Chapter 141 Feng Ning's Courtyard

"Alright, since we've decided to stay here, let's take advantage of the night to tidy up a place to sleep, and then clean it properly tomorrow."

Feng Siyue pushed open the door, saying she was going to tidy up, but everything in sight seemed to have been meticulously cleaned.

The courtyard faces south, and across the lake lies Qianshui City.

There are three bamboo houses in the courtyard, covered with thatch.

The bamboo house in the middle is larger. Pushing open the door leads to the hall. On both sides, a door separates the space with gray cloth. Inside, in the small space, there is a bed and several cabinets.

The window was open, and a gentle lake breeze blew in, which was very refreshing.

It's very clean, with hardly any dust.

"It seems like we don't need to clean up here."

Xuan Li plopped down on the bamboo bed, placing the glutinous rice balls beside her.

"Sweetie, go play by yourself."

Feng Siyue took out the bedding she had bought before setting off, and then pulled Xuan Li up.

"Stand over there, I'll make the bed."

Xuan Li rolled up his sleeves. "I'll help you!"

"Row."

After making the bed, Feng Siyue took out some fire spirit stones and placed them under the bed and in the corners, which puzzled Xuan Li.

"what are you doing?"

"The night breeze is cool; these things will make me feel more comfortable."

Seeing this, Xuan Li simply walked to the window, took out his box of books and arranged it. "We're missing some tables and chairs. Feng Siyue, shall we go and buy some later?"

"it is good."

After settling the two into their rooms, it was already dark.

The two did not buy candles. Xuan Li went to sleep early, while Feng Siyue sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.

The sun gradually climbed up the hillside.

The morning dew was heavy, and birdsong filled the air as the two people, having finished their breakfast, stood at the doorway.

"Feng Siyue, don't you feel like something's missing from our courtyard?"

Xuan Li looked at the empty space at the gate, stroked his chin, and asked.

You mean the plaque?

"Yes, since it's a courtyard, it should have a name."

Feng Siyue thought for a moment, "What name do you want to choose?"

"What do you think?"

"Hmm... How is Feng Ning?"

"Feng Ning Courtyard?"

"Correct."

Xuan Li stroked his chin, "The dew on the maple leaves condenses, resembling blossoms falling in February..."

She clapped her hands excitedly, "Great!"

"Should we plant a maple tree in the yard?"

The courtyard is small and empty.

“You can go out and dig for it. I still have some of the Spirit Gathering Grass I brought out last time.”

"Okay, we'll set off in a bit."

The two first went to Qianshui City to buy some daily necessities before heading outside the city to look for maple trees.

When they returned, it was already noon.

Feng Siyue took out her newly bought hoe and started loosening the soil around the yard.

Then, plant spirit-gathering grass, maple trees...

Be methodical.

After the Spirit Gathering Grass was planted, the spiritual energy in the courtyard was slowly condensing. If it was a small tree with only a dozen leaves before, it now has dozens.

The gradually increasing spiritual energy made Feng Siyue feel comfortable and relaxed. The spiritual energy spontaneously penetrated into her skin, transforming into spiritual power and flowing into her dantian.

The maple tree the two chose was taller than the bamboo house, with lush green leaves and a promising growth.

Feng Siyue planted it on the left side, surrounding it with a ring of Spirit Gathering Grass. This immediately caused the maple tree, whose leaves were still somewhat droopy, to stretch out its branches. Under the maple tree, Feng Siyue swung on a swing.

While she was swinging on the swing, Xuan Li was walking outside the courtyard carrying a blue cloth bag, taking out a handful of seeds from the bag and scattering them on the ground as he walked.

"Since I'm a permanent resident, how can my place be bad?"

In the Tianshan Mountains, Xuanli and his companion's residence was not entirely white; Xuanzu had planted many flowers.

I don't know what method he used, but the flowers bloom all year round, and the flowers bloom differently every month.

There are also many small animals.

Tangyuan (sweet rice balls) suddenly appeared at my doorstep a few years ago.

After scattering the seeds around the yard, Xuan Li patted Tangyuan's head, who had been following her at her feet.

"Tangyuan, you said that soon, many small animals will come to play here, right?"

"Just like you were back then."

The little guy rubbed his head against her leg, as if to say, "Yes."

Xuan Li bent down, picked up the glutinous rice balls, and walked towards the lake.

"Definitely."

She decided to plant some lotus flowers in the lake so that she could later take a small boat to cruise the lake and pick lotus seeds to eat.

But by the time she got closer, there were already people on the lakeside.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Yu, who was engrossed in her work, looked up and saw Xuan Li. She smiled and said, "Miss Ruan, I bought some lotus seeds that can bloom in several colors from the market this morning. I plan to plant them and try them out."

"We can handle this. It looks like it's about to rain, so hurry up and come up!"

The sky behind the old man was overcast, with dark clouds gathering, a sign that a downpour was imminent.

Yu pointed to the thatched hut not far away and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, my home is nearby, and I'm in good health, getting a little rain won't hurt me!"

Seeing that the old man wouldn't listen to him, Xuan Li thought of another way, "Grandpa, it's noon."

"We bought some ingredients, but neither of us is very good at cooking. Why don't you come and help us?"

After all, he's an elderly person. No matter how healthy he is, he'll still get sick if he gets caught in a downpour.

Given their family's circumstances, they would probably just grab some medicine and tough it out, only to end up with chronic illnesses.

Why bother?
