Chapter 37 Watching the Fun
Xie Tingzhou's expression was calm and he calmly withdrew his gaze and left.
Shen Yu couldn't help but be amazed.
Mr. Lan Yue is not just a name for nothing. This is just one admirer and it's just a small scene.
But Shen Yu was obviously wrong.
Before we finished our lunch, there was a commotion outside the yard.
Uncle Zheng put down his chopsticks and went out to see, only to see a group of women chattering as they walked to the door.
The one in the lead was Zhao Shun's daughter-in-law, who opened the half-person-high door of the fence directly.
People come in uninvited, and once they come in, it is too late to stop them.
Uncle Zheng stamped his feet in anger, turned his head to look at Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu, and said nervously: "This, this, this, this..."
Uncle Zheng usually lives alone and has few visitors. He has never dealt with so many women in his life and for a moment he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Hey, Uncle Zheng, are you still eating?" Zhao Shun's wife, who was walking in front, spoke first.
"Yes, we are eating." Uncle Zheng just hoped that they would leave quickly. "What do you want?"
Zhao Shun's wife pressed the pink flower on her temples and said, "I just came to visit you casually."
Zhao Shun's wife was amazed, her eyes were already glued to Xie Tingzhou's face, and when she saw Chen Yu next to her, her eyes lit up again.
When she came yesterday, she only saw Xie Tingzhou. She didn't expect that Uncle Zheng was so lucky. Although he lost his son, he had two such handsome nephews.
This village is remote and you won’t see any outsiders for a year or two. It’s natural that they are seeing two handsome men.
Some came simply to watch the fun, some were dressed up beautifully, with their New Year jackets turned out inside out, and even Old Mrs. Liu from the end of the village followed behind on crutches.
That's how it is in the village. If there's any disturbance, it will spread to everyone in less than a meal's time.
Uncle Zheng blocked the door and refused to let anyone in. A group of women poked their heads in to look inside.
The Beilin Palace has strict rules and no one would dare to stare at Xie Tingzhou while he eats like that.
Maids and servants had to keep their heads down when entering and leaving, and they were not allowed to look around, let alone stare at him while he was eating.
Xie Tingzhou put down his chopsticks and stood up.
To return to the room, one must go out of the main hall and turn right, but the door is blocked.
It was not the master's turn to clear the road himself, so it was naturally the job of her as a guard.
Chen Yu quickly scraped away the rice in the bowl, rushed to him in a few steps, and called out to the people at the door, "Excuse me, please make way, my brother needs to go back and rest."
"It's still early," someone in the crowd said, "Let's sit down and rest for a while. Where are you from, sir?"
The door was blocked by people and even the wind couldn't get in.
Chen Yu couldn't take action, and she couldn't let the Prince of Beilin be treated like a monkey here.
We are all neighbors, and I will count on the villagers to take good care of me while I live here.
"Let's do it another day, another day." Chen Yu was rarely patient and coaxed the person away first, "Prepare some fruits and vegetables another day, and let's sit down and talk again."
Uncle Zheng said unhappily, "That's right, you blocked my door, and someone who didn't know would think you were here to collect debts."
The woman who didn’t make it to the front yesterday shouted from the back: “That’s right, don’t let people say that we village women don’t know the rules.”
Seeing that everyone was a little shaken, Chen Yu added fuel to the fire, "Today's weather is not good. I saw that the tree at the entrance of the village is nice. Why not put fruits and snacks there in the evening and drink with the sunset? How elegant it is."
How could the village women understand what elegance was, but seeing that the two of them were like godly figures, they were naturally different from people like them.
Everyone made way for a path wide enough for one person to walk through the door, and someone even said, "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll prepare a pot of good tea."
"What good tea can you have? My husband is going to town tomorrow, and I asked him to bring back some snacks."
Everyone has already started assigning tasks and telling who is responsible for preparing what.
Chen Yu looked back at Xie Tingzhou and motioned for him to catch up.
Someone behind the crowd gave a shove, and the person in front was pushed and was about to pounce on Chen Yu who was passing by.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if it just pounced once, but it happened to be the injured side.
Just as he was about to grab Shen Yu's injured arm, Xie Tingzhou suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.
The woman threw herself on Xie Tingzhou's arms. Before joy could spread across her face, she raised her eyes and saw Xie Tingzhou's expression, and her face suddenly froze.
Xie Tingzhou looked at her and said word by word: "Stand. Steady. Now."
When their eyes met, the woman shuddered immediately. She clearly saw the murderous intent in those fierce eyes.
Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu entered the room and closed the door, and Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
After she married Jiang Lian, she had also been in contact with the wives of high-ranking officials and attended several banquets and parties. Every time she went there, she felt that the days were long. Now she knows that there are always people better than you.
After hearing the group of women in the yard walk away, Shen Yu carried the kettle on the table and went out.
After a while, he came back with the pot.
Chen Yu poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Xie Tingzhou with both hands, "Your Highness, please have some tea."
Xie Tingzhou reached out and took the tea bowl.
There was a faint scent of tea in the air. It wasn't a good tea, but it was good enough.
"Where did the tea come from?" Xie Tingzhou took a sip and found that the taste was indeed not very good.
Chen Yu said, "I bought it in town yesterday."
Xie Tingzhou took another sip and said, "Why are you buying tea? Do you have a lot of money?"
Seeing that his bowl was almost empty, Chen Yu hurriedly and attentively refilled it for him, "Because Your Highness actually frowns a little every time he drinks water, I guess he is not used to the water here."
Xie Tingzhou stared at him for a few seconds, his expression half-smiled, which made Shen Yu feel uncomfortable.
"What are you laughing at, Your Highness?" Shen Yu asked.
Xie Tingzhou shook the tea bowl gently. The tea soup was dull in color. It was the worst quality tea he had ever tasted.
He smiled faintly and said, "I just helped you block someone, but you kept calling me Your Highness. In the past, you would have the audacity to call me 'you' directly."
Just like the big yellow dog in the yard, he wags his tail at anyone who is nice to him. It's really cute.
Xie Tingzhou leaned closer, "Are you so easily bribed?"
Shen Yu was stared at by him, and her body leaned back unconsciously, and she said confidently: "That's because there are outsiders here, so naturally we can't expose your highness's identity."
"Really?" Xie Tingzhou put down the tea bowl and said, "Then who said to me 'Come over to sleep' when we were alone last night?"
Chen Yu was embarrassed, "Yes, is there?"
She thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case.
She felt very cold in the middle of the night and unconsciously squeezed towards Xie Tingzhou. He then backed away and almost fell off the bed.
At that time, Xie Tingzhou sighed in the darkness, and she seemed to have said something like this to ask him to lie closer.
But she would never admit it.
"Your Highness, could it be that you were confused in your sleep and remembered it wrongly?" Chen Yu shamelessly refused to admit it.
Xie Tingzhou didn't bother with him and changed the subject, "You can go to the tea party tomorrow by yourself."
Shen Yu then remembered that there was a big trouble. She spoke out of her mind at the time just to persuade the person to leave first.
Who knew that the group of women were not so easy to fool and they set a date for her directly.
"I'm not going." Chen Yu said.
Looking at his wrinkled face, Xie Tingzhou was silent, "Should I go?"
Let the dignified Prince of Beilin go to a tea party with a group of women?
Tsk tsk, that scene, Shen Yu didn't even dare to think about it.
