After spending a day at home with the two of them, Zhou went back to continue training.
The huge Ji family seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.
Ji Changying and Hu Shi took care of the yard very well, and asked You Tianming to separate the area with a fence.
While growing vegetables, they also grow flowers, trees and various green plants.
Some of them were planted in the space, and some were dug up from the mountains.
As the weather gradually warms up, the yard becomes full of vitality, and flowers of various colors gradually bloom, making it look very lively.
But every time, she couldn't stand Ji Changying's ruthless scissors to kill the buds that were about to bloom. Every time Hu saw it, she felt distressed: "This flower is so beautiful! Why cut it?"
"If they are not pruned, they will not look good. Besides, flowers will grow better after being pruned. I am not cutting them randomly..."
Since she was free anyway, Ji Changying pruned the branches while explaining to Hu the characteristics of the plants, what to pay attention to when planting, and how to prune them to make them look better and grow more vigorously.
After listening for several days, Mrs. Hu became more and more interested and picked up the scissors and asked Ji Changying to teach her.
Seeing that Hu was interested in this, Ji Changying was very happy and taught him everything he knew, teaching him step by step how to prune, transplant and grow the plants into the shape he wanted.
Just then she received a letter from Wang Fugui.
He looked through the entire flower market in Liangzhou and wrote down all the varieties, categories and prices of flowers on sale for Ji Changying.
The content was very detailed, but one could see his concerns about the shop between the lines.
Currently, most of the flowers sold in the flower market are common varieties, and some even sell wild flowers from the roadside. Of course, the prices are extremely low, and ordinary people will buy some if they have the leisure time.
There are better varieties, but they are very rare. If you want to buy them, the prices are very high, and you have to pay a deposit in advance to get them.
Wang Fugui specially spent three days at the flower market to collect statistics on the flowers sold and turnover of each store every day. The result was heartbreaking.
Although everyone in Dali was influenced by the emperor and liked to grow flowers, Liangzhou was not a place like Kyoto where literati and scholars gathered. It was more populated by rough people and ordinary people who were busy with their lives every day. They just came for the colors and did not care about the varieties and patterns.
Ji Changying smiled after reading it.
She never thought about earning money like ordinary people from the beginning.
What she wants to win over are the prominent families in the city and those people in Kyoto who are chasing after these potted plants.
She wrote back and told Wang Fugui to find craftsmen to repair the shop according to her requirements and not to worry about anything else.
No matter how much Wang Fugui lost his hair when he received this letter.
Yang Tuozi also went to find Wang Fugui, and he dictated to Wang Fugui to write on his behalf.
He has come out now, and his words are all about thanking Ji Changying, without saying another word.
Ji Changying knew that this meant that he didn't trust Wang Fugui, so she didn't dare to say more.
But since the person has come out, she will just put it aside for now.
"Come on, come out."
As night fell, Ren Dongnan stood on the courtyard wall and threw a small stone at Ji Changying's windowsill.
“Here I come!”
Ji Changying picked up the black dog and put it on his shoulder. He walked to the yard, tiptoed up to the top of the wall, and stood with his hands behind his back, imitating his master, looking like a master.
"I received a challenge letter and will wait for you to come."
After Ren Dongnan finished speaking, he continued running towards the mountain.
Before Ji Changying could react to the challenge, the person almost disappeared, so she had to chase after him.
"What challenge? Why did you receive it?"
Ren Dongnan stood in front of the cliff, sitting cross-legged on a rock: "Shh~"
Ren Dongnan's ears moved, and he quickly said, "Someone is coming."
Ji Changying listened carefully but heard nothing.
When she used her special ability, she saw only a dark shadow moving through the woods like a ghost, rushing towards here at an extremely fast speed.
Is a man.
There were two knives stuck in his back and his entire face was completely exposed. He looked different from the men in black before.
Soon the shadow landed in front of the two men, his eyes fixed on Ren Dongnan's face: "Are you Feishuang Dao?"
"Normally it's not possible. You talk so much."
…
No, what's going on?
Ji Changying didn't expect that his master was so annoying the moment he opened his mouth.
The other party's face was indeed furious. He pulled his hands back and two knives flew out: "Arrogant!"
The two knives slashed towards Ren Dongnan like flowing lights. Ji Changying, who was standing aside, would never let anyone get so close to Ren Dongnan.
She threw the black dog on her shoulder onto Ren Dongnan, picked up the iron rod and rushed forward.
"Which one are you?"
"His apprentice!"
Ji Changying's answer was particularly firm.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her introduce herself, his face became even angrier: "So you're the Hammer King, known as the best hammer in the world! You even sound older than me!"
"Hmm? Hammer King? What Hammer King?"
The other party snorted coldly, looking up with a noble and cold look: "I am the best swordsman in Liangzhou. If you beat me, I will give this title to you!"
The opponent did not let her off at all just because she was young and a girl, and her moves were fierce and intense.
Ji Changying was full of questions, but seeing that the other party had devoted himself to the battle, he did not dare to be careless and could only concentrate on dealing with it.
The two men fought here, causing leaves to fly everywhere and the air current to blow up the corner of Ren Dongnan's clothes. He stood still, stroking the black dog's hair with his hand.
The black dog was like a statue in his hands.
I dare not move, I dare not move at all.
The two exchanged hundreds of blows until Ji Changying found his weakness, kicked him over, and stepped on his acupuncture points, making him unable to move. Then he looked down at him and asked, "What do you mean by that Hammer King you mentioned?"
The other party seemed to have been greatly insulted and threw a purse down viciously: "Ask him!"
Ji Changying turned his head to look at Ren Dongnan, who said calmly, "Let him go."
As soon as her feet moved away, Liangzhou No.1 Knife picked up his two knives and said, "I don't accept it. You wait!"
With that he jumped and disappeared.
"What do you mean? What's going on?"
Ren Dongnan stepped forward, picked up the purse, and put it into his sleeve: "Nothing, I just issued a letter of challenge."
"so?"
Ren Dongnan turned his back and said, "Use my disciple's name to challenge famous figures in the martial arts world."
"The title of the world's greatest hammer king? Me?"
"Um."
"Why a hammer?" Ji Changying looked down at the stick in his hand in confusion.
"····Because you are too heavy..."
Ji Changying was silent for two seconds: "If you are too idle, then find something to do! If it doesn't work, I can ask someone to plead for you. A blind man with good martial arts skills in the military camp should be enough!"
