Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

Chapter 26: Grass is not noble, but people have hearts

Dongdaying is located at the foot of the mountain outside Beijing. It was originally a barren mountainous land, but the loyal and brave marquis built a separate courtyard around the hot springs behind the camp. When Yu Jingxi came to Dongdaying, the two brothers mostly stayed in the separate courtyard to talk.

Yu Jingxi had never felt how lively this villa was until Ji Zhen came.

She walked ahead with Yu Bojun, smiling, praising his well-planted flowers and the strong trees. Yu Jingxi followed and looked at them one by one, and felt that his own courtyard was more beautiful than ever before and became lively.

Walking around the corridor, Ji Zhen found a cluster of early blooming roses in the corner. Her eyes lit up immediately and she ran over to look at them eagerly for a long time. Yu Bojun couldn't help asking:

"Your Prince's Mansion is several times bigger than my villa, and it doesn't even have a bunch of roses?"

Ji Zhen carefully touched the delicate petals of the rose and shook her head:

"I don't know. Gardeners are too expensive, so I didn't hire one. On weekdays, I just ask the maid who cleans the yard to water the flowers and plants. The flowers and plants in the yard are all grown by themselves. There seem to be quite a lot of them, but I don't know what they are. Anyway, there are red and yellow ones, and the colorful ones are also quite interesting, but I don't know what they are called, and they are not as exquisite as yours."

Ji Zhen smiled innocently, tilted his head to look at the exquisitely cut precious flowers and plants in the garden, and thought of the flowers and plants growing wildly in the Prince's Mansion. For some reason, he felt a little proud and smiled at Yu Bojun and Yu Jingxi behind him:

"You can come to my place if you have time. It really looks good. It's wild as hell."

Yu Bojun was speechless. He knew Ji Zhen was stingy, but he didn't expect her to be so stingy. The Prince's Mansion didn't even have a gardener, and yet she, the Prince, was so proud to say that her flowers and plants grew wild...

It's really outrageous!

Just as she was thinking that since she liked the flowers and plants here, should she send a portion of the flowers and plants from this other courtyard and the gardener to the Prince's Mansion, she heard Yu Jingxi say:

"Your Highness is a wonderful person. The beauty of nature is more beautiful than artificially trimmed flowers and plants. But weeds love to compete with ordinary flowers and plants for nutrients. If they are not removed all year round, I am afraid that in the future, only weeds will be left in Your Highness's mansion. Jing Xi is not talented, but I have read the "Catalogue of Plants and Trees" in my spare time and know some planting methods. If Your Highness does not mind, I am willing to serve Your Highness."

Ji Zhen blinked, looked at Yu Jingxi and then at Yu Bojun, somewhat unsure of what she had heard.

Does this young Master Yu want to be her gardener?

This was Ji Zhen's second time meeting Yu Jingxi, and he was a little different from the last time they met by chance at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

As if to facilitate travel, he changed his wide-sleeved robe into a narrow-sleeved shirt. The wide jade belt tied around his narrow waist made him look even taller and thinner. His jet-black hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin and hung down behind him, making his skin look even whiter than snow and his complexion look like orchid.

When Ji Zhen thought of this kind of person, with his sleeves rolled up and his trouser legs rolled up, weeding and planting flowers in the bushes of her house, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and smiled as she bowed to Yu Jingxi and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Yu. However, my small Prince's Mansion does not dare to trouble Young Master Yu. Anyway, wild grass will bloom, which is also a sight. It is also very charming to see it in your spare time."

"Your Highness, do you even love wild grass?" Yu Jingxi suddenly looked up at Ji Zhen, staring at her without blinking, a blush appearing on his pale face.

Weeds? No one had ever asked her that question.

Ji Zhen looked at the exquisitely trimmed precious flowers and plants in the garden, then glanced at the small purple wild flowers growing next to the roots of the early blooming roses, and said slowly:

"Weeds are weeds only after people built cities, houses and gardens. Our ancestors lived in the wilderness and caves before. How could they distinguish between weeds and flowers? There is no distinction between noble and humble herbs. People distinguish between them. I just love the green and fragrance of flowers, no matter what they are."

The wind blows gently through the courtyard, bringing with it a fragrant aroma.

Yu Jingxi's heart was beating very fast, and his heart was clamoring for him to ask Ji Zhen:

"What about that person? Would the powerful Qingyan County Prince also like a sickly and weak illegitimate son of a marquisate?"

Suddenly, Yu Jingxi froze.

What was he thinking? How could he be so shameless?

While Yu Jingxi was stunned, Ye Feng had already followed Ji Zhen's order and went to the mansion to bring back six jars of sweet apricot wine.

When Ji Zhen saw the sweet apricot wine coming, she threw all the flowers and plants behind her, picked up the wine jar with a smile, patted Yu Bojun on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Let's go, General Yu. My good wine is here. Do you have any good food to treat us?"

Yu Bojun looked at her with disdain, took the wine jar, walked ahead and said:

"Isn't it just soy sauce pork elbow and steamed fish? Your favorite things have never changed. Do I need to prepare them specially?"

When Ji Zhen heard him say this, she knew that he had been prepared for this. She was immediately delighted and followed him happily to the flower hall.

When Yu Jingxi came to his senses, Ji Zhen and Yu Bojun had already walked several steps. He looked at the two people walking side by side, and his heart suddenly stabbed, and he felt that his brother was very dazzling. His face sank, and he raised his feet to chase after them.

Soon, the food and wine were ready, and the three of them sat down in the hall. Ji Zhen looked at the maids who were serving food and wine to the three of them, and sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Loyal and Brave Marquis is really rich!"

There were more men than women in Nanyue, and women were respected. The value of a maid was dozens of times that of a male servant. Ji Zhen was really stingy with money, so there was no maid in her Prince's Mansion. From answering the door to keeping watch for her, all were male servants. Although it was a little inconvenient on weekdays, it saved a lot of money.

What she didn't expect was that there were so many maids in a small courtyard of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. It really opened her eyes. She couldn't help but ask Yu Bojun:

"How many maids do you have in this villa?"

Yu Bojun was caught off guard by Ji Zhen's question and suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Actually, there was no maid in this courtyard. It was not because Yu Bojun was as stingy as Ji Zhen, but because he did not like maids around him. However, when Ji Zhen came this time, he did not like a group of male servants around Ji Zhen, so he hurriedly transferred the maids over.

But how could I express such thoughts, and how could I let Ji Zhen know?

Just when Yu Bojun was struggling, Yu Jingxi replied calmly:

"Your Highness, you may not know that there were originally no maids in this courtyard. It was only because Your Highness was coming that my brother was afraid of neglecting Your Highness, so he specially transferred a maid to serve you. I wonder if Your Highness is satisfied?"

When Ji Zhen heard that the maid had prepared it specially for her, she was very surprised, and then she felt sorry for Yu Bojun's money.

"I just came to eat your meal, you are wasting money."

Yu Bojun opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he saw Yu Jingxi looking at Ji Zhen with a smile on his face and said:

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? My brother serves you, so it is only natural for him to spend money on you. What's more, there is a hot spring behind this villa, and there are maids to serve you, so it will be more convenient for you to use it. How can this money not be worth spending?"

Yu Jingxi's words were well-reasoned and even Ji Zhen was convinced by him. She didn't even want to drink anymore and just wanted to take a hot spring bath.

But Yu Bojun found that there seemed to be something wrong with his younger brother. He seemed too friendly and lively.

However, before Yu Bojun could relax his frown, he heard someone outside the hall announce:

"My Lord, Your Highness, the guest official wants to see you."
