The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 331 - 327 Now She’s Not Worthy of Him!

Ruo Shan did not care about the stares of the crowd, nor did he pay attention to the words of the two maidservants.

When the Ruo Family fell on hard times, the difficulties he faced as an apprentice, and the harsh words he heard, were worse than now.

Now, those two maidservants spoke in such a manner simply out of unwillingness and jealousy.

And their unwillingness and envy proved exactly that he was living well, far better than before.

Then, they were just displeased to see him faring well, feeling uncomfortable, that’s all.

The kindness was gone, the affection severed; he owed the Fang Family nothing, and his future was to live well for himself.

He walked away silently.

At this moment, Ruo Chuan drove a horse-drawn carriage up to him and stopped, "I’ve been looking for you for ages; you were here buying pastries!"

Ruo Shan smiled, "I am buying some snacks for Xuanbao."

Ruo Xuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved at Ruo Shan, "Uncle Five, hurry and get on, I’ll take you to see our newly opened medical hall. You can check to see if there’s anything that needs to be changed."

Ruo Shan was surprised, "What newly opened medical hall?"

As he spoke, he climbed onto the carriage.

Ruo Chuan said, "When we first arrived in the Capital City, there was a storefront for sale, and I took it over. Originally, I planned to open a medical hall and a pharmacy, but I didn’t expect you to plan on going back to Shaxi County to open one, so I decided to just make it a pharmacy. Now that you can’t return to Shaxi County for the time being, I might as well turn it into a medical hall to make it convenient for you to practice medicine. We’ll also hire another doctor to be on duty. After your marriage, the medical hall can continue to operate because there will be a doctor there. It’s on Chality Street and has already been renovated. Go see if there’s anything you’d like to modify, and once it’s done, we can open for business."

Ruo Shan’s words reached the ears of Fang Yingying, the two maidservants, and the people waiting in line.

The faces of the two maidservants flushed red; just a moment ago they were mocking someone who couldn’t afford to open a medical hall, and the next moment, his medical hall was up and running!

Chality Street? Isn’t that the busiest street in the Imperial City?

The end of Chality Street is the Imperial City!

The people around couldn’t help but start discussing, "It’s not something anyone can do to take over a shop on Chality Street. To be able to open a medical hall there, the Ruo Family is formidable! They wouldn’t be without silver to prepare a dowry, would they?"

"A family that has produced two Top Scholars and a Great General, saying they don’t have silver for a marriage proposal? They must be crazy!"

"How did the Ruo Family start off? Do you know? Rice yields of a thousand catties per acre! In a year or two, the entire Xuanyuan Country’s populace will have to buy rice seeds from them, selling two to three crops a year -- calling them the nation’s granary wouldn’t be an overstatement! Which food store is as formidable as the Ruo Family? You’re saying the Ruo Family isn’t capable?"

"The Ruo Family also grew mushrooms; the reason we can always buy fresh mushrooms is that the Ruo Family grew them and even published the growing methods! If the Ruo Family didn’t have the strength, would they reveal such an obviously lucrative method? If they were weak, wouldn’t they just keep it to themselves and quietly make money? They’re already earning enough by selling rice seeds!"

"You may not have been to Shaxi County, but I have, accompanying my master there. The lands outside the city gate of Shaxi County’s county town are all owned by the Ruo Family, not for growing crops but filled with flowers and medicinal herbs, as far as the eye can see! Without a bit of strength, how could they have bought the land outside the city gate? It’s said that those flowers are used for making rouge and powders. Everyone knows how expensive rouge and powders are, right? And how costly medicinal herbs are, you all know as well?"

"There’s something else you don’t know, my master said: the best-selling paper in the bookstore comes from the Ruo Family’s paper-making workshop, and the best-selling books in the bookstore are copied by the Ruo Family. The books that sell second best in the bookstore are those copied using inksticks from the Ruo Family!"

"I also heard that the owner behind the Xianyan Cosmetics Shop is someone from the Ruo Family. I don’t know if it’s true or not."

"No way? That cosmetics shop is making a fortune daily! The stuff there, you can’t even buy it if you want to."

