Chapter 2211 Turning Faces Faster Than Turning a Book
The group ultimately decided not to go out for dinner. There were too many people outside, and Shu Yu was worried that Xiao Ruojun, who was pregnant, might get bumped into, not to mention the children.
Finally, Zhao Xida and the others went to the restaurant next door and ordered a table of food and drinks to eat at the shop. However, all the restaurants were doing exceptionally well today, and by the time Shu Yu and the others had finished eating and drinking, it was already an hour later.
After Madam Yao and Xiao Ruojun were taken away, Shu Yu and her sister and the others slowly made their way to the small courtyard in the south of the city.
Before we even reached the courtyard, we saw a large crowd gathered outside.
Zhao Xi clicked his tongue, "These people really change their minds faster than flipping through a book. When they heard that A-Yun had fallen out of favor with the Emperor, they scattered in an instant. Now that they know that A-Yun has been granted the title of Jinshi and become the top scholar, they immediately swarm around him again."
Moreover, there were layers upon layers of people, and the entire alley was almost blocked.
Shu You frowned. "Let's go in through the back door."
"There are probably quite a few people waiting at the back door as well."
"What should we do?" Shu You looked at her son in her arms, whose head was nodding sleepily. If he was scared when they came in later, he would definitely cry.
Shu Yu told Ying Xi to turn the car around. "A Yun rented a house two streets away from Lu Ji Shop a couple of days ago. Let's stay there."
Zhao Xi suddenly turned to look at her, "What did you just say? A-Yun rented a house? How come I didn't know?"
Shu Yu shrugged. "He probably didn't have time to tell you. A-Yun had already anticipated this. In the days to come, there will probably be a lot of people outside this courtyard. We definitely won't have any peace and quiet here. But our luggage is still inside. We'll come back to get it later."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, my son is almost asleep."
So the carriage stopped briefly at the alley entrance outside the courtyard before leaving again.
Some sharp-eyed people noticed the carriage and became suspicious, but just as they were about to go forward to check, the carriage drove away, leaving them to return to the courtyard and squat there.
Meng Yunzheng's newly rented courtyard is very close to Futai Street, mainly for Shu Yu's convenience.
The yard has been completely cleaned and tidied up. Apart from not bringing your own belongings, you can move in immediately with just your bags.
Zhao Xi and Shu You took Xiao Huo Huo and Xiao Song Le back to their room to sleep, while Shu Yu took Ying Xi out to buy things.
No sooner had the two stepped out than Da Niu, who lived in the backyard of the shop, ran over and said to Shu Yu, "The manager of the framing shop is here. He said that the two paintings have been framed. Do you want to go and take a look so we can hang them up later?"
Shu Yu's eyes lit up. She had picked up the painting yesterday, but she hadn't expected it to be finished in just one day.
"Let's go take a look."
When they arrived at the shop, Shu Yu realized why the two paintings had been framed so quickly.
Seeing the shopkeeper carefully carrying the paintings with a look of surprise on his face, as if he wanted to hold the two paintings tightly and never let go, Shu Yu couldn't help but facepalm. Well, this must be a fan of Mr. Shanju.
Sure enough, upon seeing Shu Yu, the shopkeeper immediately came forward, saying respectfully and eagerly, "Greetings, County Princess Lu. County Princess, were these two paintings by Mr. Shanju specially made for this shop? Do you know Mr. Shanju? Is he in the capital?"
Shu Yu quickly took a step back. "Shopkeeper, calm down. Although these two paintings were done by Mr. Shanju, I don't know him."
