make a plan when we find out their details." Chang Shi's move was also for Lin Zhu's good, so Lin Zhu agreed.

"Uncle Chang also wants to inquire, why did you sell such a good land? The previous events of the Wang family are also a lesson from the past. "Lin Zhu doesn't want to come all the way from the capital to solve troubles like the Wang family in the future.

This is the place where she is bent on building a beautiful courtyard.

Chang Shi nodded when he heard this, and met Steward Song who was walking around in the courtyard, he saw Chang Shi, stepped forward, and asked with a salivating face, "Steward Chang, did the girl agree?" There was some urgency in his voice.

Chang Shi frowned and looked at him, a little suspicious of his behavior, "It's not your business, why do you want to go." However, he didn't want to let him know his suspicions about him without finding out the details of the Wu family.

Looking at Chang Shi's departure, Steward Song had some resentment in his eyes, obviously he was the same steward, why did he look like he was superior. Because the bamboo garden is planted with peppers and potatoes, the price is very high, and the Song steward gradually swelled up a little, and compared with other people in the Zhuangzi a few times, he felt as if he was superior, and because Lin Zhu did not often go to the Zhuangzi, he actually picked up the master's party outside.

Although the others in Zhuangzi couldn't get used to it, he didn't deduct money and food, so he just turned a blind eye to him. No one thought of beating his little report, which made him think that those people were afraid of him, and he had a sense of superiority, until the people from Fuzhuang and Anyuan came over, and Steward Song restrained a little.

But now, the Wu family has promised him benefits from selling the land, and the land price is a little high, but as long as Lin Zhu agrees to buy it, he will seal fifty taels of silver to the Song steward, and the Wu family's idea is also very right, compared to the money given to the tooth bank, the fifty taels given to the Song steward are also considered a small head.

That's why Steward Song was a little eager, but he didn't expect that because of this, Lin Zhu and Chang Shi would doubt his character.

Although Chang Shi did not find anything wrong with the Wu family, the position of Song Steward was replaced by Zhao Da. (To be continued......)
