Chapter 62: The real daughter's plan failed and she found another way out
Facing each other day and night? There is nothing wrong with it, Su Qianqian thought, they are still mortal enemies!
After seeing off the three members of the Xue family, Mrs. Du immediately asked Su Qianqian to start preparing and buy a presentable gift for Lu Zhiqing. In fact, it was still to repay the kindness of Lu Zhiqing's brother.
This money came from Mrs. Du's private savings. After all, her son was able to come back alive, and as a mother, she was extremely grateful to Lieutenant General Lu.
Lu Zhiqing suppressed the joy on her brows and looked reluctant to leave, as if she had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the Qin family's sake.
No matter how good the Marquis' Mansion is, Lu Zhiqing is not the owner. There are more than ten young masters and young ladies here, so who is she?
Because adopting a foster daughter or sister out of gratitude always sounds a bit far-fetched, which makes others look down on them.
She originally thought that as long as she was smart and could deal with these generals' wives, it would not be difficult to find a stable position for herself.
She thought the Marquis's wife was pretty good.
Although Su Qianqian is extremely beautiful, she is always timid since the first time I met her. Especially when she sees Qin Hanzhang, she is afraid and worried that he will dislike her so she tries to please him and get close to him. Everyone can see her uneasiness.
It was originally a perfect plan, step by step to lure Qi Wanniang and Su Qianqian into the game, so that the Qin family, who had already accepted her, would become disgusted with her again, and even instigated Qi Wanniang and instigated Su Qianqian to force the Qin family to commit suicide.
For some reason, Su Qianqian seemed like a different person. Everything seemed to have nothing to do with her, but all problems were resolved because of her.
The Qin family completely changed their attitude towards her, and the scheme she had spent several months setting up was unraveled by Su Qianqian without making a sound.
Fortunately, I met Mrs. Xiao at the Lotus Banquet. Fortunately, my features resembled Mrs. Xiao. Fortunately, I met that person.
She instantly understood why she was at the Lotus Banquet. It turned out that all her struggles over the past ten years were just to get in front of him...
Lu Zhiqing was thinking about this, and Su Qianqian's mind was also in a state of confusion: How could the thing given to Lu Zhiqing look so high-end, but actually not be worth that much money, and others still think that the Qin family is generous!
Unable to calm down at this time, Lu Zhiqing stayed calm for a while after talking to Old Madam Qin and several other ladies, then returned to Wutong Courtyard.
Su Qianqian originally wanted to go back to the courtyard, but Qin Hanzhang talked about buying a farm for the families of soldiers who died in the battle.
"We have purchased six farms in total. The crops have almost been harvested now. Most of the lands willing to sell are poor in quality. Fortunately, the price is reasonable and the land deeds have been signed. We can have someone to buy the farms in half a month."
It seems that Qin Hanzhang is very concerned about this matter. Even though he is so busy with official duties, he still understands the matter clearly.
"In autumn, we harvest and store for the winter. There is not much to do in the farm. Apart from raising some livestock as income, we can't grow tomatoes in winter, right?"
Old Madam Qin didn't know what other surprises Su Qianqian would come up with. If it were someone else, she would have said with certainty that it was impossible. However, when she asked Su Qianqian, she left a way out.
"Grandma, it's not that we can't grow vegetables in winter, it's just a little more troublesome. But other people's families don't have vegetables in winter. If we can grow them on our farm, the selling price will be many times higher."
Su Qianqian thought that this was Xijing. The wealthy families only ate stored vegetables in the winter and many fresh vegetables were still not available. The palace and the princes' mansions could still taste some rare green vegetables due to the high transportation costs, but ordinary people could not eat them even if they had some money.
Therefore, by using the soil and water in the space to improve the soil quality, and then building greenhouses to grow off-season vegetables, if successful, huge profits will be made. Of course, her technology is not provided for free. Even if it is a public welfare project, investment in technology is also a cost.
"That's true, but how did you know this method?" Old Madam Qin asked cautiously, feeling inexplicably nervous.
"It is a book left by my mother. I read it when I had nothing to do and found it interesting, so I wrote it down." Su Qianqian also became alert, thinking that her vest must not fall off, but she didn't know that her vest had fallen to her ankles.
"I see. You must take good care of this book. It is truly precious," Old Lady Qin advised.
Qin Hanzhang glanced at Su Qianqian and nodded, unaware that he was exposing his inner thoughts in front of everyone every day.
"It would be best to find someone among them to summon the families of the fallen soldiers. I heard that our housekeeper Zheng is the one. She works diligently in the house and has never made any mistakes. It would be better to let her be the housekeeper. Her identity will also make it easier for people to believe."
Su Qianqian nominated the manager of this project again. She didn’t know anyone else, but she observed that Manager Zheng was serious about his work, so she recommended him.
"Since our mansion is in charge of this matter, we cannot be perfunctory. The heads and guards of various farms can be mobilized to assist, and they can be withdrawn once the farms are stable." Mrs. Du looked at Su Qianqian inquiringly.
"Mother is right, this is great." Su Qianqian answered carefully.
Her look made Mrs. Du laugh: "Qianqian is also tired, there is no need to rush, go back and rest first, you have worked hard today."
"It's not hard. It's all Qianqian's job." Su Qianqian stood up and said modestly, then took her leave and walked out with her back straight.
[My back aches and legs cramp, being in charge of household expenses is really not a job for humans. I guess those women in the back house are fighting for the power of household expenses in order to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits, or to do something unspeakable! 】
Su Qianqian complained in her heart as she walked, but when she turned around, she found Qin Hanzhang following her with pursed lips.
"What is your lordship doing?" Su Qianqian looked at the sky. It seemed to be just past noon.
"I'll take you back to the yard and give you the land deeds." Qin Hanzhang gestured to Shi Yan behind him, who quickly took out a roll of paper and held it in his hand...
Su Qianqian: ...This scroll is too expensive and heavy...
Su Qianqian was sitting in the sedan chair, and Qin Hanzhang was walking beside it with his hands behind his back. From the corner of his eye, he saw Su Qianqian's feet resting on the footrest of the sedan chair, moving gently one step at a time.
[In the small garden, dig and dig, plant small seeds and grow big melons...]
Qin Hanzhang listened silently, his fingers behind his back tapping lightly to the rhythm.
[System, why don’t you speak? Why didn’t I hear you eating melon today? 】Su Qianqian suddenly remembered this matter.
[Suppressed by the heroine's aura, I will have to lose too much merit if I want to eat melons. Last time, there were more people and the strength of her aura could be dispersed, but this time it won't be that easy. I need to become stronger! 】
The baby voice of the system is fierce.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you keep moving forward, you will eventually reach the top!" Su Qianqian said easily.
As soon as she finished speaking, a ball of white fur rolled out from under her skirt, rolled all the way under the footrest, and rolled to the ground in front. Even though the old woman carrying the sedan chair was strong and stout, she was so frightened that she trembled violently and almost threw Su Qianqian off the sedan chair.
Fortunately, the maids were well-trained and held back from screaming. They stood where they were, holding the sedan poles and not daring to move forward.
Su Qianqian watched the white ball expand, raised her silly face, and cried "woohoo" at her. She turned her head in fear to meet Qin Hanzhang's shocked expression: "It's not mine..."
