Chapter 405: Is Qin He Worthy?

~9 min read 1,602 words

Qin Bi handed the silver notes back: "The Wang Fu's foundation is thin, you don't need to give them to me."

Rong Shizi didn't intend to take them back. At the desk, the man took a sip of tea and gave Qin Bi a suggestion: "The Wang Fu doesn't lack this bit. You can take it to slap Qin He in the face, telling her that she, Qin He, is just working for you, and you can collect silver just by staying at home."

Qin Bi smiled, having no interest in doing so.

However, one could guess how frantic Qin He would be just by thinking about it.

Rong Juan didn't care whether Qin Bi slapped Qin He in the face or not. Personality couldn't be changed; Qin Bi had this personality, unlike Qin He, who was self-righteous but, in fact, had opened her mouth to ask people for resources many times.

Talk about being self-righteous? Is Qin He worthy? Rong Juan sneered.

All of Qin He's cultivation resources were asked for by opening her mouth!

Rong Yang ran over and looked at the silver notes. Qin Bi put the silver notes away.

Rong Yang said: "Can this be used to build a courtyard for the Marquis Manor?"

"What?" Qin Bi was puzzled: "Why build a courtyard for Grandfather's family?"

"Mother's boudoir is small, and she's still in the same courtyard as Aunt Qin Han," Rong Yang said in a milky voice: "I will often live at Grandfather's house in the future. The courtyard Mother lives in is too small, and there will be a little brother later. When our whole family goes to Grandfather's house, sometimes we stay over, and the courtyard is very small."

Qin Bi and Rong Juan looked at each other, both feeling a bit moved.

Rong Juan smiled. He had long intended to renovate the Fourth Branch's courtyard in the Marquis Manor: "Alright, I'll mention it to your grandfather later. Our whole family will go live at your grandfather's house; it must be comfortable."

In this cultivation world, if a married daughter was favored in her maiden home, the courtyard in her maiden home would always be kept for her, and she could live there whenever she wanted. This was also a kind of good fortune.

Qin Bi often returned to her maiden home for this reason.

Don't even mention Qin He; that fellow ran to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor as soon as she lifted her feet. Qin He also knew how to open shops and earn silver, so the younger generation almost all pampered Qin He, and Qin He's courtyard was decorated quite well.

Among the concubine-born daughters of the Marquis Manor, the one Qin He lived in was considered the best courtyard.

The Fourth Branch had been cold-shouldered by Rong Shizi and He Shizi in the past few years and had no chance to get ahead, so it couldn't compare to the Second Branch, and the courtyard the concubine-born daughters lived in was naturally smaller.

This matter couldn't be mentioned; mentioning it would mean settling old scores.

Rong Juan absolutely wouldn't mention it. He Shizi cold-shouldered Qin Bi, and he, Rong Shizi, didn't necessarily treat Qin Bi well either. Now, Rong Juan just needed to expand the Fourth Branch's courtyard. He would pay for it, not letting the Fourth Branch spend too much.

The next day, Rong Shizi continued to go to the fief to harvest spiritual vegetables.

All the spiritual vegetables that should be harvested were harvested, and those that hadn't grown well continued to grow. It was unclear why, but harvesting the spiritual vegetables easily attracted the weather. It was overcast for a day, and in the evening, a fine, dense drizzle began to fall, followed by light snow.

The Great Yan Emperor, the Chancellor, and the Ministers of the Six Ministries were all surprised.

"No wonder the powerful official's Heir Apparent child wasn't born; our Great Yan lost 40 fortune and luck values," the Chancellor said, stroking his beard: "The Little Heir Apparent planting some vegetables actually brought about a light snow."

The Minister of Revenue nodded: "Little Heir Apparent Rong Yang has good fortune."

"It's just that the spiritual vegetables are sold too expensively," the Minister of War said, still brooding: "Selling them one leaf at a time, I've never seen vegetables sold like this. Even the Immortal Sects aren't this calculating."

The Chancellor thought this wasn't strange. Rong Shizi pampered his wife and children, letting the Shizifei and the Little Heir Apparent do whatever they wanted. Their style of doing things was naturally childish, but they couldn't help it—Rong Shizi pampered them.

