Chapter 29: Hey, big leader, you've got good taste!

~8 min read 1,508 words

Lu Yuan looked in the direction Su Liyan pointed, and indeed, there was a newly opened shop selling peanuts and walnuts.

Business seemed to be doing well.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt relieved; if business is good, his shop can always be rented out, and he can collect rent every month.

He went to the market management office and directly received the money.

It was more than Lu Yuan had expected; he had thought a shop would earn fifty per month.

The result was sixty.

The market management staff said that now the dynasty is thriving, with more and more people coming to Huangcheng, so the shop rents in the market naturally rise with the tide.

Moreover, this is the current price; it will only keep getting higher.

At the peak of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a shop in Huangcheng market would rent for nearly five or six hundred per month.

Of course, prices were high then as well.

But regardless, basically speaking, just these two shops would let Lu Yuan never worry about food and drink for his whole life.

When receiving the money, Su Liyan was also listening and watching from the side.

Watching four stacks of silver ingots wrapped in red paper being stuffed into her man's pocket, Su Liyan was overjoyed.

Although the money wasn't held by Su Liyan, she was also extremely happy, after all, this was also her family's money.

Moreover, the market management staff also said that the shop's location is excellent, one of the most prosperous markets in Huangcheng.

Just relying on these two shops, she and her man would never have to worry about food and drink for their whole lives; Su Liyan was practically dying of happiness.

On the way home, Lu Yuan saw a hair salon; he had originally wanted to suggest taking Su Liyan for a perm, but after thinking, he decided against it.

Mainly because Su Liyan's hair quality was really excellent—black, black, smooth and shiny.

Especially when Lu Yuan felt Su Liyan coiled her hair high up at the back of her head, revealing that sexy swan neck, he always sensed an indescribable noble lady aura.

This noble lady aura really suits the current Su Liyan.

After all, Su Liyan is his wife, so she might as well be a noble lady~

Moreover, Su Liyan is inherently a woman who is both gorgeous and exceedingly dignified; if she were to have big waves, it would seem lacking.

Furthermore, one's own household shouldn't pretend to be poor.

Speaking of pretending to be poor, Lu Yuan then looked at Su Liyan, who was holding his arm with a face full of joy, and said:

"Right, from now on at home you should wear these nice clothes, dress up beautifully; when I come back from work and see you, I'll be happy, got it?"

Su Liyan blinked, then blushed and nodded, saying:

"I know, big brother~"

Then Lu Yuan said again:

"If anyone asks about these clothes, just say you brought them from your maiden home."

Su Liyan blinked, then nodded; Su Liyan understood Lu Yuan's meaning.

However, Su Liyan felt a bit regretful inside.

Su Liyan really wanted to wear these nice clothes, so that when others asked, she could proudly tell them these were bought by her man.

Su Liyan now feels proud in her heart, wishing to let everyone know she married a good man.

But Su Liyan also understands that this would be too showy, easily inviting envy.

Finally she nodded, then sweetly said:

"I know, big brother~"

Returning home, closing the door, Lu Yuan went all out.

The next day.

Su Liyan again made breakfast early, attending to Lu Yuan's dressing and shoeing.

"Why are you steaming wo tou again?"

Sitting at the table, Lu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly and said:

Su Liyan startled, then hurriedly explained:

"I saw that the millet flour was still good; it would be a shame to let it spoil uneaten, so I steamed some more."

"Brother, I steamed white flour mantou for you; eat the white flour mantou."

Su Liyan feared Lu Yuan would get angry, so she quickly placed three mantou before him.

Lu Yuan said nothing, directly tossing the few wo tou on the table into the nearby trash bin.

Then he picked up a mantou, broke it in half, and handed another mantou to Su Liyan, saying:

"One and a half mantou each; the millet flour can stay there—who knows, maybe I'll feel like having millet porridge one day and you'll make it."

