Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Good heavens, I'm sorry, I lied again. Actually, I didn't lie entirely. My maternal grandparents' family did have two horses, one for harnessing a carriage and the other for my uncle to ride on a daily basis.

As for the original owner, he probably never even touched a horse.

Oh dear! It's all her fault for getting carried away and forgetting that she shouldn't be able to ride a horse right now. But now that she's been exposed, there's no need for her to keep pretending.

"Husband, let me do it!"

"Okay." Mu Nan handed the whip and reins to his wife, who then took control of the horse.

"Qing'er, how about we have a competition?" Qin Miaomiao became interested as soon as she saw that Wang Qing'er could ride a horse, and she decided to have a competition.

"Miaomiao, let's not go yet. I haven't ridden a horse in a long time, so I'm quite rusty. Next time, I'll choose one of my own horses and race you again, what do you say?"

Wang Qing'er hadn't ridden a horse in a long time, and besides, she wasn't familiar with this horse, and it was quite tall, so she was a little scared. She didn't want to have an accident on her first time riding a horse here.

"Okay." Qin Miaomiao was a little disappointed, but she still readily agreed.

"Where is this?" Wang Qing'er had been sleeping ever since she got into the carriage, and she had no idea how far they had traveled or where they were now.

"We'll be there in half an hour. Are you hungry?" Mu Nan whispered in his wife's ear, his arm around her slender waist.

"Not hungry yet." She had just mounted the horse and was enjoying herself, so she didn't want to go back to the carriage now. Even if she was a little hungry, she couldn't admit it.

"Then tell me if you're hungry, and we'll go back to the carriage to eat."

Upon hearing her husband's words, Wang Qing'er thought to herself, "Just as I thought. Luckily, I didn't admit it."

"Husband, whose farm is this? There are so many mulberry trees, and why are there still mulberries on the trees?" She remembered that the mulberries in the mountains were long past their season, so how come there are still some here? She really wanted to go in and pick some to eat.

"Qing'er, this is Brother Yun's farm, which is used specifically for raising silkworms."

"Raising silkworms? Brother Yun's family raises silkworms? Can we go in and take a look?" Wang Qing'er became interested immediately when she heard that there were silkworms here, as she had raised silkworms before.

Although she only raised a few dozen silkworms, they eventually spun cocoons, but the process of raising silkworms was unforgettable for her.

Living in the city with her parents and grandparents, she worried about how to feed dozens of animals every day. She finally found a mulberry tree, but the leaves were picked clean by others in just a few days.

She had no choice but to search again. One time, she picked too many mulberry leaves, and the silkworms got sick after eating them.

The whole family was at a loss and searched for a lot of information online, studying it repeatedly.

In the end, the silkworms recovered on their own, but she still lost several that time, which made her sad for several days.

Later, Grandpa dug up a few mulberry trees from his hometown and planted them in the yard. He also went outside to find more from time to time. That's how he managed to raise dozens of silkworms to adulthood and spin cocoons.

Finally, they metamorphosed into moths, mated, and produced many seeds.

"Qing'er, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Yun family's silkworm farm," Mu Nan whispered to her.

"Oh, I see." Wang Qing'er was a little disappointed, but since there were rules, she let it go. She could raise silkworms herself when she found silkworm eggs, since there were so many mulberry leaves in the mountains.

"It's alright, if my sister-in-law wants to see, we'll go in and take a look." The reason for not letting outsiders in is to prevent those with malicious intent from going in and causing damage.

Silkworms are very delicate and can easily get sick, sometimes dying off in droves.

Some rotted and turned black, some became stiff and turned white, and some looked mature as if they were about to form cocoons, but they were empty and did not spin silk.

"Brother Yun Kai, since there are rules, we'd better not break them." Wang Qing'er felt a little embarrassed, realizing she had been too forward and made such an unreasonable request.

"It's alright, that kid Mu Zhicheng has been wanting to see it for a while now, let's do it together today," Yun Kai said nonchalantly.

"If Yun Kai says to go see it, then let's go together," Mu Nan whispered in her ear.

"Thanks to my sister-in-law, I can finally see what silkworms look like today. I begged her for so long, but she wouldn't take me to see them. What a stingy guy."

Mu Zhicheng bowed to Wang Qing'er in gratitude, while also complaining about his senior brother's stinginess.

Wang Qing'er asked with some surprise, "Young Master Mu has never seen a silkworm before?"

"Has your sister-in-law met you before?" Mu Zhicheng looked at Wang Qing'er with curiosity, as did the others.

Wang Qing'er then realized that she seemed to have given herself away again. This damned curiosity! It's not like she's never seen a silkworm before, so why is she so curious?

It was only later that she realized from her memory that silkworms were a very rare species here.

Silkworm farming was not yet widespread, and ordinary people had no idea that silkworms existed; they were still kept in the hands of wealthy and powerful families like the Yun family.

She seems to belong to one of those humans who shouldn't know about silkworms.

Although there are mulberry leaves in the mountains, they are all wild and most people don't know what they are used for; they just think of it as an ordinary tree.

Sigh, it seems I need to be more careful when I'm with these people, and it's better to talk less.

"I've never seen it, I've only heard about it. I thought that since Young Master Mu and Brother Yun have such a good relationship, you must have seen the Yun family raising silkworms."

Wang Qing'er could only make up excuses and shift the blame back to Yun Kai, silently apologizing to Brother Yun, saying she didn't want to do it either!

"I've never seen it before. I begged that stingy guy several times, but he wouldn't take me to see it. Today, it's all thanks to you, sister-in-law. Otherwise, I probably would never have been able to enter the gate of the silkworm farm in my entire life."

As expected, Mu Zhicheng looked mournful when he mentioned this matter, and he complained to Yun Kai again.

Wang Qing'er apologized to Yun Kai in her heart again.

Yun Kai let him complain as he pleased, while looking at Mu Zhicheng with doting eyes.

Since he was the youngest junior brother, it was truly unavoidable not to take him to see the silkworms; it was a family rule, and he had no choice but to accept it.

The reason I agreed to take them in today is because all the silkworms have spun their cocoons, and the servants at the farm are busy picking them.

My sister-in-law and junior brother will probably not see any silkworms today and will have to return disappointed.

Thinking about it, I should bring a few back for my junior brother to see next time, so he won't complain about me for the rest of his life and call me a stingy person.

"Leave the horses outside and have a few people guard them. We'll walk in." The group quickly arrived at the farm entrance. Yun Kai dismounted first, and Jiang Ma was tied to a tree by the roadside.

Mu Nan also dismounted and helped his wife down as well.

"You, you guys go in, I, I won't go in," Qin Miaomiao said hesitantly.

"Wife, don't you want to go in and check on the silkworms?" Mu Zhicheng asked, looking at his wife who was still sitting on horseback.

"What's so interesting about them? They're just some plump, soft, white worms," ​​Qin Miaomiao said dismissively, but a very unnatural expression suddenly appeared on her face.
