Zi Die blinked at Su Wenxiu and looked at him with anticipation. Since she liked him, she would get close to him by helping him with the medicinal cuisine shop.
Although Su Wenxiu was only nineteen, he thought about how he looked when he was Zi Die’s age. He seemed to understand her feelings better now. After all, he was just as sincere and pure as Zi Die at her age.
Su Wenxiu’s heart softened when he faced her. He then said, “All right, that sounds good.”
Zi Die could hear everything in the bustling food street. She smiled brightly when Su Wenxiu agreed. She asked, “Does that mean you’ll teach me how to cook?”
Su Wenxiu gently responded, “I’ll teach you as long as you’re willing to learn.” Zi Die’s heart skipped a beat from excitement. “Thank you, Professor.” Her thoughts were undeniable through her expression. Su Wenxiu smiled as he looked at her and said, “Let’s go in and eat.”
When the duo entered, the waitstaff led them to a window seat on the second floor. The noodle shop had two floors with many neatly arranged tables and chairs to accommodate many people.
The customers were considerate and would eat quickly. They would then leave after eating as many others also came to eat.
“What would you like to eat?” a waitstaff asked.@@novelbin@@
“We’ll have two bowls of pickled fish noodles, please,” Su Wenxiu said.
“All right, please wait a moment while we prepare your food.”
The pickled fish noodles were Big Bowl Noodles’ most famous dish. Still, the service was quick, and the customers did not have to wait for a long time. Before long, the waitstaff brought two bowls of pickled fish noodles.
“Please enjoy.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Thank you!” Zi Die was thrilled to see the dish in front of her. She could not help but feel excited because Su Wenxiu sat before her.
The latter’s expression softened when he saw how cheerful Zi Die was. “Hurry up and eat before it gets cold.”
“Okay, Professor. Join me.”
As the two ate, Zi Die looked up at Su Wenxiu and realized how elegant he looked, even though he ate quickly. He did not even make a sound when he ate the noodles, but Zi Die was.
“What’s wrong?” Su Wenxiu asked, sensing Zi Die’s gaze.
The latter blushed, shook her head, and awkwardly said, “No, I’m just a little less graceful when I eat.”
Su Wenxiu said, “Not at all. I think it’s more fragrant when you slurp the noodles. I do the same thing at home.”
He would be less graceful when eating at home but would restrain himself a little when eating outside. Whenever Su Binglan cooked, the whole family would eat enthusiastically.
Zi Die sighed in relief when she saw Su Wenxiu’s gentle expression. At that moment, Su Wenxiu looked at the beautiful scenery through the window. He could see the bustling food street and even Su Teng Village in the distance.
The spring breeze was warm, and summer would arrive in a few months. The wind would blow by and caress people’s faces, making them feel the breath of spring.
After the meal, Su Wenxiu sent Zi Die back to the medical school while he went home.
When Su Binglan got home, she prepared lunch for her parents. The older couple looked forward to having their daughter’s food again. One of them asked, “Did you get a new ingredient from Yang County?”
Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were also excited when Su Binglan returned. After all, she would always have something new to cook after returning from her travels.
Su Binglan smiled and said, “I’ll make tomato eggs and chicken popcorn for lunch. We can eat them with ketchup. I’ll also make pork ribs.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengmao and the others became hungry just thinking about it. Su Wenzhe curiously asked, “What do tomatoes look like, Sister?”
Su Binglan took out the tomatoes she had brought from Yang County. She had stored and planted many of them in her pocket dimension’s fields. That way, the tomatoes would overgrow, and the family could eat them whenever they wanted to.
The family was stunned when they saw the tomatoes. After all, they had never seen such a thing. “Those are the tomatoes, Binglan?”
“Yeah, why do they look like fruits? How will you use them when cooking the eggs?’
The family thought fruits were not a cooking ingredient. Instead, it was something they ate off of trees.
Su Binglan said, “Although tomatoes are fruits, using them as a cooking ingredient is better. It’ll make the eggs taste different compared to the egg dishes we typically have. You’ll know what I mean once you taste it.
“Also, these bottles here have ketchup in them. It’s a sauce I made from tomatoes. Dip your food in them when you eat later.”
The family knew tomatoes were good stuff after listening to Su Binglan’s explanation. They then took the initiative to help her cook.
“Sister, I’ll gather the firewood for the fire,” Su Wenzhe said as he rushed out of the house.
“Sister-in-law, should I wash the tomatoes?” Liu Yinyin asked while holding the tomatoes. “I’ll go wash them now.”
Su Fengmao returned to his senses and said, “Binglan, you said you’d make ribs, right? I’ll prepare them right away.”
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua went to prepare the chicken for the popcorn chicken dish. With the family’s help, Su Binglan could finish her work quickly.
When the food was almost ready, Shen Qiuhua thought of Su Wenxiu and asked, “By the way, why isn’t your brother back yet?”
She remembered him and Su Binglan visiting Yang County together, so she was curious as to why he did not return with Su Binglan.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “Second Brother went to eat with one of his students.’
Shen Qiuhua was puzzled. “Why is he eating with his student?”
She and her husband did not overthink it.
Su Binglan smiled mysteriously, saying, “It’s okay. That student is a little unique. Wenxiu will put in more effort with her in the future.”
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao would know Su Binglan’s meaning when the time came. Su Binglan thought Su Wenxiu had an excellent student in Zi Die. She felt Su Wenxiu would eventually like Zi Die back..

When Su Binglan finished cooking, the whole family sat at the dining table to eat. They all realized how delicious the tomato eggs were.
“It’s so tasty, Sister,” Su Wenzhe praised, “Tomatoes are completely different from other vegetables.”
Shen Qiuhua took a few bites and nodded. “I’ve stir-fried many vegetables before, but some aren’t suitable with eggs. Still, the tomatoes you brought back are perfect, Binglan.”
Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin dipped the chicken popcorn into the ketchup and took a bite. She then became wide-eyed as she said, “The ketchup is delicious, too!”
Although she could not describe the taste, she knew it differed from the usual sauces the family used at home. The ketchup tasted sweeter than what she was used to.
“The ketchup goes well with the pork ribs, too! As expected, tomatoes are excellent ingredients to use for cooking.”
Su Binglan said, “We’ll make noodles with tomatoes later. Tomato soup with
noodles is just as tasty.”
The family looked forward to their next meal. After eating, the family sat together and discussed what had happened in the past month.
“Everyone has planted their potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, and other crops. The waterwheel played a significant role in irrigation. We’ve also rented out all the shops you’ve built, except the ones you kept for our use.
“It didn’t take long for us to rent out those shops. More people want to rent shops, but we ran out of space.” Shen Qiuhua became emotional as she spoke.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan had built many shops, and Shen Qiuhua was worried that they could not rent them all out. The latter did not expect so many people to be renting them.
