Chapter 76 Talking



As soon as Wei Hanzhou went out, he met Huang Fucheng who lived next door.

Huang Fucheng was much more enthusiastic this time than before, and said, "Thank you very much for your advice yesterday, Lord Wei."

Wei Hanzhou said, "Mr. Huang is too polite. I didn't say anything. I just felt that I was concerned about my neighbor because we were colleagues and lived close to each other."

Huang Fucheng understood, "Haha, that's right, Lord Wei didn't say anything, I remembered it wrong."

Although Huang Fucheng was criticized for abandoning his first wife, he had been an official for a long time. He would not just go out and say that Wei Hanzhou told him what the third prince said. If he really said that, wouldn't he offend Wei Hanzhou? Besides, who would dare to inform them in the future?

After that, the two separated.

One was riding in a carriage and the other on a horse, heading towards the palace gate.

During the morning court session that day, Huang Fucheng specially submitted a memorial and showed his face in front of Emperor You.

The prince mocked the third prince in a sarcastic tone.

Emperor You's face immediately turned unhappy and he glanced at the eunuch who came to report the news that day.

The eunuch was originally standing far away, but after seeing Emperor You's look, he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

The third prince frowned and looked unhappy.

Not long after Wei Hanzhou left, Liu Tangxi got up after lying in bed for a while.

Nanny Cheng also went to the Marquis's residence yesterday and heard what Yin said. Moreover, she knew what happened as there was such a commotion in the main room last night.

So, Liu Tangxi had just finished washing up and was about to go to the kitchen to cook when she saw Nanny Cheng coming over with a casserole.

Liu Tangxi sniffed, swallowed, and asked, "What is this? It smells so good."

Nanny Cheng smiled and said, "Madam has been too tired recently. I made you some nourishing soup. Drink it while it's hot."

Liu Tangxi's face suddenly turned red and she looked at the old hen soup in the casserole.

"Drink it, ma'am. There are supplements in here that the marquis's wife brought. They are very tonic." Nanny Cheng had already opened the lid of the pot and served Liu Tangxi.

Liu Tangxi pursed her lips and sat down.

She felt that she was really tired last night and needed to replenish herself. Moreover, although she didn't really want to eat the supplement, the taste was so delicious that she couldn't help herself.

After Liu Tangxi drank one bowl, Nanny Cheng persuaded her again. She really couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so she couldn't help but persuade and drank two more bowls.

I didn't stop drinking until I felt a little disgusted.

"Mammy, didn't mother tell me to let my husband drink it too? Let's save the rest for him," said Liu Tangxi.

Nanny Cheng smiled and said, "Madam, I don't understand. Your soup is different from this. I'll have someone stew it this afternoon."

Liutang Creek...

However, thinking that Wei Hanzhou would suffer the same torture as her, Liu Tangxi felt a lot happier.

At noon, Wei Hanzhou was about to go out for lunch when he saw Dongsheng coming over again.

Wei Hanzhou's mood immediately improved a little.

It seemed that his wife had calmed down and started to bring him food again. However, she was really tired last night, and he didn't know how she was feeling today and whether she was too tired.

"What did your madam do today?" Wei Hanzhou asked.

Dongsheng smiled and said, "My wife brought some ornaments from the Marquis's Mansion yesterday. I'm going to the small garden to play drums today. I don't know where to put them."

Wei Hanzhou nodded. It seems that the lady is in good health.

In the evening, Wei Hanzhou returned home as soon as his shift was over.

He was originally in a good mood, but when he saw the tonic soup on the table, his mood changed subtly.

"Drink it. This is what mother prepared for us. Drink more." Liu Tangxi said with a smile.

She can't drink this tonic soup alone.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at her expression and refused, "You don't need to drink."

"Of course I don't need it. It's all from my mother's love." Liu Tangxi said with a straightened face.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at her and said meaningfully, "My wife will know whether your husband needs it or not tonight."

Liu Tangxi blinked, pretending not to understand, and said, "But this is what mom prepared. Are you really not going to drink it?"

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi and saw Nanny Cheng staring at him, so he picked up the cup and drank some.

