Chapter 780: Chapter 6: Child of Fortune! My Direct Lineage Great-Grandson (Seeking Monthly Votes)_6

The sandstorms here are just too fierce. Even if you clean yourself up temporarily, in less than a cup of tea’s time, you’ll get covered in sand again. Using Profound Qi to block the sandstorm isn’t economical, and wearing a cloak is cumbersome... After a while, he gradually became too lazy to bother.

Covered in sand, so be it~ Anyway, you just shake it off before leaving and you’ll be clean.

"My dear, I know you’re worried about me. It’s my fault, I’ll think of a way." He sidled up to Princess Consort Gongsun Qingrui, speaking softly, "Let’s go home first. I’ll have the kitchen make you some snow pear bird’s nest soup."

"Go home? I still have important business." Gongsun Qingrui’s pretty eyes widened, and she gave him an exasperated look.

"Huh?"

Gongsun Qingrui looked at him with a half-smile: "What? You didn’t think I came here just to catch you, did you?"

Prince Anjun Wu Mingyuan was a bit confused: "Isn’t that it?"

Gongsun Qingrui playfully rolled her eyes again: "Would I really come here just to catch you? I’m here for serious business this time."

Saying this, she took something out from her storage ring and handed it to Wu Mingyuan.

"Take a look at this."

"Hmm?"

Wu Mingyuan looked at it and found it was a slender metal tube with a hole at regular intervals.

He thought for a moment, unsure: "Is this... for watering?"

"I knew you’d figure it out." Gongsun Qingrui glanced at him proudly, "This thing came from over in Longzuo County. I saw the Huangfu Family using it for watering pasture, and it works quite well. Didn’t you have trouble with watering not long ago? I asked them for a few pieces to show you."

Planting the shelterbelt, irrigation is a big problem.

The structure of the pipe is simple, but that’s precisely because it is simple that it can be mass-produced, and it might really solve his big issue.

Wu Mingyuan, in high spirits, directly hugged his wife: "I knew it, my dear, though you don’t say it, you support me in your heart."

"Stop being so mushy." Gongsun Qingrui’s face reddened and she hurriedly pushed him away, "Have them test it. If it works, I’ll get my uncle to go to Longzuo County and buy the formula from that Changning Wang Family."

"Wait, Changning Wang Family?" Wu Mingyuan was stunned, "Are you sure the formula is from the Changning Wang Family?"

"How can it not be certain?" Gongsun Qingrui gave him another look, "I specifically asked. It came up in conversation when that Celestial Pride sister from the Huangfu Family was dining with the Patriarch of the Changning Wang Family, and he casually drew it for her. Later, the Changning Wang Family optimized the formula, and that’s how it became what it is now."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingyuan started contemplating.

The name Changning Wang Family, he has heard many times from Tianyan.

He has long admired the Patriarch of the Changning Wang Family. However, what he heard before was all about that person’s deep thoughts, overall consideration, and so on, yet he didn’t know he had skills in this area as well.

Moreover, the Great Celestial Pride from the Wang Family is also doing well at the Longzuo Academy, receiving praise, with future potential not inferior to the Gongyang Strategy.

It seems it is indeed time to make contact with that Wang Family Patriarch. But he didn’t know, while he was battling the sandstorm, Tianyan had already mentioned him several times to no avail as Wang Shouzhe kept turning down the meetings, not wanting to see him...

Wu Mingyuan murmured: "My dear, since they can devise this, might they... have other means to solve my current problem?"

"Just talking is useless; then ask Tianyan to arrange a meeting with Wang Shouzhe. I’ve read his profile, and he seems like quite a good person." Gongsun Qingrui, for her husband’s Struggle of the Imperial Sons, was really putting her heart into it.

Wu Mingyuan nodded enthusiastically: "Alright, alright, I’ll listen to everything my dear says." After a pause, he looked around and said, "By the way, where is our Yiluo? I haven’t seen her in many days."

