Chapter 108 Xiao Yongyan's mysterious power

Lin Xi has some ideas about this.

"Aunt, didn't Erniu tell you that she gets along well with the kid from the Dai family?" Lin Xi smiled.

Wu Erniu, who was standing by, interrupted Lin Xi immediately, "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Aunt Wu immediately became interested. She had never heard the maid talk about this before. She held Wu Erniu down and said, "Don't say anything. Listen to your sister Lin."

Lin Xi went to town every day and often passed by Wu Erniu's stall.

After a while, she discovered that the boy from the Dai family appeared around Wu Erniu quite frequently. In addition, when she was strolling around, she saw the two of them shopping together.

In ancient times, it was not the same as modern times. If unmarried men and women were always together, it was almost certain that they were dating.

When Aunt Wu saw her daughter's reaction, she knew everything and felt anxious and angry.

The Dai family hasn't said a word so far. Could it be that their son is playing with their daughter's emotions?

Lin Xi quickly advised, "Don't worry, I've been buying ducklings from the Dai family. His kid is not that kind of person. It's just that it's the New Year now, so he can't talk about many things."

Aunt Wu reluctantly agreed with Lin Xi's point of view.

Later, people from the Dai family also came to pay New Year’s greetings.

Lin Xi pulled Dai Laner and Dai Jiner aside and asked about Dai Liyun.

Both sisters said they heard something about it, but the boy just wouldn't say anything.

Lin Xi guessed that the little guy probably had his own ideas, so he asked Xiao Yongyan to go and ask him what he thought.

I don't know what tricks this person used, but he managed to ask the question all at once.

It turned out that Dai Liyun liked Wu Erniu, but seeing how well her business was doing, he felt that he was not worthy of her while he was just following his father to raise ducks.

The two sisters couldn't understand what they heard. After all, they earned a good income from selling ducks and were considered a wealthy family in the village.

Lin Xi said, "In fact, it would be great if the two of them could do the job of selling steamed buns together in the future. Erniu can't handle it alone."

Dai Jiner said, "I'm just worried that the kid will feel ashamed."

"What's the big deal?" Lin Xi advised. "Erniu is planning to open a shop in town and will most likely live in town in the future. Why do you care what the villagers say? Besides, the Dai family's duck business is doing very well. If they open a roast duck restaurant or something, who will gossip about it?"

"When the two stores are next to each other, it will be natural for Dai Liyun to help."

Dai Jin'er suddenly realized, "You must be smart. We never thought of this. I'll go back and persuade that kid."

Dai Lan'er also nodded. Her nephew was old enough to get married. Wu Erniu was a good girl, hardworking and able to make money. It would be a blessing for the Dai family to marry her home.

Lin Xi saw the Dai family off, and a few others followed.

By the time I finally had some peace and quiet, it was already the fifth day of the New Year.

For the villagers, the Chinese New Year is not truly over until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

At night, Xiao Yongyan mysteriously took Lin Xi to the town.

Everyone in the village found it strange. Xiao Yongyan's explanation was that he wanted to wish a happy new year to his cooperating boss in the town.

With this said, everyone understands.

After all, we are doing business, and there are always some relationships that need to be maintained.

Only Lin Xi knew in her heart that Xiao Yongyan brought her out definitely not for any New Year's greetings.

Sure enough, he parked the carriage at the back door of Shuer Academy and took Lin Xi all the way to the study.

A young woman in black was already standing in the study. When she saw Xiao Yongyan coming in, she immediately knelt on one knee, "Young Master."

Xiao Yongyan introduced Lin Xi, "This is one of the secret guards my father left me, Feng Miao. She will be your stand-in from now on, so let her do anything that is convenient for you to do."

Hearing this, Feng Miao looked at Lin Xi, "Feng Miao greets the young madam."

It was the first time that Lin Xi discovered that the setting in the novel had come true. He still found it a little unbelievable, "You should get up quickly."

As a modern person, she is still not used to someone kneeling to her.

"Do you have any ideas about this substitute?" Xiao Yongyan asked.

Lin Xi looked serious. She had been thinking about this issue ever since Xiao Yongyan told her last time to develop her own power.

"Since it's a stand-in, it has to be full of mystery. I think there is no more attractive character than a mysterious rich businessman." Lin Xi said.

Xiao Yongyan nodded, and he also agreed with Lin Xi's opinion.

"With the money we have, we can't afford the title of wealthy businessmen. Before that, we need to make money first." Lin Xi analyzed.

Xiao Yongyan couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this, "What are you going to do, rely on the silk business?"

Lin Xi glared at Xiao Yongyan and said, "The silk business is good, but it takes time to grow it. Think about it, for those who really hold power, how can they be interested in this kind of woman's business? So it's better for us to do this business ourselves. It's too slow to make money from it."

"Madam, do you have any good suggestions?" Xiao Yongyan became more interested.

Lin Xi smiled mysteriously, "Let me ask you, if you have a mine, would others be a little wary of you?"

Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi in disbelief, surprised and happy, but also found it hard to believe, "Do you know where there is a mine?"

Throughout the country, no one dared to say that they had this ability. If others knew about it, I'm afraid there would be another bloody storm.

There is indeed a mineral plate in the Shennong system. As for the actual effect, Lin Xi has not tested it and is not sure.

"System, how do you determine whether there are minerals in a mountain?"

[Please purchase a prospecting instrument from the toolbox to detect the composition, location, and reserves of the ore in the mountain. ]

Lin Xi was shocked. Even in modern times, mineral exploration is extremely costly and requires huge investment.

The so-called prospecting device in the system is very small and can be easily carried by one person. However, how to take it out is really a problem.

"I did learn some methods of prospecting for minerals from a master, but I have never put them into practice," Lin Xi said, "I thought it would be a good idea to let Feng Miao investigate the situation first, and then I will go to explore."

Xiao Yongyan barely recovered from his shock. Lin Xi's words were vague, and he knew it was an excuse as soon as he heard it.

Forget it. With such ability, it would be for your own good not to tell others. He can understand.

"Feng Miao, you heard everything."

"Feng Miao understands. Please rest assured, Young Master and Young Madam." Feng Miao said.

Lin Xi reminded, "Your investigation should not be too far away. In my opinion, you should take Xucheng as the center and first find out the situation of the surrounding mountains."

Xucheng is the closest big city to the county seat. This place is a certain distance away from Taoli Village and has a relatively prosperous economy.

Even if a mysterious businessman came out, due to the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, it is unlikely that people would associate him with them.

After Feng Miao received the order, he disappeared in front of the two people, which made Lin Xi marvel at the sight.

Xiao Yongyan sighed, "I never thought that my wife knows everything about astronomy and geography. I am ashamed of my husband."