He Shizi didn't cherish her, and the Marquis Manor's concubine-born daughter became Rong Shizi's wife. Rong Shizi pampered the Shizifei like a pearl or a treasure, which the ministers could all understand.

The spiritual vegetables were sold very willfully, but the Minister of Works said: "I'll go buy some spiritual vegetables later."

"Buy them quickly," the Minister of War said: "The freshly harvested spiritual vegetables are very fresh, and the spiritual energy is pure. After a long time, the spiritual energy of the spiritual vegetables will have impurities."

Once the Minister of Works heard this, he couldn't sit still. He told the Great Yan Emperor and left the palace for Rong Shizi's fief. The Minister of Revenue thought about it, followed, and also bought a cart of spiritual vegetables.

The Great Yan Emperor wanted to improve the cultivation of the Great Yan's cultivation families as a whole, so he summoned Rong Juan into the palace. Rong Juan was holding his little son. The little milk bun was a foodie, his little hands grabbing a small chili pepper and gnawing on it.

The Great Yan Emperor was startled: "Isn't it spicy?"

The little milk bun split his little mouth: "Hiss, so spicy."

The Great Yan Emperor loved spicy food, so he reached out for the child's small chili pepper: "Let Imperial He He Bo Fu taste it."

The little milk bun wasn't stingy. He took a small chili pepper out of his purse and extended his little hands to the Great Yan Emperor: "Taste it, it's delicious, it's all Rong Chi's and Big Brother's."

The Great Yan Emperor asked: "Are you not selling them?"

The little milk bun: "Not selling."

The Great Yan Emperor looked at Rong Juan, and Rong Shizi said: "The chili peppers have more spiritual energy and are pure. The Shizifei and I discussed it and decided to keep them for our own consumption, not for sale."

The Great Yan Emperor took a bite of the small chili pepper, pondering how to open his mouth to Rong Juan. Eh? The spiciness of the small chili pepper was fragrant, crisp, and delicious, making one's mouth water.

The Great Yan Emperor also set his sights on the small chili peppers. He ate the small chili pepper and said: "Rong Ai Qing, don't sell the spiritual vegetables from your fief to others. Sell them to your colleagues. I'll buy some too."

Rong Juan knew the Great Yan Emperor's considerations and nodded: "No problem, but the chili peppers are not for sale."

Qin Bi liked the chili pepper field very much, as did Rong Yang and Rong Chi. The mother and children all cherished this piece of spiritual vegetable land, and Rong Juan didn't intend to move it. The Great Yan Emperor couldn't do anything about it either. As an Emperor, he couldn't get in the way of him pampering his wife and children.

The Great Yan Emperor: "...... Ai Qing."

Rong Juan said: "It's not easy for me to have a wife and children."

"Uh......" The Great Yan Emperor's next words were choked off.

He was most afraid of the two powerful official Shizis using their wives and children as an excuse. As long as they brought up pampering their wives and children, the Great Yan Emperor couldn't open his mouth to ask for anything. These were things the Shizifei and the Little Heir Apparent loved to eat.

Could the Emperor have the face to ask for them??!!

The Great Yan Emperor smacked his lips, the fragrance of the chili pepper still in his mouth. It was delicious. The Great Yan Emperor reached out to the little milk bun: "Imperial Nephew, come, Imperial He He Bo Fu will hold you."

The little milk bun threw his little body over, and Rong Juan handed the child to the Great Yan Emperor.

The Chancellor finally caught Rong Shizi and moved a stack of memorials to Rong Juan.

Rong Juan: "......"

Fine, he picked up his pen and flipped through the memorials. Rong Shizi began to review the memorials.

The Great Yan Emperor coaxed the child, and coaxed him again, and coaxed away all the small chili peppers in the little milk bun's purse. The little bun patted his little purse: "They're gone."

When he went out, his brother had filled it for him.

The little milk bun's dark, bright eyes were filled with confusion. What happened?

The Great Yan Emperor didn't say a word. The small chili peppers weren't sold to him, so he could only coax the small chili peppers in his Imperial Nephew's purse. Boiled melon seeds were brought up, and the Great Yan Emperor shelled melon seeds for the child to eat. In a while, the little milk bun forgot that his purse was empty.

The Chancellor and the Minister of War felt guilty. Even when the Great Yan Emperor gave the child a bag of boiled melon seeds, they didn't feel the pinch. ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
