Chapter 296
~ MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL IN THE CAPITAL ~
During the Mid Autumn Festival, just after the harvest, the streets are crowded with people who come out to buy things for the Mid Autumn Festival . Many young masters and students of aristocratic families also got leave, and they came out one after another to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Capital . Today was a rare day where there was no curfew, allowing them to linger outside and admire the Capital’s night view .
At this moment, several large ships docked at the pier . The boatmen wore Xing Shun Boat Company’s logo clothes carefully moved the boats’ things to the shore .
Initially, people who saw these ships were just a little curious, but after seeing the goods being transported off the boat, they couldn’t help but stare with wide eyes .
“Then . . . What kind of tree is that? It looks like an osmanthus tree from so far away, but the color of the osmanthus flowers is actually orange-red?”
“It’s Cinnabar Osmanthus . The color is so beautiful . Whose family is it that has such a large sum of money to use ships to transport the Cinnabar Osmanthus to the Capital?”
The Cinnabar Osmanthus trees were carefully being carried down from the boat and placed on both sides of the dock . The orange-red flowers were incomparably beautiful, and clusters of them attracted people’s attention under the setting of green leaves .
The news spread like wildfire, causing more and more people to come to watch the show .
When Qi Mama brought her servants to the pier, they were shocked by the surrounding crowd of onlookers . There were three floors inside and three outside . It could be said that there was no way out . Just what rare thing had they brought here that could attract so many people?
Jin Lan stood at the side with an anxious expression . “Qi Mama, quickly send someone to retrieve this item . After all, it was brought all the way here for Miss . It can’t be damaged in the slightest . ”
“It’s just that there are too many people here . . . ”
At this moment, someone shouted, “Those in front, move out of the way . Someone from the main house has come to move things . ”
Everyone had long been curious as to who was the one who had made such a big move . Upon hearing the host’s arrival, all of them immediately looked over .
“Is that the Su family?”
“Isn’t it? It’s the Su family of Shangshu Mansion!”
“No wonder they could make such a big move, Cinnabar Osmanthus . Furthermore, it is so tall, and its flowers are so lush and colorful . There is no damage to it when it is transported all the way from Jiangnan . I’m afraid the cost is not small . ”
“Who can say no? In the past, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Su family has never made such a big move . Speaking of it, they really do have a deep foundation . It is probably the first time that they have sent Cinnabar Osmanthus from Jiangnan to the Capital, right?”
“Anyway, I’ve never heard of it before … For ordinary officials, it would be good if they could get a potted plant or two . It is a large tree that has already grown into a forest . It will take them at least ten years to grow up . ”
Seeing that the crowd opened up a path, Jin Lan quickly said to Qi Mama, “That’s great . The path is open . Mama, please get someone to help us move back the trees and flowers . Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Qin was indeed considerate . Last year, Miss mentioned that it would be great if she could appreciate that Cinnabar Osmanthus . Shopkeeper Qin then sent someone to plant a few stalks in Jin Xiu Garden . Initially, she thought that she would come to the Capital this year and she would have no chance of meeting it again, but who would have thought that Shopkeeper Qin would actually send someone to transport the osmanthus tree over from Jingling City . Miss must be surprisingly happy to see it . ”
Quite a few people were surrounding them . When they heard someone call the main house over, everyone’s gazes focused on Jin Lan, Qi Mama, and the rest . When they heard these words, they felt that something was wrong: Shopkeeper Qin, Jin Xiu Garden, Jingling City . Why did it sound like these osmanthus trees were not bought by the Su family?! On the contrary, it looked like someone had specially sent it to Miss Biao, who has just returned from the Su family?
Someone could not contain their curiosity and asked the boatman from Xing Shun Boat Company, who was guarding the osmanthus trees, “Are these osmanthus trees for the Su family’s Young Miss?”
The boatman could not react in time and honestly shook his head . “It is for Miss Mu . ”
“Miss Mu? Isn’t that the Su family’s Young Miss Biao? The owner of the Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, right? “
“Ah, it is for Young Miss Mu . ”
Upon hearing this, many people inwardly exclaimed in admiration . It was such an enormous investment, really a big one! However, four ships were used to transport the Cinnabar Osmanthus, and there were three more followings!
“The other three ships behind also have Cinnabar Osmanthus?”
The boatman shook his head . “That’s not the case . Those two boats are carrying gifts given to Miss Mu by the people of Jingling City . ”
“The people gave it to Lady Mu?”
“Hmm, isn’t this the end of the Autumn Harvest? With Miss mu in mind, the people sent some food, fruits, and vegetables . However, many things were inconvenient to transport, and the boat could not hold them, so they only brought half of them . Our masters were scolded because of this, saying that the ship we built on Xing Shun Boat Company was too small . “
Looking at the boatman’s honest face, the young master, who was speaking at the side, sized up the big ships and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth . If this boat was a little bigger, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be able to get out on the Bianhe river . He really didn’t know what to say . …
With the previous experience of transporting Mu Yunyao’s luggage, when Qi Mama went out this time, she specially brought extra people with her, just that she was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough people . But now, it seemed like she still led fewer people with her . Qi Mama instructed people to move things . She also ordered people to return to the residence to report the matter to the Eldest Madam .
The three boats at the back were deep in water, and the things on them must be heavy . This time, they were going to pull all the servants in residence over .
When the Eldest Madam heard the news, she could not maintain her smile . “I’ve brought all the people in from the East courtyard over, and it’s still not enough . Did she move all of Jingling City over?”
The servant in charge of the reply said fearfully, “Reporting to Madam . There are some osmanthus trees on the boat . I heard that there are also gifts from the people of Jingling City . There are a total of three large ships, and even the pier is crowded . It’s not early anymore . If we hurry up and move to the mansion, we can still take it into the residence before dark . If we continue to delay, there will be more people on the streets in the evening . It’s not easy to transport goods in a crowded place . “
The Eldest Madam closed her palms as a cold glint flashed across her eyes . “Then send someone to deliver the gift quickly . We can’t allow others to send a gift to our doorstep, yet we don’t have the people to move back to the house . Isn’t this a joke?”
“Yes, then this servant will go to the West Courtyard to borrow some people . ”
The Eldest Madam waved her hands irritably . “Go on . ”
Last time, there were not enough people to transport the luggage . After running a few times, they finally managed to move everything back to the mansion, which was already a joke for the Capital’s people . But now, it’s happening again . Furthermore, the situation seemed to be even worse than last time . Now I don’t know what will come out of the rumors of the Capital dispute after today?
At the thought of this, the Eldest Madam felt that her breath was not smooth and her chest was very stuffy: Su Qing and Mu Yunyao seemed to be naturally antagonistic to the Su family . It was only half a month since they returned to the Su family, which made her feel more congested than in the past year! It seems that we really need to think of some ways . We can’t let those stones stand there all the time!
