In fact, Lian Fang Zhou’s heart had moved when he spoke. She did have good ideas in her heart, she had just been planning on acting on them when she had made some money. However, thinking about it, it was also good to cooperate with Cui Shao Xi. It would be even better if her cousin-in-law also participated.

Although she did not have a penny now, if she came up with the idea, she could take a share of the profits. She didn’t think it was taking advantage of them!

“I don’t know, how much capital do you have?” Lian Fang Zhou asked with a smile.

“Silver is not a problem!” Hearing her question, Cui Shao Xi’s eyes lit up with great emotion and he said generously: “You can have as much as you want!”

Ah Jian couldn’t help but glance at Lian Fang Zhou and say nothing.

After thinking about it, Lian Fang Zhou smiled: “You are really serious about this! I have an idea, but it’s a lot of money to invest, are you sure you want to hear it?”

“Naturally!” Cui Shao Xi said, thinking about it for a moment. He knew that Lian Fang Zhou was not someone who was petty, so he dared to borrow ten thousand taels from his cousin.

He felt that the more Fang Zhou spoke, the more she trusted and regarded him as a friend, so he was very happy.

He smiled and added another sentence: “Seven to eighty thousand taels, even one hundred thousand taels is not a problem!”

Hearing this, Cui Yi was shocked speechless. Dumbfounded, he stared at his master in disbelief.

Lian Fang Zhou shuddered in her heart and smiled: “You guessed it, you are very knowledgeable! I think one hundred thousand taels will definitely be necessary!”

Cui Yi blinked, his eyes turning to look at Lian Fang Zhou, even more dumbfounded.

Ah Jian and Lian Ze were also taken aback: She started with such a large sum of money as soon as she opened her mouth, what was she planning!?

One hundred thousand taels…

“It’s easy, it’s easy! Only Cui Shao Xi smiled, rubbing his palms. “So it seems that Fang Zhou has a good idea? Say it quickly!”

“I plan on buying a quiet place with mountains, water, flat land, gentle slopes, and nice scenery in Shuangliu county and build a garden.”

Cui Yi rolled his eyes: Building a garden but daring to ask for one hundred thousand taels? How could she not be ashamed?!

Cui Shao Xi didn’t think there was anything wrong with Lian Fang Zhou’s words. He smiled and said: “If Fang Zhou wants to build a garden, then let’s build a garden. I don’t know what it will be like?”

Lian Fang Zhou laughed: “Shuangliu county is located in the southwestern transportation hub, prosperous and wealthy. There are countless big merchants doing business every day. This garden will be somewhere they can invite friends and associates to accompany them and relax. There must be mountains and rivers to promote tranquility, lakes for boating and fishing, a hot spring would be even better! There should be a racetrack and archery range for riding and recreation. You could offer to let them play Cuju or form a team out of servants for them to watch. A stage for opera, plays, and music for scholars and poets… And of course, it should be like the north and south Yangtze River, with pavilions, towers, bridges, paths, flower gardens, animals like sika deer, peacocks, cranes, koi fish, the best cooks, the most comfortable inns… in short, it must be a place for people to have fun! What do you think?”

Simply put, what she wanted to built was actually a leisure park. It was just that this park was not something that ordinary people could visit. It would cost at least a few hundred to a few thousand taels to play for a day!

After Lian Fang Zhou finished speaking, she didn’t hear Cui Shao Xi answer for a while.

Feeling uneasy, she finally looked over at him and was surprised to find that not just Cui Shao Xi, but Ah Jian, Lian Ze, and Cui Yi were all staring at her without blinking.

“I, is there anything wrong with this idea?” Lian Fang Zhou asked, tugging at her sleeve.

“It is really amazing that you came up with this!” Ah Jian sighed.

Cui Shao Xi also sighed, saying: “Fang Zhou, you are really good! I understand what you mean, but even two hundred thousand taels would not be enough! However, there are so many wealthy businessmen in Shuangliu county that are local. After such a garden is complete, the money would flow like water!”

Cui Shao Xi was born wealthy and understood the wishes of these Gods of Wealth. As long as they could have fun, they wouldn’t care about the cost at all!

According to Lian Fang Zhou’s vision, everything in the garden would be readily available. As long as they paid attention to details and focused on the word ‘exquisite’, there would be no worry that no one would come.

Lian Fang Zhou nodded and said, “If one hundred thousand taels is not enough, why not ask my cousin-in-law if they are interested? Also, I don’t want to give you this idea in vain, I have to give my share. You pay out the money first and record the money I borrowed from you. I will return the money to you directly from the profits, with two percent interest.”

Cui Shao Xi hurriedly smiled and said: “You have such a good idea, I should pay for it, there shouldn’t be any interest! Let’s go visit my cousin after a few days, I think they will be interested!”

Lian Fang Zhou smiled: “You go first, I still need to grow cotton!”

“With such a garden, what kind of cotton is there to grow?” Cui Shao Xi joked and then asked about the garden again. The more they talked about it, the more excited he became, wishing that such a garden already existed so he could immediately go out and play.

Although Cui Shao Xi liked to have fun, he also had some good ideas. The two of them talked about it for a long time, only stopping for dinner. He solemnly warned Lian Fang Zhou not to mention this in front of anyone before ‘their’ garden was completed. If it spread, though there were few that had the financial resources to follow suit, the mystery would be ruined.

Naturally, Lian Fang Zhou smiled and agreed. She couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Cui Shao Xi secretly. She really wouldn’t have guessed that he would be extremely talented in business! It really was different in a big family.

After dinner, they sat and chatted for a while before Lian Fang Zhou urged Cui Yi and Cui Shao Xi to go to the Zhang family to rest.

They had sent a message to the Zhang family before their meal and the whole family was very happy.

Cui Shao Xi had no choice but to order Cui Yi to prepare a gift and order the driver to take the carriage over, Ah Jian and Lian Ze followed along with them.

Zhang Li Zheng’s family greeted them very enthusiastically, but Cui Shao Xi barely noticed. After sitting in the hall with a cup of tea, he excused himself for being tired and went into his room.

The same as last time, he stayed in the same room and used bedding from his own carriage.

Madam Niu’s eyes flickered as she watched them move things into the wing, secretly calculating in her heart that they were all good things. Even if they sold them, they could get a lot of money…

TN: CSX makes me laugh. He borrowed 10,000 taels from his cousin to impress the girl he likes and now he’s going back for another 100,000 at least. I can only imagine the look on his cousin’s face!
