Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 455 Buying a Bamboo Forest

Li Zheng waved his hand, "It's not worth much, and no one eats the bamboo shoots. You don't have to feel uneasy about chopping as much as you like."

"Then how?"

Lu Sheng shook his head, "If uncle doesn't want to bid, then I'd better go to the mountain and cut it. Although the bamboo on the mountain is far away, at least there is no owner, so I can feel at ease when I cut it."

Lizheng has helped her a lot, and she can't keep getting it for nothing.

"You girl, why are you so stubborn?"

Li is the first person who is not willing to take this kind of free offer.

Lu Sheng chuckled, looked at Lizheng and suggested, "Uncle, how about I give you five hundred taels, then buy me that piece of bamboo forest."

She remembered that the bamboo forest in Lizheng's house seemed to be quite big, no matter what, it was about ten acres.

"Five...ahem——"

Li Zheng almost choked to death on his own saliva.

Lu Sheng quickly patted him on the back, "Uncle, don't get excited, if you don't want to, you can directly refuse."

It took a while for Li to recover. He glared at Lu Sheng and said, "Five hundred taels, thanks to you girl who said it."

"what?"

Is it less?

Lu Sheng scratched her head, she had never bought a bamboo forest before, so she knew the price at all.

Li Zheng sighed softly, and asked helplessly, "Do you know how much Uncle spent to buy that bamboo forest?"

"I don't know!" Lu Sheng shook his head.

She really doesn't know.

"Six taels of silver. The bamboo forest has a total of ten mu. When my uncle bought it, it was six hundred taels of silver per mu."

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have sold it to Lu Sheng long ago.

"Huh? So cheap?"

Lu Sheng really didn't expect that the large bamboo forest was only six taels of silver.

"Six taels still think it's cheap?"

Li Zheng snorted coldly, "Well, if you want it, you can just give it to Uncle Liuliang, and the bamboo forest will be yours from now on."

Lu Sheng was overjoyed, "Then thank you uncle!"

There must be a lot of bamboo shoots in such a large bamboo forest. If you dig them all up to make sour bamboo shoots, and then take them to restaurants for processing, you will definitely be able to buy them for a lot of money.

Lu Sheng was not in a hurry to chop bamboo, and went home directly to get ten taels of silver for Li Zheng.

Li Zheng refused to accept it. He heard from Lu Sheng that there were only ten taels, so he asked Lu Sheng to give it to him when he had six taels.

Lu Sheng had no choice but to give him six taels of silver.

The next day, Lu Sheng and Li Zheng borrowed an ox cart and went to the Qingshui River to chop an ox cart of bamboo and came back.

On the way, I ran into villagers who had just returned from farming and were about to go home for lunch.

Seeing her pulling a cart full of bamboo, she hurriedly asked with a smile, "Yo, girl Sheng, are you going to inherit your father's craftsmanship?"

Not to mention Lu Dahua, as a bamboo craftsman, his weaving skills are still very famous in the village.

At least, there are no fewer than five bamboo craftsmen in the village, but most people still come to him because of his superb craftsmanship.

Lu Sheng smiled, neither admitting nor refuting.

This made everyone mistakenly think that she really wanted to inherit Lu Dahua's craftsmanship.

Someone even joked: "Gaie will weave two food baskets for my aunt tomorrow, and my aunt's food baskets are all moldy."

Some people also said: "Is Miss Sheng short of your copper coins now? Let me see, is this bamboo useful for chopping it back?"

"Use it for a fence."

Lu Sheng explained casually, and said to a group of people: "Please make way, uncles and aunts, I'm in a hurry."

When everyone heard the words, they hurriedly retreated to both sides of the road and let her drive there first.

When she walked a little farther, everyone sighed and said: "I thought that once Lu Dahua and Mrs. Liu entered, this Lu family would be almost finished, but I didn't expect that life would get better and better."

"Isn't it?" Someone said with emotion: "Before, Ran boy was with Sun Hu and the others, and Sheng girl was shy. Who knows, once those two entered, everyone became capable, and they were still in town. I bought a yard and opened a restaurant."

They don't even have the money to build a decent tile house, but others have already bought a house in the town.

But in just half a year, the gap between the Lu family and them really widened.

Someone guessed: "I looked at it, these two children must be sick of Mrs. Liu, have they been hiding their temper?"

"possible!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng, who was following behind the crowd, said disdainfully: "If it wasn't for that girl's fate to have such a fiancé as Mrs. Chu, would their family be where they are today?"

After seeing Lu Sheng's methods, although the Zheng family and Lu Daming's family were jealous of Lu Sheng, they did not dare to provoke her again.

Now that Lu Sheng's family is getting better and better, she feels so sad now.

