Chapter 295 Lord Lu Must Sit at the Main Table
He wrote to Yan Xing: "After all, I am no exception and believe that a girl should find a good home. I am also an ordinary person among the mortal world. But I have observed carefully and I think Weidong is a reliable person. I hope my Zhaoxi can live a happy life. I hope that the world will be peaceful, the people can live and work in peace, and lovers can finally get married."
He concluded by writing: "Now that the people are displaced, we must encourage them to get married and have more children in order to maintain national strength. Unfortunately, it is already difficult for the people to survive now..."
After all, Lord Lu is Lord Lu, and by the end he couldn't help but worry about the country and the people. However, after expressing his frustration, Lu Chenyang's mood improved a lot, and then he talked about business again.
"Huai'an City is in ruins and in need of a permanent settlement. If possible, please ask the local refugees if they would like to settle in Huai'an City. Policies for the next five years will favor Huai'an City." Lu Chenyang added, "Of course, everything will be based on the wishes of the people..."
After Lu Chenyang finished writing the letter, he sent it out. Then he saw that there was still a lot of ink left. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, he wrote letters to Lingnan, Shu, Quzhou, Anzhou and other places.
Lu Chenyang didn't believe that when one side was in trouble, all sides would come to its aid. He had already written the letter, but they still didn't gather a group of people for him!
Alas, who could have imagined this? Before, refugees were like a plague, and we were afraid they would infect us. Now, the common people have become a hot commodity.
Lu Chenyang turned around and went back to deal with the affairs of Huai'an City. He wanted to leave for Huai'an City. Because some people had come to seek refuge, many things needed to be handled. Lu Chenyang attached great importance to the reconstruction of Huai'an City, so he wanted to go there to take charge.
Now that Weidong's condition had stabilized, Lu Chenyang wanted to set off. He wanted to leave Weidong behind to recuperate, as his injuries were not suitable for traveling.
But after Wei Dong knew about this, he strongly requested to go with Lu Chenyang.
Wei Dong said to Lu Chenyang, "Your Excellency, please go ahead. I will just follow the convoy and move slowly. I can't sit still here to recuperate. If I stay here, I will miss Huai'an City."
Lu Chenyang glanced at Zhao Xi, who had a sullen face, and said, "I'll listen to the doctor."
Zhao Xi snorted coldly and said, "Since he wants to go back, he won't listen even if I say no. Let him do whatever he wants."
This is angry.
Lu Chenyang gave Wei Dong a look that said, "May the best of luck to you," and said, "Zhao Xi, it's indeed too much for him, an injured man, to disobey the doctor's orders, but you shouldn't be too angry. After all, he just doesn't take care of his body and just wants to continue on his journey despite his injuries. That's all."
When Zhao Xi heard this, he became even angrier.
Wei Dong looked at Lu Chenyang in shock. He didn't expect that he was such an adult!
Zhao Xi left angrily.
But on the day of departure, Zhao Xi carefully inspected the carriage Weidong was riding in. He had thick mattresses laid out on it, three layers thick, so soft that he sank into the cotton. He was afraid the jolting of the carriage might injure his wounds.
After checking the carriage, Zhao Xi jumped off with a stern face.
"Okay, carry him up." Zhao Xi said coldly.
Wei Dong was stunned: "Hey, you...you won't accompany me?"
Zhao Xi sneered, "Master Wei is in good health, do you really need me to accompany him?"
After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he turned and left.
Wei Dong touched his nose with a wry smile. It was over. She was really angry now. How could he coax her?
When Lu Ning heard that the two were arguing, he ran over to watch the fun.
"Where is that girl Zhao Xi? Why can't I see her? Hasn't she been following you around recently?" Lu Ning asked knowingly.
Weidong felt that ever since he'd expressed his desire to marry Zhaoxi, the true colors of everyone around him had been revealed. Their talk of comrades-in-arms sharing life and death together was all fake; everyone was just jealous of him.
Wei Dong said seriously, "Of course she has to accompany the adults. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. Now that she and I are not engaged, it's not appropriate for us to be in the same car together. If others find out, it will be bad for her reputation."
