Chapter 15: No way if you don’t go

Since I saw the flowers she planted in Zheng Qing's garden, Chen Wanrong has the idea of ​​making perfume. But this time I was too busy and couldn't take time. The flowerbed in Qiandi was much larger than Zheng Qing's flowerbed. If I didn't use it for perfume, I would be so sorry for myself.

There are many ways to make perfume. The raw materials you need do not necessarily have to use flowers, roots, stems, and leaves as raw materials. Such a large flower bed will remove a lot of raw materials after repairing it in one day, and the loss is huge. Therefore, Chen Wanrong did not need a gardener to repair it.

Chen Wanrong said something, and Wang Han then asked, "Brother Chen, what is the perfume?"

"Perfume is a kind of water with fragrance." Chen Wanrong explained in a way they could understand: "In order to dress up, women always use rouge powder. With perfume, they can do not use rouge powder. They just need to apply a little on their body and they can be fragrant."

This is the truth. Zheng Qing felt a little embarrassed when she heard it. She gave Chen Wanrong a blank look and started to complain: "It's so ugly."

Chen Wanrong also knew that he had a grammatical problem and smiled and said, "It's that meaning anyway. The advantage of perfume over rouge powder is that it is easy to use, has a durable fragrance and will not dissipate for a long time."

Wu Daozi also understood and asked, "In other words, this perfume will be very popular. Brother Chen has found another way to make money. Congratulations to Brother Chen!"

Once perfume is launched, it will definitely be popular in the Tang Dynasty and be sought after by wealthy families. It is a great way of wealth. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Wu. Four uncles, I dare to ask about your surname."

The white-bearded gardener hurriedly said, "Master, how dare you say it's expensive? My surname is Wu, his surname is Zhao, his surname is Liu, and his surname is Meng."

"It turns out it's Wu, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Liu, Uncle Meng." Chen Wanrong greeted him one by one: "Uncle Wu, how many gardeners are there? Who is managing it? I think there is no one in the yard."

Zhao Bo replied: "Master, we have sixteen people and twelve gardeners, who are in charge of the flower garden. Three servants clean the yard, and General Niu is watching us. Over the years, there is no difference between gardeners and servants. Everyone goes to clean the yard and repair the flower garden. Everyone comes, and no one cares about the previous assignment."

I have nothing to do for more than 20 years. Everyone has work together and rest together. This is how to pass the time. Chen Wanrong understands their boring mood and smiles: "Uncle Wu, please gather everyone together. I have something to say."

"Oh!" Wu Bo responded happily: "Master, please come with me." He walked in his head.

Chen Wanrong followed him forward. There were paths made of stones between the flowerbeds, and there were no carved railings or painted buildings, and there were no white jade steps. Except for the large scale, it was no different from the flowerbeds of ordinary people. There were several pavilions in the flowerbeds, which were not surprising at all except that they were exquisitely built. The stone tables and chairs inside the pavilion were also very ordinary.

No wonder Ruizong gave me the Qiandi Mansion. It turned out that the decorations here were not as valuable as the vanity of the "Emperor's Qiandi Mansion". If you give such a house to the important ministers, even if you don't say it, you will be unhappy because it is too ordinary, and it is better to build it yourself.

It would be more appropriate to give Chen Wanrong. First, Chen Wanrong's rank is too low and Qiandi is worthless. Second, he uses Qiandi's glory to show his favor to Chen Wanrong, so that those who are interested in Chen Wanrong can consider it carefully.

Chen Wanrong, who figured out the truth, was a little funny again. Ruizong made a mistake and helped Chen Wanrong to fulfill his wish and accidentally gave Chen Wanrong the opportunity to show off. As long as there is this flower garden, it is totally worth it.

The fragrance of flowers was fragrant and intoxicating. When he came to a pavilion in front, Uncle Wu said respectfully: "Master, please wait here, let's call."

