Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 700 Setting Up the Formation
Seven days later, Tang Wan arrived at the Gao residence as promised.

The butler greeted them at the door with a beaming smile, saying, "Master! You've finally arrived! The eldest young master and the old lady are waiting in the hall!"

Upon entering the main hall, Gao Wenxuan appeared radiant.

Madam Gao is the elderly mother of Master Gao, and Tang Wan had never met her before.

Although the old lady was quite old, she had a rosy complexion and was in very good spirits.

Gao Wenxuan immediately stood up, quickly went to greet him, and bowed, saying, "Master! My father felt at peace the day after you left! Now he is in great spirits and can get out of bed and walk around! The whole household is at ease! This is all thanks to you, Master."

Madam Gao nodded with a smile: "My old bones feel much more relaxed now, and I slept soundly last night. Thank you, Master."

"Madam, Young Master Gao, you flatter me. This is my duty," Tang Wan said with a smile.

With the foul air cleared away, Tang Wan felt relieved.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Wan asked Gao Wenxuan to take her to the small garden in the northeast again.

The jade gourd suspended in mid-air, originally a warm and lustrous green, now faintly revealed a hint of dark red.

This dark red color is the filth sealed by the jade gourd.

Tang Wan reached out her hand, and the gourd gently fell into her palm. Tang Wan casually put it into her spatial storage. The jade gourd would slowly be purified even if left unattended in the space.

"The foul air has been removed," Tang Wan announced after putting the gourd away.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master!" Gao Wenxuan was now completely relieved.

Next, Tang Wan planned to fulfill her promise and set up a small but exquisite "calming and energy-gathering array" for the main residence of the Gao family.

So he instructed Gao Wenxuan, "Young Master Gao, you need to prepare a few pieces of jade with spiritual energy. The size doesn't matter. You need spiritual stones to set up the Tranquil Mind and Gather Qi Array."

Young Master Gao quickly instructed his steward to retrieve the jade from the warehouse.

A short while later, the steward and his servant brought over a whole row of jade stones of different sizes.

Tang Wan examined them one by one, and found that not all the jade stones here possessed spiritual energy.

However, as long as there is some spiritual energy, it is fine; it doesn't have to be particularly abundant. Such spiritual energy is not hard to find.

Having found suitable materials, Tang Wan placed several jade stones imbued with spiritual energy in key locations such as Master Gao's bedroom, study, and main house, and made some minor adjustments based on their orientation.

Once the formation is complete, a tranquil and peaceful aura spreads out, subtly nourishing the mind and body.

Of course, this peaceful atmosphere is not something that ordinary people can see, but Tang Wan still had to explain: "This formation can ensure that the aura of the Gao family mansion is peaceful and stable, nourishing the body and mind. Master Gao can rest assured and recuperate."

Gao Wenxuan became increasingly grateful to Tang Wan.

Before parting, Gao Wenxuan presented another brocade box: "Master, you have saved my Gao family from dire straits twice, your kindness is like giving me a second life! This is just a small token of my appreciation, I hope you will not refuse it again!"

Tang Wan did not take it immediately this time. Instead, she looked at Gao Wenxuan and said slowly, "The jade used for this formation was provided by the manor. I only did a little work. If we have to talk about payment," she held up five fingers, "five hundred taels is enough."

"Five hundred taels?" Gao Wenxuan was stunned. Considering the magnitude of the master's two donations, this was practically free!
Tang Wan smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Gao is a man of integrity and trustworthiness. In this matter concerning the manor, Young Master Gao was worried about his family and told them frankly. I am grateful for this trust and sincerity. This five hundred taels is a reward for your hard work in setting up the formation, and also a token of my sincerity."

Her words were brief yet clearly expressed her appreciation for Gao Wenxuan's character.

This extremely low fee was a gesture of goodwill and a desire to build a closer relationship. Gao Wenxuan, being a shrewd man, instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Tang Wan's words and actions!
His heart warmed, and his eyes shone brightly; he had been recognized by the master.

He stopped insisting and solemnly presented the silver notes with both hands: "Master, I am deeply grateful for your kindness! It is the Gao family's good fortune to befriend you!"

Tang Wan accepted the five hundred taels without hesitation, then took her leave.

Gao Wenxuan personally escorted the carriage to the gate of the mansion until it had disappeared into the distance.

Just as he returned to the inquiry shop, the Gao family sent someone after him again, bringing him an exquisite double-layered mahogany pastry box.

The visitor said respectfully, "Master, this is a small token of the old lady's appreciation. It consists of some newly made delicacies from the manor. She said she wanted you to try them, so please don't refuse."

Tang Wan smiled and accepted it this time without refusing.

Having resolved the issue of the Gao family's supplies and alleviated the Southern Desert grain convoy's biggest concern, the next step is to address the Zhao family's grain needs.

The appointed day will arrive in a few days.

There's one last batch of grain to harvest. Once this batch is harvested, the agreed-upon grain quota can be exceeded.

Tang Wan returned home from the inquiry shop, and as soon as she entered the house, she heard Er Ya calling her.

“Master, Master!” Er Ya exclaimed excitedly, “I’ve arrived at the War King’s side.”

Er Ya always remembered her master's words and immediately contacted the War King upon seeing him.

Tang Wan was indeed very happy to hear Er Ya's news, and asked with a smile, "How was your journey? How is the War King doing?"

She hadn't heard from the War King for a long time since losing contact with him.

"The situation is fine on the War King's side. All I know is that the war hasn't officially started yet," Er Ya said somewhat embarrassedly. "I haven't had time to ask anything else."

"It's alright, it's good that there's no war, it's safer when there's no war," Tang Wan said with a smile, trying to reassure her.

Er Ya paused for a moment after hearing Tang Wan's words, and then continued, "However, our supplies are very popular here. Apart from food and anti-inflammatory medicine, the War King now uses them as rewards for meritorious soldiers."

"That's great, it can motivate everyone." Tang Wanzhen thought so, and she didn't know if the War King did it after listening to her suggestion.

She had suggested to the War King that these items could be rewarded to those who had made contributions.

But then Tang Wan thought again that if these supplies were a reward, they might not be enough.

So he said to Er Ya, "Er Ya, go and ask the War King if we should send more supplies. Isn't this too little as a reward?"

"Yes, Master, I'll go ask right away, just a moment." Er Ya replied readily.

Tang Wan waited for a short while before Er Ya's voice came through again.

"Master, the War King said there's no need for such trouble. If we don't have enough supplies, we can owe them to everyone and distribute them when we return to the Northern Desert." Er Ya's voice was clearly tinged with excitement.

Tang Wan hadn't expected this approach either, and she laughed along, "That's right, you can do it this way! How come I didn't think of that! The War King is so clever."

"The War King... The War King also told me to tell Master that... he thanks Master for his concern!" Er Ya said this somewhat awkwardly, as she shouldn't have said it, but she couldn't refuse, so she said it in such a hesitant manner.
