Chapter 1502 Wu Family, Wu Fengyuan

Shu Yu spoke first, calling out to him, "Young Master Wu?"

Wu Fengyuan suddenly realized, "You are... Lu Xiangjun?" He looked Shu Yu up and down for a moment, looking somewhat uncertain.

Seeing Shu Yu nod, he was taken aback, then frowned in confusion, "Why are you dressed like this?"

It's no wonder he didn't recognize her; the woman in front of him looked like a married woman with several wrinkles on her face, appearing to be around thirty years old. Moreover, she was wearing drab, patched-up clothes, which didn't resemble Lu Xiangjun at all.

Not only was she dressed like that, but Ying Xi was too. She still looked like a young girl, but her clothes and appearance were like those of a country girl.

If Wu Fengyuan hadn't recognized Shu Yu's voice, he would have almost ignored her completely, treating her like a complete stranger.

Shu Yu coughed lightly, touched her hair, and smiled, "I have some things to take care of in a bit, so I'm changing my clothes for now."

Wu Fengyuan nodded without asking any further questions, as this was clearly Lu Xiangjun's private matter.

However, he had some guesses in his mind, estimating that he came for those few acres of sunflower fields.

Otherwise, how come Lu Xiangjun is here today, and even came to our door, when he only went to report the news yesterday?

He thought to himself that there was nothing important to do in the afternoon, so he could take Lu Xiangjun to see those few acres of land.

Thinking of this, Wu Fengyuan smiled and said, "Lu Xiangjun, you've been traveling all the way. Come in, rest for a while, and have a cup of tea."

"OK."

"Please come in."

The gatekeeper of the Wu family didn't hear what they were saying, so he didn't know who Shu Yu was.

He could only watch helplessly as his young master invited a woman who looked like she was there to freeload into the house.

Upon entering the front hall, Yingxi placed the gifts he had brought on the table.

Wu Fengyuan raised an eyebrow.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Young Master Wu, for making a special trip yesterday to inform us that some people in Donggu County have started planting sunflowers."

Wu Fengyuan waved his hand, "You're too kind, Mr. Lu. I just happened to be passing by and it was nothing more than a small favor."

Shu Yu smiled. What do you mean by "just happened to be passing by"? Unless Wu Fengyuan was going to Jiangyuan County to visit his sister who had married into the Ding family, it was unlikely that he would be near their workshop at that time.

Shu Yu remembered this kindness.

"Regardless, I still want to thank Young Master Wu."

Wu Fengyuan didn't say anything more, accepted the gift as a token of his gratitude, and offered Shu Yu some tea.

After sitting for a while, he asked, "Lu Xiangjun, would you like to go and take a look at that newly planted sunflower field?"

Shu Yu hadn't originally intended to go see it. She had anticipated this kind of thing, and it was probably not just in Donggu County; other places were likely doing it too. She couldn't focus her energy on stopping people from planting sunflowers. Fighting would be too time-consuming and might not even yield results. All she could do was to quickly establish her reputation as a travel writer.

But Wu Fengyuan's question gave Shu Yu an idea: she wanted to go and see how the land was being cultivated.

Therefore, Shu Yu nodded, "Alright, but wouldn't that be too much of a burden on Young Master Wu?"

"It's no problem, I happen to be free this afternoon."

Thank you.

Without further delay, the two quickly got up and went out to the sunflower field.

That piece of land was outside the city, not far away, and it was cultivated on the estate of a local gentry.

The carriage stopped about 60 or 70 meters away from the land.
