Chapter 204: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 204: Moving into a New Home, Xin'er Faints (4)
But what did this have to do with her?
She didn't know medicine, nor could she cure illnesses. Even the Spirit Spring water was not some miraculous elixir that could cure the dying person. In her previous life, reaching the fifth level in space, frequent consumption only kept one young and extended their lifespan.
This merit was not meant for her.
When Chu Heng saw Mo Yan, he felt slightly disappointed. He had thought that a woman who could make Hanzhang compromise would be an extraordinary beauty, but upon seeing her, she was just an ordinary girl at best, with a somewhat acceptable appearance.
Moreover, the capital was not lacking in beautiful women.
However, since she was able to tame Xiao Hua, make red python obedient, and even make Hanzhang unable to refuse her requests, there must be something extraordinary about her. If Hanzhang truly had feelings for her, he could take her into his household in the future. Although she had a humble background, what did it matter to Hanzhang?
If Mo Yan knew what he was thinking, even though she was wary of his status, she would mentally scoff at him. Fortunately, she didn't know, so when she ate many delicious dishes she had never tasted before during the meal, her mood was exceptionally good, and she ate a lot.
Xiao Ruiyuan silently noted down the dishes she liked the most and secretly planned to procure them from the places they were produced.
After eating and drinking their fill, the sun had already set. Mo Yan bid farewell with Xiao Hua and Xiao Ruiyuan, and after saying goodbye to Chu Heng, she returned to the city with him.
The journey was silent, and by the time they returned to the city, it was completely dark.
"Lord Xiao, goodbye."
When they parted at the city gate, Mo Yan leaned out of the carriage window to bid farewell to Xiao Ruiyuan.
In the dark night, Xiao Ruiyuan stared intently at the small head sticking out of the carriage window, unable to discern the expression on her face. His thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end... he said nothing, and then... he directly urged his horse and rode away... rode away...
Mo Yan felt a bit annoyed and withdrew her head, feeling sulky. She absentmindedly pulled at Xiao Hua's fur, causing it to whimper.
"Wuwu..."
Accidentally pulling too hard, Xiao Hua grimaced in pain, its pitiful cries bringing Mo Yan back to her senses.
Mo Yan quickly let go of her hand, apologized for the pain she caused, but felt annoyed with herself.
Next time she saw that inconsistent guy, she definitely wouldn't take the initiative to speak.
With red python's matter resolved, Mo Yan felt empty again. Apart from teaching Zhen'er to read and write at home, she would occasionally go to the carpentry shop to provide new ideas, allowing the craftsmen to create new designs and add them to their portfolio for customers to choose from.
After the carpentry shop launched two new styles of furniture in a row, they received much love from customers, and business was better than ever before. When they balanced their books at the end of the month, they found that they had earned twenty percent more silver than before. It had only been half a month since they started selling the new style of furniture!
The carpentry shop's business was booming, which made the shopkeeper who had decided to bring Mo Yan on board very proud.
In just two days, the shopkeeper gave Mo Yan a third of the profits for the month, which amounted to twenty taels. If this continued for the entire month, it would be at least forty taels.
With twenty taels of silver in hand, Mo Yan went on a shopping spree, buying gifts for everyone in her family.
For Mo Qingze, she bought a collection of essays published by a famous writer from Da Chu. For Xin'er, she bought a complete set of embroidery frames. For Zhen'er, she bought a set of scholar's stationery. For Li Zhong, she bought a complete set of purple clay tea sets. For Li Xiu, she also bought a complete set of embroidery frames. Li Yan didn't have any special preferences, so she bought her a pair of silver jewelry.
Twenty taels of silver still had considerable purchasing power. After buying these things, she still had more than two taels left, so Mo Yan bought all the buns from the bun shop and distributed them to the beggars nearby, accumulating virtue for her family.
