Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 89

"Yes, but girls can't wear old women's clothes. I'll give you my daughter-in-law's clothes!" Aunt Gu nodded with a smile.

"It turns out that the aunt has a son, so why didn't they live with the aunt?" Du Xiaoyue was puzzled. People here had a strong concept of family, but this was not the case for the Gu family. The son and the wife did not live together.

"Their young couple are doing business in the capital, and they come back once a month." Aunt Gu took Du Xiaoyue into the back room, found a gray-yellow linen dress, and looked at Du Xiaoyue with a little embarrassment, "We country people are fine. Good clothes, let’s just settle for some, girl!”

"Where, it looks good to me!" Du Xiaoyue was not very particular about these things, she was saying that it was really unsafe to go out alone and dress too brightly! "Thank you aunt! I came to disturb aunt early in the morning. I don't have anything to give to aunt. Take this as the money to buy me this dress!" Du Xiaoyue took off an earring, although the earring It's very plain, but the emerald pendant on it is not worth much.

"This..." Aunt Gu hesitated, rubbed the back of her hand lightly, and looked at Du Xiaoyue with some embarrassment.

"Auntie, just accept it!" Du Xiaoyue smiled and dragged Aunt Gu's hand, and put the earrings into her hand, "Actually, I want to ask Auntie to lend me an umbrella!" It's almost June On this day, the sun is very hot. In the absence of UV protection umbrellas and sunscreen products, having a paper umbrella is better than having nothing at all!

Aunt Gu also understood that what Du Xiaoyue said was a loan without repayment, so she took the earrings away and went out of the house to find an umbrella for Du Xiaoyue.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Gu, Du Xiaoyue walked aimlessly on the path in this village, her mind was blank, not knowing where she should go next.Near noon, I finally saw a small tea shop on the avenue.

I walked into the tea shop, ordered a few steamed buns and a bowl of tea, sat down and ate slowly, and at the same time, I was thinking about where to go next-I didn’t sleep all night last night, and today I walked for a while. On the road in the morning, I was tired and sleepy, and I really wanted to rest.

"Have you heard?" Guest A muttered to guest B at the same table in a low voice that could be heard by other guests, "Last night a thief came to the palace and stole a very important treasure. Now the emperor The capital has been sealed tightly, only entering and not exiting, and searches are being carried out from house to house."

"What baby?" Guest B asked curiously, while other guests also pricked up their ears.

"I don't know!" Guest A shook his head and said gossipingly, "Think about it, a baby that can make the emperor care so much must be very precious, and it must be worth a lot!"

Something is missing in the palace?Du Xiaoyue frowned lightly, maybe he found out that she was robbed!Well, it seems that he has to leave the suburbs of the capital as soon as possible, otherwise he didn't find it in the city, and he might go out of the city to continue searching.But where should I go?Now I have no money on me, only some jewelry. After spending all these things, what will I eat and use?
Just when Du Xiaoyue was at a loss, a jade-like voice sounded: "This girl, I want to share a table with you. Do you mind sitting down?"

Hearing the sound, he raised his head and looked at the person who came, it was a young gentleman scholar, facing each other with his arms folded, looking elegant, with two schoolboys behind him. "Okay, please sit down as you please." Du Xiaoyue smiled slightly, and glanced at the small tea shop from the corner of her eye - it turned out that it was already full, and this was the only vacant seat.

"Thank you, miss!" The scholar's face was a little red, this man and woman should have avoided the table, but unfortunately there is no other seat here, so they had to sit with the only girl in the tea shop.

"You're welcome!" Du Xiaoyue replied with a polite smile, guessing that the scholar probably blushed because he was at the same table with a woman!Oh, what an innocent scholar!She doesn't look like a certain person at all, she's just messing around every day... Uh, why are you thinking too far?The most urgent thing now is to sort out where to go!

"My lord, why are you in such a hurry? You see, it's so hot that even horses don't want to run!" the schoolboy in green clothes complained to the scholar.

"Siyi, the young master was ordered to return to his hometown, how can he delay the emperor's order?" Another book boy in gray clothes gave the book boy called Siyi a blank look, obviously thinking that Siyi's question was really stupid.

"Even if it is the emperor's order, human life must be taken care of!" Siyi was unconvinced, and looked back confidently with his chest upright, "Look at the hot day, the young master's face is almost exposed to the sun."

Ha, in this weather, even if you don't bask in the sun, you still have to sweat!Du Xiaoyue raised her lips slightly, smiled softly, and continued to bury her head in eating her buns and drinking tea. "Si B, Liu C, hurry up and eat, you have to rush on your way after eating! If you can't find the inn before the sun goes down, you will have to sleep on the main road tonight." Mr. Sven interrupted the conversation A dispute between two bookboys.

Inn?It seems that they are still a little familiar with this place, maybe talking to them can decide what to do next! "This young master, my family's surname is Su, and my name is Xiaoxiao." Du Xiaoyue spoke slowly, before she could say another word, she was interrupted by Siyi.

