Chapter 759 Grandma is finally here (1+2)
The carriage moved forward slowly. No one knew that the person they were looking for was hiding in the carriage, and no one noticed when the person had quietly left.
Xiao Yining lifted the curtain of the car and stared at the dark street scene outside the window. After Lu Cheng'an discussed the matter of meeting the emperor with the two old men, he quickly sneaked from under the car into the night.
The little kid remained skeptical about his unfortunate words just now.
However, before he left, she curiously asked why Lu Jiayi was never allowed to eat on time.
"Princess Le'an, to be honest, my body has long been broken, and I have no appetite. I don't even know what it feels like to be hungry. Moreover, when I am handling affairs, I am always so focused that I will miss meals if no one reminds me. Last time, Princess Le'an specifically mentioned it to me, and I have ordered my attendants to remind me every day. However, Ah Man has recovered her memory, and she is not very close to me anymore."
Lu Chengan gave her a quick explanation and then left with a kind smile on his face.
Xiao Yining didn't know whether to believe this explanation or not. She still had many questions in her mind, such as the fact that Lu Jiayi ate meat during the mourning period and the address, which seemed to contradict Lu Chengan's words.
The little kid couldn't help but ask the old man: "Dad, is what Lord Lu said true?"
Lin Yuzan glanced at her calmly and said, "Although Lord Lu surrendered to the emperor and told us a lot of past events, these are family scandals, so Qingjie should just let it go after hearing them. There is no need to delve into the truth or falsehood. They are just one-sided stories."
Little Yining nodded obediently and threw all the things about Lu Chengan and his daughter out of her mind.
At this time, Yu Ke stopped pretending to sleep and said with a sigh, "Sister Princess, Lord Lu is so pitiful. His mother was killed by his wife, and his wife suffered a misfortune. Now even Sister Lu doesn't want to get close to him."
When the three elders in the car heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.
Wang Cheng: "Miss Yu, Lord Lu may seem pitiful, but those who have nowhere to seek redress because their files have been tampered with need your mercy even more."
Lin Yuzan: "This is all his own fault. Miss Yu should distinguish between good and evil from these words. Remember, the words that others say to you in person are only the part they want you to know."
Wan Niang: "Miss Yu, don't trust a man's words. Madam Xie is wrong and favors her mother's family, but she has been married to Lord Lu for more than ten years and has her own children. How could she not care about them at all? Life is lived behind closed doors. Whether it is bitter or sweet, no one else will know."
Yu Ke's face had already turned red with embarrassment after hearing the soft and gentle words, and she nodded with a silly smile.
Finally, Xiao Yining gave a summary and clapped his chubby hands vigorously: "Sister Yu Ke, what my father, my mother and my uncle said are all right. It's really great."
As soon as these words came out, there was laughter in the carriage.
The carriage continued to move slowly forward in the night, its wheels rolling out a pleasant rhythm on the bluestone road.
Soon, the Yu family arrived. Yu Fugui paced back and forth anxiously at the gate, looking expectantly at the dark street. When he saw the approaching carriage, he was overjoyed and hurried to meet it without waiting for it to stop.
Yu Ke got off the carriage with the help of the coachman, and she couldn't wait to throw herself into her father's arms. She raised her head with tears in her eyes, wishing she could tell him everything that had happened tonight.
Yu Fugui felt distressed when he saw this. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a voice calling him from the carriage.
Lin Yuzan opened the carriage curtain, quickly glanced around, and asked, "Master Yu, has your caravan brought any local specialties from the south to me? The imperial examination is coming soon, and I want to give some to the master to express my gratitude."
Yu Fugui was startled, and hurriedly pushed his daughter aside, saying flatteringly: "Whatever Mr. Lin needs, I will naturally get it for you."
After saying that, he winked at his servant, then stepped forward, took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, and handed them in through the car window, "Mr. Lin, please take a look at the bill. The prices we give you are the most fair."
Little Yining blinked her eyes, and looked at the two people doing business in the middle of the night in confusion, and then the goods and money were settled.
Her father paid the money and returned home with a cart full of southern specialties, and solemnly instructed her not to ask or touch the baskets on the cart.
The kid responded obediently, then leaned out of the car window and looked at the baskets on the cart. His nose moved slightly, and there seemed to be a faint and indescribable odor floating into his nose. Then he shrank back in confusion, but couldn't help asking, "Dad, these baskets stink, we have to leave them at home for a few days."
In this regard, Lin Yuzan did not fool his daughter. He lowered his eyes and read the account carefully, and said truthfully: "Mr. Chen will take these away tomorrow morning. At that time, Dad will ask General Zheng to send the real local specialties to the residence of Mr. Jiang."
It turned out to be a cover-up. The little girl nodded in understanding and stopped asking questions. She snuggled in her mother's arms, trying to fall asleep.
After working like a beast of burden during the day, she was exhausted and soon felt sleepy. While she was half asleep, the old men's whispered conversation floated into her ears.
Faintly, she heard her father say to her uncle, "Yu Fugui has done a good job. He has found a general location for training private soldiers."
Private soldiers?
Who wants to rebel against her thick thighs?
Little Yining suddenly opened her eyes wide, but soon closed them slowly under her mother's patting. Half asleep and half awake, she heard her mother's surprised voice again: "Brother Hu, why are you squatting outside again?"
It sneaked past the little kid in his sleep one night.
The next morning, before dawn, Xiao Yining was awakened by a long-lost shouting sound.
"Brother Hu, the situation is urgent, why are you lying in bed? Do you really think you are a master and want your grandma to treat you to anything? I have not taken care of you for a few days and you have become lawless, right?"
"Shut up, if you yell again, I'll tear your mouth apart. You're trying to wake up all the neighbors."
Xiao Yining: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a, have grandma and uncle arrived?
Hearing this familiar voice, the little kid opened his eyes wide instantly and sat up suddenly in bed.
When Wanniang heard the noise, she gently drew aside the bed curtain and said softly to her daughter, "Qingjie, you're awake. Do you want to get up? Your grandmother and uncle are here!"
The next moment, she heard her daughter say, "Mom, go find Dad."
Wan Niang was stunned when she heard this, then she burst into laughter: "Qing Jie'er, your father is busy, your grandmother is scolding him!"
Xiao Yining: (o゜▽゜)o, then I must go!
