Tianyuan Fenghuajing

Chapter 98
The third place is a big banyan tree.

The branches of the banyan tree are as thick as three people's circles, and its crown is so big that it seems to block out the sky.

Standing under its canopy, Muyun can see that its branches and leaves are covered with red silk and satin, and there are some small wooden signs tied under the silk and satin, on which various small wishes are written.She looked at the small wooden signs shaking in the wind, and said to Lin Jinyan:

"Walking to the east, after crossing the sea, there is a country. People in that country believe in this huge banyan tree and think it can become a sacred tree. They will also surround it and worship it from time to time. The wish will be fulfilled by the sacred tree. I think this tree is probably a sacred tree."

After listening to her, Lin Jinyan asked:

"Then do you have any wishes that you want to achieve? You can write them on it."

His eyes were gentle, and she looked at him with peace in her heart.

She said:
"My wish is to be with you forever. This wish has already begun. If I want to fulfill this wish, we need to work together. Are you willing to go on with me?"

Mu Yun looked at him seriously.

Lin Jinyan embraced her in his arms and said:

"I am willing."

Suddenly there was a wind, and the small wooden signs on the banyan tree were rattling, as if they were blessing the couple under the banyan tree, and hoped that they would grow old together for a long time.

a few days later.

Mu Yun was suddenly very curious about where Lin Jinyan was hunting, and asked him to take her to explore.

She thought of how they used to go exploring in the mountains and forests of Chengdonggou, and the laughter and laughter of the two of them shook the entire forest.

How could Lin Jinyan refuse her request?
While holding her hand, he said on the road:

"Ji Ge introduced me to the suburbs before, and told me about a forest. Half of that forest was divided into the city as a hunting ground for the royal family; the other part was used as a hunting ground for the hunters in the city. There is a not-so-narrow isolation zone, in order to prevent the animals raised privately by the royal family from being infected by wild animals, thus disturbing the hunting interest of the royal nobles."

When she heard Lin Jinyan's explanation, she felt a chill in her heart.

Isn't the division of the hunting grounds equivalent to those nobles dividing the common people into ranks and ranks?

Although she thought so, she didn't say it.

She was looking forward to seeing what the forest in the royal hunting ground looked like, and she cherished the time when she came out with him very much.

After arriving at the place.

Only then did Mu Yun realize that this forest was no different from ordinary forests.

Lin Jinyan pulled Mu Yun to a river across the capital and asked her to walk around here. He took the hunting tools and went to the forest to hunt.

She knew that every city had to pass through a river, because this river was used to surround the city to form a moat, which was convenient for offensive and defensive warfare, and at the same time, this river was also a necessary source of nourishment for the entire city.

With her mind wide open, she thought, if the city gate is sealed, there will be people sneaking in and out of the river. Wouldn't it be more convenient for the enemy during the war?

While thinking this way, Mu Yun admired the scenery.

By the way, she picked some herbs or useful spices, and she carried a small suitcase with her.

There are many small grids in this suitcase, which are used to store different medicinal materials or spices.

When Mu Yun filled the suitcase, Lin Jinyan had already shot a deer back.

The appearance of the deer was probably that of a human in his youth, so Lin Jinyan didn't have much difficulty dragging it.

Seeing Mu Yun's surprised eyes, he said:
"We'll eat venison tonight, and the deer skin can be made into clothes."

After Mu Yun heard his words, her heart moved.

The two chatted on the way back.

Mu Yun told Lin Jinyan her guess just now.

He laughed and said:

"You and I thought of one place. I saw such a scene here at the time, and told Ji Ge about this guess. Ji Ge laughed at me at the time and said, how could it be so easy for people to break in, Iron gates and some obstacles have been added to the river, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter and leave the river easily."

this afternoon.

Mu Yun made a whole deer feast, and invited Ji Ge and Xu Jiaying to have a big meal at home.

Xu Jiaying repeatedly praised Mu Yun's craftsmanship.

After Lin Jinyan peeled off the deerskin, Mu Yun saw that the whole piece of deerskin would just make a vest and jacket.

It's almost autumn now, and the clothes are getting thicker, and I can make a vest, which is also warm and close-fitting, just right.

After Xu Jiaying had eaten, she saw Mu Yun tinkering with the deerskin. She squatted beside Mu Yun, covering her nose, and secretly thought that the smell was really bad.

She said:
"Is your buckskin for clothes?"

Xu Jiaying said with some hope in her eyes.

She is wearing a moon-white shirt today, and a few auspicious clouds are embroidered on the shirt in vermilion.

Mu Yun glanced at the clothes and said:

"You said if I draw some patterns on this deerskin, will the clothes made of this deerskin look better?"

After hearing this, Xu Jiaying's eyes lit up, and she said:

"Will you embroider on this buckskin?"

Mu Yun shook her head and said:
"No, I just want to find some dyes that are easy to dye and draw some patterns on this deerskin."

Xu Jiaying frowned and said:
"If you want those paints, will you destroy this buckskin and change its texture? Besides, I haven't seen anyone paint patterns on the buckskin..."

When she said this, she suddenly realized something, stopped talking, looked at Mu Yun in surprise, and asked:
"Don't tell me you want to make this buckskin into outerwear, otherwise, even if you draw a pattern, it will be useless."

Mu Yun listened and nodded.

In the world before she traveled, those fur products were worn directly outside the clothes to show wealth and status.People in ancient times would seldom wear these leather products outside, but wear these furs backwards-that is, put the hairy part close to the body, and expose the smoother side to the outside.This kind of deerskin is generally not worn outside, but a layer of outer shirt should be put on the fur coat to cover the inside.

