The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 427 Depressed Lu Jinkang ([-])

At the beginning of the day, the whole family was gathering in Mrs. Lu's He'an Hall. Taking advantage of the free time before dinner, they watched Su Yunduo try on some clothes on Jiji ceremony, but heard the second lady come to report, saying It was Lu Jinkang who came.

The old lady Lu was very surprised, she was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked someone to lead him in.

Lu Jinkang's father, Lu Da, hurried back to the capital after noon today. No matter what, the Zhen Guogong should have a reunion dinner together today. Lu Jinkang shouldn't be here anyway.

Logically, Su Yunduo should avoid it, but because Lu Jinkang is the grandnephew of Mrs. Lu, Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang have saved lives, and now they cooperate with Lu Jinkang in many businesses, so neither Mrs. Lu nor Mrs. Su Chengzhi and his wife want Su Yunduo to avoid him. The plan is to let Su Yunduo go to the Nuan Pavilion first to change the clothes he was trying on.

Lu Jinkang came very quickly, just as Su Yunduo turned out of the warm pavilion, he had already opened the door curtain and walked in with his head bowed.

I saw that although he had a smile on his face, there was a strong air and irritability in his expression, and the etiquette was not messy at all. He first greeted Mrs. Lu, then Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi, and also greeted Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi. The Yun Duo siblings clasped their fists together, and then sat down under Su Chengzhi.

"Have you had dinner yet?" The old lady Lu saw the gloomy look in Lu Jinkang's eyes at a glance, but she was not in a hurry to ask, she just looked at Lu Jinkang gently and asked.

Looking at the kind and concerned eyes of the old lady Shang Lu, Lu Jinkang's restless mood suddenly calmed down, the smile on his face deepened a little, and his words unconsciously brought out a bit of coquettishness: "Not yet, I don't know Can my aunt reward Zijian for a mouthful of hot rice?"

The old lady Lu took a look at Lu Jinkang and pretended to be angry: "You child, how do you talk?! You come to eat at my aunt's place, and it's too late for my aunt to be happy! What are you talking about?!"

Lu Jinkang quickly stood up and clasped his fists to the old lady Lu: "It's Zijian who can't speak, please forgive me, grandma."

After a few words, the gloom and irritability on Lu Jinkang's face were still there but disappeared a lot, and the smile on his brow and eyes became real.

Ning hurriedly ordered the meal to be served.

Although Su Yunduo didn't avoid it, but because of the presence of Lu Jinkang, even though today's dinner was served in He'an Hall, there were two seats, but they were not separated by a screen.

Because of the lively Su Zechen and the youngest Su Zerui, the meal was not boring as usual. Su Yunduo noticed that although Lu Jinkang did not eat much, it was not too little. "The tone faded a lot, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

While he was relieved, Su Yunduo's heart skipped a beat, what does Lu Jinkang have to do with him?

"Duo Duo, Duo Duo? Your child can be absorbed in eating! Do you want another bowl of soup?" Ning's concerned voice finally brought back Su Yunduo's mind, and when he raised his eyes, he met Lu Jinkang's concerned gaze.

Su Yunduo's face was inexplicably hot, and she quickly turned her gaze back to Ning's, smiled a little embarrassedly, and while motioning for Zisu to add some soup for herself, she said, "Suddenly remembered something."

"You child, what is more important than eating right now?" Mrs. Lu gave Su Yunduo a look and said with a smile.

Now Su Yunduo felt even more embarrassed, the sentence just now was just a casual excuse, luckily he didn't ask her what she remembered, otherwise she would have to tell a lie to make up for it.

After the meal was over, the maids vacated the table, brought tea and fruit, and chatted for a long time. Seeing that Lu Jinkang had no intention of leaving at all, Mrs. Lu thought that he must have something to say, so she glanced at Su Chengzhi .

Su Chengzhi hurriedly sent Su Zexuan and Su Zechen to the study to read.

Ning has practiced her eyesight after being with Mrs. Lu for the past few months. Seeing that Su Chengzhi sent the two children to read books, she also hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave Heantang and return to the main courtyard with the excuse of coaxing Su Zerui to sleep.

Before Ning's withdrawal, she wanted to take Su Yunduo away with her, but at this moment, Lu Jinkang was talking to Su Yunduo, so it was not good to take Su Yunduo away by force, so she looked at Old Madam Lu helplessly.

Mrs. Lu gave Ning a look and signaled her to go first.

Ning didn't say any more, hugged Su Zerui who was stuck in her arms due to sleepiness, and led a group of maids and women out of He'an Hall.

At this time, Lu Jinkang hung up the phone and told Su Yunduo about the things in Geshan Village: "I received a letter from Dr. Kong a few days ago, and the harvest of medicinal materials this year is even better than last year. The climate and landform on the side are very suitable for planting medicinal materials, so I plan to buy more land, continue to expand the cultivation of medicinal materials, and at the same time plant the required flowers."

If she hadn't come to the capital to recognize her ancestors, Su Yunduo would definitely develop her medicinal planting business in Geshan Village, but now she can only entrust the planting of medicinal materials to the old doctor.

Flowers are naturally grown in large quantities for the production of soaps, toiletries, and skin care products.

At the beginning, Su Yunduo just tried to make some, but the old doctor Kong saw the business opportunities, and insisted on leading his disciples and grandchildren to develop a series of products.

The batch of goods that came to the capital with the Ning family before were all sent to the palace. After using them, the empresses and princesses all felt very good. The second manager Yin added an order, but the order in the palace has exceeded the required quantity. With the current supply capacity, it is imminent to expand the planting varieties and area of ​​flowers.

Su Yunduo intends to plant flowers near the capital and open workshops for soap, bath products, and skin care products, but because the land price near the capital is too high, he has to temporarily shelve this plan.

She made a new plan, thinking that Dr. Kong could refine the medicinal materials and flowers needed to make soap, bath products, and skin care products into essential oils and send them to the capital, and then set up a workshop in the capital to make soap, bath products, and skin care products.

This plan is only a prototype at present, and there are a lot of things to consider. There are several key issues that are being investigated by Ning Zhongping, so Lu Jinkang does not know about this plan.

There are fewer people in Geshan Village and more mountains, the price of the mountains is low, and the climate is suitable for planting medicinal materials and flowers. Although it is a bit far away from the capital, and transportation is time-consuming and laborious, it is more appropriate to expand planting in Geshan Village after all considerations.

Of course, if Su Yunduo's plan can be implemented, it can save a lot of transportation costs.

Since the old doctor intends to expand the planting area, Su Yunduo naturally has nothing to ask for and will not have any objections: "Very good, but in this way, the burden on Master Kong will be even heavier. Will you and I help you in the capital? I'm not busy anymore. Did Master Kong say how much investment is needed?"
