Chapter 49: She Must Also Save Up a Small Treasury for Rong Yang

Fubao returned home, and Qin He praised the child: "Our Fubao is truly the blessed one."

Fubao was somewhat smug. Qin He took a look at the rare food items brought back, hardened her heart, picked out two small pastries from among them, divided them into one large and one small portion, and took them back for her younger sister of the same mother and Qin Yan.

The portion with more was naturally for her younger sister, to be shown to her legal mother.

In the Rong Prince Manor, Qin Bi had indeed heard that Qin He had returned to the Qin Yan Hou Fu with a poor complexion. It was Qin Lang who ran over to tell her; Qin He did not have a good relationship with the third and fourth branches, and Qin Lang could not stand to see Qin He doing well, so she ran over to tell Qin Bi as a bit of amusement.

"She was very angry when she arrived." Qin Lang was puzzled: "Her complexion had recovered when she returned; didn't you notice anything? I don't know what urgent business Qin He had to return to the Hou Fu for."

Qin Bi guessed a little; it was likely that she had heard Rong Yang had gone to the Yan Guogong Manor.

That Qin He's child could obtain a pile of heavenly treasures from the Yan Guogong Manor relied on nothing more than the fact that He Yan had no children. Children, after all, look different as they grow up; He Yan might not necessarily favor those nephews born of concubines.

Qin He felt from the bottom of her heart that He Yan's things belonged to her child, Fubao.

Whenever a child approached He Yan, Qin He would inevitably be on guard.

Thinking that Qin He must have gone to the Qin Yan Hou Fu targeting her, Qin Bi sneered. In her view, He Yan could give his things to whoever he pleased; she didn't covet them, but Rong Juan could not stand to see He Yan treat Rong Yang unfairly.

The little one was also interesting, insisting on running over to the control group's side himself.

Qin Lang spoke to herself, envious: "Qin He's child went to the Yan Guogong Manor and packed up quite a lot of things to take back. With so many items, Qin He even gave a portion to her younger sister and Qin Yan. Qin He's child has certainly obtained quite a few heavenly treasures."

A cold wind was blowing outside the house, and Qin Lang sat by the charcoal stove, stretching her legs to warm up.

Beside her was a small side table with a plate of melon seeds.

Qin Lang grabbed some melon seeds to eat, and while cracking them, she said: "Swallowing two children born of auspicious clouds is just different; the blessing value is high, and Qin He's child has never lacked heavenly treasures since childhood."

Listening to this, Qin Bi thought to herself that Rong Juan had also been saving up a small treasury for Rong Yang.

But back then, her lifespan had been damaged, and she was pregnant. To nourish her body, Rong Juan had used a large amount of heavenly treasures. Among the two powerful officials and heirs of Great Yan, Rong Juan did not have as many good things in his hands as He Yan.

No, she also had to save up a small treasury for Rong Yang.

With this thought, Qin Bi felt flustered with excitement and asked Qin Lang: "If I want to earn silver, what is suitable to do? Should I go to the Beast Realm small space to kill spirit beasts?"

"I don't understand this either!" Qin Lang's action of cracking melon seeds paused. She thought for a moment and said: "Rong Yan knows a lot. Why don't I ask Rong Yan and tell you later?"

"Good." Qin Bi nodded: "Ask Rong Yan later."

Qin Lang stood up: "I'll go ask right now."

Qin Bi liked this temperament; she wanted everything resolved immediately and didn't like dragging things out.

Qin Lang threw away the melon seed shells and left. Qin Bi took a sweet potato spirit food and placed it on the charcoal stove to roast. Rong Juan had taken Rong Yang into the palace, so she had to cushion their stomachs when the child returned.

She turned to instruct the maid, then went to fetch a plate of peanuts and placed them on the stove surface.

The stoves in ancient wealthy households were exquisitely crafted, and the charcoal burned was made from various fragrant woods, such as pear wood, which smelled fresh. However, Qin Bi didn't like it much, so she burned the kind without fragrance.

