The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 217 Garden Tour

Jiang Li and the other three arrived at Xie's house. Zhou Bo came out to greet them upon hearing the news, smiling broadly: "My Lord, you are back!"

He then greeted Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang: "Greetings, Lord Shen, and Lord Mo."

Mo Qilang smiled and asked, "Have the plum blossoms in the garden bloomed?"

Zhou Bo smiled and said, "It's open!"

Mo Qilang smiled and said to Jiang Li: "That's great, let's start from the Winter Garden."

"The garden is designed according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. I will call it that for now. In the end, it will be up to you two owners to name the garden."

Shen Muchun also smiled and said, "There are also plaques and couplets, which are absolutely indispensable. Sixteenth sister, it's up to you."

Jiang Li was overwhelmed when she heard this. How could she compose poetry?

She looked at Xie Changan, who spread his hands and said, "I am just a warrior, so I don't know anything."

Jiang Li rolled his eyes and waved to Qing Feng who was following behind him: "Take my name card and go invite the two principals of Longmen Academy and Mr. Cui of Longmen Bookstore. Tell them that I am inviting them to visit the garden."

She can't, but she can conscript men!

Qingfeng and his companions took the order and left.

Led by Mo Qilang, everyone began to tour the garden.

After entering the gate, you will see a range of green mountains in front of you, covered with green moss and vines, blocking the view of the entire garden.

Going around this place, you will see lush and green trees and winding paths leading to secluded places.

There are also pavilions, terraces, and multi-story buildings, hidden among the uneven trees, stacked rocks and flowing springs, connected by winding corridors, cleverly blending into the natural landscape.

The garden, which is designed with landscapes of the four seasons of "spring, summer, autumn and winter", surrounds the main building in the center.

The garden landscape is dominated by water, with undulating corridors and reflections on the water, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

There are also pleasure boats and black boats in the water, creating a Jiangnan scenery.

Although it is winter and the trees are withered, every mountain, stone, flower and tree are unique. One can imagine how magnificent the scenery of this garden will be when spring comes.

Jiang Li was amazed, especially at the little mechanism hidden by Mo Qilang in the garden scenery, which made her marvel.

There are rock houses, secret paths in the woods, fancy fountains, and luminous stones that glow at night and are decorated all over the garden...

She was dazzled by the sight and loved every one of them.

After visiting several gardens, we finally arrived at the Tingyu Tower in the center of the lotus pond.

This was Jiang Li's earliest idea. When designing the garden landscape, Master Ji retained her desire for a small building in the lake where she could "listen to the wind, rain and falling flowers."

Everyone sat down in the building.

Mo Qilang smiled and said, "Little Sixteen, I have slightly renovated your Tingyu Tower."

Jiang Lixi asked, "What other tricks have you hidden?"

I don’t know where Mo Qilang pressed the button, but I heard a “creasing” sound, and the entire second floor began to slowly rotate!

This Tingyu Tower is built on an island in the middle of the lake. It is located at a higher altitude. Sitting upstairs, one can overlook the entire garden.

Mo Qillang actually transformed it into a rotating pavilion. People can sit on it and have a panoramic view of the garden scenery in all four seasons without having to move.

Jiang Li liked it very much: "Brother Mo Qi, you are so awesome!"

Xie Changan and Shen Muchun were also amazed.

Shen Muchun was extremely envious: "When I get married in the future, can you decorate my house like this for me?"

Mo Qilang smiled and said, "Do you have money? The garden that Xiao Shiliu and the adults built was not cheap."

Shen Muchun was discouraged. Although he was not short of money, how could he compare with the boss of Longmen who made a fortune every day?

What is particularly infuriating is that Jiang Li’s garden was built by Longmen Tiangong.

It is like her money is transferred from left hand to right hand. It is the same as keeping the money within the family. In the end, it flows back into her pocket!

At this time, the two presidents of Longmen Academy and the Cui brothers all arrived.

Jiang Li saw Cui Jue coming excitedly and couldn't help but wonder, "Master Cui is so busy, how can he have time to visit the garden?"

When Qingfeng went to Longmen Bookstore to invite Cui Jing, Cui Jue was also in the bookstore. When he heard that Marquis Jing'an invited his cousin to visit the garden, how could he not come?

Cui Jue said with a smile: "My Lord, since you are finding excuses not to attend court, can't I take a break from my busy life for a little while?"

Jiang Li rolled her eyes: "I have the permission of His Majesty."

If you are envious and jealous, you can also ask the emperor for help!

"Don't blame me for coming here uninvited, my Lord." Cui Jing said with a smile, "Then punish him by making him write a few more couplets for your garden."

