What Did These Trees Know of Cultivated Elegance?

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said:

"Luckily, I don't cultivate, so it's fine. From now on, leave these kinds of things to me; I'd love to do it."

Alright, alright, let's see what's in this little bastard's room, shall we?

Logically speaking, this little bastard should be quite spoiled.

They walked straight into the courtyard. And it's true, Xie Cheng'en truly lives up to his reputation as the most favored young master of the Xie Family.

Xie Cheng'en truly lived up to his reputation as the most favored young master of the Xie Family. The vermilion gate alone was quite impressive, and the plaque above the gate, inscribed with "Pillowing on Rosy Clouds Cottage," was a piece of calligraphy personally written by the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty.

The courtyard is exquisite in every way. In the orchid garden outside the warm corridor, pots of Cymbidium ensifolium, Cymbidium sinense, and Cymbidium kanran are arranged in a well-organized manner.

The pure white butterfly orchid among them was a tribute presented by local officials when the Xie Family patriarch went south for an inspection tour. Such a rare and precious item is priceless.

Not to mention the chrysanthemum patch under the corridor, with its black chrysanthemums, golden chrysanthemums, and that extremely rare green chrysanthemum, which ordinary Fugui families would never even see.

The main house is constructed entirely of century-old nanmu wood using mortise and tenon joints, without a single iron nail.

The room was furnished with extravagance; the rosewood bookcase was filled with ancient books, and the huanghuali wood canopy bed was draped with Suzhou embroidery curtains with pure gold hooks.

These trees have no concept of affectation or refinement.

The Old Scholar Tree coughed and said, "Brothers, let's charge!"

The Old Scholar Tree was the first to rush in, followed by the other trees. There were just too many courtyards here, more than twenty in total.

These trees can't be moved all at once, but the Xie Family has plenty of them.

There are hundreds of trees that are hundreds of years old, and the more prestigious the family, the more of those trees they have.

Moreover, they are all rare varieties, Zhou Wanwan clicked her tongue twice:

Ginkgo, yew, boxwood, dawn redwood, poplar, Chinese torreya, Scots pine, larch, birch, red pine...

It's actually pretty good!

The yew tree was overjoyed!

"I can walk now! Hahahaha!"

I never imagined I'd be able to walk one day! This is truly a fun thing.

The Old Scholar Tree gave it a good beating and said, "Listen to my orders, no laughing, get to work, we're very pressed for time, the rooster will crow soon."

The yew trees quickly gathered up, and soon they carried their belongings out of the city.

The Old Scholar Tree laughed heartily:

"We're moving really fast. By the time we get home, it'll probably be before dawn!"

"Wanwan, I want to drink."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "No problem, arrange it."

Ordinary wine is too strong for the Old Scholar Tree to drink, but Zhou Wanwan used the bathwater from the Little Ginseng, along with some grain liquor, which is a great tonic for these trees.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "No problem, arrange it."

These trees didn't just move houses; some even took back things from people's kitchens and warehouses.

One warehouse was filled with all sorts of grains, vegetables, cured meat, fruits...

There was no time to count them all, so Zhou Wanwan sat directly in the carriage. All the horses had been swept away by the big tree, and Zhou Wanwan's carriage was protected by the Big Scholar Tree as they headed towards Black Wind Stronghold.

When they arrived home, it was still dark, so there were hardly any pedestrians on the road, and they had traveled through very remote areas.

They arrived home in about an hour.

All the trees were panting heavily from exhaustion, and Zhou Wanwan quickly helped them by supplying them with energy. They had been carrying heavy loads all the way, so their energy was being used up very quickly.

Zhou Wanwan channeled energy into them, and they all happily lay down on the ground.

Zhou Wanwan had them take out all the wine from the cellar, brewing a total of about a hundred jars.

These big trees have a very high alcohol tolerance; one of them can easily finish several jars of liquor. However, they are all quite sensible, each drinking a bowl.

The yew tree shivered and said, "It feels so good! I feel warm all over. What is this wine? It's amazing!"

Soon all the big trees were drunk; the alcohol was very potent.

They went straight back to their pits, dug around in the dirt, and then went to sleep.

Zhou Wanwan was exhausted, so she found a room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep immediately.

The beds of wealthy families are all different. These beds are made of the finest golden nanmu wood, and the bedding is made of double silk, making them very comfortable to sleep under.

After taking off her clothes, Zhou Wanwan lay down in bed and fell asleep immediately.

The next morning, Liu Su'e was startled when she saw the houses that had appeared. These houses were far too luxurious!

She coughed and asked, "Where... where did all of this come from?"

Zhou Qingyan shook his head and said, "I didn't go out last night, so I don't know, but it did look pretty good."

Zhou Qinghe looked at the flowers and plants in the yard and said, "These flowers are so beautiful."

Zhou Qingchen rushed into the house and was stunned by the furnishings. "This... this is too grand!"

On the table, sheep hair, wolf hair, purple hair, and mixed hair brushes were neatly arranged and categorized.

The display shelf in the corner of the desk was even more extravagant, with more than thirty inkstones, including Duan inkstones, She inkstones, and Chengni inkstones...

Any one of these ingredients would be enough for an ordinary family to eat for several years.

Looking further along the wall, there are four golden nanmu wood bookcases, with the books inside categorized according to classics, history, philosophy, and literature.

From military strategy and tactics to agricultural and medical books, there were even several boxes of rare handwritten copies, packed Manman material in four layers.

After waking up, Zhou Wanwan stretched.

The maids beside her smiled and said, "Miss, wake up!"

These are all children from Liu Family Village. She originally didn't intend to take any maids, but Liu Xiuyuan agree!

"Don't worry, Miss. These children have been trained since they were little, just like the maids who serve young ladies from noble families." Liu Xiuyuan looked at her expectantly.

She had to accept it; all the children knelt down on the ground.

Zhou Wanwan actually didn't want anyone around; she wasn't used to it.

But if she goes to the Upper Capital in the future, she will have to get used to having these maids with her.

Otherwise, if you go to the Upper Capital without any connections or backing, and your family is poor and meager, you will inevitably be ridiculed to your face and gossiped about behind your back by those arrogant and haughty families in the capital.

Zhou Wanwan freshened up and went straight into the next room.

The room next to Xie Cheng'en Chengen's was where he kept all his clothes.

In the corner stood a row of carved pear wood cabinets, all used to store various ornaments: black jade thumb rings, belt hooks inlaid with pigeon blood rubies, ivory pendants, and several jade hairpins adorned with pearls...

There were several gilded lacquer boxes next to her. She casually opened one, and it was full of jewelry and jade, so dazzling that it was hard to open one's eyes.

Looking at the other clothes rack, there were long robes and tight-fitting clothes made of brocade, the materials of which were rare even among the nobles of the capital, such as Yun brocade and Shu brocade.

Several pairs of cloud-patterned, jade-inlaid black boots were laid out at his feet, clearly made by a master craftsman, each exuding the grandeur of a wealthy family.
