Gu Yong shook his head: "I'm not going back to Mingyue Island, I'm just walking around. I'm tired of staying on the island for these years and want to go out and walk around."
Master Ye also nodded and said, "Also, your villa is almost finished. You can go and take a look at it yourself and then move in."
Qian Jiujiu said, "Okay, I understand. Take care, I won't see you off."
Qian Jiujiu did not expect these two people to leave so quickly, but she could not keep them from leaving. Besides, she felt that these two people were a little abnormal, so it was better to let them leave.
After waiting for the two to leave, Qian Jiujiu ran to find her mother-in-law: "Mom, Master Ye just came and said that the villa on the mountain has been successfully built. Should we go and take a look? Or should I take a look first, and then you can go and take a look after it is completed?"
The Queen Mother had long admired that villa, and was very excited when she heard that it was completed: "Shall we go and see it now?"
Seeing the old man who couldn't wait to leave, Qian Jiujiu could only nod and say, "Okay, let's go and take a look first."
Someone came out to harness the carriage, Qian Jiujiu had someone say something to Mu Yexiao, and then got on the carriage. The carriage swayed and headed towards the villa on the mountain.
It was already noon when we arrived at the villa. The road up the mountain had been repaired, and the carriage went directly to the gate of the villa.
When the workers in the villa saw Qian Jiujiu and the old lady and her group coming, they immediately went to find Master Zong, who soon came out to greet them.
"Greetings to the old lady, and greetings to the madam."
Qian Jiujiu waved her hand: "Has the villa been built?"
Master Zong nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am. It's almost finished. The next step is decoration and furniture. Ma'am has already taken out the blueprints. Once the furniture is moved in, we can move in directly."
The new homes built at that time did not have modern paint and other things. As soon as they were built, people could move in directly.
The furniture and other things had been given to Tong Ruyu to take care of in the past six months, so they must be ready: "Mom, let's go in and take a look."
This villa is quite large. Of course, it cannot be compared with those in Kyoto, but here, it can be said to be the best courtyard in the entire Xianyou Town.
The Queen Mother also walked in. There were still many people working in the room. The maids beside the Queen Mother were loyal and devoted. The courtyard was not very big, with only five courtyards in total.
The original design also had one courtyard for the Queen Mother, one for Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu, one each for the south, north and north, and the remaining one was for entertaining guests.
The Queen Mother looked around inside. Although this villa was small, it was indeed very exquisite. She was very satisfied: "Jiuer, when can we move in?"
Qian Jiujiu replied with a smile: "Maybe in five days. During these five days, I will come and watch over it myself and have people move all the furniture and other things over."
The Queen Mother said with satisfaction, and this time she let Qian Jiujiu go back with her. When they got home, Nan Nan Bei Bei had already finished school, and they all gathered around the Queen Mother as it was rare for them to see her go out.
"Grandma, did you go out today? Where did you go?"
The Queen Mother has always liked Beibei, and she couldn't help laughing when she heard Beibei's coquettish words: "I went to see the villa, it's been built. In a few days, we can move in."
The county government's backyard was indeed a bit shabby. They had lived there for such a long time, and although they had gotten used to it, they still felt uncomfortable.
Beibei and Nannan's eyes lit up at the same time. If they lived in the villa, they could pass by Fang Xiaoxi's house every day on their way to school, which was naturally what Nannan wanted.
"How many days will it take? I can't wait any longer."
Qian Jiujiu looked at these guys and saw that they all wanted to move in. It seemed that they should deal with it urgently. So the next day, he went directly to Tong's house and found Tong Ruyu.
Tong Ruyu was shocked to see Qian Jiujiu in her own shop early in the morning: "Hello, Madam. Why are you here in person?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "Are the furniture I asked you to make before finished? Take them out for me to see. If they are ok, you can move in."
When Tong Ruyu heard that he could move in, he knew that the villa was ready. He had asked Master Zong for leave for the threshing machine.
Speaking of which, Master Zong seemed to be particularly indulgent towards him. When they were in the other courtyard before, he would give him guidance whenever he had the chance and would particularly agree with whatever he wanted to do, which made him very grateful.
"The furniture has been made, and the wood used is the same type that Madam selected before. Would you like to take a look?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "I came here specifically to look at the furniture today. Let's go, let's set off now."
The furniture made for the other courtyard is not placed here. When Tong Ruyu was going out, she naturally had to tell Tong Ruyan, but when Tong Ruyan heard that it was Qian Jiujiu, she immediately said that she would go with him.
