capital girl

Chapter 35

Meng Shiyu felt complicated when he saw that post. It seems that the third prince has not completely forgotten her.

"Daddy, why did you post this message for you?" Li Yulou asked Li Xu with a hint of worry in his heart.

"It is said that I am a celebrity in Xiuzhou, and I have trained many students for Xiuzhou. Now there is a doctor from the Ministry of Households and a doctor from the Ministry of Rites..."

Li Xu began to count how many officials he had trained in Xiuzhou in the past 20 years.

Li Yulou was tired of hearing such words, and interrupted Li Xu, "Father, if the third prince is too enthusiastic towards you, you must keep calm, be careful of sugar-coated bullets, don't sell me your daughter, I don't want to marry the Third Highness as a concubine."

"How come, His Highness is graceful and talented, those students agreed that day and would not make such a rude request, not to mention, how could His Highness fall in love with you..." Li Xu said seriously.

Li Yulou, "What do you think about Shi Yu?"

"Meng Shiyu never talks..." Li Xu said.

"I believe Shi Yu's point of view, Daddy, you should also be more sober." Li Yulou solemnly instructed him, then turned around and left the study, and returned to his own room.

As soon as she sat down, she was about to draw two patterns to use on the newly woven fabric, when Zhou Ying flew in happily like a bird, shaking the handkerchief in her hand, "Yulou..."

"Master Wu made you happy?" Li Yulou sarcastically asked.

Zhou Ying was not annoyed either, but was a little bit shy, "Why, I just ignore him..."

"Really, I'm going to tell Mr. Wu that you ignored him." Li Yulou smiled.

"Oh, that's fine, let me tell you..." Zhou Ying had a happy smile on her face, "He promised me that he would wait for my brother Qiuwei before going to the capital..."

"If brother doesn't win, we'll get married here ahead of time. If brother wins, we'll go to the capital first and get married in the capital..." Zhou Ying confessed her plan to Li Yulou.

Li Yulou said, "This is all based on your thoughts..."

"That's..." Zhou Ying was so proud that her jaw almost went up to the sky.

"Okay, don't come here again next time, just cry and call Mr. Wu a heartless person..." Li Yulou laughed teasingly.

Zhou Ying patted Li Yulou awkwardly.

"By the way, you absolutely don't know about this..." Zhou Ying's eyes brightened.

Li Yulou could tell from her appearance that she knew some secret gossip.

She didn't ask either, just looked at her with enough interest.

"Xie Jianzhang's leg was broken," Zhou Ying said.

"By whom..." Li Yulou blurted out and asked, after all, there were not many people in Xiuzhou who dared to offend Xie's family.

"Master Xie, I heard that it was just because he reconciled with his original wife and wanted to marry you. This time, Master Xie was cruel." Zhou Ying said it so clearly that it would be hard for you not to believe it.

However, Li Yulou still didn't quite believe that Mr. Xie would do something to break his son's legs.

"By the way, is your brother going to visit Taihu Lake tomorrow?" Li Yulou asked.

"Go..." Zhou Ying looked at Li Yulou, "Yulou, it's not like you've received another post this time!"

Li Yulou nodded, "Got it!"

"I knew that being the chief of the textile competition was so good, I would try it too..." Zhou Ying said.

Li Yulou giggled, "Your family is a brewer, and you can win the championship if there is a brewing competition."

Zhou Ying sighed, "What you said is also..."

Li Yulou actually wanted to know if Meng Shiyu would also go, and now it seemed certain.

This time the third prince was playing the sign of making friends with students from Liangzhe Road. Chunhui College is also very famous in Liangzhe Road, not to mention Meng Shiyu and Chunwei took Xieyuan again.

It's just that she was a little worried about Miss Cao. That day in the imperial concubine's house, she clearly saw Cao Xiu pestering Meng Shiyu.

Seeing Meng Shiyu in the courtyard next door that day, he was completely confused, and forgot to ask how he and Cao Xiu met, and she was also staring at him.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhou Ying asked seeing Li Yulou's restless look.

"Tomorrow is supposed to be my little day. I'm worried that my stomach will hurt if I go out, but I still can't refuse..." Li Yulou frowned.

"Your childhood was indeed a bit noisy, get your stove ready, put more things on your waist, and bear with it for a day!" Zhou Ying suggested with concern.

Li Yulou humbly agreed to his friend's wishes.

In the early morning of the second day, the little day did not come, Li Yulou was very lucky, and went out in a carriage.

The actions of the imperial concubine and the third prince were generous every time. The streets of Xiuzhou City were bustling with each other, and there was a traffic jam at the gate of the city when they left the city.

After leaving the city, we walked for about half an hour before approaching Taihu Lake.

The government has prepared many boats at the wharf of Taihu Lake.

Li Yulou didn't know where these boats came from, but she heard that the Taihu Lake was brightly lit every night, maybe they were recruited from those flower boats and then improved.

The carriage stopped at the special parking spot, and this time was the same as last time, Chuntao still couldn't follow and could only stay in the carriage.

Her father came with the students from Chunhui College.

Li Yulou got off the carriage, looked around, and saw a few female relatives, whom she had seen in the imperial concubine's mansion last time.

This time, there seemed to be no surprise in the other party's eyes, but more disgust, because the other party gave her a hard stare.

"Miss, Mrs. Tang should take it with her, what if she comes?" Chuntao said worriedly.

"Mrs. Tang is too big, I have no place to take it!" Li Yulou said worriedly.

"You take this bag, put Mrs. Tang in it, and you'll be on the boat in a while, and the lady will put this on the boat." Chuntao stuffed the bag into Li Yulou's arms.

Li Yulou had no choice but to leave the carriage with his bag and go to the pier.

There were many female relatives waiting by the pier, none of whom Li Yulou was familiar with, so she found a secluded place to stand quietly.

There are a lot of people here, and the people in the government office are arranging the boats. The big boats need to take more people, and the small boats have fewer people.

Xiuzhou is a water town, and Li Yulou is no stranger to taking a boat, and she doesn't get seasick, but she doesn't know who she will sit on a boat with, because none of these female relatives seem to like her very much.

For those ladies from rich and noble families, a business woman like her who needs to show her face to make a living is really indiscreet and does not meet the standards of a good woman in their hearts.

While Li Yulou was looking towards the front of the pier, a voice suddenly rang in his ears, "You are a girl from Yulou..."

Li Yulou turned his head and looked in the direction of the source of the sound. The woman was standing beside her. She was a little taller than her, with a round face, high cheekbones, broad forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was no smile on her face, and she was somewhat heroic. It's a little serious.

Li Yulou nodded subconsciously. With the other's expression, she thought it was someone she had offended again, and looked at him carefully.
