Jingxue smiled, but her words were very serious: "The workshops on my and Qin Jing's estates have limited production capacity. If we build some workshops in the military village, I will charge a fee. It won't be much, but I won't give away the formula for free. Also, the products from my and Qin Jing's workshops will only be supplied to the capital. You can transport them to other places and avoid offsetting the sales. That should make everyone happy!"

Hearing Jingxue's words, Ye Muchen excitedly clenched his fist, "On behalf of the soldiers and their families, I thank you! Now the soldiers have no worries."

"Let's show those short-sighted civil officials that our soldiers can not only fight on the battlefield and protect our country, but also bring prosperity to our homeland!" Qin Jing said, leaning back on the armrests of his chair.

Jingxue was also somewhat influenced by Qin Jing's demeanor and started talking more.

"In fact, the stronger a country is, the stronger its military needs to be. We do not invade other countries, but we definitely have the ability to deter foreign aggression. As the saying goes, 'A great power has no weak military!'"

Ye Muchen nodded. The conversation he had with Jingxue today made him feel more comfortable than ever before.

"Jingxue, if you have the chance, I invite you to visit the military village and give us your suggestions!"

“Great! Can I ride a horse?” Jingxue was also a little excited. In modern times, she had only ridden once, when her father took her to his friend’s club. Because she was not familiar with it, she didn’t ride freely. She really liked the feeling of galloping on horseback in the movies.

"Of course! I can give you a fine horse suitable for a woman to ride!" Ye Muchen finally had a chance to show off his skills in front of Jingxue, and said cheerfully.

“Okay! It’s a deal!” Jingxue reached out and gave Ye Muchen a high five.

Qin Jing: This couple is a bit of a show-off, but they're actually quite well-matched!

"Alright, alright! It's getting late, you should all get some rest! I'm leaving!" Qin Jing stood up. He had to be tactful to maintain such a pleasant atmosphere.

When it came to settling down, Ye Muchen immediately wilted. There was no way he could stay at Jingxue's place. Jingxue wasn't the type of parent who spoiled children. They had finally gotten along so well, and he didn't want to upset her.

So he stood up and said, "I'm not sleepy yet, Xiao Jing. I'll go with you to your estate, and we can have a good chat!"

Qin Jing: Isn't this inappropriate?

He looked at Jingxue, who didn't seem surprised at all. She stood up and said, "See you tomorrow!"

Okay! He admits it!

"Sister-in-law, we'll come over for breakfast tomorrow morning!"

Jingxue gave an OK sign. Qin Jing had known Jingxue for so long that he knew what it meant, so he walked out satisfied.

After leaving the courtyard, Gao Chi and Qin Jing's servant walked behind. Ye Muchen asked Qin Jing, "What did Jingxue's last gesture mean?"

Qin Jing secretly rolled her eyes and said, "That's 'ok,' which means 'okay.' All the kids in my cousin's yard know that, don't you?"

Ye Muchen pouted; he really didn't know!

I'm a little depressed!

Qin Jing suddenly leaned close to Ye Muchen's ear and whispered, "Cousin, why don't you sleep with your wife? Don't tell me you two haven't done 'that' yet?"

"Get lost! It's none of your business!" Ye Muchen shoved Qin Jing hard.

Qin Jing laughed heartily and ran away following Ye Muchen's lead.

Jingxue went to check on the children. Lidong had helped the wet nurse wash the children and they had already gone to bed.

Once inside the space, Jingxue remembered something: why didn't Yuan Jin and Li Quan mention Shadow A and his group?

I'll try to talk to them alone tomorrow.

It was almost the end of the month, and the villagers were demanding grain as payment for their work. Forty or fifty more people had come, and it was unclear how much grain they had left from last time. The warehouse was not far away, so Jingxue used her special ability to go and check, and indeed, there wasn't much left.

This time, the warehouse was filled to the brim. Not only grain, but also more than 20 bags of potatoes, five bags of vermicelli, and more than a dozen baskets of eggs, enough to last until the New Year. Dried vegetables such as cabbage, radishes, and wood ear mushrooms were also packed in.

I've revoked the superpowers, noted the quantity, and will have them deposited into their accounts tomorrow.

Jingxue continued browsing the space mall and noticed a small red dot on the screen, which meant that there were new products. She clearly remembered that there weren't any just now. Could it be because of the grains and potatoes she had just bought?

Jingxue clicked in and took a look, and found it funny. A new smart radio had been added, which looked like a silly little penguin.

Jingxue checked the inventory and found only two hundred. What did that mean? Couldn't they be sold yet?

Then I can only give it away as a gift. It costs 200 coins each, so I bought one.

Holding it in my hand, there's a small label on it that says, "My name is Xiaomeng."

Jingxue said, "Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng, give us a crosstalk performance!"

Immediately, Teacher Guo's voice came from inside: "Teacher Yu's son, Guo Xiaobao."

There was also laughter from the audience. "Don't laugh, everyone. The baby was born, and I rushed back to say, let's give the baby a surname!"

Teacher Yu: "Give me a break!"

Jingxue felt incredibly warm and familiar with the song. "Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng, let's change the song."

"Wind, travel slowly across the wilderness, I tell you in silence that I am drunk, in the night of Ulaanbaatar..."

Jingxue fell asleep to the sound of singing that night!

The next morning, Lidong came over to help Jingxue wash up. "Lidong, what time of September is it today?"

"Miss, today is the twenty-seven!"

"Oh! Jingze and An'an have to start school in three days!"

"Miss, there's no 30 this month!"

"Huh?" Jingxue didn't quite understand the lunar calendar. So that means there are only two days left. She still has to go to the palace on the 29th, the day of Xiaoman!

The shopkeeper needs to pay wages soon, so it looks like I'll be heading back to the city tomorrow. I need to get everything done today.

Ye Muchen and Qin Jing came over for breakfast together. Qin Jing said he would go back to the city after he finished eating.

After seeing Qin Jing off, Ye Muchen said he was going to visit Yangshu Village because his estate was there. He asked Jingxue to come with him, and Jingxue agreed, but she needed to talk to Steward Yuan about something first.

Jingxue called Steward Yuan to a room alone and took out the grain bill from the previous night, asking him to enter it into the account.

"Uncle Yuan, there's something I forgot to ask you yesterday: what were your arrangements when Shadow A and the others came over?"

“Young Miss, Shadow A and his men left eight people in the shops in the city, two in the Prince’s manor, and ten from the estate. Two of these ten are servants who have been sent to the greenhouse to keep watch at night, which others do not know. The rest are mixed in with the servants. Shadow A told me that he wants to secretly investigate these servants to see if there is a traitor among them, since it was the groom who exposed the Prince!” Steward Yuan replied.

Jingxue was surprised by how loyal and responsible these people were. She didn't need to talk to them anymore, since it hadn't been long and they would naturally report to her if they made any discoveries.
