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

Chapter 809 Late Night
Tang Wan returned from the backyard and said to Wang Dadao, who was wiping down the carriage, "Wang Da, I put two bags of rice and one bag of flour outside the warehouse in the backyard, which are specially for you and Xiaohua. Also, there are a few chickens and rabbits in the backyard. You can keep two chickens to lay eggs, and you can kill the rest every now and then to nourish yourselves and Xiaohua."

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Wang Da's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he choked out, "Master, this is too much trouble for you!"

There were still a few chickens and rabbits left from the previous visit, but the host brought more.

The family was incredibly kind to me and my sister.

"There's no need to say that," Tang Wan said gently, waving her hand to interrupt him.

Then, Tang Wan took out a small money pouch that she had prepared beforehand from her sleeve and handed it over, saying, "This is your monthly allowance. Since I'm here today, I'll give it to you in advance. Otherwise, if I get busy before I leave, I might forget about it, which would be bad."

Wang Da accepted the money bag with both hands and said gratefully, "Thank you, sir!"

Tang Wan then took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Wang Da, instructing him, "This is specially for Xiao Hua to improve her health. Just give Xiao Hua a sip every day, and this should last for about twenty days."

"Master! Thank you so much! It's such a blessing for us to have met you!" Wang Da's voice was choked with emotion.

Tang Wan looked at the excited Wang Da, her tone still calm, and slowly said, "After I leave Mobei, your monthly salary will be paid to you on schedule by Zhu Yun from the Rouge Shop. You can stay here and guard the house, and don't forget to learn to read and write."

"Yes! I understand! Thank you, Master! I will definitely take good care of the house and study diligently!" Wang Da nodded vigorously in reply.

Seeing his excited expression, Tang Wan didn't say anything more, but simply nodded slightly and said, "Take me to the rouge shop!"

Tang Wan planned to go home directly from the rouge shop with Zhu Xi.

The carriage stopped in front of the rouge shop. Tang Wan got off the carriage, lifted the curtain, and went into the shop.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few female customers in the shop today, with five or six women making selections.

Wang Chuntao was introducing face powder to a well-dressed lady, while Zhu Die was packing perfume and lip balm for two young ladies who had come together.

The two new maids were still a bit inexperienced, but they tried their best to greet them.

Tang Wan didn't see Zhu Xi and Zhu Yun; they were probably upstairs giving treatment to guests.

Seeing how busy the shop was, Tang Wan didn't put on airs as the owner and naturally joined in the busy work.

Although Tang Wan was dressed in men's clothing that allowed her to move around easily, she did not deliberately lower her voice when she spoke. Therefore, as soon as she spoke, the guests knew that she was a woman dressed as a man, so they did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Tang Wan approached a customer who was hesitating about which hand cream to choose, inquired about their needs, and offered constructive advice based on their skin type and requirements, quickly facilitating the transaction.

Moreover, because of her detailed explanation, the customer chose another body lotion.

Tang Wan accepted the money and had Chunxing pack the things.

Tang Wan's gaze swept across the corner of the shop, and she noticed Ah Qi.

She stood with her arms crossed against the wall, her gaze sweeping across the room calmly yet sharply.

Ah Qi rarely appears on ordinary days. She only shows up quietly when there are many people around like today, or when she senses that there might be trouble.

Thinking that Ah Qi was originally a bodyguard sent by the War King to protect her, but was instead assigned by her to look after the shop, Tang Wan couldn't help but smile.

However, with this expert in charge, the shop's safety is indeed not a problem.

When Ah Qi saw Tang Wan looking at him, he nodded slightly as a greeting.

When Tang Wan saw A Qi, she suddenly missed the War King.

The two haven't been in contact for a long time.

Before, when Er Ya was by the War King's side, at least she could get news from his side.

Or if something happens on his end, he can inform me through Er Ya.

But now that Er Ya has left the War King's side, she doesn't even have this much information anymore.

Fortunately, I'm going back to Beijing soon, so I'll be able to see them again then.

The War King, however, didn't know how long he could stay in the capital. After all, he had always been guarding the northern frontier.

Never mind, we'll talk about it when we meet.

Tang Wan felt relieved and continued to help serve the guests for a while until this peak of the crowd passed.

Zhu Xi also came downstairs. When she saw Tang Wan, she quickly came over and said, "Miss, you've arrived."

"Yes, I'm a bit busy today. I'll take good care of Chunxing and Chunyu during this time, and teach them nursing skills when I have some free time," Tang Wan nodded and said in a low voice.

"This servant understands," Zhu Xi readily agreed.

Tang Wan saw that Zhu Xi had also come downstairs. There weren't many people in the shop at the moment, so she said to Zhu Xi, "You guys go ahead with your work. I'll go to the study in the back for a while, and we'll go back together tonight."

Zhu Xi smiled and replied, "Yes, Miss! Would you like me to bring in some tea and snacks?"

"You go about your business, don't worry about me," Tang Wan waved her hand. "I have some accounts to check quietly."

Tang Wan found a plausible excuse.

"Yes, I understand," Zhu Xi replied, and asked no further questions.

Tang Wan turned and walked into the small study in the back room of the shop, locking the door behind her.

After ensuring that no one could disturb her, Tang Wan entered the space with a slight thought.

Time was of the essence, so Tang Wan went straight to the villa's workshop.

The large number of flower petals that had been picked and prepared earlier had already been neatly piled up.

Tang Wan focused her mind and immediately began to circulate her spiritual energy to extract the essential oil.

Even though you've been working on it for several hours, you haven't extracted much essential oil.

After all, this stuff is extracted little by little, and the amount that can be extracted from a large pile of petals is limited.

Tang Wan stopped when she felt exhausted.

After drinking the spiritual spring water downstairs, she sensed that it was already late outside and then slipped out of the space.

Zhu Xi was packing her things when she saw Tang Wan come out and greeted her: "Miss, are you done?"

"Okay! Let's get ready to go back!" Tang Wan nodded slightly.

In the days that followed, Tang Wan's life became regular and busy.

During the day, besides keeping track of household affairs, she also helped her mother, Wang, pack her belongings.

Sometimes he would discuss the details of returning to Beijing with his father, behaving no differently than usual.

Or she could visit the cannery. She also specifically instructed Chen Da to have two walls built separately above the new cellar to create a special storage room for cosmetics.

Sometimes, Tang Wan would use the excuse of going for a walk in the nearby mountains to find a secluded and deserted place. After confirming that it was safe around her, she would quietly disappear from the spot with a slight thought.

More often than not, it happens late at night.

Only after confirming that her sister had fallen asleep did she dare to open her eyes in the darkness, and then silently enter the space. Besides refining and extracting essential oils, she also took the time to harvest and plant crops in the space.

However, the alternating day and night schedule during this period made Tang Wan look somewhat tired.

Even with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, the body still didn't get a real rest.

By the sixth day, Tang Wan had extracted enough essential oil for her needs.

Updated! Thanks for your support!
