The only way to make big money is to sell high-end goods to wealthy people, which is why the carpenters work hard every year to develop this business and attract customers.
...She wanted to get involved too. It was a highly profitable business, much more lucrative than selling tables, chairs, or beds.
She could even design a "motorhome," a multi-functional carriage that can be used for both living and traveling.
That's it, that's the decision. Once she finishes building the city wall and has some savings, she'll go on to do research and make money by building cars.
During this time, she made a request to the doctor: could the carriage first go to the tavern where Tusu wine was sold, as she had arranged to meet someone there?
A short while later, the carriage stopped. Zheng Quchi got out and looked around. He saw Li Shi waiting there with two small jars of Tusu wine at the wine shop's banner.
Who is that person?
Fu Rong peeked out of the side window and saw Zheng Quchi running towards the person who was waiting. For some reason, the person looked somewhat familiar.
"You don't remember the person I checked not long ago?"
Yuwen Sheng smiled.
Ah, he remembered.
"Is it Master Li? But how does he know Madam?"
Fu Rong rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, revealing an inexplicable and eerie smile.
Ha, it looks like he's about to catch a hidden mouse.
General, am I about to make a name for myself as soon as I arrive?
Master Li saw Zheng Quchi get off the carriage, and at the same time he also noticed a gaze inside the carriage, very sharp, like a small knife, probing and dissecting his body from various parts.
"Did you figure it out?" Yuwen Sheng asked him.
Fu Rong composed himself and, to be on the safe side, said, "General, this Master Li is strange, but we can't figure it out for the time being. Give me some time so I can observe him more closely from nearby."
Master Li asked Zheng Quchi, "What is that carriage?"
Zheng Quchi recounted the events to him, then asked, "Did you report what happened before to the county government? What was their response?"
"They said they would send someone to investigate thoroughly and would notify us when they have any news."
Zheng Quchi was somewhat disappointed after hearing this, but also felt that it was reasonable.
Teacher Li asked her, "Do you need to buy anything else?"
Because Liu Fengmian's foot was injured, Zheng Quchi was no longer in the mood to go shopping, so he said, "We've basically bought everything we need. Let's hurry back and hang up the peach wood charms and paste up the New Year pictures, then we can celebrate New Year's Eve."
"Alright, let's go back."
He suddenly noticed a faint red mark on Zheng Quchi's neck, barely visible beneath his collar: "Your neck injury... you haven't applied any medicine?"
Speaking of this, Zheng Quchi had forgotten all about it.
She reached out and touched it, feeling a slight sting: "It's just a minor injury. It doesn't hurt anymore if I don't touch it."
Zheng Quchi gave a big, carefree laugh.
Seeing her say this, Master Li stopped talking. There is a difference between men and women, especially since she is a married woman. Being too concerned would be a transgression.
Once inside the carriage, the seating arrangement was quite elaborate. Fu Rong was originally seated next to Yuwen Sheng, but when Master Li arrived, he took the initiative to sit next to Master Li and kept staring at him with a strange, smiling gaze.
As for Master Li, he sat there expressionless, remaining as steady as an old dog no matter how much the other party scrutinized him.
Just as Zheng Quchi sat down, Liu Fengmian, who had been ignoring her the whole time, suddenly grabbed her hand.
She was somewhat surprised, and then a force pulled her over, causing her to lie down on his lap.
"wind……"
"Don't move."
Yuwen Sheng gently touched her forehead with one of his icy fingers and pressed her down.
He then took out a small copper medicine box with blue floral patterns, unscrewed it, and dabbed a little green ointment from the box onto his finger.
He lifted her chin, revealing the wound on her neck. His cold fingertips traced down her delicate skin until they gently touched the wound, then carefully applied ointment to dissolve it.
Zheng Quchi then realized that he was applying medicine to her.
Feeling his gentle yet somewhat clumsy touch, she turned her gaze to his focused face as he applied the medicine. The unease and frustration that had just welled up inside her seemed to vanish instantly.
How do you have medicine?
"I just got it from the pharmacy."
"What does it cure?" she asked, knowing the answer already.
Yuwen Sheng played along with her question, smiling slightly as he replied, "It's for treating injuries that don't hurt."
Zheng Quchi paused for a moment to process what he had just said, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It turned out that he had overheard her conversation with Teacher Li and that's how he learned that she had an injury on her neck. She had been wondering how he, with his eye condition and poor eyesight, knew that she had an injury on her neck.
"I didn't expect you to be so funny. Since we're just killing time anyway, let me tell you a joke. Anyway..."
Fu Rong was amazed by the sweet and warm atmosphere between the couple opposite him, who seemed oblivious to everyone else.
It turns out that married men really are very different from when they were single.
The general before me, though he had donned a disguised identity and adopted a different temperament, acted naturally towards his wife without the slightest hint of reluctance or pretense.
And this lady, well, she doesn't seem to be quite the same as he initially thought.
I just listened to her talk about the car manufacturing industry. She spoke very knowledgeably and had quite a bit of craftsmanship experience. So she can't be said to be completely without knowledge or merits.
And then there's the fact that her jokes... weren't funny at all, not even a tenth as funny as his.
"Hahahaha... Why ask if Grandpa grew up in the end? Is this guy an idiot?" Fu Rong slapped his thigh and laughed.
