351 , Liuliguangyuan
The weather is getting colder every day, and the leaves on the mountain gradually turn red.
Standing on the top of the hill, looking at Lingling Mountain, it was like a colorful brocade composed of green, orange, red, yellow and purple. She smiled and squinted at the beautiful mountain scenery. She was fascinated for a while and said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival scenery is already so intoxicating before the Mid-Autumn Festival is over. It is hard to imagine, what kind of soul-devouring will it be if it is late autumn!"
"The beautiful scenery has come to your mouth, and it has become so scary." Ruicai also stood on the top of the mountain, but she was not as intoxicated as Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao walked around the top of the hill, looking for the best observation point: "Do you know, the scenery of this Lingling Mountain is simply comparable to that of the Liuli Light Courtyard. No, it is the Liuli Light Courtyard that has been magnified dozens and hundreds of times!"
"Liuli Light Courtyard, what is that?" Ruicai is no longer surprised by the strange words that pop up from time to time in Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao described Japan's Glazing Light Courtyard with interest to Ruicai: "I was fortunate to see such a place in Japan: a huge wooden glazed courtyard with views on all sides. The wooden floor has smooth varnish, reflecting the scenery outside the window like a mirror. Hundreds of red-leaf trees are planted around the glazing courtyard. In late autumn, enjoy the scenery in the glazing courtyard. It really makes the light and shadow feel colorful, and I don't know what night it is. Outside the window is the real scene, and the floor reflects the imaginary scenery. This combination of virtual and real makes the beautiful mangroves like silk flow slowly with the steps, unlike the world."
Ruicai couldn't help but listen: "The beauty of Lingling Mountain is now, and it won't be allowed to Qixia. If you can build a Glazed Light Courtyard you mentioned here, it will really make people linger."
If Ruicai hadn't said this, Xiaoxiao wouldn't dare to think about it: "This...is not difficult to achieve."
"What's the difficulty? Just transport large pieces of thick glass to build it," Ruicai looked at the land under her feet. "What's rare is that the top of this hill is very flat, which makes it easier to build a house."
Xiaoxiao was calm on the surface, but her heart was already surging. Some of her initial "dreams" have gradually become clearer and even become prototypes. In Ruicai's view, the Liuli Light Courtyard is not too scarce. Indeed, some wealthy families in Kyoto usually have a glass pavilion or glass greenhouse, and there is also a unique glass tea room on the Xieying Girls' campus.
But these are all luxury private ownership, a scenery to enjoy behind closed doors. Perhaps sometimes, a beauty also needs to be shared.
The ancients dared not think of it from private ownership to public.
Furthermore, no matter how superb gardener is, he will inevitably become craftsmanship, but there is no natural mountain, river, mangrove in front of him that comes naturally and naturally becomes interesting!
Ruicai did not disturb Xiaoxiao, but continued to spread the grass seeds in his hands: "I wonder what kind of mountain flowers and wild flowers the seeds brought by Brother Wen San, and whether the next spring will be as he said, will be full of mountains and flowers."
Xiaoxiao came back to her senses: "Anyway, Wen San Ge knows the climate around Kyoto, so these flowers should be able to bloom well~"
"I don't know what you want to teach you how to make money. Anyway, this Dawangzhuang has been transformed by you to become more and more beautiful. Then I will come to play every spring and autumn!" Ruicai smiled.
Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: This is exactly what I want.
After Ruicai sprinkled the grass seeds, she sat down on a big stone: "I thought I could reclaim those wastelands, but who knew that those lands were really barren and had a very low harvest. No wonder the villagers refused to plant things on it."
"Aren't potatoes good either?"
"I'm afraid the harvest will not be very high." Ruicai picked a wild chrysanthemum and sniffed it between his nose. "Many students are thinking about those wastelands, some want to open a tavern, some want to open a teahouse, some want to run a school hall, and some want to build various workshops..."
Xiaoxiao skillfully found a few sweet grasses, dug out the sweet grass roots, and went to the spring to wash: "I didn't expect that everyone has a lot of ideas."
Ruicai took the washed white sweet grass roots and put them in his mouth and chewed them: "The more you chew, the sweeter it becomes, and the taste is good. Do you think these sweet grass roots can be made into dessert?"
"I've tried to make some lotus root powder sweet grass cake last night, which has a special sweet taste. I also tried to cook some sweet herb tea, which is very refreshing with wild chrysanthemums." Xiaoxiao tasted the sweet taste in her mouth, "I'm trying to dry these grass roots, maybe it can be made into sweet grass."
"The candied rosewood flower compote you made last time was delicious, sour and plum-like, and the taste was crispy."
"I forgot to leave behind the salt water when I made candied fruit last time. I used that water to pickle dried radishes, and sweet ginger were excellent." Xiaoxiao introduced his experience to Ruicai, the "pickled pickles master".
Rui Caiqi said: "You are talking about the salt water that comes from pickling Rosen flowers? Can that thing be sour and pickled with pickles?"
"Anyway, vinegar is often added when pickling pickles. There is no need to add vinegar when using this. The pickled pickles are rosy and are very beautiful." Xiaoxiao seemed to think of something, "I will make it again tonight, and I will pickle pickles for you with the remaining salt water!"
Ruicai looked at Xiaoxiao seriously: "You care about everything you do, but you can try to marinate sweet grass roots with Rose-colored sweet grass."
"Yes, that's a good idea!"
"I also heard that you mobilized many big girls and wives in the village to do embossing together?" Ruicai didn't think this was a good idea. "Those embossing paintings are indeed beautiful, but they are not suitable for hanging in the house, and they probably won't be sold at a high price. Besides, this craft is not difficult to learn. If there are good-looking pictures, others will be able to see them, and people are even more reluctant to spend money to buy paintings."