"Okay!" Chen Wanrong stood in the pavilion, looking around, flowers blooming, it was a fairyland on earth. After a brief estimate, Chen Wanrong thought that this flower garden would be enough for the perfume I had made for a long time. If it was not enough, I could buy another one elsewhere. In that case, the perfume production would be able to be produced on a large scale.

Zheng Qing and the others were also surprised by the size of the flower garden and praised it endlessly.

After a while, footsteps sounded and a group of people came over. Chen Wanrong saw that these people looked old, about 40 or 50 years old. The person walking in his head was slightly bigger, with thick eyebrows, wearing a coarse cloth clothes, and had new mud on his feet. He was quite smart and bowed to Chen Wanrong and said, "Niu Shangxin has met his master."

The people behind him said together: "I've met the master."

"Come on, sit down and talk." Chen Wanrong greeted them warmly. They were all experienced gardeners, which was too valuable to Chen Wanrong. Besides, they were older than Chen Wanrong, so they could not be respected. Respecting the elderly is Chen Wanrong's virtue.

Seeing that Chen Wanrong was easy-going and had no airs, everyone was not polite. They found a seat in the pavilion and sat down, looked at Chen Wanrong, and waited for Chen Wanrong's instructions.

Chen Wanrong first introduced himself: "My name is Chen Wanrong. I am loved by the Emperor and I will use the Qiandi Palace for me. Over the years, you have made great contributions to protecting the Qiandi Palace. I have thanked you here."

"The master is so serious, so he dare not take it." Niu Shangxin spoke on behalf of everyone.

Chen Wanrong smiled kindly: "The first rule I set for you is to not call me the master in the future, just call me the boss. I want to ask you to do things."

Uncle Wu waved his hands: "Master, this is not OK."

Chen Wanrong's face sank: "Uncle Wu, don't say much, just do it like this. I tell you, I want to ask you to help me with your work, I will give you wages, you are my employers, what's wrong with this?"

Uncle Zhao smiled and said, "Master...Boss, we are all old, how can we do it? Aren't you losing money?"

This was very agreed by everyone, and they echoed in unison: "Yes. In addition to being able to pick up flowers and plants, we can't even do it."

Chen Wanrong comforted them: "Don't worry. I just want to ask you to help me clean up the flowers and plants. It doesn't matter if you can't do it anymore. I'll invite some young and strong people to do it. You can watch and give me some advice."

This is a good method, but they took too much advantage. Uncle Liu was a little embarrassed: "Boss, aren't you at a loss?"

Chen Wanrong disagreed with his opinion: "Brother Liu, what you said is wrong. You have been guarding the Qiandi Mansion for more than 20 years, and this friendship is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Don't say that you can still do things. Even if you can't do things, I will support you too."

They are all people who stayed by Ruizong, so you don’t have to think that they are highly valued by Ruizong. Chen Wanrong took over Qiandi, so he had to take them over, make a living for them, and support them. Although Ruizong didn’t say it clearly, Chen Wanrong also understood that he wanted to give these people a good home. Suddenly, Chen Wanrong thought that this might be one of the reasons why Ruizong gave Qiandi to me. If he rewarded it to other ministers, they would also accept this group of people, but they might not be able to treat each other sincerely as I did.

These words are full of warmth and can warm people's hearts. Niu Shangxin and the others couldn't help but wipe their tears: "Boss, you are such a good person. What do you want to do? Tell me, we must do it well."

Wang Han and Wu Daozi were very worried about Chen Wanrong's mind and he couldn't help but nod. Zheng Qing knew that Chen Wanrong was a good person and entrusted to such a kind and kind person for life was a great happiness in life. She couldn't help but raise her chin and her eyes shone.

"Today, don't clean the flower bed first, clean the house." Chen Wanrong said his thoughts.

Niu Shangxin received the order: "People please rest assured, let's do it now." He waved his hand and said: "Go and work." With Chen Wanrong's guarantee, everyone was happy and walked away quickly.

