In the morning, Wang Defa hurriedly entered the study and reported to Lin Yun: "Miss, the matter has been investigated."
The Xie family did indeed have a residence in the capital, mainly dealing in fabrics, rouge, gold and silver ornaments, and tea.
Xie Wan, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, is sixteen years old this year and has always lived in the capital. She has reached the age for marriage.
Lin Yun put down her pen and frowned slightly: "Why is it Xie Wan, not Xie Yu, in the capital?"
She wondered why Xie Yu, as the eldest son of the Xie family, should be in charge of the overall situation in the capital.
But then I thought, this is someone else's family matter, and it's not appropriate for me to worry about it too much.
She waved her hand and said to Wang Defa, "You've worked hard, you can go now."
Even after Wang Defa left, Lin Yun's thoughts continued to wander.
There are more important things to deal with right now.
She picked up her pen again, spread out a sheet of white paper, and began to draw jewelry designs for Xie Yu's Linglong Pavilion.
She would provide Xie Yu with ten new designs every month, ranging from hairpins to earrings, from bracelets to necklaces.
Each piece blends modern aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship.
Lin Yun's pen glided lightly across the paper, sketching out exquisite jewelry designs.
As she drew, she pondered how to better integrate these designs with the Xie family's gold and silver ornaments in order to maintain the unique appeal of Linglong Pavilion.
Linglong Pavilion now brings her thousands of taels of dividends every month, which is no small amount.
After finishing the last piece of jewelry, she took out another stack of papers and began designing new garments.
She incorporates the minimalist style of modern clothing into traditional attire, preserving its classical charm while adding a touch of modern fashion.
She was so engrossed in depicting every detail that she lost track of time.
She didn't come to her senses until Xiao Tao gently knocked on the door to remind her to have lunch.
"Miss, you've been painting all morning, you should take a break," Xiao Tao said with concern as she walked in carrying a cup of floral tea.
Lin Yun rubbed her slightly sore wrists.
He laughed and said, "Time flies. These designs need to be sent back to our hometown as soon as possible. Have Manager Chen arrange for someone to deliver them."
Xiao Tao nodded in agreement, then asked, "Miss, would you like to take a look at the newly built hydroponic room? The craftsmen said it's finished."
Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up: "Let's go take a look!"
The two arrived at the backyard, where a spacious and bright hydroponic room came into view.
The roof is covered with large glazed tiles, and sunlight shines through the tiles, making the whole room bright and airy.
Lin Yun entered the hydroponic room and saw rows of neat wooden shelves with crystal-clear porcelain plates, each filled with water.
The floor of three walls was lined with neatly arranged water troughs, the clear water in them rippling and reflecting her delighted face.
"Fourth Master is truly thoughtful," Lin Yun sighed softly, a feeling of gratitude welling up in her heart for Yongzheng.
The hydroponic room was built exactly as she envisioned, and even more perfect than she had expected.
She turned to Xiaotao and said, "Go and have the housekeeper buy some vegetable and fruit seeds, such as leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and watermelons."
Xiao Tao blinked: "Watermelons can be grown hydroponically?"
Lin Yun smiled and said, "Why don't you try and see?"
Nothing in this world is difficult if you put your mind to it.
Xiao Tao smiled and replied, "Yes, Miss! I'll take care of it right away." With that, she quickly left the hydroponic room.
Lin Yun stood alone in the hydroponic room, gazing at the temporarily empty porcelain plate.
She knelt down and used her fingers to pour a little bit of the spiritual spring water into each porcelain plate.
Outsiders didn't know, they just thought she stirred the water a few times.
"With this hydroponic room, perhaps we really can grow some different crops..."
She murmured to herself.
In the afternoon, Lin Yun came to the flower room in the guest room, and the scene in front of her surprised her greatly.
The flowers, which were originally just tender buds, have now grown quite a bit taller, and some have even formed small flower buds.
She crouched down, her fingertips gently tracing the delicate flower buds, marveling at the magical effects of the spring water.
"This speed is too fast..." Lin Yun murmured to herself, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She originally thought it would take at least ten days to half a month to see noticeable growth.
I never expected that these plants would change so much in just one day.
She originally just wanted to test the feasibility of hydroponic flowers, but she never expected that the spring water could shorten the growth cycle of plants by several times.
In the shadows, several guards exchanged a shocked glance.
They were ordered to protect Lin Yun and monitor her every move.
This scene was clearly beyond reason, and one of them quickly turned and left to report the matter to Emperor Yongzheng.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Yongzheng was reviewing memorials when he heard the report from his secret guards, and his vermilion brush paused slightly.
He looked up, his brow furrowed slightly: "Are you sure those flowers formed buds in just one day?"
The guard knelt on one knee and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes; Miss Lin's hydroponic flowers are growing remarkably well, far from ordinary."
A hint of surprise flashed in Yongzheng's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He was already unsettled by Lin Yun and Yinxiang's conversation at the teahouse, and upon hearing this, he could no longer suppress the urge to investigate.
He put down his vermilion brush, pondered for a moment, and then said to Su Peisheng beside him, "Go tell Wang Defa to inform Miss Lin that I will be going to Yunxiang Villa tonight, and tell her not to make a fuss."
Su Peisheng bowed in agreement and quickly withdrew.
Yongzheng stood up, walked to the window, looked at the distant sky, and felt a ripple in his heart.
He had long known that Lin Yun was different from others, but he never expected that she could create such a miracle.
Could she really be a fairy?

Inside the Yunxiang Villa, Wang Defa rushed to the backyard and saw Lin Yun still busy in the flower room. He stood outside the door and whispered, "Miss, the Emperor has decreed that he will come tonight."
Lin Yun paused in her actions, turned to look at Wang Defa,
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "The Emperor is coming?"
She quickly calmed down and nodded, saying, "I understand. Go and get ready."
After Wang Defa left, Lin Yun took a deep breath and carefully examined the growth of the flowers, pondering how to explain the effects of the spiritual spring water to Emperor Yongzheng.
The origin of the spiritual spring water was too bizarre; she needed to come up with a reasonable explanation.
