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

Chapter 823

At this time, Tang Wan was completely unaware of the turmoil in the capital.

The 500,000 jin of grain had just been counted and handed over when Young Master Zhao bid another solemn farewell and left with his fully loaded grain carts.

Tang Wan stood in front of the gate, watching the convoy drive away, and then looked at the heavy sandalwood box in her hand.

At this moment, a touch of sadness at parting suddenly welled up in my heart.

Since receiving the imperial decree, everyone felt that they could finally return to the capital from their place of exile, and they were mostly happy and expectant. She herself had been busy dealing with various matters and did not feel any sense of parting or sadness.

Today, at this moment, is the first time I've felt this way.

Having been in the northern desert for less than a year, there's nothing I can't bear to leave behind, but this is also the place where I've spent the longest time since I transmigrated.

Even if I return to the capital, I probably won't be as free.

Tang Wan saw that Zhao Si Gongzi and his party had disappeared without a trace, turned around and went back to the main house. With a slight thought, she entered the space again.

She first opened the two sandalwood boxes, inside which lay six pieces of warm and lustrous jade.

She picked them up one by one and examined them with her spiritual power. Sure enough, although they were uncarved, they were full of spiritual energy and pure in texture, making them excellent materials for making magical artifacts.

She carefully placed it down, then turned and left the study.

She went to the cosmetics workshop to continue the unfinished filling and mixing work.

About half an hour later, Zhu Xi's soft call came from outside the space.

Tang Wan stepped out, and Zhu Xi, carrying a heavy cloth bag, said with a relaxed smile, "Miss, the transfer procedures for the land deeds of the two estates have been completed. The total amount of money is 2,300 taels of silver, which I have withdrawn and exchanged for silver notes that can be exchanged at the Huitong Money Exchange in the capital, as you instructed, and some gold ingots that are easy to carry."

Zhu Xi could have delivered it to her young mistress that evening, but since the delivery was offered after finishing her business, she decided to deliver it directly to the residence, knowing that her mistress was coming today.

Tang Wan nodded slightly, took the cloth bag, and praised, "Well done, thank you for your hard work. Rest for a while and let Wang Da take you back to the rouge shop."

"Yes," Zhu Xi replied with a smile, then got up and left.

Tang Wan then returned to the space.

She stopped touching the cosmetic ingredients and returned to her study, where she washed her hands, burned incense, and began drawing talismans.

With her departure imminent, she needed to leave enough "stock" for the fortune-telling shop. Although she had prepared some beforehand, the more the better. She would draw some whenever she had time, and if there were too many, she could keep them in her storage space for future use.

With flowing strokes and infused with spiritual energy, she created talismans of various effects from her brush until she felt her spiritual senses were slightly fatigued, at which point she stopped writing.

After a short rest, she sorted out the feng shui ornaments that had been nurtured—golden turtles, gourds of various colors, unicorns, etc.—wrapped them in specially made soft cloth, and placed them into several appropriately sized brocade boxes.

After doing all this, she felt that the weather outside was still alright, so she left the space and called Wang Da: "Prepare the carriage, let's go to the inquiry shop."

"Yes, Master." Wang Da hurriedly replied.

The carriage quickly arrived at the entrance of the fortune-telling shop. As soon as Tang Wan entered, Boss Wan greeted her with a smile and said, "Master has arrived!"

Following behind Tang Wan, Wang Da carried several brocade boxes and an oil paper package.

She looked at Boss Wan and said directly, "These are the feng shui ornaments and a batch of commonly used talismans that I have recently made. In addition to the usual gourds and money turtles, there are also a few pairs of qilin."

Tang Wan handed a piece of paper to Boss Wan and said, "I've listed the types and uses of talismans, as well as the uses of the Qilin. This should be enough to sustain the shop for a while. After I leave, the shop will be entirely in your hands. I'll contact you again once things have stabilized back in the capital." Boss Wan looked at the feng shui ornaments and the thick stack of talismans, solemnly accepted the list, and said sincerely, "Master, rest assured, I will do my utmost to manage the fortune-telling shop well and live up to your expectations."

Tang Wan nodded; she had confidence in Boss Wan's abilities.

After hesitating for a moment, Boss Wan asked, "Master, could you leave a few Truth Talismans? In case there are special circumstances that require me to speak the truth, having Truth Talismans can save me a lot of trouble."

I have used the Truth Talisman twice on my own, and I know how to use it. Moreover, the Truth Talisman really works.

Tang Wan thought for a moment, then took out two cards from her spatial storage and handed them to Boss Wan, instructing him, "These two cards are only for emergencies. Do not use them casually. If you encounter a knowledgeable opponent, this could cause problems. Moreover, if too many people know about it, they will all come to you with problems. What's the point of having government offices then?"

After all, Boss Wan is just an ordinary person. If he happens to encounter an expert in this field, it's not impossible that he might use the Truth Talisman to do something else.

If I were present, this problem wouldn't exist. And if I encountered someone trying to cause trouble, I would be able to tell.

Upon hearing this, Boss Wan quickly agreed: "I understand, and I will certainly act with caution."

Tang Wan nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I trust Boss Wan."

After a few more brief words, Tang Wan got up and left without lingering any longer.

"Let's go, take me home." Tang Wan boarded the carriage and said to Wang Dadao.

The carriage slowly drove away from the prefectural capital and headed towards the Tang family's residence outside the city. Wang Da was now very familiar with the route to the Tang family and didn't need Tang Wan to remind him at all.

When Tang Wan returned home, she first changed her clothes, and then went to the main room to pay her respects to her father, Tang Bojun, and her mother, Wang Shi.

After exchanging greetings, Tang Wan sat for a short while before rising to take her leave.

"Father, Mother, Sister, please continue your conversation. I need to go and store the finished skincare products in the back warehouse, so I'll take my leave now," Tang Wan said calmly.

"Go on, go on. You've worked hard these past few days, and you've been busy all day today. I'll treat you to something nice tonight," Wang said gently.

The older sister, Tang Jing, also said softly, "Second sister, please go ahead and do your work. If you need any help, just call me anytime."

"Thank you, sister," Tang Wan replied, turning and leaving the main house.

Back in my room, I opened the chest and looked at the porcelain bottles that had already been filled. There was less than half a chest left; the ones I had made earlier had been placed in the room specifically for cosmetics.

Tang Wan closed the door, and with a slight thought, took out some porcelain bottles from her spatial storage and arranged them neatly.

These are all cosmetics made in the space.

Tang Wan walked to the door, called over two rough-working women, and instructed them: "Move all of these to the newly opened room in the back workshop. Be careful not to bump or knock them over."

"Yes, Second Miss," the old women replied hastily.

Tang Wan then handed the key to the room to one of the old women and watched them move their things away.

Tang Wan then sat down, took out porcelain bottles and raw materials from her spatial storage, and continued to fill cosmetics.

A short while later, the two old women came back to report and returned the key.