Xiaoxiao just smiled and nodded.
"Have you calculated the cost? How much wages do these people have to charge? There is also a fee for renting shops and setting up stalls. The most important thing is the shipping fee. When the carriage comes here from Kyoto, they transport these paintings? It's really not cost-effective." Ruicai was really concerned about Xiaoxiao, so he raised these things.
Xiaoxiao patted Ruicai's hand: "I am really a good sister, I even thought of these for me."
"There are those who weave baskets and those sugar paintings of Grandpa San. It's hard to expect these people to get rid of poverty. If you reach wealth, it's even more difficult!"
"I thought of all these things," Xiaoxiao booed, "The key depends on where these things are sold and who they are sold."
Ruicai thought seriously: "It's not worth selling to anyone, just like the richest man in the town. She is willing to spend a lot of money to buy these embossed works? She doesn't feel sorry for the money, but if you buy these things, it's better to do them yourself!"
Xiaoxiao smiled: "It's right."
"Can you still sell it to the palace? It can be sold to the palace?" Ruicai shook his head, not optimistic about this matter.
"Don't worry, when did I ever do a loss-making business?" Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more. It would be boring to say something in a hurry before it was achieved.
Although Xiaoxiao has never penetrated into other students, he has learned a little bit about what these people are doing, especially those female students who hold the account book all day long. Naturally, he recorded all the benefits of the villagers he helped, believing that these records should be helpful for future evaluations.
"Did you keep the account book?" Xiaoxiao asked Ruicai.
"As soon as those autumn potatoes were planted, even if they had set up a book, they would not be considered a harvest now." Ruicai smiled slightly, "Actually, we are all doing what we want to do. I farm and fertilize all day long, and helping students go up the mountain with martial arts books every day. What about you, are you still busy with these wonderful things, and Nishiko returns to Kyoto... These are actually what we all want to do."
Xiaoxiao only felt that every sentence was reasonable, and she didn't realize that Xizi came in her heart. I don't know if she could meet Shi Zuimo when she returned to Kyoto, and whether everything was as she wished...
Xiaoxiao thought about Xizi over there, and couldn't help but look at Ruicai in front of him: "Ruicai, I remember that the young master you met at the rose banquet last time was very good, and it was also beneficial to your Wei family in business, but later I didn't hear you mention it."
Ruicai's expression was a little unnatural: "You remember these boring things."
"This is a big deal." Xiaoxiao looked like an elder tone.
The good young man Xiaoxiao mentioned was at the cozy garden banquet held by the Wei family. The son of the boss Guo, the son of the Guo family, showed Wei Ziyuan, was the mistress of the family. He urgently needed to marry a Dinghai Shenjian to manage the inner house well.
At that time, Wei Ziyuan agreed with Boss Guo to arrange for the meeting of his children at the rose banquet.
Ruicai also revealed a few words to Xiaoxiao, saying that Mr. Guo was gentle and polite and had a gentleman style. It is said that after the rose banquet, the two met again under the arrangement of their parents.
"How are you and that Young Master Guo?" Xiaoxiao leaned over and touched Ruicai's arm with his elbow.
"I won't meet again in the future." Ruicai said in a faint tone.
"Why did he offend you?" Although Xiaoxiao had never seen Mr. Guo with his own eyes, he had also heard his second brother Tang Lihuan mention this person by chance. "My second brother said that this person is very stable and is said to be very popular in the Chamber of Commerce."
Ruicai's eyes looked at the mountain scenery in front of her, but when she saw the mountains and the rivers flowing, she took a deep breath without realizing it: "I'm afraid I'm going to be alone forever."
"Why do you say this?" Xiaoxiao didn't know where Ruicai said this, she was obviously very keen on attending blind dates.
"Maybe it was because of the things my father had done that I didn't believe in marrying a man in this life." Ruicai's eyes reflected in the shadows of the red flowers and trees, and she felt like she was seeing the prosperity.
When Xiaoxiao heard this, she felt very uncomfortable for her friends. The shadow left by her father on her children is probably going to penetrate into the entire marriage of her younger generations. It would be fine if Ruicai could meet a good man, otherwise, she would be afraid that she would stitch the last thread in her heart, and be isolated from the world from now on, and live a stubborn stone.
Xiaoxiao gave Ruicai the sweet grass roots in his hand: "What's the matter with that young master Guo?"
Since Ruicai came to the countryside, she has been living carefree. Now when she heard this topic, her expression became solemn: "Maybe it's because I can't rub the sand in my eyes."
It seems that something unacceptable is really unacceptable, otherwise I would not have stopped seeing this person for no reason. I smiled and stroked the grassroots in my hand: "Of course there can't be sand in my eyes, and these things can't be done with it."
Ruicai listened to Xiaoxiao's words and felt a little warm. It was rare for anyone to understand him: "Mr. Guo is generous and steady, and he knows how to ask about his well-being. I just... I heard that he had a girl from a wife at the age of sixteen. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't accept this matter."
Alas, Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart. Such a generous and careful man is bound to be a girl, which is really lamentable!
"You ignore him, there must be an explanation."
Ruicai said: "I said it directly, I can't accept this girl from the house."
"What does he say?" No matter how you deal with this matter, it is wrong. If you can't bear to leave the girl, you will not take your future wife seriously; if you chase that girl, you will seem to have become a kind and righteous person again.
"He said he would deal with that girl properly and would not have any connection with her anymore. After I entered the door, I promised not to take a concubine, not to keep an outdoor room, and not to linger with her." Ruicai's tone was calm and he had no regrets.
Mr. Guo seemed to be really fond of Ruicai. He even sent such a heavy oath and asked with a smile: "How did you refuse him?"