The main reason for that was the foot traffic. As long as one’s food tasted good, business would be good.
Su Fengmao added, “We’ve sold most of the residential houses, but there are some left. Some people even paid us a deposit and asked us to give them some time to save up.
“Su Teng Market has even doubled in size. The initial area was insufficient, so we extended it to the east road. Now, the market has even reached the embroidery shop. Fortunately, the road there is spacious.”
Su Binglan learned about the changes that had occurred in the village through her family’s explanation. The villagers had finished planting their spring crops and returned to work at the factories.
The family had rented out all the shops on the food street, farmers’ market, and shopping malls. Business was booming, too, as many strolled around to buy things.
The paper mill and printing factory had become well-known to the villagers, and many rushed to buy paper. The two factories were vast and had many employees. One could produce high-quality yet affordable paper, while the other could quickly print books.
Even though the paper mill and printing factory had many workers, they found it hard to meet the demands.
The printing factory would run all day. Countless people came to order books, while some came to purchase books. Since that was the case, Su Binglan considered hiring more workers to meet the people’s demands.
She said, “I’ve built several factories around here, so I’ll use two vacant ones to expand the paper mill and printing factory. I’ll build another paper mill and printing factory in the prefecture.”
If Su Binglan also built the cement factory in the prefecture, she could transport the cement to other places to repair the roads. She also planned to build a beverage and canned food factory in Apricot Mountain Village.
Su Binglan could get her subordinates to do these things instead of doing it herself like last time. She only needed to draw up some design plans. Since she had nurtured a group of subordinates, they could handle the heavy work and save her some time and effort.@@novelbin@@
Shen Qiuhua said, “It might not be enough, even if we have a few more factories. So many people are buying paper now. Foreign merchants know about our paper mill and are rushing her to make orders. It’s crazy over here.” She had witnessed how hectic it was in the paper mill and printing factory.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengmao said, “Of course, the paper we produce is cheap and of high quality. The merchants can make a lot of money by reselling our paper, even if they sell cheaply.”
He felt just as emotional as his wife when he spoke. He did not expect the paper mill’s profits to be so high. Moreover, many more students could afford to buy and use paper now.
The library even provided convenience for everyone. Most no longer needed to buy books. Instead, they could visit the library to study and gain knowledge.
Some books were not even available elsewhere but in the library.
Therefore, students enjoyed reading at the library during the weekends. Now, many foreigners wanted to settle down in Su Teng Village.
“Sister, everyone was ecstatic about buying houses here,” Su Wenzhe said, “There are so many residential houses, yet we’ve sold almost all of them. Even the houses in Tenghe Town are popular now.
“The prices of many houses there have risen, too. In the past, people could buy a house with a few dozen silver. Now, the price has doubled.”
Su Binglan raised her brow, asking, “It has doubled?”
She knew it would put pressure on the people if the housing prices were too high.
“Some houses are sold at a high price in private, but the county magistrate controls the prices. Also, your residential area is cheap. Everyone is willing to move there because of the safe and lively environment. Still, there aren’t enough houses.”
Although Su Binglan had built many houses, she did not expect them to be so popular. People had realized the prosperity and convenience of Su Teng Village.
Living and working there was convenient. The surrounding facilities were complete, too. Just outside the houses were the farmers’ market and convenience stores.
If people wanted to buy some food, they would only have to walk a few steps.
They did not even need to take carriages or oxcarts. Not to mention, the Grand Theater and medical school were there, too.
There was also a comprehensive college Su Binglan had built beside the medical school. She had built it to nurture students who were talented in embroidery, cooking, agriculture, management, and so on.
After graduating from college, the students could easily find jobs in the Su family’s businesses. Many parents knew about the college and rushed to send their children there.
Everyone had realized how important it was to have skills such as embroidering, managing, cooking, and so on..

“Are there still not enough houses?” Su Binglan softly asked.
Shen Qiuhua said, “There isn’t. Most of the houses are bought by those who came from the prefecture to work for us, and some are from the neighboring county.
“Some even live far away and want to save up before buying a house in the residential area. We never expected the area to be so popular. It’s only been a month, yet we’ve almost sold all the houses.”
Su Fengmao sighed, saying, “The houses are popular because of their convenience. If we hadn’t restricted each family to buying only one house, we would have sold out in just a few days.”
Many wealthy businessmen saw the opportunities in Su Teng Village and planned to buy more than ten houses at once. After all, the houses were well-built and cheap.
Fortunately, Su Binglan had set certain rules beforehand. Those who had a household registration in Teng County or worked for the Su family had priority in buying houses.
As for the foreign businessmen, they had to go through a review before being able to buy a house. They had to be of good character before moving to Su Teng Village.
That was because those who lived in the residential area were equivalent to becoming Su Teng villagers. Chief Su would always ensure only people of good character could move to the village.
To ensure the people’s safety, those who bought the houses in the residential area had to have clean backgrounds.@@novelbin@@
Su Binglan had told her subordinates to hire real estate agents and instruct them to do background checks before allowing people to buy houses there.
Ads by Pubfuture Because of that, everyone knew they were safe.
Everyone was enthusiastic when they bought the houses. However, there were not enough houses.
Su Binglan said, “l have plenty of land. If there aren’t enough houses, I can use the vacant land to build more. I also have land in Tenghe Town to use.”
Su Wenzhe asked, “If that’s the case, the residential areas in town will be just as popular as the one here, right?”
Su Fengmao said, “Of course it will. Even if people live in Tenghe Town, it’s still close to Su Teng Village’s development zone. It won’t take long to travel to and from the town to the village.
The area where Su Binglan had built the residential area was called Su Teng Village’s development zone. With that, the whole family understood what was happening.
Shen Qiuhua nodded. “You’re right. It’s still beneficial to live in town. Su Teng
Village development zone is within walking distance, after all.”
Su Binglan said, “In that case, I’ll go to town and buy some more land. I’ll then design and plan another residential area for Xueye to build. After settling some things here, I’ll make a trip to the capital.”
The family was shocked when they heard the last part. “Binglan, why are you going to the capital?”
“Sister, it’s dangerous there.” Su Wenzhe’s heart pounded. He was a little worried about his sister.
“Why would you want to go there?” Liu Yinyin was just as surprised as the others. She could not bear to let her sister-in-law go to the capital. Instead, Liu Yinyin felt more at ease if Su Binglan stayed home.
Su Binglan said, “Yeah, didn’t I promise Uncle Qiuhui I’ 7yng76g vb d visit him? I had to handle some things first, but since the weather is warmer now, I can finally visit him. I can even expand my business to the capital.”
Ads by Pubfuture She said those things to comfort her parents but had other things to settle in the capital. She had to get revenge. “You don’t have to worry about me. I can protect myself.”
