Liu Tan sent someone to listen to the reply the next morning, Yu Shu responded with a mouthful, and the person said: "Your Royal Highness explains, if Miss Yu has anything to prepare, you can hand it over to her subordinates. ”

Where would Yu Shu trouble Liu Tan's people to run errands, he immediately refused the other party, and said that he would wait for someone to pick him up at home tomorrow morning.

Liu Tan's people left with the front foot, and Yu Shu took Yu Xiaoxiu out of the door with the back foot, and promised to take him to visit Aunt Cui when he recovered from his injury, and if he didn't take the time to run, he didn't know where to delay.

The sisters and brothers rented a carriage on the road, passed through the downtown area, moved two bags of rice and noodles, and a few catties of oil and salt, and weighed more than a dozen catties of hind leg meat in the shop, and pulled them to the front of the alley in the east of the city.

Yu Shu asked Yu Xiaoxiu to stay in the car and watch things, went in and called Aunt Niu, who was boiling water and cleaning, to come out, and carried grain and rice into the yard together.

On the third pole of the day, Aunt Cui just got up not long ago, combed her lazy head, was sitting in the hall and knocking sunflower seeds, squinted at Yu Shu to move things to the small courtyard, and waited until she saw Yu Xiaoxiu's figure who followed up after the most stubbornness, then she screamed in surprise, waved the melon seed skin on her knee, ran forward in small steps, hugged her son in her arms, screamed heartily in her mouth, and squeezed out a few tears.

"A thousand knives, ruthlessly told us to separate our flesh and blood, my mother thought that I would never see you again, my son, what did you look like, is this going to kill me?"

Yu Shu, who was "suffering a thousand cuts", rolled his eyes on the side, put down the oil pot in his hand, and walked over to fish out Yu Xiaoxiu, who was almost squeezed by Aunt Cui.

"Mother, don't cry if you are okay, isn't my brother alive."

Aunt Cui glared at her with a lack of anger, and grabbed Yu Xiaoxiu's hand and pulled her into the house.

Yu Xiaoxiu looked at Yu Shu at a loss, and saw his sister waving her hand, so she let Aunt Cui take it away with a cramped face.

Aunt Cui pulled Yu Xiaoxiu into the house and closed the door, muttering that she didn't know what to say, Yu Shu didn't want to hear it, and turned to the stove room to take a look. Seeing that the pots and pans were complete, it seemed that he was at home every day, and he came out and called the little girl Xiangsui, and asked questions in a corner.

"I haven't been here for a while. How did my mother spend her days every day? ”

Xiangsui understands that their master and servant are now living next to Yu Shu, a girl, so she is very honest in front of Yu Shu: "My aunt sleeps until the morning every day, and she lies in the house and chatters when she eats breakfast." In the afternoon, I talked to the neighbor aunt at the door, and I had no other work, so I went to bed early after dinner. Oh, by the way, the day before yesterday the morning my aunt took the slave out of the house. went around the city, saying yes, saying that the aunt did not let the slave and the girl talk. ”

Yu Shu raised her eyebrows and gave her courage: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

Xiangsui then hesitated to say: "The slave maid listened to her aunt's tone, as if she was looking for her past master's house in Beijing. ”

Host?

Yu Shu was puzzled, and suddenly remembered Aunt Cui's background, Aunt Liu, who lived in the courtyard, once mentioned it to her, saying that her mother used to be a maid and maid of a large family. She and Xiao Xiu's father were scholars, and when they went to Beijing to take the exam, they lived in a large house, and they got along with Aunt Cui after coming and going. After the last scholar, Aunt Cui was let go of the master's family, said that she gave Yu's father an inner room, and brought it back to the south to become a family.

It's a pity that Yu's father is a short-lived ghost, Yu Xiaoxiu died in an accident not long after he was born, and later Aunt Cui was accepted as a concubine by the third master of the Ji family because of her beauty.

Thinking about it like this, Yu Shu turned a corner, presumably Aunt Cui was born in Tai'an in recent days, and the idea of finding the old master arose.

"Alright. I know that if she wants to go out in the future, you can just follow her, don't stop her, go back and tell me. Yu Shu was not interested in asking Aunt Cui's old master's house, and the woman on the left and right had no knowledge, so she couldn't make any waves. Besides, all these years have passed, maybe people have already moved away, and it is not certain whether they can find the door.

Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu stayed at Aunt Cui's place for lunch and dinner, and Aunt Cui never left Yu Xiaoxiu from beginning to end, as if this was her hope in the future.

After dinner, Aunt Cui originally had the idea of forcing Yu Xiaoxiu to come down to accompany her, but Yu Shu said that she would go to school tomorrow, so she took Yu Xiaoxiu away with half a grab and half a drag, and promised her to come to see her at the end of the month.

And Yu Xiaoxiu saw that Aunt Cui was living a good life, and finally felt at ease, after all, she was her own mother, and no matter how troublesome she was, it was connected with blood and bones.

***

On February 21, the sky is on fire, auspicious in the east, it is suitable to travel, it is advisable to settle down, avoid opening the light, avoid breaking ground.

Yu Shu calculated the yellow calendar last night, and saw that today's days were fine, there were no big ups and downs. So she got up early to feed the horses, freshened up and tidied up, took off her hat with He Fangzhi's permission, dressed up in a proper manner, brought a few commonly used cloth tools, and waited for Liu Tan to send someone to pick her up at the front door.

The carriage arrived at the door of the house on time, and the two guards who came to contact him yesterday politely invited Yu Shu to get into the car.

