Chapter 146 - Discussion

“I’ve thought about it. My mother, First Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, and I will manage it together,” Ning Yue said.

Management was very easy. She planned to divide the major subjects into finance, human resources, logistics, and technology. She would let Madam He and the other three do the first three while she taught the rest the technology.

Technology was more troublesome. There were planting techniques, brewing techniques, and conservation techniques.

In the end, they had to sell them. Selling them was not a problem. She discussed with Jiang Ying and asked him to sell the wine in the capital.

“It’s good for women to be meticulous, but these jobs can’t be completely done by female workers. Exploring the land is hard work. Men can do it,” Old Master Ning said.

“Alright, I’ll consider it,” Ning Yue said.

Hearing that they could do something big, Madam He and the other sisters-in-law agreed.

“Yueyue, when do we start?” Madam He asked. She couldn’t wait to roll up her sleeves and get ready to do something big.

“Mother, there’s no hurry. We have to buy the land first before finding grape seeds,” Ning Yue said.

The wine made from wild grapes tasted mellow. For example, modern grapes were improved varieties.

However, there shouldn’t be any improved grapes in ancient times, so she just had to go to the mountains and see if there were any suitable grapes.

“I know where to find grapes.” Madam Qu thought for a moment. She remembered seeing them on the back mountain. “But that path isn’t easy to walk. It’ll be difficult to access.”

Wouldn’t it be easy since she knew where it was? She would take a look later.

“How about this? Jiang Ying and I will go and see the grapes first. Mother, think about the division of labor I just mentioned at home. Do whatever you’re good at,” she instructed anxiously.

“Okay, we’ll discuss it. Go ahead,” Madam He said.

Ning Yue nodded and left in a hurry after telling everyone. When she found Jiang Ying, she was delighted and hurriedly ran to him. “Are you free?”

“Yes, I was just about to talk to you about the land,” Jiang Ying said.

“Oh?” Ning Yue was even happier. What a double surprise. She thought that Jiang Ying would take a few days to find land, but she didn’t expect it to be done so quickly.

“The place to plant them can be at the back of your house. The open space there is very large, enough for you to plant a hundred acres of grapes,” Jiang Ying said.

A hundred acres?

Ning Yue was shocked. In the beginning, she thought that it would be good enough if she could find dozens of acres. She did not expect the land behind to be so big.

“Not bad, not bad. What about the brewery?” Ning Yue asked again.

“I was about to tell you that there was originally a school in town, but that school was rather far from the center of the town, so I made the decision to move it to the center of the town. The original school can be used after some modification. Do you want to take a look?”

“Yes!” Ning Yue said happily.

Jiang Ying clapped his hands. Ah Da led a horse out. He mounted it and extended his hand to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue looked at his slender fingers and hesitated for a moment before holding them tightly.

With a gentle pull, he pulled Ning Yue onto the horse’s back. His hands reached out from beside her waist and held the reins tightly. This ambiguous action made Ning Yue blush and lower her head.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Ying whispered in her ear.

His warm breath landed on Ning Yue’s ear, making her heart beat faster.

“No, nothing.” Ning Yue stuttered.

In her previous life and this life, she had always been single. Although she had memories of being intimate with Jiang Ying, it was not like this.

“I feel that something’s wrong with you.” After Jiang Ying finished speaking, he reached out his right hand and gently stroked Ning Yue’s forehead.

Ning Yue was shocked and wanted to shrink back. Unexpectedly, she nestled in Jiang Ying’s arms. She was so frightened that she wanted to jump up, but Jiang Ying held her down.

“Yueyue, what are you doing? We’re riding a horse. It’s very dangerous for you to move around,” Jiang Ying said.

His face also turned very red. Ning Yue had already touched his lower body. If she continued to move, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to help it, but he knew that he couldn’t do anything because they were outside.

Although he had been intimate with Ning Yue, that was when both sides were drugged. Now that he was sober, it was impossible for him to do that with Ning Yue. That kind of romantic thing would only be done on their wedding night.