The whole family knew how capable Su Binglan was. Even so, they could not help but worry about her.
Shen Qiuhua knew her daughter had plans and arrangements for everything she did. Moreover, Su Binglan’s tone was firm and confident as she spoke.
Shen Qiuhua was silent for a while before saying, “I guess that’s good. You can visit the capital since your uncle is also there to protect you. The Shens are one of the six great families there, no matter what. They can protect you with their vast influence.’
The Shen family had changed from the past. The family was split due to their internal strife, but with Shen Qiuhui’s control, the family became highly unified. He could quickly mobilize his forces and influence to protect his niece.
Su Wenzhe was still worried, asking, “Sister, do you need me to come with you?
He felt he had not done much for his sister, even though he was her eldest brother. On the contrary, Su Binglan did a lot for him.
Although Su Wenzhe did not want to leave the village after his sister saved him last time, he gathered his courage to protect her. Moreover, Su Wenwu had never traveled far in the past but was now doing well in the South.
Liu Yinyin nodded thoughtfully, “Binglan, we’ll go to the capital together if you need us.”
Su Binglan felt warm inside when she saw her family’s response. She said softly, “Don’t worry. There won’t be any problems. If there are, I’ll send you all a letter.’
She seemed to have thought of something and added, “Oh, Mother, I plan to get someone to build a canned food factory and beverage factory in your godparents’ village. It’ll be beneficial to them.”
Shen Qiuhua was happy to hear that. “That’s great! My godmother won’t have to worry anymore once Apricot Mountain Village develops. I want my godparents to have prosperous lives, too.
“Also, my godparents visited us while you and Wenxiu were in Yang County. They brought us plenty of mung beans and bean sprouts. They’re doing much better now since they’re earning quite a bit. My godparents can’t stop smiling.
“They’re very grateful to you,” Shen Qiuhua smiled as she spoke. After all, her godparents were her family, too, so she hoped for the best for them. She was delighted and felt a sense of relief that they were doing well.
Su Binglan asked in surprise, “They visited when I was away?”

Su Binglan had an excellent impression of her mother’s godparents. She had planned to cook for them when she went to pay her New Year’s greetings.
Shen Qiuhua nodded. “Yeah, but I was a little upset that you weren’t around.
My godparents missed you. They only considered visiting after the plowing season.”
Su Binglan asked, “Did you bring them around the village?”
“Of course I did. I brought everyone to have some food and watch the plays.
My godmother loved watching the dramas at the Grand Theater.” Shen Qiuhua was delighted when she spoke about her godparents.
She felt she could finally repay her godparents’ kindness. It was unlike the past when she constantly worried about them but could barely help. However, she felt relaxed and at ease now that she could treat them well.
“Lin Qin and Shen Gang did not expect Su Teng Village to be so well developed,” Su Fengmao said with a smile, “They were relieved when they took a look around.
“l noticed how much they enjoyed themselves, so we offered to let them stay. However, they insisted on returning to Arpicot Mountain Village. I think they’ve grown to treat that place as their home.
Ads by Pubfuture “Lin Qin and the others are making plenty of money by selling their mung bean sprouts. They’ve even bought extra land and built a big house for themselves.
“Shen Gang and the family needed to plant so many mung beans that they had to hire people to help. Now, they won’t be so tired and can feel much more relaxed.’
Su Binglan nodded. “That’s good to hear. There’s now a courier station here, so we can send them some things in the future.”
Liu Yinyin excitedly said, “The courier station is perfect, Binglan. My parents like how convenient it is to deliver things to their relatives. That way, they can maintain their kinship.”
Shen Qiuhua agreed, “You’re right. If only we had that station in the past. Still, we’re grateful to have it now. Anyone in the village can utilize it.”
Su Fengmao praised, “l like the convenience of the courier station, too. The illiterate villagers can get the couriers to write and send letters for free.”
Su Wenzhe chimed in, “Yeah, even the factory workers speak highly of the courier station.”
Shen Qiuhua smiled, saying, “Most of the paper mill and printing factory workers are from the prefecture. Since they have relatives in the prefecture, they can send letters to catch up with each other.”
Su Binglan listened attentively as her family spoke. Later that afternoon, she went to the town to buy land, drew a blueprint, and then handed it to Su Xueye to build another residential area.
Su Binglan even wrote another play called “The General’s Biography.” She adapted the Wei family’s experiences into a touching story. She had also set up its production earlier to return the family’s glory.
After all, the commoners did not know the details of what happened in the war three years ago. The Imperial Court had spread the word of the Wei family conspiring with the enemy to rebel, and some commoners believed it. Su Binglan was confident the people would know the truth about the Wei family once she released the play. She knew the will of the people was the more crucial thing.
Once the emperor lost the people’s trust, it would be hard for him to regain it. Su Binglan wanted to expose the Crown Prince’s misdeeds and clear the Wei familys name.
She knew the play would cause a sensation and how crucial public opinion was. Coincidentally, she considered opening a newspaper office. Still, she had to discuss it with Lan Ruozhu first.
Ads by Pubfuture That afternoon, Su Wenxiu went to the Grand Theater to watch a play. The employees even ushered him to his seat. However, he realized someone was sitting beside him.@@novelbin@@
Su Wenxiu was shocked when he saw Zi Die. “Zi…Die, what are you doing here?”
Zi Die was surprised when she looked beside her. “Professor? One of the employees sent me a letter saying I won a ticket to watch a play for free. Look, I have the ticket with me.’
There was a seat number on the ticket, so she was excited that she could sit in the VIP section to watch the play. She also heard that the view and sounds were the best in the VIP section.
Nonetheless, Zi Die did not expect Su Wenxiu to sit beside her. She was thrilled when she saw him. Although she just had lunch with him, she could now watch a play with Su Wenxiu.
Zi Die’s heart pounded as she remained in her seat. She was a little absent-minded when she returned to the medical school just now. All she could think about was Su Wenxiu.
Su Wenxiu helplessly sighed when he saw the girl’s surprised and adorable expression. He had already suspected that his sister had set this up.
He looked at Zi Die, who seemed a little nervous, and asked, “Do you like watching dramas, too?”
Zi Die nodded and said, “Yeah, I like them very much. I’ve never watched such a well-written drama before. My classmates also love watching them.
Everyone cried after watching one of the plays.” Su Wenxiu raised his brows and asked, “Did you cry, too?”
Zi Die nodded in embarrassment. “Yeah, I did.’
Su Wenxiu became even more intrigued when he heard her words. After all, he had never watched the two new plays. He became curious about them when he heard about the plays from the passersby in town. He could not wait to watch the plays, mainly because his sister had written them.
The duo had a simple conversation before the curtains on the stage below opened and lights shined from the stage. Su Wenxiu was surprised, wondering if this was what it was like to watch a play in the Grand Theater.
