Chapter 189 Some people just like to die
Shen Luoyun, who was about to go to the Jun family to thank Su Hanchu, didn't expect to meet Shen Luoxue when passing by the garden. But since he met her, he must go up and say hello, after all, she is the legitimate daughter.
"Luo Yun meets the elder sister."
Shen Luoxue's mind moved, and she spoke gently.
"Second sister, don't be so polite. Didn't I tell you? We are sisters. We shouldn't be so polite in private."
Then he introduced him to Gu Chen.
"Brother Gu, this is my sister Shen Luoyun, a girl from our Shen family who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Then he introduced him to Shen Luoyun.
"Second sister, this is Brother Gu, the eldest son of Master Gu, who is visiting our house."
Gu Chen thought that Shen Luoxue intended to introduce someone close to him, so he bowed to Shen Luoyun with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Miss Shen Er."
Shen Luoyun didn't know what medicine Shen Luoxue was selling in her gourd, so she still politely returned the gift.
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
Shen Luoxue suddenly coughed.
"Ahem... ahem, Brother Gu, I've caught a cold recently and shouldn't stand in the wind for long. Let me accompany you to appreciate the flowers. I'll apologize to Brother Gu another day."
After saying that, he bowed without waiting for Gu Chen to say anything.
"Brother Gu, Luoxue will take her leave first."
Then he left with his maid.
Shen Luoyun naturally knew that Madam Shen had been looking for a marriage partner for Shen Luoxue recently. It seemed that Mr. Gu was probably the chosen one. How could Shen Luoxue actually leave him to herself like this?
After a brief panic, Shen Luoyun leaned over and said.
"Master Gu, my sister has indeed caught a cold these days. Please don't be offended, Master Gu."
After hearing this, Gu Chen spoke with concern.
"I've seen a doctor. I shouldn't have let her bring me to see the flowers. She must be uncomfortable in the wind."
Shen Luoyun patiently spoke to cover up for Shen Luoxue.
"Thank you, Master Gu, for your concern for my elder sister. I've already asked a doctor to prescribe medicine. Don't worry, Master Gu, it's just a common cold."
Gu Chen felt relieved after hearing this. His mother brought him here to propose marriage to Shen Luoxue, so it would be inappropriate for the second young lady of the Shen family to be with him.
"Second Miss, it's very windy here. Don't worry about me. I'll go back to the front hall to find my mother."
Shen Luoyun felt relieved after hearing this, as this would save him from embarrassment.
"Then I'll let the maid lead the way for Master Gu."
Then he gave instructions to Qingmei.
"Qingmei, lead Mr. Gu to the front hall to find Madam Gu and the others."
After all, this is someone else's residence, and I'm not familiar with the road. It would be bad if I go to the wrong place and bump into others. It would be best to have someone lead the way.
"Then I'll trouble you, Second Miss. I'll thank you when I come to visit Sister Luoxue another day."
Soon Qingmei took Gu Chen away.
Shen Luoyun sat in the pavilion waiting for Qingping.
It seems that Shen Luoxue doesn't like Master Gu. But this lady has never been anxious about Shen Luoxue's marriage before. Why is she suddenly anxious and has chosen someone so quickly? Is there something about Shen Luoxue that she doesn't know?
Because he was thinking about the problem, Shen Luoyun didn't react until Qingping approached.
Qingmei looked at Shen Luoyun who was in a daze.
"Second Miss, what are you looking at?"
Shen Luoyun said.
"Nothing, let's go to Jun's house."
Qingmei followed him, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then spoke in a low voice.
"Second Miss, why did you cover up for the eldest lady just now? She was obviously lying."
Shen Luoyun said.
"She and I both have the surname Shen. If this girl from the Shen family says something unpleasant, it will damage my reputation. What's more, if I don't speak up for her, I'm afraid my mother will blame me again."
At this time, in Shen Luoxue's room.
Shen Luoxue was in a panic.
Lihua spoke with some concern.
"Miss, Master Gu looks quite good. Madam has spent so much time choosing him. If you leave Master Gu in the garden like this, Madam will probably scold you later."
Shen Luoxue spoke nonchalantly.
"Isn't Chen Luoyun here? Besides, what's not bad? That guy surnamed Gu is far inferior to Master Jun, okay?"
Lihua tried to persuade him earnestly.
"Miss, it's true that Mr. Gu can't compare to Mr. Jun in terms of talent and appearance, but if you go to the Gu family, you will become a proper wife. Besides, Mr. Gu will take part in the imperial examination next year, so he has a bright future..."
Shen Luoxue interrupted Lihua impatiently.
"What do you know? Even my father is polite to Master Jun. Besides, only the royal family has the surname Jun. Master Jun's status is much more noble than that of the Gu family."
Lihua spoke helplessly.
"But Miss, Master Jun already has a wife, and his wife would definitely not agree to you becoming a concubine in the Jun family."
Shen Luoxue's eyes flashed with calculation when she heard this.
"What do you mean I have to be a concubine? If father and mother are willing to help me, I can become a lord's wife. How am I any worse than that Su Hanchu?"
Then she sat down on the dressing table angrily and looked at her face in the bronze mirror.
She quickly opened the makeup box and took out a bracelet and two silver notes.
"Lihua, you've been with me since you were little. Aren't you from the same hometown as Maoyuan, who works for my father? Go and find out when my father will invite Master Jun to our house to discuss something."
Lihua spoke with some concern upon seeing this.
"Miss, if the lady finds out..."
Shen Luoxue saw Lihua’s timid look and spoke viciously.
"Mother again! Are you my maid or yours? Haven't you figured it out yet? Go and find out quickly, Lihua. I treat you well every day. If you can't even do this little thing, I'll tell mother that you took my things and have her sell you off."
Lihua had no choice but to nod after hearing this.
"I understand, miss."
On the Jun family's side.
With the transformation of the barren mountain, Chuye Villa has completely changed. In front of the manor are a mushroom shop and an oil press, and the back mountain is where Jun Moye trains people.
Almost all the men in Guanping Village came to learn how to drive a horse-drawn carriage, and those who did not want to learn also began to learn how to press vegetable oil.
The women from Guanping Village all come here to work and grow mushrooms.
Su Hanchu and the other person also built a number of houses in the manor.
The couple from Guanping Village were placed in the same room.
Only the elderly and children are left in Guanping Village.
Su Hanchu looked at the large mushroom shop and oil press with a smile on his face. He finally did something for the people.
A lot of mushroom strains have been wholesaled recently, and there is even a shortage of supply. However, many ordinary people have already consumed vegetable oil, and at least they can eat some fried dishes every few days.
Although it still costs money to buy, it is much cheaper and more convenient than lard.
Seeing that the mushroom shop and oil press were on track, Su Hanchu began to think about how to increase the yield of grain seeds.
Jun Moye looked at the smile on her face from afar, walked towards her step by step, and put his arms around her.
"Chu Chu, what are you laughing at?"
Su Hanchu leaned in his arms and spoke happily.
"Just smile if you're happy, Jun Moye. I seem to see that our vegetable oil has enabled ordinary people to eat stir-fried dishes."
Jun Moye also had a proud smile on his face.
“This is all thanks to Chuchu…”
The two were chatting when Tao Zhiwen walked over from a distance.
"Sir, Lord Shen sent someone to ask you to go to the Shen family tomorrow to discuss something important."
