Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Oh, you are here. If you don't come, we will go and invite you."

As soon as she got off the car, Du Wenchan teased.

Yue Niang was puzzled: "Why? Could it be that you miss me so much after not seeing me for a day? Are you also coveting my beauty like that poor scholar?"

Several people laughed out loud, and A Luo laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He held his stomach with one hand and tried to pull her with the other:

"You are so good, Yue Niang. You have only been back for a few days and you have been admired by scholars. Why don't you bring her to us so that we can take a look at her?"

Yue Niang naturally refused to give in. She broke away from A Luo with a smile on her face, and ran to the bedroom holding the quilt.

Several ladies joined in, and with Du Wenchan's presence cleaning the place every two days, the place was quickly cleaned up.

"You haven't bought firewood yet, so you should go home and eat for the next few days. Once the workshop is up and running, you can start the fire."

Du Wenxiu said to Yue Niang.

Yue Niang thought about it and decided that it would be better to shamelessly go to Du Wenxiu for food and drinks instead of wasting the money on firewood since she was alone.

He said this to Du Wenxiu, and was beaten by her again.

A Luo hurried forward to stop her: "She's still pregnant, so you have to be careful."

The two of them then gave up and walked slowly towards home.

When they got home, Du Wenxiu closed the gate and then told Yue Niang about Wang Dongchang's visit.

"He really sent someone the next day, but that person said that his official identity was the young master of Zang Ya Xuan, a newly opened restaurant in the east of the city. He wanted to do business with us so that he would not arouse suspicion when delivering letters in the future."

"I thought that since it was just a show, it wouldn't be too complicated, so I didn't tell you."

"Who would have thought that the terms and conditions listed here would be even more detailed than the contracts we normally read, making them look like the real thing."

"When we finally reached an agreement and he paid the deposit, I realized that he was serious about doing business with us. He even sent me samples for tasting."

"Look, the order for goods will be delivered in the next two days. It is said that there are business opportunities all over the country, and we want to do business together."

Yue Niang laughed out loud when she heard this. She never expected that while she was away for a few days, such a smart man like Du Wenxiu would have caused such a big mistake.

"They say that pregnancy will make a baby stupid for three years, and that's you." She laughed so hard that she stamped her feet.

Du Wenxiu smiled bitterly and said, "How could I know that he really wanted to do business with us under the banner of doing business? I thought it was just a decoy."

Ever since Lu Fanghai joined the army, Du Wenxiu has been worried about him every day. Now he is just worried and distracted, so he has never thought about it.

"It's okay. He has placed an order. We will load and deliver the goods we have. If we don't have any, we will just rush to make them. Mrs. Wang Shun—that is, Madam Chi—has taken over. I believe she can do a good job."

Yue Niang comforted her softly, and Du Wenxiu smiled and nodded: "I believe you, but I am just laughing at my own confusion."

Yue Niang just smiled and said nothing.

Du Wenxiu added, "That young master is very serious about his work. I'm afraid you will have to deal with him a lot in the future. You need to be more careful about everything and don't let others find fault with you."

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, I heard from A'Luo that you eat a lot now, so you should walk around more when you have nothing to do, otherwise the baby will be too big and difficult to give birth, and you will suffer."

Du Wenxiu looked at her jokingly, but she rolled her eyes in response.

"Although I haven't given birth to a child myself, I helped boil water for my sister-in-law when she gave birth. Speaking of this, you may not understand it as well as I do."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Du Wenxiu pushed her with a smile, and the two of them walked into the main room and sat down.

Du Wenxiu took the sample list and gave it to Yue Niang. Yue Niang looked at it for a while and said with a smile:

"That's not bad. This is their first order, so they must not want much. What we have prepared now should be enough. If it sells well, we can finish a batch in seven or eight days. Besides, we are already making some."

Du Wenxiu nodded gently and instructed: "Why don't we make an appointment with the young master tomorrow to test the waters. Don't let the two of us take it for granted and not be able to produce the goods when they ask for them."

"You are absolutely right." Doing this is responsible for myself and the other party. Since I am going to do it, I will do it well. Yue Niang nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Du Wenxiu asked A Luo to run a trip to tell the young master about this and arrange a meeting in the afternoon or tomorrow.

The young master was also straightforward. He said frankly that he had to meet with the shop owners near Dongxing County in the afternoon and was busy, so he made an appointment to meet on the second floor of Zang Yaxuan tomorrow morning to discuss the matter.

After the serious business was settled, I thought of some trivial matters.

Du Wenxiu lowered his voice and told Yue Niang that Mrs. Jiao had come some time ago, which scared her.

Yue Niang opened her eyes wide, covered her open mouth with her hand, and whispered:

"No wonder you didn't let me run back and forth. A few days ago, I heard from the people in the workshop that someone was killed in a nearby village, leaving behind an orphan and a widow who looked so pitiful. It turned out to be her family."

Du Wenxiu nodded and said, "You were running back and forth between the city and the village a lot during those days, and the roads were too dangerous. I was afraid that if I explained it too clearly, it would scare you, so I asked you to finish your business before coming back."

"That's right. It's too scary. But this will make our sister suffer." Yue Niang looked out the window worriedly. Du Wenchan was fetching water to wash clothes at that moment.

Du Wenxiu smiled slightly and pulled Yue Niang.

She hurriedly leaned over, and Du Wenxiu gently told Yue Niang about Lu Dawei's matter.

"Oh, there is such a thing. You kept it a secret so well that I didn't hear anything about it."

Du Wenxiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Why make it known to everyone when it's not even counted yet?"

Yue Niang refused and insisted that Du Wenxiu treated her as an outsider. After a long fuss, she finally stopped after Du Wenxiu apologized and begged for mercy.

"Besides, even if he is interested, our sister still has three years of mourning to go. We can't be careless about this and let someone catch us wrong."

Yue Niang nodded and agreed: "That's right, not to mention he..."

He leaned forward again and lowered his voice: "If Prince Ning succeeds, he will have to be an official. By then, our sister will be the official's wife. We dare not leave room for criticism over these trivial matters."

Du Wenxiu thought that what she said was absolutely right, and he thought so too.

Since we had nothing to do in the afternoon, we decided to go to the street to buy New Year's goods together.

"This time, we have to have a prosperous New Year." Du Wenxiu said with a smile.

Yue Niang also smiled and said that she would buy a few firecrackers and set them off to get rid of the bad luck on her body.

"Old Li, who used to work with Qiu Yong to deliver goods, said that as long as I am still willing to use them to transport goods, he will work with me, and the boss will only recognize us in the future."

As long as there are no problems with the workshop and the delivery, her divorce will end smoothly, and Yue Niang is very relieved.

Du Wenxiu was relieved, but he asked her to make a list of shops.

I was also thinking that when Lu Fanghai came back, I would ask him to follow Lao Li and the others to visit each of the shops that sold goods.

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Even if you don’t do it yourself, you must know what it is doing.

As for the rest, it depends on what the young master says tomorrow.
