Chapter 232: The Stupid Son of the Landlord's Family
Seeing the familiar orange tree, Xia Yan's thoughts couldn't help but drift into the distance.
"Mu Fan, why are you planting an orange tree here?" Xia Yan pouted, glaring angrily at the young man who was digging hard, "You dare to break orange branches without my consent?" Do you know that this is my treasure to make money, if people know that there is an orange tree here, how can I sell those oranges grown at home? ”
As if dissatisfied with Xia Yan's nagging, Mu Fan frowned, took out a stack of paper from his arms, stuffed it into Xia Yan's arms, and said in a low voice: "Take it." ”
"I'm talking to you about business, why are you stuffing me with a pile of paper, are you ......" Xia Yan looked down and was suddenly stunned.
What Mu Fan gave her was nothing else, but a stack of silver tickets with a face value of 1,000, as for how many there were, I had to count them to know.
"What does that mean?" Xia Yan held the silver ticket in front of Mu Fan and shook it a few times, "Show that you are richer than me?" ”
"For you." Mu Fan pushed the silver ticket back, "Exchange it for a sapling for you." ”
"Forehead......" Xia Yan was speechless for a while, holding the silver ticket and not knowing what to say.
Accept? Still not acceptable?
If she accepted, Xia Yan was really embarrassed, although she didn't know how many silver tickets she had in her hand, but the thick feel told her that it was not a small amount.
To tell the truth, an orange sapling is not worth so much silver at all, even the oranges on the entire tree can't be sold so much, not to mention that without the watering of the spiritual spring water, the ordinary orange tree can't become the climate.
But if you don't accept it......
Xia Yan looked at Mu Fan, who was digging in the soil, he had known him for so long, and it was not a big deal to give him a sapling, but why did he feel so hot?
Xu felt Xia Yan's gaze, Mu Fan stopped the movement in his hand, looked at her, and asked, "Isn't the silver enough?" ”
"No......" Xia Yan immediately changed his words, "Of course it's not enough, my orange tree is the only one in the sky and the earth, how can it be planted by you so casually?" ”
"But......" Mu Fan glanced at the sapling that he folded, "I heard that there are also orange trees in the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, although the growth is not good, and the fruit is far inferior to yours, but it is also an orange anyway, how can it become that only you have it in heaven and earth?" ”
"How can that orange compare to mine?" Xia Yan glanced at Mu Fan, "What's more, their orange saplings were also broken off from my tree." ”
"Why can't I plant when they can plant?" Mu Fan crooked his lips and smiled, "I heard that you didn't even have a penny of silver for that sapling." ”
"How do you know?" Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, the orange trees of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce did not receive any money themselves, and they did not even agree, those were stolen by them without permission, and after a few years, the saplings may have borne fruit.
Xia Yan didn't bother to inquire about this, after all, those orange trees were destined to become the climate.
Taking 10,000 steps back, if it really produces high-quality oranges, the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce will not purchase large quantities from itself every year.
What's more, stealing saplings is such an unsightly thing, and the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce will definitely not put it on the table.
Even what she didn't know about, how did Mu Fan, a person who had nothing to do with her, know?
Facing Xia Yan's question, Mu Fan didn't answer directly, but just smiled proudly: "I know everything, as long as it's what I want to know, nothing can be hidden from me." ”
"Pretending to be ......" Xia Yan muttered silently in his heart, and couldn't help but give Mu Fan a roll of his eyes again.
Why didn't I find out that this kid still had this kind of problem before, and he pretended to be something at every turn, which really made people feel disillusioned with this good-looking face.
"They are stealing ......" Xia Yan suddenly felt that it was really boring to argue with Mu Fan, swallowed the rest of the words, and put the stack of silver tickets into his arms, "Forget it, whatever you want, this orange tree has been sold to you, you can toss as much as you want." ”
"Hmm." Mu Fan responded softly, and his attention was almost entirely focused on planting trees.
At this moment, he had dug the pit, put the orange tree into the pit, and carefully backfilled the soil, for fear that the shovel would touch the orange tree and cause some damage.
Maybe he had never done this kind of thing, Mu Fan's technique of planting trees was so unfamiliar that he couldn't do it, so he was anxious to make Xia Yan go crazy on the side.
I've seen clumsiness, but I've never seen such clumsiness.
The appearance of digging a pit just now is quite decent, how can I be stupid like this when I planted a tree?
"What about you, can't you straighten the tree first and then fill in the soil?" Xia Yan couldn't help but remind, "You should bury more soil at the root of the tree......
Seeing that the sapling was crooked to the side, Mu Fan had just straightened it, and before he could take a few breaths, it fell down again.
Hearing Xia Yan's reminder, Mu Fan immediately obediently did so, but somehow, the sapling fell to the side disobediently.
