[Ding—Mission complete. Have a pleasant journey, host!]
After He Nian moved to the town, many villagers wanted to sell their goods there, but when they inquired about the costs, they worried about losing everything and were reluctant to take the plunge. They enviously thought that He Nian was lucky to have met Mingyue.
And that was indeed the case, to the point that He Nian agreed wholeheartedly when she heard the news. Wasn't it all thanks to Mingyue?
After that, Mingyue also moved to the town, and occasionally went to the neighboring town. In ancient times, horse-drawn carriages traveled slowly, and a round trip would take a month.
He Nian, with a sour face, dragged Gong Yu to find Mingyue. She didn't want to bring this person to see Mingyue, but this person was like a leech that she couldn't get rid of.
Especially since she had just bought a store in a good location at a low price, and the store owner was in a hurry to sell it and wanted full payment, she thought she had gotten a bargain.
As soon as the transaction was completed, it was discovered that the store had already been bought by Gong Yu, and the owner was just going through the motions.
If she ever tries to take advantage of something like this again, she's a dog!
She said it!
Mingyue stepped down from the carriage and ate some local snacks from the neighboring town. "Come in."
Gong Yu had inquired about Mingyue's preferences and knew that she loved to eat, so he specially had someone search for a pair of snacks. With Mingyue's consent, he carried the snacks inside with He Nian.
When Mingyue turned around and looked at the scene, she had a strange feeling that it was like a daughter returning home to her parents' home.
"Tell me about it."
Gong Yu handed the items to the guard Lin beside him, and respectfully gave Mingyue a small booklet, not daring to put on any airs of a prince.
He didn't know why, but even though the woman in front of him had a smile on her lips and was gentle as water, she had an aura that made people afraid to provoke her.
"These are the terms I can offer you. If there are any others, please feel free to ask."
Mingyue opened the booklet and looked at the dozen or so preferential treatments listed. They were indeed quite good. She casually placed the booklet on the table, resting her elbow on the table and propping her forehead up. "Add one more: once you sit down, women should be encouraged to engage in commerce."
Gong Yu frowned subconsciously. Although Yue Kingdom did not have laws prohibiting women from engaging in commerce, it would not be an easy thing to truly open it up. "I cannot guarantee you this, but I will dedicate my life to this, and it will not only involve women engaging in commerce."
Actually, after spending these past few days with He Nian, he suddenly discovered some insights in her that he couldn't see in any man; he saw them in a woman.
Even though most doctors in the world are men, it seems that no one would say that women can also practice medicine.
The main room fell silent. He Nian remained silent, but glanced at Gong Yu, who at least had some self-awareness.
After a long time, Gong Yu felt that the matter was going to fall apart, and Mingyue finally agreed.
Gong Yu realized what was happening, immediately bowed, and thanked He Nian, saying, "Thank you."
He Nian trembled slightly, feeling a bit nauseous at being treated so formally. She hadn't forgotten how shameless this scoundrel was. "I didn't do anything."
Gong Yu's starry eyes were full of tenderness and affection, which made He Nian feel a chill and she made an excuse to run away.
Mingyue's lips curled slightly. "When we have the wedding banquet, could you arrange a table for me alone?"
Gong Yu's ears turned bright red. Was he being too obvious? He cleared his throat, maintaining his composure, and said, "Okay."
"Here, if you want money, just take this to get it."
Mingyue tossed Gongyu a specially made wooden plaque, exquisitely carved with the character "Ming" engraved on it. Gongyu solemnly accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