"Hey, girl, who cares what your surname is? What do you call my young master?" Siyi gave Du Xiaoyue a blank look, hum, his young master is good-looking, and there are many women who don't even want to be reserved to strike up a conversation.

"Siyi!" Mr. Ruya glared at Siyi, and then smiled apologetically to Du Xiaoyue, "Miss Su, Siyi is outspoken, and definitely does not mean to disrespect Miss Su."

"Hehe, it's okay! Mr. Siyi speaks so sweetly, Xiaoxiao appreciates it!" Du Xiaoyue smiled lightly, and also took the words readily, and inadvertently relieved Siyi who was full of displeasure, "Xiaoxiao introduced to Mr. Myself, I mainly want to ask the young master about one thing." Quickly stated my purpose, so as not to be misunderstood again.

"Girl, please tell me." Mr. Ruya smiled lightly, unfolded his fan and shook it lightly.

This little wind also made Du Xiaoyue, who was wearing airtight sackcloth, much more comfortable. "May I ask your surname, sir?" Du Xiaoyue clasped her hands and asked calmly. Just now, the two book boys said that he was ordered to return to his hometown, but Tan Wenhao hadn't heard much about which official he was going to send back to his hometown in the past few days.

"My surname is Mao." Mao Qiusheng replied with some hesitation. He suddenly felt a sense of pressure when talking to this little Su girl. There is no pretentiousness in her air of stability - it is really rare for a girl to be so calm when talking with a strange man.

Surname Mao?Du Xiaoyue rolled her eyes slightly, but she was thinking about who this Mao was.Suddenly I remembered that Hongsi mentioned last night that Tan Wenhao sent a number one scholar named Mao Qiusheng back to Cangyao to cure the drought, and gave him the method he wrote, and even prepared to let him meet with me, carefully Explain to him in detail what he doesn't understand.If this Mr. Mao was that Mao Qiusheng, then this matter would be much easier to handle. "Mr. Mao!" Du Xiaoyue raised her eyes, her eyes were calm, and she talked lightly in a homely way, "Xiaoxiao sounds like Mr. Mao's accent is from Cangyao!"

"Huh? Ms. Su is really amazing, she actually recognized all of this." Liu Bing accepted the words with a look of surprise on his face, "But Ms. Su doesn't have a Cangyao accent, how could she recognize this?"

"To be honest, my little uncle's family is from Cangyao." Su Xiaoxiao said with a breathless face, "Xiaoxiao once lived in Cangyao for a while, although Xiaoxiao couldn't make Cangyao I have learned my accent, but I can still hear it." Heh, since I know you are from Cangyao, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get along with you?

"Miss Su lived in Cangyao?" Siyi took the conversation with a smile. Because of what Du Xiaoyue said just now, Siyi had a good impression of this ordinary-dressed but extraordinary-spoken Miss Su.

"Yes!" Du Xiaoyue replied with a light smile, "Xiao Xiao once lived in Cangyao for two years, and now she is going back to Cangyao again!"

"Your Majesty is going on the road alone?" It may be that he met an old man in a foreign land, and Mao Qiusheng also has a sense of closeness to Du Xiaoyue.

"Xiaoxiao's parents have passed away, so she had no choice but to go to Cang Yao's relatives." Du Xiaoyue's face was solemn, and her voice lowered accordingly, "Xiaoxiao has no other relatives, so she had to go on the road alone."

"Does that girl know that Cangyao is not very peaceful now?" Mao Qiusheng believed in Su Xiaoxiao's words. She was dressed in plain linen clothes, she did not look like a daughter of a rich family, and she didn't have any valuable jewelry on her body, which showed her Sure enough, he couldn't live anymore, so he went to relatives.It's just that it's not very safe for her to be alone like this!
"I know, I heard about it." Du Xiaoyue nodded and sighed softly, "I heard that Cangyao is suffering from a drought, and many people are already unable to solve the problem. They are dying, fleeing, and even pitiful."

"Then why do you still want to go to Cangyao?" Mao Qiusheng was puzzled, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to find your relatives?"

"Well, this can't be called Huanghe's unwillingness to give up!" Du Xiaoyue lightly shrugged, "If I didn't look for it and gave up, I would regret it to death; but I did look for it, even if I didn't find it. You are worthy of your parents' entrustment. As for the young master, from the conversation between the young master and the book boy just now, the young master should be an official, and the young master should go to a certain place to take office."

How should Mao Qiusheng answer? This girl doesn't seem to be defensive at all, and she has almost covered her family affairs with just a few words; She was listening attentively to the conversation between Siyi and Liuc, and also made some analysis. What’s more, she had a weird view on finding relatives. It seemed that she didn’t care whether she could find relatives, but more like she was completing a certain task. Persevere regardless of the outcome.
