Chapter 271 Garden

"Anything else?" Su Qinchao listened and carefully wrote down in the booklet the types of flowers that needed to be added, as well as the approximate number, using a charcoal pencil.

This saves you from having to waste time rechecking with the servants who do the purchasing.

He didn't know much about gardening. To him, being able to keep the plants alive was good enough. He didn't need to know so many tricks.

"That's all for now. By the way, Uncle Fang." Wei Wuluan thought about it and made sure he had made no mistakes.

Then he turned to look at the old housekeeper standing at the side: "Is there no gardener hired in the manor?"

This is what puzzled him the most.

When he was checking just now, he found that many of these dead branches and leaves were very rare treasures.

For example, the Eighteen Scholars tree outside the pavilion has only withered flowers left.

It is difficult to cultivate one plant normally, but there are three here.

There are also the Yaohuang on the left, the bunch at the foot of the rockery, and the Suguan Lotus Ding that looks messy like weeds...

It can be said that if there was anyone in the village who understood flowers, the garden would not have become like this.

It really is a case of looking at the outside in all appearance from a distance but being rotten inside when you look closely. What a pity.

"Yes, the master used to take care of it himself." The old butler replied respectfully, then frowned and helplessly explained the reason:

In fact, he also felt sorry for these flowers. Not to mention the price, many of them were found by him with help.

But since Wu Luan went to the city, he has never come back.

They didn't know how to maintain the plants, so they could only follow the original instructions and water them on time. Over time, it became like this.

"So that's the case. Then we need to hire a gardener." After hearing this, Wei Wuluan turned around and looked at Su Qinchao, motioning him to write it down.

"it is good."

After tinkering with the small garden, Wei Wu Luan found several minor problems in other places.

For example, several tiles needed to be replaced, and a cook left two years ago, but since there was no master in the house, she had never been replaced...

They were busy until dark, and only stopped reluctantly when the lights in the farmhouse were lit one after another by the servants.

Afterwards, we had to stay in the manor for dinner.

It’s a good opportunity to try out the cooking skills of the remaining cook. If the food doesn’t suit your taste, you can replace it in time.

"I remember this is a Yangzhou dish, and it's very well cooked." Su Qinchao was referring to the shredded pork with chicken sauce on the table.

This is the signature dish of Huaiyang cuisine. Although it looks simple, it requires extremely high skills from the chef.

The last time he went to Yangzhou to investigate the affairs of the Maritime Customs, he had eaten this dish many times there. It tasted exactly like this, with a fresh, fragrant and refreshing texture, and was very authentic.

"Yes, Madam Dou is the one the master specially invited from Jiangnan." The old butler who was waiting on the side introduced after hearing this.

"I see. Let her continue then." Wei Wu Luan also picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He tasted it carefully and it was indeed good, very refreshing and appetizing.

"Yes."

Afterwards, the two of them tried all the other dishes on the table, including the desserts.

I found that the taste was very good, with color, aroma and taste. She is worthy of being the cook chosen by Wu Luan himself.

...

After eating and drinking, and with nothing else to do, Su Qinchao naturally had to rush back to Xiaotang Village.

It’s not too far away anyway. If we hurry, we’ll be there in a quarter of an hour at most.

But before going back, he still gave back the several hundred taels that Yunniang had given him last night.

He also took out most of the silver money in his pocket for his own use and gave it to Wei Wuluan.

He had just roughly estimated that just buying those precious flowers might cost several hundred taels.

Not to mention the need to repair the roof, decorate the house, hire a cook, a gardener...

This amount of money is definitely not enough, but this is all they can take out now.

"?" Wei Wuluan was a little confused. He didn't know why Su Qinchao suddenly gave him so much money.

Although he was raised in wealth and had countless fortunes, he was not completely ignorant.

After all, he had spent most of his adult life wandering around the world, and had occasionally experienced the life of the lower-class civilians.

Life in Chang'an was not easy, and this man could not make any money at all, looking at the glamorous fourth-rank General of the Jinwu Guard.

It is hard to say, these silver coins are...

That's why he couldn't understand.

"Well, my wife said that since you married me, it's not good for you to bear all the burden, so..." Su Qinchao touched his nose and roughly repeated Yunniang's meaning:

"It's just not much. Maybe not even as much as the money I get from buying flowers at the farm."

"It's already a lot." It turned out that it was this man's wife who gave the order.

Wei Wuluan looked at the pile of silver and money in front of him, feeling indescribably complicated for a moment.

I have traveled a lot since I was a child, and I have met all kinds of people.

But it was the first time he met a wife like Mrs. Su Qinchao, who would consider everything for her husband's lover.

Although he was not a lover, and there was not even any emotional foundation between us.

"That's it for now." Su Qinchao, feeling that he had done everything Yunniang had asked him to do, stood up and prepared to go out.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the house, Wei Wuluan, who had hurriedly chased after him, grabbed his sleeve.

"What else?" Su Qinchao paused.

"Can I hug you?" Wei Wuluan asked hesitantly.

At this moment, his eyes, which were dyed more brightly by the candlelight, seemed to be filled with expectation and...

Now the matter of becoming a Taoist couple has been put on the agenda, and the master also said last night that he would help them to accomplish it as soon as possible.

He didn't expect that he would have such an abrupt union with this person until then.

He wants to proceed step by step, starting from now on.

Of course, it would be even better if we could develop a little bit of affection.

"Of course." Su Qinchao, who thought something was wrong, took the hand of the person in front of him and pulled him into his arms:

"Are you sure you just need a hug?"

"Is there anything else we can do?" Wei Wuluan raised his head, his eyes full of surprise.

He originally thought that based on the way this person treated him before, he would not be so easy...

did not expect…

"Of course." Anyway, they would be doing something more intimate soon, it was just a little earlier.

"Well, okay..." Wei Wuluan looked at the thin lips of the person in front of him.
