Chapter 80

~9 min read 1,638 words

Cultivation families placed special importance on spirit food.

The Chinese cabbage was delicious and the price was low, so the Minister of War's family could still afford it. Then, the Minister of War felt helpless; he had bought two carts at once, and the Minister of Revenue hadn't even gotten any.

Was this still too little? It wasn't little at all.

Fortunately, he had a grandson who was the little Imperial Prince.

Otherwise, the Minister of War wouldn't have known that the little Heir Apparent of the Rong Prince Manor had spirit vegetables, and in such large quantities—two carts! The Minister of War was suspicious. Rong Juan doted on his child; would he watch the child sell them so cheaply?!

However, a Chinese cabbage was truly heavy!

Ten low-grade crystals per jin sounded inexpensive, but once weighed, it wasn't cheap at all.

The Minister of Revenue was also somewhat puzzled that Rong Juan let the child sell vegetables. He thought it must be the yield from the child's vegetable field. However, how could a child whose talent hadn't even been tested yet produce such good vegetables in his field?

The two ministers were puzzled in their hearts. Before dark, Rong Yang followed Rong Juan to his maternal grandfather's house.

"He He Shizi Apparent has brought the little Heir Apparent?" Qin Tang greeted them.

When they reached the main hall, Qin Di and Cui Shi were both there.

Cui Shi beckoned to Rong Yang: "Rong Yang, come over to Grandmother's side. Are you cold?"

The child leaned against Rong Juan. Hearing Cui Shi call him, he wobbled over: "Grandmother, I'm not cold. I grew vegetables in my good fields, and I dug up a cart to send to Grandmother."

"You harvested them so quickly?" Cui Shi was surprised.

Jiang Shi had returned and said that the various vegetables Qin Bi planted for the child in the vegetable field were all growing well and looked delightful. Cui Shi hadn't seen them and hadn't expected them to be harvested already, but Cui Shi was still happy in her heart.

Having her noble son-in-law and little grandson come to deliver them showed the importance they placed on Qin Bi's maiden family.

"You could have just sent word and called the Qin Tang brothers to go get them," Qin Di was also happy, his face full of smiles. He had said it, hadn't he? The Rong Heir Apparent was more suitable for his daughter than He Yan: "It's already dark, and you still brought the child here specially."

Qin Tang meant the same thing; he could have just sent word and he would have made the trip.

Rong Juan sat in the seat for the younger generation, his body full of nobility: "These vegetables have some spiritual energy."

Everyone was stunned. A guard moved a cabbage over. Qin Di took one look and saw that the vegetable grew well and the leaves were clean. He tore off a bit of the inner leaf and put it in his mouth to savor.

Immediately, Qin Di's eyes burst with surprise: "It really has spiritual energy."

Qin Tang also tasted a bit and immediately couldn't sit still. He went out of the room to look at the vegetables on the cart. This cart was not small. Hearing that the cabbage was very crisp, Qin Xun didn't need to use servants and called Qin Lang to move the cabbage.

Zhu Shi from the third branch came along as well and was very curious about the freshly dug cabbage.

The children in the fourth branch's courtyard were happy, running around in the courtyard and talking to their little cousin. Rong Juan didn't stop them, and only then did Jiang Shi not call her own children away, to avoid annoying the Heir Apparent.

Rong Yang was not familiar with his cousins, but he was not distant either.

Cui Shi was satisfied in her heart, and the whole family was happy. After moving the cabbage, they invited Rong Juan to stay for dinner, but Rong Juan refused: "Rong Yang's mother is at home, so Rong Yang and I are going home to eat."

Qin Bi was pregnant, and the Rong Heir Apparent protected her like the apple of his eye; the fourth branch family understood.

"Are you still harvesting the vegetables in the field?" Qin Tang said: "Qin Xun and I will go help Rong Yang harvest the vegetables."

Rong Juan didn't stand on ceremony: "We'll harvest the vegetables tomorrow. Bring the children along too."

Jiang Shi was delighted, and Qin Tang also showed a smile and immediately agreed. Qin Lang naturally had to follow. After agreeing, Rong Juan didn't stay long; he picked up Rong Yang, adjusted the child's cloak, and left.

The people of the fourth branch returned to the courtyard, and Qin Di said: "Qin Tang, move two cabbages for Qin Lang."