Lu Ning suppressed a smile as he listened to his nonsense, nodded repeatedly, and gave him a thumbs-up: "Master Wei is very understanding and considerate. It's admirable."
Wei Dong puffed out his chest slightly with pride, but his face fell as he entered the carriage.
Alas, those who are trapped in love.
Zhao happily entered the carriage. Lu Chenyang was reading a book. As soon as he saw her expression, he knew that half of his cabbages had been stolen.
Lu Chenyang continued reading the book and said, "Since you are so worried, why not stay in his carriage and take care of him?"
Zhao Xi snorted, "Who cares! His body is his own. If he doesn't take it seriously, why should I care?"
Lu Chenyang couldn't help but ask, "Are you really that worried about him?"
Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, then frowned, with a troubled expression on his face: "Not really, it's just..."
It’s just that Weidong is a little different.
At the beginning, Zhao Xi treated him differently because he was injured while saving Lu Chenyang, so of course she had to save him.
But after spending more time with him, I found that he seemed a little different.
Zhao Xi habitually shared his thoughts with Lu Chenyang: "I just feel that he is different from others."
Lu Chenyang immediately closed the book: "Different? How is it different?"
Lu Chenyang hadn't had a good time in the past few months. Every day was a battle, and he felt suffocated by the pressure. Now that something good had finally happened, he was very happy.
He likes to see people around him happy, even if they are just fighting and playing, he feels happy.
Zhao Xi thought about it, what was the difference?
Every time he went to deliver medicine to him, he would prepare snacks and fruits in advance. However, after a few times he saw her preference, so he always prepared chestnut cakes.
Jing'an City is not that wealthy, and I don't know where he got it from.
Later she found out that he had exchanged his own spoils with others.
After Zhao Xi knew about it, he just felt a little sweet in his heart.
Zhao Xi thought for a moment and said to Lu Chenyang, "I don't care about that chestnut cake. The Lord gave me more than that. But... I know this is the best he can get now."
Lu Chenyang had always been poor. Even when eating eggs was a luxury for him, he never wronged Zhao Xi. Even when he was broke, he would still ensure that Zhao Xi had an egg every day.
Zhao Xi also worked very hard, treating patients, making medicine, and researching new prescriptions. Lu Chenyang felt sorry for her and lived frugally to ensure she had good food.
But if conditions permit, Lu Chenyang will take good care of her and she will eat whatever Lu Chenyang eats.
Zhao Xi looked at Lu Chenyang and said, "He reminds me of you, my Lord."
She remembered the trap they were trapped in. That day they fell into the trap, and half of the last fruit on Lu Xueyin's body was given to her.
The fruit actually didn’t taste very good, it was sour and astringent, but it was the only thing Lu Xueyin had at the time.
Lu Chenyang looked at her with a smile, feeling relieved and happy.
She has saved many people, and almost all the medicines used by the Lu family army now are made by her. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the savior of the entire Lu family army.
Many of them were grateful to her and would give her some things, but she always felt that it was different, different from Weidong.
She added, "I cut my hand while treating someone the other day, but I didn't pay much attention to it. He asked me if it hurt. I thought it was a bit strange. I'm a doctor, but the injured person asked me if it hurt."
Lu Chenyang chuckled and ruffled her hair.
"My charm has finally come into play." Lu Chenyang said with a sigh.
Zhao Xi was stunned. She was not a fool. Lu Chenyang's words seemed to mean something.
"No, he and I don't have that kind of relationship..." Zhao Xi explained immediately.
Lu Chenyang looked at her gently and said, "I don't know what your relationship is, but I remember you said that there was a light in the prince's eyes when he looked at me. I think I seem to understand what that look is, because he looks at you with the same look."
Zhao Xi was stunned.
It was actually she who first noticed that Yan Xing treated Lu Chenyang differently. It wasn't that she was clueless; on the contrary, she was quite perceptive. It was just that she was in a situation where she was confused, and she hadn't expected Wei Dong to think that way.
Lu Chenyang felt that Weidong should be very grateful to him and he must sit at the main table when they got married.