He had a clear view of the stage, and the auditory effects were excellent from his seat. He then looked at the first-floor seats and noticed how many people were there.
Everyone clapped and cheered as soon as the curtains opened.. The atmosphere was impactful as Zi Die held her popcorn and looked at Su Wenxiu, asking, “Professor, would you like some?”

Initially, Su Wenxiu did not notice Zi Die holding a bag of popcorn. He looked down and asked, “Is that popcorn?”
“Yeah,” Zi Die answered before he could even finish his question. “People can buy popcorn and snacks at the ticket office. People typically enjoy having snacks while watching the play, so I bought some. The popcorn here is pretty tasty. Would you like to try some, Professor?”
“Of course. Thank you.” Su Wenxiu nodded.
“You don’t have to thank me. You treated me to lunch just now, after all.”
Moreover, Su Wenxiu had helped cure Zi Die’s mother once, so the girl considered her professor her family’s benefactor. Zi Die’s heart raced as she sat beside Su Wenxiu.
She handed a bucket of popcorn to Su Wenxiu, and the latter tried some. The popcorn here differed from the ones he used to it. These were sweeter and crunchier.
He did not need to guess to know that his sister had taught the employees to cook and sell popcorn at the theater. Su Wenxiu had to admit it was pretty good to have a snack while watching the play.
“It tastes good.” Su Wenxiu only wanted to have a taste. When he returned the popcorn to Zi Die, he accidentally touched her fingers.@@novelbin@@
At that moment, Zi Die felt a tingling sensation shoot from her palm to her heart. Whenever she saw Su Wenxiu at school, she would have the same tingling sensation, and her heartbeat would quicken.
Zi Die blushed until even her ears reddened. Fortunately, they were in the theater, or Su Wenxiu would have noticed it.
Soon, the play began. The last play Zi Die watched was The Cow Herder and Weaver Girl. This time, the performers reenacted The Perfect Match. Zi Die could not help but cry at the end of it.
She cried silently but felt warm inside. Even Su Wenxiu became emotional as he watched the play. Although the girl was silent, Su Wenxiu noticed she was crying because he was right beside her.
Su Wenxiu asked softly, “Are you crying?”
He was at a loss as he looked on. After all, he did not know how to comfort Zi Die. He even felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Su Wenxiu realized he did not want the girl to cry.
Usually, he would always feel happy whenever he saw Zi Die. The girl always had a bright smile and had never cried. She hurriedly wiped her tears when she heard Su Wenxiu’s voice.
She was embarrassed and wished she could hide in a hole. ‘Why am I crying when Professor Wenxiu is here? I look horrible when I cry.’ “No, I wasn’t,” Zi Die hurriedly said, “I’m okay, Professor.”
She tried to calm down and wiped her tears. However, she did not notice how choked up she sounded.
“Here, use this to wipe your tears.” Su Wenxiu removed a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Zi Die.
The latter took the handkerchief and placed it in her palm, reluctant to use it to wipe her tears. Moreover, the handkerchief had a faint herbal fragrance, which seemingly came from Su Wenxiu.
Although Zi Die was reluctant, she ultimately wiped the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief. She thought Su Wenxiu would find it strange if she simply held it.
After the play, the dup left the theater and saw the sunset illuminating the entire sky. The red sunlight was mesmerizing as it shined on the duo. Zi Die looked up at Su Wenxiu and thought he looked particularly handsome at that moment.
Su Wenxiu lowered his gaze and saw the girl’s reddened eyes. He did not know why, but he felt a sense of tenderness in his heart. He then remembered having some candy in his pocket, so he took one and handed it to Zi Die.
The girl was in disbelief as she pointed at herself and asked, “Is that for me, Professor?”
“Yeah, it is. Don’t cry so much, okay? Your eyes are red now.” Su Wenxiu did not want to see Zi Die cry and wanted to cheer her up.
Zi Die was delighted as she immediately smiled. Su Wenxiu sighed in relief when she saw her smile. “Thank you, Professor. Umm, do you…”
Zi Die wanted to ask if Su Wenxiu liked her back. However, she sensed his heartache when she looked into her eyes. Zi Die blinked and rubbed her eyes
to ensure she was not hallucinating. Immediately after, her smile became even brighter.
That evening, Su Binglan and her parents went to check out the mountain. When they reached the top and looked down, they saw crops all over the place below. In more than a month, the seeds had sprouted and thrived.
The trio could see the lushness from afar, giving them the feeling of spring. It was a season for all living things to grow, after all.
Shen Qiuhua said, “Not only are the people of our village prospering, but those in the surrounding villages have planted their potatoes and sweet potatoes, too.
“Everyone has used more than half the land to grow their potatoes. They even have leftover land to grow wheat, corn, and other crops. We’ve hired some people to help us with our crops. We planted soybeans in the first fifty acres of land you bought us.”
The Su family continued to grow large amounts of soybeans because the tofu factory needed them. Fortunately, the mountain was a treasure trove. When everyone realized Su Binglan had bought the mountain, they began to gather firewood elsewhere.
Still, Shen Qiuhua felt it was okay for the people to continue chopping wood on Su Binglan’s mountain. Moreover, the villagers would not find anything of value, even if they went to Su Binglan’s mountain.
Shen Qiuhua thought it was a strange phenomenon. She wondered why no one else could reach the mountain’s depths and find valuable things as her daughter did.
After all, Su Binglan found soybeans and rapeseed back there.
Su Binglan nodded and said, “That’s good. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are highly adaptable to the environment. Their production and yield are high, so it’ll be a bumper harvest this year.”
Shen Qiuhua smiled and said, “Everyone will be delighted and in a good mood whenever there’s a bumper harvest.”
She could not describe her feelings but knew she felt a sense of joy. Although the Su family’s living conditions were exceptional, they still grew crops. It felt different to eat the crops they harvested themselves.
“Father, Mother, I’m going to check things out at the paper mill and printing factory.” Su Binglan was in a hurry to arrange things in Su Teng Village so that she could visit the capital as soon as possible.
“All right, let’s go there now..”

There were internal and external sections in the paper mill. The internal section was the factory, and the exterior was where the production area was. The production area had walls around it to prevent people from looking inside.
The employees could use a platform inside to dry the paper. Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, and the employees smiled as they worked. Everyone was excited when they saw Su Binglan.
The employees considered her their benefactor. After working at the paper mill, they realized how much they could earn in wages and bonuses.
Furthermore, they did not have to work hard and had more rest periods.
Living in Su Teng Village was convenient with the courier services and because it was easy to get food and daily necessities. The employees’ children could also attend school for free, thanks to Su Binglan.
“Hello, Miss Sue’
“Welcome, Miss Su.’
Everyone greeted Su Binglan warmly as she went to watch the paper-making process. She nodded and smiled, saying, “Good job, everyone.”
