Lu Yun was just getting tired of writing in the palace every day, but when she heard Lu Xingzhou ask this, she agreed without hesitation.
Lu Xingzhou nodded and was about to go back home, but he saw Lu Yun pitifully pulling at his sleeve.
"So tomorrow, will it be just the three of us going together?"
Lu Xingzhou was puzzled, "Who else do you want to ask?"
Lu Yun's face flushed red, and she didn't dare look directly at Lu Xingzhou. She was silent for a long time, but finally didn't say anything.
Lu Xingzhou did not press the issue and turned back home.
Lu Yun sent a message to Chen Liyue, and the next day, Chen Liyue took Lian Dong and the fishing boat out.
Because Shen Liyue didn't know where Lu Xingzhou's manor was, Lu Xingzhou and Lu Yun came to pick her up.
Taking into account the differences between men and women, Lu Xingzhou gave the carriage to them and rode his horse to protect the side of the carriage.
They were taking the official road, so the journey wasn't too bumpy. Shen Liyue and Lu Yun chatted and laughed, and it felt like they arrived in the blink of an eye.
When they arrived at the gate of the village, the carriage stopped.
Lu Xingzhou had already dismounted and was waiting in front of the carriage. Lu Yun came out first, took the back of Lu Xingzhou's hand and jumped out of the carriage. Lu Xingzhou then turned around to pick up Chen Liyue.
Chen Liyue saw the hand stretched out in front of her. The fingers of that hand were slender and the joints were distinct. Chen Liyue hesitated for a moment, but when she saw Lu Yun was already waiting for her downstairs, she didn't hesitate at all. She gently placed her handkerchief on Lu Xingzhou's hand and slowly walked down from the carriage.
After just a brief moment, Shen Liyue retracted the handkerchief.
Lu Xingzhou calmly withdrew his arm. The place where the handkerchief had just scratched felt itchy, as if it had scratched his heart.
There was no sign of it on his face. He made a "please" gesture and led the two into the farm.
As soon as she entered the manor, Shen Liyue was attracted by the large patch of weeping crabapples in front of her.
The crabapple has no fragrance, but it wins in appearance.
The hanging silk of crabapple is as beautiful as fine snow, and the slender silk threads hang down just right. The light pink flowers are like the beauty of a young girl, soft and delicate.
"What a beautiful crabapple!" Lu Yun was also attracted and couldn't help but admire it.
Chen Liyue stood under the crabapple tree, looked back and smiled, "Spring works with leaves and silk, I am afraid that the sun will find the wind too strong to hold itself back."
“It is indeed very beautiful.”
Who is it that I am looking in the mirror for in the morning? The traces of rouge are still there.
Lu Xingzhou responded silently in his heart, and when he looked at Shen Liyue, he felt that she was more beautiful than flowers.
The deeper she went into the village, the more Shen Liyue realized that it was bigger than she had imagined.
"The other day I heard the prince say that he wanted to turn this place into a teahouse?" Shen Liyue asked.
"It's just an idea." Lu Xingzhou said, "What do you think, Miss Shen?"
"I think it's a shame to use such a large farm only as a tea house."
"I'd like to hear more about it."
"I see that this place has winding paths leading to secluded places, and every step is filled with beautiful scenery. How about turning this place into an inn, with the front yard as a teahouse and the backyard as guest rooms? This way, people who come to enjoy the scenery can rest. What do you think, Your Highness?"
"I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people." Lu Xingzhou murmured.
"That's fine." Shen Liyue smiled slyly, "We're not doing ordinary business."
Lu Xingzhou seemed to be flattered by Chen Liyue's word "we".
"Then?" Lu Xingzhou expressed doubt.
"Things are valuable because they are rare. What we want is quality and fewness. If everyone can come, then what's so rare about it?"
Lu Xingzhou understood what Shen Liyue said without her having to finish. He couldn't help but smile and nodded.
"That's a good idea."
Lu Yun on the side didn't understand, so Shen Liyue patiently explained to her.
After listening to Shen Liyue's explanation, Lu Yun finally understood.
"What if guests come and there are not enough rooms?" Lu Yun was a little curious.
"So, anyone who wants to stay at our manor must make a reservation in advance."
Lu Yun was about to ask what reservation meant when he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves outside the door. Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Du Ruoheng.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Du Ruoheng bowed and said, "I'll treat you all to lunch today. I apologize."
Du Ruoheng is Lu Xingzhou's best friend, so she is not shy with him.
Shen Liyue wanted to say no, but seeing that Lu Xingzhou didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either.
It was Lu Yun who spoke up: "No... no need." She pointed at Lu Xingzhou and said, "Ask the emperor to treat you. The emperor has money..."
Shen Liyue couldn't help but burst out laughing. Lu Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Yun playfully.
I wanted to make a joke, but I was afraid that Miss Lu Yun would be embarrassed, so I agreed readily.
It just so happened that they had almost finished discussing the matters concerning the farm. There were only a few places that needed to be modified. Once Lu Xingzhou found someone to do the construction, the farm could be opened for business.
The four of them went to the largest restaurant in Wangjing City for dinner and made an appointment to go there together on the day the manor opened.
"By the way, Zhuangzi's name hasn't been decided yet!" Lu Yun suddenly remembered.
Everyone looked at Lu Xingzhou, but Lu Xingzhou looked at Shen Liyue.
Shen Liyue felt embarrassed when he stared at her. This was Lu Xingzhou's manor, how could he call her by her name?
Seeing that Shen Liyue was silent, Lu Xingzhou said, "Since this manor is under the management of Miss Shen, then everything will be done according to Miss Shen's orders."
Shen Liyue pondered for a moment and stopped refusing.
"Spring has a hundred flowers, autumn has the moon, summer has a cool breeze, and winter has snow. The scenery of each season is different and each has its own charm. Why not use the word 'four seasons'?"
Lu Xingzhou nodded, "How about calling it Four Seasons Elegant Garden?"
The others naturally had no objections. Lu Xingzhou seemed to have remembered something and turned to ask Shen Liyue, "Since it's being handed over to Miss Shen to manage, how about a 20/80 split?"
Chen Liyue nodded, "Very good, I'm second, and the prince is eighth."
Lu Xingzhou shook his head, "I am second, Miss Shen is eighth."
Shen Liyue thought to herself: I’m going to get rich.
But he still wanted to decline, but Lu Xingzhou interrupted, "Miss Shen, there is no need to decline."
"I've just opened a farm, and I'll leave all the management matters to Miss Shen. I'll have to trouble Miss Shen more in the future."
After the meal, everyone dispersed.
Shen Liyue returned to the room in a good mood.
Once Si Shi Ya Yuan is officially operational, the monthly dividends will be quite substantial.
Just think about it, you will soon become a rich woman!
Shen Liyue suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she had never heard of Prince Yi getting married until her death.
She suddenly became curious about what kind of lady could catch King Yi's eye.
Thinking of Lu Xingzhou, he was tall and handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and facial features as clear as if carved by a knife. It was rare in the world to find a man who looked like this.
I don’t know how many young girls have dreamt of him.
Shen Liyue shook her head and suppressed the thought.
God gave her the chance to live again, but not for her to indulge in her children's love affairs.
My goal now is to make money, lots of money, enough to support my parents, my brother and sister-in-law!
Thinking of her sister-in-law, Shen Liyue suddenly felt a little sad.
My sister-in-law was a very good person, but in her previous life, because the Shen family was ransacked, she could not escape the fate of becoming a court prostitute. However, she refused to obey and eventually hanged herself.
In this life, Shen Liyue must never let the Shen family repeat the tragedy of the previous life.