I didn't see Liu Tan in the car, Yu Shu asked the guards, only to know that they had taken her to Liu Tan's accommodation in the annex first, and then took a sedan chair to the Chunlan River to watch the meeting.

Yu Shu has no opinion on this, she knows that she can't compare her identity with Shui Yun, people can work a prince to pick up and deliver all day long, how dare she.

When Liu Tan saw Yu Shu, he didn't say much nonsense to her, one made a fuss and the other was exempt, introduced the Mr. Helan who was in the dry seat, and after taking a photo, he got on the soft sedan chair, one after the other on the two soft sedan chairs, and swayed and ran to the Shuangyang Club. The reason why I didn't take the carriage was because there were many people near the bank of the Chunlan River, and the carriage was inconvenient to pass, and it was not as fast as a sedan chair to squeeze around.

The three sedan chairs stopped directly in front of Qiongyu Building, Yu Shu followed Liu Tan and got off the sedan chair, and looked around, there were many guards guarding the vicinity, surrounding the pavilion, and then looking up at the seats upstairs, there were already many people who arrived first.

Yu Shu and Mr. Helan followed Liu Tan upstairs from the west corner, thinking about how to pass the time later, when they heard Liu Tan in front of him suddenly stand on his feet and said loudly: "The Kun Xi next to the seventh brother's seat is the young lady of the Ji family, and you also know that it is the right judge who was found to be cheating for personal gain before." ”

Knowing that he was talking to her, Yu Shu said "hmm", raised his eyes to look at Liu Tan's back, pondered what he meant, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, rest assured, Minnu Province will not cause you trouble." ”

"Heh" Liu Tan laughed inexplicably, and without looking back, he went upstairs.

Yu Shu followed step by step, came to the third floor, immediately changed the scene in front of him, looking east is a long corridor, the ground is covered with thick Persian carpets, the tea seat soft chairs are lined up, looking south is a carved railing, facing the Chunlan River, the field of vision is loose, one breath and one breath, there is the fragrance of high wind, which makes people feel comfortable.

Yu Shu didn't patronize to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the riverbank, and followed Liu Tan to his seat under his feet, passing by one halfway, but heard someone say in a strange way: "Yo, Brother Nine is here." ”

Yu Shu took a look, and saw a half-grown young man wearing a small crown of golden wings sitting on the Taishi chair, stepping on the footstool with one foot, looking at Liu Tan with a smile, it was Liu Yi, the eleventh prince, who was good friends with Liu Hao, the king of Ning.

Seeing this overlord, Yu Shu hurriedly retracted his gaze and looked down at the road, afraid that he would see him looking for trouble later, but she was too worried, the banquet in the princess's mansion had passed for a long time, and Liu Yi had long forgotten which one she was.

"Eleventh brother." Liu Tan nodded at Liu Yi, who was half a year younger than him, ignored the sour sarcasm in his words, walked past him without squinting, and sat in his place.

Liu Yi snorted lightly, turned his head away, and for some reason, he didn't continue to pester him.

Yu Shu saw that next to Liu Tan's seat, there were two other soft seats, one east and one west, one with brocade chickens embroidered on the backrest, and the other with five-colored snakes embroidered on the backrest.

After a while, someone came up one after another, it was Liu Yu, who was ranked eighth, Liu Tan got up to greet his brother because of his weak age, Liu Yu smiled and said a few words to him, and then sat down separately.

The fourth prince, Liu Si, was deposed and left the capital overnight because of Shui Yun's accident, so the most belated old King of Qining has become the oldest among the princes present in Qiongyulou today.

"Brother Seventh is here."

"Seventh brother."

As soon as Liu Hao went upstairs, the atmosphere was immediately different, and everyone on the whole floor got up to greet him, and Liu Tan was no exception.

Yu Shu knew that Ji Xingxuan was following Liu Hao, and soon found the figure of a covered woman behind Liu Hao, which was the first time that Yu Shu had seen Ji Xingxuan in public so clearly since the trial of the case in Dali Temple.

She was dressed in plain silver jewelry, still in the filial piety period, the whole person was much thinner, and she followed behind Liu Hao with light eyebrows, a veil blocked people's peeping, and she couldn't see her joy, anger and sorrow, but vaguely with a sense of loneliness thousands of miles away.

Because Yu Shu knew that Liu Hao sent someone to arrest her and Shui Yun, and then blamed Liu Si, he was a little more suspicious of Ji Xingxuan, and it was inevitable to look at her a few more times, and I don't know if she was involved in this matter.

"Eh, Ninth Brother, this is-" Liu Hao found Yu Shu beside Liu Tan, with just the right amount of surprise on his face, and turned his head to Liu Tan with a puzzled look.

Liu Tan glanced at Yu Shu and explained to Liu Hao reluctantly: "I attended the Shuangyang Meeting, and the Kun seat couldn't be empty all the time, so Uncle Jingchen helped me invite Miss Yu to be a temporary substitute. ”

Hearing that Liu Tan was using Jingchen's way as a cover, Liu Hao smiled and didn't ask any more.

When Yu Shu heard Liu Tan's statement, he slandered in his heart, but there was no discoloration on his face.

But Ji Xingxuan didn't seem to see Yu Shu's enemy at all, and followed Liu Hao past them without squinting and sat down.

Sweeping Ji Xingxuan's back, Yu Shu's eyes flashed cold, no matter how much this girl pretends to be indifferent, she can't change the fact that the two are mortal enemies, sooner or later she will have to clean up this bane. (To be continued.)
