The grapevines climbed up the pillar.

The slender vines swayed in the wind like tassels.

Strings of flowers, a mix of green and yellow, hang from the leaves.

In some places, the flowers have already fallen, leaving only a bunch of tiny grapes.

(I dream of having a grape trellis, but unfortunately, I can only afford to rent and can't have one. *sobs*)

"Sister, is this a grapevine? Are those bunches of grapes?"

"Yes, it should be ready to eat in another month, and the store will have it on the shelves then."

Fu Ziyu paused for a moment.

He suddenly looked down at the sunflower head he was still holding, then at the grapes hanging on the trellis, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"Would you like to get down and walk around?"

"want!"

After getting off the car, Fu Ziyu looked at the vibrant grape trellis and felt a gentle breeze, feeling extremely comfortable.

As expected of his sister's home, it was filled with a relaxed, comfortable, and carefree atmosphere, just like her, which he both envied and longed for.

Walk past the grape trellis and cross the third gate.

The first thing you see is an artificial mountain serving as a screen wall, with a bluestone avenue on the left.

Flowerbeds lined the path, and then a long corridor stretched out behind them.

The corridor is covered with rose vines, which are in full bloom and are a beautiful sight.

Go around it, and you'll see a stream behind the artificial hill.

If you follow the path, you'll find a large pond.

The pond is filled with water lilies of various colors, and koi carp swim among them.

After passing through the arched bridge and the small courtyard gate, the view opens up again.

The first thing you see is a long, winding corridor lined with roses on both sides.

Under the corridor, there was another patch of flowers, and behind that was a row of slightly shorter, snow-white trees.

The tree is now covered with yellow leaves, which look completely different from naturally withered leaves.

There seemed to be small, golden-yellow fruits on the branches.

This row of strange trees is quite eye-catching.

Fu Ziyu couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what kind of tree is that?"

Yun Zhiyi looked over and said, "That's called the Golden Treasure Tree."

Its original name was Golden Water Peach, a product of the celestial realm, which blooms once every thousand years and bears fruit once every ten thousand years.

Those who cultivate immortality can achieve eternal life by consuming it, while immortals can enhance their immortal power and improve their cultivation by consuming it.

However, the trees planted here now have been improved by her; they are not immortal trees, but only ordinary spiritual trees.

Consuming it can improve physical condition and prolong life.

It normally flowers after five years and bears fruit after ten years of planting.

However, here, when it blossoms and bears fruit is up to her.

If she wants to eat peaches, she can be induced to give birth at any time.

These golden peaches taste pretty good; they're one of her favorite fruits.

So even though this looked a bit nouveau riche and lowered the overall style of the garden, she still planted some.

Yun Zhiyi continued to lead him along the corridor, introducing things to him as she went.

"That's an apple tree. It blossoms in autumn and bears fruit in winter."

"That's a crabapple tree. It's already in bloom, and it will bear fruit in another month, so we can eat it in the fall."

"That's a cherry tree. The fruit should be picked in about two weeks. You can come to the store to try it then; it should taste good."

These cherry trees are among the few remaining native fruit trees.

However, after she induced and modified them, their quality is naturally different from the previous wild cherries.

You can already see clusters of golden-red fruits, about the size of a coin, which will be fully ripe in another half month.

"That's a loquat tree. We'll be able to eat them in two months."

"That patch of fruit on the wall is figs. You probably haven't tried them before. They taste pretty good. You'll be able to try them in another month."

"Those are orange trees, tangerine trees, and pomelo trees, and that row is banana trees..."

As he walked along, the dazzling array of fruit trees dazzled him.

Fu Ziyu looked at her with admiration.

While other people's estates are planted with various ornamental trees, she only planted edible fruit trees.

Suddenly, he heard his sister make a sound of surprise.

I immediately followed her gaze.

There were two lush, green trees at the corner.

The tree was laden with bright red fruit, a truly delightful sight.

Fu Ziyu recognized it as a lychee; he had never eaten one, but he had seen them before.

(Who understands how someone with a constitution prone to getting internal heat can love lychees so deeply?)

These are tribute fruits bestowed by the Empress upon my mother, and my sister even has some here.

And look at those lychees, they're even bigger than the tribute fruits.

Yun Zhiyi was also somewhat surprised.

These two lychee trees are also the original varieties that have been preserved.

They were also induced and modified so that they could continue to flower and bear fruit at the original time.

She rarely walks this way, so she didn't notice that the lychees were ripe.

She immediately became interested and called over a servant, instructing them to cut off a few strings of the string and send them to the central court later.

The manor was very large, and Fu Ziyu's body had not fully recovered, so it was not suitable for him to walk for too long.

So they only went halfway before circling around to the central courtyard.

The lychees have been washed and delivered, placed in a delicate little basket.

Yun Zhiyi picked up a peeled one and handed it to him, saying, "Try it."

Then I picked one up myself.

The modified lychee has a thin skin, thick flesh, and small seed, making it very sweet and delicious.

Fu Ziyu stared wide-eyed at the cat, his eyes filled with enjoyment.

So this is what lychees taste like! They're delicious. No wonder the ladies in the palace love them so much, and my mother loves them too.

"Sister, will you also sell these lychees in the store?"

Yun Zhiyi thought about the two lychee trees. From the glimpse she had just seen, she estimated that they could probably yield at least seven or eight hundred catties of lychees.

Even if you sell them individually in the store, they won't last long, so you won't have to worry about being chased for more stock later.

She shook her head. "This is too little, I won't sell it. If you like, you can take some back with you later. But lychees are very hot, so you can't eat too many."

Fu Ziyu's eyes sparkled. "Sister, let me buy some with you. Can I buy 100 jin?"
