Chapter 447 Real Power
Su Daya felt the warmth in her palm and gave Su Erya a comforting look.
Then he looked at Shen Yueyao seriously and said, "Third Aunt, I hate the Lu family. Even if Lu Manzhi is my mother, since she made the decision, I don't want to have any contact with the Lu family or them."
"Back then, they clearly had a subtle way to achieve their goal, but they used the most drastic method, making the Su family a laughing stock."
"Although I was young at the time, I still remember when I was in exile, people at the city gate laughed at my father and also laughed at me."
At that time, those people's mocking words hurt Su Daya very much.
It is said that Su Daya is a child who has no mother.
She said she didn't know whether she could reach the place of exile alive.
She said her father was not capable of keeping her mother.
Let’s look at Madam Su Er. She is a true scholar and can share the hardships with us.
She said that her father said a lot, almost digging out many things that her father had done.
Let’s also talk about Aunt Yang Yanran.
She said her father was stupid for choosing Lu Manzhi.
Anyway, many of the words were so harsh at the time that even though she was young at the time, she was deeply impressed.
If not, she might not have been so extreme later.
She is extreme and only wants others to respect her and wants to prove something.
Thinking about it now, she feels that she was so stupid before.
Of course she can't choose her own mother, but she can choose what kind of person she wants to be.
This is what her third aunt said to her, and she has always kept it in mind.
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Then I understand. Don't worry, I didn't give any reply."
Madam Su snorted coldly and said, "How dare they come and send you invitations."
When talking about the Lu family, Madam Su felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Back then, the old lady of the Lu family came to their house in person to force them, and what she said was so unpleasant, she heard it all clearly.
It was as if he was afraid that they would not let Lu Manzhi go.
Shen Yueyao said: "Mom, don't be angry, now the Lu family won't dare to treat our Su family like before."
"Besides, the Lu family is too ruthless, so the emperor doesn't dare to use them. Although the Lu family is still an aristocratic family and still in the capital, the official positions held by their descendants have no real power and are not taken seriously."
The Lu family may seem like a wealthy family, but it’s actually useless.
What's more, the current emperor values the Su family, so he naturally knows about the Su family and what the Lu family did in the past.
The emperor despises the Lu family's way of doing things, and he dares not use such a family.
The Su family treated the Lu family well, but as soon as something happened to the Su family, the Lu family showed their true colors, which was quite shocking.
But because of this, the reputation of the women from the Lu family was ruined.
Most big families don’t dare to look for women from the Lu family.
Perhaps the Lu family realized some things later.
Now I want to ease the relationship with the Su family.
"Could it be that the Lu family wants to apologize to the Su family and reconcile their relationship with them?"
Su Erya frowned and said thoughtfully.
"Humph, according to the customs of the people in the capital, if they really want to apologize, they will naturally arrange for the head of the Lu family to come in person."
"But they only arranged for servants to deliver the invitations, and they were obviously still acting in a condescending manner. This is their usual formality, so don't worry about it."
"When she was exiled, Lu Manzhi's dowry was taken away, and the things behind the Su family were seized. They didn't even bother to care about Daya's life or death, and came to see her, even if it was just to give her some gifts to help her."
"It's just that they think Daya is a girl, not a boy, so they don't take her seriously."
In fact, to put it bluntly, the Lu family is used to being snobbish.
Look at people with your nose up.
Shen Yueyao said: "In that case, don't bother with it."
As she spoke, Shen Yueyao exerted force, and the Lu family's invitation was shattered into dust.
Shen Yueyao said seriously: "Don't worry, the Lu family won't dare to bully us again."
Shen Yueyao had already thought about it. If the Lu family dared to cause trouble, she would make them get out of here.
Shen Yueyao said: "Don't think about the Lu family's affairs, don't let irrelevant people affect your mood, come, let's cook and have lunch."
When the topic of lunch came up, everyone finally relaxed.
"Aunt San, what are we having for lunch?"
Shen Yueyao said: "There are vegetables and grains here in Zhuangzi, pick some vegetables and bring them back to cook."
Su Erya pointed to something in the corner and said, "Those are mushrooms and fungus given by the people in the farm. They are all mountain products that they picked from the mountains."
