Under the careful care of Qing'er and Fluttershy, Xiaoya's health has improved a lot, although she is still a little weak, but her complexion and spirit are much better. Even the old woman looked a lot more radiant, and Mu Yu found that she was not so old, and there was an indescribable temperament on her body. Because her husband's surname is Qi, everyone calls her Aunt Qi.

The breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger, the camellia in the garden is full of buds, a few of which are already budding, and it has been raining in the middle of the night recently, but the sun is still shining the next day.

After breakfast, she sat next to the osmanthus tree of "Yunqixuan", chatting with her grandparents and grandchildren.

"Little girl, shall I give you a name?" Mu Yu looked at the little girl who was peeling peanuts with her head down and asked softly.

Aunt Qi is very grateful for the reception of the pastoral rumor, but she is embarrassed to be an idler in this garden, so she takes advantage of the leisure of taking care of Xiaoya to help everyone do some chores.

Hearing Mu Yu's question, the little girl raised her head, glanced at her a little timidly, and then looked at her grandmother, not knowing how to answer.

"Silly boy, don't thank you benefactor!" Aunt Qi taught her with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, benefactor!" The little girl bowed as she spoke.

The immature children's voice was very pleasant to listen to the pastoral ears, and beckoned to her: "Come, come to me." ”

The little girl obediently walked up to the pastor, and looked at her with watery eyes in confusion.

Mu Yu took her little hand: "Don't call me a benefactor in the future, call me Brother Mu Yu, what about me, just call you Yingge, do you say okay?" "This little girl was born delicate, with a pair of big eyes clear and bright, and she really liked it in her heart.

"Good!" Xiaoya nodded vigorously, a shy smile appeared on her little face, and she still didn't forget to turn her head to look at her grandmother.

Aunt Qi had tears in her eyes and nodded at her with a smile.

The housekeeper Lu Wu walked up the steps and came to the pastor: "Childe, the young man is here." ”

"Ask him to go to the Wind Smoke Pavilion and say I'll go over right away." I was thinking about looking for him, so I came by myself.

Mu Yu got up and straightened his clothes and walked towards the "Wind and Smoke Pavilion".

There is no special meeting place in this garden, only a small living room downstairs in the "Fengyan Pavilion", it is estimated that the owner of the garden only regards this place as a leisure garden, and occasionally comes to sit.

Qing Ming sat at the stone table in front of the Wind and Smoke Pavilion, studying an unfinished game of chess on the table. The reason for the research is not because of how exquisite the game is, but because it is unorganized and makes people wonder.

"You set up this chess game?" Qing Ming looked at the approaching Mu Yu and asked with a smile.

Mu Yu was slightly stunned, looked at the chessboard on the table, and said embarrassedly: "It's just a fun game, uh, it's not a chess game." She went up and messed up the pieces as she spoke.

If you want to talk about this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she understands everything, but she doesn't know everything. For example, this chess, according to the stinky old man, is bullshit, saying that she doesn't understand tactics by nature, and she is doomed to fail miserably with only a reckless rampage.

Therefore, Mu Yu doesn't like to play chess the most, and he was too bored before, so he took it out to entertain himself and fiddle with it, where did he dare to take it out to meet people.

Qing Ming smiled lightly.

Mu Yu asked Qing'er to put away the chessboard, make hot tea, and sat opposite him with a smile: "I didn't expect the gentle and elegant Qing Ming Gongzi to be a rich man who is famous in this Changli country, and Mu Yu really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai!" There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Don't make fun of me, it's just for my livelihood, and Qing Ming can't help himself."

"You are so modest, I won't go around the bush with you, I heard that you are running a medicinal herb and cloth business, I just want to open a medical hall and a garment shop, I don't know if our small shop can be favored by the young man and cooperate again?" She got straight to the point and said what she thought.

"Oh? Do you want to be a businessman too? Qing Ming raised his eyebrows lightly and took a sip of hot tea.

"As you say, it's just for the sake of livelihood." Mu Yu also picked up the teacup.

Qing Ming shook his head and smiled: "You are really good at laughing, how can people who can buy gardens at will worry about their livelihood." ”

"People always have to eat and dress when they live, I don't have the rich family wealth left by my ancestors, and I can't turn into silver, why don't I worry about my livelihood? By the way, what did the owner of this garden say? ”

"The owner of the garden said that he was not short of money and had no intention of selling it." Qing Ming looked at Mu Yu's expectant expression and said slowly.

Mu Yu retracted his gaze and gently blew the foam of the tea, "In this way, he refuses to give in to me." ”

"No, he just said he wouldn't sell it, but he didn't say he couldn't give it away." Seeing Mu Yu's face of surprise, Qing Ming's face spread a narrow smile: "He said, the layout design of this garden, every flower and tree is according to his wishes, if you really like it, it can be regarded as fate, as long as you are willing to promise to do three things for him, then this garden will be given to you." ”

"How's that going to work! If he wanted me to kill people and set fires, I would never have agreed. Mu Yu's expression changed a few times, and finally put down the teacup and said solemnly.

Qing Ming laughed silently: "If you really want to kill people and set fires, just hire a killer, let you go, I'm afraid it will be bad." ”

One sentence blocked the pastoral rumors, and he could only widen his eyes to express his dissatisfaction: "Say, what three things to do?" ”

"He said that there is no urgency now, and he will bring you a message when he needs it, and after the three things are done, the title deed of the garden will be presented."

"Not in a hurry?! If he hadn't thought of making one until ten or eight years apart, wouldn't I have to wait? "This man is really grinding at work.

"Afraid of what? Doesn't the garden let you live well, if you agree, you won't even have to pay rent in the future. Qing Ming looked at the small field of jasmine flowers next to him.

Mu Yu also looked at the small jasmine field, pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, I promise, the premise is that it must not violate benevolence and morality, and it must be something that I can do." "You can only do three things in exchange for this garden, no matter how you count it, it is a business that only makes money and does not lose money.

"That's nature. Now that the matter has been settled, I will take my leave first, and if you are free, you are welcome to come to the house as a guest. Qing Ming prepared to leave with a satisfied smile.

"Hey, wait, you haven't answered about our cooperation!" The pastor got up and looked at him.

Qing Ming paused and said with a light smile: "Since you have spoken, I should do my best." Send someone to take the token you gave you last time to the shop in my name, and someone will do it. ”

"So, I'm thankful in advance! Rest assured, you won't regret your decision today! The pastoral rumor looked like he was winning, just like when he swore that he would "redeem the soul".

Qing Ming nodded, gave her an appreciative look, and turned to leave.
