After lunch, Xiao Yeyang hurried away with Defu.

“I wonder what happened that they rushed to call Yeyang back like that.” Grandma Gu was somewhat uneasy.

Daohua smiled and said, “Grandma, it probably wasn’t anything serious. I saw that Xiao Yeyang was quite relaxed when he left.”

Hearing this, Grandma Gu nodded, then smiled at Daohua and said, “You girl seem to understand Yeyang quite well.”

Daohua’s eyes curved into a smile, “That’s right, after all, I’ve known him for so many years. I might not understand everything about that guy, but I can roughly figure him out eight or nine times out of ten.”

Old Lady Yan said grumpily, “You become out of breath just by saying you’re fat!”

Daohua muttered, “But that’s the truth.” Seeing her own grandmother staring at her, she quickly laughed and changed the subject, “Grandmother, Grandma, Master, you’ve all been sitting for most of the morning, you must be tired. Go take a nap.”

Gu Jian nodded, “As one gets older, the body just doesn’t keep up. Sitting for half the day makes my waist sore.”

Subsequently, all three elderly people went to their respective rooms to rest.

After they lay down, Daohua took Wang Manman down the mountain to the estate.

Upon seeing Daohua, Qin Xiaoliu hastily dropped what he was doing and followed her, “Miss, I’ve got some leads on the estates you told me to look into.”

“The land in Ningmen Prefecture is cheap and many places are sparsely populated. The estates I’ve looked at are all quite big, the smallest being two to three thousand acres, and the largest has tens of thousands.”

Daohua pondered for a moment, “How’s the quality of the soil and the irrigation conditions?”

Qin Xiaoliu replied, “The estates I looked at are all next to rivers. The soil isn’t as good as in Xingzhou, but it’s still pretty decent.” Saying so, he took out some simple maps of several estates from his bosom.

Daohua took a look at them in her hands, then eventually looked at Qin Xiaoliu, “Brother Xiaoliu, we’ve bought estates a few times now, and I trust your judgment. I won’t personally inspect them this time.”

Qin Xiaoliu quickly said, “Miss, rest assured, I’ve thoroughly surveyed these estates, and they’re all a bit better than the others.”

Daohua nodded, finally selecting two estates, a ten-thousand-acre large farm estate and a mid-sized estate of over three thousand acres.

“We’ll call this ten-thousand-acre farm estate Wheat Estate. Get ready, and after the autumn harvest is over, sow the winter wheat.”

Qin Xiaoliu nodded.

Daohua continued, “This smaller estate will be called Vegetable Estate. Organize it, as next year I want to plant tomatoes there.”

Qin Xiaoliu was familiar with tomatoes. Nowadays, all the greenhouses in Taohua Village were filled with them, bright red and beautiful to look at, said to be a new vegetable variety brought over from overseas.

“Alright, you go get busy. I’ve nothing else here.”

Afterward, Daohua and Old Lady Yan stayed for two more days. On August 11, Madam Li sent someone to say that the Xiangyang Glass Store in the town would open on August 13, and Dong Yuanyao along with Su Shiyu were coming over. After saying goodbye to Grandma Gu and Gu Jian, they returned to their estate.

…

Upon returning to the town, the first thing Daohua did was to find a calligraphy and painting shop to mount the portrait Xiao Yeyang had painted for her. On the day Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu arrived, they saw the mounted portrait in her bedroom.

“My goodness, Yiyi, who’s the lady artist you found to paint this portrait for you? It’s so lifelike!”

Dong Yuanyao analyzed the portrait closely, and after looking for a while, she pulled on Daohua’s sleeve, “Quick, tell me, I want one for my room as well.”

Su Shiyu also looked over, curious.

Daohua laughed and said, “What lady artist? It was Xiao Yeyang who painted it. That guy’s painting skill is really not bad.”
