The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Su Qianqian moved the precious red coral ornament into her room, closed the door, and entered the space.

The white tiger, which had been leaping and chasing butterflies in the courtyard, immediately became as docile as a cat and lay prostrate at Su Qianqian's feet when it saw her.

Before Su Qianqian transmigrated, she had two cats, both of which were chubby and very cute. She often petted those two fat cats, and casually gave the big white tiger a couple of strokes.

It feels nice to the touch, probably because it has consumed a lot of spiritual spring water; its originally coarse fur has become glossy and smooth.

"If this snow-white, smooth fur were sold, it would definitely fetch a good price."

The white tiger seemed to understand and retreated several feet away in fright.

What a horrible owner! They actually want to skin it alive to sell it for money!

Su Qianqian observed carefully and found that the white tiger had become much fatter and bigger than when she last saw it.

No matter how docile a white tiger may be, like a cat, it is still the king of beasts and should not be underestimated.

Su Qianqian intends to train this guy. Gong Yuxin said that it is certain that the Prince of Huainan will rebel.

The white tiger is quite powerful, and hopefully it will also be able to contribute to protecting the people of Qinghe County.

Su Qianqian climbed onto the back of the white tiger and commanded, "Xiao Hua, carry me around once."

Xiao Hua is the name Su Qianqian gave to the big white tiger.

Although the white tiger disliked the vulgar name, it still obediently led its master on a long walk around the courtyard of the space.

"Xiaohua, fetch me a bucket of water."

Upon hearing the command, the white tiger immediately ran to the well and turned the wooden wheel, quickly bringing the eight-tenths full bucket to Su Qianqian.

"Good job, Xiaohua, you're so clever. Here's a piece of spiced beef jerky for you."

A piece of beef jerky the size of a date was tossed into the air, and the white tiger leaped gracefully and ate it in its mouth.

Wow! The beef jerky my owner made is delicious! My owner is awesome!

"Well done, Little Flower."

The little flower beamed with joy. Oh, its owner is praising it! How happy it is!

Su Qianqian threw the gourd ladle into the wooden bucket. "Xiaohua, help water the vegetables."

Little Flower moved with lightning speed, picking up the gourd ladle and starting to water the plants for its owner.

So happy! The owner thinks it's very capable, so they assigned it such an important task. All the plants in the space are the owner's treasures.

The owner must have thought the big brown bear was incredibly stupid, so he didn't assign it any tasks.

Su Qianqian decided to buy some more seeds to plant in her space, since she now had free labor.

Everything grown in this space is of the highest quality; the only downside is that the space doesn't have the ability to accelerate plant growth.

Dong Yong, an assistant secretary in the Ministry of Justice, remembered that Gou Dan was going to treat everyone to a meal, and he asked about it every day.

"Brother Li, when exactly will Gu's Teahouse open?"

Compared to Dong Yong's impatient expression, Gou Dan's expression was extremely calm. "Don't worry, it should be soon."

Gu's Teahouse opened amidst the anticipation of many.

On the first day of business, Madam Lu, the second wife of Shen, made a point of passing by the teahouse.

She noticed there were no customers inside and a smug look appeared on her face.

It serves them right that they have no business; they'll lose everything sooner or later.

Gu Ying, who manages the kitchen, is a little anxious. Shops in the capital are much more expensive than in Qinghe County, and the lack of business is making her very anxious.

My cousin paid for the shop and renovations entirely on her own, so we can't let her lose money.

"Ruoxuan, how about we bring that rare ancient book from my dowry to the teahouse for display?"

Vivian Hsu agreed wholeheartedly. "Second sister-in-law, when you showed off your dowry, that rare ancient book attracted countless eyes. Bringing it to the teahouse will definitely attract many customers as well. However, we must protect the rare book well. Such a valuable thing must not be damaged."

After bringing the rare ancient book, Xu Ruoxian placed it on the table and then surrounded it with a red line.

A sign prohibiting touching was also placed on the table.

This means that these ancient and unique books are only allowed to be viewed from a distance, and not touched.

Xu Ruofeng is currently busy as the manager, accountant, and purchasing agent, and is sitting behind the counter doing accounts.

Calculate how much the renovation materials cost before opening, how much the workers' wages were spent, and what items need to be purchased tomorrow.