"Mr. Niu, wait for me." Chen Wanrong called Niu Shangxin: "Take me to see their residence."

Niu Shangxin felt a little embarrassed: "Boss, how dare you work for me?"

Chen Wanrong's face sank: "Why can't it be done? Let's take a look."

Niu Shangxin didn't know how to say anything, so he responded and led the way. Chen Wanrong and he returned to the yard, came to a few slightly shorter houses nearest to the wall, and opened the door: "Boss, this is our residence."

Chen Wanrong saw that the room was not big, and there were several people in one room. He frowned and asked, "How come he doesn't go to live in so many empty rooms?"

"The boss, the emperor said this when he left, but how dare we do it. Later, the emperor came here a few times and ordered us that we never did as we did." Niu Shangxin and the others adhered to their duties.

Chen Wanrong browed and said, "You go and buy a few rooms first and move them all over. Uncle Wu and the others are not young anymore, so it is not suitable to live here. This house is empty and you can put things like miscellaneous tools in the future."

Niu Shangxin hesitated for a moment and replied: "Xie Dongjia, I'll do it now."

Chen Wanrong ordered: "See if you still have some money, if you need it, you can buy it."

Niu Shangxin smiled and said, "The boss doesn't know anything, and the emperor's house is left here. We haven't moved and put it neatly."

Chen Wanrong was interested and asked, "Where are you? Take me to see." The things the emperor must be treasures, so Chen Wanrong could not hold back.

Niu Shangxin responded and led the way. When he arrived at the third entry, Niu Shangxin opened the door and asked Chen Wanrong to go in. Chen Wanrong entered the door and saw that there were a lot of furniture, beds, tables, tables, and screens in the room. The furniture was made of good nanmu, and there was also a huge white jade screen, spotless, and Niu Shangxin and others cleaned it up a lot.

"Boss, these things are all used by the emperor before and have not been used for many years. What do you think of using?" Niu Shangxin was unsure of his idea.

Chen Wanrong looked at it for a while and said, "No screen, no expensive ones. Move all the unworthy and ordinary household items to use."

It’s really strange to use it for cheapness or expensiveness! Niu Shangxin didn’t understand why: “Boss, why is this? This screen is made of high-quality jade. Wouldn’t it be better to put it in the living room?”

Zheng Qing replied on behalf of Chen Wanrong: "You don't know. These precious families have been used by the emperor, so how can we use them? Isn't that arbitrage?"

Although Ruizong rewarded Chen Wanrong with the secret residence, Chen Wanrong had the power to use it, but once this matter spread, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would write a letter to impeach him. I am afraid that he is not afraid, but it is just too troublesome.

Wang Han and Wu Daozi were amazed by Chen Wanrong's meticulous thoughts: "Brother Chen, it is rare for the emperor to be so kind, but you are not arrogant. I admire you!"

Chen Wanrong smiled: "You two have been awarded too much. Everyone wants to use good things, but I can't use them."

There is another saying that Chen Wanrong didn't say, that is, it can be seen that Ruizong lived here before without being luxurious and frugal. As soon as I moved in, I changed his usual style, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Chen Wanrong became more and more fond of Ruizong. He was a genuine and good person. He did not use these precious things, but also respected him.

After leaving the house, under Niu Shangxin's leadership, Chen Wanrong roughly looked at the room and finally came to the room where Ruizong lived. Niu Shangxin asked: "Boss, this is the room where the emperor used to live..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Wanrong interrupted him: "Keep it the same and clean it up frequently. The residences of the prince, princess and concubines are all handled in this way. I will choose another residence."

Niu Shangxin is very loyal to Ruizong and hopes to stay the same from the bottom of his heart. After listening to Chen Wanrong's words, he is very grateful: "Boss, you are such a good person! If you change someone, you will definitely live here and want to get some dragon energy."

