Chapter 367: Waiting for Whom
Xiao Yuxuan told Lin Yue: "I heard the queen praise you......"
Lin Yue smiled mischievously, "Mother, the queen mother praises me, isn't she also praising you and your father?" I'm your child. ”
Xiao Yuxuan looked relieved, "That's, that's." ”
After talking about the queen's praise for Lin Yue, Xiao Yuxuan told Lin Yue what was going on about Junrou lending money to the Du family.
"Your aunt was sitting in the private room at the time, and I only heard Junrou say to Xue Lingshan......"
Junrou said that the Du family was going to Yanzhou to join Lin Yue at that time, but they were unwilling to let them get on the ship because of many of the shopkeepers of the passenger ship. In addition, Du Shi and they didn't have much money for the journey, so they had to give some silver taels to the shopkeeper of a cargo ship, and begged their father to tell their grandmother I, so that they could be regarded as saying that the people were a little sympathetic to them and took them halfway.
Lin Yue nodded knowingly, "Hmm." ”
Uncle and their family, after the death of the Wan family, it was the Du family again. Du Shi is a person who picks a lot of doors, and she has not seen it.
Du Shi is willing to spend a few taels of silver to the shopkeeper, which can be regarded as a very rare thing for Du Shi, and he is generous.
Xiao Yuxuan said, "Before the shopkeeper got off the boat, he said to the Du family, 'Don't blame me, I go south and north to beg for a living, the old and the young, and it is not easy to live. I have not taken any of your taels of silver. I just think that the person in your family has made a mistake, and you must not make a mistake again in the future. ’”
"The shopkeeper said to them, 'It's not easy to do a good deed, but it's easy to do a bad deed.' I hope that after you leave my ship, you will not tell anyone that you have come on my ship. In the future, even if you meet me again outside, you don't have to mention it. ’”
Lin Yue listened and said:
"Uncle and his cousin have committed a big crime, and the shopkeeper must have seen their fish charms and knew that they and the eldest cousin were a family. It is reasonable for the shopkeeper to have such concerns. ”
Xiao Yuxuan bowed slightly, "That's it." It was because the shopkeeper knew that Du's son had committed a great crime, so he persuaded Du to them: 'That family member of yours has committed a great crime, but Senior General Xue I Jun is very merciful, and he is extraordinarily kind to you and forgives you. In the future, you must take your family as a warning, and don't do anything illegal again. ’……”
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped the boat, urging Du Shi and them to get off the boat.
The Du family wanted to take that boat to Yancheng, even if their family was begging, they almost didn't kneel down to the shopkeeper. But the shopkeeper simply closed the door, closed the wooden window, and stopped looking at Du Shi and them.
Du Shi and the others stood on the shore in a daze, only to see that the boat was heading in the direction of Yancheng, and they were anxious to stomp their feet on the shore.
It was clear that they were going to Yancheng, but they deliberately didn't let them take it.
Du's family only has three taels of silver to use. In this case, if you want to take a boat to Yancheng, you can't.
In desperation, they had no choice but to walk to Yancheng with their feet.
On the way, Du Shi was reluctant to buy food, so when he was hungry, he would eat some dry food, and when he was thirsty, he would dig water in the river to drink, and he insisted on it all day.
One night, Du Shi was digging water by the river to drink, hungry with his chest against his back, and he was still very tired. She told her sons that she wanted to rest and rest before she went on her way.
Eating and drinking less, Du Shi was physically exhausted, and some could not keep up with the pace of her sons.
When Du's sons heard this, they were very obedient and all agreed.
Du Shi sat under an ancient willow by the river to rest, and was so sleepy that he fell asleep against the big tree.
About half an hour later, several female soldiers sent out by Junrou to inquire about the news happened to pass by the river. And those female soldiers saw that Du was pitiful, so they deliberately put a few Hu cakes next to Du Shi.
Zhao Boyuan, who was hiding in the pine forest not far away, saw that someone had brought food to the Du family, and he was afraid that he would be a wicked person, so he was not at ease. He ran all the way over and snorted coldly:
"It's not uncommon for us to take your things."
The female soldiers sent by Junrou, as soon as they saw Zhao Boyuan, they quickly remembered that this person was Zhao Zhuyi's father. Although Zhao Zhuyi did something illegal, Zhao Zhuyi's parents are still relatively regular.
The women explained that they were not wicked. But he didn't tell Zhao Boyuan clearly that they were all female soldiers around Junrou.
As soon as Zhao Boyuan heard about this, he thought that those female soldiers were all trained by veteran General Xue's army in recent years. After all, people in Yanzhou know that there are also female soldiers in the Xue family's army.
So Zhao Boyuan told the female soldiers that they wanted to go to Yancheng, but they had no money and no food......
When the female soldiers heard this, they didn't say a word, but gave ten taels of silver to Du's family.
When Xiao Yuxuan said this, she smiled mockingly and said, "I suspect that those female soldiers deliberately gave them money after knowing their identities from the Du family. Whether they gave them ten taels of silver, or lent them out, we can't ask. ”
The Du clan and their family were all beheaded because they had provided too much convenience for the Northern Crossbow Cultivators, and they had committed a major crime that was unforgivable.
Du's family is gone, who can they ask?
Lin Yue understood her mother's thoughts, and wanted to say that Jun Rou was not the same as the outside, and in terms of ruthlessness, he might not be much better than Qiu Lianmeng.
But she also knew in her heart that Jun Rou was a descendant of loyal ministers, and in front of her mother, she still tried not to say that Jun Rou was not. After thinking about it, he said:
"Mother, as long as we return the silver to Junrou, this matter will be considered in the past. Let's not think about it anymore. ”
Xiao Yuxuan nodded, "Okay." ”
Early the next morning.
Lin Yue got up early in the morning and heard a maidservant in Shangshu's Mansion say that someone had sent an invitation to her.
After Lin Yue took the invitation and opened it to look at it, he realized that this invitation was sent by Junrou's woman.
It seems that Jun Rou will not give up until she achieves her goal, so she has to snatch Lu Jingshuo from her hands?
Lin Yue put the invitation on the wooden table, and said lightly to the maidservant: "If the lord and the lady ask about this, you can say that it was sent by the lord of Lingyun." ”
In front of her biological parents, she didn't want to hide anything. If there are difficulties, it is good for everyone to face them together.
The maidservant said, "Yes, miss. ”
An hour later.
The maidservant girl came to the door of Lin Yue's room again and knocked on the door three times.
Lin Yue opened the door and said to the maid standing outside the door, "...... Did she send an invitation again? ”
"No," the maid shook her head, and said helplessly: "This time, it was the Lord of Lingyun who came by himself, right at the gate of Shangshu Mansion." She said she would wait for the young lady to come downstairs to meet her. If Miss doesn't go to see her, she'll keep waiting......"
Lin Yue smiled sarcastically, she stood in the warm room, listening to the wind crying wolves outside the house, and she could also know how cold it was outside.
In such a cold day, Jun Rou was a county lord, Jin Zhi Yuye, but in order to compete with her for Lu Jingshuo, he waited in the wind and snow.
Okay, as long as Junrou is willing to wait, she has no opinion.
Lin Yue smiled slyly and said to the maidservant:
"You don't have to worry about her, as long as she is willing to wait, and can keep waiting, you might as well let her wait longer."
