Chapter 271 I can also be a bitch...
Ah Cai slowly withdrew her gaze from the distant screen and fixed her eyes on the dining table in front of her which was filled with all kinds of delicious food.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This old man is really interesting. He actually wants to synchronize with me.
At this time, Tong Jiawu, who was standing by, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile and said, "Oh, this is really unexpected! It turns out that Madam Sun came here early in the morning to inquire about our meal arrangements for today, and she actually wants to report to the Marquis' Mansion."
Ah Cai seemed quite indifferent to this. She shrugged and responded, "It's okay, actually. After all, they've come all the way here to send us such a lavish gift. It's only natural for us to try some of the same food."
Tong Jiawu nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, it's only natural for Dad to want to know what his daughter eats."
Then, Ah Cai pointed to the plate of juicy green cucumbers on the table and suggested thoughtfully, "These cucumbers are probably rare in Ning Dynasty. Why don't we give Madam Sun some seeds? That way, she can go back and report smoothly!"
Ah Cai nodded casually in agreement and added, "In that case, why not send some of the things Ning Chao doesn't have, especially things like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. Let them try to grow them themselves."
Tong Jiawu thought for a moment after hearing this and replied, "Hmm... That's great! Then I'll go and carefully count the quantities to see which varieties are missing here, and then send them over.
By the way, speaking of fruits and vegetables, the courtyards and gardens in our house have now been converted into warm greenhouses. Even in the coldest months of winter, we can still enjoy fresh and delicious green vegetables!
Ah Cai nodded her little head and looked around, "Where are Feiyue and Tuantuan? I didn't see them yesterday."
Tong Jiawu thought about it and shook her head, "Maybe he went somewhere to play?"
Ah Cai's eyes widened, "Treasure, secret place."
"They must have gone to lie down near the treasure chest. The air there is filled with the strong smell of money."
Ah Cai swung her small and delicate feet and muttered to herself.
You should know that this spirit beast bracelet was originally a cozy nest specially built for gold ingots, so it was carefully constructed into a magnificent world of gold, silver and treasures piled up like mountains.
Over time, the two little guys have been staying here for a long time, and naturally they have developed the habit of lying on this mountain of gold and silver...
Ah Cai blinked her bright big eyes, imagining with joy how great it would be if those two guys could also bring live broadcast equipment.
This way you can see with your own eyes just how grand and magnificent the amazing treasure is!
Tong Jiawu, who was standing by, was extremely impressed by the skilled craftsmen of the previous dynasty: "Look at this treasure trove they built. It's buried more than 20 meters deep underground!
Such a huge and complex maze, even if people on the ground put all their efforts and racked their brains, it would probably be difficult to unearth the mystery inside it! "
Ah Cai raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile as she said, "Hehe, after we've had enough of this good show, we'll release all this treasure. We absolutely won't let those so-called hero and heroine get away with it!
The Ning Dynasty is generally pretty good, the only complaint is the treasure hunt. It really messed up the mansion.
But since even Lord Lin himself doesn’t care about this, we might as well just watch the show from the sidelines…”
"Where's A Da? Why did everyone run out to join in the fun?" A Cai asked curiously.
Tong Jiawu shook her head and replied softly, "We're not just here to watch the fun. We donated quite a bit of money a while ago, but it still doesn't seem to be enough!"
Ah Cai blinked her big eyes and said, "What should we do? The treasure can't be used at the moment! So let's use our own gold mountain!"
Tong Jiawu smiled slightly and patiently explained, "Ada has arranged for these people to help us build the manor. The first thing to do is to build the roads...
There's a lot of work waiting for them! This is much better than just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor. After all, influenced by those scholars and writers, many people have the integrity to 'not accept charity'... Only a few people will accept our help."
After hearing this, Ah Cai couldn't help but scratch his head and said doubtfully, "They would rather go hungry, or even starve to death, than accept charity from others? Although integrity is important, they still have families and children to take care of!"
"It's a bit exaggerated. We'll see when we go to the teahouse. The intellectuals talk a lot, but there's nothing serious to say. They don't know how to conform to public opinion..."
Before Tong Jiawu finished speaking, Ah Cai jumped off the chair and prepared to go out and head towards the teahouse.
……
Ningguo Capital, Late Autumn
The fallen leaves on the ground fluttered in the wind, creating a bleak feeling, and people put on thick coats.
Ah Cai sat in the carriage, parted the curtains and looked around, seeing the bustling streets and the hustle and bustle of people.
There are many teahouses and bookstores.
Restaurants and shops are bustling with people
The carriage stopped at the parking area on the left side of the largest teahouse. Ah Cai followed Tong Jiawu out of the carriage and walked into the teahouse.
The teahouse is filled with the delicate aroma of tea, creating a relaxing and refreshing atmosphere. Antique calligraphy and paintings hang on the walls, adding a touch of cultural charm. Tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and some guests are already seated, leisurely sipping tea and chatting.
The waiters busily shuttled between the tables and chairs, serving tea and water to the customers. Their movements were skillful, and their faces were filled with warm smiles.
In a corner of the teahouse, a storyteller was telling a fascinating story. His resonant voice and expressive expressions captivated the attention of many guests. Everyone listened with rapt attention, occasionally bursting into laughter and applause.
In another corner of the teahouse, several people were discussing poetry, sometimes with their heads bowed in thought, sometimes writing furiously, and sometimes communicating with each other, demonstrating their profound cultural heritage.
Businessmen, literati, officials, common people...
Here they exchange information, negotiate business, relax and enjoy a leisurely time.
A Cai followed Tong Jiawu up to the second-floor box and she leaned over the railing to look down.
"No matter what your status, you can always quote a few lines of classical Chinese and chat about the current affairs of neighboring countries..."
Tong Jiawu looked at Ah Cai and asked her with a smile, "What if someone stops you? Master, are you also a bit of a showman?"
Ah Cai blinked. "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus..."
Tong Jiawu covered her mouth and laughed. She knew it was this, the periodic table that the young lady would recite every day in her dreams...
