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

When Tang Wan returned to her residence in the prefectural government, the sun was already setting.

Only a few scattered bags of grain remained piled up to one side of the yard. Wang Dazheng and a farmer worked together to load them onto a handcart, preparing to transport them to the warehouse in the backyard.

Zhu Xi was checking the numbers in the booklet when she saw Tang Wan come in. She immediately came up to her and said in a low voice, "Miss, you're back. Most of the grain from this afternoon's shipment has already been stored away. There are only these few bags left, they'll be ready soon."

Tang Wan glanced at the orderly courtyard and nodded in satisfaction: "You did a great job."

She didn't disturb them any longer as they finished up, and went back to the main house to rest.

Only after the courtyard had completely quieted down, and Wang Da came over to report that all the grain had been stored away, did Tang Wan step out of the room again.

Tang Wan walked straight to the warehouse in the backyard.

The warehouse door was tightly closed. Tang Wan stood in front of the door, her fingertips twitching slightly. She gently moved several seemingly ordinary stones that actually contained spiritual power, and finally placed a talisman on a piece of jade.

A flash of inspiration struck, and thus, a composite formation combining protection, moisture control, and simple camouflage was created, ensuring the absolute safety of the grain stored inside.

Ordinary people can get close without any problem, but they can't enter the warehouse.

After doing all this, Tang Wan said to Zhu Xi, who was waiting beside her, "Let's go. Have Wang Da drive us to the rouge shop. You've been busy all day, so you can rest in the carriage."

"Yes, Miss," Zhu Xi replied cheerfully.

Wang Da quickly prepared the car and drove Tang Wan and Zhu Xi smoothly towards the rouge shop.

Upon arriving at the rouge shop, Tang Wan went inside, sat down, looked at the account book, observed the two new maids, and offered them a few words of encouragement.

When the shop closed, she took Zhuxi and boarded the carriage back to the Tang family.

The next day, after finishing her household chores in the morning, Tang Wan went to the prefectural government residence as usual.

Today is the last day for Zhuangzi's grain transport, but she has to personally dispel the formation, otherwise the grain will not be able to be transported into the warehouse.

Moreover, after the grain from the manor is transported out today, Tang Wan will also have to put the grain from her spatial storage into the warehouse.

As usual, Zhuxi and Wang Da were busy today.

Early in the morning, Wang Da rushed to the village and returned with the caravan. Zhu Xi stayed at the manor in the prefectural government to guard the gate.

After all the grain had been transported in the afternoon, Zhu Xi and Wang Da entered the house and handed the details to Tang Wan, smiling as they said, "Miss, all the dried and weighed grain on the estate is here, totaling 250,000 catties. The ledger is here; please take a look."

Tang Wan took the ledger and nodded in satisfaction. Zhu Xi's records were very clear and easy to understand.

Tang Wan calmly said to Wang Da, "The grain has all been stored in the warehouse, and the quantity has been verified. Wang Da, go to the Zhao family later and ask Young Master Zhao to send someone to receive this 500,000 jin of grain."

Tang Wan paused briefly, then continued, "Wang Da, before going to the Zhao family, take Zhu Xi to the rouge shop. There's nothing to do here for now."

“Yes, Miss!” Wang Da replied loudly.

Wang Da accepted the order and left with light steps.

After bowing to Tang Wan, Zhu Xi also left.

After everyone left, Tang Wan went directly to the back warehouse and put the 200,000 jin from the spatial warehouse into the house's warehouse, which she would then give to the Zhao family.

There are also 50,000 jin of sorghum in the warehouse, which can be reserved for the Yu family to use for brewing wine.

After doing all this, Tang Wan left the warehouse and set up a protective array once again.

Tang Wan went back to her room to rest, while waiting for news from Wang Da. After all, she would have to come over when the Zhao family came to collect the grain. Since the agreed date hadn't arrived yet, Tang Wan hadn't set a date for the Zhao family to collect the grain and needed to wait for news from Wang Da.

Since there was still quite a while before my appointment with Ding Li, I wasn't in a hurry to leave.

At this moment, Tang Wan noticed Wang Xiaohua's small body peeking out.

Tang Wan beckoned and said, "Xiao Hua, come here!"

Wang Xiaohua jogged over and gave Tang Wan a somewhat awkward bow.

Tang Wan declined her formalities, patted her head, and asked, "How is your recovery going?"

"Reporting to the master, I have fully recovered. My brother has been giving me nourishing food every day, just as the master instructed, and I am feeling great now!" Xiaohua answered Tang Wan's question earnestly, not forgetting to praise her brother.

Tang Wan didn't expose her little scheme, but just smiled and said, "That's good. Let your brother give you some good nourishment. If you're well nourished, you won't get sick so easily."

Wang Xiaohua nodded hurriedly, then looked up and asked, "Would the host like some tea?"

Tang Wan shook her head and replied, "No need, you go and do your thing!"

Watching Wang Xiaohua leave, Tang Wan turned and went back into the house.

She didn't want such a small child to do chores; he was seven years old, but looked only five.

Even if they look seven years old, they are still too young, it feels like child labor is being used.

Moreover, Wang Xiaohua didn't sell herself to him; she was just temporarily staying there.

Tang Wan went back to her room, took a cup of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and drank it. Then she took out a book and read it while waiting for Wang Da to return.

Wang Da returned quickly and immediately reported to Tang Wan.

Tang Wan asked Wang Da to come inside and give her a reply.

Wang Dayi hurriedly bowed upon entering and then said, "Master, the Zhao family said they will go to the Bai family tomorrow to discuss the marriage, and will come to collect the grain the day after tomorrow."

Tang Wan nodded slightly, glanced at the sky outside, and said, "Okay, I understand. You've worked hard. Go and rest for a quarter of an hour, and then take me to the fortune-telling shop."

Just as Tang Wan was waiting for Wang Da to escort her to the consulting shop, the atmosphere at the guild hall where the Southern Desert delegation was located in the capital was quite unusual.

The Emperor's decree to confer the title of Grand Tutor's granddaughter as the Princess Consort of Prince Kang, and the explicit statement that the rites for the Princess Consort would be performed first and the rites for the concubines would follow, was like a resounding slap in the face to the members of the Southern Desert delegation.

The atmosphere at the clubhouse has been extremely oppressive these past two days.

The group gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

But the deputy envoy from the Southern Desert was never one to hold his temper. As soon as the topic was brought up, the deputy envoy angrily slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground with a loud bang, shattering the cup into pieces.

The Vice-Princess of Nanmo's chest heaved violently as she roared in anger, "This is outrageous! The Emperor of Great Xia is deliberately humiliating my Nanmo! A mere concubine position is already a humiliation, but now he's deliberately emphasizing that the other party comes first. It's clearly telling us that my Nanmo princess doesn't even have the right to pay homage to that Grand Tutor's granddaughter on the same day!"

The Southern Desert Envoy appeared relatively calm, but that was only a superficial appearance. A closer look would reveal that his clenched fists betrayed his inner fury.

He took a deep breath and said in an icy voice, "The War King's attitude is tough, and His Majesty is eager to reverse the decline. We originally had no choice but to accept this concubine position. But if we accept it now, what face will our Southern Desert have among the other countries?"

Princess Anas, sitting quietly to the side, had eyes full of resentment. (End of Chapter)
