The Farm Girl’s Charismatic Fortune
Chapter 214 - 210: She is the Little Ancestor

Chapter 214: Chapter 210: She is the Little Ancestor

The bookstore received a large order, and the brothers from Ruo Shui were very happy, starting to print books day and night without rest.

In the following days, the bookstore took on two more large orders, both from the Academy, each requiring five thousand copies, totaling ten thousand copies.

Adding to the previous ten thousand, that made a total of twenty thousand copies to be completed within half a month.

With the time being a bit tight, the brothers from Ruo Shui calculated that they could complete the order, but they would need to ask for more help from home.

So Ruo Shui hurried back home, planning to ask people from the village to help out.

Madam Jiang was delighted to hear that the bookstore had received such a large order of twenty thousand copies just one month after opening, with the next month’s silver secured, "The fields at home are already planted, and there’s nothing else to do, so I’ll go to the city to help too!"

Granny Lei nodded her head, "With the second daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law going, it will be fine with me at home."

Madam Liu, however, was not comfortable leaving her mother-in-law to take care of Xuanbao at home and suggested, "How about the second sister-in-law and I stay home and print? The two of us know how to do it. That way, if anything comes up at home, we can handle it."

Ruo Shui was also uneasy, for Xuanbao was still small and couldn’t be without her parents, he simply couldn’t bear it, "That works, too. We still have a set of old type molds at home, and some paper left over. I’ll send some more paper back tomorrow. You two can print the ’Four Books’; we’ve got a set at home."

Madam Jiang had no objections; she just wanted to help, no matter where the printing took place.

"I’ll go to the village and recruit a few people to help in the city," said Ruo Shui as he hurried out the door to seek help from the villagers.

He looked for the children of several familiar households, the son of Feng Shusen, Feng Jie, his nephew Feng Peng, He Dayou’s son He Haihua, and the village head’s nephew Yang Haidong.

Altogether four people, all of them half-grown lads around the same age as Ruo Zhou.

When the families heard Ruo Shui was looking for help to print books, they all said they did not need a salary and would send their children to be apprentices.

But Ruo Shui insisted on offering wages, promising a monthly pay of fifteen hundred wen.

For apprentices, this salary was very high.

Typically, apprentices learned their trade by serving a master, starting without pay and even having to bring gifts to their master. Once they became adept, only a good master or employer would provide a bit of pay, which wasn’t much.

Having recruited help, Ruo Shui led the people into the city. After the busy farming season, Ruo Xuan had to go to the mountain every day to study and practice martial arts; he hadn’t even been able to see his precious daughter.

By this time, Ruo Xuan had already finished her lessons. She and Xuanyuan Que were quick learners. Whether it was Master Han’s classes or martial arts, they only needed half an hour of lessons each day to complete the tasks assigned by their teacher, so they had plenty of free time.

After class, Ruo Xuan dragged Xuanyuan Que off to mess with her spices and rouge powders, while he helped her weigh various spices with a disgruntled expression.

The entire room was filled with a variety of fragrances, making his handsome face grow darker and darker.

Ruo Xuan knew he disliked it, otherwise he wouldn’t have found her a separate courtyard for these activities — and this courtyard was also the farthest from Divine Lord Xuanyuan’s.

Feeling that Divine Lord Xuanyuan was reaching his limit and teetering on the edge of an explosion, she hurriedly soothed him, "Brother Xuanyuan, when I earn a big sum of silver, I’ll share half with you!"

Xuanyuan Que declined coldly, "No need."

"Then I’ll make a sachet for you with my own hands, guaranteeing it to be a unique fragrance in the world!"

Xuanyuan Que scowled, "No need."

Hadn’t he smelled enough these days? Besides, did she even have any sense of her own sewing skills? He was afraid that a sachet made by her own hands would leak fragrance.

"Then what do you want, Xuanyuan?"

Xuanyuan Que, "Just don’t ask for my help."

Ruo Xuan, "That won’t do, you won’t let me use Immortal Technique, and everyone else has things to be busy with, only you are the most idle, with nothing to do."

If she wanted to open a rouge and spices shop, the shop would need many products on display. Relying on herself alone, without using Immortal Technique, she simply couldn’t cope!

Since Divine Lord Xuanyuan wouldn’t allow her to use Immortal Technique, naturally he had to help her out.

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

He didn’t have to do anything?

Xuanyuan Que was beginning to regret not allowing her to use Immortal Technique!

Just for that sentence, how much trouble had he brought upon himself?

Was he idle? Did he have nothing to do? He felt that for ten thousand years, he had never been so busy, all spent attending to this little ancestor!

At this moment, in Xuanyuan Que’s eyes, Ruo Xuan was no longer just a flower but indeed a little ancestor!

The old Lady Xuanyuan and Aunt Yu Hua, accompanied by a middle-aged woman and several maids, walked into the courtyard.

"Xuanbao, Grandma has found a perfumer and a few maids to help you, come out and have a look."

Xuanyuan Que breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally found someone to help.

The scent of fragrant powders was something he truly couldn’t stand any longer!

Ruo Xuan, hearing this, her little face lit up with surprise, and she hurried out.

Xuanyuan Que quickly used an Immortal Technique to cleanse himself of all scents and followed her out.

There stood five young women in the courtyard, each as beautiful as flowers in bloom.

As Ruo Xuan came out, the old Lady Xuanyuan said with a smile, "Xuanbao, this is Aunt Chenxiang. Aunt Chenxiang is very skilled in perfumery, a famous perfumery master in the capital."

Chenxiang immediately bowed to Xuanbao: "This servant pays respects to Lady Xuanbao."

Ruo Xuan courteously replied, "Aunt Chenxiang, please, there’s no need for formalities. I will be counting on your guidance in the future."

The other young women also bowed proficiently: "This servant Yingchun/Yingxia/Yingqiu/Yingdong/Yichu pays respects to Lady Xuanbao."

Ruo Xuan sweetly said, "My sisters, please, there’s no need for formalities."

However, Ruo Xuan’s eyes widened when she saw Zhen Yi standing on the far right—how much she had changed, nearly unrecognizable!

But Zhen Yi was no longer called Zhen Yi; her name had been changed to Yichu.

Often, when maids were sold, their new masters renamed them for convenience, marking a complete break from their past.

The old Lady Xuanyuan had changed Zhen Yi’s name to avoid trouble, but of course, she had been consulted before the change. After all, the old lady hadn’t bought her to serve as a maid; she just wanted her to have another identity.

The old Lady Xuanyuan smiled, "From now on, you will all follow Lady Xuanbao in the production of rouge and facial powders, as well as perfumery. Whatever Lady Xuanbao says, you do just that."

"Yes!" They all answered in unison.

Eager to make a batch of rouge and facial powders for the shop to open, Ruo Xuan said to everyone, "We should not delay. I am in the middle of a task. Aunt Chenxiang, sisters, please come with me quickly!"

"Yes!"

So, Ruo Xuan took them to get busy, and Xuanyuan Que was successfully liberated.

Ruo Xuan led them to a courtyard Xuanyuan Que had specially arranged for her to develop various rouges and facial powders.

The table was laid out with boxes and bottles of items, all of which were her newly finished products from the past few days.

Now, they just had to be produced in large quantities.

Ruo Xuan pointed to the items on the table and said to them, "I will teach you how to make these items once. Afterward, I will trouble my sisters to make more of them!"

Chenxiang: "..."

So, she wasn’t here to teach, but to be taught?