Chen Wanrong laughed and said, "It's right! But I don't want to get involved in the dragon energy. What does the emperor's dragon energy do when he touches his body? I just want to live a peaceful life." Leaning to Zheng Qing, meaning that I will be satisfied if I can stay with Zheng Qingxiang for the rest of my life.

Zheng Qing naturally understood what Chen Wanrong meant and his eyes shone.

Who doesn’t want to use the things the emperor has used? Who doesn’t want to live in the rooms the emperor has lived in? There are very few people who can handle it like Chen Wanrong, and it’s impossible not to convince people. Niu Shangxin apologized: “Boss, I thought you would live in this room before, but I didn’t expect you to be so envious. I judge a gentleman’s ambitions by the heart of a villain, so please forgive me.”

Chen Wanrong patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Truthless! Go and do things. You need some more things. You can list them and I can buy them."

Niu Shangxin responded and went to deal with it. Chen Wanrong and Wu Daozi walked around and looked around. Looking outside and looking inside was completely different. Carved beams and painted roads are exquisitely decorated. Not to mention anything else, the murals alone are awesome, and Wu Daozi was amazed.

Wu Daozi's genius was naturally a very skilled painting that could be admired by him. Chen Wanrong admired it for a while and was very surprised.

As he was watching, footsteps sounded, Niu Shangxin strode over and handed the hard yellow paper in his hand to Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong took a look and saw the name of the house and the required number were written on it. He smiled and said, "Okay, look here, I'll go back and arrange it first."

Niu Shangxin responded and sent Chen Wanrong and his party out. Wu Daozi and Wang Han had seen it, but did not want to disturb Chen Wanrong, so they said goodbye.

Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing were sitting in the car, and Zheng Qing asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go back first, wait for me to bring the money and go buy something." Chen Wanrong thought for a while.

Zheng Qing's eyes rolled: "You can go and do this now. I know several sellers in Chang'an, and they are all pretty good. Ask them to send them to their homes to settle the accounts. You don't have much money to bring out this time, so we might as well pay first and settle the accounts until the end of the month."

Chen Wanrong came to Chang'an this time to meet the emperor. He didn't want to have a house, and he wanted to buy something, and he was not prepared at all. This idea was good, and he smiled and said, "What is the account you pay off? Isn't my father-in-law's money mine? Isn't it clear?"

Zheng Qing knew that Chen Wanrong was joking, but she still spitted on him: "You are so embarrassed? Brother, settle the score clearly, how can you be so naughty?"

Chen Wanrong laughed and said, "Oh, by the way, I won the bet today, what do you say?"

Zheng Qing's pretty face suddenly turned red and she refused to admit her account: "Who made a bet with you? Who heard it? Have you found someone to testify?" Only the two of them knew about this, so where were they going to find a witness?

Chen Wanrong smiled and said with malicious intentions: "Come and ask for gambling debts now." He kept rubbing his hands.

Zheng Qing knew that she was joking, but she screamed in fear and lifted the curtains. She thought that someone saw it, you can't bully people anymore. But she didn't expect it. Just in front of a furniture store, Zheng Qing stopped the car, went to the store with Chen Wanrong, and talked to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw the name and quantity, he knew that it was a big deal. The Zheng family was also famous in Chang'an, so he had no choice but to agree to deliver the goods first and then go to Zheng's house to clear the bill.

After arranging this, it was getting late. Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing went home. He jumped out of the car and saw a tall car and a large horse parked in the yard. The horses were majestic and the vehicles were gorgeous. Zheng Qing frowned: "Whose car is this?"

Zheng Zhou came out of the house, frowns together, and walked over quickly: "Wanrong, what do you think of this?"

This was too abrupt and stupid. Chen Wanrong suddenly became confused and asked, "Mother-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Hey, what else can there be? Of course, Princess Taiping invited you to the banquet." Zheng Zhou sighed, and was quite confused. He pointed to the carriage: "Look, she has sent someone again. Is this car here to pick you up? Are you going?"
