Chapter 281: Didn't Consult Qin He

~8 min read 1,595 words

Qin He wasn't clever since she was small. Before she reached the age of pinning, she suddenly came up with many fresh things.

Opening shops, earning silver, everything went smoothly.

Thus, everyone knew Qin He had good fortune, but Qin He hadn't tested her good fortune value. In fact, for Qin Yan, whether Qin He's good fortune value was high or not didn't matter. The main thing was that Qin He wasn't as clever now as she was before she got married.

One thing after another, full of calculations.

"After harvesting the melons, can we plant another crop of something else?" the Su Heir Apparent asked.

If they could, Qin Yan's gains wouldn't be small. Planting crops one after another, there would be no need to go to the Beast Realm's small space to collect things. Just relying on the fields would be enough to earn crystals.

"I'm afraid not," Qin Yan pondered, his mouth twitching: "Several families have been summoning rain for irrigation, and the little cloud is exhausted and is recuperating. It's impossible to plant another crop in the desolate land."

The Su Heir Apparent frowned: "Why is it so reckless?"

To be able to exhaust the little cloud—you might as well die.

Qin Yan was helpless. The soil in the desolate land urgently needed a large amount of rain every day. If it wasn't irrigated for one day, it would harden. Qin Bi had snatched it up vigorously, and everyone followed suit, exhausting the spiritual energy of the Bountiful Harvest Cloud in one go.

He couldn't tell the Su Heir Apparent this; if his maternal grandfather found out, he would be scolded to death.

Qin He was countered by Qin Bi and was very resentful. Later, she said to the ladies and misses of various manors: "I have the highest good fortune in the entire Marquis Manor. Don't believe it? Sooner or later, you will know that it was I who brought good fortune to the Marquis Manor."

Qin He's expression was serious, and the ladies believed her a little. No one would speak so confidently without some certainty.

Qin Han called her husband and children to Qin Tang and Qin Xun's melon field and worked silently. She didn't call Qin He, and Qin Tang and Qin Xun didn't care. Later, they cut a watermelon and shared it.

Qin Han ate the melon and peeked: "There are quite a few cracked melons."

Jiang Shi felt heartache and sighed: "That's right. They are all good melons, but they are very crisp. They crack at a touch. We can't eat them all ourselves, and cracked melons don't keep. Take a few when you go back."

Qin Han was happy in her heart and said politely: "I'll keep them to sell for money."

Jiang Shi looked at Jiang Ren and said: "The child has been busy for half a day."

Clearing land required spiritual energy, and cultivators had to clear it themselves. Harvesting melons didn't have any particular requirements, mainly because the spirit melons and ordinary watermelons grew so well that Qin Tang and the others were worried. Jiang Shi and Lin Shi both came.

The personal maids and nannies followed to dig vegetables. Jiang Shi and Lin Shi couldn't really order Jiang Ren, a little girl, to work. They just said it. After all, the girl was small, and whether she worked or not, the uncle and aunt giving a few melons out of courtesy didn't count for much.

In any case, they were grown by their own family. Although the price wasn't low, Jiang Shi wasn't stingy.

"Why don't you thank your aunt?" Qin Han said to Jiang Ren.

Jiang Ren immediately said: "Thank you, Aunt."

The aunt had said she would give her a few watermelons, and the little girl was happy. She had come to be exposed to the sun today just to get a few melons to eat. She had been looking forward to it, and now her aunt had finally spoken.

Lin Shi went to talk to a close friend, who was also a Marquis Manor lady, and asked her: "Is this good luck of your Marquis Manor really brought by the Xue Heir Apparent Consort? I heard her say it to others."

Lin Shi frowned, dissatisfied: "She really knows how to claim credit for herself."

The lady of the Marquis Manor knew that wasn't the case, but since Qin He said it herself, she instructed: "Since the Xue Heir Apparent Consort said so, keep it in mind. Don't let every good thing be hers."

Lin Shi nodded and went to find Qin Xun. Qin Xun and Qin Tang went to find Qin Bi again.

