Chapter 49

White walls, clean wooden floors, suspended ceilings, and many potted plants hanging on the walls. There are various flowers and plants in those potted plants. Those flowers and plants are not very precious, but each pot is very elegant. She also wrote various answers to the riddles on the flowerpot. When the scholars saw it, they couldn't help being arty, which added a bit of elegance.

The whole room is elegant and unique, not as luxurious as other high-end restaurants, but it has a warm atmosphere.

This is the restaurant Ling Muer prepared. After discussion by the whole family, it was named Lingjia Restaurant.

The layout in the lobby is warm, simple and easy to organize. The backyard is their residence, where the design is a little more complicated. For example, each room has a bathroom and a hut, and the interior design is very delicate. Ancient people liked to use large barrels for bathing, which are easy to move. Ling Muer changed it into a wooden tank, and it can still hold water.

The hut is a better explanation. There is certainly no way to design a toilet with a sitz bath here. All the huts are squat. However, there is a pipe below that can flow into a large cesspit. Design one in each room, so you don't have to worry about squeezing the toilet, and you don't have to be embarrassed if you separate men and women.

The back yard is huge. Ling Mu'er was like arranging Shangguan Shaochen's yard. She divided the yard into three and planted all kinds of flowers and herbs around it. One part of the large area is two, half of which is planted with herbs, and half of which is planted with vegetables and fruits. When it’s the autumn harvest season, the yard is full of the aroma of fresh food, and you don’t have to worry about being hungry when you open your eyes every day.

Ling Ziyu's room is designed with a wall bookshelf and a very exquisite desk. She also drew many samples of small educational toys, and asked Ling Zixuan to find a handy master to make them, and now she has brought them all. As soon as Ling Ziyu came here, he immediately got into his room and started playing with those exquisite toys.

Yang Shi and Ling Dazhi's room was covered with carpet, which was very comfortable for them to step on. She also prepared the earth dragon, once stepping in here, it is very warm.

In addition, Ling Muer also designed a very comfortable chair. Mrs. Yang sat there doing needlework, and when she was tired, she lay down there and covered herself with a thin quilt, which would make her feel much more comfortable. Ling Dazhi likes to smoke dry cigarettes on the kang. There is no kang here, only the big soft bed she prepared. But it won't be cold here.

Ling Zixuan's room was designed according to his liking. It wasn't until today that Ling Mu'er knew that Ling Zixuan liked to do woodcarving designs.

He prepared a set of wood carving tools for himself. All the tables and chairs at home were designed by Ling Zixuan himself. Ling Muer didn't participate in this aspect, and let him play. So Ling Zixuan's room is divided into two parts, one is his bedroom and the other is his studio. There are already some works in there. Ling Muer saw that the flowers and birds carved by Ling Zixuan were lifelike, like works of art.

As for Ling Muer's room, everything was decorated according to her preferences. After all, she is a girl, although she was raised as a man before, and she bears the same pressure as a man. However, she also has princess-like dreams. Therefore, the color tone in her room is mainly pink. Pink bedding, pink slippers, pink nightdresses, pink...everything.

The last is Shangguan Shaochen's room.

good! Shangguan Shaochen has status in their family, so a room was prepared for him.

Shangguan Shaochen's room is mainly black and white. In modern terms, it is European style. As soon as you step in here, you can feel the hard breath that belongs to a man.

"Cousin, your room is really nice." Nangong Yiyi stepped into Shangguan Shaochen's room, and immediately lay down on Shangguan Shaochen's bed. "It's so soft! It's softer than ours. Cousin, let's not go back, just stay here! You can just be a door-to-door son-in-law. If you don't want to, I will!"

Yang was overjoyed to hear it. She smiled and said, "Okay! I like this child quite a lot, so let's stay and be the door-to-door son-in-law!"

Ling Mu'er turned her head to look at Nangong Yizhi, and said to Yang Shi, "Mother, his family has already engaged him."

Yang gave Ling Muer a glance: "It's just an engagement, but not a marriage. Besides, it was arranged for him by his family, and he didn't find it himself. If you two really love each other, those problems are not a problem."

"Mother, I didn't expect that your thoughts... have surpassed the millennium." Ling Muer gave Yang a thumbs up. "Congratulations. You will be the wisest mother-in-law ever."

"What is mother-in-law? Can't it be mother-in-law? I don't worry about your brother, I worry about you." Yang sighed: "My daughter is too capable, who will dare to marry her in the future!"

Nangong Yizhi looked at Ling Muer narrowly, and bumped Ling Muer's shoulder with his own: "Did you hear that? You are too strong, no one dares to marry you."

Shangguan Shaochen brought up Nangong Yizhi and threw him out. He closed the door and said lightly: "Be quiet. Don't pay attention to him."

