Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 237: Winemaking
Looking at the garden full of red flowers and green grass, Le Zhao couldn’t help but sigh, "All the way here, it’s been fighting and killing. I’ve almost forgotten that there is such a refined activity as appreciating flowers."
"Without fighting, how can it be Jianghu?" Duan Yunfei sighed lightly, "While we don’t have to follow those words that say one thing but mean another, let’s cherish this moment of peace."
Le Zhao sighed softly, then changed the subject, "Yan Yijie, that little brat, even said he would bring Miss Tang over to play, yet he hasn’t returned."
Duan Yunfei picked a grape and handed it to Shen Qinglan before whispering, "It’s a rare sunny day in the Prefecture; I reckon he’s gone to the lake."
"Truly a guy who forgets friends for beauty." Le Zhao sneered lightly.
"Speaking of which." He looked at Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan and asked, "When will your Qingyun Inn open?"
"In two days, if all goes well." Duan Yunfei answered.

In the afternoon, Shen Qinglan finally asked a few people to help bring back the grapes, and Old Yang also brought over the bought rock sugar.
"Miss Shen, what do we do next?" Xuan Ying asked with interest.
Shen Qinglan went to the kitchen to get a small knife, cut the grapes in half, and then placed them in a clay jar.
The others, seeing this, also busied themselves following her example.
Once cut, Shen Qinglan added an appropriate amount of rock sugar and then had Old Yang seal the jar.
"How long before we can drink it?" asked Duan Yunfei.
"About two months."
Shen Qinglan murmured regretfully, "It’s a pity we don’t have white liquor, or adding some would make it taste even better."
"What did you say?" Duan Yunfei, closest to her, asked.
"Nothing," Shen Qinglan replied, "This can now be moved into the house."
"Two months before drinking?" Xuan Ying said regretfully, "We’ll soon be heading back to Jinxi Town, can’t wait that long!"
Shen Qinglan responded by looking at him with a concerned gaze.
"Saying you’re foolish, yet you don’t like to hear it." Xuan Ming said, "Can’t we take it on the carriage when we leave?"
"Oh right!" Xuan Ying scratched the back of his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Everyone shook their heads and laughed lightly.
When Yan Yijie returned, it was already close to dinner time.
This time, the people he brought back included Tang Wan and Ding Xuan.
"Miss Shen, it’s been a while!"
Upon seeing Shen Qinglan, Tang Wan quickly greeted her with a smile.
Shen Qinglan lightly curved her lips and nodded, "Miss Tang!"
Tang Wan also nodded slightly to the others one by one, as for Ding Xuan, since entering, her eyes had been glued to Duan Yunfei.
Shen Qinglan, perhaps intentionally or not, moved her body slightly towards Duan Yunfei, blocking Ding Xuan’s sight directly.
Ding Xuan glared at Shen Qinglan unhappily.
Shen Qinglan, however, acted as if she hadn’t noticed, smiling gently, appearing composed.
Duan Yunfei said, "Dinner is almost ready; please take a seat, Miss Tang."
As for Ding Xuan, she was directly ignored by everyone.
Ding Xuan couldn’t help but glare at Shen Qinglan again.
This morning, she didn’t pay attention, but now she sees that whether in figure or appearance, Shen Qinglan has improved a lot since last year.
Previously, Shen Qinglan barely reached Duan Yunfei’s shoulder when she stood next to him; now, she’s taller than his shoulder.
Standing one in front of the other, their figures and appearances surprisingly match well, and this realization makes her very repelled and jealous.
Tang Wan is a perceptive girl, knowing at a glance that everyone here doesn’t like her cousin much.
She felt helpless too; originally, after returning from the lake with Yan Yijie, she intended to return to the mansion to change before visiting, but unexpectedly, upon returning, she heard from the maid inside that Ding Xuan and her aunt had been waiting in her courtyard all afternoon.