The employees were pleased to receive Su Binglan’s praise. Their hearts felt reenergized.
Ads by Pubfuture “Everyone follows your steps perfectly,” Shen Qiuhua said proudly, “That’s how we continue to make high-quality paper. The paper mill is famous now. Besides, no one can imitate our paper since there’s a vague mark of our logo on them.”
Su Binglan was the only one who knew how to make paper from start to finish. The employees only knew one step per section. They had also signed confidentiality agreements so no one would dare leak any information.
After leaving the paper mill, Su Binglan visited the printing factory. She saw many books outside as her mother explained, “These are orders from our customers.
“Many merchants have been anxious to buy our books the moment we opened. Some even gave us their most precious books to make copies. They also gave us deposits.”
The paper and printing business was booming. Scholars of Teng County held the Su family in high regard because the paper mill and printing factory provided academic convenience.
Buying paper and making copies of precious books had become elementary. Moreover, the paper and books were cheap, so many students could afford them. Everyone was grateful to the Su family for this.
The merchants who bought paper also had to sign confidentiality contracts. After purchasing paper from the Su family, the merchants could not raise the prices higher than stipulated in the contract.
Although the family stringently controlled the price of paper, countless merchants were eager to cooperate with the Su family to purchase their goods.
Still, the factory was in short supply of paper, even though many workers produced countless pieces of paper. There were simply too many orders to fulfill.
Those who could not afford paper in the past began buying in bulk because of how cheap it was. The merchants wanted to stock up as much as possible for fear paper prices would become expensive again.
Everyone felt comfortable doing business because they wanted to work hard to earn an honest living. They did not need to worry about sales, either.
Knowing that there were many orders, the employees of the paper mill and printing factory were thrilled and excited. After all, they would gain a considerable bonus based on the mill and factory’s profits.
The higher the monthly income for the mill and factory, the higher the employees’ bonuses. Therefore, everyone worked hard, and no one slacked off.
Ads by Pubfuture They did not grow bored of making paper, either, as it was much easier than working in the fields. Once the sun set, the employees would get off work and go home to rest. They even had the weekends off, which benefited everyone.
The employees had never heard of such treatment elsewhere. They did not feel any pressure when they thought about the salary and high bonuses they could earn monthly.
The employees knew their families could eat and drink to their hearts’ content. They no longer needed to worry about starving and freezing to death when winter came.
Their children also received free food and accommodations in school, so the families did not have to spend much on education.
Several days later, Yang County’s medicinal herbs and ketchup began arriving in Su Teng Village. Many restaurants in the Su Teng Village Development Zone started using ketchup. Everyone enjoyed eating fried foods with ketchup.@@novelbin@@
When Yang Xiao arrived to deliver the goods, he happily told Su Binglan about the changes that had occurred in Yang County, “Sister Binglan, the villagers are speeding through the hot spring villa’s construction. Everyone is wondering what it’ll look like.
“Doctor Yang told the people that it’s beneficial for them to soak in the hot spring. Wealthy families can’t wait to visit the hot spring.
“The ketchup factory is struggling to keep up with the demands. So many foreigners are anxious to buy them from us. 1 was wondering if we should hire more people to make ketchup.”
The Yang villagers realized the benefits of working in the three factories in Yang County. The employees had just received their wages, and many others wanted to work at the factories.
Su Binglan knew how popular ketchup would be but did not expect Yang Xiao to deliver them so soon. Moreover, the demand for ketchup was still pretty high.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “You should tell your father to build another ketchup factory. I’ll write down a plan and task Su Shiba with making the arrangements.”
Su Binglan had arranged for Su Shiba to stay in Yang County. She would feel at ease knowing she had a few of her subordinates overseeing things in Yang County’s factories. With them around, she could visit the capital without worries.
Yang Xiao was delighted to hear Su Binglan’s words. He knew how beneficial the factories were to the locals. If everyone had jobs in the factories, they could earn a healthy living and improve their livelihoods.
Many visited Yang County to purchase medicinal herbs and ketchup, making the county livelier than ever.
Yang Xiao headed back after receiving instructions from Su Binglan. The latter then completed her arrangements in Su Teng Village and brought Su Chun to the capital..

Su Binglan and Su Chun had to pass through the prefecture on the way to the capital. When they revisited the prefecture, they discovered how much livelier it was.
More and more people began setting up stalls and shopping on the streets. It was no longer as deserted as before, and everyone was smiling. As the duo looked on from afar, they saw several factories on what used to be a wasteland on the eastern side of the prefecture.
Many people went in and out of the factory, and the surroundings were full of greenery. Su Binglan could tell the people had planted crops there. She looked to the west and saw a vast land of crops.
At a glance, she knew they were potatoes and sweet potatoes. In addition to
Teng Countys grain, there would be a certain amount stored in the granary. After the summer harvest, the people could use the stored crops as seeds to spread throughout Dingzhou and the border.
When the autumn harvest arrived, Dingzhou and even the border would gather plenty of grain. As for the extras, Lan Ruozhu would purchase and use them as reserves.
With the high production of potatoes and sweet potatoes, one could imagine how much food was in the granary. There were sufficient provisions and military forces in Dingzhou, so they no longer needed to fear war. Su Binglan said, “Let’s visit the Deceased Royal’s Mansion first.”
“Yes, Master.” Su Chun nodded.
Lan Ruozhu was practicing martial arts on the training grounds when his sister arrived. He was thrilled when he found out Su Binglan had arrived. He quickly put down his weapon and went to see her.
“Sister, you’re finally back. You have no idea how much I’ve missed you.”
Su Binglan’s lips twitched when she heard that. After all, she had just visited him at the start of spring.
Lan Ruozhu was more silent in the past and would never say such things. He became more enthusiastic after recovering from his illness. Still, Su Binglan was pleased to see him so healthy.
“It’s nice to see you, too, Brother. I brought you something.”
“What is it?” Lan Ruozhu asked curiously.
Su Binglan passed a sack to Lan Ruozhu and said, “These are tomatoes. I’ll make you some tomato noodles later. I also brought you some ketchup.”
Lan Ruozhu sighed as he looked at the tomatoes and ketchup. “You found these in Yang County, didn’t you? Is that the ketchup they made?”
“l made this ketchup myself,” Su Binglan said. She always tried her best to make things for Lan Ruozhu.
The latter felt warm inside, saying, “Thank you, Sister. I cherish everything you give me, you know.”
“You don’t have to thank me.’
After exchanging pleasantries, Lan Ruozhu told his sister about the new factories he had built, “The method you showed me last time was effective. The soldiers can grow crops during their break while their families work in the factories.@@novelbin@@
“The soldiers seem enthusiastic about training in the military camp, too.
Many commoners came asking when we’ll recruit more soldiers. They want
their children to attend the camp. I never saw so many people in one place before.’
