Chapter 640: The Exquisite Handsome Man
A tree wants to submit to her?
Ivy could hardly believe it.
But when she thought about the blue spot snake actively wanting to be her pet, she suddenly felt that it wasn't impossible.
Perhaps it was because she had a 77,000-year-old river clam Magic Pearl inside her.
Both the blue spot snake and the spirit tree had submitted to the 77,000-year-old river clam Magic Pearl.
"Lord Sima, how did you actually become wealthy?"
Ivy was eager to know. As someone about to start her own business, she wanted to learn from others' successful experiences.
Lord Sima felt a great sense of accomplishment as he said, "Well, it mainly comes from my inherent keen business sense. When I was very young, I saw how hard my parents worked, struggling to make ends meet. I had a strong desire to become rich and change the family's living conditions.
When I was ten, I went into the mountains to pick mushrooms. By chance, I overheard a conversation between two adults, talking about how wild mushrooms from the mountains could be sold for a lot of money in the city. They were also discussing which animal skins were valuable. I took note of it, and secretly took the mushrooms I had picked to the city to sell. With the money I earned, I bought a large animal trap and started hunting wild beasts.
In just a few days, I caught a tiger, shot it dead with a homemade bow and arrow, and used a homemade pulley to drag the tiger back home. My parents were frightened.
With my persuasion, my parents helped me skin the tiger, and we took the tiger meat and skin to the street to sell, earning a lot of money. After that, my parents started hunting professionally, and I began capturing new business opportunities.
I heard that people in the south were often bitten by mosquitoes, leading to many pustules on their bodies. They needed a large amount of Chinese herbal medicine, which could only be found on the snow-capped mountains in the north. So, I hired a few strong men to accompany me to the northern snow-capped mountains to collect herbs.
We collected several bags of herbs and as soon as we arrived in the southern streets, they were sold out. Do you know how much money I made from that?"
Lord Sima said with great pride, "The Lewis family's mansion was built at that time. The whole village envied us. Later, everyone went to the north to collect herbs. I didn't go, instead, I bought all the herbs collected by everyone and turned them into floral water, selling them wholesale to major pharmacies in the south.
At the age of fifteen, I started taking wives. At that time, it wasn't because I wanted women, but because I wanted more people in the family, to make it livelier and reduce my mother's household chores.
I remember in the first year, I married four wives. One specialized in doing laundry, one specialized in cooking, one specialized in counting money, and one accompanied me in business..."
Ivy, "..."
This Lord Sima knows how to live.
If he hired people, how much would he have to pay in salary? But instead, he directly married wives and earned a group of free housekeepers.
"Afterwards, everyone knew that the Lewis family was rich. Those with daughters did everything they could to marry into the Lewis family. Some even offered dowries. Of course, mainly because I, Lord Sima, am quite handsome."
Lord Sima stroked his long hair and said with great confidence, "Having the looks like mine, it's no wonder."
"..." Ivy remained silent.
This elderly gentleman is quite narcissistic, comparable to the old gentleman from the Ashford family.
Alexander cleared his throat and tidied his hair.
As the wealthiest man in ancient Europe, he is so handsome and rich, yet not as vain as the old gentleman from the Lewis family. Could you please not be so ostentatious?
Upon seeing Alexander's face, Lord said with great satisfaction, "As the saying goes, each new generation surpasses the previous one, and it is truly the case. If it weren't for the powerful genes of the Lewis family, how could Alexander be so charming? Ivy, my dear great-granddaughter, he is so devoted to you, so you must treat him well and not let him down."
Ivy,"...".