After a while, the smell of roasted peanuts wafted out.

Qin Bi flipped the peanuts. About half an hour later, Rong Yan and Qin Lang returned together. Ever since they went to the Beast Realm small space for training together last time, Rong Yan and Qin Bi could be considered familiar. Hearing that Qin Bi was asking about earning silver, he followed her to the Prince Manor.

"Eat some peanuts." Qin Bi had no airs. Before marrying Rong Juan, she was just a concubine's daughter, and she had only been the Heir Consort for a few days; what airs could she have? Qin Bi smiled: "I just roasted these peanuts."

Rong Yan was not polite either; he sat on the stool next to the stove, took a few peanuts, shelled them, and ate.

Qin Lang also took some to eat and urged Rong Yan: "Rong Yan, tell my sister, if one doesn't go to the Beast Realm small space to kill spirit beasts, what can one do to save up a small treasury for the little heir?"

Qin Bi glanced at the maid, and the maid served tea.

"Land reclamation." Rong Yan offered a suggestion: "Planting in our cultivation world is not easy; the soil is all compacted. Most famous families and scholars will take advantage of the winter before the ground freezes to reclaim land."

Regarding land reclamation, Qin Bi did know a little. In Great Yan, for every one-tenth of a mu of wasteland reclaimed, one was given fifty spirit stones. If it was less than one-tenth of a mu, one could also settle with spirit beast crystals.

If those who cultivate immortality lack cultivation resources, they can reclaim land.

Now that winter had just begun, the soil should not be frozen yet. Qin Bi asked: "Digging soil?"

"Only those who don't cultivate immortality dig soil for reclamation." Rong Yan looked at Qin Bi's delicate appearance: "You were quite powerful in the Beast Realm small space before. If you could use immortal arts to reclaim land like the scholars, that would be great."

Qin Bi understood a little and asked: "You mean using immortal arts to turn compacted soil into good soil?"

Rong Yan nodded: "You should be able to reclaim land; you can already summon rain, so land reclamation is also possible. If you go to reclaim land, you don't need much; just reclaim a little each day. Once you gather half a mu of land, you can go to the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of Works to collect spirit stones and crystals."

Qin Bi pondered whether she should go reclaim land.

Qin Lang also frowned in thought: "In this deep winter, land reclamation is very hard."

Qin Bi also felt she couldn't reclaim land. Ever since she went to the Beast Realm small space, she felt she was terrifyingly strong, but land reclamation was a bit mysterious; it would be better to have something more fantasy-like.

"I was just thinking about going to reclaim land." Rong Yan chatted: "I have spirit roots now, but there is currently no Beast Realm small space suitable for training. This winter, I plan to reclaim land together with the scholars. Maybe I can even get a child scholar degree."

In this cultivation world, the imperial examination is also based on blessings and luck. As long as one can use immortal arts to reclaim a certain amount of farmland, one can become a child scholar. Qin Bi had only heard of it, but listening to Rong Yan, it seemed he wanted to take the imperial examination.

She wanted to as well. Qin Bi was excited: "I'll take the child scholar exam too."

Rong Yan found it funny, and Qin Lang said: "You can do it."

"I really can." Qin Bi was usually gentle, but at this moment, she became lively. She turned to Rong Yan and said: "Let me cast a divination for you first. If you go to the place where you reclaim land, and go to the Spirit Plant Street for a turn first, you will be able to pick up a piece of farmland for free once you reach the reclamation site."

Qin Lang ate melon seeds, laughing uncontrollably.

Rong Yan also found it funny: "I didn't expect the Heir Consort to like joking."

"I'm not joking." Qin Bi wanted to look serious, but she couldn't help but laugh: "I feel that I am about to transcend the world."

Qin Lang: "......???!!!"

Rong Yan: "?????"

"What transcend the world?" Qin Lang didn't understand.

"Mystic arts." Qin Bi explained: "Divination." ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
