Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

After a few days, the potato seedlings grew more and more vigorously under the watering of Xiao Wan's spiritual spring water, and they were fully mature in a few days.

During this period, Zhao Lizheng came to tell Xiao Wan that the workshop could be built on the east side of the village, two miles away from the Xiao family, on a large piece of unowned land, about three acres in total, and would cost a total of fifteen taels of silver.

Xiao Wan was very satisfied and asked the village head whether she could expand the building behind her house, as her family also wanted to build a new house.

The head of the village sighed and wondered if the Xiao family had really become rich, with a workshop and a new house. He told Xiao Wan that the land behind her house was ownerless and could be expanded. It was only about half an acre and could be bought for two taels of silver.

Xiao Wan was a decisive person. After discussing with her parents, she directly gave twenty taels of silver to the head of the village. Seventeen taels were for buying land. Xiao Wan said that the rest was for the head of the village to take care of the county government, and the rest was to thank the head of the village.

The head of the village secretly admired Xiao Wan's generosity and decisiveness, and thought that the Xiao family's wealth and honor might fall on Xiao Wan in the future. This little girl looked like someone who could accomplish things.

After taking the money, Zhao Lizheng and Xiao Laodi went to the county government office to handle the matter. Xiao Laoer's name was written on the land deeds and house deeds.

After deducting one tael of silver for the arrangements and travel expenses, there were still two taels left. The head of the village handed it to Old Man Xiao, but Old Man Xiao firmly refused. This was also what Xiao Wan had instructed.

When Zhao Lizheng returned home, his daughter-in-law, Yao, brought him tea. Zhao Lizheng praised Xiao Wan to his wife, Zheng. Zheng rolled her eyes at the old man and said with a smile, "Is she really that good? I used to see this little girl as introverted and stuffy."

Zhao Lizheng told Zheng about it, and Zheng was very surprised. The Xiao family could spend twenty taels of silver to buy land and build workshops and houses. This meant they were really rich.

Zhao Lizheng sighed, whoever marries this girl will surely enjoy a happy life in the future. Cheng Ge'er's age is a good match for Xiao Wan.

Before she finished speaking, daughter-in-law Yao looked at her mother-in-law nervously.

Zheng understood her thoughts and disagreed in her heart. No matter how outstanding he was, he would not be as good as her grandson who would become the top scholar and an official in the future. Xiao Wan, a peasant girl, was still far behind.

Looking at the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhao Lizheng had to give up the idea. His grandson's marriage was still up to his parents.

That day, Xiao Wan wanted to go to the town to order a colander, but her father had gone out to find a master who could build a workshop, and Liu's wouldn't let Xiao Wan go even if she went there herself.

Just when they were in trouble, Zhao Mingyuan came. He had a good hunting harvest today, so Fu sent him to deliver two pheasants and a rabbit to the Xiao family.

Zhao Mingyuan readily agreed. Fu's health had improved a lot during this period, and Liu would occasionally send Fu some food made by Xiao Wan, of course, all of which Xiao Wan would add spiritual spring water to.

Fu was able to walk around, get up to eat, and her complexion became more and more rosy. Zhao Mingyuan saw this and felt even more grateful to Xiao Wan.

Seeing Xiao Wan in a dilemma, Zhao Mingyuan said somewhat unnaturally: "I'm going to Yunkelai to sell something, how about you come with me?"

After hearing this, Xiao Wan's eyes lit up and she dozed off to get the pillow. This kid is so sensible!

Of course, Liu was relieved. After hearing from Xiao Lao Er that Yuan Ge'er was very skilled, she felt at ease with the two of them traveling together in broad daylight.

As for the differences between men and women, well, the customs of the Yuan Dynasty are relatively open, and it is common for men and women to travel together.

The two didn't communicate much along the way. Zhao Mingyuan was just nervous. He found that he didn't know when it started, but his heart beat faster and he blushed easily whenever he saw Xiao Wan. He didn't dare to speak much along the way.

Xiao Wan thought that Zhao Mingyuan was naturally cold and quiet, so she didn't take it to heart.

When Zhao Mingyuan saw that Xiao Wan didn't talk much, he thought she was very unfamiliar with him and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Xiao Wan first accompanied Zhao Mingyuan to Yunkelai. Yunkelai's business was very good. When Manager Liu saw her, he was so happy that he kept praising her. Duan Hongyi also came out at this time.

After greeting Xiao Wan, he asked Zhao Mingyuan to invite the two of them into the house for tea. Xiao Wan refused, saying that she wanted to find a blacksmith shop.

Duan Hongyi asked, and Xiao Wan did not hide it. She said that she wanted to build a workshop to process vermicelli, rice noodles, and potato flour, all of which can be used in cooking.

Duan Hongyi's eyes lit up after hearing this. He asked Xiao Wan to tell him in detail, as he was also very interested.

After Xiao Wan explained it, Duan Hongyi immediately made a decision, hoping that he could sell the products on Xiao Wan's behalf after processing. The Duan family also has a department store, and the recipes were also bought by Yunkelai, and Yunkelai's branches also needed to purchase the products.

Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Boss Duan, I won't sell this recipe, but if you buy my vermicelli, I'll give it to you for free."

Duan Hongyi was surprised that Xiao Wan didn't make money even though she had it. Xiao Wan smiled and said, "It's too early to tell now. I'll let Boss Duan be the first to taste the finished product."

Duan Hongyi's lips curled up when he heard this. He was already very suave, and his peach blossom eyes blinked. He fanned the air and stopped it in his palm. He was very happy with Xiao Wan's words.

Xiao Wan sighed that the poem she had read before describing an ancient man as handsome as Pan An was actually true. Even though Duan Hongyi was a businessman, he was also a Confucian businessman.

But when she turned around and glanced at Zhao Mingyuan, she still liked this type, with sword-like eyebrows that were neither thick nor thin, a nose as straight as a distant mountain, a dignified demeanor, and a very heroic spirit.

Zhao Mingyuan watched the two people talking from the side and felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart, especially when he saw them chatting and laughing. He subconsciously clenched his fists. It was only when Xiao Wan asked him to leave that he reacted.

What's wrong with you?

Duan Hongyi squinted his eyes and looked at the backs of the two people, unconsciously becoming curious about Zhao Mingyuan.
