Chapter 586: No Matter How Many Spirit Fruits, It's Not Enough to Eat
The Minister of Works hurriedly ran out, followed by everyone else.
Families had people waiting at the teleportation array; after a round of coughing and brushing away the dust, they saw that what returned from the array were sandalwood logs, along with branches and vines, and several baskets of low-grade spirit fruits.
"Which family did this teleport back?" someone asked.
People from all the families stared at the teleportation array, amazed at which family had such a good harvest. The Minister of Works and the Vice Minister, seeing the trees that had returned, were incredibly delighted; they would be perfect for making furniture.
"Where are the people from the Rong Wang Fu?" Qin Xun asked, standing atop the pile of trees.
At that moment, all the families realized: "It was the Rong Wang Fu!"
People from the Rong Wang Fu immediately rode horses to report the news to the Rong Wang Fu. Before long, the Rong Wang and the Rong He Shizi arrived carrying two children, along with the Yan Guogong. There was no choice; Little Little Tuanzi insisted on coming.
Hearing that something from their own family had been teleported back, Rong Yuan and Rong Chi made a scene demanding to come along.
The Rong He Shizi had to inform the Yan Guogong Fu, so the Yan Guogong and the young prince accompanied them to bring the children. By the time they arrived, people from all the families were touching the trees and praising them endlessly.
Qin Xun stared at the baskets of spirit fruits. The trees could be inspected, but the spirit fruits could not; these were edible, and what if someone took one to eat? Qin Xun would just keep a close watch on the baskets of spirit fruits.
Seeing Rong Yuan and Rong Chi, Qin Xun waved: "Rong Yuan, Rong Chi, there are spirit fruits."
The little milk bun Rong Chi pounced excitedly: "Eat spirit fruits."
The young prince walked over: "What spirit fruits?"
Qin Xun picked up a spirit fruit from the basket: "Huang Li."
"Wow." The young prince was delighted: "Such a fragrant pear scent."
Rong Yuan wouldn't let the Yan Guogong hold him anymore, struggling to get down. He took a Huang Li from the basket himself, took a bite, and the strong scent of fragrant pears filled the air. Rong Yuan hugged the fruit and gnawed on it, the little milk bun squealing loudly.
"I want to eat," the little milk bun shouted.
Qin Xun handed a Huang Li to the little milk bun Rong Chi, and the young prince took one to eat as well.
Even the pear skin was sweet and fragrant; the children loved eating it.
The Rong He Shizi handed Rong Chi over to the Yan Guogong as well, then went to direct the Rong Wang and the guards to move the trees back to the residence. It was already evening, and the Su Guogong and Cui Guogong had both rushed to the Ministry of Works office.
Who could have expected that while the great cultivation families had yet to make much of a harvest, the Rong Wang Fu had already teleported things back first?
"Wasn't it the Rong Rong Shizifei who went to gather assets for the Rong Wang Fu?"
"Yes, it was the Rong Rong Shizifei."
"The Rong Rong Shizifei collected trees on the very first day????"
The Guogongs and Marquises of the various residences stroked their beards in thought. Not many trees were suitable for making furniture or building houses. Besides, there were other great cultivation families and immortal sects; the Qin Yan Hou Fu was quite weak in power.
"Did they find a good place?"
"Hiss, if they found something good, could those with low cultivation base snatch it from those with high cultivation base?"
"The Qin Yan Hou Fu only just became a cultivation family."
Having just become a cultivation family meant that most of the family members had low cultivation base, with only the Qin He Shizi and Qin Tan having respectable cultivation. Therefore, there was no reason they would find a good place and not get robbed!
As for robbing others? That was even more impossible.
"Could it be that they were with that Xue Rong Shizifei who has max-level fortune value?"
"It's possible they were with the Xue Rong Shizifei; max-level fortune value means great luck."
"That explains it. No wonder the Rong Wang Fu collected the trees first. These trees are mainly several types of sandalwood."
Hearing this, the Rong Wang was displeased. The Rong Wang knew that Qin Bi had some luck. Think about it: without luck, could she have been destined to marry the heir of a powerful minister? Qin He had desperately wanted to marry into the Yan Guogong Fu and nearly lost her life in the process.
