Chapter 1139: Chapter 363: Two Wedding Invitations, Being a Bridesmaid_4

"Haha—" Mo Yan laughed without any regard for her image, her eyes brimming with tears. It had been a long time since she had last bullied anyone, and she hadn’t expected Cui Pingan to still be so easy to bully.

There wasn’t much firewood left to chop in the firewood shed. Ever since three hundred retired soldiers had taken up residence in the orchard, the Mo Family hadn’t had to worry about firewood. In their free time, they went up the mountain to gather firewood, even preparing the Mo Family’s supply. Some even made charcoal, digging a hole on the back mountain to create a kiln and producing quite a lot of it.

Throughout the entire winter, the Mo Family never ran short on charcoal and even saved a considerable amount of silver. Fortunately, they did not sell the charcoal; otherwise, an old man in the village who lived off selling charcoal would have had a tough time this year.

At noon, Mo Yan indeed prepared an entire table of delicious dishes, most of which were Cui Pingan’s favorites, and she even brought out a jar of fruit wine to entertain him.

Cui Pingan ate to his heart’s content, declaring that Mo Yan was very generous. In the blink of an eye, he had forgotten the previous bullying, leaving the two young servants utterly speechless.

In the end, Cui Pingan got drunk and was helped onto the horse carriage by the two young servants. Before leaving, he stuck his head out of the carriage window, making sure to remind Mo Yan to come over early on his wedding day.

With a month to go before Cui Pingan’s wedding, Mo Yan was not in a hurry to prepare a wedding gift; however, the spring plowing needed to be scheduled. As in previous years, the village’s thirty acres of dry land would still be planted with corn and buckwheat, which not only provided food for people but also served as chicken feed.

The lowland and terraced fields would continue to grow rice as before. The one thousand acres of land on the estate needed careful planning. Of those acres, two hundred were paddy fields that would be directly used to grow rice. The sloping lands could only sustain dry season crops, so Mo Yan planned to plant peanuts, cotton, and other cash crops. As for the large expanse of dry land, it would be used similarly, and the few dozen acres of sandy land would be used for melons, such as watermelons and cantaloupes. By then, using seeds from Space and without Spirit Spring Water, she believed the taste would still be very good.

What was most taxing for Mo Yan was the winery that was just built last year. The winery covered a large area and, aside from the buildings, was just barren yellow soil. Since it was a winery, meticulous attention to detail was indispensable, and aspects related to the culture of red wine were essential.

Mo Yan had been preparing for this, and the related blueprints were ready as well; she was just waiting to find a reliable horticultural master to take on the final design. There was much to prepare, including building materials and various flowers and green plants.

There were plenty of plants in Space, but most were medicinal with little ornamental value. This was something that required careful selection from a nursery, and there was no rush.

After pondering for several days, Mo Yan made some minor adjustments to the blueprints and finalized the layout of the estate, all that was left was to wait for a reliable horticultural master.

She originally knew nothing about such talent in this field, but later, after inquiring of Master Lv, she learned that there was a famous horticultural master in Jiangnan. However, the master was semi-retired and not easy to persuade to take on a new project.

The winery had consumed a huge amount of Mo Yan’s efforts, and she did not want to casually hire someone to complete the job. She was even less willing to give up on such a talent. She decided to find an opportunity to ask Yan Junyu, to see if he had any connection with the master. If there was someone to introduce her, she was confident she could personally invite the master successfully.

As she nearly finished arranging the spring farming work, Mo Yan began to consider what wedding gift to send to the Cui family. But before she could come to a decision, her good friend Liu Tinglan sent a red wedding invitation, asking her to be a bridesmaid. Coincidentally, the wedding date was also set for the twentieth of March...
