The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.
Chapter 262 Utilization
Each family's flower shed was built right next to the water.
The spring breeze gently caressed the grass and purple flowers on the bank, and the weeping willows on the bank swayed gracefully in the breeze.
The wind caressed the lake, creating ripples.
Spring is so beautiful!
The most beautiful thing is not the scenery, but the people.
Gong Yu and Su Qianqian cooked together, their movements fluid and graceful.
Xuanyuan Jing assisted her, handing her plates and bowls. It was the first time she realized that good-looking people look good no matter what they do, even cooking is a pleasure to watch.
Su Qianqian smiled and invited, "Why don't you two Miss Xuanyuan stay for lunch with us?"
"No, no need, we have something to do, we'll be leaving now." Xuanyuan Jing originally wanted to stay by Miss Su's side, but he wasn't thick-skinned enough and didn't want to disturb their time together, so he wisely pulled Xuanyuan Yue away.
Murong Yan and Murong Changyu strolled along the shore of Bibo Lake, chatting as they walked.
Murong Changyu was very concerned about one question: "Sister, do you think that Miss Su, like you, is also from another world?"
The term "person from beyond the heavens" originated from the national advisor of the Nanyue Kingdom.
When Murong Yan was born, the Grand Preceptor of the Southern Yue Kingdom said that Murong Yan was a person from another world who could bring blessings to those around her. That's why the old emperor of the Southern Yue Kingdom betrothed Murong Yan to his most beloved son, the seventh prince Huangfu Yuan.
Murong Yan shook her head, "It shouldn't be, but we can't be completely sure yet. We need to continue to investigate and verify."
Murong Changyu: "Even if she wasn't a time traveler, she was still very strong. She single-handedly stopped the Prince of Huainan from heading north, and she was also very good at making money."
At the time, he heard that many merchants had made a fortune by purchasing goods from Qinghe County. He was passing by nearby, so he disguised himself and wanted to see for himself.
As a result, he was captured by the rebel army of the King of Huainan outside the city of Qinghe County.
In the nick of time, a little girl riding a white tiger suddenly appeared like a fairy and rescued him from the rebels.
After Murong Changyu was rescued, he ordered an investigation into the young lady Su.
They discovered that Miss Su was not only good at leading troops into battle, but also very good at making money, and had accumulated a lot of wealth.
If such a person could be used by the Murong family, the Murong family would surely rise to great heights in the future.
Moreover, he had unusual feelings for Miss Su, feelings that were hard to explain and were quite special. He felt that perhaps it was gratitude towards his savior.
Murong Yan said with a charming smile, "Third Brother, no matter how good that girl is at making money, she can't compare to us. Our Murong family's Treasure Pavilion has branches all over the four kingdoms, and the profits from the jewelry sold in the Treasure Pavilion are very high."
"Furthermore, our Murong family's banks and casinos are very profitable, and our large ships that went to sea will be returning soon. We're sure to make a fortune then."
In this era, seafaring was not yet common, so maritime transport was extremely profitable.
Scarcity drives up prices; new items bought overseas can fetch exorbitant prices here.
"Third Brother, that Miss Su is quite a formidable enemy of ours. We must find a way to deal with her, but we can't afford to break off relations right now. We can only use others to deal with her."
The marriage between Prince Gong and Miss Su was arranged by His Majesty.
If she can bring down Miss Su, then Prince Gong will be hers.
Things that are stolen are more interesting.
Murong Yan recalled the information she had gathered that this Miss Su was the granddaughter of Minister Luo. Since the real and fake heiresses were always enemies, the fake granddaughter in the Minister's mansion must want to kill the real one.
"Third Brother, let's go for a stroll outside the flower shed at Minister Luo's residence. With our status, there are plenty of people who want to curry favor with us."
Murong Changyu's ideas differed from Murong Yan's; he did not intend to use the Luo family's fake granddaughter to deal with Miss Su.
Instead, he wanted to see what kind of person that blind and mentally bankrupt Vice Minister Luo really was.
He couldn't understand why someone would dislike such a wonderful person as Miss Su.
The flower shed at Vice Minister Luo's residence was a simple four-cornered shed.
The decorative tents were ordinary tents, and the flowers were various wildflowers picked from the grass.
Minister Luo knew that it was too embarrassing for the flower shed to be built so simply, and he wanted to buy expensive flowers such as peonies to decorate it, but he couldn't get any.
I heard that most of the peonies were taken away by the Marquis of Guiping's mansion.
Luo Mingfang was cooking mushrooms outside the flower shed when she looked up and inadvertently saw the Murong siblings.
