A master of metaphysics is farming.

"One hundred taels! I'll take it!"

The wealthy man offered such a high price. Xiang He carefully examined the newcomer, who was dressed in rich clothes and had a jade crown on his head. He looked like a rich person!

but……

Xiang He suddenly laughed out loud, and the newcomer was slightly surprised. "What's wrong, young lady? You think this price is too low?"

"No, no," Xiang He cleared his throat, suppressing the amusement churning in his heart, and maintained a refined demeanor. "Although I'm still not entirely satisfied, a hundred taels is fine, it'll save me the trouble of searching for a buyer everywhere."

"You've got a sharp tongue, girl."

The man waved his folding fan, and the servant beside him hurriedly took out a money bag and handed it to him, saying, "Miss, count it, there's more than a hundred taels, not less."

Xiang He's eyes lit up. He held the silver in his hand, weighed it in his hand, and then pulled open the rope to count it. The silver was not the right size, but it looked very appealing!

The shopkeeper expressed his regret, "In the end, Young Master Wang beat me to it. Young Master Wang, why don't you let me handle this cutting work? I haven't handled any mountain produce in a long time, and I'm itching to show my skills."

"That's a good feeling!"

Xiang He had just finished counting the money and stuffed the money bag into his arms. "May I ask which family's young master Wang this is? I should thank him properly."

Young Master Wang was slightly taken aback, pointing his folding fan at himself, "You don't know me?"

"I'm just a country girl, how could I be qualified to know a young master?"

He clearly enjoyed being humbled and elevated in this way, raising his chin high with extreme arrogance, "This young master is Wang Rongxing, the eldest son of the Xiangranfang in Shuiyun City!"

Upon hearing the self-praising introduction, Xiang He immediately clapped to give him face, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much for your generosity, Young Master Wang. I am extremely grateful."

"Heh, it's all thanks to you, big cat, that you've won my favor."

"That's right, that's right." Xiang He looked up at the sky. "Young Master Wang, it's midday, and I'm getting a little hungry. Now that the money and goods are settled, I'll be going."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Next time you find good mountain products, just come to Xiangranfang to find this young master."

"I am truly grateful!"

As they pushed the cart away, they didn't forget to express their gratitude, praising this young master Wang Rongxing to the skies, making him look incredibly arrogant.

Xiang He, however, was secretly amused and hurriedly pushed the cart away. Just thinking about who Wang Rongxing was, she felt like she had hit the jackpot.

So that was Wang Rongxing, the man who had an affair with Xiang Lianhua.

Unexpectedly, she actually hooked up with a wealthy man. However, judging from his appearance, he has a lot of bad luck with women. There are probably countless women outside. There is no way Xiang Lianhua could ever enter the Wang family. There will be a good show to watch in the future!

-

While secretly enjoying himself, he ran to the West Market to find Su Shi and Fourth Aunt. Things in the West Market were much cheaper than in the East Market, and he needed to hurry to buy a lot of things today.

She jogged along, her cart spinning rapidly. As she passed a money exchange, she stopped, patted the silver on her chest, put the cart down, and went inside the shop called "Wande Money Exchange".

"Shopkeeper, deposit money... uh, deposit silver?"

A head popped out from behind the tall fence. The shopkeeper had a goatee and some gray hair at his temples. When he saw that it was a girl, his wrinkled eyes narrowed.

Is this your first time depositing money, young lady?

"Yes." Xiang He took out the money bag from his bosom, took out ten taels for later use, "There are ninety taels here, please deposit them for me."

Seeing that she had no purse, the shopkeeper poured out some silver and placed it on the scale, carefully sliding the weight along the edge. "There's still some left over. Would you like me to exchange it for copper coins, miss?"

"That's great!" Xiang He placed the two taels of silver in his hand on the plate. "Could you please exchange these two as well? I'll need them later."

"Is this a purse for you, young lady, as your first time depositing money?"

Xiang Hegao tilted his head back and said, "Thank you so much, shopkeeper!"

The voice was clear and loud, which pleased the old shopkeeper even more. "Please wait a moment, young lady. I will write you a receipt. You can use this receipt to get money from any Wande Money Shop in the future."

"okay!"

The shopkeeper wrote down the receipt, returned the original money bag to her, and gave her a purse as a gift. Xiang He put the copper coins and silver into the money bag, and left the purse with Su Shi.

With this money, she'll go to the herbal medicine shop soon and ask how much silver it will cost to build a house; she can't just sit outside and starve forever.

Just as she was leaving, the old shopkeeper called out, "Young lady, be sure to keep a close eye on your purse."

"Yes, thank you, shopkeeper."

She went out with a bulging bag of copper coins in her hand, pushed her cart to look for Su Shi and Fourth Aunt, and headed towards the busiest West Market, where she found the two in front of a pork shop.

"Mother! Fourth Aunt!"

The weight lifted from Su's heart. She had originally planned to go with him, but Xiang He insisted that she not come, so she had no choice but to give up. Now that she saw him, she finally felt at ease.

“Have you ever been bullied?”

Fourth Aunt gave her a teasing look and laughed, "How could He girl let anyone bully her? It's good enough that she doesn't take advantage of others!"

"Fourth Aunt is right! Mother, guess how much silver I made?"

Madam Su shook her head blankly, then patted Xiang He's chest, "A hundred taels of silver! And it was given by that young master of the Wang family, so generous!"

The two women gasped in surprise, quickly raising their index fingers to their lips. Su pulled her closer, saying, "Don't spread this around, or someone will have their eye on you!"

"Okay," Xiang He reached out and took the cloth bag from her hand, placing it on the cart. "Why did you buy so little? Did you buy any bowls? We're still missing a large water vat, and..."

Xiang He listed out what her family lacked, and her aunt laughed as she listened, "Your family is lacking everything. You'll have to buy a lot of things by the time you get to the end of the road. Luckily, we have a cart."

"Indeed, let's go buy a large water tank first, so that things can be stored in it."

The three of them looked around and finally spotted a large shop selling miscellaneous items not far away. There were also many commonly used furniture items displayed outside. Xiang He hurriedly pushed his cart over. It was just like a modern general store, with a wide variety of items. He estimated that they would spend all their shopping here in a short while.

Xiang He put the cart down and went inside. "Shopkeeper, do you have a large water vat?"

"It's in the corner! Just pick one you like and call someone to move it!"

"Alright!" Xiang He walked straight inside, not forgetting to turn back and remind Su Shi, "Mother, go check the bowls and chopsticks, and the big pot and all that, we need them!"

Hearing this from afar, the shopkeeper quickly put down his pen and walked towards Madam Su, his face beaming with smiles. "Ladies, come over here and take a look. It's not expensive, and I'm sure it will suit your tastes!"

Ms. Su nodded slightly, showing no sign of the initial bewilderment she had when she entered. She followed confidently inside, where a cabinet full of bowls and chopsticks almost made her dizzy with choices.

"I'll take the cheapest one; I'll need to buy other things later, so nothing too expensive."

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and led the two inside. There was another person looking at the bowl ahead, carefully examining the carvings on it. He turned around to call the shopkeeper, but saw the Su couple.

Her expression shifted from slight surprise to a smile. "Oh! What a coincidence, sister-in-law."
