Chapter 805 Tang Wenqian Has a Bright Future
The Lu family was stunned. "Really?"
"Yes." Others might not know, but Shu Yu knew.
Tang Wenqian's following of Xiang Weinan meant he was now tied to the Fifth Prince's ship.
As long as they do something practical in this crucial year before the Fifth Prince ascends the throne, they will surely have a bright future.
The old lady said, "Scholar Tang is indeed a good person. Last time, he even helped us get back Daya's dowry. If he has a bright future, it will be a source of pride for our entire Shangshi Village."
She paused, then snorted coldly, "It's just that her mother is difficult to deal with, and she's a real hindrance. She clearly has no ability, but she thinks she's superior. She's also scheming and self-righteous, always acting like a lady of high society, which is not likable. It's fortunate that Tang Xiucai was sent to school from a young age to learn to read and understand reason, otherwise she would definitely have spoiled him."
Shu Yu listened to her rambling complaints, smiled, and continued reading.
Tang Wenqian's writing was brief, just a simple overview of the situation. After reading it, Shu Yu put it aside.
It was already completely dark when Shu Yu said, "I'll reply tomorrow."
Lu Erbai said, "There's no need to go back. We should be able to return to Jiangyuan County soon, and then we can just go back and see them."
Shu Yu remained silent. Soon... Ah, the problem is that the imperial edict from the capital hasn't arrived yet.
But Lu Erbai had a lot of confidence in her. "It's probably just a slight delay on the way. Ayu's heating pack is so useful and convenient, she definitely won't leave without a reward. Besides, it was Mr. Qi who handed it over, so the Emperor won't take it lightly. Didn't Brother Yao get one last time?"
That's true.
Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Shu Yu wasn't in a hurry.
But this wait lasted for more than half a month.
Until the end of March, a few people suddenly arrived at the Heichang County government office. Not long after, they set off together with the new county magistrate who had only been in office for two months and headed straight for Zhengdao Village.
At that time, Shu Yu was washing clothes by the river. She and the old lady lived alone at home. They didn't have many clothes, and they weren't dirty. She could just wash them quickly and go back.
But there were several girls by the river, including the same girl who had approached her by the river to talk before.
This time, she didn't ask Shu Yu if she needed help. Instead, she squatted down on the stone slab in front of Shu Yu, talking to her while picking up the clothes next to her and rubbing them.
“Miss Lu, I’ve just finished washing up. Let me give you a hand. Let’s go back together after we’re done washing up.”
Shu Yujiu, "..."
She looked at the girl named Qingqing in front of her and felt a headache coming on.
Last year, she was a little embarrassed and very nervous when she spoke to herself.
Now, several months have passed, have they become bolder? They've become so self-aware.
Shu Yu knew what she was thinking. Wasn't she just interested in Zhao Xi? But Zhao Xi was currently hanging around Daya. How could she not help her own sister help a stranger?
Shu Yu took the clothes from her hands with a smile, "No need, I was planning to go swimming and see if I could catch a couple of fish after I finished washing them. Now that you're done washing, you should go home first. You must be very busy at home, so don't let it interfere with your plans."
Qingqing's hands were now empty, her expression stiffened, and she quickly said, "I'm not busy, I, um..."
Before she could finish speaking, another girl walked up behind her.
