Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Tang Shunyan, the young master of the Tang Family, entered the restaurant with so many people, and the shopkeeper and staff, of course, recognized this young master. Even if they didn't recognize the young master, they recognized the guards with them.

It wasn't just one young master from the Tang Family who came to eat here. If they lacked such observation skills, they would also notice that the County Magistrate's Wife was also present—everyone dressed in luxury, all distinguished guests!

The shopkeeper and the staff treated them well and opened two private rooms for them. The men entered one private room divided into three tables. It wasn't just for the young gentlemen to dine— their attendants needed to eat as well.

It was the same for the private room for the women. The County Magistrate's Wife and the Ye Family's sisters, together they also filled up two or three tables.

Tang Shunyan did not take charge of everything himself; instead, he let the shopkeeper present the best menu and let everyone choose their own favorite dishes.

This method of entertaining guests was applied in both the men's private room and the women's private room on the other side.

In the men's private room, older gentlemen sat together.

Younger gentlemen sat with other young gentlemen; there might have been a generation gap, but they shared something in common: they would wander the streets without drinking in the afternoon.

The other table was for the many guards. They had gotten up a bit early; unlike their masters, they couldn't just stand if there were no seats available.

Being able to dine in the restaurant was already a great honor, and to taste the delicious food here was also a stroke of luck.

These days, everyone had grown picky about food because of the cuisine at Ye's Mansion; they were a bit worried that the restaurant's meals wouldn't match up to the standard there.

However, after the dishes arrived, their worries proved unnecessary. The ingredients used were also supplied by Ye's Mansion, and the chef's culinary skills were excellent.

Zhong Xingwang felt the only drawback was not being able to see his future bride while dining here.

He felt it was better for men and women of farming households to sit together at the table. Eating together felt different from now, dining with just the men.

Ye Shiqi, her elder sister, and their mother almost filled the table, and they were joined by the County Magistrate's Wife and her daughter.

The large table was filled to the brim, actually consisting of two tables joined together. Another table seated maids and old women, all brought by the County Magistrate's Wife and her daughter.

Facing Mrs. Li, the County Magistrate's Wife showed no disdain and was very polite, "Mrs. Ye, congratulations, to have secured such an excellent son-in-law!"

Ye Luoqi blushed upon hearing this. She had been blushing all day from being observed, feeling both shy and sweetly happy.

Zhong Xingwang was generous, and though he seemed like a prodigal son, a man spending money on a woman might be more than just showing off—it could be a synonym for affection!

Mrs. Li glanced at her blushing daughter and smiled, responding, "Madam's daughter is so outstanding, she will surely make an even better choice in the future!"

The County Magistrate's Wife nodded in agreement; receiving compliments about her own daughter naturally made a mother happy.

Her family was from the grassland, known for their straightforwardness, without any pretense or affectation.

The daughter enjoyed horse riding, cycling, and even more, learning martial arts and archery—these activities were quite common among the girls of their grassland. She herself was also skilled in these arts.

It was only after giving birth and raising children that her health declined, and she stopped engaging in those activities. There was no longer the opportunity for her to partake in such pursuits, to enjoy herself the same way her daughter did.

In recent years, living in this estate, her health had much improved. If it weren't for her clan calling her back, she would have loved to stay here longer, with delicious food and fresh air.

This was preferable to the grand cities, where one might live in luxury but miss out on an environment conducive to good health.

"She needs to change her ways, from now on she'll be a grown lady and can't play like she does now!"

Si Ma Roumei twisted her body playfully as her mother spoke and said in a coquettish tone, "Mom, let me play for just another half year. After that, I'll do whatever you say!"

"Oh, a mother can't control her grown child. You must take care of your own business and not lessen the etiquette you need to learn! Since you've come out today, you should come back!"

Si Ma Roumei shook her head and replied, "Mom, they're going to the Capital City to buy an estate. Shouldn't I go ahead and get ready too?"

The County Magistrate's Wife was taken aback by her daughter's words. They would definitely have arrangements made by someone from their clan when they returned.

But if living in such a place was unhappy, could they also buy their own estate outside and live there like them?

Of course, Si Ma Roumei had thought about this. She didn't want to move into someone else's house and have to look at their faces!

It was like living under someone else's roof, where many things might not be up to her to decide.

The County Magistrate's Wife had thought of this before. Over the years, they had brought wealth from their old home, and they hadn't spent much money in the county, nor had they bought a house.

They still didn't know where they would eventually go, but now that they were sure about the Capital City, they should prepare—both the estate and the shop.

"Roumei, there's no rush to buy an estate and a shop yet. We should first find some people to inquire and help choose a good location. It's not too late for us to look after that," she advised.

"Mom, I really want to go to the Capital City with them. It's been several years since I went to the Capital City with you, and I don't know what it's like now!" Si Ma Roumei said, eager to go to the Capital City with the Ye Family's sisters, who, like them, did not have a house yet.

"Silly child, some things aren't as simple as just going because you want to. We have to ask your father first. If we go to the Capital City without visiting relatives, and they find out, won't that give people reason to gossip?" her mother said disapprovingly.

The County Magistrate's Wife disagreed. Her daughter could come and go freely here, but it would be different in the Capital City. They couldn't let others see them entering the Capital City with some wealthy families.

It wasn't that these families were unfit to associate with; they might be from two different worlds. They could interact but not become too intimately involved.

Having her request denied by her mother, Si Ma Roumei had no choice but to drop the idea. It was proper to consult her father first.

Mrs. Li felt a little nervous upon hearing that the mother and daughter wanted to go to the Capital City with them. The Capital City was different—they could stay in an inn, but they couldn't appear in the Capital City together with them.

Ye Shiqi, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Their trip to the Capital City wasn't just to purchase an estate; they were also planning to buy a shop and sell grains from his space.

Having a shopkeeper who was a bit mysterious would be to their advantage and prevent them from becoming a target of interest to the wrong sort of people.

Ye Shiqi was nervous about keeping his secret safe. Up until now, only his family knew, since living in this small place hadn't attracted much attention.

But it would be different once they were in the Capital City, which could be full of all kinds of unsavory characters.

People with powerful backgrounds also lived there, and they were not the type of folks small-timers like them could afford to offend.

The worst thing would be to be unable to resist someone else's aggression and end up in big trouble!

Ye Shiqi had considered this and felt he should let others handle things on their own. He couldn't come forward personally and needed to find reliable people to manage the business.
