Traveling through the ancient times

When Manager Li returned to the third floor, Lu Mingqian was standing in front of the window looking out. From the window, he could just see the alley at the back door of Jinxiu Manor.

Lu Mingqian saw everything, including the scene of Chushul Hua trotting along with Jiang Ruixue to the carriage.

Lu Mingqian smiled and shook his head gently.

I thought, [This little girl is really interesting and special]

"Master, the two young ladies are gone. Eh... I am so tired. They walked too fast. I, an old man, couldn't catch up with them." Shopkeeper Li said while panting.

"How old are they? How old are you? Of course you can't outrun them." Lu Mingqian changed his serious and calm image and teased.

"Everyone has been young. When I was young, I walked with the wind." The old man retorted unconvincedly.

"Yes, yes..." Lu Mingqian agreed.

"Oh, this little girl left without saying goodbye. I was thinking of leaving her address so that we can contact her in the future, so that we don't have to ask the workshop to help deliver letters every time. But I didn't leave it..." Shopkeeper Li said after realizing it belatedly.

"It's okay. We know they are freshmen at the Golden Moon Academy. We can find them by going to the academy."

"Oh, yes."

"Uncle Li, you said the one delivering goods to the shop was from the workshop of the Yangshan Zhenjiang family?"

"Yes, Your Highness, it is the Jiang family, the maiden family of the Imperial Concubine. The Miss Jiang who came today is the only eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Ruixue."

"Then... which family does Miss Nian belong to?"

"I sent someone to check. Miss Nian is also from Yangshan Town, and from a small village called Pushi Village under Yangshan Town. Miss Nian's parents are ordinary farmers. Their family has been farming for generations. Her father works as a stonemason in the town, and her mother is at home taking care of a five-year-old brother."

"A farmer's daughter, how did she know the daughter of the Jiang family?" Lu Mingqian was puzzled. How did they get together? They seemed to have a good relationship, but they were not on the same level at all.

"According to the spies in the Voice Tower, two months ago, Miss Nian was nearly hit by a fast horse on the street in Yangshan Town. She was saved by Miss Jiang, and that's how the two of them got to know each other and came to the Golden Moon Academy together." Shopkeeper Li returned.

"So that's how it is... She's just an ordinary little girl from a small village, how could she have such strange ideas and say such inexplicable things..." Lu Mingqian recalled what Chushuhua said and did today. He had never seen a little girl like that before...

"This... I don't know. The spies said that her parents are quite normal. Maybe Miss Nian had some adventure..." Shopkeeper Li thought about Nianchuhua's behavior, and he couldn't understand it either...

"Where does she live when Qu Nan is not at the academy?"

"Miss Nian always goes back to the Jiang family with Miss Jiang on her days off."

"Does she have any other relatives or friends in Qunan?"

"Back to Your Highness, no."

“…Okay!” Lu Mingqian would never know that there was a soul from another world living in Nian Chuhua’s body.

"Uncle Li, write to the managers of the four places and tell them to be ready to contact Miss Nian at any time." Lu Mingqian ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will tell them all the details."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first." After giving the order, Lu Mingqian went downstairs.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

----------

In the carriage, the beginning of the year was embarrassing and scratching my head...

"I told you not to get carried away." When he was about to hit his right hand with his left hand, he said

"Ruixue, nothing will happen, right? The Third Prince won't think that I have offended him..."

"I don't think so. Isn't it said that the Third Prince has a good temper? He shouldn't mind...right?" Jiang Ruixue comforted her.

“May God bless you, may the Bodhisattva bless you, and may the Third Prince forgive my unintentional mistake.” Nian Chuhua prayed to the gods and chanted to himself, unable to let the money that was about to be in his hands fly away.

The third prince is my God of Wealth!

"Don't worry, I'm here with you, so nothing will happen to you." Jiang Ruixue said, turning into the patron saint of a nobleman.

"Luckily I have you, Ruixue..." Nianchuhua leaned her head on Jiang Ruixue's shoulder and continued

"Ruixue, you are really good at negotiating business. I never thought of asking those questions."

"Of course not. Do you think I have been living a life of idleness for more than a year? I have learned a lot from traveling around with my father." Jiang Ruixue said with her head held high.

"Yes, yes, I will ask you to be my advisor when I discuss business in the future, hehe..."

"But I have to charge for it," Jiang Ruixue said proudly.

"The little girl left home when she was young and has no money. Please, Miss Jiang, be merciful..." Chuanxihua was being shameless...

"Okay, since I'm from a wealthy family, I'm not short of money, so I'll just take a penny from you."

"Thank you, young lady." Nian Chuhua said in a coquettish voice.

Ouch...so corny...

Hahaha…

Mingyue listened to the laughter coming from the carriage curtain and couldn't help laughing too...

Return to Jiang Mansion

The two of them walked through the corridor towards the main hall.

"Mingyue, ask someone to see if the butler is in the mansion. Ask him to go to the front hall and tell him that I have something to talk to him about," Jiang Ruixue ordered.

Mingyue said yes, turned around and called a little maid not far away, told her to find the housekeeper, and followed Jiang Ruixue to the front hall.

In just a cup of tea, the butler came over.

"Miss, what do you want from me?" the butler stepped forward and bowed.

Jiang Ruixue told the housekeeper about the business that had been negotiated today, and asked him to send people with drawings and samples to various places as soon as possible to speed up the production. He also had to brief the managers of the workshops in various places and contact the local Jinxiu Zhuang as soon as possible to arrange delivery.

After hearing this, the housekeeper's eyes lit up and he praised, "Miss, you are indeed the master's daughter. You are really amazing and a good material for business!"

Jiang Ruixue was embarrassed by the praise, and she touched her nose and said, "It's all Chuhua's credit. I just gave some ideas and passed on the message."

"Miss Chu Hua is so capable at such a young age. I admire her." After hearing Jiang Ruixue's words, the old housekeeper bowed to Chu Hua again.

"No, no, we still have a lot to learn. If there is anything we did wrong, or if you have a better idea, please let us know." Chuanchuhua said modestly.

"Well, well, well... The young are formidable, and the young ladies are all very smart. You are still young, and you have plenty of time. If you study slowly, you will become great in the future." The old housekeeper sighed.

"Oh, by the way..." The old housekeeper remembered something else, "The house that Miss Chu Hua asked me to keep an eye on has found some clues."

Draw a surprise at the beginning of the year, "Where?"

"It's in an alley on Huaihua Street, in a house with only one entrance. The family has had several new members in the past two years and can no longer accommodate them. They just moved to a bigger house and wanted to sell the house for some money so that the whole family can live more comfortably." The housekeeper told Nianchuhua what he had learned.

"How much do they want for it?"

"The asking price is 450 taels. The middleman lowered the price, and I went over to negotiate. Finally, they agreed to sell it to you for 380 taels. When you are free, you can go over and take a look to see if you like the house." said the housekeeper.

Nianchuhua looked at the sky outside, thinking that after today he would have to go to the academy for ten days of classes. Time waits for no one. If this house is really good and he missed it, it would be difficult to find it again next time.

So he said to the housekeeper, "It's still a while before dark, can I go and see it today?"

"Of course, I have already informed the middleman, you can come and see me anytime."

"Okay, let's go now."

The housekeeper called the servant to notify the middleman, and then followed Nian Chuhua and others out of the house.
