Chapter 188 What the elder sister doesn't want is given to the younger sister
Shen Luoyun gritted his teeth and knelt down after hearing this.
"I, Shen Luoyun, swear to heaven that as long as Madam Jun can save my mother, I, Shen Luoyun, will be loyal to Madam Jun for the rest of my life."
Su Hanchu looked at her, a bottle of pills appeared in his sleeve, he poured out a pill and slowly walked forward.
"Chen Luoyun, I never believe in oaths."
Shen Luoyun knew that she had to ask for help from others, and thought about the difficulties of being a concubine. She decided to take a gamble, took the pill, put it in her mouth and swallowed it.
Su Hanchu half-knelt down and helped her up.
"Come, get up first. It's getting late. I'll send someone to take you back."
Then he winked at Ping'er.
Ping'er stepped forward and handed over a few banknotes.
Su Hanchu put the banknote into Shen Luoyun's hand.
"Here is five hundred taels of silver. Since your aunt has been in poor health for many years, she definitely needs the money. You don't have to refuse. Since you are mine, you shouldn't worry about money. Go back and take good care of your aunt. As for your father, you can tell him that I like you very much and hope you will come to the Jun family more often."
Shen Luoyun looked at the silver notes in his hand and knew that his bet was right. With these five hundred taels of silver notes, his mother would have the money to take medicine next.
"Luo Yun thanks Madam Jun, Madam Jun, I will definitely do my best for you..."
Su Hanchu spoke with a smile.
"Okay, go back first. I'll send someone to post you when I need you."
Chuye Villa at this time.
Jun Moye held a long sword in his hand, the sword light was like a dragon, he soared into the air, his figure was unstoppable, he performed a set of sword skills smoothly, and spoke with a steady breath.
"That's all for today. You can practice a few times on your own, then go have a midnight snack and rest. Tomorrow at dawn, we will all do horse stance for an hour."
Hundreds of people bowed in unison upon seeing this.
"Farewell, young master."
After seeing Jun Moye walk away, he began to practice swordsmanship with the sword.
Jun Moye walked away and went behind a big tree, hiding his figure, and looked back at the group of people practicing swordsmanship.
These people are basically between eight and twelve years old, with good bones. Each one was selected by himself and the Su family father and son, hoping that they can be of some use after training.
After watching for a while, I really left.
As August passes, September arrives.
Madam Shen has been looking for young men with suitable family backgrounds for Shen Luoxue recently. However, in the northwest, there are only a few families with outstanding family backgrounds, and the other two prefectures are a bit far away. In the end, she chose the eldest son of County Magistrate Gu.
I made an appointment with the Gu family to visit the provincial capital on the Double Ninth Festival.
In order to show her importance to this marriage, Mrs. Shen even went to the gate of the mansion to greet Mrs. Gu in person.
Mrs. Gu was a little flattered.
“Madam Shen, how dare I ask you to wait for me, you can just send a little maid to lead the way for me.”
Madam Shen spoke gently.
"Look at what you're saying. Our two families have been friends for so many years, and now we want to be friends for generations. Naturally, I treat you like a sister."
Madam Gu followed Madam Shen step by step into the mansion and spoke intimately.
"Since Sister Xu (Mrs. Chen's last name) has said so, I will definitely respect you as my own sister from now on, and I will definitely love Luoxue as my own daughter."
Gu Chen, the eldest son of the Gu family, followed Madam Gu, looking very gentlemanly.
Soon they arrived at the hall, where the housekeeper had already brewed hot tea, and Mrs. Shen began to give instructions.
"Mother Qiu, let the eldest lady come out to meet Madam Gu."
Soon Shen Luoxue came to the hall in a turquoise dress.
Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter dressed up gracefully, with a satisfied smile in her eyes.
"Xue'er, this is your Aunt Gu and your Brother Gu."
Shen Luoxue saluted gracefully.
"Luoxue has met Aunt Gu and Brother Gu."
She just glanced at Gu Chen out of the corner of her eye and felt disappointed. Compared with Jun Moye, Gu Chen was really far behind. No, she could not just sit there and wait for death. Since her father was willing to send the daughter of the Shen family to the Jun family as a concubine, it meant that Jun Moye's future prospects were definitely not comparable to that of this little young man from the northwest.
Madam Gu looked at Shen Ruoxue with a satisfied smile on her face, and even stood up and enthusiastically took Shen Ruoxue’s hand.
"Well, well, well, our Luoxue is indeed a talented lady from the Northwest. Look at her temperament. There's no one else like her in the Northwest."
Gu Chen's eyes also fell on Shen Luoxue. Shen Luoxue had tight features, fair skin, and a slender body. She looked like a beautiful girl in a turquoise dress.
Sensing Gu Chen's gaze, Shen Luoxue turned her head away. The upbringing she received since childhood made her sit aside and drink tea obediently.
But my heart is filled with mixed emotions.
Mrs. Gu just thought she was shy.
"Sister Xu, I just saw that the chrysanthemums in your garden are in full bloom. Why don't you let Luoxue take our Gu Chen to see them? Our Gu Chen has been studying a lot these years. He just passed the provincial examination this year. He's been staying in the house reading every day and feels like a nerd. This is a good opportunity for him to look at the flowers and grass and relax. He still has to prepare for the imperial examination next year."
Mrs. Shen felt even more satisfied after hearing this.
"Luoxue, take your brother Gu for a walk in the garden. He must be tired from reading all day."
Seeing this, Shen Luoxue felt it was not easy to offend the elders in person, so she had to stand up.
"Brother Gu, please come this way."
Gu Chen knew that his mother was trying to gain an opportunity for him to spend time with Shen Luoxue, so he spoke with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for troubling Sister Shen."
Watching the two of them leave.
The wives of both the Shen and Gu families showed satisfaction on their faces, and they smiled at each other.
Mrs. Gu spoke with joy in her eyes.
"The way these two kids just walked out, they looked like a perfect match. What do you think, Sister Xu?"
Mrs. Shen knew what her daughter was thinking and was eager for the marriage to be settled as soon as possible.
"Yes, in my opinion, they are a perfect match."
Upon hearing Mrs. Shen’s comments, Mrs. Gu hurriedly spoke.
"In that case, why don't we both choose a suitable date and schedule the wedding? My master will be very happy to marry into the Shen family that day. We're already preparing the betrothal gifts and will definitely not let Luoxue down."
And at this time in the garden.
Gu Chen and Shen Luoxue walked step by step.
Shen Luoxue was in a heavy mood and didn't know what to say.
It was Gu Chen who spoke nervously.
"Sister Shen, I see there are many chrysanthemums planted in the mansion. Do you like chrysanthemums?"
Shen Luoxue lowered her head and spoke after hearing this.
"I don't like it. It's just that the chrysanthemums are in full bloom at this time of year, so we planted some in the mansion. I prefer the plum blossoms in the cold winter. They stand proudly in the snow, and even after all other flowers have bloomed, they still bloom."
Gu Chen couldn't help but look at Shen Luoxue when he heard this. As expected, she was a lady from the state capital. She felt different from the ordinary ladies in the boudoir.
"Sure enough, no wonder my mother said that Sister Shen is the most talented woman in the northwest, with the most unique insights. She is indeed different from others. I, Gu Chen, have seen this today."
Shen Luoxue had no intention of continuing to appreciate the flowers with him. Suddenly, she looked at Shen Luoyun who was passing by with her maid and shouted.
"Second sister."
