Chapter 116 I Want All the Handsome Men in the World
The pond was drained, and Yan Nanfei, along with Feng Shan and Lin Feng, went to bury lotus seeds.
Yan Nanfei stood by the pond, looking at the several acres of pond. If it were used to raise fish, it could yield a lot of money every year.
Therefore, Yan Nanfei frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Feng Shan, and she asked him, "Feng Shan, do you know where I can buy fish fry?"
Yan Nanfei pondered that once the lotus flowers grew, he could release a batch of fish fry and thus reap threefold profits.
One portion comes from the profits of selling fish, another from the profits of lotus roots, and the third from the profits of lotus flowers.
With so many lotus flowers, Yan Nanfei certainly couldn't possibly admire them all by himself.
If we were to sell this, it would cause quite a stir.
After all, there were no lotus flowers in this dynasty.
"I know, my lady." Feng Shan's calm and handsome face looked at Yan Nanfei's face. A gentle breeze blew, and her hair was blown up, which stirred his heart.
His eyes also became deep.
His wife is so beautiful!
"Should we buy them in a few days?" Feng Shan could figure it out even with his toes. The fishpond was dry, and even if he bought fish fry and released them, they wouldn't survive.
We can only start buying fish fry once the pond is filled with water again.
Therefore, he needed to find out when Yan Nanfei planned to buy the fish fry so he could go to the fish fry seller and order a batch of fish fry from him.
“It will take about five or six days to fill this pond with water. Go and order fish fry tomorrow.” Yan Nanfei thought for a moment and then said, “When you come back, bring some pastries with you. I haven’t had them in so long, I’m really craving them.”
"Yes, my lady." Feng Shan bowed and greeted her, as if Yan Nanfei were an official.
This really made Yan Nanfei laugh.
Moreover, Feng Shan was so upset that he didn't even notice that the pastries at home were gone..."
Actually, every time I go to town, I buy a lot of snacks and pastries when the mountain is closed, but Yan Nanfei can eat a lot.
"By the way, most importantly, buy a lot of menstrual cloths to take home. Buying several dozen taels is no problem." Yan Nanfei was particularly concerned about this kind of thing: "In case the merchants who sell these leave Qingshan Town to escape, where will we find these?"
Anyway, if stored properly, it won't get bad.
"Yes, my lady." Feng Shan thought Yan Nanfei's words made a lot of sense; the more menstrual flow, the better.
Otherwise they won't make it, and what if they can't buy it later?
"Then let's start planting!" Yan Nanfei rolled up his trousers and sleeves. "With the three of us working together, I'm sure we'll be done planting in no time!"
Yan Nanfei's body was very white, with her ankles and wrists as white as jade, shimmering with a translucent white.
"Miss Yan, if you are tired, please don't push yourself. Take a rest when you need to." Lin Feng didn't stop Yan Nanfei from working, because he thought going down to the pond was a lot of fun.
The mountain closure did not stop Yan Nanfei, because he could see that Yan Nanfei really wanted to plant lotus flowers himself.
In addition, the silt in the pond was cool and wouldn't burn Yan Nanfei, causing her to sweat profusely.
"How can doing what you love be tiring?" Yan Nanfei's face was beaming with a bright smile, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
At Yan Nanfei's command, Feng Shan led the way, Yan Nanfei walked in the middle, and Lin Feng followed behind.
The two of them protected Yan Nanfei from both sides, taking care of her at all times to prevent her from falling into the mud of the pond.
Yan Nanfei stepped into the mud, the cool earthy scent flowing from her feet into her whole body, which felt very comfortable.
She felt a peculiar sensation as her feet sank into the mud.
The feeling was like stepping on something light and soft, making her feel completely enveloped in it.
She couldn't help but squat down slightly, placing her hands on the mud, closing her eyes, and enjoying the comfortable feeling.
Lin Feng and Feng Shan watched her from the side, a faint yet happy smile on their lips, their eyes filled with intense love for Yan Nanfei.
In their hearts, they all hoped that Yan Nanfei would always be so happy and forever so pure and innocent.
The lotus seeds that Yan Nanfei planted were not enough to plant all the flowers in such a large pond.
The lotus seeds soaked later will take a few more days to germinate.
But watching the three of them work so hard to plant the lotus seeds in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they felt a great sense of accomplishment!
"Done!" Yan Nanfei smiled broadly. The three of them went to a nearby puddle and washed their hands and feet, which were covered in mud.
As soon as they got home, they saw a group of villagers surging towards them from not far away.
Judging from their posture, it seems they're heading towards Yan Nanfei and his group.
"My lady, be careful." Feng Shan stood in front of Yan Nanfei.
Lin Feng immediately joined in, saying, "Miss Yan, don't be afraid, we're here."
"Nanfei, please lend us some money! I can't let my son join the army!"
"Your parents left you so much money, lend us some, we won't forget you!"
"Exactly, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
The villagers pleaded for help, but their eyes were like those of wolves and tigers, devoid of any gratitude.
"If you dare come any closer, believe me, I'll crush your head!" Feng Shan said in a cold voice, looking at the villagers who were getting closer and almost threatening Yan Nanfei's safety. He was not joking.
The villagers' seriousness about the mountain closure was evident to all. They knew very well that the closure was no joke, and they all stopped their approach.
Although their steps stopped, their mouths continued to speak.
“You let us stop, no problem.” The villager said matter-of-factly, “Have her produce the gold bars and pay all the young men in Qingshan Town who are to be conscripted five hundred taels of silver, and we’ll leave right away!”
Their boastful tone made Yan Nanfei exclaim that they were experts!
"Are you all dreaming?" Yan Nanfei pushed aside Feng Shan and Lin Feng, directly escalating the situation and engaging in a verbal battle with the group of scholars!
"What do you have to do with me? You're asking me to pay five hundred taels for all of you? Do you know that's robbery?" Yan Nanfei's sharp eyes were filled with icy coldness as he looked at them. "If I go to the authorities to report you, I'll win every time!"
Sure enough, any normal person would be afraid when they go to the government office.
After all, if someone has a criminal record, their daughter can't take the imperial examinations and inherit the same status.
Therefore, when they heard that Yan Nanfei was going to report to the authorities, they immediately fell silent.
This is in stark contrast to the noisy scene just now.
Yan Nanfei looked at the villagers who dared not speak anymore, and gritted his teeth: "Who sent you to find me?"
Although Yan Nanfei might have guessed the answer, she still wanted to confirm it.
The villagers looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Since none of you are going to speak, then I will." Yan Nanfei glanced at everyone and said coldly, "Feng Shan, Lin Feng, let's go to the authorities to report this immediately!"
"It's the village chief!"
Upon hearing that Yan Nanfei was going to the government office, some people became restless. They would rather offend the village chief than have their descendants lose the right to take the imperial examinations for generations to come!