When Shen Yueyao saw these, her eyes lit up and she knew what to do.
"Let's grab a chicken from the chicken coop in the yard. I'll make chicken stew with mushrooms. Then I'll go to the field and pick some onions. I'll make scrambled eggs with onions and some eggplant. I also bought some tofu on the way here. I'll make a dish of cabbage stew with tofu."
Make a few more dishes for the four of them, which is just right for the three of them and Chen Shizhu.
Because Chen Shizhu took Shen Yueyao as his master, he was equivalent to being half a member of the Su family.
Shen Yueyao knew that the master-disciple relationship was highly valued in this era.
When everyone heard what to make for lunch, their mood suddenly brightened.
I feel that delicious food can best improve one’s mood.
Su Daya and Su Erya also prefer the food cooked by Aunt San.
The two of them didn't have time to think about anything else. Some went to catch chickens, and some went to pick vegetables in the fields.
Of course, cabbage is a winter vegetable. Most villagers put cabbage in the cellar, and people from the farm also brought some cabbage over.
Although they all said no, this was also a token of their gratitude from the people in Zhuangzi.
They were grateful to their boss, but they didn't know what to do, so they could only send some vegetables and eggs.
Because they knew that there were people living in this house and the kitchen needed some ingredients.
It just so happens that it comes in handy right now.
Soon, everyone was busy.
Now Su Daya is very skilled in handling chicken feathers.
Of course she wouldn't waste the chicken feathers.
After washing and drying, you can make a chicken feather mattress, which is very warm.
Mrs. Su helped wash the vegetables.
Shen Yueyao seemed to have thought of something and asked, "What would you like to eat for lunch?"
Madam Su, Su Daya and Su Erya all let Shen Yueyao decide.
Su Daya and Su Erya felt that their third aunt made delicious cakes, noodles and steamed rice.
It is delicious whether eaten with any dish.
Shen Yueyao thought about it and decided to just steam the rice.
On weekdays, the family mostly eats steamed buns.
People in the north are used to eating steamed buns, while many people in the south are used to eating rice.
Shen Yueyao was preparing to steam rice, and she also took out the rice from the space. It was full of spiritual energy and tasted naturally fragrant.
This kind of rice tastes great when steamed.
Shen Yueyao felt that good steamed rice tasted particularly delicious even without any vegetables.
Steaming rice is faster than making steamed buns.
Shen Yueyao is also fast at cooking.
We have two pots here, so it’s quick to cook four dishes this way.
Chen Shizhu was reading a medical book in the yard where he usually lived and almost forgot the time, but suddenly he smelled a strong aroma of food.
Just the smell made his mouth water.
Only then did Chen Shizhu realize that it was time for lunch.
He didn't feel hungry at first, but the smell made his stomach growl.
Just when Chen Shizhu couldn't concentrate on reading, Shen Yueyao brought some dishes and two bowls of rice from the kitchen.
She packed some of each dish and brought it over.
"Eat, don't just focus on reading. Your health is the most important thing."
Chen Shizhu smelled the fragrance and looked at the food that his master brought him. He was so moved that his voice choked with emotion, "Thank you, Master."
Shen Yueyao said, "Eat quickly."
After saying that, Shen Yueyao went back.
Chen Shizhu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
The master is so good to him.
Ever since his mother passed away, no one cooks for him anymore.
When they were at the Chen family mansion, the meals cooked in the kitchen were also prepared for the old man, the old lady, and Mr. Chen Erye.
As for him and his father, sometimes they came home late and had to eat cold dishes and cold rice.
As Chen Shizhu ate rice and vegetables, he felt warm in his heart, and a warm current flowed through his whole body.
The lunch was very sumptuous.
Old Madam Su, Su Daya and Su Erya all had smiles on their faces as they ate.
They felt that the same food, cooked by Shen Yueyao, was more delicious than theirs, even if the steps and seasonings were the same.
I don’t know if it’s just their psychological effect.
In fact, Shen Yueyao later realized that maybe because she had her own spiritual energy, the food she cooked would taste better.
It makes people more likely to have an appetite.
…
In the afternoon, Shen Yueyao went to the farm near the academy.
When Shen Yueyao entered the milk tea dessert shop, she happened to see the tea family who had discussed the tea business before.
