In the restaurant, Yang Ruoqing was leaning comfortably on a wicker chair, holding a bowl of iced sour plum soup in her hand and sipping it, but her eyes fell on a bag of silver on the table in front of her.

Luo Baobao stood by the table, counting carefully.

This is the errand assigned to her by Yang Ruoqing, to help her count the money.

"Mom, I've finished counting, there are a hundred taels of silver in total." Luo Baobao raised his head and said to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing nodded slightly, "Well, okay, that's absolutely right. My baby is great."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's praise, Luo Baobao was very happy.

"Mom, is there anything else you want me to do?" she asked again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "It's okay for now, you can play by yourself."

Luo Baobao said: "Then I'll go paint."

She took her drawing paper and pen and went to the next room to draw. Here, Luo Fengtang came in from the outside.

"The ship has left. Daqiu and his wife did not get off the ship, but followed them back to Yangzhou," he said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded and handed him the sour plum soup: "I'm sweating profusely from running around. Come, take a drink to cool down the fever."

Luo Fengtang took it and took a big sip.

He wiped the corners of his mouth and sat down, looked at the white money exposed in the unfolded bundle on the table, and asked her: "What are you going to do with these one hundred taels of silver?"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said: "The things I sent out and the water I poured out, I plan to bring these one hundred taels of silver to Yangzhou next time."

"I will give it to them in front of their family and name this matter. I will give this hundred taels of silver to Dazhi for safekeeping and distribution."

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Okay, Qing'er, let's do whatever you say, and I'll listen to you. But, I'm a little worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Luo Fengtang glanced at the bag of silver and said, "Zhi'er is only nine years old after all. I'm worried that if I give him so much money to keep, his brother and sister-in-law will be thinking about the money every day, which will delay Zhi'er's studies."

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and said, "Zhi'er is nine years old and is also a scholar now. Because of this, I need to pay him a sum of money and let him take care of it by himself to train him."

"Exercise?" Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Yes, look at our Chen'er, he takes care of all the properties of the huge Xiaoyao Village. When we go to the capital, we don't need to worry about anything."

"Although it was really distressing when he was learning these skills, but as a boy, we are like an eagle. When we should endure the pain, we should endure it. This is the basic skill of making a living."

"Not only Chen'er and Zhi'er, but also our daughter, I want to teach her to manage the property and be a qualified manager."

"Our two sons are both excellent, so our daughter can't grow up to be the kind of eldest lady who doesn't have a finger in love, what do you think?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Luo Fengtang smiled and blinked, and looked at Yang Ruoqing with a gentle look on his face: "You are the mother of the children, so you naturally make better plans for their future. I will do whatever you say, I have no objection."

"If there is any use for your cooperation as a father, just speak up!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing also smiled tenderly, and couldn't help but lean forward and gently pinch Luo Fengtang's handsome face.

"No one knows that there really is a perfect man in this world who combines coldness and gentleness. He is like a block of ice on the outside but a ball of fire on the inside!" she said.

"I, Yang Ruoqing, have truly found a treasure. By marrying you, I will be envied, jealous, and hated by women all over the world." She said.

Luo Fengtang immediately stretched out his hands to hold her waist, lifted her onto his lap and sat down.

"I, Luo Fengtang, am yours in life, and in death..."

"Shh!"

Yang Ruoqing quickly covered his mouth and said, "As long as you have the previous sentence."

Luo Fengtang's eyes were full of smiles.

Yang Ruoqing lowered her head and kissed him gently on the lips. Before he could respond enthusiastically, she quickly moved her lips away.

With a gentle smile, the two of them put their foreheads together, squinted their eyes slightly, and felt the quiet lingering...

On the merchant ship bound for Yangzhou, Zhang Shuilian and Da Qiu were placed in a small lounge.

After Yang Huazhou's management, there are separate doors and windows, a bed for two people, and simple toiletries.

At this moment, the couple closed the door and windows tightly, and Zhang Shuilian was standing by the bed, roughly opening the gift box on the bed.

Da Qiu stood aside and tried to stop him: "Shui Lian, before I left, my uncle specifically told us not to dismantle it. He said he wanted Da Zhi to dismantle it himself. I think you should not..."

"You know what?" Zhang Shuilian turned around and glared at Big Ball fiercely, "Whatever your uncle says, you do? He is your biological uncle? So if he asks you to eat shit, will you eat it or not?"

Daqiu blushed and was speechless.

Zhang Shuilian turned around and said angrily while taking it apart: "We've already made a loss this time. If we can't get back the one hundred taels of silver, the whole family will have to wait for the northwest wind."

"This gift box is so big, so heavy, and sealed with beeswax. There might be something good inside."

"We are the head of the family and Dazhi's brother-in-law, so naturally we have to take a look first."

As she spoke, the beeswax was broken open by her. She couldn't wait to open the outer box and found that there were large boxes inside small boxes.

"Packed in a two-layer box, it must be a good thing." Zhang Shuilian became excited.

Big Ball didn't bother to stop it anymore and quickly came over to take a look.

The second layer of the box was opened again, and there was a third layer inside.

"With so many boxes, it must be a treasure." Zhang Shuilian geared up, excited.

Big Ball also became excited, "Shui Lian, let's continue demolishing it."

Zhang Shuilian rolled her eyes at the big ball proudly, and then continued to dismantle it.

The third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor...

"Oh my god, what kind of treasure is this? How come it has so many layers? Is this still over?" Zhang Shuilian became impatient.

Big fairway: "Could it be something as good as pearls?"

Zhang Shuilian thought about it, and it made sense, so she continued to take it apart patiently.

When a total of twelve layers were removed, a brocade handkerchief was finally revealed.

The veil was bulging, and there was something wrapped inside.

"Baby!" Zhang Shuilian shouted excitedly, grabbing the handkerchief in the palm of her hand.

When the veil was lifted, a stone suddenly lay in her palm.

"Is this...beautiful jade?"

Zhang Shuilian couldn't believe what she saw. She tilted her head and looked at the stone, but she couldn't see anything strange about it.

"Show me." The big fairway.

He took the stone, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

There was only a crisp sound of "bang", and Big Ball dropped the stone and raised his hand to cover his mouth.

Half of his front teeth were chipped, and blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth.