Su Binglan smiled. “l saw them on the way here. Also, the courier services you set up is perfect.”
“That was all your idea, Sister. It’s now much more convenient for people to send letters and items to their relatives. We can also deliver things to the commoners and use them as transport teams during critical moments.”
Su Binglan thought of something and asked, “By the way, how’s the water shipment services coming along?”
Lan Ruozhu became spirited when he heard the question. “It’s going swimmingly. I’ve arranged for my people to reorganize and regulate the water shipments.
“I realized that I have the rivers under my control, with tens of thousands of people at the ready. They can play a significant role in any critical moment. Here are the shipment routes for all of Chu Country.
“Dingzhou and the border’s shipment routes are entirely under our control. We just need to take our time infiltrating other places. I’ve already sent people to do these things. All water shipments will be in our control in a few months.”
Su Binglan was relieved to hear that. Soon, no one would be able to touch her brother. The siblings could restrain other forces just by controlling the shipment routes.
Su Binglan nodded with a smile. “That’s perfect. By the way, I plan to open a cement factory here.”
Lan Ruozhu had never heard of such a thing before and did not even know what cement was used for. “A cement factory?”
Su Binglan patiently explained, “We can use cement to build roads and walls. Cement is much sturdier than dirt roads and mud.’
She continued to tell Lan Ruozhu about the uses and benefits of cement. The latter excitedly stood up when he heard about it. He asked in disbelief, “Does such a thing exist, Sister?!”
“Of course it does. You’ll know what I really mean when I make it,” Su Binglan said, “Here’s a proposal I wrote.”
Lan Ruozhu excitedly took and read it, “Gray stone, clay, and iron ore powder?”
Su Binglan planned to use those materials to make cement, but Lan Ruozhu did not know what they were.
Su Binglan said, “Don’t worry, Brother. I checked out the surrounding villages the last time I visited. I discovered gray stones and clay on one of the mountains.
“There was iron ore powder in the valley nearby, too. You provided me with the Sacrificials, and I divided them into three teams. Each team is responsible for collecting one of those listed materials.
“We must keep that list a secret so we can only hire trusted personnel to work at the cement factory. We’ll strengthen the city wall first as soon as we finish making the cement.
“After that, we can use it to build other structures. You can also give some cement to other counties to rebuild their roads. 1 promised the people of Yang County that I’d send them cement to repair their roads.”
Lan Ruozhu nodded. “Of course. We must make cement as soon as possible to make it easier for the caravans to travel. It’ll be quicker to transport things if a war breaks out.’
He realized how important it was to rebuild the roads. He said thoughtfully, “Don’t worry, Sister. I’ll make arrangements as soon as possible and ensure everything goes smoothly.”
Lan Ruozhu knew what to do since his sister had provided a detailed plan. Su Binglan knew he was meticulous in his work, so she had no worries.
She stayed in a prefecture for a few days and found the materials she needed to make cement. She only needed her brother to arrange for his people to develop it, and then everything else would go smoothly..

After doing some work in the prefecture, Su Binglan and Su Chun prepared to leave for the capital. Lan Ruozhu became worried when he realized where his sister was going.
“Sister, you can’t go there. It’s too dangerous.” He was worried because he knew why his sister was going to the capital. Lan Ruozhu paled as he looked at Su Binglan nervously.
He was not worried about his sister’s activities in Dingzhou because it was his territory. He had even sent people to protect her secretly. However, he could not do much if she went to the capital because he had no power there.
Su Binglan sighed, knowing Lan Ruozhu would reach that way. She thoughtfully said, “You know there are some things I must do. Besides, I’m healthy now, so I can protect myself better. You should know how skilled I am in martial arts.’
Even so, Lan Ruozhu was still worried. “I can get someone to complete that task for vou. Don’t go there alone.’
Su Binglan said, “I have to do this myself, Brother. I have grudges to settle.”
Lan Ruozhu knew how stubborn his sister could be. No one could change her mind once she had decided on something. He helplessly said, “Then I’m coming with you.”
“You can’t. I’ll feel better with you in Dingzhou. Your people need you here.” Su Binglan’s expression turned solemn.
Ads by Pubfuture Lan Ruozhu had doted on Su Binglan since childhood, so he could only compromise.@@novelbin@@
Su Binglan’s expression softened as she looked at him. “Brother, I promise nothing bad will happen to me. I’ll send you letters frequently, okay?”
She felt warm inside from her brother’s concern. Still, she wanted to do this alone. Lan Ruozhu could only say, “Okay, but I’ll arrange for some people to protect you.”
Su Binglan shook her head. “I’m going to the capital as a member of the Shen family. Su Chun will suffice.”
Lan Ruozhu knew his sister had a biological uncle who was the current head of the Shen family. The family was one of the six great families in the capital who had solid connections.
He felt a little more at ease with the Shen family protecting Su Binglan. “Fine, I’ve placed spies within the various major factions in Beijing. Many of the core figures are spies we sent there when we were younger. I’ll compile a list for you.”
“l remember them, Brother. You don’t have to write it down.” Su Binglan squeezed Lan Ruozhu’s hand.
After all, it would be easier to expose the spies if Lan Ruozhu wrote a list of their names. Fortunately, Su Binglan remembered who the spies were.
“It’s good that you remember. Things will be much easier if you manage to contact them.’
Su Binglan said, “I’ll investigate as many things as possible while I’m there. I’ll even take revenge for you. You should make preparations. Perhaps war might be closer than we think.”
“Don’t worry about that,” Lan Ruozhu replied, “I’ve made more than enough preparations.”
The siblings discussed many confidential matters before Su Binglan and Su Chun left for the capital. The duo arrived in the afternoon and saw the bustling streets.
Ads by Pubfuture No one would have guessed there were constant internal strifes in the capital if they just looked at the bustling streets. The surrounding shops were lively as people came and went.
Many hawkers set up their stalls while others announced their products to attract customers.
“Get your candied hawthorns here!”
“Come one, come all to the Seven Fragrance Crispy Pastries!”
“Come in, come in!”
“Ma’am, the clothes you ordered have arrived.”
Su Binglan and Su Chun could hear several hawkers yelling as they walked around. Su Binglan led her horse through the streets and was a little dazed as she looked at the familiar shops.
She and Lan Ruozhu had lived in the capital for a while during childhood. At that time, the two often strolled the streets and bought food. Many years had passed, yet nothing had changed in the capital.
However, Su Binglan knew the capital’s undercurrents were turbulent as various factions competed with each other.
Su Chun stopped looking around and said, “Master, the capital isn’t as lively and prosperous as Su Teng Village. The food here is pretty simple, too.”
He felt the delicacies here were not as diverse as those in Su Teng Village. Su Binglan asked with a smile, “Aren’t you used to coming to the capital?”
