good meal

Chapter 33
After resting for half a day, the sun that had finally set in the west reluctantly set down the mountain. Before the heat on the ground dissipated, several attendants untied the carriage one by one.Ding Er went to visit the surroundings as usual, and reported to Chu Chaoyang when he came back, and then Chu Chaoyang went into the temple to invite the old lady.

I saw Chu Liangrao kneeling beside the old lady's table, nodding her head, obviously extremely sleepy.

Seeing Chu Chaoyang coming in, Shu'er came over and bowed and said in a low voice, "My lord."

"Did the princess not rest?" Chu Chaoyang also asked in a low voice.

"The old madam was dimpled just now, the princess talked with her for a long time, and then fell asleep for a while." Shu'er felt emotional in his heart, if it wasn't for Chu Liangrao this time, the servant girls might have to go back to the city.

Chu Chaoyang knew why the old lady couldn't sleep well, and he was afraid that his unfilial behavior just now had shocked his mother.If it wasn't for Chu Liangrao's company, the guilt in his heart would only be stronger. He raised his head and looked at Gu Shi who was smiling at him, feeling depressed for a while.

Seeing Chu Chaoyang glance at her, Mrs. Gu turned her gaze away. She felt a little worried, but she still smiled and walked towards Chu Chaoyang and said, "My lord, it's time to start? This concubine is calling mother to get up."

"En." Chu Chaoyang nodded slightly, and said calmly, "Be quick while the sky is still bright." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the temple.

Seeing the differences between the husband and wife, Mother Lin didn't care about presumptuousness, she said to Gu Shi: "After all, it is the prince's mother, the princess should take care of face, and now the princess is in the prince's eyes..."

Gu Shi was disdainful in her heart, but she also knew that this was the case, so she gently asked the old lady and Chu Liangrao to get up.

Helping the old lady to bed, Mrs. Gu said to Chu Liangrao: "Ah Rao hasn't closed her eyes all day, she should go back to her car and have a good rest, she can't burn herself out."

"What mother said is true." Chu Liangrao said obediently, raised his head and said, "It's just that grandma is not feeling well, Ah Rao can't abandon her filial piety and sit idly by, and hope mother will be lenient."

It is clear inside and out that Mrs. Gu only cares about herself and doesn't know how to take care of her elders. If Mrs. Gu wants to stop her, wouldn't she really be an unfilial person.Looking at Chu Liangrao's fair face, she said with a slight smile, "Ah Rao is really sensible now, but I was too worried. If that's the case, let Mama Lin help me take care of her."

"Mother Lin is the person in front of my mother's eyes. My daughter doesn't dare to take advantage of others. With Mama Du here, you can rest assured, mother."

Mrs. Gu was about to say something, when she saw Chu Chaoyang turn over on the horse with a whip in his hand, and looked up at him, Mrs. Gu gave up and helped Mama Lin into the carriage by herself.

Chu Liangrao also got into the car and sat beside the old lady, and Mama Du got into the car right after her.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet completely dark, Chu Chaoyang picked up his speed as he wanted to hurry.This was a pain for the old lady, she hadn't fully recovered yet, and she was turned upside down again.Not only the old lady was like this, but even Chu Liangrao couldn't bear it, and one of them couldn't sit still and almost knocked his head on the car window. Fortunately, Mama Du had quick eyesight and grabbed her, which saved her from a big bag.

The old lady was very distressed, she took Chu Liangrao's hand and said: "You child, you want to take care of me, an old woman, but I have caused you trouble."

"Where is the grandmother talking?" Chu Liangrao saw that the old lady's forehead inlaid with sheep fat jade was crooked, raised her hand to straighten it for her, and said, "There is nothing wrong with the family."

Having said that, the old lady was still sad for a while. She was sick, her son was thinking about the overall situation, and her daughter-in-law was doing superficial work. Only her granddaughter, who usually didn't care about her, sincerely hoped for her well-being.Comparing my heart to my heart, I am far worse than this granddaughter.

Thinking about it, the old lady took Chu Liangrao's hand and said: "You are a sensible child, you are really a grandmother's caring padded jacket." Then she asked, "What time is it?"

"It's time to go back to the old lady." Mother Du said.

In summer, the dawn is early and the night is late. Although it is Wushi, the sky is not yet dark, but because the Wangfu and his party are heading east, the half of the sky in the west is not very useful.The carriages stopped again, hung up their lights, and then continued their journey.

For several days, the palace rested during the day and traveled at night. Apart from the old lady, several weak servant girls also showed symptoms of dehydration.Seeing that there were more and more sick people, Mr. Jiang told Chu Chaoyang that it would be better to rest for a day, and if he hurried on his way, even the iron-clad people would not be able to catch them.

Chu Chaoyang didn't seem to hear it, which made Mr. Jiang very annoyed, but he still did enough superficial work.

Right now, the water provided by the palace is being used up quickly. If more people in the team want to survive, finding a truly safe resting place is the most important thing.On the contrary, there was a lot of food left, even Chu Liangrao could only eat two bites occasionally for a few days, and couldn't eat one more bite.

Now the number of disaster victims encountered on the road is obviously less than that of the previous two days. Taking advantage of this time to hurry up will add vitality.

Compared with the misery of the female relatives, the accompanying men are much better, but there are exceptions, and that is Mama Lin's son Xiaosi.You must know that Lin Xiaosi has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he asked the princess for this grace, but it became Xiaosi's life-threatening talisman.Mother Lin couldn't leave because she had to take care of Princess Gu. Even though she was in a hurry, she couldn't take a look at her son.

Mrs. Gu also felt very uncomfortable, so she couldn't care less about Lin Xiaosi, and asked her to just be ignorant of Lin's hints and pretend to be stupid.

In the end, it was Ma Si's family who looked at Lin Xiaosi pitifully and helped take care of her for two days, so that Mother Lin was relieved.

Lin Xiaosi's health improved, and he even regarded Ma Si's family as his relatives. At this time, his own mother didn't care about him, and Ma Si's help was tantamount to giving charcoal in a timely manner. Lin Xiaosi was very grateful, and naturally He is much closer to the Ma family.

At first Ma Si's family only listened to Chu Liangrao's order to help out, but in the end they really felt sorry for this thin child. Xiao Si is not a bad person, and privately told Ma Si's family that if the county If the Lord needs him, he must come to him.

After driving for several days, Chu Liangrao's spirit was also very weak. After listening to Ma Si's family talking about this matter, it took her a while to realize how much help she had received.But right now she doesn't pay attention to this issue, what makes her more concerned is, since the imperial court has sent people to relieve the disaster, why haven't they seen even a figure in official uniform in the past few days?

Is power really so important that the emperor can ignore the people in dire straits?Or did the disaster relief team encounter an accident on the way?Either way, it wasn't what she wanted to see.
