FID – Chapter 612

Chapter 612: I Was Just Joking

In fact, it wasn’t just them who hadn’t thought of it; even the wealthy merchants in the upper circles of Nanling had never considered selling goods beyond the borders.

In terms of business, Nanling was actually at a disadvantage compared to other countries.

There was nothing in the country that stood out and could attract people from other nations.

In the past, this wasn’t something that no one had tried before, but every time goods were shipped out, the result was always a total loss.

They couldn’t compete. But this time, Qian Wanjin was confident.

The products that came from Nannan’s hands were top-tier even on the entire continent, within the same industry.

No one else could compare!

If the products were good, it meant a strong competitive advantage, and with a strong competitive advantage, it meant they could capture a market.

Hugging Shi Xianrou, Qian Wanjin laughed and shouted, as he could already foresee that in the future, the health series from Xinghua Village would become a sensation across the entire continent!

That would be the true legend!

And he would also be one of the creators of this legend!

Inspired by Qian Wanjin’s joy, Shi Xianrou and Liu Yusheng both smiled.

“Nannan, your vision is really spot on,” Shi Xianrou marveled.

“Draw a big picture, and then go and make it happen. Isn’t that a great sense of accomplishment?”

“You’re not someone with big ambitions. In the end, it’s still for Feng Qingbo.”

“Aren’t you the same?”

They were both people who valued emotions above all else.

Love, friendship, family.

They valued these over any profit.

The two exchanged a smile once again. That’s why they, among others, could become close friends. Because they were fundamentally the same kind of people.

When Liu Muqiu returned, she found the three of them acting crazily and was completely confused.

“What on earth are you guys doing?”

“Nothing much, just celebrating a great cause,” Liu Yusheng winked at her. “Little White Lotus, do you have a dream?”

“Dream?” Liu Muqiu walked over and sat down, the confusion in her eyes growing deeper. “What dream can a woman have? Marry a good husband, have a few children, manage the household—aren’t those all there is?”

She knew that she was like this, but Nannan and Xianrou were different from her.

They were both extremely special people.

Xianrou had followed her father in the military, fought in battles, so she had the boldness and freedom of a man. As long as there was an order from the military, if they needed her, she could immediately mount a horse and rush to the battlefield.

As for Nannan, she possessed extraordinary medical skills. The nourishing wines and teas brewed by her hand, flowing out of a small winery, had already become a sensation in Nanling. If she wanted to, she could go even higher.

But as for herself, she didn’t have any big dreams. What she wanted most was just a home of her own.

Now, her dream could be considered fulfilled.

She had the Liu family, and she had become a part of the Liu family.

She had the warmth she had always longed for.

“Don’t ask anymore. If Little White Lotus has any other dreams, there’s only one left—marrying Liu Zhiqiu.”

“Pfft, that’s true.”

Liu Muqiu covered her face. “Why do you always tease me? There’s nothing shameful about it. I have great taste in people!”

Liu Zhiqiu is the best!

“Yes, yes, yes, just say Zhiqiu is the best. No need to talk about your taste. You’re still acting all reserved in front of us.”

“Little White Lotus, being too reserved won’t work. Liu Zhiqiu is a blockhead, you know? If you want him to get on your boat, you have to put in some effort. There are still two other women eyeing him in the outer court. Hurry up and deal with them.” Qian Wanjin also joked, “I’ll help you out by speaking highly of you in front of Zhiqiu. Let him hear about you even when he can’t see you. One day, you’ll get your handsome man!”

“Young Master, then it’s a deal—Zhiqiu’s side is up to you.”

“…I was just joking.”

“I’m serious.”

“Hahaha!” The three of them laughed so hard they pounded the table.

If you can’t find any fun while staying in the Liu courtyard, just mention Liu Zhiqiu to tease Liu Muqiu, and you’ll be sure to laugh until your stomach cramps.

The two Yang sisters were walking in and heard the laughter from inside before they even entered the inner courtyard.

They exchanged a glance, lifted their skirts, and walked in.

What greeted them was a small courtyard with a very unique decoration.

Unlike the simple, ordinary exterior, this place exuded a youthful vibe, with a kind of charm that was hard to describe.

Although the courtyard wasn’t large, it was filled with many beautiful potted plants. On both sides, small artificial hills were built using strange rocks, and in the corners of the courtyard, bamboo, peach trees, and plum trees had been newly planted.

Further inside the courtyard was a set of stone-made tables and chairs. Placed in this small courtyard, surrounded by the decorations, it was truly elegant.

Even the air here seemed to carry an indescribable subtle fragrance.

This was the life that a true young lady of a wealthy family should have.

The two elders of the Liu family were so generous to Liu Yusheng.

“Nannan, what are you two chatting about so happily?” Yang Shuqing walked over, her gaze gently sweeping past Liu Muqiu and landing on Liu Yusheng’s face.

Seeing that the two had entered the inner courtyard, the laughter from the others stopped, and their eyes showed displeasure as they looked at the two women.

“We’re just chatting casually. Why did you come over? Where are Aunt and your mother?” Liu Yusheng said calmly.

“They were talking with the elders, and didn’t want us to be around. We didn’t know anyone else here, so we thought we’d come see you.” Yang Shuqing found a stool beside the stone table and sat down. Her gaze swept across the entire courtyard. “I didn’t expect this small courtyard to be so unique. Just building this courtyard must have cost quite a bit of money, right? Nannan, you really are living like a young lady of a wealthy family now. It’s truly enviable.”

Liu Yusheng smiled and didn’t answer her question.

Instead, it was Qian Wanjin, resting his chin on one hand, who spoke. “It really did cost quite a bit of money. When we first built this little courtyard, I personally selected everything inside. 

Just the stones for those two artificial hills, along with the transportation fees, cost over five hundred taels. And these potted plants on either side were also specially chosen by me and Zhiqiu. Each pot contains rare trees and flowers, valued around a hundred taels each.”

He didn’t say much more, but just mentioning these two items was enough to leave the two women who had intruded wide-eyed and speechless. 

They stammered, “W-wait, the stones for the artificial hills alone cost five hundred taels? And each pot of flowers costs a hundred taels?!”

“Of course. How else could it match Nannan’s status? Do you know what Nannan does? She’s a Little Divine Doctor, the young boss of the winery, and also, Lady Ruyi.”

Leaving aside the other two identities, just the title of Ruyi County Lady was enough to make the two women from the Yang family blush.

Just now, Yang Shuqing’s praise was laced with a hint of sourness, but only she couldn’t detect it.

Qian Wanjin lowered his gaze and coldly curled the corner of his lips. Was she comparing their Nannan to herself? Was she even worthy?

Their Nannan had status—she was a County Lady personally bestowed by the emperor. 

Even if her rank wasn’t high, it wasn’t something an ordinary young lady could compare to, let alone two village girls!

It was only at this moment that Yang Shuqing and Yang Shuyu realized that the young woman sitting beside them, with her gentle smile and relaxed expression, had an identity that was leagues apart from theirs.

Even though they were both born in rural families, she was no longer on the same level as them.
