Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 1052 - 963: Official of the First Rank 24

This is also because practicing martial arts is best started from a young age; those who are older, their meridians have hardened and they can no longer practice inner strength. Murong Shuangshuang can only teach them external hard skills, while children, being more moldable, are taught deeper inner strength.

Now the children of Yu Family Village have grown up, each one of them can be considered martial arts masters, and the girl coming to report back to Murong Shuangshuang today is one of the best among them.

Murong Shuangshuang smiled and praised all those who completed their tasks. Seeing Murong Shuangshuang’s expression, everyone was extremely excited, with heads up and chests out, leaving in high spirits; earning the lady’s praise was their happiest moment.

After sending off those who came to report, Murong Shuangshuang washed her hands and went to the front yard to help her father, Murong Ting, dry medicinal herbs. Murong Ting’s medical skills have improved greatly, all thanks to Murong Shuangshuang. Since Murong Shuangshuang started studying medicine on her own, she began to guide her father Murong Ting in his medical practice.

Murong Ting really loves medicine, and with Murong Shuangshuang’s guidance, his skills have progressed rapidly. He even accepted a few kids who are smart but not good at martial arts as apprentices, planning to pass on the medical knowledge.

Passing through the archway, through the garden, reaching the front yard — three large rooms with blue bricks and gray tiles. In front is a neatly paved ground with blue bricks, equipped with racks of medicinal ingredients and various herb processing tools.

When Murong Shuangshuang came over, she unexpectedly didn’t see Murong Ting’s figure; only a young apprentice was drying herbs here. Upon inquiry, she learned that Murong Ting had taken a few older apprentices to the mountains for herbal collection.

Nowadays, the houses of Murong Shuangshuang’s family have all been renovated, and not just Murong Shuangshuang’s house — the entire Yu Family Village’s houses have been completely transformed.

The year they merged into Yu Family Village, Murong Shuangshuang ordered more houses to be built, replacing all the dilapidated houses in the village.

The villagers built houses in their training breaks while being busy farming. Although the speed of building was not fast, even with increased physical strength from martial arts training, it still took more than two years to complete all the villagers’ houses in Yu Family Village.

The newly built houses in Yu Family Village are orderly planned, and every household has a granary cellar. Murong Shuangshuang’s house is the most impressive — this was the villagers’ only time defying Murong Shuangshuang’s orders; they insisted on building Murong Shuangshuang’s house first despite her objections.

The villagers put particular care into building Murong Shuangshuang’s house, modeling it after wealthy city homes, with three layers inside and out, including a cross courtyard and complete amenities like a martial arts field and garden.

This house represents Murong Shuangshuang’s status in the villagers’ hearts, a respect deeply rooted from within. They trust and honor Murong Shuangshuang, genuinely wanting her to enjoy the best.

Murong Shuangshuang is now fourteen years old. However, due to martial arts training, she appears tall, and with girls maturing early, she now looks no different from an adult woman.

Combined with her mature demeanor and her already well-known reputation in the nearby counties, no one dares to underestimate her, whether in the village or outside.

In recent years, Murong Shuangshuang has completely transformed Yu Family Village into her desired foundation; everyone is loyal and grateful to her. The grain in the fields has increased due to fertilizer, and each household raises chickens, ducks, and pigs, ensuring they don’t lack meat.

Everyone practices martial arts, even some older villagers who didn’t need to due to the strong martial spirit in the village have started practicing. Though not comparable to young people, each can still equate to the strength of two or three strong workers.

Murong Shuangshuang herself earns even more money; the output from the breeding farm is astonishing, and Yu Family Village can’t consume it all, so they sell it to wealthy people in surrounding counties, earning a lot of silver coins.

However, the most profitable is Murong Shuangshuang’s carving. With her years of practice, her speed in carving jade figurines is increasing, and her craftsmanship has become unmatched, almost worthy of being described as ingenious.

The original County Magistrate can no longer handle Murong Shuangshuang’s jade carvings. With the current luxurious extravagance among noble families of the capital, they can sell for tens of thousands of silver.

Such precious objects seem too hot to handle for the County Magistrate, but fortunately, he is from an aristocratic family, a branch clan member of the Wang Family.

County Magistrate Wang is not greedy; since he can’t handle it himself, he bridged Murong Shuangshuang with the main branch of the Wang Family, allowing the family to do business with Murong Shuangshuang, who earns from the craftsmanship, while the Wang Family handles the sales.

The Wang Family indeed sent someone to do business with Murong Shuangshuang, and the person’s status was not low, it was the young clan leader Wang Jingqi from the Wang Family. Wang Jingqi is very good at negotiating business; he doesn’t excessively lower prices, nor does he suffer losses.

Murong Shuangshuang is indifferent to high or low prices; she is very fast at making jade figurines and doesn’t mind losing a bit on a piece, so they settled on the price where the Wang Family provides the jade material, and Murong Shuangshuang’s craftsmanship rates are five thousand silver for tabletop jade figurines, ten thousand silver for half-height ones, and fifteen thousand silver for full-height ones.

Murong Shuangshuang even considers that such wealth cannot last too long because once the world becomes completely chaotic and all aristocratic families participate in the scramble for the Central Plains, luxury items like jade figurines will have no market. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Although she earns a lot from jade carvings now, Murong Shuangshuang cannot just freely create and carve jade figurines to make money as too many would devalue them.

Today is the day Wang Jingqi comes to collect the jade figurines, so Murong Shuangshuang has been waiting at home for Wang Jingqi to arrive. Otherwise, at this time of day, Murong Shuangshuang would be guiding the villagers in martial arts training.

In the latest batch of seven- and eight-year-old children who just grew up, there are about ten good martial arts prospects. Murong Shuangshuang feels happy knowing with these leading children around, Yu Family Village’s martial arts legacy won’t fall behind.

When Wang Jingqi came, he brought about thirty secretly trained experts from the Wang Family. It wasn’t Wang Jingqi making a fuss; it’s just that the last time he came to discuss business with Murong Shuangshuang, to show sincerity, he only brought four or five experts into Yu Family Village, and those few were terrified.

They felt unyielding pressure throughout their stay because they found everyone in Yu Family Village was a martial arts master.
