Chapter 340 Hibiscus Garden
The next morning, Lan Xiyue went to the disabled village again. For the next ten days, Lan Xiyue went to the disabled village every day. She used her medical skills to cure the villagers' long-standing hidden illnesses. She also installed prosthetic limbs for those who lost their limbs due to accidents, allowing them to stand up again.
Under the leadership of Lan Xiyue, they reclaimed the nearby barren mountains and wastelands one by one and planted seeds exchanged from the mall, especially sweet potatoes and potatoes. These drought-resistant and easy-to-grow crops allowed them to feed themselves in the coming year.
Lan Xiyue not only sent seeds, but also asked people to buy a large amount of food to ensure that the villagers would have enough food to eat through the winter.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the side quest was finally completed successfully. Twenty million points were finally obtained. On this day, Lan Xiyue lay lazily on the small couch with a bright smile on her face. The hard work for the past half month was not in vain.
"System, if only there were more missions like this, I could achieve freedom faster."
System: "This can only be unlocked if the host touches the task himself. The rewards for each task are different."
"System, how many points and merits do I have now?"
System: "Master, your total points are now 30.85 million, with 8,000 merits."
Lan Xiyue's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this. "There are actually eight thousand merits? These days of hard work have really not been in vain." Lan Xiyue sighed.
System: "Host, you can now upgrade your space by two levels. Do you want to upgrade your space?"
"Upgrade, must upgrade." She worked so hard to treat the villagers in the disabled village, wasn't it just to earn merit and upgrade space? Of course, the main thing was the 20 million points.
System: "Ding Dong! Space is being upgraded... Host, please wait."
Just as Lan Xiyue was immersed in the fantasy of upgrading the space, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and then Qian Duoduo's slightly angry face came into view.
"Yueyue..." There was some dissatisfaction in Qian Duoduo's voice, and he was obviously a little angry.
Lan Xiyue looked at Qian Duoduo in confusion, sat up, and asked softly, "Duoduo? What's wrong? Who bullied you? Why do you look so unhappy? Tell me, I'll vent your anger for you."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo walked over angrily and sat down next to Lan Xiyue, folding his arms across his chest. He said, "Yueyue, what are you talking about? These days, I come to play with you, and Brother Lan always says that you go out early every morning. Tell me, what have you been busy with these days?"
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly and explained, "Oh, I'm sorry, Duoduo. I've been quite busy these days. I go to the disabled village every day to treat the villagers."
"Ah!" Qian Duoduo opened his mouth in surprise when he heard that. Then he pouted and said, "It seems like you've been going to the disabled village these days. You didn't tell me, so I couldn't go with you."
Lan Xiyue gently waved her hand and said with a smile: "Oh! You, you won't be able to stay for half a day if you go there. I'm not going there to play, I'm going to treat them."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo propped up her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "That's true. Okay, I forgive you." Then, she raised her head, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She took Lan Xiyue's hand and said, "Come on, Yueyue, let's go to Hibiscus Garden. The eldest princess has opened the garden to the public these past few days, and many talented men and beautiful women have been there to play."
Lan Xiyue was slightly stunned and raised an eyebrow. "Hibiscus Garden? The eldest princess's?"
Qian Duoduo nodded. "Yes, in the past, when the princess held a flower viewing banquet, it was always held in the Hibiscus Garden. Although I was fascinated by it, I was not able to see it due to my status. I heard that the hibiscus flowers there are in full bloom, and the amaranths are dotted among them. It is a beautiful sight. But this year, the princess made an exception and opened it to the public. How could I miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Yueyue, will you accompany me?"
Lan Xiyue's lips curled up into a faint smile, but a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes: "Okay, let's go and take a look. I want to see what kind of charm this Hibiscus Garden has that attracts so many talented men and beautiful women."
The two of them walked out of the house hand in hand and got on the carriage.
Along the way, Qian Duoduo talked incessantly, describing the beautiful scenery of Hibiscus Garden in a poetic and picturesque way, as if they were already in that sea of flowers.
Lan Xiyue listened quietly, nodding in agreement occasionally, but secretly wondered in her heart what was so special about this Hibiscus Garden that the eldest princess cherished it so much and was willing to open it to the public.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Furong Garden was right in front of us. The garden gate was majestic, and many carriages were parked on the side, which showed that many people came to Furong Garden for sightseeing.
Qian Duoduo pulled Lan Xiyue out of the carriage and walked over excitedly, but was stopped by the guards.
"To enter Furong Garden, each person will receive two hundred taels of silver." The guard stretched out his hand to ask for it with an expressionless face.
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Two hundred taels of silver per person? I need silver notes to get in?"
The guard snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain: "Our eldest princess cherishes this Hibiscus Garden the most. It is a great gift to open it to the people of you to play in. Of course, we have to charge you. If you don't have money, get out of here and don't be an eyesore."
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly when she heard this. This eldest princess not only has a male lover, but she is not that stupid. She actually opened the Hibiscus Garden and charged admission. This is a good way to make money.
In modern times, many scenic spots charge admission fees. This may not be surprising in modern times, but it was rare in ancient times. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this eldest princess had traveled through time and space with modern business acumen?
Qian Duoduo waved his hand, and Xiaohong immediately understood. She quickly stepped forward, took out a few silver bills from her sleeve, skillfully counted out five and handed them to the guard opposite.
The guard took the banknote and flipped it nimbly with his fingers. After confirming that it was correct, his expression changed instantly, and his voice was filled with flattery: "Please come in, please come in."
Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes in disdain, pulled Lan Xiyue beside him, and walked in.
She whispered to Lan Xiyue, "Yueyue, has the Princess gone mad because of poverty? Did she open Hibiscus Garden just to make money? However, a mere few hundred taels of silver is nothing to me. For ordinary people, it's enough to cover a year's expenses."
Lan Xiyue heard this and smiled faintly, agreeing, "Yes, yes, our Miss Qian is very wealthy, so she certainly doesn't need this kind of money."
Qian Duoduo snorted in feigned anger: "Yueyue, you are teasing me."
Lan Xiyue raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking around, and whispered, "But then again, after the Princess's Mansion was bombed, they were able to come up with such a way to make money. They do have some financial acumen."
