Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

The big ship sailed to Gyeongju Port, and a group of people got off the ship. Mu Sheng arranged for the old shopkeeper to lead Xiao Hua and Boss He to rest in the yard they bought first.I stayed at the dock to supervise the unloading of the workers.

The yard that Mu Sheng bought was in the south of Gyeongju. The alley was quiet, and the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, making a dull sound.On both sides of the alley, there are green trees, and the varnish gate is hidden among the green trees.

He Xiaohua poked her head out of the carriage, looked left and right, and the old shopkeeper patted the horse forward, "Brother He, most of the people living in this alley are businessmen who come and go to Qingzhou for business, and there are also scholars. They all live at the end of the alley. The house was built the year before last. After coming down, the owner thought about going back and forth every year. If you look for an inn every time, it is easy to find when there are not many merchant ships. If there are more, let alone a room, you can’t find even a Datong room. The owner thought Let's set up the house first, and when we come later, there will be a place to rest."

He Xiaohua nodded, not paying much attention to the old shopkeeper's deliberate explanation.In Xiaohua's perception, buying real estate is definitely a good investment. Except for wars, the price of real estate never rises.Gyeongju Port was also an open coastal city in the past, so Xiao Hua disagreed with Mu Sheng's purchase of a yard.If I really want to say that I am dissatisfied, I bought too few rooms, so I have to buy a few more rooms.

Mu Sheng's yard is in the middle of the alley, and there are two stone lions in front of the gate, with their heads raised up, their expressions are interesting.Pushing the door open, one can see a small side room next to the gate of the front yard. Around the screen wall, there are rows of unnamed flowers on both sides of the courtyard wall. The colorful flowers are very beautiful. Fluttering, a few strands of wicker hung lightly by the courtyard wall.The safflower and green leaves are exquisite.

There are three big houses with blue bricks and gray tiles on the front.The old shopkeeper pointed out one by one, "But the main room in the middle is the place where the master meets guests, the big room on one side is for meeting the shopkeepers, and the other is the master's study."

Passing through the small crescent door by the courtyard wall, there are three big houses facing you.The old shopkeeper carefully pointed to the room on the right, "The room of the master at that time," and pointed to the other two, "The master ordered it to be reserved for Mr. He and Brother He." Boss He became Mu Sheng's future father-in-law, and the boss The shopkeeper didn't dare to call Boss He Brother He, so he cautiously changed his name.

The old shopkeeper waited for a long time, did not hear an answer, asked again, but still did not answer, looked up in surprise, and asked again.This time Boss He came to his senses and rubbed his hands, "Shopkeeper, you called Mr. He, but I really didn't know it was me. Well, then you should still call... just as usual."

The old shopkeeper quickly praised, "Brother He is really an honest person."

Over there, He Xiaohua has already walked around the small courtyard. The backyard is about the same size as the front yard, but there is a small pond. The rare thing is that the pond is full of running water. I don't know how the builders arranged it.Although the pond is small, there is no shortage of Dutch green leaf koi.There are also two stone benches by the pond.The stone bench is smooth and bright, and one can imagine that people often sit here to look at the lotus leaves and feed the koi.

The backyard leads to the next one, and there are two small cover rooms, a side room, and a small kitchen.

In the side room are Chen Xi and his wife who look after the yard. There are two cover rooms, one is used as a warehouse for temporary purchases, and the other is temporarily vacant.

The old shopkeeper took He Boss and He Xiaohua for a walk, and called Chen Xi and his wife over to see He Boss and He Xiaohua.Chen Xi and his husband Shichun wanted to kowtow to them, Boss He and Xiao Hua were so panicked that they pulled one up and refused to accept the ceremony.

The old shopkeeper put the two of them in a room in the backyard, and asked Chen Xi and his wife to prepare dinner, and then he went back to the pier to reply to Mu Sheng.