In fact, Xu Ruofeng found a good location for the shop. Teahouses, being elegant places, mainly cater to scholars, so he chose a location near the Imperial Academy, just one street away.

Xu Ruoxian looked at her unmoved second brother, "Second brother, why aren't you in a hurry at all?"

Xu Ruofeng held a pen in his hand, thinking and writing down what needed to be purchased. "Don't worry, as long as we do as Boss Su says, business will be good."

At noon, when the Imperial Academy dismissed students, a group of scholars passed by the teahouse.

At this point, everyone was heading back for dinner, so naturally no one wanted to go to a teahouse.

However, the waiters at Gu's Tea House placed several boxes of sample snacks outside the main entrance, and the aroma attracted several scholars.

"Lemon chicken wings are perfect for exams, and braised duck feet are a must-try for anyone who doesn't eat them."

Who are you calling a fool! Some unconvinced scholars stepped forward to try it.

I tried it and found it really tasted delicious. Anyone who doesn't eat it is a fool.

More and more scholars gathered to watch the food tasting.

The waiter seized the opportunity to promote the teahouse, saying, "We have rare ancient books from 300 years ago in our teahouse. If you are interested, you can go in and take a look. Please remember, you must not touch them with your hands."

The scholars went crazy with gossip—

"Could it be fake? This teahouse actually has such a precious item?"

"It must be an exaggeration, right? Even powerful families might not be able to produce a rare copy from three hundred years ago." After all, when the Great Qi Dynasty was first established, it burned down the library of the previous dynasty, and many ancient books have disappeared.

One of the scholars said, "The teahouse entrance is right in front of us. Let's go in and see if it's real or not."

Xu Ruoxuan was delighted to see many scholars entering the teahouse lobby. "Brother, the tasting method that Master Su came up with is really good. It has boosted the business immediately."

Xu Ruofeng thought to himself: Every idea Su Dongjia comes up with is good.

When the scholars went inside, they found that the table where the rare ancient books were placed was surrounded by a red line, allowing them to look at the covers but not touch them.

It looks real, but since we can't see the contents, it's hard to guarantee it's not fake.

However, there was a very eye-catching painting in the teahouse.

The painting depicts orchids, orchids they have never seen before, painted with remarkable realism, as if the real flowers were growing on the paper.

One of the scholars exclaimed in surprise, "I recognize this style of painting! This is the masterpiece of a genius painter!"

The sound was so excited and loud that it attracted everyone on the street.

Standing in front of the painting, Vivian Hsu personally interpreted it, saying, "This scholar has a truly discerning eye. This painting is indeed a masterpiece by a genius painter, and it depicts the rare Crystal Orchid."

The scholars had long heard the legend of the Crystal Orchid of Qinghe County, but they regretted that it was too far from the capital and they could not spare the time to see it for themselves.

Now, the masterpiece of a genius artist is right in front of me. It is drawn so realistically that it is as if I were seeing the real thing.

You can see the water droplets on the orchid flowers, and even an ant crawling on the flowerpot.

Moreover, this masterpiece is quite large, measuring a full ten feet wide.

In Wang's calligraphy and painting shop, even a small piece the size of a palm sells for three thousand taels of silver. A piece this large is probably beyond monetary value.

"Truly a masterpiece for all time."

So much so that many scholars forgot the time while admiring the paintings and missed lunch.

The afternoon classes at the Imperial Academy were about to begin, and the students could only buy some snacks at Gu's Tea House before reluctantly heading towards the main gate.

The waiter in the teahouse called out from behind, "Welcome back tomorrow, everyone! Our Gu Ji will be displaying the first page of this ancient book tomorrow."

The scholars were overjoyed, for only by seeing the pages inside could they truly determine whether the book was an ancient text from three hundred years ago.

In the afternoon, the renowned name of Gu's Teahouse spread throughout the entire Imperial Academy.

The Director of Studies and the Director of Education of the Imperial Academy both heard about this.

Even the fourth-rank Imperial Academy Chancellor learned about the ancient books in the nearby teahouse and thought: "How shameless! They dare to boast that they have a unique copy of an ancient book from the Great Chu Dynasty three hundred years ago. I, the Chancellor, must expose them."

After school let out in the afternoon, a group of people flocked into Gu's Tea House.
