Chapter 282: Distributing Melons

Qin He was blocked with anger and also uneasy.

She had always wanted to become the Marquis Manor's prodigy. In the entire Marquis Manor, apart from the married-off legal misses, Qin He didn't feel that anyone would compete with her for the status of prodigy; they weren't qualified. But now, Qin He felt a sense of crisis.

Qin He was listless. Qin Yan asked her: "Qin He sister, what's wrong with you?"

Qin He pressed her head: "A bit dizzy."

"You just recovered from your injury, and the sun in the desolate land is too poisonous," Qin Yan didn't suspect Qin He was lying at all: "Why don't you go back? People with weak bodies can't withstand the fatigue."

Qin He hesitated. Qin Yan learned that Qin He was dizzy and also persuaded her to go back.

Qin He only said: "I'll be with everyone."

The harvest was a big event, and many people were watching. Qin He didn't want to leave early. It was said that the harvest could bring good luck, and Qin He believed this very much. The Marquis Manor had benefited from her light quite a bit.

She had earned so much silver for the Marquis Manor, so it was only right that she should get something.

The Qin Yan Marquis looked at the farmland and picked the ones for his own family to eat. There was also a plot left for the Su Guogong Manor. The Qin Yan Marquis discussed with Qin Yan: "Let your maternal grandfather's family pick the melons now. There aren't many, so save them from coming back another day."

Qin Yan asked for the Su Heir Apparent's opinion, and the Su Heir Apparent said: "Why don't we pick them?"

Every family's melon field had harvested their melons. No one felt at ease leaving a plot of unharvested melons.

Qin Tang and Qin Lang and the others came to help. With many people, the speed was fast, and the melons were soon picked. There was a cart of melons, not a small amount. The little Imperial Prince came over and was envious. Fubao was looking forward to it, but the remaining melons all had owners. Fubao wanted to buy some but couldn't buy any.

Qin He didn't see the Su Heir Apparent give any crystals. The first branch could give them to the Su Guogong Manor, so they probably wouldn't let her leave empty-handed. The first branch had opened a shop with her light, so they should at least give her a basket of spirit melons.

Qin He waited. She wouldn't ask for them; asking would make it seem like she was too eager.

What good things would she, Qin He, lack? How could that be?

Qin Bi said to Lin Yao and the Yan guard: "After going back, give them two baskets of cracked melons and two baskets of good melons. In any case, distribute two or three melons to each person. If it's not enough, ask the little Heir Apparent for more."

The aides and guards were stunned and pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Heir Apparent Consort, for the reward."

Qin Bi was being an Heir Apparent Consort for the first time and didn't understand anything. Rong Yang didn't stop her. Qin Bi guessed that this reward was acceptable. Don't look at how small Rong Yang was; he understood a lot. Qin Bi was worried that rewarding cracked melons from the ordinary watermelons was inappropriate.

The aides and guards wouldn't mind whether they were ordinary watermelons or cracked melons. They were grown by their own Prince Manor, and they were all cracked because they hadn't moved them well. They were the same to eat, and cracked melons weren't hard to sell.

He He Shizi Apparent Consort rewarded them with melons, and everyone was full of joy.

The third branch harvested their own melons and didn't think about distributing them to anyone. After returning to the Marquis Manor, they would distribute them to relatives and friends later. There was no rush now. Qin Tan had many colleagues and friends with whom he had good relationships, and he had his own plans.

The fourth branch also had plans, such as Jiang Shi's maiden home and Lin Shi's maiden home. Distributing melons would wait until they returned.

Rong Yan's family also harvested their own melons, so no one needed to be distributed any. Jiang Xu left a small plot of melon field for his maternal grandfather's family. Right now, they were all picking. Distributing them to his maternal grandfather's family in the desolate land would save trouble after returning to the Jiang Manor.

Qin He went over to the first branch's side. Qin Yan saw that the melons were all harvested and said: "Let's go back."

Opening the teleportation array, everyone left the desolate land.

Qin Bi and Rong Yang returned to the Rong Prince Manor. There were a lot of things in the manor today due to the harvest. Although Qin Bi didn't need to worry about them, Rong Yang, the child, had to ask. He He Shizi Apparent had taught him how to be a little Heir Apparent since Rong Yang was very small.

