The Farm Girl’s Charismatic Fortune
Chapter 250 - 246 Immortal Elixir

Chapter 250: Chapter 246 Immortal Elixir

Xiaohong successfully gave birth to a foal, and the entire family was overjoyed. As soon as Ruo He returned to the city and spread the news, even Ruo Shan, who was an attendant at the medical hall, came back!

There wasn’t a man who didn’t love horses.

Ruo Xuan liked it very much too. The other two horses at home were too big for her to ride properly. By the time little Xiaohong grew up, she would be able to ride it just right. So she decided to get up early every day to nourish the foal with Spiritual Power.

One day, as Ruo Xuan had just come out from the backyard and was about to go to the manor for her lessons, she spotted He Xinghua and her brother, who were looking around for someone.

Ruo Xuan waved excitedly, "Sister Xinghua, Brother Dalin, over here!"

Upon seeing Ruo Xuan, the siblings breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over.

They had set off from Xinghua Village before dawn and once they entered Xishui Village, they compared which house was the biggest and most beautiful.

Because they asked the villagers for directions to the Ruo Family, everyone said: "The biggest, most beautiful, and newest house in the village is the Ruo Family’s. You’ll know it when you see it."

This answer made it impossible for them to determine which house it was, so they had to compare one by one.

But looking at the newly built multi-section blue brick and large tile house in front of them, the siblings immediately felt it lived up to being the biggest, most beautiful, and newest in the village; indeed, you would know it at first glance.

Ruo Xuan asked, "Sister Xinghua, Brother Dalin, are you planning to work as long-term laborers at our house? Aren’t your parents coming?"

He Xinghua replied with a smile, "We’re coming first. My dad and my mom will come over tomorrow. They’re getting everything at home arranged before coming."

Ruo Xuan nodded, "Let’s go inside first."

Then Ruo Xuan called out to the courtyard, "Granny, Sister Xinghua and Brother Dalin are here."

Granny Lei was feeding the livestock in the backyard. Hearing the call, she immediately ran out, saying joyfully, "Ah, you’re finally here! Come in, come in. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"We’ve eaten."

Ruo Xuan and Granny Lei led the two siblings into the house.

Upon seeing the visitors, Madam Liu and Madam Jiang hurriedly offered some pastries, fruit, and tea.

Ruo Xuan cheerfully introduced them.

Madam Liu laughed and said, "We are really grateful to you siblings. Otherwise, my mother-in-law and Xuanbao wouldn’t have been able to pick so many Digitate Hare’s-ear and Wild Paeonol."

Madam Jiang also said, "My mother-in-law and Xuanbao praised you guys for a long time at home. We’re truly thankful."

He Xinghua replied with easy grace, "It was just a matter of exerting some strength; actually, we took advantage of Granny and Xuanbao. Xuanbao is really amazing, with her stones hitting pheasants and hares – every shot was accurate."

Dalin said, "Yeah, I heard from my sister and didn’t quite believe it until later when Xuanbao..."

...

After chatting for a while and having some pastries, Granny Lei guessed that the siblings must be rested enough, so she took them to live in the east wing room of the old yard.

The entire family had moved to the new courtyard, so the old one was now vacant. The long-term laborers they had hired before were from the village or nearby and didn’t need accommodation.

Now was perfect for giving the He Family a place to stay – fortune comes to those by the water first. Living so close, once the eldest son came back, they would definitely get to meet.

As for what kind of work the two siblings would do, that was for Ruo Xuan to arrange.

Xuanbao wasn’t arranging work for long-term laborers for the first time, so they were very confident in her.

Granny Lei, along with Madam Liu and Madam Jiang, had to prepare for Ruo He’s wedding.

Today, the three mothers and daughters-in-law were planning to go and set an auspicious date for the wedding.

Ruo Xuan thought for a moment and decided to have Brother Dalin grow mushrooms.

Xinghua Village was surrounded by mountains, making it very suitable for growing various fungi. In the future, once Brother Dalin learned how to grow mushrooms, he could return to his own village and lead the villagers to grow mushrooms and earn silver.

