Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

The first rays of morning sunlight awakened Sheng Yuan and Lin Nan.

After finishing their breakfast, the two took an oxcart from the village to the county town.

Upon arriving in the county town, Sheng Yuan took Lin Nan to the largest pharmacy in the area.

"Do you buy medicinal herbs here?" Sheng Yuan asked the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

The shopkeeper, seeing that the two were dressed in very ordinary clothes, casually replied while doing some calculations, "We'll take them, but we need to see what kind of medicinal herbs they are."

Sheng Yuan pulled out an exquisite wooden box from somewhere and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper reached out and opened the wooden box with a suspicious look on his face.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a precious, century-old wild ginseng.

"I wonder what price this young master is willing to pay?"

"My family is struggling financially, and we have no choice but to sell our only precious century-old wild ginseng. The shopkeeper seems kind, so I don't think he would cheat two honest people like us. In your opinion, what is the value of this century-old wild ginseng?"

"Four hundred taels of gold, which is four thousand taels of silver, what do you think?"

The shopkeeper actually thought the wild ginseng was of very high quality and should be worth more, but the pharmacy only had so much silver on hand. And if he remembered correctly, the magistrate was looking for century-old ginseng, so he could send it over. The magistrate was from a prominent family and probably wouldn't be stingy; it would also do him a favor.

Sheng Yuan obtained the prices of goods here from Nuonuo.

The prices weren't too different. He originally thought of giving it directly to the county magistrate, but that would be too deliberate, so he chose the largest clinic in the area, which also had connections.

"Okay." Sheng Yuan nodded.

"Please wait a moment while I go get the silver," the shopkeeper said before heading to the backyard.

"Husband, is it really okay to sell this century-old wild ginseng?" Lin Nan was shocked to hear Sheng Yuan and the shopkeeper's conversation; he had never heard of so much money before.

Sheng Yuan patted his head and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem."

There are many wild ginsengs like this in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, some are not only a hundred years old, but also a thousand years old and ten thousand years old.

The shopkeeper took out three thousand nine hundred and fifty taels of silver notes and fifty taels of loose silver.

That's really thoughtful.

After taking the silver, Sheng Yuan hid it and immediately took Lin Nan to a restaurant.

Go to the biggest restaurant in the county town.

Lin Nan felt a little awkward as Sheng Yuan led him into the restaurant.

"What would you two gentlemen like to eat?" The waiter enthusiastically led them to a quiet corner.

Sheng Yuan ordered a few dishes according to Lin Nan's habits.

The original owner used to eat at this restaurant, but only once or twice.

"...Husband, this place looks expensive." Lin Nan felt it was a bit wasteful; actually, a small restaurant could provide a full meal.

“I plan to buy back my mother’s shop and turn it into a restaurant. We’ll try their cooking first and get a better understanding of their skills.”

Seeing her husband say this, Lin Nan shut up.

My husband clearly has his own reasons; I shouldn't have said anything.

"Nanbao was right to remind me. It was thanks to Nanbao's reminder that I didn't lose myself," Shengyuan said, placing his hand on Nanbao's.

Lin Nan smiled and nodded.

"Oh! It really is Brother He!"

A slightly surprised voice rang out.

Looking up from a distance, I saw a man wearing a faded, washed-out long robe.

[Host, this is Li Jiang, He Zhao's classmate. On the surface, he's a lackey of Wei Xing, the county magistrate's son, but in reality, he's both resentful of the rich and extremely arrogant—a hypocrite! He's the one who encouraged the original owner to offer the official to Wei Xing!]

Nuonuo said indignantly.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, as if he wanted to drag this person down to hell.

"...Husband?" Lin Nan noticed that something was wrong with her husband and spoke up.

Lin Nan's voice brought Sheng Yuan back to his senses. Sheng Yuan grasped his hand, rubbed it, and said, "It's alright."

"What is it?" Sheng Yuan looked up at Li Jiang, his expression completely devoid of the gentleness he showed Lin Nan, only coldness.

Li Jiang was intimidated by his aura, but only for a moment. In his mind, He Zhao was like him, a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, and a sycophant.

Li Jiang sat down at Sheng Yuan's table and said, "Brother He, have you gotten married after a few days? Why didn't you tell me? You don't consider me a friend!"

