Chapter 320: Going to the Feast

Xia Mingming heard from Yu Shu that Jing Chen was the boiling Dao that was spread in Anling City not long ago, and Yu Shu told her about Jing Chen's love affair with the Nine Emperor Princes in the same cultivator, and told her everything she could, as for what Xia Mingming thought, she couldn't care.

As soon as it was dark, Xia Mingming reluctantly said goodbye to Yu Shu, she took advantage of her father's visit to a friend today and sneaked out, and was found late when she went back, so she had to be grounded for a few more days.

Yu Shu knew that Xia Jiang Helang didn't look down on her, so he told Xia Mingming not to mention himself in front of her father again.

Sent Xia Mingming away, Yu Shu and Lin Fu said hello, and went home, I haven't seen Xue Rui come all day today, Yu Shu estimated that there was a big case in Dali Temple, otherwise he wouldn't have left so much yesterday.

When Yu Shu got home, he first went to Yu Xiaoxiu's room for a turn, and saw Bai Ran sitting on a small chair beside the bed in an orderly manner, holding a small chair that was being read to Yu Xiaoxiu in his hand, he was satisfied, and walked over and said:

"Don't read it yet, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

When Bai Ran saw Yu Shu coming back, he hurriedly got up from the chair and lowered his head to the side: "Daxiu."

Yu Shu nodded at him, glanced at his low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, then turned his attention to Yu Xiaoxiu, took the clothes at the end of the bed and put them on him, reached out and touched his head:

"How long did you sleep in the afternoon and still feel dizzy?"

Yu Xiaoxiu replied obediently: "I slept for a while after you went out at noon, today is fine, I haven't fainted, sister, where did you go in the afternoon, did you go to visit your mother?"

Look, they all say that "the old don't rest, and the young have no conscience", but the small one in her family has a lot more conscience than the old lady.

Yu Shu said: "I didn't go yesterday, but I went to other places this afternoon." Remember your sister Mingming, I saw her. ”

Yu Xiaoxiu was surprised: "Xia Mingming? Didn't she say that she went back to the south with her family, why is she still in the capital?"

"It didn't work out, something was delayed." Yu Shu didn't mention much of this to the child. After fooling him for a few words, the maid came in with the food, and Zhao Hui thoughtfully asked his subordinates to prepare three pairs of bowls and chopsticks, which included Bai Ran.

Under Yu Shu's greeting, Bai Ran sat next to the two sisters and brothers to eat with some restraint, eating without saying a word.

Yu Shu is quite satisfied with him like this, she doesn't like to follow the rules, but she likes people who follow the rules.

The next day, it was dawn. Yu Shu had a rare sleep. Zhao Hui's little maid Kidney Bean stood outside her window, knocked on the window lattice, shouted softly, and asked if she wanted to eat breakfast inside, but she didn't hear any movement inside, so she went back to her life. Zhao Hui felt sorry for her running back and forth every day, so she didn't let people shout anymore, and asked Kidney Bean to serve breakfast, put it on the stove, and wait for Yu Shu to sleep before eating.

Who knew that this bed was almost noon, Yu Shu slept too much, his head was groggy after getting up, he washed up, and walked around the yard twice. Walked to the door of the small courtyard of the west wing, hesitated, and raised his feet to enter.

After a winter, this yard is no longer what Jingchen looked like when he lived, a layer of new sprouts appeared on the trees in the yard, a faint green, the weeds in the corner of the wall were hoeed clean during the New Year, and a pair of red couplets pasted in front of the house were still very new, push the door in. The setting in the house didn't move much. Since Jingchen left, no one has lived in this house. Occasionally, Pei Jing stayed drunk and stayed in the next room.

Yu Shu walked to the window and looked at the thick stack of books on the desk, although she hadn't read these books, she recognized the titles of the books, these Taoist classics were picked out by her in the Yi Pavilion and bookstore, one by one, at that time, in order to help Jingchen recover his memory, Yu Shu scratched her scalp.

casually flipped through the books on the table that fell into the dust, and it was not difficult to find the volume of "The Biography of Liu Yi" sandwiched inside, which was the only one of all the books she bought for Jingchen that had nothing to do with Taoism, but told the story of love between men and women.

She remembered that the night he left in a hurry, it was upside down on the table.

Suddenly, Yu Shu recalled that day, the first snow fell, and it was freezing outside, she ran out of the city to find Jingchen in a crazy way, and almost froze into ice slag after the end.

Now that I think about it, it's really stupid, for the sake of a man, even her life is risked, is this like a stupid thing she would do?

"It's stupid, it's stupid." Yu Shu shook her head, saying this, after all, she didn't regret it in her heart, she restacked the books on the table, only picked out the "Biography of Liu Yi", stuffed it into the drawer, and after doing this, she walked out of the room and closed the door.

Exhale one more breath and your head clears.

When the sun set, Xue Rui came to Zhao Hui's house to pick up people, and the coachman Lao Cui called the new porter to go in to send a message, and after a while, Yu Shu came out neatly.

Xue Rui changed to a carriage today, it looks very fancy on the outside, and the place inside is also large, enough to seat seven or eight people, only three people, it is really a little empty, oh, this needs to be mentioned, Xue Rui took the little guy out today, and sat at the corner of the car with a curtain, looking smart, fifteen or sixteen years old.

Yu Shu hadn't seen this person next to Xue Rui, so he looked at it more, a subordinate, Xue Rui naturally didn't introduce the name, he looked at Yu Shu, who was dressed in a beard and tied his hair, and the heroic Yu Shu, stroked his forehead, regretting that he didn't remind her to dress up the day before yesterday, tonight is a banquet, appointed by the emperor Chrysostom, Daozi made his first public appearance, and there was no holy decree coming down, and none of the female guests were so "casual".

"What's wrong?" Yu Shu looked at Xue Rui and looked at her a little strangely.

"It's nothing, how's the minor repair, is it better?" Xue Rui saw that she was unconscious, and shook his head secretly, thinking that forget it, don't talk about her, anyway, the host of this banquet is not someone else.

Yu Shu smiled: "The recovery is very good, the godfather said, in another seven or eight days, you will be able to go to school."

"That's good," Xue Rui was about to talk to Yu Shu about something serious, which was why he took a detour to pick her up.

"There are many people who go to the princess's mansion tonight, among the peers, all who should come are here, and when the time comes, someone will inevitably ask about the matter of Daozi entering Beijing, the emperor has rewarded you in front of you, and the movement is not small, there are many people who know that you have escorted Daozi, and there are many people who know that you have accosted you at the banquet, you can be polite, you don't need to say more to them, especially the murder on the road to Daozi - remember not to talk too much, lest someone with a heart beat your idea."

Yu Shu had already thought that this banquet would not be easy, maybe those who had ill intentions towards Jing Chen would be mixed in, and after listening to Xue Rui's advice, he nodded and said, "I know the Dao, don't worry, I know how to deal with the Dao."

Xue Rui saw that her expression was too serious, hooked the corners of his eyes and smiled, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, "It's not so careful, I'll follow you." ”
