These words made Mrs. Lu laugh again, "It's better to be careless. You don't have to worry about anything. The more serious a person is, the more he has to worry about."
These words were said while looking at Xie Tingzhou. Xie Tingzhou did not dodge, but instead of looking at each other, Mrs. Lu finally looked away first.
"Changliu has a lively temper. If he disturbs you, just kick him out." Xie Tingzhou said.
Changliu felt aggrieved, "I..."
Mrs. Lu said: "I like this kid."
Changliu said proudly: "I said I had to come. The prince was not prepared to take me at first, but he took me because I was forced to die."
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him sideways, "Don't use idioms randomly."
Chang Liu said: "It's true. I said I wanted to come and see what the Lu Mansion, the best in the world, is like. There are rumors outside that the floor tiles in the Lu Mansion are all paved with gold. I even dug one out secretly at noon. , I scraped for a long time but no gold came out."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "You believe this too."
"Do you like gold bricks?" Mrs. Lu asked.
Changliu said: "Who doesn't like gold?"
"Then I'll give you a gold brick."
Changliu's legs almost weakened, he nodded and shook his head, "I still don't want it anymore, it's useless if I bring it."
"Then let grandma reward you with a vat." Shen Yu said to Mrs. Lu.
Changliu's eyes lit up and he looked at Xie Tingzhou without daring to stop.
"Grandma, I have something to say to you alone," Shen Yu said.
Mrs. Lu nodded and stretched out her hand to help her get up and enter the house.
As soon as the door closed, Shen Yu knelt down immediately.
"Ouch, what are you doing?" the old lady said in surprise: "Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
Shen Yu didn't get up, but looked at Mrs. Lu and said, "I'm not filial. I can't be filial in front of my grandmother."
Mrs. Lu sighed and pulled her up, "How can a granddaughter need to accompany her grandmother to fulfill her filial piety? My daughter's family will eventually get married, and there is someone in front of my grandmother, so it doesn't matter."
It’s been less than a month since I came back. I thought I could stay longer, but I didn’t expect to leave again.
"The imperial court has issued a message, and it will reach Luozhou in a few days. I can't stay here for a long time, otherwise it will bring trouble to Luozhou."
Shen Yu stared at the back of Mrs. Lu's hand. It was skinny and wrinkled, aged and heavy by the years.
"When are you going to leave?" Mrs. Lu was reluctant to leave, but she tried not to show it.
"After my brother gets married, he will leave the next day."
Shen Yu helped her sit down.
Mrs. Lu said: "After this incident, there will not be many peaceful days in the future. I think that boy Xie Yun is a responsible and courageous man, but he is the crown prince and the future King of Beilin. Since you have chosen this Do you really know the road and what you have to face?"
Shen Yu nodded obediently, "I know, I will advance and retreat with him."
Mrs. Lu sighed: "You don't know. No matter he is the crown prince or the king of Beilin, he cannot have only one wife and concubines. On the first three hundred years of the New Year, have you ever heard of any prince who only married one wife?"
"He won't." Shen Yu said firmly.
Mrs. Lu shook her head helplessly, "This is now, and the future is the future."
"If that day comes, I will divorce him."
"You girl." Madam Lu couldn't help crying or laughing, and touched her hair lovingly, "Good child."
Then he choked up.
The road is far away and the car is going fast. I don’t know when we will see each other again, and I don’t know if her old bones can hold on until then.
Shen Yu lay on her grandmother's knee as she did when she was a child, and said softly: "I'm not afraid of the future, I'm just afraid that I didn't give it a chance."
In her previous life, she was confined to the small world of Jiang Mansion, and her fighting spirit was sapped by her injuries and identity. In this life, she made different choices and carved out a path that, although not perfect, was worthy of her heart.
If we don’t know the way forward, there are infinite possibilities on the way forward.
It suddenly became lively outside, accompanied by a few dog barks.
"It's Rhubarb." Shen Yu's eyes lit up, "Lv Yao and the others are here. Grandma, let me help you out."
"I won't go." Old Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "You go ahead, I'll take a rest."
Shen Yu helped the old lady lie down before going out of the room. She saw Dahuang circling around Xie Tingzhou, his tail wagging out of the afterimage.
"You bitch." Shen Yu scolded.
When Dahuang heard the familiar voice, he turned his head and looked for a long time. After confirming, he ran towards her and was about to pounce on her.
Xie Tingzhou: "Rhubarb."
The sound was not loud, and many people did not pay attention. However, Dahuang suddenly shrank, retracted his front legs, and only rubbed against the hem of Shen Yu's skirt.
Lu Yao burst into tears, and Shen Yu looked at her, "Why did you lose weight? Did you endure hardship along the way?"
"No." Erya said standing aside.
"It's okay, I look better when I lose weight." Shen Yu comforted Lu Yao by patting her on the back.
Lu Yao shed tears, "Really?"
"Yeah." Shen Yu said, then turned to look at Xi Xi who stood behind and said nothing. "Thank you for your hard work. It's not easy to travel with two girls, isn't it?"
"This is what a slave should do." Xi Xi smiled and said, "Fortunately, I brought this person back to you."
Shen Yu nodded and said, "Follow me."
She glanced at Xie Tingzhou, who followed him knowingly, and the three of them entered the side hall.
Shen Yu and Xie Tingzhou took their seats and asked, "Did anything happen when you left Shengjing?"
"There is something wrong." Xi Xi carefully considered his words, "After you and the Crown Prince left Shengjing, Shengjing was closed down. In those days, people didn't dare to go out, and we didn't dare to go out either. After several days, people started to arrive one after another. I just went out to find out the news.”
"The Crown Prince," Xi Xi said, "The servants of the Prince's Palace in the north heard that the Crown Prince had left Shengjing, and many people seized the money and pried open the palace's warehouses."
"The warehouse was emptied by them?" Shen Yu asked.
Xixi said: "No, I heard that the minister of Dali Temple stopped this matter, and all the people in the palace were taken into custody."
Shen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou, "Is the Dali Temple Minister helping or looking for trouble?"
"It's Zuo Zong." Xie Tingzhou said: "The former Minister of Dali Temple was implicated in the incident of Marquis Xuanping. The current Minister of Dali Temple is Zuo Zong. When you were imprisoned in Dali Temple, he showed his kindness to me. , but now that we have left Shengjing, no one can tell what he is thinking."
"That can only be put aside for the time being, and you continue."
Xi Xi nodded, "Later we left the city, but... we just heard that the imperial court issued a proclamation, and the common people also knew about it. We originally walked slowly among the refugees, but after hearing about this, we Came here quickly."
"You're late." Shen Yu said.
"Too late?" Xi Xi opened her eyes wide.
Shen Yu said "Yes", "I already know about this. I will leave Luozhou in two days. Luyao and Erya will stay behind. You can follow me to Beilin."
Xi Xi was delighted when he heard this, and his eyes brightened a little.
The personal maid didn't even let him follow her, but she allowed him to go with him, which meant that she completely regarded him as a confidant.
"Yes!" Xi Xi's voice was a little louder, "Wherever the master tells me to go, Xi Xi will go."
