When Hao Lianxin heard the servant's words, she stopped feeding the pigs.

Wan Ning said hurriedly: "Sister Lianxin, go and do your work. I will stay here for a while. I haven't fed the fish enough yet."

Hao Lianxin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go over there."

After everyone left, only Wan Ning and Chun Hua were left at the scene.

After feeding them for a while, Wan Ning put the food down and said, "Tsk tsk, look at these little things, they are eating so happily."

Chunhua, who was standing by, also watched with great interest: "Girl, they are living so well."

Wan Ning turned to look at Chun Hua and nodded, "Yes, they are living well."

As for Hao Lianxin, she went to the hall and saw the person coming. She looked at him carefully and he seemed familiar.

Chu Shengchen directly revealed his identity, which reminded Hao Lian that they had actually met for a period of time when they were young. However, with her mother's strict education, she no longer had free time.

This time, Chu Shengchen came to pay his respects because, after going back to investigate, he suddenly discovered that the owner of the manor was someone he knew in childhood. After thinking about it, he came to pay his respects.

With a common topic, the relationship between the two became much closer.

After staying in the villa for nearly an hour, Chu Shengchen said goodbye and left.

When they were the only ones left in the hall, the maid behind Hao Lianxin smiled and said, "Miss, it turns out that this guy is a general?"

"Yes, who would have thought that he would become a general guarding the border!"

Hao Lianxin was stunned for a while. She envied the boy who had vowed to become a general when he was a child. Now he has realized his dream and really become a general.

Chu Shengchen walked out of the manor, holding the horse in his hand and walking for a while. When he was far away from the manor, he stopped and looked back.

"This rain is so good!"

Soon he jumped on his horse again and rode to Ye City.

********

That evening, Hao Lianxin invited Wan Ning to have dinner at the waterside pavilion.

Burn mugwort around to repel mosquitoes, let down the gauze curtains, light an oil lamp on the table, listen to the cicadas and frogs outside, and taste delicious food. It feels pretty good.

Wan Ning was eating a piece of soft stewed chicken when he heard Hao Lianxin muttering to herself across from him: "Tell me, what else can I do?"

"Hmm?" Wan Ning waited until he had finished eating before speaking seriously: "Sister Lianxin, are you bored?"

Hao Lianxin smiled and said, "Yes, I only have some farms under my name, so I don't have to worry about them. Apart from reading books and appreciating flowers, it seems a bit too monotonous."

Wan Ning thought about it and suggested, "What about doing business? Sister Lianxin, do you have any plans?"

"When you say business, do you mean like those shops on the street?"

"Yes, do what you are interested in. My suggestion is that you should start with something you are familiar with or have connections with."

Hao Lianxin shook her head: "No, my family will definitely know."

She didn't want to think about her own affairs, but her mother interfered with her affairs in a strong way.

Wan Ning nodded: "Oh, that depends on what you mean."

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully when I get back."

The two of them continued eating. There was still some food left, so they asked the maids present to take it away and heat it up.

A few days later, Hao Lianxin asked Wan Ning to come over and give her some advice.

Wan Ning saw that she took out three pieces of paper, with an industry written on each piece of paper: rouge and powder, cloth, and grain.

After carefully reading it, Wan Ning looked up and asked, "Sister Lianxin, do you have a craftsman who can make rouge and powder?"

She smiled and pointed at herself: "Me!"

"Ah, you can actually do this?"

Wan Ning was so surprised, she had this skill?

Hao Lianxin nodded: "Well, when I was in the mansion before, I secretly made some when I had free time, but I never used it."

"After that, I went to the palace and had plenty of time. I practiced often."

Seeing Wan Ning's surprise, Hao Lianxin smiled. She looked at her maid and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Shui Qing and Shui Hua."

The two maids also spoke up in time: "Miss Su, you don't know that the rouge made by our lady herself has beautiful colors."

"Not only is the color unusual, but the smell is also delicious. However, after our girl made it, she only let the two of us try it, and all the others were destroyed."

Shuihua said this while looking at his girl.

Wan Ning also looked at Hao Lianxin: "Sister Lianxin, why don't you keep it for yourself? It would be a pity to destroy it."

Hao Lianxin smiled faintly: "Those women have nothing to do all day long but stare at men and their makeup. If someone puts something different on their face, the others will dig deep to find out the reason."

"If you don't tell them, they will think you want to keep it for yourself and use it to seduce others. Really, people who are annoyed will be in a restless mood."

Hearing Hao Lianxin's words, Wan Ning gave a thumbs up: "Sister Lianxin, I really admire you more and more."

She has a sharp mind, is open-minded, looks generous, and has a cheerful personality. Well, she is truly the representative of the ladies from ancient times.

"Sister Lianxin, since the rouge business is OK, I think your cloth business is also OK."

Hao Lianxin nodded: "Well, go on."

So Wan Ning continued, "Because women always like new and beautiful things.

They use rouge and powder frequently, and buy cloth to make new clothes frequently, so you can always make money by dealing with them."

But Wan Ning frowned immediately: "This food, I don't understand why you listed it?"

Hearing Wan Ning's conversation, Hao Lianxin smiled: "I didn't expect that you, a small person, have so much experience."

Then she nodded: "Yes, I have considered doing the grain business. I want to be the one in the middle."

What Hao Lianxin meant was that she was just transferring the item instead of keeping it in her hand.

Because she had just heard from Chu Shengchen, who had returned from the border town a few days ago, that food has always been in short supply there.

Because of the climate and terrain in the northwest, coupled with frequent wars, crops basically did not grow to maturity. Sometimes the army was short of food, so they would sell the food at a high price and wait for the court to replenish it.

However, Hao Lianxin did not tell Wan Ning about this reason.

"No, I just thought of some things and listed them out for consideration."

Wan Ning looked at Hao Lianxin: "Well, okay, but no matter what Sister Lianxin does, I will support her and provide free labor."

As he spoke, Wan Ning raised his arms to show that he still had the strength to work.

Hao Lianxin smiled and shook her head: "You, okay, I will definitely ask you for help when the time comes."

However, before Wan Ning could help, he received a letter from home.

The letter was delivered by someone else, and the person who delivered the letter was Ling Hao's servant, whom he had met twice before.

"Miss Su, our Marquis said that there are several courtyards in the capital that are for sale. He will have someone send the blueprints over for you to review."
