Chapter 135 Make Your Home Green
Yang Mu, Yang Lin left, Xi'er rubbed her two temples, got up and went to the carpenter's shop.

She is really too lazy to do it, so she should hand over the work to others and let them earn some money. Anyway, the 10,000+ taels that her family earns a year can't be spent.

As long as they live in the small town, there is no one who does not know her, Luo Xier, and shopkeeper Xu of the carpentry shop is no exception.

When he saw her, it was like seeing the God of Wealth, and he was very happy.

"Miss Xi'er, you are here"

"Well, here's a job for you"

"Your family's boat was built by my family"

"That's right, that means your craftsmanship is good, let's take a look at the blueprint first."

Xi'er handed the drawing to the shopkeeper, and he took it and looked at it for a while.

"It's easy, nothing difficult"

"If you do it together with Ming cloth, there must be a strong rope on it. You can profit from the Ming cloth, but not too much. How much money does this set cost?"

Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly calculated with his abacus, "It costs 100 taels for a set including the shelves used inside, no less!"

"Remember to use real materials, the wind is strong in winter, don't blow them down"

"Of course not, don't worry"

"That's fine, let's order fifty sets first, and keep the drawings after they are done, maybe they will be used in the future"

"so much?"

"Don't worry, do it slowly, and finish it before the end of October"

"Then let's sign a paperwork?"

"Can"

After signing the paperwork, Xi'er gave him a deposit of 2000 taels, turned around and left.

The shopkeeper looked at her back, and gave her thumbs up, "You are such a cheerful girl, you are so generous in doing things, no wonder you can make a fortune."

When she got home, she counted with her fingers, and everything was almost cleared up, and she could raise flowers and read books.

So she tinkered with flowers in the house, made a pot, and moved it to the yard, and the two cooks whispered secretly in the kitchen.

"You said our lady didn't come back from shopping outside, why did you make so many flowers and plants?"

"Shhh, let's take care of the master's affairs, as long as the lady treats us well, that's fine."

"Why don't I just talk to you?"

"Our lady is not an ordinary person. We must be loyal to the lady, and we must never tell these things."

"understood"

Xi'er was transplanting winter jasmine saplings, her ears moved and her lips curled up. It seemed that the people who came from rich families were all spirits, with big eyes and tight mouths.

Things that no one else pays attention to, but these two people can see it, yes, they have a little discernment!

She made several shelves by herself, just to place flower pots on them. It's spring, and it's time to make the house green.

She also asked the cook to move the extra large square table at home to the yard. When she was tired of arranging flowers and plants, she sat in the yard, drinking tea and reading a book, not to mention how comfortable it was.

In just a few days, the yard was almost filled with flower pots, big and small, with flowers and grass, and a few fruit trees.

They are all miniature versions, covered with fruits, which are so eye-catching. Every time Mrs. Luo comes back from listening to the book, she will appreciate it for a long time, and sometimes water the flowers and plants with her hands.

Gradually, she also fell in love with growing flowers and weeds, and Xi'er was happy to hand them over to Mrs. Luo.

Sitting and listening to books for a long time is not good for the body. Letting her move around is also good for Mrs. Luo's body.

Since having these little treasures, Mrs. Luo has less time to go out to listen to books. She drinks tea and watches them in the yard when she has nothing to do.

Xi'er explained to her the maintenance knowledge of these flowers and plants, and taught her how to trim them. Mrs. Luo always stared at them, and when she saw something wrong, she went to fix it.

Xiao Tianbao also likes to play with flowers and plants, and he regards the tea tree and Clivia that Xi'er gave him as treasures.

The weather in the past two days has been fine, the wind is sunny, the sun is warm, and the temperature is rising. It happened that Xiao Jian came back from the capital.

He brought back many things from other countries to Xi'er, intending to send them to her home. Xiao Tianbao and Qiao's hadn't gone to Luo's house for a long time, so the whole family came to Luo's house except Mrs. Xiao. .

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they were all stunned, "This, this, did you go to the wrong door?"

Xi'er smiled at them, "Didn't I just plant some flowers and plants, it's impossible not to recognize the family and also recognize the people."

"How long has it been since your home has changed?"

"Sit down, you won't be looking at my flowers and plants again."

Before they entered the living room, they sat down at the big table in the courtyard. Xiao Jinmian could already walk a few steps, and her brother watched her play in the courtyard.

Nanny Zhou served them tea, and Mrs. Luo looked at her daughter making a bunch of flowers and plants for herself, her brows and eyes locked together with joy.

Seeing Mian'er wandering to a pot of orange trees, she grabbed an orange with her small hand and picked one. Qiao asked worriedly after seeing it.

"Is that edible?"

Xi'er nodded, "It's edible, it's grown from the branches cut from the orange tree,"

"Can this be potted too?"

"Why not, as long as it is properly maintained, it can bloom and bear fruit in winter like greenhouse vegetables"

"Ah, isn't it possible to eat fresh fruit in winter?"

"Hehe, a tree can only bear these fruits, enough for anyone to eat. This is a fruit tree for ornamental purposes, and I newly planted it."

Qiao walked over and picked a few fruits from the tree curiously. She put the fruits on the table, picked up the apple and took a bite.

"It's really no different from the one on the tree"

"A big tree can produce hundreds of catties of fruit, but this small tree can only bear as much. It is not worthwhile to plant this fruit in winter"

"This golden fruit tree is very eye-catching in the house. Are you planning to sell potted plants in winter?"

"I don't want to add any more property. It's enough for the family to spend. Raising this is purely to pass the time and make my mother happy."

Mrs. Luo gave Xi'er a coquettish look, "Look at how much my daughter dotes on me, and she invited me to listen to books, and she also brought me so many beautiful flowers."

"That's right, Miss Xi'er is capable and filial to you, even her own daughters can't compare to her"

"Of course." Mrs. Luo laughed arrogantly.

Only then did Xiao Jian ask the guards outside the door to pick up the things, "Xi'er, this is a special product from another country that you asked me to bring you."

She happily ran over, pulled down this basket, and then another basket.

"Not bad, very good, all things I don't have here, thank you"

"Is there any benefit?"

"I didn't ask you for anything. These years, your family can eat and take away a lot of good things from me."

"Look, it's really a food protector. I don't want too much. Just like your potted fruit tree, how about a pot?"

"No, I only have one pot"

"Do you want to cultivate again?"

"Okay, take it away, take it away, don't see someone else's house has some good things"

"Ha ha"

After talking gossip for a while, Xiao Jian got down to business.

"The emperor was furious when he found out about the murder of Prefect Han. Although he knew that there was something wrong with the murder of Prefect Han, such a blatant killing of court officials made his face very dull. Directly appoint Liang Shuhuan, son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, as the prefect of Quzhou."

"Oh? How is this person's character?"

"The Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry is called the cold-faced Hades, and his son is called the Little Hades. The father and son have the same virtues, and they have never smiled. They are always cold-faced and meticulous in doing things. A prince can be regarded as a pure minister."

"Greedy?"

"Don't be greedy, their family has their own property, and there is no shortage of money"

"Are you lustful?"

"Liang Shangshu's family has only one wife, two sons and one daughter, and they are all well-bred."

"If you don't give others a handle, you won't be manipulated by others"

"The imperial court should have sent such a person here long ago, but the two who died deserved it, as many people like that come and die, let's see who dares to come to Quzhou again to collect money."

Xi'er took a sip of water, her eyes sparkled.

"Without corrupt officials, the people in Quzhou will soon be better off, and the people around Huaishu Town will be better off."