"makes sense!"

When everyone heard what she said, they all felt that it was very reasonable.

The Chu Mansion in Huangyang Town is well-known for having a big family and a big business.

Master Chu is also Lu Sheng's fiancé, so it's normal for her to buy her a yard and open a restaurant.

The sour people, besides the Zheng family, also belong to the Duan family.

But for the sake of Duan Zhen's official career, they don't dare to arrange Lu Sheng casually now, they only dare to secretly curse Lu Sheng every time.

"From the Daming family, your girl Wei is also of marriageable age, haven't you found someone yet?"

Someone asked Zheng Shi a lot.

Zheng's face changed, and she said with a dry smile: "Not yet, I went to Zheng's Village with her grandmother a few days ago."

Lu Wei yearns for Duan Zhen. She thought that if Lu Sheng and the Duan family divorced, her daughter would have a chance.

Unexpectedly, even without Lu Sheng, the Duan family would still look down on Lu Wei.

She had reminded Duan Zhen's mother Ma Shi several times overtly and secretly, but Ma Shi always falsely praised Lu Wei as a good girl and said that she would definitely marry a good man in the future.

No matter how stupid Mrs. Zheng is, she also knows that Mrs. Ma is looking down on her daughter.

"I remember she is three months older than girl Sheng, right?"

Ma said with a smirk: "It's time to find someone else. I looked around Miss Sheng. It seems that there are a few noble young masters who often come with Master Chu and the others. There are also two of them around Ran. Why don't you go?" Ask Miss Sheng to intercede, and ask her to tell Girl Wei?"

She just suggested it casually, but she didn't think that Mrs. Zheng really took it to heart.

You know, anyone around Chu Sihan is much stronger than Duan Zhen.

Her eyes dimmed, and she already had an idea in her heart.

Here, after Lu Sheng unloaded the bamboo, he was sitting in the yard drinking a few sips of water.

Just as she got up and was about to make lunch, she saw Mrs. Zheng walking in with a "benevolent look" carrying a basket.

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked in a blunt tone: "Are you okay?"

"Ha ha--"

Mrs. Zheng laughed dryly, put the basket on the table under the tree, looked at Lu Sheng flatteringly and said, "Auntie's house has laid a lot of eggs recently, so I brought some for you."

Without waiting for Lu Sheng to ask, she continued: "Auntie knows that it was Auntie who was wrong in the past and made you feel unhappy. Auntie came here today to apologize to you. Our family should be kind. You say yes no?"

Lu Sheng sneered, leaned against the big tree with his arms folded, looked at her with a half smile and asked, "Did the sun come out from the west this morning?"

Zheng Shi talked to her in such a soft voice, to be honest, it was a little creepy.

"Auntie is here to admit your mistake, there is no other meaning."

Zheng Shi smiled guiltyly, but her eyeballs kept rolling around.

Lu Sheng sneered, "Tell me quickly, I still have things to do."

Mrs. Zheng frowned, but quickly recovered her expression, "Look at what you said, what can Auntie do for you?"

"Let's go if it's okay, I have something else to do."

As Lu Sheng said, he stood up straight and was about to enter the kitchen, but was held back by Mrs. Zheng.

Lu Sheng glanced coldly at her hand holding his clothes, and Zheng Shi hurriedly let go of it in fright.

"Cough—well, my aunt is here today, and I actually want to ask you for a favor."

"Oh?"

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I don't know, what's the matter?"

Zheng's heart was overjoyed, "Xiao Sheng, look, you already have a fiancé, and you are still an adult, but your sister Wei's marriage has never been settled..."

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, "So?"

"Auntie sees that Mr. Chu is often accompanied by two young masters. They must not have married wives yet, right? See if you can..."

Lu Sheng laughed directly.

She looked at Zheng Shi and said, "Why do you think that those two young masters will fall in love with Lu Wei?"

Not to mention the identities of Yu Mingyue and Fu Sisi, but in terms of appearance alone, Lu Wei is not as good as them.

"Your sister Wei'er is not bad, is she? The skin is not dark, why do they look down on you?"

Zheng Shi had also seen Yun Ting and Shi Yi from a distance, and he only knew that they were of good height, but they hadn't seen their appearance up close.

"Don't dream, everyone has a fiancee, one is the daughter of the Prime Minister of the capital, and the other is a girl from our Yufu in Huangyang Town, why does Auntie think they will fall in love with Lu Wei?"

Zheng raised her head suddenly, and the sneer at the corner of Lu Sheng's lips made her feel ashamed.

She originally thought that those two were just ordinary sons, but who knew that their fiancées were all very important people.

From this point of view, the identities of the two sons must not be much different.