Mu Yun's idea is very bold, but Jiaying believes in her design.

After all, since she came to the capital, the clothes on the display stand in her shop have become popular in the entire capital.

So Xu Jiaying gritted her teeth and nodded, saying:

"If you want to do it, do it, and I will definitely support you."

Mu Yun was moved. She recalled some of the dyes she had learned at the Zuohua tailor shop in the town. She chose a dye that would not harm animal fur and was dyed for a long time to draw a pattern of auspicious clouds on the deerskin. .

Then she cut the whole piece of deerskin into a deerskin vest, and added a circle of white piping with some dark patterns embroidered on the piping.At the open placket, double-layer deerskin is nailed to make the vest look more atmospheric.

The next morning.

She put the buckskin vest on the "simple model" on the display stand, and matched her with a pure white coat and a dormitory skirt.

At first glance, this attire is a bit strange, but after carefully distinguishing its charm, one finds that although this suit is elegant, it reveals a kind of wildness, which makes people feel a little fear in their hearts when they look at it from a distance.

At the beginning, the girls came to the store and pointed at the suit, but no one dared to try it on.

When a girl had the courage to reach for the vest, Mu Yun said aloud:

"You can't try on this dress, it's the treasure of our store. But it's only in the store for a day, and then it will be given away."

The girl showed a somewhat regretful expression and asked:
"Can I know who the boss designed this shirt for?"

In Mu Yun's mind, Xu Jiaying's graceful face like a woman from the south of the Yangtze River appeared instantly.

After being in contact with Xu Jiaying for so long, she also saw that Xu Jiaying's face was very deceitful.Just looking at his face, you think she should be a very gentle and tactful woman, but you don't expect that she is already the owner of several grocery stores. In fact, she is very strong in her heart.

When Mu Yun made that buckskin vest, she used Xu Jiaying as the model.

When she was making it, she didn't realize her subconscious intentions, but when he saw that girl wearing this dress, he felt that this woman was not worthy of this dress at all, only Xu Jiaying was worthy of it, so she made a sound , said those words.

But this is just her thoughts.

Not long after, I saw several noble ladies rushing into the door. Seeing the deerskin jacket on the display shelf, they all pushed each other and said that they were the first to catch their eyes, and even asked Mu Yun Roaring, he is willing to pay a higher price to buy this dress.

Mu Yun smiled wryly and explained that the clothes already had an owner.

Those noble ladies insisted that they must have this dress, and retorted with a bit of rogue, that the clothes were not taken away by that person, but there was no owner!They are all entitled to this dress.

She had no choice but to say:
"Business is all about integrity. This shirt has already been ordered. If I resell it to you, wouldn't it be a shame for me? If the ladies want it, I will definitely tailor it for you in the future."

Mu Yun lied, but in order to prevent these ladies from entanglement, she could only cut through the mess so quickly.

Seeing that Mu Yun's posture was very low and she was willing to tailor-made for them, the ladies' anger subsided a little, and before they left, they emphasized Mu Yun again and again to make her not forget. own promise.

She agreed with a wry smile.

After a day of explaining, Mu Yun only felt that the buckskin jacket brought her more troubles than benefits.

She took off the little coat and wrapped it up, and wanted to send it to Xu's residence, and hand it to Xu Jiaying herself.

When Xu Jiaying heard someone looking for her at the door, she was very puzzled and guessed who it was.

When she opened the door and saw that it was Mu Yun, she hurriedly pulled him in.

After Mu Yun explained her intention in the future, Xu Jiaying was very happy, and went directly to the main hall, and introduced to her parents:
"Mother, father, this is Mu Yun, the owner of the Lin family shop I mentioned earlier. I have cooperated with her many times, and I think she is very trustworthy."

But she said that although Xu Jiaying was a concubine, her mother left early, and Mrs. Xu regarded her as her own, and cared for her very much.Xu Jiaying is grateful for Mrs. Xu's love, and calls her mother on weekdays.

Madam Xu and Master Xu looked at each other.

Although Xu Jiaying looks amiable and gentle, in fact she seldom praises others.She spoke so eloquently, but she was extremely sure of Mu Yun.This kind of performance made both Master Xu and Madam Xu dare not look down on Mu Yun, and showed their affection to her one after another.

Mu Yun couldn't help being flattered by the warm care of the two elders.

She shied away and wanted to leave after giving the gift, but she couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the Xu family for her, so she stayed for a dinner.

Several people at the dinner table were very familiar with Mu Yun's taste, and they frequently added dishes.

Mu Yun was very moved. Xu Jiaying was so familiar with her taste, it seemed that she regarded her as a heart-to-heart friend.

It was already late at night when she finally escaped and returned home.

Lin Jinyan was guarding the door waiting for him to come back.

Seeing his lonely appearance, she felt a pain in her heart, and walked up quickly, holding her hand.

"Have you been waiting long?" she asked.

Lin Jinyan shook his head, took her hand, and walked to the door.

"Didn't I have someone inform you that I would be back later? Why are you still standing at the door waiting for me?"

On the surface, the meaning of these words seems to be a bit of blame, but Mu Yun only has worry in her tone.

Lin Jinyan pulled her into the room and whispered:

"Someone sent me a message, but I'm always worried about you. Only by guarding at the door can I feel at ease."

Mu Yun was very moved.
