Gu Nian would be an idiot if she didn’t try to make more money, especially from a rich man. Of course, she had to grab the opportunity!

However, she still tried her best to pack more peaches for the guard.

“Mister, I’ll give you this basket as well. It’ll be hard for you to carry all the peaches.” The basket was woven by Lin Sanshui. The guard had paid her silvers, so it was reasonable to give him a basket.

The guard picked up the basket and returned.

In the carriage, Nan Jinyu, who had been watching them, could not help but smile when she saw Gu Nian’s happy smile when she sold the peaches.

However, in just a moment, Nan Jinyu noticed the change in his mood. Nan Jinyu quickly put down the curtain and no longer paid attention to the outside world. His face returned to being as cold as ice.

“Your Highness, I’ve bought the peaches.” The guard stood by the carriage, waiting for instructions.

After a while, a nonchalant voice came from inside. “Let’s go.”

When Gu Nian returned to Lin Sanshui’s side, she found that Lin Sanshui had sold the basket and was packing up.

“Father, look at this!” As Gu Nian stood in front of Lin Sanshui, she was afraid of being seen by the people around her. Gu Nian turned her body slightly to cover herself before taking out the silver in her hand.

Lin Sanshui was instantly stunned. He quickly held Gu Nian’s hands together and asked her in a panic, “My dear, where did you get this?”

Gu Nian lowered her voice as she smiled. “A well-dressed big brother came to buy peaches just now.”

“Ten taels of silver. Why are these peaches so valuable?” Lin Sanshui looked down at the three peaches left on the ground and felt for the few copper coins in his pocket. Gu Nian had taken almost the same number of peaches, but the selling price was a world of difference.

At that moment, Lin Sanshui genuinely believed that the girl’s luck was heaven-defying.

“Quickly put away the money. You can’t take it out. There are so many people on the street. It’ll be a waste if it’s stolen.”

It turned out that it was ten taels of silver!

With a flip of her hand, Gu Nian placed the silver in Lin San Shui’s hand. “You should eat it. Let’s go buy some meat, okay?”

“Alright, I’ll save it for you. I’ll keep it as your dowry when you grow up.” Lin Sanshui was so excited that his hands were trembling. Today was the richest day he had ever lived.

“No need. I’ll make a lot of money in the future. Keep the silvers to supplement the family.” Gu Nian squatted down and looked at the things on the ground. There were only three peaches left.

“Father, why don’t you eat these peaches instead? You don’t have to bring them home even though it’s such a long journey. I’ll leave the other two for Big Brother and Second Brother.” Gu Nian handed one to Lin Sanshui.

Lin Sanshui glanced at it, “You can have it. I don’t want it.”

Before he could finish, Gu Nian stuffed the peach into his hand. “Father, eat it. I don’t want to eat peaches anymore. I want to eat meat.”

“Alright.” Lin Sanshui laughed and replied, “Let’s go. I’ll buy you some meat and bring your two brothers over.”

The meat seller was not far away from them. Lin Sanshui and Gu Nian stood in front of the meat stall. The owner of the meat stall said, “Today’s pork is fresh and cheap. There’s more fat than meat. Mister, which piece do you want?”

There were two plates of pork hanging on the rack with ribs. Gu Nian looked around and found that pork had more fatty meat than lean meat.

The pigs in ancient times were not like the fast-growing pigs in modern times. They were fed with pigweed and pig feed, so the meat must be very fragrant.

“Boss, how much is the pork?” As Gu Nian stared at the row of pork ribs, images of sweet and sour pork ribs and red-braised pork ribs appeared in her mind.