And she also smelled the scent of tea leaves.
Shen Yueyao went to the yard where the carriage was placed and found that the tea leaves from the tea house were still on the horses.
Shen Yueyao was a little confused. When she entered the store, she saw them at a table in the lobby. They all looked unhappy.
Even Cha Maocai was sitting next to them.
Shen Yueyao thought, this is because he didn’t go to the academy in the inner city?
"Tea boss!"
Cha Zhenghao looked up when he heard the voice, "Boss Shen, you're here!"
As he said this, he stood up all of a sudden.
"Are you waiting for me here?"
Cha Zhenghao and the others knew that Mr. Shen was a straightforward person, so he spoke directly: "I don't know if you will still buy tea, Mr. Shen. I'm sorry, I didn't sell all the tea to you because I really wanted to give it away."
"It's just that something went wrong this time. We have to go back, and we can't take all the tea with us. So we can only ask Mr. Shen, are you still buying tea?"
"If Mr. Shen buys tea, I will sell it at a 20% discount."
20% off is a very low price.
When Shen Yueyao heard this, her eyes lit up.
The tea brought by these people in the tea industry is all very good tea.
She took it home and had everyone taste it, and Su Xueyi said it was good tea.
She also brought him some to drink at work.
Shen Yueyao felt that the smell was very good just by smelling it.
What's more, I also drank tea, which was really good.
The previous price was also fair, not expensive at all.
The price is even lower this time.
Of course, it may also be because the tea family has their own tea garden, so they can set the price.
If they had purchased all this tea, they wouldn't have dared to mention this price.
Shen Yueyao wasn't a hypocritical person, so she said, "Then I'll buy them all."
Upon hearing Shen Yueyao's words, Cha Zhenghao and the others became excited.
Cha Zhenghao just felt that Mr. Shen in front of him was a good person.
They were also worried about having to take the tea with them when they returned.
The original intention was to arrange Maocai to Wende Academy, but who would have thought that the other party gave the place to someone else.
They refused to take their things and even kicked them out.
The servants at the door looked down on them.
Although Cha Zhenghao did encounter many people who looked down on businessmen like him when he went out to do business, he thought he was used to it.
But for the sake of his son's admission to the academy, he had to put on a smile no matter what.
I didn't expect it to be of any use at all, and I was even ridiculed and scolded.
Even his son didn't dare to speak.
Cha Zhenghao felt very uncomfortable.
Merchants had a low status, and they were looked down upon even more when they entered the capital, where noble families lived everywhere.
Maybe it's because they are dressed too casually.
But they had come such a long way from Qingzhou that they had no time to pack up properly.
Cha Zhenghao bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
He has met so many people in his business career, but no one has ever been like Mr. Shen.
She was a sixth-rank lady, but she did not look down on them.
Shen Yueyao waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Mainly because your tea is good and the price is reasonable, so I bought it."
Shen Yueyao didn't ask what happened.
Asking some questions may hurt others.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that Cha Maocai didn't even enter the academy.
"In fact, there are other good academies in the capital. You don't have to go to Wende Academy."
Cha Zhenghao shook his head and said, "But we don't know anyone in other academies, and we don't have any connections, so we can't get in."
He knew that the academies in the capital were the most famous academies in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, and it was not easy to get into one of them.
What's more, they are businessmen and don't have much connection with the higher-ups.
"Not to mention Maocai's situation."
What Cha Zhenghao was talking about was naturally Cha Maocai's stuttering.
Good colleges are generally unwilling to accept such students.
Cha Maocai felt even worse. He felt guilty for causing his father to worry.
Originally, my father and second uncle didn't have to make such a trip, it was all for him.
Shen Yueyao felt that the Lulin Academy was actually quite good.
However, Shen Yueyao could not make the decision for the dean of Lulin Academy.
Maybe I can ask later.
Just when Shen Yueyao was thinking this, suddenly an excited voice came from outside, "Sister Shen, is Sister Shen here?"
Shen Yueyao was stunned. She didn't know who it was.
I just felt that the voice was familiar, and soon I saw Shangguan Kang followed by a group of scholars wearing the uniform of Lulin Academy.
The scholars looking at the scenery in the yard were all stunned.