As the eldest son of an aristocratic family, Cui Jue was also a man of great literary talent, and was naturally good at reciting poems and composing couplets.

There is one more strong man who doesn’t want any money!

Jiang Li smiled brightly: "That's great. Minister Cui, Mr. Cui, the two heads of the mountain, please come in!"

Feng Wuhu was embarrassed to look at Jiang Li, so after greeting her, he walked with Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang.

Cui Han affectionately held Jiang Li's arm and whispered to her as they walked.

"It is not convenient for the Queen to leave the palace on weekdays. From now on, I will be in charge of the matters of matchmaking, betrothal, the three letters and six ceremonies."

Jiang Li said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Mr. Cui!"

Cui Han smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter. On the day when the Qi Palace was in chaos, you saved Consort De and the eldest prince. Who in the Cui family wouldn't be grateful for your kindness?"

If it weren't for Jiang Li, Cui Jin would have been chased by the rebels. Even if she wasn't injured, she would have been miscarried and the baby in her belly would have been difficult to save.

That’s the eldest prince!

Everyone took another tour and praised this garden, which was so beautiful and ingeniously designed.

Finally, after being drafted by four great talents, the four gardens of "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" were named "Taoyuan Spring Dawn", "Lotus Wind Reflecting the Moon", "Yuntai Autumn Frost" and "Treading Snow to Search for Plum Blossoms" respectively.

Finally, everyone enjoyed the plum blossoms and had a barbecue in the "Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms" garden.

White plum blossoms bloom on the branches, their petals are like snow and their fragrance is refreshing.

The pavilion was filled with exquisite wine vessels and tea sets, and servants were roasting greasy lamb nearby.

Everyone was eating barbecue and drinking wine in the pavilion, which was really a pleasant experience.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the luminous stones began to emit a faint light, like a sky full of stars, falling everywhere in the garden, as beautiful as a fairyland.

The four talented men were inspired to write poetry and began to play drinking games and make couplets.

Jiang Li and Xie Changan had already hidden in the plum forest and were strolling, whispering to each other.

Only Shen Muchun and Mo Qillang were left, staring at each other as they listened to them reciting poems and composing couplets, regretting that they had not read enough books when they needed them.

At this time, Zhou Bo came hurriedly to report: "Sir, Lord, someone is coming from the palace!"

Everyone hurried to the front hall, and it was Yin Jiu who came.

"Brother Yinjiu, what happened?"

Jiang Li asked hurriedly.

Yin Jiu frowned, "The youngest son of the King of Qin is gone."

Everyone was stunned. The youngest son of King Qin died?

Although it is a big event for the Prince of Qin's Palace, it is not enough to alarm His Majesty!

Xie Changan frowned slightly: "But the death is strange?"

Yin Jiu said: "Yes. According to the imperial physician's examination, there are no internal injuries or external injuries, and it is not an acute illness."

Everyone was surprised.

The King of Qin has many heirs, currently four sons and four daughters.

Among them, the eldest son and the youngest son were born to the Princess of Qin, and the other two sons were born to the concubine.

The one who died was his youngest son and the most beloved child of the Princess Qin.

"The young prince was usually very healthy and seldom suffered from minor illnesses. This morning, when the nanny went to wake him up, she found him lying on the bed, motionless, and already dead!"

The King of Qin was horrified and his wife fainted on the spot.

"The imperial physician and the coroner could not find the cause of death. The wet nurse, palace maids, and eunuchs in the young prince's room were all locked up. The officials of the Dali Temple questioned the confessions and investigated the scene, but found nothing."

The Princess of Qin cried and made a fuss, saying that her child must have been murdered, otherwise how could he suddenly disappear?

"Concubine Xiao fainted in front of the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty asks the Marquis, Mr. Xie, and Doctor Shen to come and help."

Empress Dowager Zhang thought of Jiang Li's mysterious methods, so she asked the emperor to summon Marquis Jing'an, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and Shen Muchun to go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to help find out the cause of death of the little prince.

Jiang Li and the other two then confessed their crimes to everyone, followed Yin Jiu, and hurried to the Prince Qin's Mansion.

Jiang Li said to Xie Changan through the heart contract: "I can only control beasts, not ghosts. How can I find out how the little prince died?"

Xie Changan said: "Ask your friends?"

Jiang Li spread his hands and said, "Who should I ask? I didn't release any rats into the Qin Palace. Even if I just catch one and ask, I may not be able to get the answer!

Xie Changan said: "Then we can only act according to circumstances."

When they arrived at the Prince of Qin's palace, the Prince of Qin hurried out to greet them.

His face was haggard, with dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Shen Muchun, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.

"Doctor Shen, please take a look at my son. Is there any hope?"
