Chapter 37 Discrimination
"Girl, what do you think of my clothes?"
When the flower steward came back, Mu Chonglan was holding a hoe and figuring out how to loosen the soil for the flower garden, she remembered that the farmers in Xiao Xiantang's tea garden did this, but when the flower steward shouted, she was not paying attention to the barb on the hoe in her palm, and subconsciously threw the hoe out.
The hoe flew directly to the flower steward, and the flower steward froze for a moment, and hurriedly dodged it, looking a little embarrassed.
"Steward Hua, are you alright?" Mu Chonglan couldn't care about his palm, and hurriedly ran over.
Shaking the sleeves made of brocade, the flower steward saw that his sleeves were smashed by a hoe, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue.
Mu Chonglan also noticed this, and blushed: "How much silver is in your clothes, I'll pay you." ”
"It's okay, it's not mine." The flower steward said casually.
"What?"
"It's nothing, I'm talking nonsense." The flower steward smiled dryly, and seeing that Mu Chonglan still had the meaning to ask, he hurriedly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, you have enough hoes: "Really?" ”
"Really, in the future, you will walk the rivers and lakes with this hoe, and you will definitely be able to smash the invincible opponents all over the world." The flower steward smiled, and with a little tiptoe, the hoe came into his hand, and he stuffed the hoe back into Mu Chonglan's hand.
Mu Chonglan only reacted after getting the hoe, he was obviously being tricked, so he lowered his head.
"Why, so lost."
"It's nothing, I just feel like I can't learn anything."
"Can't learn anything?"
"Hmm." Mu Chonglan nodded vigorously: "They all said behind my back that I was a good-looking waste wood." ”
"Good-looking?"
"Hmm." Mu Chonglan nodded vigorously again, from childhood to adulthood, she just couldn't learn anything, she couldn't learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female celebrity cooking skills were not good, she could fry utensils with fragrance, she could fly hoes when farming, and the only thing she could see was riding and archery and some fist and foot kung fu, but when she came to Dadu and saw Mo Xiang's skills, she found that she knew that she knew that little fist and foot kung fu and was proud, it was really stupid.
The flower steward's lips trembled, remembering the 'braised pig's head' he saw when he picked up the tulle, and he couldn't think of what the eyes of those who praised Mu Chonglan were, but seeing that Mu Chonglan was so determined, he guessed in his heart that she should have relied on fantasy to survive until now, so he patted her shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, no one will be a complete wastewood, as long as you find something suitable for you, you will definitely achieve something." ”
"Really?" Mu Chonglan was full of expectations.
The flower steward hesitated, but there was still no way to clear his conscience: "Fake." ”
"Uh......"
"Don't worry, there are so many waste firewood in this world, there is no more than you, no less than you, I see that you don't even have a thin callus in your palm, you must be a delicate girl, just feel at ease to be a waste of firewood and wait for death."
After the flower steward finished speaking, he patted his ass and left, if it weren't for the fact that he bought a pot of good wine from the silver he robbed from Mu Chonglan, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of Mu Chonglan.
Mu Chonglan looked at his back and muttered to himself: "I don't know what he said makes sense, what's the matter?" No, no, no, I don't want to eat and wait for death. ”
Mu Chonglan secretly made up his mind, and then continued to study the great cause of ploughing the ground and loosening the soil.
After working all afternoon, Mu Chonglan turned the ground into a mess, and the people who came to take over saw the flowers and plants in the flower garden staggering, and almost didn't have a crooked nose, just because Mu Chonglan was also Liu Xu's introductory disciple, he just dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and scolded Mu Chonglan, an ugly monster, half to death in his heart, and he had to be polite on the surface, which made Mu Chonglan mistakenly think that everyone was very kind, and he ate an extra bowl when he went to eat at night, which caused many people to look sideways.
Mu Chonglan thought that she had eaten too much, and put down the dishes and chopsticks a little shyly, in fact, how did she know that the reason why everyone looked at her was because she was also Liu Xu's apprentice, and her status was not lower than that of Liu Linlang, a young lady, and the meals were all in a small stove, and she didn't have to eat a big pot of rice like the next people, didn't she see that Liu Xu's other apprentice, Mu Jinse, was waiting in the room for someone to deliver food?
Oh, yes, the steward on the mountain is the master who is the best at reading dishes, so seeing that this ugly Miss Mu Xiaoxiao is not favored by Liu Xu, she didn't prepare a separate place for her to live at all, no wonder she was so downtrodden that she had to eat with them.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Mu Chonglan with sympathy.
Mu Chonglan didn't know what was going on, and thought that everyone was the same, so even if she was very unaccustomed to it, she couldn't sleep at night because of the pain of blood blisters on her hands and feet, but she was not lazy.
Mu Chonglan's talent is not high, but he is diligent and inquisitive, so nothing has gone wrong.
The flower steward always likes to appear when Mu Chonglan is alone guarding the flower garden, but he never wants to give a pointer, and sometimes he has to steal some flowers and plants and say that he wants to sell them for wine.
Mu Chonglan was anxious and annoyed to stop him, so he instigated Mu Chonglan to help him make wine, and also told Mu Chonglan a lot of which in this flower garden is used to make wine tastes the best, which wines are the fastest, and how to promote wine.
Thinking about it this way, Mu Chonglan really learned to make wine, at first it was just fruit wine, then flower wine, and then even a few pots of medicinal wine.
The flower steward is not picky, he drinks whatever wine Mu Chonglan makes, and he doesn't even wait for the wine to be stored and fragrant, and he can dig it out when he is happy when he is halfway through, so he gets drunk every day, leaving Mu Chonglan alone to listen to the flower farmers discuss how the flower thief is crazy every day, picking the best flowers and plants to steal, and he is not afraid of falling into the pool and drowning halfway.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, Zhu Rongshan lifted the ban, Mo Xiang saw that Mu Chonglan had no intention of going down the mountain, so he went up the mountain to deliver necessities, Mu Chonglan asked her to send a batch of flowers, plants, melons and fruits, although Mo Xiang wondered why she needed to use melons and fruits to learn perfumery, but she still did it.
These days Mu Chonglan is on the mountain, in addition to living at the bottom of the mountain, she also goes to the inn every day to learn perfume from Ayou's mother and daughter, but she doesn't waste much spice practice, so when she sends flowers, plants, melons and fruits, she also sent spices up by the way, and handed Mu Chonglan a codex, the codex is what Ayou said, and what she wrote is some experience in fragrance.
Ayou, the little master, was very attentive to Mu Chonglan, which made Mu Chonglan very moved, and asked about Ayu's whereabouts, Mo Xiang just shook her head, saying that Ayou's mother and daughter quietly left in the night, if Mu Chonglan wanted to know where they were, she could check.
Mu Chonglan thought about it and shook his head, since they secretly left, it means that they don't want them to know, and they may even be wary of them, so why should they investigate again, they will always see each other again.
Mo Xiang was noncommittal, and briefly mentioned Xiao Xiantang's plan to leave Dadu at the end of the month, which was only ten days away.
Mu Chonglan nodded, she originally planned to try to stay in Dadu, but after going up the mountain for so many days, every day except for hearing how Mu Jinse how to make a rare fragrance in a hundred years, Liu Xu didn't want to teach her to mix fragrance, and even except for the day of the apprenticeship, she didn't see Liu Xu again, presumably there was no hope, and these ten days were enough time to make the batch of flowers, plants, melons and fruits in her hand into wine for the flower manager, and it didn't hurt to leave.
