Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 92 Preparing to Build a Greenhouse (4)

Feng Xuxu touched the jade pendant on her neck, furrowed her brows, and tried to take it off, only to be stopped by Xiao Chen’s hand. "What’s wrong? Do you dislike it?"

"Xiao Chen, listen to me. You are now of marrying age, and I am still a thirteen-year-old girl. Before I knew you, I wouldn’t care whether or not you had other women, but after meeting me, if you get involved with another woman, I will not give myself to you, not even after we are married. If you are determined about me, then you must be for life, even if we end up without children in the future. Can you do that? Don’t be in a hurry to answer me, think it over carefully and then come back."

As she prepared to take off the token from her neck again, Xiao Chen covered her hand, speaking with utmost seriousness, "Feng Xuxu, I can assure you that I had no women before I met you, and after meeting you, I certainly won’t go after those insipid and vulgar women. Having you in my life is enough. If I break this oath, may I be pierced by chaotic arrows..."

Before Xiao Chen could finish, Feng Xuxu stepped forward and covered his mouth. "I believe you." What’s the harm in taking a risk? If I don’t dare to pursue it, how can I know what the future holds?

After the rain cleared up, as for what happened last night, the people in the Lotus Garden unanimously made no mention of it, as though it had never occurred.

"Miss, Shopkeeper Ma is in the front hall," Yingsu reported listlessly with a bow. Since learning that she had given away her mistress’ message, Miss had been ignoring her and Baihe for a whole day. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Feng Xuxu glanced at Yingsu, not glamorous but attractive, skilled in martial arts; that was why she had given Yingsu her name. "Hmm, come with me."

Yingsu instantly perked up, quickly following her mistress for fear that the mistress would run off.

"Uncle Ma, it rained last night; the roads are all muddy. Why would you rush over at a time like this?" Feng Xuxu asked, puzzled, as she sat opposite Uncle Ma.

"It’s all right, I came by carriage." He paused. "The wine I picked up from you last time sold like hotcakes, and it did well in the other towns too. Based on preliminary estimates, I’d like to place an order for ten thousand jin a month. I’m concerned whether you can brew that much."

Feng Xuxu looked at Shopkeeper Ma with a smile. "That’s good news! Why do you look so worried, Uncle Ma?"

"You silly girl, it’s because I’m worried about you. You have fruit to brew wine now, but what will you do in winter?" he said, glaring at the clueless girl.

After listening, Feng Xuxu’s smile revealed her small dimple. "Uncle Ma, don’t worry. I’ll store a batch of fruit in the cave in advance. I can brew wine every day, and I won’t run out of stock for you."

He shook his head, speechless.

"Alright, I should get going. And I’ll take some pickled green beans with me." He looked outside; it was not getting any earlier, and he had many things to take care of at home.

"Uncle Ma, wait, this is medicinal wine that I’ve brewed. It contains precious herbs, something you can’t buy elsewhere." Feng Xuxu had someone carry out a jar of wine from her Lotus Garden and gently handed it to Uncle Ma.

"Medicinal wine? You can brew that?" Shopkeeper Ma excitedly held the jar in his hands. This was the medicinal wine that those old men from the Imperial Medical Bureau always talked about.

"Yes, if suited, it can even cure diseases." She blinked her big eyes. Was there really a need to be so excited?

"Girl, even those old men can’t produce this medicinal wine. How can I not be excited?" Shopkeeper Ma gave Feng Xuxu a sideways glance before returning his attention to the jar in his hands.

Feng Xuxu pursed her lips. "Uncle Ma, just drink it. What I gave you is for strengthening the body. Just one cup at a time will do; more is not beneficial."

"Alright, girl, I’m off now." Shopkeeper Ma waved his hand and carefully carried the jar of wine away.
