Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

In this quiet and elegant courtyard, we spread out paper and pens and practiced calligraphy and literature together.

Sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves, dappling them with its glow, while a gentle breeze carried the scents of flowers and grass.

The couple would occasionally exchange ideas and discuss things, sometimes laughing and joking, sometimes praising each other, creating a unique and leisurely atmosphere.

Before they knew it, it was past noon. After a simple lunch, the two went to the market to buy all sorts of items needed to decorate the courtyard.

They carefully selected tables, chairs, screens, beds, and various decorative items, imagining what the new courtyard would look like after being decorated, their hearts filled with anticipation.

I also bought a lot of painting tools, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones and put them there directly.

After the scented soap workshop was established, Wang Qing'er would spend her free time painting, writing, and reading books in her courtyard to pass the time.

Wang Qing'er asked Mu Xia to arrange for a tailor to go to the new courtyard to take measurements for the servants and make several sets of clothes.

She drew the blueprints herself. The young women wore one style, the girls wore another, and the men wore yet another; they were meant to be work uniforms.

Gu Tang was officially promoted to steward by Mu Nan, in charge of all matters in the mansion. His wife Wu Lian, Aunt Liu, and another woman, Li Shi, were in charge of all matters in the kitchen.

All three of them have some cooking skills. With Wang Qing'er's further training, they will surely become excellent cooks.

Then there's that elderly couple. The husband's surname is Ge, and the old man's name is Ge Hongliang. He's just over fifty. Their son and daughter-in-law passed away from illness a few years ago, leaving behind three children.

The original owners disliked the elderly couple because of their advanced age and the fact that they had three children who were not yet able to work, so they sold them off cheaply.

After spending several months in the brokerage firm, no one was willing to buy their family. If no one was willing to buy them in a few more days, they would probably be sold off cheaply elsewhere.

Whether they will be able to stay together by then is uncertain, because they are secretly grateful to Wang Qing'er.

He also instructed his three grandchildren to serve their master's family well and be loyal to them when they grow up.

The three children nodded in agreement very seriously.

Wang Qing'er learned that Ge Hongliang had previously taken care of the flowers and plants in his previous home, so she entrusted the couple with the care of all the flowers, plants, and trees in the yard.

The woman, surnamed He, was skilled in needlework. Moreover, before she got married, she was a companion to a daughter of an official, so she was also literate.

Wang Qing'er then arranged for her to first teach a few girls to embroider and read and write in their spare time.

Once the soap workshop is established, we'll select a few older girls to work there. In their spare time, they can still read, write, and do embroidery. Anyway, the work in the workshop isn't tiring.

After observing them for a while longer, if there are any people of good character among them, they can stay by your side as personal maids.

Wang Qing'er carefully examined the girls. Although they weren't particularly beautiful, each had her own unique charm.

Those little boys were all very handsome; they would surely grow up to be dashing young men.

Besides Gu Tang, who was literate, two other men knew some martial arts. Mu Nan asked them to teach the boys martial arts first, and he would personally teach them when he had time.

Needless to say, the five young and strong servants must have practiced martial arts, otherwise how could they guard the house?

After arranging for everyone they had bought and ensuring all the flower and saplings had been planted, the couple returned to their small courtyard.

What Wang Qing'er didn't expect was that Mu Nan not only dug up a lot of peach and loquat saplings, but also brought them back.

He even dug up a lot of mango saplings from the Yun family's orchard. Although these mango saplings had never borne fruit, they were all fruit trees that were over five years old. No wonder he was in such a mess.

In fact, besides the twenty-odd mango trees that were always bearing fruit, there were also hundreds of mango trees in the Yun family's orchard that had never borne fruit.

Yun Kai didn't know why, but the mango trees he cultivated later grew into towering trees but didn't bear fruit. So when Mu Nan asked him to buy these trees, he agreed without hesitation.

He did not accept his senior brother's money, and told him to dig as much as he wanted, since it wouldn't bear any fruit anyway.

At first, Wang Qing'er was confused as to why the Yun family would agree to give her such a precious mango tree. Only after listening to her husband's explanation did she understand the reason.

Mu Nan also told her that the yard only had a small part of it, and that dozens of trees were planted on the farm.

Wang Qing'er looked at her husband and couldn't help but feel a headache. What was the point of planting so many mango trees that didn't bear fruit? Mango trees didn't seem to have any ornamental value.

But her husband said that because she loved to eat them, he would plant more, just in case they bore fruit.

Well, Wang Qing'er had no argument; this man was truly good to her.

I will find it for her as long as she likes it.

The following year, all the mango trees on her farm and in her yard blossomed and bore fruit, allowing her to achieve mango freedom, producing even more than the Yun family.

Although the mango trees in the Yun family's house also bore fruit, they were not as good as the ones in her family's house.

This question puzzled everyone, including Wang Qing'er herself.

She then thought back carefully. In the year since she transmigrated, all the plants, vegetables and fruits in her home, whether transplanted or propagated, had a high survival rate and were growing well. Could it be that she possessed some kind of mysterious energy?

Of course, these are things to follow.

When the two returned to the courtyard with Wu Zihao and the two children, it was already dusk.

The courtyard was brightly lit. The two children had played wildly with their friends all day and fell asleep as soon as they got into the carriage.

Mu Nan and Wu Zihao had no choice but to each carry one into the yard.

Fortunately, the two girls woke up as soon as they entered the courtyard. Wang Qing'er helped them wash up, and the two girls instantly perked up and started playing in the courtyard.

Seeing Mu Yan and Zhou Shi busy in the kitchen, Wang Qing'er went in to help, but was chased out by Zhou Shi.

"Go and rest, we'll be done soon. We bought fish and chicken today. Your aunt is making sauerkraut fish and cold shredded chicken. Try your aunt's cooking later."

Wang Qing'er has taught the family members how to cook the dishes she often makes, especially her mother-in-law, who has already mastered most of them.

My aunt, Mu Yan, wasn't feeling well recently and then moved out, so I haven't had a chance to try these two dishes she made.

After arriving in the county town, perhaps because she was in high spirits due to the happy occasion, my aunt's health improved even more.

She's been cooking a lot lately, and the girls from the shop in front of her take turns helping her.
