After the meal, Lu Zheng took Gu En back to his courtyard.
"Brother Yuan, did you buy your own yard?" Gu En asked curiously.
"I guess so. My mother left me a large sum of money when she passed away, which I used to buy houses in various places," Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"Wow! Your mother is so rich! Brother Yuan, your mother must be very beautiful!" Gu En asked again.
"Yes, she's very beautiful." Lu Zheng had never seen his mother, not even a portrait of her. He had only heard people say that his sister looked like his mother and that his sister was very beautiful, so his mother must be beautiful too.
“Brother Yuan,…”
"Zhou Yuan!"
Gu En was about to ask something when she was interrupted.
The two looked over together, and Gu En immediately recognized the person: "It's the black-faced waiter!"
Xue Qianyu's already expressionless face grew even colder upon hearing these words.
It's all because of Gu Nian, the dark-faced waiter? He's not dark at all. His complexion is perfectly fine!
Lu Zheng was taken aback when he saw Xue Qianyu, then looked at the two carriages behind him. Well, was the emperor out on an incognito visit again?
Xue Qianyu dismounted and looked at Lu Zheng, saying, "Aren't you supposed to be farming in the village? Or can't you resist the allure of the city?"
Gu En: "Black-faced little brother, don't you know it's the Dragon Boat Festival? It's the Dragon Boat Festival for dragon boat racing and eating zongzi. Our academy is on holiday, and the fields are on holiday too! My brother Yuan is very good at farming. Even my dad praises him."
Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Enzi, don't talk to him so much, he doesn't understand farming!"
"Hahaha, Black-faced waiter, Zhou Yuan, where is that girl Gu Nian?" The emperor got off the carriage, extremely happy.
As soon as he entered the city, he ran into Lu Zheng and the Gu family's boy. Does that mean the Gu family is also here?
It would be nice to let the mother play with them.
“Master Ye, my second uncle and his family have already retired for the night,” Lu Zheng said, bowing.
"Hello Uncle Ye, Uncle Ye, didn't you say you probably wouldn't be coming to Qingzhou this year? Did you come here specifically because you heard that the dragon boat race in Qingzhou is very exciting?" Gu En greeted him politely, then asked curiously.
"That's right! Didn't we come here just to watch the fun? Enzi, you've grown taller again after not seeing you for several months!" The emperor ruffled Gu En's hair.
He really likes Gu Jia's children; none of them are afraid of him, unlike his own children, who act like quails when they see him.
“Uncle Ye, let me tell you, my second uncle’s family has successfully grown the seeds from Grandpa Zhou’s family. They have watermelons and strawberries, and they’re so delicious! After you watch the dragon boat race, come back to the village with us and eat some!” Gu En naturally took the emperor’s hand.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu were both amazed. The Gu family was truly remarkable. The elders treated the Emperor like a nephew, the peers like brothers, and the younger generation genuinely regarded the Emperor as a kind-hearted uncle next door!
"Oh? There's something delicious to eat again?" The emperor smacked his lips and looked at Lu Zheng.
“Yes, Mr. Ye. My second uncle’s family has grown quite a few flowers, and some fruit as well. They harvested watermelons and strawberries a few days ago, and I was just thinking of sending them to you, Mr. Ye, after we have a large harvest! Fruit doesn’t keep well, so Nian Nian and Xin Xin are discussing wrapping it in ice to store it for a while.” Lu Zheng answered honestly, not forgetting to make sure Gu Nian and Gu Xin were mentioned.
"You little rascal, you're really extravagant! Even if Master Zhou is rich, he can't afford to let you squander like this!" the emperor said speechlessly.
