Chapter 218 Who doesn't like gold?
This made Madam Lu laugh again, "It's better to be simple-minded. You don't have to worry about anything. The more thoughtful a person is, the more worries he has to worry about."
These words were said while looking at Xie Tingzhou. Xie Tingzhou did not dodge or avoid them. Instead of staring at her, it was Madam Lu who looked away first.
"Changliu has a lively personality. If he disturbs you, just kick him out." Xie Tingzhou said.
Chang Liu felt aggrieved, "I..."
Madam Lu said, "I like this child."
Chang Liu said proudly: "I told you I had to come. The prince was not willing to take me with him at first, but I threatened him with death before he took me with him."
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and said, "Don't use idioms carelessly."
Chang Liu said, "It's true. I said I wanted to come and see what the Lu Mansion, the best mansion in the world, looks like. It's said outside that the floor tiles of the Lu Mansion are paved with gold. I secretly dug out a piece at noon, but I scraped it for a long time but couldn't find any gold."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "You believe this too."
"Do you like gold bricks?" asked Mrs. Lu.
Chang Liu said: "Who doesn't like gold?"
"Then I'll give you a gold brick."
Chang Liu's legs almost went weak, he nodded and shook his head, "I still don't want it, it's useless for me to take it."
"Then let grandma reward you with a jar." Shen Yu said to Madam Lu.
Changliu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xie Tingzhou but didn't dare to take it.
“Grandma, I have something I want to talk to you alone.” Shen Yu said.
Madam Lu nodded and held out her hand for her to help her get up and go into the house.
As soon as the door closed, Shen Yu knelt down immediately.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The old lady asked in surprise, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
Shen Yu didn't get up, looked at Madam Lu and said, "Ayu is unfilial and can't fulfill her filial duties in front of her grandmother."
Madam Lu sighed and pulled her up. "How can a granddaughter need to accompany her grandmother to show filial piety? Daughters will get married eventually. It's okay for her grandmother to have someone by her side."
It's been less than a month since I came back. I thought I could stay for a while longer, but I didn't expect to leave again.
"The imperial court has issued a proclamation, and it will reach Hezhou in a few days. I can't stay here for long, otherwise it will bring trouble to Hezhou."
Chen Yu stared at the back of Madam Lu's hand. She was skinny, with many wrinkles, and looked old and heavy from the years.
"When are you going to leave?" Mrs. Lu was reluctant but tried not to show it.
Show it out.
"After my brother's wedding, I will leave the next day."
Shen Yu helped her sit down.
Madam Lu said, "After this incident, there won't be many peaceful days in the future. I think Xie Yun is a responsible and courageous child, but he is the crown prince and the future King of Beilin. Since you have chosen this path, do you really understand what you will face?"
Chen Yu nodded obediently, "I know, I will stand by him."
Madam Lu sighed and said, "You don't know. No matter if he is the Crown Prince or the King of Beilin, it is impossible for him to have only one wife. In the three hundred years of the Great Zhou, have you ever heard of any prince who only married one wife?"
"He won't." Shen Yu said affirmatively.
Madam Lu shook her head helplessly, "Now is now, and the future is the future."
"If that day ever comes, I will divorce him."
"You little girl." Old Madam Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and touched her hair lovingly, "Good child."
Then he choked up.
The journey is long and the car is fast. I don’t know when we will meet again, and I don’t know if her old bones can hold on until then.
Chen Yu, lying on her grandmother's lap like she did when she was little, said softly, "I'm not afraid of the future, I'm only afraid of not giving it a try."
In her previous life, she was confined to the small world of the Jiang Mansion, where her fighting spirit was worn down by injuries and her identity. In this life, she made different choices and forged a path that, although imperfect, was one she could not be more proud of.
The road ahead is unknown, but the possibilities are endless.
It suddenly became lively outside, with some dogs barking.
"It's Da Huang." Chen Yu's eyes lit up, "Lv Yao and the others are here, grandma, let me help you out."
"I won't go." Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "You go, I'll take a rest."
Shen Yu helped the old lady lie down before leaving the room, and saw Da Huang circling around Xie Tingzhou, with its tail leaving a shadow.
"Lawless bastard." Chen Yu scolded.
When Dahuang heard the familiar voice, he turned his head and looked for a while. After confirming, he ran towards her and was about to pounce on her.
Xie Tingzhou: “Hmm?”
The sound was not loud and many people did not notice it, but Dahuang suddenly wilted, retracted its front legs, and just rubbed against the hem of Shen Yu's skirt.
Lu Yao's eyes were filled with tears. Chen Yu looked at her and asked, "Why are you so thin? Did you suffer along the way?"
"No." Erya stood aside and said, "Sister Luyao always shared her food with refugees on the road, and she was often hungry."
"It's okay, you look better when you're thinner." Chen Yu patted Lu Yao on the back and comforted him.
Lu Yao wiped a tear, "Really?"
"Yeah." Chen Yu said, and then looked at Si Xi who had been standing behind and hadn't spoken a word. "Thank you for your hard work. It must be difficult to travel with two girls, right?"
"It's what a servant should do." Si Xi said with a smile: "Fortunately, I brought the person back to you."
Shen Yu nodded and said, "Come with me."
She glanced at Xie Tingzhou, and Xie Tingzhou understood and followed her, and the three of them entered the side hall.
Chen Yu and Xie Tingzhou sat down at the main seat and asked, "Did anything happen on the way?"
"Yes, there are some things." Si Xi considered his words, "After you and the prince left Shengjing, Shengjing was sealed off. During those days, the people did not dare to go out, and we did not dare to go out either. After several days, some people went out one after another, and then I went out to inquire about the news."
"Prince." Si Xi said, "When the servants of the Beilin Palace heard that the prince had left Shengjing, many of them took away the money and broke into the palace's storehouse."
"Did they empty the warehouse?" Chen Yu asked.
Si Xi said, "No, I heard that it was the Dali Temple Minister who stopped this, and all the people in the palace were detained."
Chen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou, "Is the Dali Temple Minister helping or looking for trouble?"
"It's Zuo Zong." Xie Tingzhou said, "The former Dali Temple Chief was implicated in the Xuanping Marquis incident. The current Dali Temple Chief is Zuo Zong. When you were imprisoned in the Dali Temple, he showed me goodwill. But now that we have left Shengjing, no one can tell what he is thinking."
"That can only be put aside for now. Please continue."
Si Xi nodded, "Then we managed to get out of the city. Our names were not recorded in the palace files, so we didn't encounter any obstacles. It's just... it's just that when we heard that the court had issued a proclamation, the common people also knew about it. We were originally blending in with the refugees and moving slowly, but after hearing about this, we rushed here at full speed."
"You're late." Chen Yu said.
"Too late?" Si Xi opened his eyes wide.
Chen Yu said "hmm", "I already know about this. I will leave Hezhou in two days. Luyao and Erya will stay, and you will follow me to Beilin."
Si Xi was delighted when he heard that, and his eyes brightened a little.
She didn't even let her personal maid go with him, but let him go along, which means she treated him as her confidant.
"Yes!" Si Xi's voice became a little louder, "Wherever the master says to go, Si Xi will go there."
