Chapter 177: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 177: Visiting (3)
"Hehe, as long as Yantou is satisfied, I'll go over and have them make the furniture sooner."
Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief secretly upon hearing this. Every time he went there, he had to endure the resentful glances from the carpenters, which was quite stressful for him.
"Grandpa Li, why don't you have lunch first before going? There's no rush." Mo Yan suggested.
"Hehe, going there won't take long. If I have lunch first, those carpenters won't be able to eat." Li Zhong joked as he picked up the blueprints and left.
Initially, Mo Yan had wanted to ask the local carpenters for help with making the furniture. However, although their craftsmanship was decent, they weren't very skilled at fine woodworking like making tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets. Moreover, there were too many things to make, and Mo Yan couldn't handle it alone, so she had no choice but to ask the carpenter's workshop in the city for help.
At first, Mo Yan was quite dissatisfied with the blueprints provided by the carpenter's workshop. Not only were the designs ordinary, but the patterns were also tacky, featuring either large peonies or phrases like "prosperity and wealth." Perhaps these designs were in line with current aesthetics, but she couldn't appreciate them at all.
In the end, Mo Yan stated her requirements and asked the draftsman to redraw them. Despite numerous revisions, Mo Yan was still not very satisfied, almost driving the draftsman to the brink of collapse. If it weren't for Mo Yan's generous payment, the people at the carpenter's workshop would have thought that Mo Yan was intentionally making trouble.
After idling away for a few days, Mo Yan felt bored and decided to continue taking Xiao Hua into the mountains to search for medicinal herbs with Da Bai.
Now that it was summer, various medicinal herbs had grown on the mountain. Mo Yan wanted to seize the opportunity to collect more and store them in her space. By next year, the seeds produced by these herbs could be scattered on the mountain.
The seeds produced in her space were superior to those sold outside, especially for precious medicinal herbs that couldn't be found in stores.
However, before Mo Yan could leave, unexpected guests arrived.
Seeing the expressionless Xiao Ruiyuan at the door and Xiao Shiyi behind him holding a handful of gift boxes, Mo Yan's eyelid twitched. Was this a visit or a vendetta?!
"So it's Master Xiao, please come in!"
This thought only flashed for an instant, and she immediately welcomed them in with a smile. Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan walking naturally, it was evident that his injuries had recovered well. Mo Yan sincerely felt happy for him. After all, he had made significant contributions to the rapid upgrade of her space!
Xiao Ruiyuan had no idea what was on Mo Yan's mind. When the door opened and he saw the person who had been troubling his thoughts for a long time, that strange feeling surged within him again. To prevent himself from losing control and revealing anything, he clenched his fists and tried to keep a straight face, making the person in front of him believe that he was only here to express gratitude.
If Mo Yan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely say, "You're overthinking it. Even if you didn't try to keep a straight face, I wouldn't be able to tell because you've always had the same expression!"
Seeing that his master came in without saying a word, Xiao Shiyi felt speechless. He could only place the pile of gift boxes he was holding on the table, expressing the intentions of his master and servant, "Miss Mo, my master wishes to express his gratitude for your previous help. Please accept this token of appreciation."
Mo Yan quickly stood up and said to Xiao Ruiyuan, "Master Xiao, you're too polite. Anyone would have lent a helping hand in that situation. There's no need for you to come personally to express your thanks!"
This was originally just a polite remark. However, in Xiao Ruiyuan's ears, it carried a different meaning: she didn't want him to come, she didn't want to see him!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruiyuan's sharp and cold gaze stared directly at Mo Yan, and the chill surrounding him emanated outward.
