Chapter 429 – The Pouring of Money

Trail to large cobblestones all the way paved, and shoes stepped on it is very comfortable, left and right there are similar to willow plants hanging down, the front of the breeze gently sent, fragrant and pleasant, raw in the cold winter months feel out of the February spring breeze.

With the wear out of the trail clouds and fog, the eyes open up. If the small area before the rockery is considered a garden, then after the winding path is a wide garden with no boundaries.

Indeed there is no boundary, at least Xue Mu can’t see where the wall is at a glance. Pavilions and pavilions, all kinds of flowers and plants, all over the world, right in the center is a big lake, on which floats several small boats, you can swim in the lake to enjoy the scenery of the kind. The lake is not a regular circle, seems to have a mysterious pattern, the lake and the diversion, forming several streams, trickling in different directions, not into the surrounding flowers and trees in the jungle.

In the fragrance of flowers, colorful butterflies fluttered and limp birds danced, even without music, people felt the beauty of the natural music of birds.

The most shocking thing is that at this time the weather is cold, it has been snowing for several days before stopping early this morning, resulting in thin ice on the lake surface at this time, not suitable for canoeing. So there were many guards around reaching into the lake, using artificial true qi to make warmth, slowly driving away the floating ice, making the lake warm again.

“The city will play.” Xue Mu muttered.

Immediately, a strong sense of disbelief rose in his heart. This sense of luxury was almost the opposite of Xiahou Di’s attributes, wouldn’t Xiahou Di be dissatisfied with this? Will not dissuade him? Even if the childhood and then close, but if the three views of the day under the conflict, one day will be farther and farther away, right?

As if she could tell what he was thinking, Ji Wuyou laughed and said, “Does Chief Xue think that Wuyou is too extravagant?”

Xue Mu didn’t hide it and directly replied, “Not bad. King Qi has great ambitions, but isn’t he afraid of the bad comments from the court and the countryside if he is so indulging in pleasure, which is not favorable to the matter?”

“General Manager Xue has misunderstood.” Ji Wuyou smiled and pointed to a flower tree, saying, “This is the Purple Rutabaga Dan Flower, which has the effect of benefiting the qi and strengthening the dan and catalyzing the dan sea, and is hard to find for ten thousand gold. This is still a mid-grade level in the garden, the wonders in this entire Forgotten Sorrow Garden combined, I’m afraid that your clan’s collection of a thousand years can’t even compare to this.”

Xue Mu’s face was expressionless: “Even if my clan has a collection, it’s still a dead thing, not a living plant, and even less for viewing, so I really don’t dare to compare it with this garden.”

Ji Wuyou lost his smile and said, “It’s rare that General Manager Xue also has moments of bewilderment. The truth is that apart from the ground here being mine, only a very small portion of the rest is.”

Xue Mu froze and was enlightened.

“For example, this Purple Rutilated Dan Flower belongs to Servant Liu of the Ministry of Revenue. Mr. Liu is also a man of integrity, the family good things are not many, rare to get such a plant, they keep it looks lonely, not only do not look good, but also laborious and difficult to raise, so sent in my place, since someone together to take care of. When he wants to use it, he will move it away.” Ji Wuyou walked slowly, casually explaining, “Everyday, this garden is also open for tour parties and charges. The fees collected are used to maintain the garden, basically equalizing the costs. If it’s not enough, I’ll make up for it, and if there’s a surplus, it’ll be distributed to the senders.”

Xue Mu listened to a slight movement in his heart and asked, “Qi Wang did this, some years?”

“Well …… in the earlier years one would also have to go through a lot of trouble to lobby and plead, or pay out of their pockets to rent. Later on, everyone got used to it and would instead send it over themselves. Seeing the beauty of the Garden of Forgetfulness, everyone is also honored.”

I’m afraid it’s not about being honored, but not only don’t bother raising oddities, someone else will help raise them, and occasionally there’s a bit of extra money, so why not?

The most crucial thing is that this is a terrifying force that can be transformed into a political force at any time!

Ji Wuyou leisurely ordered again, “Nah, that’s Black Woo, one of the important materials for war puppets, Elder Yu of the Divine Mechanic Sect deposited it here.”

Xue Mu let out a breath and shook his head and smiled.

Such courtiers’ interactions might not necessarily be counted as a direct boost to the fight for position, but it was much easier to transform, and the officials were naturally inclined to do so. Of course, there will be courtiers who do not see eye to eye impeachment against this matter, counting the benefits always outweigh the disadvantages is. The most crucial thing is that this is not extravagant, there is nothing to attack on character, as long as there is no relevant prohibition on the law of the dynasty, then there is no problem.