The group came to the place where Tong Ruyu specially placed the furniture. After looking at the finished furniture, they found that it was the same as the one on Qian Jiujiu's drawings. Qian Jiujiu nodded with satisfaction.
"Good. Now that everything is done, send it to the other courtyard. I will keep an eye on it these days and make sure the other courtyard is ready as soon as possible."
For the sake of the branch courtyard's affairs, Qian Jiujiu really took five days to prepare everything for the branch courtyard. On the sixth day, the academy also had a day off.
The family happily got on the carriage and came to the courtyard. Everyone's courtyard was divided in advance. After arriving at the courtyard, everyone went to their own courtyard.
Because the courtyard was completed, all the workers were dismissed. After the matter here was settled, Master Zong and others also said goodbye to Qian Jiujiu and left.
There were already secret guards protecting the other courtyards. After looking at their respective courtyards, everyone expressed satisfaction. Beibei looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Mom, everything is ready here. When are we going to move in?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at everyone's anxious expressions. It seemed that living in the back house of the county government office was indeed a bit difficult for these people: "Okay, we will move tomorrow."
After the time was set, everyone went home and packed up their things. The next day, carriages full of things set off for the villa.
The sudden relocation of the Shi family had caused some discussion, and now the family no longer lives behind the county government office.
There had to be someone stationed at the back of the county government office, so Mu Yexiao asked Liu Yifang and Zi Jiang to move in, which would be convenient if anything happened.
Having just moved to a new house and not yet packed up, Qian Jiujiu asked someone to invite Fang Xiaoxi's family over to celebrate together. Fang Xiaoxi's family has also calmed down recently, no one has caused trouble, and of course life is good.
"Xiao Xi, come here, let me check if you have been slacking off recently."
Fang Xiaoxi thought it was her master who wanted to check her recitation of medicinal materials, etc. "Master, please speak."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a branch flying towards her. Fang Xiaoxi was startled and then subconsciously caught it.
Qian Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems that you have made great progress recently. Although you only used one level of power, it is great that you can catch it. By the way, you are making such rapid progress now, you have noticed the two secret guards around you, right?"
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "I found it. Thank you, Master, for sending someone to protect me."
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "The people assigned to you will be yours from now on. Let them continue to be secret guards, or give them names and protect them openly. It's up to you."
Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes, which meant that the two secret guards could not go back, and immediately thanked them: "Thank you, Master. I will tell them."
During this period, she went to the back mountain to practice at midnight every day, and these two watched over her. To be honest, they did have some credit, but whether it was done openly or secretly needed some discussion. Because there were two more people in the family, she didn't know whether her parents could accept it.
Qian Jiujiu waved at Fang Xiaoxi: "Oh, I almost forgot, I still have something to give you, come with me."
Fang Xiaoxi followed Fang Xiaoxi with some curiosity. Because of the move, Qian Jiujiu found a lot of things and took Fang Xiaoxi to the study: "This is for you."
When he took it and looked at it, he found that it was actually two recipe books, which recorded all the famous dishes. Fang Xiaoxi widened her eyes and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Master, what do you mean?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled: "I forgot to tell you, well, I have a master who cooks. Let's put it this way, your master is the best in martial arts and cooking. It's a pity that I don't have a talent for cooking. I think you are suitable."
"So I'll give you the recipe. You can figure it out yourself. If you can make the dishes above, your master will have a successor."
She was telling the truth. She was good at medicinal food, but Mu Yexiao was not as good as her other dishes. Fang Xiaoxi was most interested in cooking, and now that she had this recipe, she was extremely happy.
"Master, rest assured, I will study hard."
Qian Jiujiu hummed and said, "Study hard. When you have achieved a certain level of success, let Nannan take you to Kyoto to see the dishes of the major restaurants in Kyoto."
Fang Xiaoxi was very interested in food. When she heard this, she looked at Qian Jiujiu with sparkling eyes: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard."
Qian Jiujiu smiled. She didn't expect that this girl liked cooking so much. She was very pleased: "Today's meal is left to you."
Uh! Suddenly entrusted with an important task, Fang Xiaoxi was ready to work hard. I hadn't thought about it yet, what should I send for the master's move! The master handed it over in advance.
Smiling, she walked towards the kitchen, but was pestered by Nan Nan halfway: "Where are you going without my mother?"
Fang Xiaoxi glanced at Nan Nan and said, "Why are you looking for me when you are not packing your things? I need to go to the kitchen to prepare meals."