Eating too much fish and meat gets greasy; when Lu Yuan was on Earth, he occasionally would make millet porridge at night.

Then he would break the mantou into pieces, soak them in the porridge, and eat with some small pickles; the taste was also not bad.

Seeing Lu Yuan hand over the mantou, before Su Liyan could take it, Lu Yuan then said:

"If you dare to disobey again, you won't be able to sleep all night."

Hearing this, Su Liyan's pretty face flushed, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Yuan after receiving the mantou, and whispered shyly:

"Big brother~~ you're naughty~"

After eating, in Su Liyan's loving gaze, Lu Yuan mounted his tall horse and headed straight for the Forging Bureau.

On the way, he saw Gao Tingyu.

Looking at Gao Tingyu's outfit, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Take a look at your sleeves, they're filthy, all black and shiny."

"Doesn't your mother even wash them for you?"

Gao Tingyu turned his head, and upon seeing Lu Yuan riding a horse nearby, he gritted his teeth and said:

What the hell is it to you, you're also dirty……

Before Gao Tingyu could finish his words, he saw Lu Yuan stretch out his clean sleeves, wearing a proud look, and said:

"Washed by my wife, clean enough?"

After saying that, Lu Yuan grinned, flicked the reins, giddyap, and rode off on his horse.

Gao Tingyu, standing behind, was so angry he seemed about to emit smoke.

After arriving at the Forging Bureau, Lu Yuan entered the workshop and began to study the Snow Dragon Sunlight Armor at his own station.

Why would Lu Yuan not intend to quit, yet still want to study this Snow Dragon Sunlight Armor?

The reason is simple.

I need to create a good environment for my wife.

In this world, only if a man is capable will his woman not be looked down upon.

Su Liyan comes from a rural background, and on top of that she's so beautiful that it could easily attract men's lust and women's jealousy.

Of course, Su Liyan is already married to me, a married woman, so women might not be that jealous, but there's still some.

If I manage to produce this Snow Dragon Sunlight Armor, what would my status be?

Ah?

Who am I, what status do I have?!

From now on, even the Workshop Supervisor wouldn't dare bare his teeth at Su Liyan.

Once Su Liyan enters the Forging Bureau, her assigned work environment will definitely be easy; just loafing around each day would be enough.

Otherwise, assign Su Liyan to a dirty and tiring post.

It's not that Su Liyan can't endure hardship, but I'd feel guilty in my heart.

This is my wife, or rather someone I dragged in to take the blame.

My wife's strength should be used behind closed doors at night for me, not wasted here.

As for whether Lu Yuan can produce this Snow Dragon Sunlight Armor……

Come on, treating the system's 'Craftsmanship' as mere decoration?

Did Lu Yuan read those books last night for nothing?

Lu Yuan had pretty much finished reading them a little while ago yesterday.

Now Lu Yuan is in the process of reconstructing it; once he gets it done, he'll go find the Workshop Supervisor, who will then go see the Factory Director, possibly even getting a glimpse of that white-cuffed big shot.

Lu Yuan got so absorbed in tinkering with this that he forgot the time.

When Lu Yuan finally completes it, after it's done, he looks up and says, 'Wow, what a crowd—so many people gathered around me?'

And they're all big leaders of the Bing Jia Chang??

When Lu Yuan looked astonished, one of the people he somewhat recognized stared at him, pointing at the armor piece before him, and stammered:

"Little... young man... I... I how come this thing looks like the Snow Dragon Sunlight Armor to me??"

Huh??

Lu Yuan looked at the person before him…… he seemed like that white-cuffed big leader from yesterday, right?

Lu Yuan lowered his head to look at the person's cuff.

Whoa, it really is!!

When did these people arrive??

After Lu Yuan froze for a moment, he then grinned and said:

"Yo, big leader, you've got an eye for quality!"

(Thanks to the old brother who can't be lewd for the 1300 book coins reward, thank you very much~ Today's holiday extra chapter~)
