Chapter 471: Chapter 463 The Way to Conduct Oneself in the World_1

Despite having some thoughts, Qin Niu did not propose to buy the other party’s tea tree on the spot.

They had just met today, and the other party had served him with Refreshing Tea. To bring up buying their tea tree right then would not only seem greedy but also rude. These kinds of matters should not be rushed but approached gradually.

After finishing the tea, Qin Niu continued to chat with the other party for a while.

Not only did he not raise the rent, but Qin Niu actually took the initiative to reduce it by five percent. Shen Wanqing, who reaped such great benefits, was all smiles.

From their conversation and Shen Wanqing’s reactions, it seemed there would be a good chance of successfully buying that tea tree when the time was ripe.

…

Because there were as many as one hundred and twenty-one stores, they were busy until dark and still had not completed the handover.

Helpless, they had to stay in the city for the night and finish taking over the remaining stores the next day.

Qin Niu had already started thinking about hiring a steward.

With over six thousand mu of good farmland at home and many shops in the city, if he had to attend to it all personally, he was afraid he would work himself to death. In his view, assets and making money should only serve as aids to cultivation.

Spending a significant amount of time and energy on making money would be a loss-making endeavor, for sure.

In this world, cultivation and strength were always core.

Without mentioning anything else, what’s the use of earning so much money if one’s cultivation is not high?

After a hundred years, wouldn’t it all just turn into a handful of dust?

That evening, the family moved into their new house in the city, and both of his wives seemed very happy. They strolled around the backyard garden for a long time, forcing Qin Niu to buy lamp oil and light all of the outdoor oil lamps in the garden that night.

Xiao Qing didn’t seem to have much interest in the mansion. After having dinner, she busied herself sorting out the rooms and cleaning.

Her diligence and sensibleness were heart-touching.

In the quiet of the night, Qin Niu, hugging Wang Wanyan, slept in the warm comfort of their bedding. It must be said that the land of tenderness does indeed weaken a man’s resolve.

After their passions subsided, Wang Wanyan, with her cheeks flushed, snuggled up to him like a kitty.

“Wan Yan, I’m planning to buy a few more servants tomorrow. This time not only maids, but if there are suitable boys, I am thinking of buying a few as well. Our family can now be considered to have some estate and needs someone dedicated to manage it. We can’t have you personally taking care of everything. I’m thinking of finding two or three stewards, whose characters must be reliable and capabilities not too poor, although their age doesn’t really matter,” he said.

The couple had their pillow talk.

To prosper and strengthen a family, one must have a wise person to oversee the big picture.

Qin Niu was the backbone and the helmsman of this family.

“You decide on hiring people by yourself. I had thought that if our family only had a few hundred mu of land, hiring some farmers would do, and I could manage it all. But my husband, you have kept so much hidden, possessing this astonishing wealth and yet keeping it a secret from me and Cai Xian,” she said.

She had watched Qin Niu grow prosperous step by step, never imagining that her husband, who was about the same age as her, could possess such immense wealth in less than a year’s time.

As for Qin Niu’s cultivation changing every day, reaching the Innate Realm in such a short time, after seeing the charm of the Ancient Banyan Tree, she no longer found it surprising.

Because, after cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree, her own cultivation had a similar rapid progress.
