good meal

Chapter 21

With Gu's illness, things in the mansion were delayed, including Ding Xiang and Mama Du's second outing. Gu Shi didn't even see them, and only let Madam Du pass the word on her behalf, saying that there was something wrong. The mansion will help you buy what you need, if you have nothing to do, don't go out and run around.

Mama Du was not angry when she heard this, she took Mama Lin's hand and said: "What the princess said is that it is a pain to go out in this hot day." While speaking, she took off the silver bracelet on her hand and put it on Lin's mother said, "Mom is the celebrity in front of the princess. Now that the princess is sick, mother should take care of her health."

Mama Lin weighed the bracelet, it was indeed heavy, and a smile appeared on her face: "It's natural." Then she looked at Mama Du, since she gave such a heavy gift, this person should ask for it. Yes, but Mama Du led Ding Xiang back with just a few words of gossip.

This benefit was gained by just passing on a word. Mother Lin was secretly happy, and after the person left, she took out the bracelet, wiped it with a handkerchief and stuffed it into her bosom.Back in the room, Mrs. Gu asked, she said it nicely, and after she finished speaking, she felt that this was also a good deed to use people's money to eliminate disasters.

Ding Xiang also guessed that Mrs. Gu would not let them out so readily. Although she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help feeling anxious.She has no worries about food and clothing in the mansion, but her father and Dr. Jiang outside the mansion have problems with drinking water, how can she rest assured?
Mother Du's face darkened when she left Gu's yard, thinking to herself that Gu's family has been home for so many years, and she still looks petty.She was on fire in her heart, but when she saw that Ding Xiang was obviously worried and tried to remain calm, she could only sigh helplessly.The two returned to Chu Liangrao's room in silence all the way, Chu Liangrao guessed from the expressions on the faces of the two of them that this matter had not been done, but she lost her mind for a moment.

If she hadn't been grounded before, she could go anywhere, and it would be reasonable to bring along a maid by the way, but now, although Chu Chaoyang is close to her, he hasn't let go of the punishment of being grounded.Chu Liangrao vaguely guessed that the reason why Chu Chaoyang was restrained was not for punishment, but for protection.

Two months is neither long nor short, but the two months in the drought have a different meaning.

Now that Mrs. Gu has suffered from being dumb, Chu Liangrao disdains her behavior of venting her anger on a maid, but she also knows that no matter what, Mrs. Gu still holds the power of the family, and if the relationship is too tense, it will only be detrimental to her side .As a result, he was negligent.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao didn't speak for a long time, Ding Xiang was agitated, but soon she calmed down.The princess has done enough for her, she has no reason to ask for more.

Chu Liangrao lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Ding Xiang, tell me about the day you left the mansion again."

"Yes." Ding Xiang cheered up and said it again seriously. During the period, Chu Liangrao asked a few detailed questions, and she explained them clearly one by one.

Chu Liangrao thought, now that a bucket of water outside is sold for two taels of silver, it is very suspicious that there is not only water in the palace, but also ice.What is even more concerning is that the grain store has been closed, but the palace still has meat and vegetables every day. How can it be affected by the drought?

If there was surplus food in the mansion, why did Chu Chaoyang refuse to open a warehouse for disaster relief?
An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. Having surplus food in the palace is tantamount to putting himself in the limelight. Could it be that Chu Chaoyang doesn't know this?
The court has not responded for a long time, is it really difficult or has other ideas?

One question after another made Chu Liangrao unable to think about it, so he could only make a bold assumption, that is, Chu Chaoyang deliberately put himself in a dangerous situation, in order to dispel the suspicion of the Holy One, and only in this way can he exchange the real long-term benefits for the people. Rescue.If Chu Chaoyang opened a storehouse for disaster relief at this time, his reputation would definitely increase, and with the military achievements he made, his achievements would be overwhelming...

As Chu Liangrao thought about it, a chill rose from the soles of his feet.

I'm afraid that the Holy Majesty will not take any action until the day when the palace is hit by disaster.

In order to verify his thoughts, Chu Liangrao said to Ding Xiang, "Come with me."

Without further ado, Ding Xiang followed her out of the house, remembering that Chu Liangrao was still unable to go out during the confinement period, she persuaded: "It's fine if the princess can't go out, don't make the prince angry because of slaves..."

"It's okay." Chu Liangrao said, "I'm just walking around in my yard." Having said that, Chu Liangrao went straight to the gate of the yard when he left the house.

Ding Xiang bit the bullet and followed, thinking to herself that if Chu Liangrao really wanted to rush over for her, then she would have to fight her life to pull Chu Liangrao back.Unexpectedly, just as she was wiping the sweat from her palms and preparing to do something, Chu Liangrao stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

The gatekeeper at the gate saw Chu Liangrao hastily saluted, and then divided them into half, blocking the exit tightly.

Chu Liangrao scanned the faces of the two of them, and found that the two were indeed new faces, and compared to the previous sects, the two looked much stronger.Moreover, his expression is vigilant and his attitude is correct. He is not at all like the doorman who would eat melon seeds when he was free.

Seeing this, Ding Xiang stepped forward and said to Chu Liangrao, "Princess, that's all, let's go back."

Chu Liangrao looked back at Ding Xiang, then at the two newcomers with heavy backs, and seemed to have a mental struggle before saying, "Well, go back to the house."

Seeing the princess returned to the house, the two gatekeepers did not let out a sigh of relief, they still stood straight in front of the gate.

Chu Liangrao stood in the courtyard and looked around again, walked a few times as if taking a stroll in the courtyard, and then returned to the house.

Ding Xiang followed for a while, completely stupefied, she had no idea what Chu Liangrao was thinking, but she could see that Chu Liangrao did not become relaxed after entering the room, instead, his expression became a little more dignified.

It was the first time Ding Xiang saw Chu Liangrao's serious expression.

"Princess, but what's wrong in the yard?" Ding Xiang asked.

Chu Liangrao nodded and said, "These two newly replaced doors are too strong. I estimated that the chances of running away from them are not high. The courtyard wall is too high, and I can't seem to get over it... "

After a long time, she still wanted to go out, Ding Xiang couldn't help laughing, and her nervous mood improved a lot.

In fact, Chu Liangrao didn't tell the truth, because she found that besides the two new people, there were more people in the yard.Even though these people hid it well, on such a hot day, no matter how hard they hid it, they couldn't hide the smell of sweat.However, because of the scattered people, the smell was not strong, and the cloves could not be smelled. If Chu Liangrao hadn't observed it deliberately, he would not have found this clue.

After all, all the servants in the yard are women, and there are so many big men suddenly, if you tell the truth, I'm afraid they will be shocked.And if Chu Chaoyang finds out, I'm afraid that he will really be exposed.

At this moment, Chu Liangrao could already conclude that the reason why Chu Chaoyang grounded her was for protection, and obviously someone would be detrimental to the palace, as for whether it was a refugee or someone else, it was hard to say.

But can these people arranged really protect the people in the yard?

For a moment, Chu Liangrao thought of her vegetable garden space again. Except for the first time she went in, she never went in again, and she didn't know what was going on inside.In fact, Chu Liangrao thought about using the vegetables in the space garden to do good deeds more than once, but she knew that if she did so, no one would regard her as a savior, but only as a fairy.

The premise of doing good deeds is self-protection, Chu Liangrao understood Chu Chaoyang's helplessness at this moment.
