Chapter 279: I
The Su Heir Apparent's wife was surprised, looking at Qin He.
This was a world dominated by good fortune and luck. Some people with good fortune could indeed bring good luck to their families. Qin He's statement wasn't reckless, but there had to be a reason for it.
However, it was said that Qin He was protected by the Heavenly Dao, so it wasn't strange for her good fortune to be high.
What surprised the Su Heir Apparent's wife was that if this farmland in the desolate land was good luck brought by Qin He, the Qin Heir Apparent should have mentioned it in his words to gather fame for Qin He.
The Qin Heir Apparent hadn't mentioned it at all!
"Do you also have a field in the desolate land?" the Su Heir Apparent's wife probed.
She hadn't heard that Qin He had a field.
Looking from afar, the families that had fields were all there. For example, Rong Yan's family was picking and moving melons right now. Rong Cui looked happy, and the whole family was full of joy because of the harvest and Rong Cui's recovery.
Then there was the Jiang family, and Jiang Xu's maternal grandfather's family had all come to help.
This also counted as a whole family.
The largest farmland cleared in this area belonged to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, including the Qin Heir Apparent's farmland, the Qin family's third branch, the fourth branch, the Rong Prince Manor, and Yan Guogong Manor's He Zu.
She didn't see anyone from the Xue Wang Manor. The Su Heir Apparent's wife was puzzled.
"I don't have a field," Qin He couldn't lie, so she smiled, squatted down, picked up a small watermelon, handed it to Qin Yan, and said: "If I were to farm in the desolate land, this whole area would have a bumper harvest."
Qin He was so certain, which made the Su Heir Apparent's wife even more surprised.
With such a big tone, was the farmland in the desolate land really touched by Qin He's good fortune? Otherwise, who would be so certain? But neither the Qin Heir Apparent nor the Qin family's third branch had mentioned Qin He.
"My Qin He sister has always had good fortune," Qin Yan followed up, handing a melon to Qin Cui, turning her head and saying: "If it weren't for Qin He sister's high good fortune, the Marquis Manor wouldn't be able to grow anything in the desolate land, and growing spirit melons would be wishful thinking."
Where did this come from? The Su Heir Apparent's wife was very confused.
Moving melons took only a moment, and Qin He left, leaving the work to the Su Heir Apparent's wife and the others. She wandered over to Rong Yan's melon field, saying vaguely that her good fortune was high and she had good luck.
"What does that mean?" Rong Cui had cold sweat on his forehead, but his body felt very comfortable. Seeing Qin He go to Jiang Xu's melon field, he asked Rong Yan in a low voice: "Isn't it the credit of the Qin family's third branch's Bountiful Harvest Cloud?"
"Don't pay attention to her," Rong Yan waved his hand. "Coming here to snatch credit again."
Rong Yan's family heard this and didn't like Qin He anymore. Who was she to come and say her good fortune brought good luck? They heard she was a young lady of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor; she should have brought good luck to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor.
They were members of the Rong clan; could they benefit from her good fortune?
They didn't know her usually, and they had no chance to benefit from her good fortune!
Qin He told Jiang Xu's maternal grandfather's family that her good fortune was high and that they had all benefited from her good luck. Jiang Xu's maternal grandfather's family was confused, thinking Qin He had come to ask for benefits.
Jiang Xu said: "No need to pay attention."
Qin He didn't want to move melons; working under the poisonous sun was very hard. Since transmigrating, Qin He had learned to take good care of herself and wouldn't farm in the fields. Smiling, she went back to the ladies and misses.
The ladies and misses of various families wanted to buy melons but couldn't snatch them.
A lady was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead: "I should have bought them when they said three low-grade beast crystals per melon at the beginning. I hesitated, and now, ordinary watermelons are too popular."
"I want to eat melon," a young girl shook the lady's sleeve.
"I'll buy it for you," the lady said.