He He Shizi Apparent directed people to move the watermelons to the warehouse, and by the way, gave the reward Qin Bi had promised to the aides and guards. Each person got two or three ordinary watermelons. Rong Yang made the decision to give two baskets of ordinary watermelons to the Prince Manor's public treasury.

This made the concubines and concubine-born wives very happy, and Rong Prince was also happy holding Rong Yang.

The little milk bun Rong Chi was "ah-ah-ing," reaching out his little hands. He He Shizi Apparent pretended not to see and was busy holding the little milk bun. Qin Bi gave him a small watermelon, and the child laughed "ga-ga," forgetting everything else.

In the Rong Prince Manor, Qin Bi was in charge of distributing melons, and it was also lively in the Qin Yan Marquis Manor.

Jiang Shi whispered to Qin Tang: "How many melons should we give Qin Han?"

Qin Tang said: "Three to five melons will do."

Jiang Shi directed the maid to move two cracked melons. Considering that the Jiang Manor had other branches, to avoid Qin Han being looked down upon, she moved two more good melons. Lin Shi discussed it with Jiang Shi in a low voice.

"You give three is fine," Jiang Shi said: "Our two branches together have seven melons, which is not a small amount."

It was indeed not a small amount. Lin Shi gave two cracked melons and one good melon.

Qin Han's family had eaten dinner and it was already dark. They were preparing to leave. Jiang Shi said: "Take the melons."

When Qin Han saw the melons in the basket, her face turned ugly. There wasn't a single spirit melon.

"Are there no spirit melons?" Qin Han opened her mouth to ask.

Jiang Shi's smile faded, and Qin Di said: "Your two elder brothers have use for them."

Qin Han lowered her head and didn't speak. Having use for them was also paving the way for her two elder brothers. Was she an outsider? Why couldn't they give her a spirit melon? Qin Han felt cold in her heart and felt a blockage she couldn't describe.

Jiang Mo saw this atmosphere and didn't know what to do, feeling awkward.

Qin Tang opened his mouth: "Give her a spirit melon."

Jiang Shi was going to get the spirit melon, but Qin Xun blocked her and said to Lin Shi: "Go to our courtyard and get a spirit melon."

Qin Tang and Qin Xun were brothers in harmony, which made Qin Han seem somewhat ignorant. Qin Han took the spirit melon Lin Shi brought and left quickly. Jiang Mo exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

Qin Han left unhappy. On the first branch's side, Qin Yan sent Qin He two ordinary watermelons. Qin He felt terrible. Was she only worth two ordinary watermelons? They looked down on her too much.

What she wanted was spirit melon, spirit melon!!!!!!

The first branch wanted to send spirit melon, but it wasn't to send it to Qin He; it was to send it to the second branch. As for whether Cui Shi was willing to give it to Qin He, the first branch didn't care. They sent two ordinary watermelons to the fifth branch.

Qin He left without eating dinner, and there wasn't a single smile on her face when she left.

The third branch was the liveliest. Qin Tan and his wife discussed with Qin Lang to give Qin Lang's maternal grandfather's family two baskets of ordinary watermelons, and moved two spirit melons. Qin Lang hesitated for a moment and then moved another spirit melon.

Qin Lang sent them to his maternal grandfather's family. Qin Tan sent watermelons to several colleagues and friends to taste. There was no need to worry about being rude by not sending an invitation; no one would think it was rude, and no one would dislike them for being ordinary watermelons.

They were all court officials, and their ranks were low, which didn't mean they didn't have eyes and ears.

These melons weren't cheap, and the families who got them were very happy.

By the time the third branch finished distributing melons and eating, it was already very late.

Everyone was hungry, but their faces were full of joy. After dinner, Qin Lang, who had good fortune and wasn't stingy, took a few spirit melons, cut them open, and distributed half a spirit melon to each of the third branch's concubine-born sons.

"Thank you, elder brother." The third branch's little concubine-born son held half a spirit melon happily. Eating the spirit melon was good for his spiritual energy.

Qin Tan took the opportunity to beat them: "Qin Lang is good to you, so don't be ungrateful."

The concubine-born sons agreed together. Zhu Shi was satisfied and said kindly: "It's getting late, hurry and go rest."

The concubine-born daughters weren't left out either, each getting a small piece of spirit melon. ===== CHAPTER 283 =====