Wu Yiluo, the youngest daughter recently born to Wu Mingyuan and Gongsun Qingrui, is highly gifted and bears a striking resemblance to Ancestor Qingluo in her youth. In an act of nostalgia, His Majesty the Emperor personally bestowed the name "Wu Yiluo" to reminisce Ancestor Qingluo.

A Great Celestial Pride from the Purple Mansion Realm and a Celestial Pride in the late stage of the Celestial Human Realm, honestly, being able to give birth to offspring is not easy.

What’s more, the imperial bloodline is always excessively strong, resulting in a low birth rate for the offspring.

Thus, it is likely due to Gongsun Qingrui’s persistent efforts.

"My dear husband, I think you’ve been so busy you’ve gone dizzy." Gongsun Qingrui gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Wasn’t she invited to visit the great-great-granddaughter of the Wu Dianshan Family in Longzuo County? She heard the Qingluo Sea has been developed and wanted to visit where Ancestor Qingluo fell to reminisce."

"I see~" Wu Mingyuan was slightly disappointed, speaking with a listless tone, "I’m a bit tired, I’ll wash up and sleep early."

"Tired? Wash up and sleep?"

Gongsun Qingrui’s rage flew up: So she had finally managed to trick that eyesore little demon out to play, hoping to savor a moment of the world for two, yet he comes up with wash up and sleep?

"Wu Mingyuan!"

"My dear, why do your eyes look like you’re going to eat someone?"

"I’m going to eat you up."

"Ah~~~"

...

Meanwhile, in Longzuo County Town.

As the core main city of the entire Longzuo County, it has always been the center of economy, culture, and politics.

The Spiritual Bird Flying Chariot system of the Shouda Trading Company has, after years of development, entered a relatively mature stage, gradually expanding its business to the Southern Desert County, Liaoyuan County, Qeng’an County, and other places.

The only minor regret is that it can’t enter other counties and the capital city.

Moreover, the prominent families in various counties and the capital have begun to imitate the business model of the Shouda Trading Company, stirring up growth in their respective domains.

This is something unavoidable.

Combined with the influence of the Wang and Qiaan Families, their reach, when viewed across the entire Daqian, is indeed limited.

However, this is already enough for the Wang and Qiaan Families, as just the existing market has made both families prosper and enter a fast lane for development and growth.

Nowadays, for the wealthy in the county town, traveling by flying chariot for leisure and relaxation has become one of the common lifestyle choices.

Especially in the newly established Guardian City [Qingluo Guard], which recently launched several island leisure tourism projects, integrating food, entertainment, adventure, leisure projects, etc., resulting in high attention and popularity.

Some who experienced it brought back exceptional reviews, making the Qingluo Guard tourism project increasingly prosperous.

Even though Shouda Trading Company has increased flights, flying chariot tickets to Qingluo Guard are still hard to come by!

But for some people, it’s hard to come by.

Yet for the naturally noble Wang Anye, it’s not a problem. Staying a little while in Longzuo County Town, he enjoyed immense affection from the Qiaan Family, returning with a wealth of red envelopes and gifts.

How abundant were the presents?

It could be described in one sentence: Wang Anye began to dislike his storage ring—"Endless Abyss," finding it too small!

"Seventh Young Master, this way please." The Chief Steward of the Shouda Trading Company’s county office, with guards accompanying them, personally led the way and arranged for an exclusive flying chariot for the Seventh Young Master.

As if joking, how can the mighty Seventh Young Master travel squeezed in the same flying chariot as others?

Just as Wang Anye was following along, expressionless and unperturbed.

Suddenly.

A commotion from behind could be heard: "Hey, hey, you little beggar, without a ticket, don’t rush in.""Stop right there, stay where you are."

Then, Wang Anye saw a dusty, scrawny little beggar, in the midst of being pursued, suddenly bump straight into his arms.

When the two tumbled down together, locked in an embrace, the [scrawny little beggar]’s eyes, pure as stars, were filled with shock and disbelief—it was strange, with her skills, she should have easily dodged, so how did she just bump into him like that?

Hmm!?

She was even being hugged! Her starry eyes widened, as if struck by lightning.
