Chapter 37: Team Up
Steward Yuan did not dare read the contents, but when he saw the master's surprised expression, he was very curious about what was written on the paper brought back by Da Hui and Xiao Hei.
Nalan Jinnian glanced at the big bad wolf: "What do you mean by picking up this discarded paper?"
The big bad wolf immediately ran to a red jade qin and placed his feet on it.
Xiao Hei flew over, landed on the side of the qin, and nodded.
Nalan Jinnian's forehead jumped. Who raised this loyal dog?
He calmly folded the discarded paper and stuffed it in his sleeve:
"Steward Yuan, prepare the qin!"
Steward Yuan stared at him wide-eyed and confused when he heard this: "Master, this is your favorite qin."
This is a birthday gift from the former Emperor to the then three-year-old master! Not to mention priceless, but the significance is extraordinary!
The master has always cherished it!
"Do you think this prince's hand can still play the qin?" Nalan Jinnian walked to the desk, sat down, picked up a book, and started reading.
Steward Yuan: "..."
He glanced at the master's right hand, which was hanging down on one side, with heartache in his eyes.
"Yes, Master." He picked up the qin silently.
The big bad wolf also got up and ran back down the mountain. It hasn't eaten yet!
Xiao Hei also flew away, he wouldn’t stay to eat either. The food here is not something an eagle can eat!
When Nalan Jinnian was left alone in the study, he took out the crumpled paper from his sleeve, then unfolded and smoothed it out with one hand.
Nalan Jinnian sat at his desk looking at the paper, the calligraphy like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, bold and elegant. The expression on his face was thoughtful.
What a silver tongue!
Is it quite impressive to compose such eloquent words.
He took a closer look at the song, then put the two papers in a book and placed it inside the drawer.
Then he picked up the secret letter on his desk and read it.
At noon, everyone in the family came back, and the ten barrels of snails Wen Chun and Wen Hou took out to the villages were all sold out.
The family gathered around the Eight Immortals table and counted copper coins. That day they made a total of one tael and nine hundred and twenty copper coins, almost two taels of silver. The smile on the family’s faces would not disappear.
After lunch and a short break, the family continued to work non-stop.
In the afternoon, Wen Nuan went up the mountain again to give Nalan Jinnian acupuncture.
Feng Nianchen had been waiting for Wen Nuan outside the door. Steward Yuan wanted to say something to Wen Nuan, but when he saw Feng Nianchen holding the gold needles, he turned around and ran back into the house. He thought it was better not to show his face until Wen Nuan left.
In the study room...
Feng Nianchen was still watching from the side, facing someone's fiery gaze, and asking questions without shame.
Wen Nuan also teaches earnestly, answering all his questions.
After, Feng Nianchen felt that he still needs to experience the feeling of acupuncture himself in order to master the essence of it, and said: "Little girl, you pierce me, let me feel it."
Feng Nianchen was about to undress and climb onto the bed. Nalan Jinnian had just put on his clothes and looked at him coldly, his eyes smashing at him like icy scum in the twelfth lunar month: "Go back to your room and pierce yourself. Don't even think about climbing on my bed!"
Feng Nianchen was shaken by the icy scum glare, then remembered that this man has a serious habit of cleanliness!
Can't climb on his bed!
"Little girl, come with me, let's go to my room, you can help me with the acupuncture."
Nalan Jinnian: "..."
Why does he suddenly feel like killing?
Nalan Jinnian glowered, and he said gloomily: "Don't bother her, I'll help you, I've learned it!"
Feng Nianchen looked at someone's hostile and icy eyes, glaring at him like a jealous spirit: "No, I've learned it! Haha, I will go back and pierce myself!"
Feng Nianchen ran out in a hurry, then kicked open the door of Steward Yuan's room, and grabbed Steward Yuan.
A crying plead for mercy could be heard!
Wen Nuan packed up the gold needles, and said goodbye: "Then I will go home first, and come back tomorrow afternoon."
"Is selling spicy fried snails going well?"
Wen Nuan looked stunned, as if she didn't expect him to ask such a question, then nodded: "It's okay."
"Your food tastes good."
Wen Nuan: "???"
What happened to this person today?
She can't keep up with his brain circuitry!
"Uh, if you like to eat it, you can eat more."
"That's just what I was thinking."
Wen Nuan: "..."
She was only being polite!
“Uh, you're welcome, most welcome! Haha..."
"It’s true that I don’t have a cook here. Steward Yuan also doesn’t know how to cook. I want to team up with your household for ten taels of silver a month. I don’t know if it’s inconvenient?"
If conditions permit, Nalan Jinnian has never been a person willing to wrong himself.
No matter what!
On the contrary, he enjoys himself very much.
The most important thing is that he always feels this girl still has secrets, which makes him can't help but want to approach her to see what they are.
Team up? Ten taels of silver a month?
She has no reason to refuse this!
Anyway, I cook every day, all I have to do is add enough for one more person.
"Do you want to come to my house for three meals a day?"
Go down the mountain three times a day, isn’t he afraid of trouble?
"No, just let Da Hui and Xiao Hei go to bring it back, and Steward Yuan too."
"Okay." Wen Nuan agreed unreservedly, anyway, it's just a meal for one more person.
Considering the prey sent by Da Hui and Xiao Hei every day, she was too embarrassed to refuse.
Furthermore, the vegetables at home are all raised with purple qi, which has a certain effect on the recovery of consciousness in his hand.
"You don’t need to prepare separately, just make one more portion of whatever you usually eat."
Nalan Jinnian took out one ingot of silver and gave it to Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan accepted it unceremoniously: "Okay, then I will go back first, then let Da Hui bring you dinner."
"Hmm."
Nalan Jinnian glanced at Da Hui.
His master's food problem solved, Da Hui went to Wen Nuan's side in a happy mood, and flung his tail out in favor.
I will be able to eat well every day from now on!
Wen Nuan patted his head, then sat on the back of the wolf and left.
While passing by a yard, Wen Nuan heard an old wailing sound coming from inside. She shook her head: Steward Yuan is really spoiled!
What does it matter to be pierced?!
After leaving Feng Nianchen's yard, Wen Nuan had Da Hui take her around the mountains. She dug up a variety of spices, medicinal materials, wild fruits, and even found a tea tree.
When she got home, Wen Nuan intended to plant all the things she dug up in the backyard.
She wants to plant all kinds of medicinal herbs, vegetables, fruits, teas, spices and other lucrative crops in her backyard step by step.
These things will all be raised by her using purple qi, and will be developed as a fine health series of agricultural products. Then she will take the auction route.
Of course, avoid exhausting yourself, don’t sell too much every day, just auction on certain days of the month.
Since last time she heard Second Uncle talk about auctioning, she found out about the auction house in the county. Anything can be auctioned, and the commission is ten percent of the auction price.
She intends to cooperate with the auction house for a long time.
After planting all the medicinal materials, Wen Nuan harvested a few cucumbers, some green beans, and a pumpkin from the backyard, then started to prepare dinner.
In the evening, the sunset was like fire, and the western sky was covered with burning clouds, the red disk would not fall, and the whole world was bathed in golden sunlight.
A knock came from he bamboo courtyard door.
Dragons Flying, Phoenix Dancing: bold, lively calligraphy
Eight Immortals table: square table with bench seating on all four sides