Qin Lang laughed: "My sister gave them, so I'll really take them."

"Who's being fake with you?" Qin Xun gave the two cabbages to Qin Lang.

In the evening, Zhu Shi and Qin Lang ate dinner at the fourth branch. Qin Tan had returned to his post, and only Zhu Shi and Qin Lang remained in the Marquis Manor. The two families had a good relationship, and eating a meal together made the third and fourth branches even closer.

After eating, Qin Di took the cabbage and first went to the first branch, giving Qin Yan Hou two, and then went to give the Old Qin Yan Hou two.

As for the other branches, forget it. Weren't they sucking up to Qin He? Let Qin He give them spirit vegetables.

Now the Qin Yan Hou Manor was also a cultivation family. Although it had no foundation, it was improving very quickly. The first branch got two cabbages; Qin Yan Hou didn't care, but the Marchioness Qin Yan was thoughtful.

"I didn't expect the Rong Heir Apparent to be quite good to Qin Bi," the Marchioness Qin Yan said: "Our manor waited for so many years, and the Rong Heir Apparent never showed any indication. I thought the Rong Heir Apparent didn't want to take a woman from the Marquis Manor as his wife."

"The Rong Heir Apparent is cursed to have no wife and no children," Qin Yan Hou said: "Qin Bi gave birth to a child for him, so her status is naturally different."

The Marchioness Qin Yan sighed endlessly. Who could have thought that among the many young ladies of the Marquis Manor waiting to be married, the Rong Heir Apparent would end up marrying Qin Bi? And marrying her was one thing, but Qin Bi was not only unaffected by the Rong Heir Apparent's fate of having no wife and no children, but she even gave birth to a child. You really had to admire that.

Before, she had worried that Qin Bi was just a figurehead and that Rong Juan marrying Qin Bi would be of no help to the Marquis Manor.

The next day, early in the morning, the Qin Tang brothers took the children to the Rong Prince Manor. Qin Bi also wanted to go, so Rong Juan didn't go to court and accompanied his wife and child to the fief. After walking out of the teleportation array, everyone began to harvest the vegetables.

Digging up the cabbage one by one, the Qin family children were especially hardworking.

Not only were the Qin family children hardworking, but they were also very good to Rong Yang. Several children protected Rong Yang. Rong Juan glanced at them and let Rong Yang get close to the Qin family children. In the first life, one of the Qin family children became Qin Bi's child.

For Qin Bi, the Qin family children were different.

In the first life, Qin Bi married Jiang Mo. Thinking of this, Rong Juan stopped his train of thought, his eyes turning cold. Qin Bi even glanced at him. Rong Juan didn't show anything on his face and adjusted Qin Bi's cloak.

After loading a cart of vegetables, Rong Yang and his cousins went to sell the vegetables again.

In the bustling market of Jingcheng, Rong Yang hurried to the restaurant. The little Imperial Prince was already waiting there. This was a restaurant that cultivators often frequented, and it was bustling all day long. Someone saw the cabbage of such high quality and walked over to ask the price.

"How much for one?"

"Ten low-grade crystals per jin," the Qin family child said.

The burly man was stunned: "...... Spirit vegetables??!!!"

"Yes," the little Imperial Prince said, wearing beast-fur robes and looking noble.

The man didn't believe it, so he broke off a bit to taste it, and immediately his eyes lit up: "Move six for me."

The imperial guards moved the cabbage and weighed it: "One hundred jin."

"What?" The burly man leaned over to look, and upon seeing it: "It really is one hundred jin. These vegetables grew really well. Will you come again tomorrow? I'll come back to buy more if they taste good when I go back."

The little Imperial Prince waved his hand: "We're not coming anymore, not coming anymore."

Rong Yang looked at him: "I still have many vegetables."

Just as the little Imperial Prince was about to speak, the servant from the Minister of Revenue's manor ran over. Seeing that the vegetables on the cart were fewer, he was anxious. He had just arrived one step late, and several cabbages had already been sold.

"I want this whole cart," the servant said.

The imperial guards took a look and weighed it. The child earned 5,000 low-grade crystals for this cart of cabbage.

By the time the Minister of War rushed over, Rong Yang had already returned, and the little Imperial Prince was waiting there.
