Chapter 341 Shen Luoxue informs
At night, Qian Zexi saw Lihua saying that Shen Luoxue had cooked her favorite food, so she came to Shen Luoxue's yard.
After all, Qian Zexi had just married Shen Luoxue, and the novelty was taking over him. In addition, Shen Luoxue was the daughter of the Northwest General Prefecture, so Qian Zexi had to give her some respect.
Shen Luoxue virtuously served soup to Qian Zexi.
"My lord, this is the mushroom chicken soup I personally cooked today. It's fresh and not greasy. Please try it, my lord."
Seeing Shen Luoxue being so considerate, Qian Zexi reached out to take the soup with an appreciative look on his face.
"I never thought a delicate young lady like you could actually cook soup yourself. It's a blessing for me to have such a wife. Did Madam give you any trouble today?"
Seeing this, Lihua on the side immediately spoke up at the right time.
"Sir, you have to make the decision for my young lady. Madam sent someone to call her to behave herself early in the morning. She respectfully offered her tea, but Madam said the tea was too hot. She made her kneel for an hour holding the scalding water, until her knees bled. She was still worried about how hard your job was, and wanted to personally make soup for you..."
Seeing that Lihua had almost finished speaking, Shen Luoxue looked anxious and interrupted her.
"Shut up, girl, you're such a talker! I'm just a new concubine. Madam is upset, and if she says a few more words about me and punishes me, her anger will subside. Why are you saying that and upsetting Madam? Why don't you just get out and get punished?"
Seeing this, Lihua knelt down with tears on her face.
"Sir, our young lady's family is far away in the northwest. Even though she was raised in the palm of our master's hand since she was a child, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and her family can't care about her. I grew up with the young lady since she was a child. In my heart, I have already regarded the young lady as a relative.
I only hope that you will take care of my young lady because she is devoted to you. Otherwise, if my master knew that my young lady had been wronged in the imperial city, he would be heartbroken too."
Qian Zexi had already put down the soup in his hand and reached out to hold Shen Luoxue's hand.
"Since you've been wronged, why didn't you tell me? Didn't I tell you? You're not just an ordinary concubine. When you give birth to our child, I'll make you my equal wife, and you'll be on equal footing with my wife."
But he saw a red mark on Shen Luoxue's hand.
Shen Luoxue also cried out in pain at the right time.
"ah………"
Seeing this, Qian Zexi frowned and spoke hurriedly.
"How did you get this injury on your hand?"
Shen Luoxue quickly pulled her hand back.
"Don't worry, my lord. It's just a minor burn. It's all because I was spoiled by my wife. This is my first time cooking soup, so I'm a little unskilled. I will practice more in the future."
Qian Zexi was moved after hearing this. He looked at Lihua who was still kneeling and spoke.
"Why don't you go get some burn medicine and apply it to your young lady? I'll tell my wife not to embarrass your young lady in the future."
After hearing this, Lihua kowtowed and stood up quickly.
"Yes, thank you, sir."
Shen Luoxue personally picked up the soup bowl on the table.
"Sir, Lihua has already applied medicine to me once. Many things are often done rashly for the first time, and it's my own fault for not being careful. But as for today's soup, sir, you should drink more, so that all my hard work will be worthwhile."
The soup was fed to his mouth, so Qian Zexi naturally opened his mouth.
"Sure enough, Luoxue is not only beautiful, but also skillful. I had soup like this when I was in the northwest."
Shen Luoxue smiled and filled another spoonful.
"My lord, you didn't stay in the Northwest for long the last time because of your duties. So you don't know that this mushroom chicken soup is a specialty of our Northwest. This is all thanks to Master Jun and Madam Jun. These mushrooms have improved the lives of so many people in the Northwest. Moreover, fresh mushrooms can be grown all year round. Whether you use them to make chicken soup or bone soup, the taste is excellent."
Qian Zexi reached out and took the bowl directly, speaking with some confusion.
"Mr. Jun?"
Shen Luoxue continued with a smile on her face.
"Yes, it's said that Master Jun's family also came to the northwest from the Imperial City. When they first arrived in the northwest, they were very poor. Later, they invented mushroom cultivation. Then they opened a restaurant, and their lives got better and better. They also told all the people in the northwest about this mushroom cultivation method, which improved their lives. In the eyes of the people, the Jun family is like their reborn parents."
Qian Zexi always felt that he seemed to have missed some important news when he was in the northwest, so he put down the bowl in his hand.
"What's this young master's name?"
Shen Luoxue felt a little more at ease when she saw his question, and her expression remained innocent as she spoke.
"I think his name is Jun Moye, and his wife is Su Hanchu. They're both very capable. They even taught the people in the northwest to raise rice fish and sell something called a curved plow, which allows people to plow the land without cows. It's just that people's brains are different. We're both women, but I can't think of such bizarre things."
"Jun Moye, Su Hanchu..." Qian Zexi murmured. Although it had been a few years, he still remembered clearly that the prince of the Prince of Qin's Mansion was called Jun Moye. He remembered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince of Rui had visited him on their way to exile. This man actually survived and made it to the northwest. It seemed that he was living a good life now.
Seeing his deep gaze, Shen Luoxue asked cautiously.
"Sir, what's wrong? But do you also know this Mr. Jun?"
Qian Zexi came back to his senses after hearing this and spoke.
"Not just knowing each other, but being somewhat familiar with each other. Is Jun Moye doing well in the Northwest?"
Shen Luoxue showed an envious look on her face after hearing this.
"Of course not. Who wouldn't envy the life of the Jun family in the Northwest? Their wealth is more than enough for generations to enjoy and spend, and they are deeply loved by the people. I heard that Young Master Jun was also involved in the Northwest War. My lord, didn't you hear about it in the Northwest?"
Qian Zexi became even more confused after hearing this.
"He actually joined the war. Why didn't I hear any news about him when I arrived in the northwest?"
Shen Luoxue listened with a puzzled look on her face.
"This is also what I find strange. I heard from the maids at home that when the news of the victory in the northwest war first came out, they all praised Young Master Jun's military prowess and Madam Jun's bravery. But later, for some reason, they all praised General Li and Madam Li. After that, it seemed that Young Master Jun and his family never appeared on the battlefield."
It seems that Jun Moye had made great contributions, but was worried that the emperor would be wary of him, so he disappeared after the war. Indeed, it is a great blessing that the Prince Qin's Mansion is still alive.
"Luoxue, do you know any news about them?"
Shen Luoxue shook her head slightly after hearing this.
"I've been in my hometown for a while, and I'm afraid that Madam Qiu, who lives beside me, knows more about Mr. Jun. After all, Madam Qiu's family is in the northwest. But Madam Qiu is currently in the suburbs taking care of Tongtong for me. If there's anything else you want to know, why don't I go back to the suburban house tomorrow and ask Madam Qiu?"