Su Chun hurriedly replied, “Not at all, Master. Although most want to visit the capital for leisure, I’ve only lived here during my childhood.”
Ads by Pubfuture As a Sacrificial of the Deceased Royal’s Mansion, Su Chun had trained with his brethren in various places during childhood. As the duo approached the Shen residence, the people on the street suddenly became excited.
“Young Master Han’s carriage is right in front of us,” a young lady excitedly said, “He’s the heir to the Han family.” “Hey, that’s Young Master Han!”
“We can finally meet him!”
“Although that’s his carriage, the person inside might not be him.”
“Young Master Han is the heir to his family. No one else can sit in his carriage.
His status is extraordinary, and no one can surpass him.”
Everyone chased after the so-called Young Master Han. Meanwhile, Su Binglan’s expression turned cold when she heard his name. If she guessed correctly, the man’s name should be Han Yueting.
He had something to do with the incident concerning the Wei family three years ago. Lan Ruozhu had already sent someone to investigate the incident. He also placed spies in the Han residence. Since that was the case, Su Binglan decided it was time to contact those spies.
Han Yueting had just left the palace and sat in the carriage, thinking about
something. For some reason, he felt an odd sensation and lifted the carriage curtain to look at the crowd.
He felt a strong sense of impending danger, as if someone was spying on him.
“What’s the matter, Young Master Yueting?”
“It’s nothing,” Han Yeuting said with a mysterious expression.
“Sir, Princess Liuwi has invited you to her residence,” Han Song said. He was Han Yuetings subordinate, who knew many things about the young master.
Han Yueting had canceled his engagement with Princess Lan Ruobing. A few years later, he got engaged to Princess Chu Liuwu. The latter was the Crown Prince’s younger sister.
Princess Liuwu would often invite Han Yueting to her residence for a meal. People often mentioned Princess Ruobing in the past, but to them, she had died four years ago. These days, very few mention her name.
Han Yueting rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Okay..”

As the carriage passed through, the women on the streets screamed, “Young Master Yueting!
They were really into him, even though he was engaged to Princess Chu Liuwu. The people knew Han Yueting came from a good family. He was also capable, handsome, and talented.
In the past, Lan Ruozhu and Young General Jin’an were also in the capital. People would sigh whenever someone mentioned Wei Jin’an. He was the most handsome young master in everyone’s eyes.
They thought the incident with the Wei family from three years ago was a pitiful thing. Wei Jin’an then became a name no one could mention. After that, people began to worship Han Yueting.
Su Binglan only raised her head after the carriage disappeared from the street. She realized how vigilant Han Yueting was as he had noticed her killing intent, even though she had only revealed a trace of it.
Su Chun pursed her lips, saying softly, “Master, Han Yueting looks gentle, but he’s not a good person.”
“Oh?” Su Binglan raised her brows. “How do you know that?”
Su Chun replied, “The old king of the family had arranged for an engagement between him and Princess Ruobing. However, Young Master Yueting canceled the engagement because the princess was in poor health.@@novelbin@@
“He made a joke out of the princess at that time. It was really hateful.” Su Chun grew angry when she talked about it. She differed from the other Sacrificials as she was more emotional and judgemental.
Su Binglan smiled faintly. “There’s no need to get angry about that. Perhaps
Princess Ruiobing didn’t care about the engagement.”
Indeed, Lan Ruobing did not care about the engagement. Her parents had decided on the engagement, but she had no feelings for Han Yueting.
At that time, she only considered Han Yueting as her future fiance while she continued to focus on her preparations to protect the Deceased Royal’s Mansion.
Ads by Pubfuture As for Han Yuetings attitude, Lan Ruobing did not feel hurt at all. Still, his actions had caused an impact on the mansion.
“Although Princess Ruobing might not have cared, the people of the Deceased Royal’s Mansion are still furious. The princess was such a kind and caring person. How could anyone insult her like that?
“They don’t know how good the princess was. Um, I’m sorry, Master. I shouldn’t have said that.” Su Chun suddenly realized what she had just said. Since her current master was Su Binglan, she felt he should not mention others.
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “It’s all right.”
After all, she was indeed Lan Ruobing. She did not mind Su Chun’s words at all. Su Binglan had brought Su Chun to the capital because she had a lively personality and dared to speak her mind.
“Han Yueting isn’t as simple as he looks. We can’t underestimate him.”
Su Binglan stared into the distance with a dangerous look in her eyes. She then smiled slyly. Even if he were dangerous, she would not forgive him if he did anything to harm Luo Jin’an.
She exuded a dangerous aura at that moment, and Su Chun felt it. Su Chun realized it was her master’s killing intent. Therefore, she would observe Han
Yueting. Su Chun would kill Han Yueting as soon as Su Binglan gave the order. The duo continued toward the Shens’ residence while passing a few shops. They realized the shops belonged to the Shen family. Su Chun was ecstatic when she saw the tofu shop. “Look, Master, there’s a tofu shop here, too!” Su Binglan smiled lightly. “Yeah, that one belongs to the Shens.”
In the past, she would never cooperate with the capital e s merchants. Moreover, her contracts stipulated that no one was allowed to sell her goods to the capital.
Therefore, the people of the capital did not know about the Su familys
products, nor could they buy them unless someone bought goods from the merchants and sold them in the capital.
If that were the case, the price would be very high, and there would not be enough goods. That would be too troublesome, but the merchants had already signed contracts. They would not resell the goods nor cooperate with those from the capital.
There were very few Su family products in the capital last time, but the Shens were the only ones who could sell such things there.
Su Chun happily said, “Master, there aren’t many people in those other shops, but most are in line at the tofu shop and cured meats store.”
Ads by Pubfuture There was a cured meats store next to the tofu shop. The things sold were produced in Su Teng Village. Su Chun knew how popular these things were in the capital just by looking at the long queue.
After traveling for such a long time, she missed his life in Su Teng Village. Whenever she saw these products, she would feel a sense of familiarity. Even Su Binglan felt the same way.
“Master, there’s also an accessories shop over there. People are buying the same things as the ones in Su Teng Village’s embroidery shop.”
Su Binglan had excellent eyesight and could see the patterns on the products from afar. She recognized them as the ones from Su Teng Village’s embroidery shop.
When the duo walked over, they saw everyone excitedly smiling while holding their newly bought items.
“l finally got to buy a duvet. Now 1 can return home and show it to my family.”
“Yeah, it’s not easy to get these things. I wonder who the Shens got these products from. Still, these things are lovely.”
“With such high-quality items, the Shens are likely to take the top spot among the six great families. The other families can’t compare to the Shens regarding business.’
“l heard that not everyone has access to these goods. Only the Shens can get these.’
“From the start of spring until now, they’ve made plenty of money by just relying on these few shops.