"Hey, you're stupid." Xia Yan couldn't help it, and stepped forward to take the shovel in Mu Fan's hand, "You stand by the tree, and I'll do the rest." ”
Perhaps knowing that he didn't have the talent to plant trees, Mu Fan didn't refute Xia Yan abnormally, but obediently stood up with the saplings and didn't move.
After a while, Xia Yan planted the orange tree, wiped a handful of sweat and smiled proudly at Mu Fan, and said, "How about it, I'm amazing." ”
"Well, my Ah Yan is amazing." Mu Fan replied softly.
"What's yours and mine." A lump of red glow flew up Xia Yan's cheek, "Didn't I tell you not to call me that." ”
"Hmm."
"Uh-huh." Xia Yan couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes, "Anyway, you can't remember." ”
"Hmm."
"Why are you still there? What is such a perfunctory person, if you don't want to answer, don't ......" Xia Yan glared at Mu Fan, and then realized why he was so perfunctory.
I saw Mu Fan holding a ball of intertwined red silk, untying it little by little with a gentle movement, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, his attention was almost completely focused on the ball of silk, and he didn't listen carefully to what Xia Yan said at all.
In a moment, the silk was completely unraveled, forming a long red ribbon.
Seeing that Mu Fan had finished the work at hand, Xia Yan couldn't help but step forward and asked, "What's the name of this fabric, it's very beautiful." ”
In the spirit of "dying to save face", Xia Yan was originally not going to deal with Mu Fan, but the red was so good-looking, she swore that she had never seen such a beautiful fabric since she was a child.
If nothing else, just the red pattern that seems to be there is nothing is amazing.
Under the sunlight, this red is slightly reflected, and the silky and supple texture all shows luxury and nobility.
It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and the trait that she can't walk when she encounters beautiful things, even if it is Xia Yan, she can't avoid it.
Therefore, Xia Yan decided that in order to figure out what this was, the dignity and face should be put aside first.
"This is Yunjin." Finally untied the messy ribbon, Mu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah Yan, do you like it?" ”
"Of course I do." Xia Yan couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and sure enough, as she guessed, it felt extremely smooth, but it was soft and delicate, and when she lifted it gently, she almost didn't feel the weight.
This touch made her suddenly understand why this kind of fabric is called cloud brocade, maybe only clouds will have such a soft and delicate feel.
She really liked this Yunjin so much, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and asked, "Where did you buy this Yunjin?" ”
"There's nowhere to buy it." Mu Fan shook his head, "Even a thousand taels of gold can't get such a piece." ”
"Nowhere to buy?" Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, and then yelled at him, "You are less confused about me, where did you get it from nowhere?" ”
"My mother left it for me." Mu Fan seemed to remember something, and his expression darkened, "I'm afraid there is only one horse in the whole world." ”
"That'...... That's really ...... Right...... I'm sorry. Knowing that he had evoked Mu Fan's bad memories, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel guilty, and suddenly lost the interest in buying Yunjin, and comforted softly, "Since it's such a precious thing, you have to put it away." ”
"It's precious, but when it's time to use it, you can't afford to give it up." As he spoke, Mu Fan took out a bell from his arms and tied it to one end of Yunjin.
Xia Yan took a closer look at the bell, the fine color and delicate carved patterns all proved that it was very valuable.
"Local tyrants." Xia Yan silently gave Mu Fan a roll of the eyes in his heart, and only this young master who didn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt could make such a generous move, isn't it just a bell, just ring, what do you do to make it look so good? He also wants to tie a rare cloud brocade on it, what is he going to do?
Just when he was puzzled, Xia Yan saw Mu Fan walking to the orange tree with Yun Jin and the bell, looking in one direction, and then tied Yun Jin to the orange tree, and finally did not forget to adjust the direction of the bell, facing the direction he was looking at just now.
"You...... You...... You ......" Xia Yan stammered a little in surprise, "You...... You actually tied this unique, priceless, hard-to-find thing to a tree? Are you stupid? It turns out that you are really a stupid son of the landlord's family! But no matter how much money you have, you can't be so foolish! ”
"It means a lot to me here, and it's far from being comparable to Yunjin." Mu Fan chuckled and shook his head, "I want to make a mark here, but if I tie it with other things, how can I show that this place is special?" Besides, there is nothing else worthy of this orange tree you gave me. ”
"Who gave it to you?" Xia Yan pursed his lips and muttered softly, "Obviously, you bought it with your own money." ”
"As long as you give it to me, it's the most special thing for me." Mu Fan obviously heard Xia Yan's muttering, "My silver is your silver, you just took your own silver and gave me an orange tree by the way." ”
"Strong words." It wasn't the first time Xia Yan had heard Mu Fan's remarks, but he still couldn't help but blush.
She didn't want to discuss with Mu Fan about who the silver was, anyway, she had already taken it into her arms, and it was impossible for Mu Fan to leave even if he wanted to.
So she decided to divert the topic and asked, "Is there a treasure here, otherwise how can it be worth you to use Yunjin as a mark?" ”
