Chapter 841: Chapter 841: Tricking a Scumbag (2)

Mo Yan nodded, "Hmm, I have thought about this too, but the winery is not yet built, and I temporarily cannot divert my attention to building the guesthouses. Once the winery is finished next year, it won’t be too late to start construction."

Initially, it was a casual joke with Yan Junyu, suggesting that he build some guesthouses near the winery. Unexpectedly, he agreed and quickly purchased several suitable locations nearby to prepare for construction.

She also had quite a bit of silver on hand. Selling a batch of those precious medicinal herbs from the Space could earn her a fortune, enough to build several small guesthouses beside the orchard. This would not conflict with the guesthouses Yan Junyu was planning to construct.

Lixiu laughed, "If Miss Liu knew about this, she’d probably be thrilled to bits."

Last spring, when Liu Tinglan came to visit and saw that the orchard was filled with blossoms of red, white, and pink, it was exceedingly beautiful. She then clamored for a small wooden house to be built in the orchard, so she could stroll and enjoy the flowers by day and fall asleep to their fragrance at night.

Mo Yan remembered this and couldn’t help but feel a surge of inspiration, "After we finish the test, the flowers in the orchard should be nearly in bloom. It would be a good idea to invite Sister Lan to come and play. I’ll also ask my father to send invitations to Uncle Liu, Uncle Han, Brother Shen, and the others. We could have a flower appreciation and spring outing event. We would prepare a barbecue and food, and have a picnic outside. It could be quite a delightful affair."

Lixiu nodded, just about to speak, when Xin Er, holding a spring shirt she had only half-finished, hurried in with Zhenzhen and a few others. Zhenzhen couldn’t wait to say, "And don’t forget brother-in-law, big sister! You mustn’t forget him. It’d be best to invite Brother Yan and the Crown Prince as well—more people means more fun!"

Mo Yan tapped Zhenzhen on the forehead, scolding, "Your big sister isn’t married yet, so stop calling someone brother-in-law. If others hear you. they’ll think your sister is desperate to marry!"

Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue and hugged her sister’s arm, coquettishly begging, "Then, big sister, let’s invite Brother Xiao... Zhenzhen really hasn’t seen Brother Xiao for a long time!"

Mo Yan rolled her eyes. He had just visited on the third day of the month, and now, it was only the tenth—merely seven days apart, and that was already ’a long time’?

Understanding the meaning behind her sister’s rolling eyes but still shamelessly clinging to her arm, Zhenzhen continued to plead, "Big sister, please agree. Brother Xiao is so busy with official duties and rarely gets time to rest. Wouldn’t it be nice to let Brother Xiao relax on this occasion? If you wear out Brother Xiao, wouldn’t you feel sorry for him?"

Of course, Mo Yan cared about him and wanted to see him too. So, feigning deep contemplation, while Zhenzhen was on tenterhooks, almost ready to agree for her, Mo Yan reluctantly consented, "Alright then, big sister will send a message in a bit. If father asks, I’ll say it was your idea. Don’t try to pin it on your sister."

Even though the Mo and Xiao families had settled an engagement and could often mingle, they were not yet married, and proprieties had to be observed. Mo Qingze took this very seriously; even though they were engaged, he rarely allowed Xiao Ruiyuan to come too close to Mo Yan, apprehensive that a certain "older" young man might lose control and behave inappropriately.

Zhenzhen had not yet realized she had been "utilized" by her dear big sister and nodded vigorously, "Mm-hmm, if father asks, Zhenzhen will definitely take responsibility. But if father gets angry, big sister, you have to plead on Zhenzhen’s behalf!"

"Of course, I’m your sister. I’ll definitely stand in front of you!" Mo Yan touched Zhenzhen’s head and professed earnestly.

Zhenzhen believed her big sister’s words, her little face full of gratitude, as flattery streamed effortlessly from her. Witnessing the entire exchange, Lixiu, Xin Er, and the others turned their heads to one side, covering their mouths to stifle their laughter.

Planting fruit seedlings was much easier than reclaiming wasteland and digging tree pits, so even women and older children could handle it. Thus, Mo Yan hired three hundred villagers from Liu Yang Village to plant tens of thousands of fruit seedlings on the mountain, sorted by variety. The planting was finished the same day as the government examinations concluded.