A smug smile gradually appeared on Liu Tangxi's face.

However, although Wei Hanzhou spoke powerfully, he did not do anything that night, and instead made Liu Tangxi nervous for nothing.

However, after Wei Hanzhou drank the tonic soup for three consecutive days, Liu Tangxi finally tasted the taste.

On the fourth day, she woke up late for the rare occasion. After waking up, she was too sleepy to open her eyes. She said in a daze, "Mammy, don't prepare soup for Wei Hanzhou anymore."

This dog man turned into a wolfdog after he started having sex!

Madam Cheng smiled happily, thinking that the soup had taken effect, and said, "Well, that's good. My lord, don't drink it anymore, but you should still drink some, Madam."

Liu Tangxi covered herself with the quilt and pretended not to hear anything, but in her heart she cursed Wei Hanzhou countless times.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest was over. Because Liu Tangxi hired a suitable old farmer to farm, the harvest was 20% more than in previous years.

But the old farmer said that the soil here is fertile, and if it hadn't been delayed before, the harvest would have been even greater than it is now.

Liu Tangxi was very happy and praised everyone.

Liu Tangxi was generous and sensible, and the servants and farmhands working on the farm all liked this master very much.

After the autumn harvest, the apples and peaches in the fields were ripe.

The fruit shop has been set up, just waiting for the fruits to ripen.

As for the shopkeeper, she was the second manager in the shop of Marquis Huai'en's mansion, and this was arranged for her by Marquis Huai'en himself.

By the way, when Marquis Huai En learned that she was in charge of the farm and was planning to sell apples and peaches, he called the shopkeeper who sold fresh fruits in his home to come over and help her.

Liu Tangxi didn't understand much about these things. Instead of using other people, it would be better to use someone from the Marquis' Mansion.

In the end, Liu Tangxi kept the second manager.

The second steward went to the farm to take a look, tasted the apples, and then set the price at twenty cents per pound.

This price is a bit high for Liutangxi.

Previously, the highest price for apples from Wei Lao San’s family was seven cents, but that was the purchase price. When they were sold in the county town, they seemed to be ten cents per pound.

However, compared with the whole capital, the price is not too high. There are many shops that sell apples at a higher price than theirs.

Shopkeeper Hu seemed to understand what Liu Tangxi meant and said, "Madam, our apples are delicious and the price is not too high. Let's try selling them first. If they sell well, we can increase the price. If they don't, we can lower the price appropriately."

Moreover, then, Shopkeeper Hu told her a lot of business tips and mentioned the general price of apples in Beijing, which were mostly more than ten cents.

However, the shopkeeper Hu told her a lot of things with good reason.

Liu Tangxi was a little dizzy after hearing this, but was convinced by him.

She really didn't understand much of this, but she hadn't made up her mind at the moment, so she turned around and asked Wei Hanzhou, and then listened to the shopkeeper.

They decided to sell apples first and then peaches.

Yin took 100 kilograms of apples from her and gave some to the houses of officials she was familiar with.

When she was about to sell the apples, Liu Tangxi was quite nervous. Although she had sold things before, she was not the boss. She just provided technical support.

Now that I've sold it myself, I can't help feeling nervous, but rather than nervous, I'd rather be excited.

She knew her apple would be popular. She had confidence in what she had touched, but she had no idea to what extent it would be popular.

On the first night of opening, Liu Tangxi took a shower, lay on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to sleep due to excitement.

After lying in bed for about two quarters of an hour, I heard Wei Hanzhou, who was lying next to me, ask, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Liu Tangxi was startled. She thought Wei Hanzhou had fallen asleep a long time ago, but she didn't expect to wake him up.

Thinking that Wei Hanzhou had to go to court early tomorrow morning, Liu Tangxi quickly whispered, "Did I disturb you? Sorry, sorry, I'll go to bed right away."

Having said that, he closed his eyes.

However, Wei Hanzhou paused and said, "The apples grown by my wife are the most delicious apples I have ever eaten. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell them."

Before Wei Hanzhou could finish his words of comfort, Liu Tangxi said cheerfully, "I know, the apples I grow must be the most delicious in the world."

Wei Hanzhou...

