A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Then let's keep calling these eggs sesame paste eggs. As for our family's label, I'll leave that to my husband to figure out.

After discussing business matters, the family chatted for a while before returning to their respective rooms.

Once inside the room, Lin He'er saw that she still had some time, so she decided to finish crocheting the bag tonight and then go to town tomorrow. She figured she should have received a reply from the prefectural city about the sesame paste and eggs she had sent a couple of days ago.

By the light of the oil lamp on Wen Yuning's table, Lin He'er moved a stool and sat quietly beside him, continuing the work she hadn't finished.

Sensing that someone had appeared at the table, Wen Yuning turned to look at the corner of the table and saw the little girl with her head down, carefully fiddling with something in her hands under the oil lamp.

Under the soft glow of the oil lamp, the fluffy little head and gentle, serene profile drew the eye. Wen Yuning felt as if she were about to succumb to the same impulse she had felt the night before!

I took a deep breath, trying not to look at the person next to me, and looked down at the book on the table.

When Lin He'er felt the oil lamp on the table was getting a little dim, she finally finished the bag! Looking at the finished bag in her hands, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction!

"Come wash up, you've been busy all night, aren't you tired?" Looking at the little girl's tired face, Wen Yuning felt a pang of sympathy. This girl was even more diligent when she studied than she was when she read!

Seeing that Wen Yuning had already brought her water, Lin He'er gave him a playful smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Wen!"

Because she had indeed stayed up for a long time tonight, Lin He'er washed up, lay in bed, and soon fell asleep!

Wen Yuning, who was beside her, was still awake. She turned to look at the little girl for a while, and when she saw that the little one was already fast asleep, she quietly picked her up and hugged her, gently kissed her forehead, and closed her eyes contentedly!

The next morning, Lin He'er opened her eyes and was surprised to find herself sleeping in Wen Yuning's arms. Had her sleeping posture gotten worse? How did she end up in someone's arms?

He hurriedly stepped back, got up, put on his clothes, and left the house.

He'er got up early today! In the courtyard, Liu was preparing feed for the chickens and ducks in her backyard when she saw her daughter-in-law walk out of the house with a bewildered look on her face.

"Good morning, Mother! I'm not too sleepy today." Lin He'er saw her mother-in-law busy preparing feed for the chickens and ducks, so she went over to lend a hand.

The two of them fed the chickens and ducks together. When they came out of the backyard, Lin He'er asked her mother-in-law if she wanted to go to town together. "We should hear a reply from the embroidery shop owner today. We can also bring some preserved eggs and see if the embroidery shop will accept them."

Upon hearing her daughter-in-law mention that there would be a reply regarding the sesame paste and egg business, Liu immediately declared that she would go along. This time, without needing anyone else to tell her, she went out to borrow an oxcart.

After breakfast, the two loaded their belongings onto the oxcart, told their families, and then went to town.

Upon arriving in town, things proceeded as before: Liu looked after the carriage while Lin He'er went to the embroidery shop.

When Lin He'er walked into the embroidery shop as if she knew the way well, she saw Manager Xu busy at the counter.

Upon seeing Lin He'er arrive, he quickly waved to her and told her to go to the backyard first.

Lin He'er nodded to Madam Xu, then picked up her basket and went into the backyard.

After sitting at the stone table in the backyard for a while, Xu came to the backyard from the front shop.

"He'er, are you here to hear a reply?" Madam Xu asked Lin He'er as soon as she entered.

Well, it was about time, and the bags the customer ordered were ready, so I thought I'd do both things at the same time.

"Wow, so fast!" When Madam Xu heard Lin He'er say that the bags were already finished, she hurriedly asked her to bring them out for a look.

Auntie, take a look. Will the lady and young lady be satisfied with this bag?

From the moment Lin He'er took out her bag, Xu's eyes never left her.

It's so beautiful! This bag is gorgeous, completely different in style from the bags in the shop before. Most importantly, it looks high-end and very luxurious.

I never expected this girl to actually make such a high-quality product according to the customer's wishes. Mrs. Xu really likes this bag in her hand!

The design on the bag is truly visually striking. The crane and lotus flowers are incredibly lifelike! I'm sure customers will be very satisfied!

Hey girl, your cooking skills are amazing! Even your auntie is incredibly envious!

If you think it looks good, that's fine. I think the guests will be satisfied too! Then I'll hand over the bag to you today.

Okay, no need to wait for the customers to accept the bag. I'll pay you in a bit. If they're still not satisfied with the bag, I'll take it myself!

Thank you for recognizing my skills, Auntie. What did the employer say about the sesame paste and eggs? Having finished discussing the buns, Lin He'er hadn't forgotten the main purpose of her visit.

You've come at just the right time today. Our boss wanted to meet you and even asked me to schedule a time with you!

The big boss? Young Master Xu's third uncle! Am I about to meet that wealthy merchant?

Lin He'er was quite surprised that her family's small business would meet such a big boss; she could hardly believe it. After all, this man had a vast business network, and the fact that he came to see her showed that he valued her business.

Has the boss set a specific time? Lin He'er thought that if she could meet him today, she wouldn't have to make another trip another day.

The boss should arrive before noon. I've booked a table at Fuchun Restaurant. I'll take you there later so you can discuss the deal with him personally.

Thank you so much, Auntie! Since we're not going until noon, I'll go tell my family first, so my mother-in-law won't get impatient.

Alright, Heya, go ahead. We can meet at Fuchun Restaurant when it's time.

Okay, then let's meet at Fuchun Restaurant later.

Xu saw Lin He'er out and settled the wages for making the bag.

Lin He'er took the money and walked quickly toward the oxcart.

When they arrived at the oxcart, Liu saw that her daughter-in-law had returned quite quickly today. She assumed that the deal had been finalized.

Mother, the business deal hasn't even started yet. The owner of the embroidery shop happened to be here today, and we've arranged to meet at a restaurant at noon to discuss the deal. Let's go together then!

"Let's go to a restaurant!" Upon hearing this, Madam Liu knew it was a place frequented by wealthy people, and quickly waved her hand to refuse.

He'er, just go there when the time comes. I won't go. It's inconvenient to park the oxcart there. I'll stay here and watch the cart. Don't worry about me. I'll just buy some sesame cakes from the stall around noon.

Lin He'er saw that Liu Shi really didn't want to go, so she didn't try to persuade her.

Then you must eat when you come back, don't be stingy with money.

"Mother, come to me," Lin He'er whispered to her mother-in-law.

"What's wrong, He'er?" Liu asked as her daughter-in-law whispered to her. What big secret was she about to tell her?

Here, take this. Buy some good food later. Don't just eat sesame cakes. Go to the stall and have a bowl of noodles with meat. We're rich now!

As Liu approached her daughter-in-law, she felt something hard being stuffed into her hand. Looking down, she saw it was a piece of silver!

Mother, please put this away. The embroidery shop just settled my payment for my handicrafts. Here you go!

No, no! When Liu saw that what she was holding was her daughter-in-law's wages, she hurriedly tried to return it.

How could your mother accept the money you worked so hard for?

Mother, please take this. It's not much, just one or two taels of silver. Consider it my own gift to you and Father.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law genuinely wanted to give it to her, Liu happily accepted it. "Good child, I'll accept this filial gift from you!"

I'll go to the restaurant to wait now. Mom, you can wait in the car by yourself. It might take a while, so don't worry!

"Oh, oh, Mother understands, He'er, go quickly!" Liu Shi waved to her daughter-in-law.

After explaining what she needed to do to her mother-in-law, Lin He'er wasn't in a hurry, as there was still some time before noon. She slowly walked towards Fuchun Tower.