Qin Bi saw the Vice Minister of Works and the Vice Minister of Revenue and said directly: "The Xue Heir Apparent Consort said that the desolate land being able to grow crops is good luck she brought to the Marquis Manor. Two officials, you have also seen it. The farmland has been cleared and a crop of melons has grown. Next, it depends on the Xue Heir Apparent Consort. She has good fortune, so it shouldn't be buried. If she has the ability, she should make the farmland grow another crop of crops."

The Vice Minister of Revenue and the Vice Minister of Works looked at each other. This move was absolute.

Qin Bi had more to say. The little cloud didn't have spiritual energy for the time being and was exhausted. Qin Bi said: "Two officials, my Rong Prince Manor's few plots of farmland have no time to plant. Let the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works plant them. The little Heir Apparent only wants two percent of the harvest."

The two Vice Ministers weren't fools. Spirit melons had been grown, so why would such a large plot of farmland be given to them to plant for no reason? They guessed that the soil in this farmland had no energy left and couldn't produce much.

However, they wouldn't give up until they tried!

"Good," the Vice Minister of Revenue reached out and made a gesture of invitation: "Let's go draw up the document."

Lin Yao followed the people from the Ministry of Revenue. According to Lin Yao, he would definitely want four percent of the harvest, but Qin Bi had already said it, so he could only follow what Qin Bi said. After drawing up the document, he returned to report.

Qin Yan heard about it and came to find Qin Bi: "Why do you have to be angry with Qin He? Let her say what she wants; why bother with her? This plot of farmland has been raised, and the next crop can also harvest some things."

Giving it to others to plant, two percent was too little.

"Without the little Bountiful Harvest Cloud for irrigation, who can you count on to summon so much rain?" Qin Bi analyzed for Qin Yan. Originally, they all relied on the spiritual energy from the little Bountiful Harvest Cloud's advancement to grow crops. Qin Bi chuckled: "What good fortune does she have? Try not working and just moving your mouth. The harvest in the fields isn't blown out by bragging. We didn't even turn the soil to plant. Can Qin He's good fortune make things grow by themselves? Forget it, it's not bad to be able to grow this crop. Don't be greedy. The next crop won't grow much with ordinary rain. Don't waste that effort."

The desolate land lacked spiritual energy, and it wasn't easy to raise a plot of land.

Qin Yan thought about it and went to discuss it with the Qin Yan Marquis and his brothers, and then they all went to the Ministry of Revenue to draw up the document. Rong Yan and Jiang Xu heard about it and also ran to the Ministry of Revenue's temporary office in the desolate land.

Qin He was dumbfounded. Qin Yan had discussed such a big matter with Qin Bi but hadn't consulted her. She was still waiting to be recognized by the family as the Marquis Manor's prodigy. If they didn't consult her on matters, how could she become the Marquis Manor's prodigy?

"Didn't they consult you?" Qin Han asked.

Qin He panicked: "I'll go find Eldest cousin and ask what's going on."

Qin He went to find Qin Yan. She didn't dare to find the Qin Yan Marquis; she couldn't speak in front of the Qin Yan Marquis. Qin Yan and the others looked at each other. Why did they make a decision without consulting Qin He?!

Qin Yan said to the concubine-born sons of the first branch: "Tidy up the things and prepare to go back."

The concubine-born sons were busy looking in the melon field, picking up the cracked melons and carefully putting them into baskets. They had to be careful; they were already cracked, and if they cracked again, they would shatter and wouldn't keep.

Qin He went over. She didn't dare to put on airs and said to Qin Yan with a smile: "Eldest cousin, did you go to the Ministry of Revenue to draw up the document? It's not easy to grow a field in the desolate land. How can you give it to others to plant?"

Are you stupid? Spirit melons have been grown, so keep planting. Crop after crop.

Qin Yan gave a perfunctory "Mm": "Not planting anymore."

Qin Yan didn't have time to pay attention to Qin He, so Qin He had no choice but to leave. ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