As for Sister Xinghua, of course, she was arranged to learn how to make rouge, skincare products, and fragrances.

She guaranteed that if Sister Xinghua used the skincare products she formulated for seven days, she would transform from a withered apricot blossom into a tender, snowy white, budding apricot flower!

Ruo Xuan also planned that from now on, when she delivered goods to the cosmetics shops in the city every day, she would have Sister Xinghua accompany her, to help sell during the morning as well.

In this way, the shop’s customers could witness Sister Xinghua’s transformation.

With such an example, wouldn’t those young ladies and madams be scrambling to buy?

Ruo Xuan seemed to see a steady stream of wealth flowing in.

After she brought He Xinghua to the cosmetics workshop, she explained her intentions in front of Xuanyuan Que, showcasing her business acumen.

Xuanyuan Que knew that this flower was seeking praise.

Xuanyuan Que nodded his head, "Your idea is not bad, it is only with girls like Miss He that the tested results will be good. Miss He’s brother can also try it, as well as Father He and Mother He. We can also invite villagers with poor skin to try it, pay them wages, and have them serve as live advertisements in the store. Additionally, we can offer free trials to the soldiers in the barracks, and when they go home, their families and villages will naturally notice their differences."

In order to stop this flower from fixating on him, Xuanyuan Que decided to drag everyone into the water.

"Yes, yes, yes! How did I not think of that? We could also have Sister Xinghua deliver to the barracks, that way she could interact more with Uncle."

Xuanyuan Que nodded his head, "That’s right."

This flower was nearly turning into a matchmaker. Was she trying to take over the job of the god of marriage?

But that was better than her spending all day pondering over those bottles and jars.

～

As everyone made arrangements, the days pushed forward step by step, and seven days passed.

The He family had been trying Ruo Xuan’s skincare products every day for the past few days, and their skin visibly grew whiter and more tender by the day, it was almost unbelievable.

The business of the cosmetics shop improved day by day, even attracting customers from the fortified town who had heard of their fame.

It just so happened that the wedding date for Ruo He was set.

It was scheduled for September, before the autumn harvest when the weather would also be a bit cooler.

With three months left, there was ample time to prepare.

Ruo Xuan took the initiative to take on the task of delivering messages to Ruo Hai in the barracks.

The military camp being a vital area was not one where just anyone could enter.

So she asked Xuanyuan Que to find a way to take her there.

Yan Jiaojiao could have done it too, with her father making the arrangements.

But there had been a report in Capital City accusing Great General Yan of debauchery in Shengping County, of having illicit affairs with married women, and for the sake of pleasing his women, treating the military personnel’s promotions as a joke, only promoting those women’s brothers.

As a result, Yan Heng was summoned back to Capital City, and the military affairs of both regions were temporarily handled by another Great General.

Now the military discipline was strict, soldiers were not allowed to go out, and families were not allowed to visit.

However, Xuanyuan Que was reluctant to expose his identity and declined her, "We can’t go for the time being, leave the products here, write down the instructions, and I will have Shopkeeper Gu arrange for someone to deliver them."

This time Ruo Xuan had not only made sunscreen but also prepared many powders for reducing inflammation, stopping blood, relieving pain, and dispersing bruises.

These were made from herbs grown in her own medicinal field, from which she had harvested a batch of powder.

The effectiveness goes without saying, Ruo Xuan was well-versed in the properties of various herbs, and the medicine she formulated could be called Immortal Elixir.

Mere sprinkling of the powder produced by Immortal Elixir on a bleeding wound would immediately stop the bleeding and relieve the pain.

Even festering wounds would mostly heal within three days when treated with it.

Ruo Xuan knew military camp regulations meant it was not an issue if Uncle could not see Sister Xinghua earlier. Every three months, soldiers in the army could take five days of leave, and by then, Uncle would be able to return home and attend the wedding of Third Uncle as well.

Xuanyuan Que asked Shopkeeper Gu to deliver the medicine powder and sunscreen to the barracks.

Shopkeeper Gu thought it was just ordinary hemostatic powder, gave a quick explanation, and had someone deliver it to the military camp.
