A flash of suspicion flashed across his eyes. The Lou Zhuxin he saw today seemed to have a different temperament than what he had heard before...

Chapter 2(1)

The two of them came out of the forest and stopped at a fork in the road. They were surrounded by deserted hills. There was no one in sight and no one to ask.

"Take the left path."

When he heard what Lu Wanfeng said, Han Zhaocai rolled his eyes and pointed to the right, "I think it's the right way to go."

"The left side is the right one." Lu Wanfeng insisted.

Han Zhaocai didn't fight with him, and nodded and said, "How about this, you take the left one, and I'll take the right one." In this way, she could take the opportunity to get rid of him.

"Both of us are going back to Suyuncheng, why should we leave separately, let alone a girl like you..."

She raised her hand to interrupt him, "Since we have chosen different paths, why don't we go separate ways? There is a saying that says different people don't work together. Although I am a girl, I have a way to rescue you from the water and teach you how to distinguish lotus mist. I have a way to go back on your own, so don't worry about me."

She grew up in Xinghua Village, and often ran all over the mountains next to the village. She knew better than him about surviving in the wilderness.On the contrary, as a young master, it might not be easy for him to get out of here safely. He should worry about himself.

Lu Wanfeng corrected her with a cold face, "That's not how that sentence is used."

"What?"

"Those who are different do not work together, that's not how it works."

"Really?" She touched her nose and smiled.From the age of six to ten, she studied with her eldest brother and second brother in the clan school.Originally, her mother refused to send her to go to clan school, but later she went to ask her eldest uncle and his mother-in-law, who were the village chiefs. They had five sons in a row, and they loved her only niece very much. She acted like a spoiled child and agreed to her, and even persuaded her mother on her behalf. Her father did not object, so she studied with her eldest brother and second brother in clan school for five years. Reading and literacy were no problem.

However, she, like her second brother, had a headache as soon as she read the Four Books and Five Classics taught by her master. However, she did surprisingly well in arithmetic, and even her master praised her.

I don’t know if it has something to do with her name. She has liked to do things that can make money since she was a child.

When she was about eight years old, because she loved eating mulberries, all the wild mulberries on the mountain were picked that year, so she asked her father to plant a few mulberry trees in her field.

Her father always loved her, so he planted about twenty mulberry seedlings in an acre of dry land, and then the mulberries became full of fruits. She and her mother picked the mulberries and made mulberry jam, which they sold at the market during the market.

Later, a woman came to pick mulberry leaves from her house and was caught by her and her father. The woman said that the mulberry trees in their village were sick and all died. Her silkworms had no mulberry leaves to eat. She heard that there were mulberry trees in Xinghua Village, so she came to pick them and begged them to let him go.

In exchange, she asked the woman to teach her how to raise silkworms so that she could pick mulberry leaves at any time. The woman agreed.

After she went to the woman's house to learn, she came back and taught her mother and her uncle's wife, and the two families started raising silkworms. Two or three years later, her family and her uncle's family were able to earn one or two hundred taels of silver a year from raising silkworms. Seeing this, other people in the village began to raise silkworms.

During this period, she discovered that wealthy families in the county liked to appreciate orchids, so she and her second brother went to the mountains to find some rare orchids and cultivate them. After they were cultivated, they were sent to the city for sale.

The price of an orchid can sometimes be worth several taels of silver if it is good. Over the course of a year, you can often earn dozens of taels. When people in the village saw it, they began to go up the mountain to look for orchids to sell.

Later, she saw that those wealthy families liked elegance, so she came up with an idea to plant several kinds of flowers and plants in pots, find a few strange stones, or make small houses, bridges, and chairs inside to create a small garden.

She and her second brother first tried making a few and sold them in the city. They were all bought on the same day, making fifteen taels of silver. After that, others in the village began to imitate them and start making small gardens to sell.

The eldest uncle and his mother-in-law often say that she is the lucky star of the village. Over the years, she has come up with many money-making ideas, which not only made their Han family, but also the people in the village a lot of money. Now the villagers can eat white rice every meal, and the children are all growing very strong.