...

In the three months since the Ruo Family had arrived in the Capital City, they had become the hottest topic, with almost all of their assets being thoroughly discussed by the public!

The two maidservants were also shocked, so the Ruo Family had already become so formidable?

Isn’t that even more formidable than the Fang Family?

They glanced at their own mistress.

Fang Yingying’s face turned pale.

Yes, the Ruo Family had truly become formidable!

How laughable that her mother still thought that marrying Ruo Shan would be marrying beneath her.

Now, they didn’t even regard her highly.

Now, it was she who wasn’t worthy of him!

*

Nobody knew whether the other Ruo Family members were wealthy, but Xuanbao was definitely a little rich lady.

Lately, she was mad at a certain Divine Monarch, and since she wasn’t seeking his company, she had plenty of time, which she devoted entirely to getting rich.

Every day she worked hard on researching new products!

In Ruo Shan’s arms, Ruo Xuan pointed to a freshly renovated clinic of over a hundred square meters and said with immense pride, "Uncle Five, this is my wedding gift to you. From now on, I’ll be relying on you for my medicinal herbs!"

Ruo Shan touched Ruo Xuan’s head, "This shop must have been difficult to secure, right?"

In the Capital City, the powerful were everywhere; any time a shop went up for sale, there would be a fierce competition. It must have cost a lot of silver, no?

Ruo Shan, "Not difficult. Shopkeeper Gu took care of it."

No wonder he was able to get a shop in this location.

Ruo Xuan pointed at a cloth store directly across, "Uncle Five, that cloth store was gifted to me by The Emperor. In a few days, I will start selling the fabrics I’ve developed there."

Ruo Shan looked over and laughed, "Xuanbao is truly amazing."

He knew that Xuanbao and the Ninth Prince had opened a textile workshop together and had previously purchased a lot of land to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms.

He hadn’t expected the textile workshop to be built so quickly, with fabrics already hitting the market.

However, just like with the Rouge Workshop, the day-to-day management was probably entrusted to Shopkeeper Gu.

Given that, the speed was not surprising.

To show her utmost sincerity to Uncle Five, Xuanbao had been going all out these days, not only creating a series of skincare and cosmetics suitable for summer, called the Hundred Flowers series, but also launching the new fabrics ahead of schedule.

The fabrics woven in the textile workshop she opened with the Divine Monarch would certainly dazzle the entire world!

When her fabrics became world-renowned, Uncle Five could use the fabrics from her workshop as a betrothal gift, surely making everyone envious.

Then, let’s see who would think Uncle Five couldn’t offer a sufficient betrothal gift for marrying the county princess!

Apart from silks and satins, Xuanbao would also include the entire set of Xianyan products as the betrothal gift, ensuring that Uncle Five could welcome Sister Zhaohua to his home with great splendor.

As for gold, silver, and jewels, Xuanbao had a plan for that too!

Xuanbao said to Ruo Shan, "Uncle Five, Little Uncle, I want to go on a boat trip. Will you accompany me?"

The Capital Suburb had a Grand Canal that ran north to south.

In spring and summer, when the flowers on both banks were in full bloom, the scenery was stunningly beautiful.

Therefore, many wealthy families would go for outings on painted pleasure boats during the spring and summer.

Ruo Chuan immediately said, "Little Uncle will go rent a pleasure boat at the docks tomorrow."

If his niece wanted to take a boat outing, of course, he would make proper arrangements!

Ruo Xuan smiled, "Great." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Not only would there be many pleasure boats on that river, but there would also be numerous merchant ships sailing.

Through the ages, countless ships had sunk.

In the previous dynasty, there was a highly corrupt official who, knowing that his possessions were about to be confiscated, decided to throw a great deal of gold, silver, and jewels into the river in hopes of preserving a portion of his wealth for his descendants.

Unfortunately, he was far too greedy. The Emperor of the previous dynasty executed his entire family lineage, leaving no one behind. Those treasures sank to the bottom of the river, never to see the light of day again!

Isn’t that just making things easy for her? Hehe