After dinner, Boss He and Xiaohua went back to their room to rest.Mu Sheng and the shopkeepers were discussing matters in the front yard.He Xiaohua rolled on the bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.He opened his eyes wide and sighed, got up, put on his coat, and walked to the front yard in the dark.The room on the left side of the front yard by the courtyard wall was lit up, and several voices were vaguely heard, as if they were talking about something.

He Xiaohua turned around and touched the small kitchen in the backyard.Shi Chun hadn't slept yet, and was waiting by the hearth to boil water, when he saw He Xiaohua come in, he quickly stood up, "I'm hungry, I want to eat some snacks. How about I make you a bowl of noodles." He Xiaohua is the old shopkeeper himself. It was brought here, and it was said that he lived here under the order of his master.Shi Chun has served the owner for so many years, he came here from Zhushan, he didn't know the meaning of the old shopkeeper's words, he completely regarded He Xiaohua as her husband.

He Xiaohua shook her head, "Mu Sheng, um, is the boss still discussing matters with the shopkeepers? How long do they usually talk about?"

"It's hard to say. But the hot water on the stove is always ready. If the boss and shopkeepers want to drink hot tea, they can send someone over and call to deliver it."

He Xiaohua looked around, after all it wasn't at home, and Xiaohua didn't dare to make more claims. After thinking about it, she asked Shi Chun to make a pot of hot tea for her, and found some peanuts and fruits.The fruit was peeled and cut into small pieces, and a toothpick was placed beside the plate.

Xiaohua picked up the tray, declined Shi Chun's offer to help carry it over, and walked to the front yard by herself under the moonlight.

"Boss, will the lotus roots sent this year be the same as usual, half of them will be kept in the restaurant for cooking, and the other half will be distributed to the shops you know for sale?"

"Well, as in previous years, the account will be dismantled by four or six."

"Boss, there are quite a few boats of lotus roots. Speaking of which, we are the only seller of lotus roots in Qingzhou City. Even if the bills are split by [-], they still want to find us."

"Harmony makes money. We took a step back, and the shops that have benefited will naturally help maintain them. Besides, we don't have a deep foundation in Gyeongju City, so there is no need to offend people for a little more profit."

"My boss is right. The location of this new restaurant..."

Xiao Hua stood outside the door, momentarily stunned.The small pond of the He family was full of water, only half a boatload of lotus roots, several boatloads of lotus roots, where did so many come from?Could it be that the Mu family Tuo Musheng helped sell the lotus root, or there was also the Sha family.

The people in the room were still discussing the location of the new restaurant, the chef to hire, and they also discussed that although Gyeongju is a big place, the competition is fierce. If you want to succeed, you must work hard on the dishes.

Xiaohua listened outside for a while, and after thinking about it, she still knocked on the door.Immediately, a man in his thirties opened the door and was surprised to see Xiaohua outside the door. The old shopkeeper in the room had sharp eyes and recognized it at a glance.

"Master, it's Brother Mu."

Mu Sheng, who was looking at the account book, suddenly raised his head and saw He Xiaohua who brought a teapot and fruit outside the door, "What's the matter? Let Shi Chun do this. You just arrived today, take a good rest." Saying that, get up He walked quickly to the door and reached out to help Xiao Hua in.

All the shopkeepers are smart people, seeing the attitude of the old shopkeeper and the owner, they exchanged a haha, and reasoned that there were other matters, but after a while, they all said goodbye and left.

Mu Sheng helped Xiaohua sit on the round stool beside the desk, took the tray with his hand, and poured two cups of tea, but when his hand touched the teapot, it was not hot as expected.

"The doctor Lang of the Sha family asked me to help him find a way to sell some lotus roots. I thought I was the only one in Gyeongju Port. If Doctor Sha finds another shop, no matter how you look at it, it will be bad for me. The disadvantages outweigh the benefits. So I agreed to this matter. As for the dismantling of accounts, I still say that there is a lot of money in the world. People don’t have to earn all the wealth in the world in this life, which is enough for the two of us to spend in this life. Leave a decent dowry to my brother, and everything will be fine. As for the boy, he is not greedy for his father's money, that is what I expect from him."