Shangguan Kang, on the other hand, didn't bother to look at the scenery and went straight in to find Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao looked at Shangguan Kang, whose complexion had improved, and said, "Master Shangguan."
Shangguan Kang looked at Shen Yueyao gratefully and said, "Can I...can I call you Sister Shen? You are my benefactor. It is equivalent to you saving my life."
Ever since Sister Shen cured him of the poison, he felt much more relaxed. He took the medicine according to her prescription every day, and the kitchen cooked according to the menu she wrote.
He followed the instructions carefully and felt much better during this period. He could sleep well and had more energy.
The feeling of physical comfort is indescribable.
Of course, he wanted to go down the mountain early to see Sister Shen and thank her in person.
But his father wouldn't let him and insisted that he recuperate for a period of time.
So he recuperated for a while before coming here.
Shen Yueyao looked at Shangguan Kang's excitement and saw that his health was getting better. For some reason, she felt very happy.
"sure."
Shangguan Kang was seventeen years old, younger than her, and she had a natural sense of closeness to him, instinctively allowing him to call her sister.
If it were someone else, Shen Yueyao would not let anyone call her that casually.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "But you don't have to thank me. The one you should really thank is your father. It was he who agreed to the conditions I mentioned. For example, now all the students in your academy can go down the mountain."
Shen Yueyao saw the people from Lulin Academy, who were looking at the scenery in the courtyard with curiosity.
Shangguan Kang looked back at the people from the academy and said, "As soon as they heard the pinyin, they were eager to come with me to the store to take a look."
"I can now walk down the mountain by myself without feeling tired."
This feeling is really great.
Shangguan Kang was so excited that he couldn't help but talk more to Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao listened to him patiently with a smile.
“Sister Shen, your medical skills are amazing. I think you are a miracle doctor. No one can compare to your medical skills.”
Shangguan Kang said this sincerely, and his eyes were very pure when he looked at Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao looked at Shangguan Kang and felt that he was just like a little child.
Although he is seventeen years old, perhaps because of his physical condition, his family has always treated him like a child and has not allowed him to come into contact with the outside world.
He only interacted with people in the academy, the environment was simple, so his mind was also pure.
However, when Shangguan Kang and Shen Yueyao were talking, Cha Zhenghao and his group also heard it.
Cha Zhenghao widened his eyes excitedly. Is this Mr. Shen in front of him a miracle doctor?
Does she also know medical skills?
The way the young man in front of me spoke didn't sound fake at all.
Moreover, Cha Zhenghao could see that Shen Dong's family was a very nice group of people and they were definitely not the kind of people who would use their medical skills to deceive others.
Thinking of Maocai's stuttering, Cha Zhenghao opened his mouth excitedly and wanted to say something.
Cha Maocai was also stunned.
Is this girl in front of me a miracle doctor?
He didn’t know if his stuttering could be cured. He didn’t want to stutter, didn’t want to be looked down upon, and didn’t want his father to worry about him anymore.
His father already had white hair, and he felt sad and guilty just looking at him.
But Mr. Shen has already helped them a lot, how can he have the nerve to say this.
Instead, Cha Maocai's second uncle stood up and said respectfully, "Boss Shen, please forgive me for being so shameless and want to ask you to help my nephew. If you can cure his stuttering, our Cha family will be grateful. Boss Shen is our benefactor."
Cha Lao Er looked serious and solemn, and bowed deeply, almost kneeling down.
Cha Zhenghao felt a lump in his throat when he saw his second brother's expression, and he also hurriedly saluted.
Shen Yueyao hurriedly helped them up and said, "No need to do this. Get up quickly. I'll help Master Cha take a look first."
Shen Yueyao knows medical skills, but she is now mainly engaged in business and has not announced to the outside world that she is a doctor.
So if someone comes to her, she will take the initiative to help. If no one comes to her, she will not say to them, "Oh, I'm a doctor, let me take your pulse."
No one else will believe it that way.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that the Cha family saw Shangguan Kang at this time and they learned about her medical skills.
It is they who believe it, otherwise it is useless.
Cha Zhenghao hurriedly asked Cha Maocai to come over.
Shen Yueyao said: "It's okay, just sit down, I'll take your pulse."
