But because they had passed a winter and were taken care of very well, the original ones in the yard grew stronger and more lush than before, with luxuriant branches and leaves.
Some spread over a large area due to the growth of rhizomes, while others sprouted new shoots due to the falling of seeds in autumn...
In short, almost half of the yard is occupied by these flowers and plants. It is the time when they are blooming and growing leaves. At a glance, the green, pink, red or yellow flowers are hidden among them, which is very pleasing to the eye.
And some flowers also smell fragrant.
Jiang Michia once thought about picking some flowers to put in vases and put them in the house, but when she remembered that Xun Yuanbai had said that these seemingly unattractive wild flowers and weeds were all rare herbs, she had no choice but to give up.
After all, putting these precious herbs in bottles would really feel like a waste of resources.
But when I think that the original purpose of digging flowers and plants in the mountains was to decorate the yard and house, but now I have to take care of them carefully, I feel a little aggrieved.
In order to relieve his depressed mood, Jiang Michia simply went to the flower shops in the town and county for a few times and bought back a lot of potted green plants and other things.
One of the pots was specially selected for Song Jingyun - a small pot of dwarf banyan tree.
Jiang Michia placed it on Song Jingyun's desk, so that when the son-in-law was reading, he could see a touch of bright green when he looked up, which was very suitable.
Song Jingyun also liked it very much, and even put the small stones he picked up from the mountains at the roots of the banyan bonsai as decoration.
In order to make the banyan tree look good and the soil maintain a certain amount of moisture, the seller specially cultivated a layer of moss on the upper layer of the soil. At this time, the invisible stones covered with moss were placed, which did not look obtrusive and even looked pretty.
Jiang Michia still fully approves of her son-in-law's aesthetics.
After these potted flowers and other things were purchased and arranged, there was news from Yaxing in the county town.
He said that he had found the courtyard Jiang Michia wanted.
The college examination is held in August.
The college examination is hosted by the academic administration in various places. The examination location is usually in the place where the academic administration is located or in nearby prefectures, counties, etc.
However, in order to avoid fraud and the buying and selling of test questions in the imperial examinations, the location of each imperial examination was not fixed. The final examination location was determined by temporary drawing at the end of May.
By coincidence, this year's exam location is in Fengyang County.
Therefore, Jiang Michia wants to decide on the courtyard to be purchased as soon as possible. After cleaning and repairing it, he can move in smoothly before the government examination. This will also make it easier for Song Jingyun to take the government examination.
With this idea in mind, Jiang Michia went to Yahang with Jiang Youcheng on the second day after receiving the news, and followed the people from Yahang to see the courtyard.
Upon entering the standard courtyard, it occupies a large area, the house is spacious, the yard is large enough, and it was not built for a long time. However, because it has been uninhabited for a long time, the entire courtyard looks very deserted, and even the grass in the courtyard is half overgrown. People come high.
"This courtyard has only been lived in for more than half a year since it was built. Only the servants who guarded it lived here. They only lived in the west wing. The east wing and the main house have never been moved in."
The clerk from the dental shop introduced, "This courtyard was originally built by a family named Yuan in the county town. Because the relationship between their daughter-in-law and their daughter was not harmonious, the family specially built a courtyard for their daughter to live in when she returned home to visit relatives. As a result, my daughter never came back because she married far away, and now the entire Yuan family has moved away to live with my daughter and son-in-law."
"Later, Master Yuan and Mrs. Yuan died of illness one after another, and the house was forgotten. Even the servants no longer took good care of it. It was not until some time ago that Master Yuan's son discovered the house deed and land deed here. I'm going to sell it, and the money I get in exchange is going to be given to my sister and brother-in-law, as a reward for taking care of me for so many years."
"I have inquired carefully and found that there are no disputes or any unlucky things in this house. There is a well in the house and the walls are made of blue bricks and bluestones, which are quite strong. If Mrs. Jiang wants to buy it, All we need to do is tidy up the yard, clean it inside and out, and trim the tiles on the roof.”
As the house ages, there is nothing to worry about. However, because the roof has not been cleaned for a long time, it is easy to accumulate dirt and leaves. It is washed away by rain in summer and frozen by ice and snow in winter. The tiles may be broken or the drainage may not be smooth. Condition.
The waiter continued, "If Mrs. Jiang doesn't have time and doesn't want to go to the trouble, you can find people available to do these jobs in Yaxing. The price is fair and reasonable. Mrs. Jiang can just come and clean the yard."
Jiang Michia and Jiang Youcheng had just looked carefully at the inside and outside of the courtyard.
The house is indeed solid, the overall structure is good, and the location is good.
It is not far from the examination room, the county school, or Wende College. After going out, you turn the alley and you are on the street. Daily expenses, food and drinks are all convenient.
Moreover, this house costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver, so the price is not bad.
Jiang Michia nodded immediately, "Okay, you have to clean up the courtyard, and I will pay you then."
For professional matters, you still need to find professionals.
Yaxing has been doing this kind of business for a long time, and the people who do the work are quite experienced, so it takes much less effort than them to buy these things by themselves.
"Okay, Madam Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter." The waiter hurriedly responded and led Jiang Michia and Jiang Youcheng to the dental shop to sign the documents and pay a deposit.
After finishing their work, Jiang Michia and Jiang Youcheng went home.
On the way back, Jiang Michia was thinking about the layout of each room just now.
Bedroom, study room, utility room, kitchen, guest room...
The decoration, furnishings, furniture, and some soft things in each room.
How big should the bed be, what material should the table be made of, how high should the chair be, how big should the dining table be...
Jiang Mixia suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Sure enough, throughout the ages, this decoration has been an extremely complicated and labor-intensive matter.
Jiang Michia was holding her head and worrying here, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Jiang Youcheng driving the bullock cart with a whip, and his face was also full of sorrow.
"Dad, why are you so unhappy?" Jiang Michia couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Youcheng turned away, did not answer Jiang Michia's words, and even sighed.
"Why……"
This sigh was gentle and long, and seemed to bring a sense of heartbreak.
"What's going on?" Jiang Michia became more and more confused.
Jiang Youcheng turned around after a while and looked at Jiang Michia with complicated eyes, "If you move to the county town, will you come back?"
When you come back, do you still remember your parents?
