Chapter 402: Selling Spiritual Vegetables

Rong Yang waited for Qin Bi, and Qin Lang ran back.

"Harvesting spiritual vegetables is a bumper crop, which increases the child's good fortune," Rong Shizi said. "If it's warmer at noon, bring Rong Chi over."

Qin Bi nodded; Rong Shizi spoke to her very naturally.

Qin Bi couldn't help but ask: "Did you know I was going to call Second Brother and Qin Lang and the others to come?"

Rong Shizi smiled lightly, glanced at Qin Lang, who was also listening, and answered Qin Bi: "This kid Qin Lang likes to follow you. Even if I didn't call anyone else, I would have to call him. I didn't bring him this morning just so he and Qin Xun could come over with you."

People with good fortune need their family to protect them so that their lifespan can be long.

Qin Bi's lifespan had been damaged and she had recovered it, but one still couldn't be careless. Rong Shizi rarely mentioned it, but in his heart, he was most concerned about Qin Bi's lifespan. Rong Shizi had thought of everything in every aspect.

Qin Lang's eyes lit up; Rong Shizi cared so much about his Jiejie.

Qin Lang was happy from the bottom of his heart and stopped calling him Rong Heir Apparent, instead calling out: "Brother-in-law."

Rong Shizi gave a low "Mn" and smiled: "Go quickly and harvest the spiritual vegetables. With your Jiejie and your two big nephews here, there will be no shortage of benefits for you." He then instructed: "Protect Rong Yang a little."

"Alright!" Qin Lang called out to Rong Yang and left.

The Little Imperial Prince followed; wherever Rong Yang went, he went.

Supposedly, Qin Bi should have been with Rong Shizi, not needing to do any work, just watching everyone harvest the spiritual vegetables.

Qin Bi looked at Rong Shizi: "I want to go too."

Rong Shizi was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Go ahead."

Qin Bi happily followed Qin Lang and Rong Yang. The Little Imperial Prince looked back curiously: Why wasn't the Heir Apparent's wife with Rong Shizi? Standing beside Rong Shizi was so gentle, dignified, and noble.

"Jiejie," Qin Lang was also surprised, "Rong Shizi is really good to you."

In noble families, there were many rules, yet Rong Shizi didn't make Qin Bi follow the rules of an Heir Apparent's wife.

Qin Bi was also happy and smiled. Rong Yang spoke up for Rong Shizi; the child, small in stature, tilted his head and said: "Father has always been very good to Mother. Others can't scold Little Brother, but Mother can scold Little Brother."

The little milk bun Rong Chi was the apple of Rong Shizi's eye; no one could say a harsh word to him. Qin Lang knew this—otherwise, why would Rong Yang be able to go to the Marquis Manor at any time, while everyone was so cautious when Rong Chi went?

Sigh, they were worried about not looking after the child well and being blamed by Rong Shizi.

Everyone couldn't say much; Rong Shizi had been cursed with losing wives and having no children, and having finally had a child, he naturally held him like a pearl or a treasure in the palm of his hand. Everyone in the Qin Yan Marquis Manor understood this.

Not to mention the people in the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, even in the imperial court, all the civil and military officials understood.

Qin Lang felt relieved. His Jiejie's position as the Heir Apparent's wife was secure, and the position of Heir Apparent for Rong Yang and Rong Chi could not be shaken. As a family that followed them, the Qin Yan Marquis Manor could also look forward to a bright future.

In this way, it shouldn't be a problem for the Marquis Manor to take a step forward among the many cultivation families.

The Minister of War arrived first, followed by the scholars who had previously helped with the farming, as well as cultivators. Everyone came forward to ask if they were selling spiritual vegetables and what the prices were.

Some scholars had average family backgrounds and didn't have many beast crystals, so they weren't well-off even using silver to buy them.

A young scholar asked Rong Yang: "Little Heir Apparent, can I buy spiritual vegetables with one low-grade beast crystal?"

