Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 456 How about cooperation?

Back on the official road, the coachman quickly brought the horse over.

The condition of the official road is not bad, except for some broken branches scattered on the ground, the road is still the same.

When asked by Lu Yuancheng, the driver also said that apart from the strong earthquake and the restlessness of the oxen and horses pulling the cart, there were no casualties.

There were no casualties. This was the answer Lu Yuancheng wanted to hear most.

Wen Shu also breathed a sigh of relief. The official roads were not affected much, so the capital city far away should not be seriously affected.

When the carriage set off again, the sun had already set, the night gradually opened, and there was silence in the carriage.

The two people in the car sat opposite each other, each in silence. The scene was strange and harmonious.

Lu Yuancheng was still thinking about what happened just now. He remembered that there was no earthquake near Hou Jingcheng in his previous life.

Otherwise he wouldn't remember it.

So why did it happen in this life?
Lu Yuancheng couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he thought that all the changes in this life were related to Wen Shu.

Could this matter have something to do with her? !

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the other party.

At this time, Wen Shu was thinking about the mine.

She had scanned it carefully with the system just now. It turned out that there was a large stream on the top of the mountain wall, and the two jade mines under the valley were the continuation of the jade mines above.

There are lush trees near Daxi, and few stones are exposed on the surface, but there are various stones of different sizes and colors hidden at the bottom of the stream.

The best thing is that most of the stones inside contain jade, mostly jade, which is of high quality.Then there are topaz and sapphire, and finally a little bit of blood jade and purple jade.

If this mine can be developed, it will definitely make a lot of money!It's the labor and transportation here that are difficult.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt eyes on her face. She couldn't help but look up and saw that it was Lu Yuancheng looking at her.

"Sir? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing." Lu Yuancheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the black stone at her feet, "I just wanted to ask you why you brought this stone into the car?"

Earthquakes are natural disasters that cannot be caused by human intervention, so they should have little to do with her.

However, why does she appear in every change? What is the connection between them?
Wen Shu didn't believe it was this stone he was curious about. The look he had just looked at was clearly scrutinizing.

Was it too aggressive before?

She kicked the stone beside her feet and said in a relaxed tone: "Take it back and sell it for money. Let shopkeeper Shan give you a price later. If it suits you, sell it to Li Ji."

"Oh, there's jade here too, what a coincidence."

Lu Yuancheng's lowered eyes suddenly raised again.

Wen Shu chuckled, "Yeah, I didn't expect this shitty luck, so it's not in vain."

"Why don't you want to enter the palace?" After a moment of silence, Lu Yuancheng said coldly.

The topic turned unexpectedly.

Wen Shu was stunned for a moment and then said: "Does everyone know?"

"This is not a secret. You can find out if you ask a little bit."

Lu Yuancheng leaned back, looking leisurely, "I heard that you rejected the official's "good offer" and was sent to Xuanqing Temple to practice Qing Dynasty."

Hey, with your attitude, I have every reason to suspect that you are gloating about your misfortune.

"Your Excellency is well-informed." Wen Shu's tone was unclear, with a bit of yin and yang aura.

Lu Yuancheng didn't care and teased: "Young lady has a sweetheart?"

"Who said that?" Wen Shu raised an eyebrow.

"If you don't have a sweetheart, how can you refuse this wealth and go to Qingxiu?"

Wen Shu rolled his eyes inwardly, but his face remained calm, "Being a caged bird in a deep palace means you are rich?!"

"In the eyes of this young lady, what is wealth?"

"Of course." Wen Shu opened the car curtain and looked at Bianliang City in the distance.The night has begun, and the lights of Bianliang City are coming over, like shining stars in the dark night.

"Of course, if you have money and leisure, you can go out when you want, do whatever you want, and do whatever you want without being restrained."

Lu Yuancheng was silent. After a moment, he suddenly leaned forward.

As soon as Wen Shu lowered the car curtain and turned around, he saw a big face approaching him, and his heart almost stopped in fear!
"My lord."

Wen Shu secretly held the hands under his sleeves.

If he dared to do anything rude, she would crush him with one punch!

"How about we cooperate?"

Perhaps realizing that this was inappropriate, Lu Yuancheng moved back a little after finishing these words.

But the distance between them still exceeded the normal social distance.

"How to cooperate?"

Finding that the other party's voice was much softer, Wen Shu unconsciously lowered her voice.

"If you want, we can pretend to get married."

What? !Wen Shu was shocked. This was a path she had never imagined.

Let's not talk about Lu Yuancheng's intentions, nor the difference in status between the two, let's just talk about how much better the Marquis Mansion is than the palace compound.

"Sir, are you joking?" Wen Shu took a deep breath and said, "Once I enter the Marquis's house, it's as deep as the sea. I don't want to be a caged bird in the palace, so how can I be willing to be a canary in the Marquis's mansion?"

Lu Yuancheng didn't panic at all, "The cage in the palace is closed, but the cage in the Marquis Mansion is not. You can come in and out at will, so it is not a cage."

Is there such a good thing in the world?Wen Shu expressed doubts.

She raised a series of issues such as foreign affairs, interpersonal relationships, relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, etc.

Final conclusion: Getting married is very troublesome, she might as well go to Qingxiu to be more comfortable.

"If you get married to me, you can take control of the Hou family if you want, and if you don't want to, the Hou family will continue to take care of it. If you don't want to pay attention to the exchange of favors, the Hou family will be happy to continue to take care of it, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not be worried. She It’s not that your serious mother-in-law dares to interfere with you.”

In response to her questions, Lu Yuancheng gave solutions one by one.

When Wen Shu heard this, he was somewhat moved.

But what good will this matter do to Mr. Lu?

She didn't believe in the cake falling from the sky.

With this in mind, she also asked.

Lu Yuancheng felt that there was nothing to say. Since he wanted to cooperate, he had to be sincere first.

Then, Wen Shu knew that Mr. Lu was also "forced" to get married!
The other party is still a princess.

Even though she knew that the prince-in-law of the Song Dynasty had no real power and could not hold important positions, she couldn't help but joke: "Isn't Princess Shang good? Even with all this wealth, there is still a young lady who is happy."

Perhaps her expression of gloating was too obvious, so Lu Yuancheng actually rolled his eyes in front of her, and then sighed: "Like you, I don't have this ambition."

"Oh," Wen Shu drawled, "So, this is why Mr. Lu wants to cooperate with me."

Lu Yuancheng nodded,

Although he was willing to give jade to others, he still wanted to calm the princess's heart, so he refused this errand from Princess Shang.

But whether Princess Roufu will let her go in the end is beyond his control, and this is a way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

He has no family, so the marriage cannot be clean.

Wen Shu thought carefully for a moment and said, "I'll think about it."

Although Mr. Lu described this marriage as "happy", after getting married, after all, he would not be as comfortable as being alone, and there would always be more ties.

Not to mention that it is not as convenient as before to enter and exit the mountain and sea world, even those face-saving skills require a lot of time and energy to deal with.
