The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1794: Chapter 1794: Very Considerate (3)

”If you think it’s doable, then it must be fine.” Qi Jingyi naturally wouldn’t refuse, ”Just instruct us on what to do.”

”Although ’Journey to the West’ has already been told, the character designs are quite unique. It’s a shame we didn’t think to make use of them earlier. However, showcasing them now, even if a bit late, could attract interest; at least some people who’ve heard of it might come to buy... For the next few months, the focus should be on things related to ’Dream of the Red Chamber,’ such as pretty fans and handkerchiefs embroidered with ’Funeral Flower Poem,’ or painted with the Daguan... We could also take the poems, the Twelve Beauties of Jinling or something, and make them into sets of bookmarks or round fans...”

Qi Jingyi slapped his thigh: ”You handle it, and I’ll do as you say...”

Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched, so after all that talk, she still had to do it herself? Alright, let’s do it, since there’s no pressing matter anyway. She nodded: ”I can do it, but let’s split it seventy-thirty. I take seventy...”

”That’s too greedy, isn’t it?”

”Then sixty-forty.”

”Yang Ruxin, one should be fair... at least split it fifty-fifty? I’m the one providing the silver, manpower, and venues...”

”Let’s settle on that then.” Yang Ruxin nodded and then swaggered off.

Qi Jingyi touched his nose, feeling like he’d been tricked.

Not long after Yang Ruxin returned to the General Residence, Du Yunpeng also came back with news.

The Cui Family now has four generations living together, with flourishing male descendants. Duke Cui Wei’s current generation consists of two blood brothers, but the elder brother died in battle alongside the old Duke. However, Cui Wei has three sons, all of whom are married now, each balanced with two sons.

Duke Cui has six grandsons; the oldest is ten, the youngest is just one year old—yet no girls.

Nonetheless, last year, the old madam from the Cui Family returned to her hometown for a visit and brought back a little girl when returning to the capital, raising her like a granddaughter. Initially, the Cui Family members objected to keeping her, as they didn’t know her background. But the old madam insisted, because the girl also bore the surname Cui, named Cui Fangfang.

The old madam felt it was fate, and besides, during the journey back to the capital, she fell ill and the little girl attended to her with utmost care, even more diligently than a servant, which the madam found endearing.

After all, the Cui Family could afford to support another person.

Over the past year, Cui Fangfang indeed displayed remarkable obedience and wisdom, leading the Cui Family to accept her.

”Cui Fangfang?” Yang Ruxin frowned, ”How old is she?”

”Seven.”

Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but lift her hand to touch her chin: ”Have Mingli and the others keep an eye on the Gu Family, as well as this Cui Family, especially this Cui Fangfang.”

”Madam suspects there’s something amiss with this Miss Cui?”

Yang Ruxin shook her head: ”I don’t know if there’s an issue, but somehow it doesn’t seem so simple.”

Du Yunpeng immediately nodded.

In the evening, Yang Ruxin recounted the day’s happenings to Gu Qingheng: ”The Princely Heir’s wife appears easy to get along with, but I didn’t approach closely.”

”Years ago, the four Dukes swore a heavy oath before the great ancestor, pledging loyalty to orthodoxy,” Gu Qingheng chuckled. ”That means they’ll support whoever is Emperor and assist whoever is Crown Prince... Therefore, although the four Dukes hold high positions and great influence, even the Crown Prince would not easily draw them in...”
