Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 256 Check-in at Xiaoyao Villa

We were so satisfied with our shopping that we filled two large carriages with food and supplies.

Luo Yu noticed that the prices in Tanzhou were not high. It seemed that the city's economy was monopolized by the Murong family, which was not a bad thing.

After visiting most of the bustling and bustling places, Master Murong asked Luo Yu for his opinion:

"Miss Bai, would you like to visit our Tanzhou library?"

"Library?"

"Yes, I told my grandmother about the concept of Miss Bai's library. She really appreciated the free borrowing system and asked the housekeeper to open one. However, it hasn't grown to a large scale yet. If Miss Bai is willing, we can cooperate with the Fang Group."

When Luo Yu heard this, his eyes lit up.

"really?"

"Of course I'm serious. How about you come with me to meet my grandmother?"

Qin Bingrui coughed lightly and said seriously, "That's not a good idea. We can just authorize you to distribute the technology and some books, and then you can take the dividends in proportion. As for the old lady, I think it's better not to see her for the time being."

I secretly thought: Who knows what the old lady will misunderstand? If she thinks Sister Luo is her granddaughter-in-law, it will be troublesome. We can't give up the whole forest for a tree...

Xia Liang smiled secretly. Although Master Murong is handsome and decent in all aspects, if you want to trick Sister Luo Yu into following you, just think of it as a dream!

Young Master Murong naturally knew that this group of people were overthinking it, but he actually hoped that his grandmother could meet Miss Bai, which would definitely prove that he had a unique vision.

The group went to the library.

Although it does not have the grandeur of Jiangzhou City, it is of considerable size, and there are quite a few scholars coming and going.

Young Master Murong invited them into the library's reception room and said with a smile, "This library has almost all the books that could be found in this dynasty, except for the books you published, Miss Bai. If you are willing to authorize us, the Murong family, to publish them, please sign the contract immediately."

Luo Yu recalled how he had tricked him into signing the agreement and smiled awkwardly: "No problem, after all, most of the stories were written by you, Master Murong. Many people have commented that the earlier stories in "Biography of Wenbo" seem more exciting. I think it's the writing style that's to blame."

If possible, it is not impossible for Master Murong to continue writing for her.

After they had lunch, they were escorted to Xiaoyao Villa by people sent by Master Murong. Fang, the children, and the "Flying Tigers" were also taken to the entrance of the villa.

Everyone looked at each other.

Gu Zichen could never have imagined that he had tried so hard to become a disciple of Xiaoyao Villa but failed, and now he just followed the Bai girls' carriage and entered the villa.

"Master Qin, what are we doing in this villa? You haven't really reached a cooperation agreement with the owner?"

Qin Bingrui nodded and said, "I guess so. Then you can send two smart and clever ones to learn the skills from Miss Bai. After they have learned the skills, they can lead the villagers of Taohua Village to cooperate with the Murong family."

"Well, then I can do it by myself, and I'll call two more people later."

After Gu Zichen finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, I didn't expect that I could still enter Xiaoyao Villa in my lifetime. It's really not easy!"

After hearing this, Luo Yu chuckled and said, "Gu Lizheng, from now on, you will be the general agent of Taohua Village. This business in cooperation with the Murong family is handed over to you. You must lead the villagers on the road to prosperity. The road ahead is long and arduous!"

"Miss Bai, why are you so generous to teach us these?"

"Well, because these skills have to be carried forward by someone. When you become proficient, you can pass them down to your ancestors. This skill will not only allow you to support your families, but more importantly, it can promote social progress and development."

"Miss Bai, you're thinking too far ahead!"

"Gu Lizheng, I'm actually the same as you. You're thinking about the villagers, and I'm thinking about the development of this craft. Isn't it great when our ideas combine?"

Gu Zichen scratched his head, it seemed to be what he meant.

Qin Bingrui drove the carriage and asked Li Feng, the servant leading the way in front.

"Young man, why didn't your Master Murong come? And why is it so far after entering the gate? Isn't this manor too big?"

Li Feng tried his best to maintain his composure: "My young master has something to tell the old lady, and he asked me to make arrangements for you first. Our Xiaoyao Manor has 300 acres of planted area in the back hills alone, and nearly 200 acres of land for pavilions, towers, and gardens, so there's enough space for you all to live in."

"I go……"

"Mr. Qin, what are you going to do?"

"I mean, can I ride around on horseback in private?"

"Many places are guarded by guards, and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter. However, Master Murong has instructed that he will give tokens to you and Miss Bai, so you can come and go as you please."

"This Mr. Murong is really good. Could he be the owner of the manor?" Qin Bingrui muttered casually and laughed. "If that's the case, then my sister wouldn't be at a disadvantage by marrying him."

Li Feng: Girl, you have a very rich imagination.

Gu Zichen was shocked: "No way? You said Miss Bai is the owner's fiancée? I was wondering how Miss Bai could be so skilled, she really doesn't come from an ordinary family."

Xia Liang's face twitched with laughter. Is this how so-called rumors come about?

Yan Xuan, following beside the carriage, echoed, "Young Master Murong and Miss Bai had already secretly gotten married in the small town of Lezhu County."

Li Feng: No way! Are you telling the truth? No wonder the young master was willing to compromise and write a storybook. So it was really for this white girl?

"May I ask which family Miss Bai is from? I can talk to the old lady about it."

Qin Bingrui spoke quickly: "They used to be a merchant family, but now they should be considered craftsmen, right? According to class standards, I wonder if they can be considered commoners? Has the Bai family ever produced aristocrats? Otherwise, they are common people, but it seems that they don't have any land."

Xia Liang said weakly, "Then according to social class, am I not a tenant? And isn't Miss Qin a pariah?"

Yan Xuan: I’ll pretend I don’t know.

Li Feng: Are you afraid that others don’t know that you have a special identity?

Qin Bingrui was not very happy and murmured: "I have been redeemed, how can I be considered a pariah? After all, I am also a commoner, on the same level as Zhuge Kongming.

By the way, little brother, as long as your Master Murong is not a traitor, we will not despise him no matter what his identity is."

Li Feng: This is truly an educational day. No wonder Master Murong told me to keep a calm mind.

After the carriage had been traveling for a quarter of an hour, everyone finally saw the magnificent building located halfway up the mountain. If the owner of the manor stood in front, how imposing it would be!

Qin Bingrui couldn't help but sigh: "How wonderful it would be if one day I could lead an army of thousands!"

Luo Yu smiled and encouraged him: "That day will come."

Seeing such courage, Lao Jin was greatly encouraged and said passionately, "I believe that the hero Qin will lead us to glory one day."

Wei Wu followed suit and shouted slogans: "I also believe that this day will eventually come!"

The others, who could not afford to fall behind, all shouted, "Towards glory! Towards glory!"

Luo Yu and Xia Liang could only lower their heads and remain silent.

Qin Bingrui waved his hand solemnly to calm everyone down, and then said, "Follow me, and sooner or later we will be invincible!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

As long as there's food to eat, I can beat anyone...
