''Miss, why do you want to plant simple trees on dryest but at the same time coldest part of the country? In winter the trees might be harmed by strong winds and frozen to death, in summer there could be big fires and on end, you just want to sell it for few coins. No matter how I look at it, it seems kind of... strange.'' He shook his head while he was trying to understand.
''To raise the price, of course. I do plan to make part of the land into the field as I want to try to see will the golden seed successfully grows here. But actually, these plains are perfect for a big playground for nobles.'' I can build summer residencies only for nobles. I realized that many people like to ride horses and have competitions. There are no wars. What about we make some fun competitions with a lot of good prices. At the same time, we can rent spaces for those that want to offer their goods, like the market in the city. Then places where they can compete in shooting with bow and arrow, fistfight competition, sword competition. Whole summer this place might be filled with all kinds of fun things.'' She smiled while she explained.
''But why forest?'' He scratched his head but liked her idea more and more.
''I would make a beautiful forest for their families to walk. For children, I planned to invite puppeteers or funny games. This will start small and can grow to big things. Like that I can completely use the space hey gave me and when this blows up big in few years I could get a bunch of gold only for land and live form it calmly for the rest of my life. Isn't it a good idea?''
He nodded but had a difficult expression. ''But isn't it better to keep then all and continually have lots of money?''
Shu Ya shook her head. ''Too many greedy people will suddenly appear. It's too bothersome. I'd rather sell for big money and have fewer worries than having continuously worry that something might happen to me. Think about it. I have no family. I bet to you early or later the Bai family will try to revoke their decision only to get it under the nail and my uncle would have to do that under their pressure. If I sell on time and move away, they can only grit their teeth and bang their heads.''
he was completely baffled by her idea. But he as well understood why she wanted to do that. ''I had a similar idea. You could build houses with big gardens and just rent them''
Shu Ya shook her head. ''Too far from town. No one would be interested to live this far from town, no matter how pretty the houses are. But in base its a good idea. If we earn enough money, we can travel to another county and find land near town and od as you said. Build houses and rent them. But not here. Bolin, I can see you like the idea. If you want you can check the land in surrounding tomorrow with Shin Young and look where what would be good to do. I have so much land, so I am sure you might get a few ideas as well.''
Bolin nodded but then remembered something so he shook his head. ''But you said there are more of those orange things coming tomorrow. I think we can do that some other day...''
Louli rolled her eyes. ''Miss just told you to go for stroll and check the lands. She already asked Mingli to find many temporary workers to help out with the rest of the carrots. You, two big men, are scary so she wants you to go around and see if there is something unusual happening.''
Shu Ya rose her eyes in wonder. ''How did you know I had that in mind?''
Louli just shrugged. ''I could hear a slight difference in your voice when you spoke. Miss, I told you before my reasons why I wanted to leave. But now that I plan to stay with you forever I pay more attention to you. Like that it will be easier for you to handle many things without being too bothered.''
Shu Ya nodded. ''Then continue a good job. I might really find you good marriage between young men in town. Or is one of the five on the farm interesting?'' She winked at her making her completely flustered.
Louli's face suddenly turned red and she puffed her cheeks. ''Miss, I am still too young. And I don't wanna.'' She bowed with a put and took the water out of the room while she could hear Shu Ya chuckling behind her.
The moment the door closed Shu Ya changed her expression. ''Bolin, what is actually the reason you came?''
He listened to steps and then came closer. ''Mingli told me to come to you. It seems some from the Bai family was stirring trouble in the city. I fear many bad things might happen to your elders.''
Her eyes became cold. ''Louli is partially right. I actually want you two to go to the city and see what is going on. If there is a problem with grandparents... I fear they will be kicked out on the street soon. Too many greedy flies around them. And no matter how hard my uncle is, he still is too weak to handle the pressure. I still feel Bai Fu would be better head then uncle Bai Qing. Go and see for now. If those elders are on- the street, snatch them and bring them here. I can feed enough mouths.''
He went again to his spot when Louli and Rouxi came in with bedding and put near the door.
Shu Ya and Boulin looked at them in wonder. ''Ugh, what are you two girls doing? What is this supposed to be?''