He Xiaohua responded sullenly, but didn't answer.

Mu Sheng smiled lightly, holding Xiaohua's chin with his fingers, "Lotus root is a good business. It's a pity that the ponds of the He family and the Mu family are too small, and the quantity supplied by the two families alone is only enough to supply the shops. The space occupied by the Sha family It is big and produces a lot, which just makes up for the shortcomings. Xiaohua, you see, I am a businessman, and I am in business. I have not suffered a loss in this business."

He Xiaohua pouted, "You can tell me. Why do you have to hide it and block it?"

Mu Sheng laughed loudly, picked up Xiao Hua, and kissed the red seal on Xiao Hua's forehead, "My little Hua, okay, from now on you will be the husband of the Mu family. I will definitely report everything in the store to my husband."

"Who is your husband! Don't be shy." He Xiaohua suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly pushed Mu Sheng away.

Mu Sheng let go of his hand, intentionally letting Xiao Hua easily push her to the ground, and with an exaggerated ouch, he covered his waist and couldn't stand up for a long time.Xiao Hua panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Sheng up, "Where is the injury? Let me see." As she spoke, she touched Mu Sheng's waist with her little hand, pinched here, touched there, "Where does it hurt, where is it uncomfortable? "

The corner of Mu Sheng's mouth curled up, and he exerted force with his hands. He Xiaohua's body swayed and fell into Mu Sheng's arms, "Xiao Hua." The heat of her breath sprayed on her neck, and her hands were tightly wrapped around Xiao Hua's waist, "Xiao Hua. Sigh ...That's it, okay? Wait for me, wait for me."

He Xiaohua felt that something was about to move under her body. The hot air around her neck made Xiaohua feel uncomfortable. She wanted to break free from Mu Sheng, but she was afraid that he would hurt him more, so she had to lie down obediently.After waiting for a while, Mu Sheng's breathing gradually calmed down, and He Xiaohua moved her body, "Then, I'll get up, okay?"

Feeling that the person behind her was breathing stagnantly, followed by a deep wry laugh, "Okay." Xiao Hua quickly got up with her hands tightly around her waist, and turned around to try to pull Mu Sheng, but found that Mu Sheng stood up by himself, his movements clean. Neat, showing no signs of injury.

"You..." Xiaohua stared, suddenly her body was pulled forward, she felt a blur in front of her eyes, and a soft touch on her lips.Xiaohua's head exploded with a bang.what are they doing?That word, that word... When I was in middle school, when those classmates who had boyfriends and girlfriends did this, what did they call it when they secretly hid aside and peeked... Potassium disulfide iodide... Yes, that's the word.

Mu Sheng let go of Xiao Hua slowly, seeing the villain in front of him widen his eyes, he was stunned.Snow-white skin, black eyeballs, lively and lively in the past, at this moment, they are actually somewhat naive.

"Silly little flower." His forehead touched Xiaohua's forehead lightly.

Xiaohua's eyeballs moved, turned around, turned around again, and her eyes slowly returned to their former expressions, "You, you..." Xiaohua pushed Mu Sheng away, pointed at Mu Sheng with shaking fingers, but said several times in succession. A "you" can't be strung together into a sentence.

Xiaohua felt that she was really dizzy, and believed that he had fallen and injured for no reason, thinking about how a person who is so good at lightness kung fu would fall down when he was lightly pushed.Xiao Hua stomped her feet, "I'm ignoring you." As soon as the words came out, Xiao Hua regretted again, how could such feminine words come out of her mouth.Xiaohua turned her head, stomped and ran out of the room, and she didn't know what to say if she stayed any longer.He secretly complained to Mu Sheng in his heart, if it wasn't for him, how could he make himself look ugly.

In the room, Mu Sheng looked up to the sky and laughed.The laughter spread to the backyard, He Xiaohua rushed to the front yard to roll her eyes, lifted the quilt, retracted her head, and buried herself in the quilt.