It's a waste of time.

He thought she was nervous and worried because she was going to sell apples the next day and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sell them.

If it's not because of this, then what is it because of?

"Why can't the lady sleep?" Wei Hanzhou asked.

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi turned around, looked at Wei Hanzhou, and said excitedly, "I was thinking, I planted thirty acres of apples, about 160,000 to 170,000 catties. If I sell one catty for 20 coins, I can make more than 3,000 taels of silver. After deducting the cost, it's still a lot. So much silver can buy a lot of things! I can buy a big house in the capital, and I can also buy a shop. This is just apples, plus peaches, manors, etc. The lotus roots and the grains harvested previously can produce 5,000 to 6,000 taels this year. Oh my god, I can make 5,000 to 6,000 taels a year. Add the income from the shop and other farms, and it will be almost 10,000 taels. Next year, I will plant fruit trees on the mountain and other farms, and maybe I can make 20,000 taels a year, no, at least 30,000 taels. In a few years, I will be the richest man in the Dali Dynasty!"

Liu Tangxi became more and more excited as he spoke, as if the money was right in front of him.

Wei Hanzhou...

So, you can’t sleep because you are too excited?

"My wife can also make candied haws." Wei Hanzhou said.

Liu Tangxi said, "Yes, I have asked people to transplant hawthorns. I have planted a lot. Next year I can make candied haws. Not only candied haws, but also hawthorn cakes, hawthorn slices...all kinds of hawthorn food."

As he spoke, Liu Tangxi swallowed.

"The flowers in my wife's manor have grown, and I believe they are more valuable." Wei Hanzhou continued.

"Yes, yes, mother said that some of them are treasures, she didn't think I could grow them. One of those plants could be sold for ten taels, or even a hundred taels. My God, I planted more than one acre. Although not all of them are treasures, they can definitely sell for a lot of money. Next year I want to grow them all into treasures. I think, before next year, I can earn tens of thousands of taels this year." The corners of Liu Tangxi's mouth were almost stretched behind his ears.

"Madam, you can also grow medicinal herbs." Wei Hanzhou gave her some ideas.

"Ah, I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't told me. Yes, I can grow medicinal herbs. Those Ganoderma lucidum and Saussurea ovata, hahahahahahaha, one plant can make me rich." Liu Tangxi said excitedly.

She really didn't expect it.

If you can grow those precious medicinal herbs, selling them for money is secondary, but it can save lives and save people.

Just thinking about these things is exciting.

Wei Hanzhou is indeed smart.

"The Tianshan Snow Lotus grows in the Tianshan Mountains. The climate here is not suitable." Wei Hanzhou poured a basin of cold water.

But Liu Tangxi didn't care. If she couldn't grow this, she could still grow something else.

In short, Wei Hanzhou's idea is great.

Liu Tangxi excitedly hugged Wei Hanzhou's head and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Wei Hanzhou, you are such a clever little fellow."

Little clever ghost?

What is this?

Wei Hanzhou's face turned a little dark.

However——

How far is a kiss enough?

He was afraid that she would worry about the opening tomorrow, so he didn't dare to tire her out. But since she was so excited and couldn't sleep, he might as well do something else.

Soon, Wei Hanzhou turned over and faced inside.

Liu Tangxi was excitedly thinking about her dream of becoming the richest person in the world, but unexpectedly, Wei Hanzhou's handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her.

What is this guy doing? Wasn’t he just discussing the future with her?

Unexpectedly, while she was thinking about making money, this man had something else in mind.

"My husband is not a clever one." Wei Hanzhou suddenly looked at Liu Tangxi seriously and said.

Looking at him like this, Liu Tangxi wanted to laugh.

But after hearing the next sentence, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Because, Wei Hanzhou leaned over and whispered in her ear, "But I can give birth to a clever little boy with you."

As he spoke, Wei Hanzhou's kiss fell on Liu Tangxi's lips.

When it comes to kissing, the two are no longer novices and are much more experienced than before.

However, no matter how much experience she had, Liu Tangxi was still kissed by him until her face turned red and her mind was confused and excited.

As for the dream of becoming the richest man, I don’t know where it went.
