Dao Xuzi’s mouth twitched, even if you have a lot of money, there’s no reason to eat ginseng like it’s rice, right? This girl, so domineering!
Yang Ruxin didn’t bother with him anymore and instead turned to leave for the Gu Family’s place, as she had to say goodbye to Gu Qingheng.
"It feels like the three days are going to be so long." Gu Qingheng had just finished breakfast and was preparing to take a medicine bath.
"How is it long? It’ll be over before you know it." Yang Ruxin smiled, "I’m also planning to look for a suitable house to buy over there if I can find one." Property is always the most value-retaining and fastest appreciating asset in any era.
But thinking of buying a house, she realized that there wasn’t much silver left in her space; she had spent nearly all of it recently. So later, she would just have to pull out another ginseng to sell, and then she wouldn’t have to worry about the house.
Yang Ruxin finally had a belated realization of feeling like a tycoon, being able to sell a few ginsengs and reach the level of buying a bowl of soy milk only to pour it away... Damn, that feeling was exhilarating! If she weren’t afraid of scaring Gu Qingheng, she would have liked to let out three loud laughs to the sky.
"I had Gu Yao book three top-tier rooms at Yuelai Inn under your name, and the room fees have been paid as well..." Gu Qingheng no longer dwelt on Yang Ruxin’s departure. Instead, he took her hand and instructed, "If anything happens, go to Feiyang Dart Bureau and find Jiang Zhen." He placed a wooden plaque in her hand as he spoke, "If he sees the wooden emblem, he will definitely help you with all his might." He had wanted Gu Yao to accompany her, but there were too many things to handle here and Feng Family couldn’t cope alone.
Yang Ruxin examined the yellow wooden plaque she was holding. Both sides were carved with two budding flowers, resembling plum blossoms, but that was just a bit more delicate craftsmanship, nothing special to the eye.
However, since Gu Qingheng gave it to her so seriously, she held it carefully: "Okay."
Gu Qingheng laughed. He had been worried she would refuse, but she accepted it straight away without even asking any questions. This relieved him and also made him proud. See, this was the wife he had chosen—so straightforward, so adorable...
The mule cart soon screeched as it left the village and headed towards the town.
Old Basket Uncle had made sure everyone would be comfortable, spreading out two quilts and even adding a cover over the cart to keep out the cold.
The kids were all excited, chirping about what the county town had to offer, what they would eat later, while Xun Hui was very nervous.
"Mom, it’s just a trip to the county town, why are you so nervous?" Yang Ruxin sat next to Xun Hui, glancing at her clenched hands.
"I... I don’t know." Xun Hui shook her head honestly, "I just feel a bit nervous..."
Yang Ruxin’s eyes flashed, then she patted Xun Hui’s hand, "It’s just a trip to the county town. The Fang Family won’t need you guys there. Relax. I heard the ready-to-wear clothiers and jewelry shops there are much better than those in our town. Buy whatever you like when the time comes..."
Xun Hui’s lips twitched into a stiff smile, but she nodded anyway. She didn’t know why she was so nervous; it just felt like something was going to happen.
On the edge of the town, Qian Er and Liang Zi were already waiting with a horse-drawn carriage. Seeing the mule cart coming, they hurried over, greeted Xun Hui and the others first, and then looked at Yang Ruxin with excitement, "Xin Sister, how do you like this horse carriage?"