The original owner always regarded Li Jiang as a good friend, and even as a roommate living in the same dormitory.

Moreover, the original owner always thought that Li Jiang was poorer and had worse grades than him, so he was willing to become friends with him and accept his admiration.

But in reality, Li Jiang's family background was similar to his own. The reason he always wore a faded white long gown was just to pretend to be poor and weak so he could get things for free.

"Are we that close?"

"Brother He, that's not right. We're still roommates!"

"That won't be the case anymore. Leave if you have nothing else to do."

"Brother He, what does this mean?"

"When people are being foolish, they may simply believe certain people, but that doesn't mean they won't eventually come to their senses."

Sheng Yuan's eyes stared straight at him, as if he could see right through him.

Li Jiang felt inexplicably terrified, then came to his senses and felt indignant: "Brother He, what you're saying is going too far!"

“If Wei Xing knew you had said that about him…” Sheng Yuan hadn’t finished speaking when Li Jiang quickly interrupted him: “Brother He, you’ve disregarded our friendship as classmates, so I have nothing more to say!” He then left, heartbroken.

Lin Nan could tell that her husband was annoyed by this person, so she reached out and smoothed his furrowed brow: "Don't be angry."

"Hmm. Don't be angry." Sheng Yuan held his hand and said, "You can't be too close to hypocritical people."

"Okay." Lin Nan made a note of it.

The two of them couldn't eat much. Lin Nan tasted each dish carefully, but it wasn't appropriate to comment in the restaurant. She silently wrote down her thoughts, intending to tell her husband when they got back.

The next step is to rent a place and buy people from a brokerage firm.

The broker led them to several courtyards, and finally chose a spacious courtyard that was relatively close to the academy and had a well.

Sheng Yuan didn't plan to stay here for too long, so he listened to Lin Nan and chose to rent a place.

Renting a house is like buying a person.

Sheng Yuan selected three nannies, a steward, and a coachman.

There were three nannies: one to cook and two to clean.

Lin Nan also chose a literate page for Sheng Yuan.

They went to the horse shop and picked out a relatively gentle horse, which they then harnessed to the carriage.

Shengyuan instructed the three nannies to go back and clean, and the steward to go shopping. Then he led people to the shop where Mother He used to live.

The shop is small, but there is a restaurant for sale next to it.

Shengyuan bought the restaurant for two hundred taels of silver and took back the shop for eighty taels.

The original owner's parents refused to sell the shop until their deaths, saying they wanted to keep it as a dowry for their daughter-in-law. The whole village knew this, which was one of the reasons why the Lin family's Li family agreed to the engagement.

Sheng Yuan saw that the shop was being managed fairly well by the couple, but they were having some cash flow problems, and the two seemed worried and tired. So Sheng Yuan let them continue managing the shop, but registered it under Lin Nan's name.

The restaurant was, of course, also under Lin Nan's name.

[Ding! Target's happiness level: 30%]

Lin Nan looked at the two contracts, his hands trembling slightly.

He had heard Li and Lin Qiaoqiao say that as long as Lin Qiaoqiao married into the He family, she would get a shop.

This is the betrothal gift that He's parents gave to their daughter-in-law.

Now that it's registered under my own name, does that mean I've gained the recognition of Mr. and Mrs. He?

"Are you so happy you've gone mad?" Sheng Yuan asked, looking at his son-in-law who was staring at the two pieces of paper with a silly grin.

Lin Nan looked up, her smile undisguised, brightly striking Sheng Yuan's heart.

Sheng Yuan cupped his face and said, "These are my betrothal gifts for my husband. Although they are still very little, believe me, there will be more in the future. Our Nanbao deserves the best in the world."

"This is good enough. I already have so much since I met my husband!"

[Ding! Target's affection level: 50%]

"But I don't know how to run a business!" Lin Nan said, regaining his composure after his initial excitement.

Sheng Yuan took his hand and said, "I'll teach you. If you don't want to manage it, I can find someone else to do it."

Lin Nan shook his head and said very seriously, "I will study hard, I can do it!"

Lin Nan trusted herself more than others, except for her husband, of course.

In this world, she trusted her husband the most.

"Help! Help!"