Yang laughed: "Your cousin is quite cute. Don't be so strict with him. It can be seen that he is a good boy."

"Mother, in your eyes, who is not a good boy? You are used to giving good comments to everyone." Ling Muer made fun of Yang Shi and said, "Father, mother, two big brothers, what do you think about your own room?" If you are not satisfied, you can modify it now. If you don’t say it today, it will be very troublesome to modify it later.”

"Such a nice house, such a nice yard, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? I can wake up from my dreams with a smile." Yang said to Ling Dazhi, "Is that so, father."

"That's right!" Ling Dazhi said, "Mu'er, didn't you say you wanted to pick up your grandmother and uncle to live here? Are their rooms ready?"

"Father, why are you worried about my work? There were originally seven rooms, but I modified them and expanded five rooms. So there are twelve rooms in total. We need five rooms here. Grandmother and uncle If I come, I will be ready. Grandma lives alone, uncle and Xiaohu live, and of the remaining three rooms, one is used as a guest room, and the other two are used as servants' rooms. Four beds are placed in each servant's room .Two rooms can accommodate eight servants. For our family, it should be enough."

"Servant?" Yang was surprised. "Should we still buy servants?"

"If the business is so good that we are too busy, we will definitely need servants. Don't worry, mother, I will make arrangements. You don't need to worry about those things." Ling Muer smiled. "Any questions?"

"No." Everyone looked at Ling Muer, who was getting more and more majestic, and instinctively shook their heads.

Nangong Yizhi's voice came from outside: "Sister Mu'er helped me prepare a room. Then I'll go and see my room first."

Ling Muer: "..."

Everyone: "..."

The corners of Shangguan Shaochen's mouth twitched, and he rubbed the aching brows.

He really wanted to send him back. But seeing that in order to help him, even the important matters of marriage were used by his own mother, so she reluctantly accommodated him for so long.

Shouldn't he be soft-hearted and send that kid back to Beijing earlier? With that kid's ingenuity, he can completely deal with various situations.

"Brother, don't be angry. Since your cousin wants to live in my house, he will help me with things in the future. My family's food is not free." Ling Muer raised a bright smile.

"Yeah. Just order him around, don't give me face. He has ample food and clothing all these years, and he has never suffered. He should also hone his character." Shangguan Shaochen said lightly.

Nangong Yizhi didn't know that he had been sold by his most admired cousin. He looked at the room called the guest room and praised: "This girl is really smart. So the house can be designed like this. I must take a good look and make it exactly the same when I go back. Living in such a room every day, Surely you don't want to go out?"

All are happy with their new rooms. Next, Ling Muer took Yang Shi and Ling Ziyu shopping.

Men are not at all interested in things like shopping. Ling Muer knew this truth very well, so she didn't force them.

"Mother, let's buy a carriage!" Ling Muer said to Yang Shi: "There is still our family's land in the village, and I will definitely go back in the future. I also want to use the land in the village to grow some vegetables and fruits. When we open a restaurant, it is impossible to only cook pasta or fried rice, and there will also be stir-fried vegetables. The vegetables grown at home are fresh and taste better.”

"You're talking about mother's heart. Mother is also reluctant to part with the land in the village." Yang took her hand and said, "Why don't you buy a bullock cart?"

"The ox cart doesn't have a shed. If it rains, there's no way to go out. Besides, the ox cart is not as stable as the horse cart, and the speed is not as fast as the horse cart." Ling Mu'er said: "The bullock cart is ten taels of silver, and the horse cart is twenty taels of silver. .Our family does not lack these twelve taels now.”

"You still say! It cost one hundred taels to buy a house, and more than a hundred taels to rebuild that house, and now there is not much left. Although my mother is illiterate, this account can still be calculated clearly. Next We also need to prepare a lot of ingredients, which cost money. So we have to spend it quickly, and we can't waste money anymore," Yang said.

"Yes." Ling Mu'er always listened to Yang's nagging to save money, don't spend money recklessly, and must spend it tight. Yang said such things every day, and she listened to them every day. However, she didn't dislike Yang's wordiness at all, and she didn't think she was meddling. Because this is her mother... She nags and nags her because of care and love.

"Boss, didn't you say that there are no more cloths of this color? Why did she come to buy them?" A woman in the cloth shop yelled sharply: "You are bullying us, right?"

"People use it to make wedding clothes, what do you use it for?" The owner of the cloth shop looked contemptuously at the woman with her belly puffed out. "With a big belly, it's impossible not to be married, right? We don't sell cloth to such unlucky people. If it spreads, who will come to my store to buy things? Go, go, my belly is so big, now You just got married, what kind of wedding clothes do you wear? Just wear a red flower and carry it to someone's house."