Rong Yang hesitated and turned to look at Qin Bi.

Qin Bi saw that the scholar was dressed plainly but not shabbily, and was enthusiastic. After a moment of contemplation, she said: "One orchid-tier low-grade beast crystal can buy one cabbage leaf, or one cilantro, or one green radish leaf. That's all you can buy."

The scholar turned to discuss with his classmates; they could afford it.

Scholars usually went to reclaim wasteland to earn some beast crystals. If they were diligent, they would have some harvest, so they wouldn't be unable to come up with even one beast crystal. Other rogue cultivators weren't necessarily much richer than the scholars.

The path of cultivation consumed a lot of resources.

The Minister of War was dumbfounded: "They've started selling them one leaf at a time?"

Su Shizi, who had come along, was also dumbfounded. He turned to Su Er Young Master and said: "Green radishes count as spiritual vegetables, but what? They're selling radish greens one by one?"

Su Er Young Master: "......???????"

Su Er Young Master had to ask; there was no such way to sell things.

"One radish green costs one beast crystal?" Su Er Young Master asked. After asking, he couldn't help but say: "Rong Shizi's wife, even the Immortal Sects don't sell spiritual vegetables like this; radish greens are given away for free."

Qin Bi immediately ordered: "Yan Huwei, cut off the radish greens and sell them one by one. The Rong Wang Fu has a shallow foundation; there is no such thing as giving things away for free."

Yan Huwei was startled: "Alright!"

Yan Huwei signaled his men to cut off the radish greens, or even pull them off, but carefully—they couldn't be treated as rotten vegetable leaves. Didn't they hear what the Heir Apparent's wife said? Each one was worth a beast crystal.

Good heavens, they were more expensive than the spiritual vegetables sold by the Immortal Sects.

Su Er Young Master: "......"

Su Shizi: "......"

Minister of War: "......???????"

The Minister of War whispered: "It would have been better not to ask."

The Little Imperial Prince was dumbfounded. Oh my, he shouldn't have returned to the palace yesterday; he should have stayed at the Rong Wang Fu, eating their food and drinking their drink. The spiritual vegetables at the Rong Wang Fu cost a beast crystal for a single leaf!

"Are you buying?" everyone discussed.

The scholars didn't need to discuss; buying a leaf was fine. Scholars weren't well-off to begin with.

"Let's buy it. It's not like we have to buy radish greens."

"Fine, let's pool our money and see if we can buy a big cabbage together."

No need to pool money; it wouldn't work. They were all sold one leaf at a time, and one leaf cost one orchid-tier low-grade beast crystal. Lin Yao told people this, and he himself couldn't figure out what the Heir Apparent's wife meant.

Selling vegetable leaves? Noble families wouldn't spend these beast crystals just to eat vegetable leaves.

Spiritual vegetables weren't that great either; who liked to eat vegetable leaves?

The Minister of War went to the side to observe.

The scholars bought cabbage, mostly buying one leaf at a time.

A scholar watched the leaves being broken off one by one and got excited, thinking he could wait a bit longer to buy the heart of the cabbage. But he thought too much; they weren't selling the cabbage heart.

Qin Bi said to Rong Yang: "The cabbage heart is for you to eat."

Rong Yang was happy, ran over with a patter, and hugged the cabbage heart away.

The young scholar: "......"

The cabbage heart ran away??????

The Minister of War felt that something was wrong. No one was a fool. Using beast crystals to buy cabbage leaves was fine and could be justified, but spending beast crystals to buy radish greens was ridiculous.

You're shrewd, but are others fools?

The Minister of War called the Little Imperial Prince over and whispered: "Go ask Rong Shizi's wife why she's selling broken radish greens for beast crystals? Who eats radish greens?"

The Little Imperial Prince was also quite puzzled. He nodded and ran to find Qin Bi.

"Shizifei," the Little Imperial Prince said.

Qin Bi turned her head, and the Little Imperial Prince whispered: "Who eats broken radish greens? No one is buying them." ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
