Chapter 121 Buying a Cow at the Market
Xue Ruanruan wanted to bring her grandmother and mother into the space for two main reasons: first, she wanted them to understand the true source of the grains, fruits, and vegetables; second, it was about her plan to cooperate with the Regent in business. She knew that if she didn't explain everything clearly to her family, it would likely cause much doubt and misunderstanding. Therefore, she decided to use this method to dispel their confusion and gain their support and understanding. This would allow for smoother progress in all matters, both within the family and in external interactions. It would also avoid potential risks and conflicts caused by information asymmetry. After all, family harmony and unity are the most important foundation; only on this basis can greater development and success be achieved.
Grandmother's words of advice were absolutely right, and Ruan Ruan kept them in mind, vowing never to tell anyone about this matter again. However, there is one person who needs to know about the existence of this space; this person is crucial, and without his help, Ruan Ruan fears she will not be able to succeed… (Here, you can elaborate on why this person needs to know).
"This...this must be where the immortals live!" Princess Lingjun reacted faster than the old lady. Her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, her face filled with disbelief as she stared into the distance, her heart pounding with excitement. Even someone of her noble status—a princess of a nation—had never witnessed such a wondrous sight!
This place is simply a paradise on earth, breathtakingly beautiful, captivating and irresistible. Surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, it's like a dream, as if one has entered a mysterious and fantastical world. Princess Lingjun was awestruck by the beauty before her, secretly marveling at the wonders of nature that could create such a magnificent landscape.
The vast rice paddies, the boundless wheat fields, the bountiful orchards, and the lush medicinal herb fields intertwine, creating a breathtakingly beautiful panorama that surpasses all the landscapes she has ever witnessed. The soil here seems to possess a magical power, completely different from the outside world. Even the most experienced and hardworking tenant farmers, who meticulously tend their land elsewhere, find their crops sparse and scattered, their harvests far less than half of what they achieve here.
She deftly reached out and plucked a cherry. The cherry shimmered alluringly in the sunlight, like a dazzling gem. She carefully placed it in her mouth, took a gentle bite, and instantly, a rich sweetness exploded in her mouth. Juice flowed down her throat like a clear spring, nourishing her long-parched heart.
She was captivated by the wonderful taste, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the pear tree not far away. The tree was laden with golden fruit, hanging heavily from the branches like tiny lanterns, a delightful sight. A gentle breeze rustled the tree, making it sway softly, as if beckoning her to taste its sweet fruit.
She got up and walked towards the fruit tree, picked a bright red apple from a low-hanging branch, took a bite, and the sweet juice burst in her mouth, giving her an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if all her troubles had vanished in that moment.
General Xue Yan, the Grand General Who Protects the Nation, is one of the most outstanding generals of this dynasty. Born into a family of generals, he learned martial arts from a young age. Gifted with exceptional talent and inheriting family skills, he was highly skilled in martial arts, especially in archery and swordsmanship. After reaching adulthood, he joined the army, experiencing countless battles large and small, achieving numerous military exploits and becoming renowned far and wide.
Xue Yan was not only brave and skilled in battle, but also possessed extraordinary wisdom and leadership. He was adept at understanding the battlefield, seizing opportunities, and commanding with unwavering resolve, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. His army was disciplined, highly motivated, and extremely powerful, becoming a formidable force for the court. However, this invincible general on the battlefield had a hidden weakness—his younger sister, Xue Ruanruan. Xue Ruanruan was frail and sickly from childhood, and Xue Yan doted on her, their sibling bond deep. When he learned that his sister possessed a mysterious space and planned to cooperate with the Regent in business, he was filled with apprehension. He knew that the business world was like a battlefield, its intrigues and schemes no less intense than the struggles on the battlefield. He decided to personally meet the Regent to assess his character and abilities, ensuring his sister's safety and interests. Therefore, Xue Yan secretly investigated the Regent's background and past experiences. After a thorough investigation, he discovered that the Regent was no ordinary person, possessing exceptional intelligence and business acumen, and enjoying a high reputation in the business world. Moreover, the Regent was an upright and honest man, always fair and just in his treatment of partners. This earned Xue Yan's respect. Ultimately, Xue Yan decided to trust his sister's judgment and support her cooperation with the Regent. He believed that with their joint efforts, they would surely succeed and bring greater benefits to the country and its people.
Besides his military talent, Xue Yan also possessed noble character and unwavering loyalty. He was utterly devoted to his country, placing its interests above all else. He was incorruptible and selfless, indifferent to fame and fortune, and single-mindedly dedicated to protecting his homeland. He cared for his soldiers, sharing their joys and sorrows, and won their love and support.
In the imperial court, Xue Yan enjoyed the emperor's trust and high regard. He was repeatedly entrusted with important tasks, suppressing rebellions, repelling foreign invasions, and safeguarding national security. His achievements were recognized and praised by the court, earning him the title of "Pillar of the Nation." However, he did not become arrogant or complacent, but continued to strive to make even greater contributions to the country and its people.
The Xue family was a family of loyal martyrs, a lineage of heroes, whose legacy of loyalty and righteousness was passed down through generations. They were devoted to their country and people for generations, sacrificing their lives to defend the nation and maintain social order. The men of the Xue family were brave and fearless, fighting on the battlefield and defending the dignity of their motherland with their blood and lives; the women were equally courageous and strong, supporting their husbands, educating their children, and carrying on the family's spirit of loyalty and righteousness. The story of the Xue family is filled with tragic and moving events, showcasing the traditional Chinese virtues of loyalty and righteousness.
Murong Xun walked slowly into the Regent's Palace with heavy steps, his eyes revealing a hint of weariness and helplessness. The servants inside bowed upon his return, but Murong Xun did not respond, heading straight for his study. Once inside, Murong Xun sat at his desk, staring blankly ahead, his thoughts drifting far away.
Xue Ruanruan felt a blur before her eyes and found herself inside the space. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, an indescribable excitement and exhilaration welled up within her. Everything here seemed so tranquil and mysterious, as if time had stood still. She took a deep breath, sensing the spiritual energy permeating the air, allowing her emotions to gradually calm down. Then, she began to examine the space.
Xue Ruanruan walked to the spirit spring, gazing at the crystal-clear water, and wondered, "I wonder if this spring water has any other effects." She knelt down, scooped up some water, and drank it. Instantly, a cool sensation spread throughout her body, and she felt invigorated. She decided to collect some more spring water to take out and study. Xue Ruanruan found several bottles and filled them with the spring water. Next, she went to the fields and picked some ripe fruits and vegetables, intending to take them out for her family to try. After doing this, Xue Ruanruan left the space. Looking at the bottles and produce in her hands, she was filled with anticipation. She hoped that the spring water and food would bring some benefits to her family, and she also hoped that she could make better use of this space to create more happiness for her family and friends.
Next, she came to the field and saw the various rare medicinal herbs growing there. An idea struck her: "If I could take these herbs out and sell them, I would definitely make a lot of money." She carefully dug out some herbs, preparing to take them out and try.

With his army leaderless and its fighting strength greatly diminished, the war seemed destined to end in defeat. However, at this critical moment, a mysterious figure appeared…
With frequent border wars, Xue's army sheltered the people from the wind and rain.