She had previously gone to watch the commotion outside the flower shed of the Marquis of Guiping's residence and overheard the conversation between the Murong siblings, the Xuanyuan sisters, and Su Qianqian, thus learning their identities.
Unexpectedly, the Murong siblings would pass by the Luo family's flower shed. If Grandfather knew that the two of them had come, he would surely be overjoyed.
Luo Mingfang quickly put down the spatula in her hand, ran into the flower shed, and said to Luo Shilang, who was brewing tea, "Grandfather, do you know who's outside? It's the eldest son of the Murong family, one of the five great families, and the Murong family's most beloved sixth young lady."
Vice Minister Luo was originally worried about money and was still saddened by the fact that he had been swindled out of 50,000 taels of silver by Scholar Fang.
Upon hearing that the Murong family had arrived, he immediately composed himself and stood up.
As the head of the five great families, the Murong family had mountains of gold and silver filling their halls, enough to last several generations.
Moreover, the five great families secretly maintained countless private armies, and even the emperor gave them face.
If they could establish a connection with the Murong family, the Luo family would undoubtedly enjoy wealth and prosperity.
Minister Luo personally went outside the flower shed and warmly exchanged pleasantries with the Murong siblings for a while.
Murong Changyu carefully examined Minister Luo and found that Minister Luo's clothes were very old, with worn-out cuffs and shoes, indicating that his household was very poor.
Even though Minister Luo is so poor, he still looks down on Miss Su's own granddaughter. He must have lost his mind.
Seeing Luo Shilang's obsequious and ingratiating expression, Murong Changyu looked down on him.
He still preferred someone like Miss Su, a proud person with a straight back who would never bow down to anyone.
Minister Luo invited the Murong siblings, saying, "Young Master Murong, Miss Murong, if you don't mind, you can stay here for a picnic."
Murong Yan was naturally reluctant, but she still politely accepted the invitation.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency. The mushrooms you cooked smell delicious."
Luo Mingfang followed the Murong siblings into the flower shed and personally poured tea for them.
Her eyes were glued to Murong Changyu.
The eldest son of the Murong family, the head of the five great families, is indeed extraordinary.
He was just as good-looking as Fang Xiucai, but more importantly, he was richer and had a higher social standing.
Any girl who marries Young Master Murong will surely enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.
Unfortunately, such a noble family would never be interested in her.
Murong Changyu was also staring at Luo Mingfang, thinking that Luo Mingfang was plain-looking and not very smart.
Since you have dark skin, you shouldn't choose a pink dress, as it will make you look even darker.
Murong Changyu couldn't understand why Minister Luo would give up such an outstanding biological granddaughter as Miss Su for such an insignificant fake granddaughter!
Luo Shilang is really a strange person! If it were his father, Murong Fu, he would definitely have taken his capable granddaughter home.
Murong Changyu held a large red peony in his hand, which he originally intended to give to Miss Su, but he did not have the courage at the time.
Now that he didn't want to keep it any longer, he casually handed it to Luo Mingfang and praised her, saying, "Miss Luo is so beautiful and charming that she is unforgettable."
If this were any other time, any man who dared to speak to a young woman like that would definitely be considered a lecher.
But today is the Flower Festival, so men and women can be informal and freely praise each other.
Murong Changyu has always been very well-mannered, and his words made Luo Mingfang feel very comfortable.
"Young Master Murong, you flatter me," Luo Mingfang said, only to realize that the teacup was overflowing. She quickly wiped the water off the table with a cloth, then wiped her hands on her new clothes before reaching out to accept the beautiful peony.
Luo Mingfang's face flushed red, and her heart skipped a beat.
She thought that Young Master Murong would never be interested in her, but she never expected that Young Master Murong's gaze would be so intense.
Having been heartbroken by love, she has begun to believe in love again.
Previously, when she saw Su Qianqian and Gong Yu standing together like a perfect couple in the flower shed of the Marquis of Guiping's residence, she was so jealous that she was almost going crazy.
Everything Su Qianqian possessed should have been hers. If the two old men in the Su family hadn't secretly switched the children, all of Su Qianqian's opportunities would be hers now.
But now, she has Young Master Murong.
Compared to Prince Gong, Young Master Murong was equally adept, and Luo Mingfang's heart was instantly filled with joy.
She didn't know that Young Master Murong wasn't looking at her.
Instead, the moment he saw her, he was reminded of Su Qianqian, and he became so engrossed in thinking about her.
As a result, Luo Mingfang thought that Murong Changyu was looking at her.
