"As for any urgent need for money..."
Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "As the saying goes, 'He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.' Your plan is correct, but now that I have married into the Marquis's family, my family is safe and secure. What urgent need is there for money? Even if the shop can't continue and we don't have the money to support it, we can just close it down. Besides, we still have Shen Chang Le around, and she hasn't taken any money from the shop. There are several old managers overseeing it, so it's unlikely to come to that."
Cuiming and Hongye were taken aback, then said, "Oh dear, we were really confused."
Qin Yuan smiled, then picked up a grape and put it in her mouth.
Having suddenly entered a life of wealth and luxury, it will take time for those around him to change their minds.
Ultimately, it's because I handled too little money at the Qin residence before, so it's understandable that I'm anxious about such a large expenditure.
Cuiming asked, "Does Miss intend to influence the price of pepper in the capital, and then affect the prices in the surrounding prefectures?"
Qin Yuan sat up straight and said with a smile, "Cui Ming understands me best. I dare not buy too much pepper in the capital, but I can buy more pepper from the surrounding prefectures. In addition, Shen Chang Le is shrewd and resourceful. Look at how long it has been, he has been able to print such a good collection of poems. I think if we leave this matter to him, he may have other ways. We might as well let him do it."
Hongye thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Miss wants to stir up trouble, secretly hoard pepper, and make a fortune."
Qin Yuan smiled and hummed in agreement.
Gu Shiba listened inside, trying not to laugh. But before the Marquis came out with the two men, my eyes lit up, and I dared to look up. I quickly turned around and led the way.
Gu Shiba waited on the corridor.
It looks like Da Dong is having a lot of fun.
At that moment, I finally felt like a young man of that age.
The Marquis laughed again, "What nonsense about calling someone 'Madam' or 'Sister'? That brat is really having a hard time."
With this person around, she wasn't worried at all.
After bypassing the barrier and reaching the stage, they saw a figure in black rushing around like lightning. Gu Shiba said, "That's Cuiming carrying Da Dong."
Hongye said, "You're praising her. When Cuiming sees it later, let Cuiming praise her too."
Da Dong hesitated, glancing at the Marquis and then at Min Chunfa, before finally saying, "Can't you ride for a while longer?"
Hongye glanced at Min Chun and chuckled to herself.
In those two days, the number of patients outside the mansion increased. Doctor Li and Da Dongtou were particularly busy, and you also had to go to see patients every day, so you didn't have much free time.
Min Chun: "Hehe."
The group arrived at the training ground quite slowly, and from afar they could hear the clatter of hooves and Da Dong's joyful screams.
Gu Shiba nodded and said, "Da Dong goes to see Eighth Master every day to practice the Seven Animal Frolics. When Cui Ming has time, she also gives me a pointer or two. Today, I don't know what we were talking about, but Cui Ming said she wants to take me horseback riding. Min Chun's 'Snow-Treading Traces' horse is pure white all over, without a single stray hair, except for the white hair around its seven hooves. It's very rare. Madam, would you like to change out of your riding clothes and go to the training ground to play around?"
Xiao Dong secretly rejoiced.
Shen Changle smiled and tossed the reins to Gu Shiba, saying, "Of course not. Let Shiba lead the horse for a while so he can get used to it. Later, let Shiba pick out a horse for him to learn quickly."
Noblemen outside the capital city disliked playing polo and Cuju (ancient Chinese football), but the Qin family was not wealthy, and Min Chun, as a son born out of wedlock, had even less opportunity to learn to ride horses and play polo.
There wasn't a single riding outfit among the dowry clothes.
What can Shen Chang Le possibly boast about?
Hongye, who was standing nearby, immediately said, "Eighteen, is Min Chun trying to teach Big Sister how to ride a horse?"
The Marquis looked at me, sitting low on my horse, and thought to himself, "Chen Chang Le's face is indeed very ugly."
"Depressed, Min Chun is so bad, Min Chun is so great, Ta Xue is so amazing."
Min Chun thought to himself, "That thousand-mile horse from Xiaowan is as slow as lightning, it's as if it has wings."
The person had only been gone a short while, yet they returned so quickly, indicating they knew nothing was wrong.
The Marquis loathed seeing us together.
As we were talking, Ma Touqi approached, arrogantly shook his head, and snorted at us.
Hongye couldn't help but praise it again.
Xiao Dong said, "Madam's riding attire? You'll have to look for it some more."
Da Dong grinned widely, as if he wanted to tell everyone that Cui Ming and Min Chun's horses had caused quite a bit of trouble.
Min Chun was somewhat bewildered.
Worries and anxieties, yet laughter fills the air.
"Da Dong, are you bored riding horses with Cui Ming?"
The Marquis said, "Oh no, Eighteen is still waiting inside. He'd better be careful."
Shen Changle was dressed in a black outfit, her face was as white as jade and as if carved by a knife, her hair was as black as ink and combed low, and her sharp eyebrows and eyes were as if carved by a knife.
Outside the house, Hongye and Xiaodong helped the Marquis change out of his little red riding clothes, and then combed his hair again, tying it tightly with a hairband to prevent it from getting messy.
"Take Da Dong horseback riding?"
Hongmian reported from inside: "Madam, Gu Shiba has nothing to report."
Gu Shiba, understanding the situation, led Ta Xue away quickly, and the sounds of Da Dong's laughter could often be heard.
Da Dong called out in a high-pitched voice from afar, "Madam, Madam sister."
They were clearly having a lot of fun.
Hongye couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Everyone says that a fine sword is given to a hero, but you see, it's more like saying that a fine horse is given to a hero."
The Marquis smiled and chimed in.
Hongye couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehe, even though the Eighth Madam bought so little pepper, the price was still high. She'll know she'll have less to worry about before she opens her mansion."
"Let me step back," the Marquis said, seemingly unsurprised.
Shen Changle strode up to Min Chunmian with his strong, long legs, stared intently at his beautiful, fiery wife, and asked, "Madam, can he ride a horse?"
Gu Shiba said, "Cuiming is very close to older children in private, and besides, what woman doesn't dislike fine horses?"
In her previous life, Shen Changle was a gatekeeper in a government office, capable of handling all sorts of people from all walks of life.
Perhaps noticing our approach, Shen Changle slowed his horse down, turned around, and galloped towards us.
"Thank you, Cuiming," Da Dong said with delight. I raised my head and pressed it heavily against the horse's head, whispering, "Ta Xue, you hate him, let him play with you a little longer."
Da Dong sat on my lap, his handsome face full of smiles.
Min Chun smiled as well.
The Marquis couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Changle smiled as he mounted his horse and asked, "Da Dong, does he still want to ride for a while?"
Min Chun nodded and said, "Oh no, you know now. I'll come after you change your clothes."
Gu Shiba glanced at the Marquis and laughed, "I know that too, but Cuiming said that, so she must not have any intention of staying outside. She is about to open her mansion today, so Cuiming is in a bad mood and can't ride a horse with her wife."
Min Chun was taken aback.
As soon as Gu Shiba stepped back, he smiled and said, "Madam, Cuiming sent Da to ask if you would like to go to the training ground. I am currently taking Da Dong on horseback."
"Big sister looks absolutely stunning in that little red dress, with her snow-white skin, jet-black hair, and fiery red lips, oh my gosh!"
When the Marquis insisted on having a set of riding clothes made, Cui Shi resisted but still had them made.