"Take your things away, I will spare you today, don't forget what I said."

Lu Sheng's warning reminded Mrs. Zheng of the scene when she was beaten by Lu Sheng before, she hurriedly picked up the blue clothes and left in a hurry.

Lu Sheng watched her leave coldly, and then went into the kitchen to make lunch.

After lunch, she went to cut a cart full of bamboo poles, and spread all the bamboo poles in the yard to dry.

The recent sun has been a bit strong, and the bamboo poles have basically changed color after only three days in the sun.

Lu Sheng built a shed next to the kitchen, and started sowing watermelon seeds.

On this day, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian came again, saying they wanted to eat crayfish.

Lu Sheng didn't hold back, crayfish multiplied quickly, and she was thinking about raising crayfish in her own field that no one planted in the past two days.

She asked Lu Zhou and Shangguandian to fish for crayfish, while she caught river crabs herself.

As soon as the meal was ready, Chu Sihan, Shi Yi, and Yun Ting and his party came.

This time, besides the three of them, there were two more beauties, Fu Sisi and Yu Mingyue.

This Lu family often has a carriage parked outside the door, and everyone in the village is no stranger to it.

In the past few days, the things planted before have begun to sprout. Seeing them walking around, Lu Sheng hastily reminded:

"You appreciate it, but don't step on my things."

Almost all of her treasures that made her fortune are here.

"Miss Lu, what kind of things are growing in that shed?"

Yu Mingyue pointed to the watermelon shed and asked.

"I planted something delicious."

Lu Sheng smiled and winked at her.

Yu Mingyue smiled, and when she turned her head, she found that Shi Yi was looking at her with a smile.

She blushed slightly, and hurriedly went to play with Fu Sisi again.

Lu Zhou and Shangguandian glared at the group of them with resentment on their faces.

"Third Prince, Mr. Shangguan, you... what's wrong?"

When Shi Yi was stared at by the cool eyes of the two, his heart was somewhat trembling.

"Humph--"

Lu Zhou snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Shi Yi was taken aback for a moment, he looked at Yun Ting, then at Chu Sihan, with a confused look on his face, not knowing where he had offended Lu Zhou.

Chu Sihan pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

Shangguandian resentfully said: "If you come later, we can have dinner."

It's all right now, he still has to add more food, and he has to wait for a long time, he feels hungry.

The reason for saying "feeling" is because he has passed the fasting period, and he will not feel hungry, so he will say that he feels hungry.

"Uh... because of this?"

The corner of Shi Yi's mouth twitched slightly, he never expected that Lu Zhou and Shangguandian would blame them for this.

Shangguan Dian said: "You can't eat that crayfish in a while, it belongs to both of us."

"That won't work!"

Shi Yi was the first to protest.

Why did they come here early in the morning, not for the crayfish?

Shangguandian shrugged, "We caught it, if you want to eat it, go catch it yourself."

Shi Yi chuckled, he had already made up his mind.

Seeing him walking towards the kitchen, Lu Zhou immediately gave Shangguandian a wink, Shangguandian understood, and pulled Shi Yi back directly.

"What do you want to do?"

Shi Yi struggled and said: "Nothing, I'll go see what delicious food Miss Lu has made."

"Don't think I don't know that you want to eat crayfish secretly. I advise you to sit back obediently, otherwise, you won't even want to eat other dishes today."

Shi Yi who was warned was so angry that he screamed, but he still couldn't break free from Shangguandian's restraint.

Fu Sisi and Yu Mingyue watched from the side, one laughed out loud while the other covered her mouth and snickered.

Lu Sheng looked outside angrily, and shook his head helplessly.

Of course, after the final dish was served, everyone had a share of the crayfish, but Lu Zhou and Shangguandian ate less.

After eating and drinking, all the people gathered under the big tree to drink tea.

The passing villagers looked inside from time to time, but no one dared to come in.

"Master, you entertain everyone first, and disciples go and leave first."

"I go with you."

Chu Sihan got up, nodded slightly to them, and then walked to Lu Sheng's side.

Lu Zhou glanced at the two of them, nodded and said softly, "Go, go early and return early."

Chu Sihan followed Lu Sheng and went to several houses. From the conversations between Lu Sheng and those people, he learned that Lu Sheng wanted to dig a pond.

On the way back, Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you dig the pond to raise that crayfish?"

"Um!"

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded, "If possible, I would like to build a breeding farm."

"Farm?"

Chu Sihan pondered for a while, then said in a low voice: "Chu's mansion has a village nearby, and there is a big pond there, which was used to raise fish before, but now it is no longer raised, the pond is still not dry, and there are still some fish in it. fish."