Qin Bi had married in effortlessly. The fate of the powerful minister's heir that doomed his wives did not affect Qin Bi at all. It was just that the He He Shizi did not cherish her, so Qin Bi divorced immediately after marriage.
When Rong Juan sought to marry her, the fate of a wife-killer and childless man did not hinder Qin Bi. With such a fate, could she have benefited from Qin He's light? Absolutely not. The Rong Wang did not believe it. Besides, Qin Bi was extremely disgusted with her cousin Qin He.
The Rong Wang deliberately asked Qin Xun: "Did you collect things together with the Xue Rong Shizifei?"
Qin Xun shook his head: "No, Qin He was with people from the immortal sect."
The Rong Wang was satisfied; he knew it would be like this.
Everyone else: "..."
Alright, everyone knew now. The things collected by the Rong Wang Fu did not benefit from the Xue Wang Fu; they collected them themselves. They had all guessed wrong. Then everyone was somewhat confused. Was max-level fortune value just like this?!
"When our Great Yan Emperor went to the small space of the demon beast realm, even the small spirit beasts ran right up to him."
"Not only did the small spirit beasts run up to him, but spirit plants grew all over the ground."
"Max-level fortune value is not empty talk."
So, what was the deal with this Xue Rong Shizifei's max-level fortune value? There was not a single sign of activity. One would think that being with people from an immortal sect, her max-level fortune value would be even more powerful.
The Minister of Works was also happy. The teleportation array of the Ministry of Revenue had not shown any signs of activity yet. The Minister of Works said to the Rong He Shizi: "Rong He Shizi, your Rong Wang Fu is impressive; you were the first to teleport things back."
The Rong He Shizi smiled lightly: "The Rong Shizifei is gathering assets for the children; it is not a matter of being impressive."
In high spirits, the Minister of Works ordered the people of the Ministry of Works to help move the items. It was late at night, and many people heard the news and rushed over to see the spectacle. Even the children of the Qin Yan Hou Fu came along with the adults.
Rong Yuan called out to Qin Su: "Brother, come, eat a spirit fruit."
The little milk bun Rong Chi also shouted: "Eat spirit fruits."
More than ten children walked over. Rong Yuan gave one spirit fruit to each person, including Qin Xun's child. The little milk bun Rong Chi hugged a large Huang Li and busily gnawed on it; his little teeth were very sharp.
The eldest son of the Cui family was puzzled about Qin He's max-level fortune value.
But there was no rush; it was only the first day. Perhaps nothing was teleported because the storage bag could still hold everything.
At this time, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue were the liveliest. People from various residences kept arriving to see the spectacle. Originally, no one planned to go to the Ministry of Works or the Ministry of Revenue on the first day since no one had teleported anything back.
Who knew they wouldn't be able to sleep early?
The Qin Yan Hou and the wife of the Qin Yan Hou also arrived. The Rong He Shizi distributed some of the trees to the Qin Yan Hou: "The courtyard where Qin Bi lives needs renovation and expansion. Transport these trees to the Hou Fu."
The Qin Yan Hou nodded: "That is good."
People from the Qin Yan Hou Fu moved some away. There was no share of the spirit fruits; that would be discussed when Qin Bi returned. The Rong He Shizi would not give spirit fruits to the Hou Fu. He had two little buns at home, and no matter how many spirit fruits there were, they would not be enough to eat.
The trees were moved to the Qin Yan Hou Fu to build a courtyard for Qin Bi.
The entire Ministry of Works was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Fu Bao followed Prince Xue He Shizi, puzzled: "Isn't this from our Xue Wang Fu?"
"No," Prince Xue He Shizi said. "Your mother has not sent anything back yet."
"Mother has max-level luck value," Fu Bao emphasized.
Prince Xue He Shizi: "..."
"I want to eat spirit fruit," Fu Bao said, craving food.
Prince Xue He Shizi was not Qin He; he would not go over to ask for spirit fruit. Fu Bao pouted unhappily. She was Fu Bao; all delicious things should be given to her. Why should Rong Juan and Rong Chi get to eat spirit fruit?
Fu Bao tried to move forward, but Prince Xue He Shizi called her back.
Since Fu Bao had already been called food-craving, Prince Xue He Shizi would not let her go ask for spirit fruit.
