The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2060: Chapter 2060: Prince Han Pays a Visit

After resting for a day, Shu Xing planned to venture into the mountains. Since Xinxin was so confident, it was best to check things out early, as minerals are quite precious now, especially iron mines.

However, King Han Qi Jinghao paid a visit.

Yang Ruxin wasn’t surprised at all. Since he came to Linjiang Prefecture, he must have a purpose, and there’s no need to guess—it’s definitely about them.

”Master Shu.” Qi Jinghao genuinely prevented everyone from kneeling, first helping Shu Xing up and then respectfully saluting the old man.

”Fifth Lord, you’re too kind.” Shu Xing hurriedly waved his hand, ”I’m just a civilian, how could I deserve such a grand gesture from you? It’s a burden for me.”

”Though Master Shu is not at court, he once served as Imperial Teacher, and my father often recalls your teachings. Sadly, we lack the fortune to receive your guidance.”

Shu Xing humbly shook his head, ”I’m old now, just hoping to enjoy familial bliss.” He paused, ”So, I’m quite satisfied with my current life.”

Qi Jinghao smiled and didn’t say much more, instead shifting the topic.

”I never would have thought that such a small mountain village could have such beautiful scenery.” Qi Jinghao clearly showed interest in the surroundings, ”Would it be an inconvenience if I stayed here for a few more days?”

Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng exchanged a glance. They planned to explore the iron mine in the mountains, so what was the meaning of him staying here?

”Haha.” Shu Xing laughed, ”If the Prince chooses to stay, it would indeed be a blessing for Qingheng and the others...”

”I’ve heard that the eighth prince has a dedicated room here. I wonder if I have such fortune?” Qi Jinghao’s gaze rested on Yang Ruxin’s face.

Yang Ruxin smiled, ”Eighth Lord and Fifth Lord are not the same. After all, no women would come over to cause misunderstandings with the Eighth Lord, correct? Otherwise, what reputation would I have left?”

”Indeed, if every time someone in town said that someone was here to meet my wife, how could we live on?” Gu Qingheng also chuckled coldly, ”So, Fifth Lord, please don’t trouble us.”

Qi Jinghao’s eyes gleamed for a moment, and as he looked at Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng, there was a hint of deeper meaning, as well as some apologies.

”Fifth Lord, here we are just small rural households, most afraid of causing trouble.” Yang Ruxin fearlessly returned his gaze.

”Yes... I was too reckless.” Qi Jinghao instantly returned to normal, smiled apologetically.

Due to Qi Jinghao’s arrival, their trip to the mountains was postponed. However, Shu Xing wasn’t in a hurry and spent his days playing chess with several old men and discussing history, and even eagerly went to the school to teach the children, instructing them on calligraphy. Truly a fulfilling time.

Of course, Shu Jingzhi and Shu Family weren’t idle either. They ran around town and the county, visiting Pancake Fruit Shops, general stores, hot pot restaurants, and other places to eat and inspect, and even went to Shiyan Village to visit the Divine Sauce processing workshop.

Their final conclusion was that Yang Ruxin’s businesses were profitable ventures.

It would be best to expand these ventures nationwide.

Yang Ruxin certainly agreed with this, but with the eighth prince in Beijing and her own people in Hangcheng, what Shu Family proposed would only extend to Tongcheng and throughout Shu Land.
