Chapter 2095: Chapter 2092: Jingyuan

Because the watermelons grown on our own Manor are very sweet, at this time, the raw materials for extracting sugar are sweet cabbage and sugar cane.

But neither of them is sweet enough, so everyone likes to eat sweet things.

However, watermelon is ultimately a product of sandy soil. She plans to plant fruit trees in the garden, which will also serve as a good landscape.

“Persimmon trees can be planted.” Ye Muyu thought of some beautiful old rural house photos she had seen in the future, featuring persimmon trees, creating a very beautiful artistic conception.

The artistic conception is beautiful, which is suitable for composing poetry. With this pretext, wouldn’t it be easy to become famous in the future?

“Hmm, grapevines can also be planted, and there can be a grape arbor. By then, in summer, we can enjoy the shade and even make some Grape Wine.”

“As for apple trees, forget it, they’re not very pretty. Pear trees don’t seem very auspicious, so it’s better to plant cherry blossom trees, plum trees, and peach trees.”

After connecting several shops and the previously abandoned four-entry courtyard, the entire garden was actually very large. According to her ideas, it could be divided into seven or eight gardens and courtyards.

However, with eight gardens, if there were walls separating them, a lot of space would be taken, and each courtyard wouldn’t be very big.

Ye Muyu thought for a moment and eventually changed her mind.

The fun of playing mahjong lies in the hustle and bustle. It’s more interesting with a group of people.

It could even be convenient for these ladies and young misses to expand their official circle diplomacy. If the courtyards were too small, wouldn’t that unintentionally restrict them, and everyone who knew each other would meet together?

Over time, it would become uninteresting.

Instead, with more people, many ladies and young misses tend to compare themselves. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many banquets in the capital. After all, these banquets are partly for gaining fame, like the reputations of certain talented women, which is understandable for marrying into a good family.

The second reason is to broaden social networks.

With that in mind, she only needed to make four large courtyards and build more houses. If possible, build a pavilion to add another floor. Regardless of the landscape, it could accommodate more people.

Ye Muyu directly asked Chu Heng about building a pavilion: “If I build pavilions throughout the garden, would there be any issues?”

The houses in the capital have height restrictions.

The tallest are the Royal Family’s buildings and the watchtowers at the city gates.

Building too high might inevitably raise suspicions of monitoring court affairs.

Generally, a family’s courtyard would have a couple of embroidered towers for the boudoir girls to stay in.

If, as Ye Muyu imagined, the entire area had second floors, it was unprecedented, although shops and restaurants did have this kind of thing, with some restaurants being three stories high.

But for safety, Ye Muyu still wanted to confirm.

“No problem,” Chu Heng gave her an affirmative answer directly.

Ye Muyu was delighted, feeling that everything was going smoothly, and once she completed the garden, she would surely have a continuous flow of wealth.

“Ah Heng, what do you think we should name our garden?”

“Since Ah Yu wants to use beautiful scenery as the selling point, it can be simple and straightforward. Why not call it Jingyuan? It’s a place for the ladies and young misses to gather for small gatherings, and although mahjong is the main pastime, it has a bit of a gambling nature. It’s better to be more elegant to avoid criticism from scholars.”

“Not bad, the name Jingyuan sounds good!” Ye Muyu clapped her hands with a smile: “Then that will be the name.”

Seeing her happy, Chu Heng’s mouth curled up, and he directly spread a piece of Xuan paper and picked up a brush to write the large characters “Jingyuan.”

Ye Muyu leaned over to take a look.
