good meal

Chapter 30 Departing for Beijing
On the second day, each room loaded all the things to be brought into the car, and just waited for the departure.

The whole family had a meal together, Chu Chaoyang emphasized on safety, and said a lot to Chu Liangrao.Gu Shi looked on coldly like an outsider, and finally said with a smile: "I have to rest well tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep comfortably when I leave the city."

"Daughter-in-law is right, you will be exhausted before you are in good health, hey." The old lady sighed and flicked the prayer beads in her hand.

These words seem to be concerned, but they are actually telling Gu Shi not to hold everyone back. Gu Shi looked slightly different, and said with a smile: "It is a great blessing for a daughter-in-law to have her mother-in-law care. She is young, but she is not afraid of the fatigue of the journey."

Hearing that Mrs. Gu turned the corner and said that she was old, the old lady twitched her lips, but she didn't fight with Mrs. Gu after all.

Chu Liangrao was still thinking about how profound the old lady's skill is, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. In fact, Qin's husband died young, and his only son made a name for himself, and married a virtuous and filial Yu Shi wife.Apart from suppressing her daughter-in-law, who has always had her eyes above the top, she has never seen the real gunpowder in the inner house.Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, Yu Shi left Chu Liangrao behind and left. Gu Shi, who had been in the big family since childhood, also showed his true colors.

It's no wonder that the old lady wants to focus on Buddha. Gu's scheming is certainly not comparable to her, and Chu Liangrao didn't recognize her as a grandmother at all before.As for Chu Chaoyang, although he is filial, he is a big man no matter what, so he shouldn't be involved.In this way, the old lady has nothing to do except chant scriptures and worship Buddha.

No matter how the old lady was emptied of her real power, she was the elder of the family after all, and no matter how disagreed with her, Mrs. Gu would be scruples about filial piety.So Chu Liangrao didn't feel that she had found the wrong person just because the old lady said that she couldn't match Gu. After all, the old lady had helped her a lot, and she probably needed more in the future, so she joined in when the old lady couldn't save face. past.

Seeing Chu Liangrao looking at her with sparkling eyes, the old lady felt a little relieved, and talked to Chu Liangrao without saying a word.

Seeing that their grandparents and grandchildren were getting close, Mrs. Gu felt disdainful, and only said that she still needed to check for any omissions, so she resigned.Chu Chaoyang sat for a while and went back to the room. Mrs. Gu watched the depression in his heart dissipate in the past few days after returning to the room, and the husband and wife reunited. The only pity was Chunyu who waited outside the study all night.

After a night passed, before dawn, the servants in the mansion got busy, put the reins on the flatterers, counted the luggage, and waited for the masters to wake up before they could set off.Gu Shi and Chu Chaoyang also got up early, and then the old lady and Chu Liangrao got up separately.

The carriage outside the door was ready, except for the occasional snort of the horse, there was no extra sound.

The fish-belly white in the distant sky is rendered gorgeous by the sun jumping out of the horizon, casting a layer of dazzling gold on the earth.The air seemed to be ignited by a stove. The sweltering weather was a little scorching hot, and the occasional wind blew up the heat, which only made people feel more impetuous.

Chu Liangrao, who had eaten too early, tugged on his collar, grabbed the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.This is a hot dog before leaving the house. If you really go on the road, you won't be sure how uncomfortable it will be.

Mrs. Gu, who had counted things, got into the carriage with the support of Mama Lin. She glanced at the other two empty carriages and asked, "What is the princess still dawdling about? Get someone to hurry you up."

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Lin replied, and called a young servant to ask questions.

After waiting for a while, Chu Liangrao came out with the people in the room, talked to Chu Chaoyang and got into the carriage.Mother Lin and Chu Liangrao were in one car, and the other car was crowded with four maids and a cook.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chu Chaoyang ordered to set off.

Sitting in the carriage, one could clearly hear the sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs, and after a while, he heard noisy human voices. Chu Liangrao opened the curtain a little and saw that there were already standing on both sides of the street where no one was seen in the past. Few people.

"King Mingyang is going to abandon us! He took his wife and children to seek refuge, what should we do?" There was a clear cry from the crowd, and immediately the dissatisfied crowd seemed to be boiling. Every word I say is a personal attack.

"These troublemakers! What nonsense are you talking about..." Mama Du gritted her teeth. Chu Liangrao glanced at her and pursed her lips, "Mom, what these people say is true." It's just that someone took the opportunity to intensify everyone's emotions. That's why people vent their dissatisfaction like this.

Chu Liangrao lowered the curtain and sighed quietly.She could still hide in the car, but what about Chu Chaoyang on the horse?At this time, no one among the angry people remembered Chu Chaoyang's military achievements, no one remembered his good intentions, and no one understood the suffering in the heart of the prince.

But what can he do?Defy the imperial decree?I'm afraid that not only Chu Chaoyang's head will fall, but Pingyuan County will be starved to death.No one knows about all of this, and no one can speak out.

Biting his lower lip, Chu Liangrao felt that these words were like a blunt knife cutting his heart.

The guarding officers and soldiers tried their best to stop these frenzied civilians. Chu Chaoyang knew that if he procrastinated, something would happen before he left the city, so he whipped his horse and sped forward.The whole team followed closely, the carriage accelerated suddenly and was jolted violently, Chu Liangrao grabbed the window and remained silent.

It didn't know how long it took for the team to slowly slow down, Chu Liangrao heaved a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that he didn't eat much in the morning, otherwise he would probably get motion sickness at this time.

"Huh!" Seeing that the car in front stopped, the coachman tightened the reins to stabilize the horse.

"What's wrong?" Mother Du asked when she saw the car stopped.

"Master Jiang is here to pick us up." The coachman raised his eyes and frowned, "But why did Master Jiang bring such a manpower?"

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao opened the curtain again, and looked around, only to see Master Jiang, who was wearing an official uniform, talking to Chu Chaoyang, and there were only a dozen or so people behind him.Seeing these people, Chu Chaoyang was not surprised, and only nodded to let them join the team.

Seeing this scene, Chu Liangrao thought, this Lord Jiang is obviously the emperor's man.There were dozens of people in the palace, but he only brought a dozen people to protect him, which seemed deliberate no matter how you looked at it.Obviously the emperor didn't want Chu Chaoyang to enter the capital safely, that's why he made such an arrangement.

Thinking of this, Chu Liangrao was very dissatisfied with the emperor's old man whom she had never met, but she also knew that suspicion was a necessary mental illness for the current ruler.But Chu Liangrao just couldn't understand him, why would people ruin his life for your suspicion?