This Ji eight is a capable person ah, no wonder Xiahou Di will say that her eighth brother has the ability. This means looks much more powerful than Lao Jiu ……

Ji Wuyou wasn’t afraid to expose his strength in front of Xue Mu, this kind of thing wasn’t a secret after all, Xue Mu would always know. Telling him openly and honestly, but instead showing the ability and the bottom line, is considered a kind of cooperation test without being humble.

How Xue Mu would feel about this kind of thing was actually quite hard to say. Normally he wouldn’t choose a prince whose power was already established, the Star Moon Sect wouldn’t be able to take advantage of it, but at the same time he certainly wouldn’t choose a piece of slime that couldn’t be helped, that would only be bad. If there is no other better choice, then there is Xiahou Di’s relationship in it, choose a climatic Qi Wang dip a little light is not impossible to consider.

The difference lay in whether Star Moon Sect was choosing a puppet, or whether King Qi was soliciting a cooperative force.

Ji Wuyou laughed, “Is General Manager Xue relieved?”

Xue Mu laughed, “It’s a bit interesting. King Qi has given Xue a lot of inspiration.”

Ji Wuyou laughed, “Chief Executive Xue is actually against extravagance, this is quite surprising to Wuyou, I thought Chief Executive Xue preferred singing and dancing.”

Xue Mu smiled, “Two different things.”

Over there, Mo Xuexin looked a bit strange, Ji Wuyou said what she wanted to say. Xue Mu actually really is the same as she is not accustomed to this kind of extravagance …… hell, this is not consistent with the impression he usually gives people ah ……

That said, Xue Mu seems to have accepted Ji Wuyou’s explanation and is quite appreciative of it, but Mo Xuexin’s heart is still a bit blocked, always feel that this approach is not right, but exactly where it is not right and can not say.

Xue Mu and Ji Wuyou conversation, the side of the crowd did not interrupt, are listening quietly, see two people seem to say open, talk to each other, the atmosphere has returned to warm. That young girl who always sticks to Xue Mu’s side once again stuck over, “How did General Manager Xue write such a good story, teach me …….”

Xue Mu some strange feeling, although he is now by some young girls inverted is quite normal, but by curry night stirred once still tireless words, this is a bit of that, at least the capital of the famous lady, do not be reserved?

He didn’t move and smiled: “Words come from life, write what you see and hear can be.”

The young girl said, “Could it be that General Manager Xue has also seen a sky full of Gods and Buddhas? Otherwise how could you write Journey to the West?”

“Oh, that’s not what Mister Xue is talking about. Look at the wandering swordsman and Qian Qian, Qing’er and Xiao Mu, the lecher and the constable, all sorts of passionate actions and all sorts of molds, these are all things that Xue Mou has seen, so he wrote it in a more immersive manner.”

“Pff ……” a bunch of people laughed and sprayed, that young girl was red in the face, stuttering, “Chief Xue molested people.”

Laughter, the crowd to the lake, the lake is a very large lawn, in this climate grass also contains ice flowers, looks crystal dream. On the lawn, there are some tables and chairs, on top of which are all fruits, vegetables and wine, a typical place for enjoying the scenery.

Xue Mu wanted to see what that young girl really meant, so he said to Zhuo Qingqing, “Curry Night doesn’t like to sit around and talk about literature, so Qingqing will take her around to play?”

Zhuo Qingqing looked at him with a wink and smiled as she held Curry Night, “Then let’s wander around, and you can drink less wine.”

Curry Night originally wanted to say, “I also want to see you guys talk about literature”, but just as his voice came out, he was dragged away by Zhuo Qingqing, who held down his little mouth. ……

Seeing the two “obstacles” gone, that young girl immediately joyfully said: “I’ll refill the wine for Mr. Xue ……”.

This time there are other people do not agree: “Yi Yi, you are too much ah, who do not want to ask for more benefits from the Xue chief, you alone?”

Another scribe coaxed: “Why don’t we let Mr. Xue pick his own, and let him sit with whichever one he likes ……”.

This is a very rude statement, the presence of the capital is a famous young lady, but not the kind of “Miss”, how can a man pick the reason to accompany the seat? But the strange thing is that the presence of young ladies actually did not have half a person upset, but instead, all smiling: “Xue chief pick me ah, I’m prettier than Yi Yi.”

That Yiyi stuttered and ran to jostle with the loudest person, Xue Mu glanced around and saw a young girl who was a quiet spectator in the midst of all the laughing and jostling, his heart moved slightly and pointed over, “How about that young lady accompanying Xue to have a seat?”

Looking at Xue Mu’s hand, Mo Xue Xin was dumbfounded.