“Yeah, people are lining up here every day. There’s not a day when it’s empty here. Young Master Mohen has even returned to help his family.”
“l heard he never stayed with his family last time. Now that he has taken charge of the family business, he has become even more capable.” “The Shens used to lay low. I didn’t expect the family to be so secretive.”
“l agree. The Shens went into seclusion for some unknown reason a few decades ago. Now, they’ve reemerged. I don’t know what’s going on.”
“It’s best not to pry into the matters of prominent families. Just do your own
thing.”
It was already late when Su Binglan and Su Chun arrived at the Shens’ residence. Shen Quihui was thrilled when he heard that Su Binglan had arrived. He then hurriedly put down his things and went to welcome her.
He exclaimed, “Binglan, you’re finally here! Why didn’t you tell me when you’d leave home? I would’ve gone to pick you up.”
Su Binglan smiled. “It’s okay. I wanted to take a look around on the way.”
‘Quick, come in,” Shen Qiuhui quickly told his cooks to make food as he welcomed Su Binglan and Su Chun into his house..

Shen Qiuhui told his cook all of Su Binglan’s favorite dishes. He was thrilled that his niece had finally visited him. He was so excited that he wanted to tell everyone that he had found his sister and that Su Binglan was his sister’s daughter.
However, he knew his sister did not want to restore her status as the Shens’ daughter. Therefore, he could only treat his niece twice as well.
Shen Qiuhui then gathered the whole family and told them, “This is Miss Su, my niece. She shall be the most respected young lady in our family. I will punish anyone who dares to disrespect or ignore her.”
The rest of the family knew Shen Qiuhui’s temperament and methods. If not for that, he would not have stood out from the many descendants and taken control of the family.
Shen Qiuhui was the family head and had all the power. No one would dare to question or object to his words. Still, everyone wondered about Su Binglan’s identity.
‘She’s Master Qiuhui’s niece? Is she the child one of his siblings left behind? But didn’t Master Qiuhui’s siblings bully him back then? Why would he value this young lady so much?’
Some of the elders had only heard about Shen Qiuhui having a good relationship with his eldest sister during childhood. However, Shen Qiuhua had allegedly died in a fire back then. The family wondered if Shen Qiuhua
had survived.
Ads by Pubfuture Moreover, Shen Qiuhui seemed to be looking for his eldest sister all these years. The family could not tell if he had found Shen Qiuhua or not.
‘Is this Miss Su the daughter of that young lady from before? That would make the most sense.’
Everyone had their guesses and suspicions, but none dared to voice them.
“Of course, Master Quihui,” everyone replied respectfully. After all, they had to follow the head of the family’s orders. They knew how cruel he could be if necessary and did not dare to disobey him.
Shen Mohen was inspecting one of the family’s businesses when he found out Su Binglan had come to the capital. He was so excited that he dropped his booklet and went straight home on horseback.
As soon as he got home, he exclaimed, “Cousin Binglan? Cousin Binglan!’
The family was stunned when they heard his excited voice. Shen Mohen usually had a stern expression and an indifferent tone, They had never seen him so ecstatic.
Simultaneously, they realized Su Binglan held a special place in Young Master Mohen and Master Qiuhui’s hearts.
Su Binglan’s lips twitched when she heard Shen Mohen’s voice. She said, “It seems Cousin Mohen is back.”
Shen Qiuhui smiled, “Your cousin hasn’t stopped thinking about you since we left Su Teng Village. He keeps asking me when you’d visit. Of course, he’s excited now that you’re finally here.”
Shen Mohen ran into the house and saw Su Binglan, saying, “Cousin Binglan, you finally came! ”
Su Binglan said, “l have some things to do here, so I might have to trouble you and your father to help me.”
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Mohen said, “Come on, there’s no trouble at all! I’m just excited to see you!”
Shen Qiuhui added, “He’s right, Binglan. Just tell us what you want us to do, and we’ll do it. We know it was a long journey for you to get here. We want you to have fun, okay?”
He knew what his niece was capable of and her relationship with Prince Ruozhu. Shen Qiuhui suspected that what Su Binglan planned to do was very important.
However, he did not want his niece to tire herself out and would help her whenever possible.
Su Binglan shook her head, saying, “l need to handle certain things alone.
Don’t worry about that, okay? By the way, how’s business here, Uncle Qiuhui?”
Shen Qiuhui and his son took out the account book. One of them said,
“Business has been booming since we received the goods from Su Teng Village and sold them here.
“Our stores were losing money before we started selling the goods from Su Teng Village. Our daily income can rival our sales over the past several months.” Shen Qiuhui was not exaggerating.
Su Binglan could tell just by looking at the account book.
Shen Mohen said, “We have a restaurant here, too. Your dishes have become its signature dish. Many people came here because of your reputation, Cousin Binglan. Some even make reservations through their connections.
“Not only are the tofu dishes popular, but the instant noodles and spicy cured sausages are, too. They’re in short supply because of the high demand.”
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Mohen wanted to buy more products, but the factories in Su Teng Village could only produce so much.
Su Binglan said, “You can sell these in limited quantities. We can only sell a few hundred packets of noodles and a portion of spicy sausages in a day. Each person can only buy a limited serving. That way, others will have a chance to taste our food.
“My uncle plans to build another cured meats shop in the prefecture to make it easier for everyone to purchase his goods.”
Since these items were so popular, Su Fengchen wanted to increase production. Opening a factory in the prefecture was also for the prefecture’s development.
Su Binglan, Shen Mohen, and Shen Qiuhui discussed business as they ate. Shen Mohen said, “The various forces in the capital are well-informed. You’ll soon attract the attention of many prominent families. They’ll start inviting you over so you can decide on whether or not you want to accept them.” Shen Qiuhui added, “You’re free to do as you please, Binglan.”@@novelbin@@
Su Binglan felt warm inside. ‘You don’t have to worry about me. I’ve made many preparations before coming here. It’s okay if people want to meet me. I think it’s time for me to do that.”
‘It’s time to settle some scores.’
“Uncle Qiuhui, Cousin Mohen, I want to deal with someone high up. You don’t have to worry because I’ll protect you.”
Shen Qiuhui said, “You can do as you please. Just tell me if you need my help, okay? You can even utilize my family’s power. Here’s our token.”
He passed his family token to his niece as he spoke. However, Su Binglan shook her head. “It’s okay. I don’t need the token, but I need to know about Han Yueting. The more details you can provide, the better.”
The Shens had a network of contacts and information on someone like Han
Yueting. Shen Mohen said, “I’ll give you his information right away.”
Su Binglan looked through the information after dinner. Shen Mohen said,
“Then Hans was originally the last of the six families. However, they used
their power from the loyal family after Han Yueting got engaged to Princess Liuwu to climb the ranks.
“Han Yueting has begun to move into the palace. He’s also close to the Crown
Prince now..”
