It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
After sending Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and the others away with great difficulty, Mu Chen did not stop for even a moment.
"Today is really a ghost. Why are there so many people coming to the residence to pay a visit?”
Mu Chen stood in the courtyard and looked in the direction of the entrance.
If it wasn't for the 18 Yan Cavalry standing there and intimidating everyone, he would have lost his position as the Marquis of Border Protection.
"Hehe, it's all because I'm in the limelight. Yesterday, I just beat up a few Tibetans. Today, I have the title of Chang 'an's number one gourmet. How can I not be envious?”Mu Xi 'er said with a smile.
"Even so, could it be that they also want to come to my Marquisdom to have a taste of the delicacies? Could it be that they didn't put me in their eyes?”Mu Chen said.
There was nothing wrong with Mu Chen's words. No matter what, he was also the Marquis of Border Protection, the Marquis of Chang 'an City.
Although the delicacies were indeed tempting, but they wanted to charge into the marquis 'manor so recklessly. Wasn't this too disrespecting him, the marquis?
Ma Zhong, who was at the side, quickly smiled and said," Lord Marquis, you've misunderstood. These people are all famous people in Chang 'an. Most of them are the stewards of the high-ranking officials and nobles. They are not here to taste Lord Marquis's delicacies."
"But what? I say, Ma Zhong, you were born a bandit after all. Why are you so wishy-washy when you speak and do things? If you have something to say, just say it!" Mu Chen said angrily.
"Yes, Lord Marquis. These people have come to the residence to propose marriage to their own children. Now that Lord Marquis's reputation has risen, and he is also the favorite of the current Emperor, who doesn't know? Who didn't know? They were all proud of being able to marry Lord Marquis. Some families had unmarried women and all sent invitations for marriage. Some families had young masters who wanted to marry Eldest Miss, Ma Zhong hurriedly explained.
Hearing these words, Mu Chen finally understood.
No wonder he had always heard people say that people were afraid of being famous and pigs were afraid of being strong. It was the truth.
Sometimes, being in the limelight was not always a good thing.
Just like now, as a person from the modern world, when had he ever thought of getting married and having children so early?
He would have to wait at least three to five years, or even seven to eight years, before thinking about marriage.
As for Mu Xi 'er, she was only twelve years old.
Although Mu Chen also hoped that his sister would find a good family in the future, he did not wish to marry her off so early.
"Brother, we have an agreement. If I don't say that I want to get married, you're not allowed to find a husband for me.”
Mu Xi 'er pouted and pretended to be angry.
"Ma Zhong, did you hear that? My sister and I have the same thoughts. Before we propose to get married, no one should come to my place to talk about marriage. Even if His Majesty orders it, it won't do.”Mu Chen said.
"Hehe, I understand. I'll do it now!”Ma Zhong smiled and nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.
"Do you think my manor is a market? "This is simply preposterous," Mu Chen muttered.
Following that, he brought Mu Xi 'er to the courtyard of the third entrance.
This was an empty courtyard, and the surrounding rooms were uninhabited. The original flowerbed had been flattened by Mu Chen, and there were many peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and other crops planted there.
The reason why he did this was mainly to test whether the land and climate of Chang 'an were suitable for planting these things.
Before this, the system had already helped him improve these seeds.
Not only did their growth speed increase, but their adaptability to the soil and climate had also increased significantly.
However, Mu Chen still hoped that he would obtain the results of the experiment first.
"Brother, didn't His Majesty give you a thousand acres of fertile land? "Why don't you go there to plant? If you transplant all these things there, you can plant a lot of things!”Mu Xi 'er asked curiously.
"A thousand mu of fertile land isn't that big. There's no rush to plant there. Besides, brother has other uses!”Mu Chen said with a smile.
"There are other uses? Could it be that brother wants to plant some fruit trees there?”Mu Xi 'er asked curiously.
Over the past few days, Mu Chen had taken out quite a number of fruits from the System Orchard.
This was especially true for Pineapple, who did not exist in the Great Tang.
This inevitably made Mu Xi 'er curious, and at the same time, she felt a little strange about this fruit called' pineapple'.
"Plant fruit trees? Wouldn't that be a waste of resources? I hope to open a winery there!”Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Open a winery?"
"Yes, you'll understand in the future!"
"Alright then!"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside.
Mu Chen turned around and saw three people walking towards him.
Ma Zhong was the last to follow, while the two people walking in front were young but very luxuriously dressed young masters.
"Ma Zhong, what's going on?" Mu Chen frowned. These two young masters are…"
"You're the border guard duke? Everyone in Chang 'an knows your name now. It's really difficult to meet the Marquis!”
Without waiting for Ma Zhong to reply, the young master walking in front spoke first.
Hearing this, Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"Young Master, yes?"
" Don't ask who I am. Border Guard Marquis, I'll give you a chance now. Go and cook a table of delicious food for me to taste. Only after I taste it will you be qualified to be called the best food in Chang 'an. Otherwise, hmph!”Young Master said with a pout.
Mu Chen smiled and shook his head. Putting aside the fact that I don't care about the title of Chang 'an's number one delicacy, even so, what qualifications do you have to taste it?”
"You, you, you have to make it for this young master. Just, just treat it as compensation for the pain you caused this young master's wrist back then."
"Does it hurt your wrist?" Mu Chen smiled." No wonder this young master looks so familiar. Now I remember. Aren't you the little eunuch who came with Supervisor Wang the last time?" I haven't seen you for a few days. Have you turned over a new leaf? Quick, let me see if your thing has grown back!”
In the end, when he heard this, the young master's face turned red.
Her eyes were filled with anger as she said coquettishly,"Border Guardian Marquis, how dare you tease this young master? You're asking for a beating!"
As he spoke, the young master pounced towards Mu Chen.