The eldest uncle also boasted that the name her mother gave her was right and that it was indeed very good at attracting wealth.

I wonder how my parents are doing now?

No matter what, she had to get off the road and rush home to prevent her family from knowing and thinking that her second brother had really killed her.

After thinking about it, Han Zhaocai suggested: "How about this. There are only two roads in front of you. One of us can always take the right path. You take the left one first, and I take the right one. If you find that you are going wrong, just turn back."

Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind to go alone, Lu Wanfeng thought for a moment and gave in. "If you don't want to take the right way, then let's try this way first."

She was a little surprised to hear that he didn't insist anymore, "You don't want to take the left one?"

"I can't leave you alone." When he drowned, she didn't abandon him, and he wouldn't abandon her.

"I can take care of myself, you don't have to worry." She wanted to part ways with him quickly and tried hard to persuade him to take the left one.

Seeing her repeatedly trying to drive him away, Lu Wanfeng looked at her thoughtfully, "You are fearless in such a remote place. You don't look like a lady raised in a boudoir at all."

"What should a lady raised in a boudoir look like?" Han Zhaocai asked him.

"When I first met you in the Guan Xin Guan, you were gentle and quiet, smiling without showing your teeth and walking without showing your feet." As he said this, he glanced at her bare lotus feet under her skirt.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at her white feet, smiled and said, "The shoes were lost when they fell into the water. What can I do if I don't have bare feet? Is it possible that I can't crawl on it?" After saying that, she glanced at the boots on his feet pointedly, and persuaded him with a half-smile, "Your boots haven't dried out yet. Wearing them like this on your feet will probably suffocate athlete's foot."

Finally, she added a few words, "Smiling but not showing teeth is the way to treat strangers. We all share the same sorrow, there is no need to be so unfamiliar." From the remaining memories of Lou Zhuxin, she roughly knew what the original owner's temperament was like during his lifetime. It was different from her original temperament, but now that he was not in the Lou family, she had no intention of pretending to be a gentle lady like her.

Hearing her words, Lu Wanfeng's eyebrows moved slightly. He was about to say something when he heard her speak again: "Oh, by the way, you don't look like someone who knows how to restrain his wife."

Han Zhaocai said this because he wanted to help the original owner.

From the memory of the original owner, she learned that Lu Wanfeng had engaged in two marriages. Just after the first engagement, his fiancée contracted a strange disease and died suddenly; not long after the second engagement, the fiancée was bitten to death by a poisonous snake in his house.Later, the Lu family wanted to arrange another marriage for him, and they just asked a matchmaker to propose it. Unexpectedly, the girl from that family was hit with a bloody head by stones thrown by an unknown person, which frightened the other party and hurriedly refused to propose the marriage.

From then on, Lu Wanfeng's reputation as a wife-killer spread, and no one from the same family as the Lu family dared to marry him anymore.

Later, Lou Zhuxin accompanied her aunt to go to Wenxin Temple to worship God. By chance, she met Lu Wanfeng who was accompanying her grandmother. Lou Zhuxin fell in love with him at first sight, and her aunt noticed it.

Her aunt probably felt that Lu Wanfeng had a reputation of being a wife-suppressant, and was afraid that it would be difficult to find a girl of the right family, so she encouraged her father to find someone to propose marriage to the Lu family, hoping to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Lu family. Unexpectedly, they looked down upon the Lou family at all, let alone her, a mere concubine, and refused mercilessly.

Hearing this, Lu Wanfeng's face darkened. How could he not know that she said this deliberately to stab him, probably because she wanted to take revenge on him for rejecting her marriage.

He was a grown man and didn't want to get into this verbal quarrel with her, and no matter what, she was still kind to him, so even though he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything unpleasant to her, and walked to the right with a cold face.

Seeing that he had nothing to say in response to what she said, Han Zhaocai raised the corners of his lips and followed him slowly, thinking about how to get rid of this person.

In fact, if he turns against her and scolds her, she can take the opportunity to have a big quarrel with him, and then they can go their separate ways. Who would have thought that he could endure this tone without replying a word.
