During the Mid-Autumn Festival, and just finished the autumn harvest, the streets are crowded with people coming out to buy things for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many young masters and students from aristocratic families also got fake vacations and came out to enjoy the beauty of Kyoto. It is rare that there is no curfew today, so you can linger all the time and enjoy Kyoto
night view.
At this time, several large boats were docked on the shore on the pier, and the boatmen wearing the Xingshun Boat Line's logo shirts carefully moved the things on the boats to the shore.
The people who saw these big ships were just a little curious, but when they saw the things transported from the ships, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"Then... what kind of tree is that? It looks like an osmanthus tree from such a distance, but the color of the osmanthus flower turns out to be orange-red?"
"It's cinnabar osmanthus, the color is really beautiful, who is this, who has such a big hand to transport cinnabar osmanthus to Kyoto by boat?"
Plants of cinnabar osmanthus were carefully transported from the boat and placed on both sides of the pier. The orange-red flowers were gorgeous and unparalleled.
The news spread like wildfire, attracting more and more people around to watch the fun.
Madam Qi brought the servants from the house to the pier, and was shocked by the crowd watching the excitement. The three floors and the three floors were almost impossible to leak. What kind of rare things were brought here? , can attract so many people
Jin Lan looked anxious on the side: "Mother Qi, you quickly send someone to pick up the things. After all, they came all the way to the young lady, but they can't be damaged in the slightest."
"It's just that there are too many people..."
At this moment, I don't know who shouted: "Let's get out of the way, the master has come to move things."
Everyone has been curious for a long time, who has such a big hand, and when they heard the master's visit, they immediately looked over.
"Is that the Su family?"
"Isn't it? It's the Su Family of Shangshu's Mansion!"
"No wonder there is such a big handwriting, cinnabar osmanthus, and it grows so tall, the flowers are lush and colorful, and it is transported from Jiangnan all the way without any damage. The cost of this is probably not small."
"Who said it wasn't? I haven't seen such a big move from the Su family during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past. It's really profound. It can be said that this is the first time in Kyoto to transport cinnabar osmanthus from Jiangnan to Kyoto?"
"Anyway, I haven't heard of it before... Ordinary officials' homes, if you can get one or two potted plants, it's not bad. This is a big tree that has already grown into a forest. Looking at its appearance, it will take more than ten years to grow into it." The crowd gave way, and Jin Lan hurriedly said to Qi Momo: "Very good, the road is out, Momo quickly let someone help bring these flowers and trees back. Speaking of which, steward Qin has a heart, and the young lady mentioned it last year. After saying that, it would be good to be able to appreciate cinnabar and osmanthus, Qin
The steward sent someone to plant a few plants in the Jinxiu Garden. I thought I came to Kyoto this year, and I missed seeing you again. I never thought that he would send someone to ship the osmanthus from Jingling City. The lady must be very happy to see it. of. There were a lot of people around, and because they heard someone calling for the master to come, everyone's eyes were focused on Jin Lan, Qi Momo and others, and when they heard these words, they felt something was wrong. : Steward Qin, Jinxiu Garden, Jingling City... Why doesn't it sound like these osmanthus trees were bought by the Su family
Yes, but it seems that someone specially gave it to Miss Biao who just returned from the Su family
Someone couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked the boatman in Xingshun's boat who was guarding the osmanthus trees: "Are these osmanthus trees for Miss Su Jiabiao?"
The boatman might not have reacted for a while, so he shook his head honestly: "It's for Miss Mu."
"Miss Mu? Isn't that the cousin of the Su family, the owner of Niyunfang and Buxianlou, right?"
"Ah, it's for the Dongjia Mu girl."
Hearing these words, many people tsk tut in their hearts and praise, generous, really generous! However, four large ships were used to transport cinnabar and osmanthus, and there were three more behind!
"The two boats behind are also loaded with cinnabar and osmanthus?"
The boatman shook his head: "That's not it, those two boats were loaded with gifts from the people of Jingling City to Miss Mu."
"The people gave it to Miss Mu?" "Well, isn't this the end of the autumn harvest? The people remembered Miss Mu in their hearts, so they each brought some food, fruits and vegetables, but many things were inconvenient to transport and could not fit on the boat. , I only selected half of them and sent them over. Our owner was scolded because of this, saying that we were sailing happily.
The ship is too small. "
Looking at the simple and honest face of the boatman, the gentleman who was asking the question looked at the big boats, and couldn't help but pouted: If the boat was bigger, it would not be able to run away on the Bian River, really... I really don't know what to say. …
With the previous experience of transporting Mu Yunyao's luggage, this time, when Mama Qi went out, she deliberately brought some more people, just because she was afraid that there would not be enough people, but now it seems that there are still fewer people, while ordering people to carry things, On the other hand, let people go back to the manor and report the matter to the eldest lady.
The three boats at the back had eaten very deep water, and the things on them must have been very heavy. This time, I am afraid that all the servants in the house will be pulled over.
After the eldest lady heard the news, the smile on her face could hardly be maintained: "I brought all the people from the east courtyard, but it is not enough. Did you move all the Jingling City here?" The servant in charge of the reply I was terrified: "Reporting to Madam, there are a few osmanthus trees on the boat, and I heard that there are gifts from the people of Jingling City behind them. Three big boats are loaded, and they can't be piled up on the dock. Now It's getting late, hurry up and move it to the mansion
In other words, it can still be sent into the house before it gets dark. If it is delayed, there will be many people on the street in the evening, and it will be very difficult to transport things when the crowd is crowded. "
The eldest lady folded her palms, her eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Then send someone to transport them quickly, we can't send gifts to the door, but we don't have anyone to bring them back to the house. Isn't this a joke?"
"Yes, that servant will go to the Western Court to borrow some people."
The eldest lady waved her hand very irritably: "Go." Last time, there were not enough people to transport the luggage, and it took several trips in a row to move everything back to the house. It was a joke for the people in Kyoto. It's a repeat, and it seems that the situation is even more serious than the last time. I don't know what the rumors of the Kyoto battle will turn out after today.
Come? Thinking of this, the eldest lady felt that she was short of breath and her chest was suffocating: Su Qing and Mu Yunyao seemed to be inseparable with the Su family. It was only half a month since they came back to the Su family, which made her feel better than before. One more year of heartbreak! It seems that we really need to think of some ways, and we can't keep those stones out of the way!