"Do you want to buy melons?" Qin He ran a shop, so she was naturally good at calculating. She struck up a conversation: "I am a young lady of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor. If you want to buy melons, I'll go tell them for you."
"Buy, buy, buy......" the lady and the young girl said busily.
Other ladies and misses heard this and gathered around, surrounding Qin He. Qin He asked which families wanted to buy and how many, and amidst the flattery of everyone, she went to find Qin Yan.
Qin Yan said: "The Minister and the Vice Minister have both bought them."
Qin He went to pass the message again; she was busier than Qin Yan.
Qin Bi came to the desolate land in the mid-afternoon. Rong Juan was keeping an eye on things in the Prince Manor, and the children were being taken care of by Rong Juan. Fubao followed Qin Bi. Every family had bought melons, but the little Imperial Prince had come to the desolate land and made no move, making the Great Yan Emperor unable to sit still.
As soon as Fubao arrived, she went to find Lin Yao and Rong Yang. Qin Bi went to the fields. The melons had been sold out, the spirit melons had all been harvested, and what remained in the fields were watermelons that weren't fully ripe.
"We can wait two more days to pick them; they should be ripe in two days," an aide said.
Qin Bi nodded, and Qin Lang ran over to learn from Luo Bi.
Shortly after, Qin Yan also came over.
"Eldest cousin," Qin Bi asked: "How is your family's melon harvest?"
"Almost finished harvesting." Qin Yan called Qin Bi to go to their melon field together.
Qin Bi hesitated for a moment but followed Qin Yan. The Su Heir Apparent and others cut a watermelon, and Qin Yan took a piece for Qin Bi, sending someone to call the Su Heir Apparent's wife and the others over to eat melon.
Qin Yan took a piece of melon and handed it to Qin He: "Qin He sister, this piece is good."
The sisters were on good terms, and no one cared. The Su Heir Apparent's wife just thought Qin He was popular. Qin He, acting as a young lady of the Marquis Manor, very skillfully gave the watermelon to the Su Heir Apparent's wife.
The Su Heir Apparent's wife took a bite: "Delicious."
"Delicious, right?" Qin He brought up her good fortune again: "The desolate land is barren. If it weren't for my high good fortune, crops wouldn't be able to grow in this soil lacking spiritual energy."
Qin Bi narrowed her eyes and scanned over: "Do you mean that it was the good luck you brought that allowed the Marquis Manor to grow a field in the desolate land?"
"Am I wrong?" Qin He didn't feel there was any problem at all, her face serious: "My good fortune is the highest in the entire Marquis Manor. Without me, crops would absolutely not be able to grow in the desolate land."
Qin Yan followed up while eating melon: "That's right. Having someone with good fortune in the family can bless everyone."
The Su Heir Apparent and the young masters of the Su Guogong Manor smiled, not wanting to say whose good fortune it was. This thing was mysterious and unpredictable. The Su Heir Apparent's wife wouldn't say much about the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's affairs, just eating the melon in small bites. It was truly sweet!
How could the Heir Apparent's wife truly do manual labor? She had only come to taste the melons and soak in the joy of the harvest.
Qin Yan frowned: "Qin Yan, go back after eating the melon. There are plenty of people."
Qin Yan had spent a lot of effort snatching the Bountiful Harvest Cloud from Qin Lang and the others to grow a field. What did it have to do with Qin He's good fortune? This forced connection was too far-fetched.
"We have many people in our Marquis Manor, so we have face." Qin He didn't leave: "Besides, I'm here, and the melons are in short supply. It's so easy to sell! Eldest cousin, you must reward me with something."
Qin He said it half-jokingly, implying that she had contributed.
Of course, it could also be heard as a joke, depending on whether you believed in mystic arts.
"If you say so, why didn't you clear farmland in the desolate land yourself?" Qin Bi sneered, reminding Qin He: "The melons are sold, but the crystals won't be given to you." ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
