Chapter 264: The noble girl

The girl was wearing plain white clothes, looking like a servant's clothing, but her skin was tender and tender, and she was not as humble as a slave. She knelt on the ground, with big eyes on her face, looking at Chu Yu, crying and unable to speak.

Although Chu Yu didn't know why this girl was like this, he was also frightened by the sudden appearance of a new person in the kitchen and looked at the county magistrate's wife Wang with a little puzzled understanding.

Wang was very hesitant for a while, looked at the girl on the ground in embarrassment, and then looked at Chu Yu. Fang hesitated and said: "This is Du Xian'er, the second girl from the Du family in the west of the city, who is here to find the princess to plead with her!"

"Du Family in the West of the City" Chu Yu's expression faded after hearing these four words, and his brows frowned slightly. He stopped looking at the girl on the ground and said to Wang: "Wang Anren, are there red beans in the kitchen?"

Because Wang is a sixth-grade person according to his husband's current grade, he is called Chu Yu like this.

Wang was stunned when he heard this. Xicai was by his side, afraid that Chu Yu would be impatient to wait, so he asked: "Wang Anren, Princess asked you if there are red beans in the kitchen?"

Wang hurriedly looked at the cook. The cook pointed to the north wall of the kitchen and said, "Yes, let me put it in the basket and hang it there!"

Chu Yu nodded and said to Wang: "I want to make some food for my husband. The kitchen is narrow. If there is nothing to do, can I take this girl down first?"

After all, he is the royal noble girl, Heshuo Princess, and Chu Yu is just wearing plain clothes, but when he speaks, he makes people feel fearful.

Wang Shiyuan thought she was young and shy, and looked at her kindness again. Besides, the Taoist Master woke up and had no worries about his life, thinking that she must be easy to talk to. Therefore, Fang was soft-hearted and asked the girl to come to see Chu Yu. Unexpectedly, the princess had no intention of dealing with it. He thought that he was very resentful to the Du family.

She was already very regretful and complained that she was so confused that she could not hold back the little girl's crying. Speaking of which, Du Xian'er's mother, Chen, was the niece of the Wang family in Rizhao, and wanted to call Wang a cousin. Therefore, in Mengyin County, the two families had some contacts earlier.

If Zhao Wenhe hadn't heard that the Du family's daughter was outstanding and begged the magistrate's brother-in-law to be a matchmaker, the Du family would have been to marry the Liang family. Because of this, Liang Shunzheng and Du Xiong were also a little unhappy, but the female relatives of the two families occasionally walked around.

After hearing Chu Yu's words, Wang did not dare to say anything more. After responding, he wanted to pull Du Xian'er down. Du Xian'er struggled two steps in front of Chu Yu and cried, "Princess is merciful. Even if it is to pay for his life, many people died in our Du family. Not to mention the shocking horse trampling, two servants died. Today, there is no housekeeper, even my sister, and he died because of this! The princess is also born by her parents. Even if your husband is extremely noble, she has no worries about life. Do you have to see that my Du family has destroyed the whole family before she can relieve her hatred? My younger brother is only seven years old, so he has no great sins, so he will arrest him!?"

Although Du Xian'er tried her best to restrain herself, she was not old after all, and she couldn't help but show resentment when she spoke. In the end, she was already questioning her voice.

These words were filled with several meanings. Some Chu Yu knew, while others even sounded confused. However, she did not have the intention to ask Du Xian'er in detail.

Chu Yu didn't believe it, such as "destroying the entire Du family" and "catching his young brother". Others don't know her husband's temper, but she doesn't know yet? Where is the kind of cruel person? Or is there any misunderstanding that makes the Du family scared and lose their composure.

Although I knew that Du Xian'er might have misunderstood something, Chu Yu was not interested in asking. He just wanted to make a bowl of porridge with his own hands to let her husband fill his stomach.

Even if Cao Yong is not the one who decides the matter outside, he will not lose his composure with Mr. Zhuang.

Du Xian'er accidentally listened to her parents' words, changed her clothes, quietly beat Dujiazhuang and sneaked out, following her younger brother to see him off.

Unexpectedly, she witnessed the scene of Du An and her younger brother being taken away. She wanted to go back and tell her parents, but she thought that her parents were like that, so she was afraid she didn't have the courage to compete with that magistrate. So she came to the county government with the courage to find her cousin Wang to make an idea.

Because Cao Yong and Chu Yu were there, the door was tightly guarded. It was just that Wang sent the maid and the chef to buy vegetables. Du Xian'er blocked the maid. The two of them changed their clothes and sneaked in.

Wang just heard about Du Zhen'er's tragic death, and heard that even Du Jie, who was a few years old, could not help but feel compassion and gave Du Xian'er this idea.

Seeing Chu Yu ignore him, Du Xian'er was so sad and angry that her eyes were full of resentment, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You are so cruel, relying on your power, treating human life like a mustard. God has eyes, and you will be punished..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped heavily on his face, his body staggered and fell to the ground.

Chu Yu raised his chin slightly, looked at her with a frost face, and said coldly: "My adult is so arrogant that even if I can't say that I can save the world, I will also have blessings to the millions of Yizhou people. How can I allow people to slander them wantonly!"

Du Xian'er covered her mouth and was already fooled, looking at Chu Yu blankly and couldn't speak.

After Chu Yu finished speaking, Fang Pingfu Pingfu was angry and said to Xicai: "Go to find Zhang Yi and Zhao Tong and ask them how to guard the door? If someone with bad intentions comes in and hurts the adults, they still want their lives!"

Xicai agreed, but refused to take a step forward. Because the girl was known to Wang, she was afraid that it would be inappropriate to leave Chu Yu alone in the kitchen, so she advised: "Prince, you go back to the house first, and I will go to pass the message, and then come back to cook and eat?"

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "You are awake. Your stomach is empty. You have to make some porridge for him as soon as possible!"

Seeing her just now, Wang's voice was heard again when she heard her gentle whisper at this moment, she couldn't help but smack her tongue and whisper to Du Xian'er: "Stop making trouble, follow me out!"

Du Xian'er suddenly sat on the ground, let go of her voice, and started crying like a desperate and sad child.

When Chu Yu saw that she was still sharp-tongued just now, she was like a scoundrel child, and she couldn't help but feel angry and funny.

Xicai couldn't see it and stepped forward and said, "You little girl, it's unreasonable! My husband is the imperial official, but now he can only lie on the bed. Which one is the fault? Can you just sprinkle some golden beans to put the country's laws on nothing? If that's the case, wouldn't even a cat and a dog bare the teeth at my husband tomorrow? How many legs can be broken? If this looks at it, I'm afraid that only the saint can reincarnate can become the 'merciful person' in your little girl's mouth!"

When Xicai finished speaking, someone chuckled softly. When she turned around, she saw Xiyun laughing while holding the door frame.

Xicai was a little embarrassed by her smile, and was a little dissatisfied, and muttered, "What? Could it be that I have something wrong?"

Xi Yun said to Chu Yu first: "Prince, when the prince heard something wrong here, he sent me to take a look. It turned out that someone rushed in, would he need to call her to take her down?"

Chu Yu looked at Du Xian'er who was gradually closing the sound on the ground and said, "The right and wrong are self-justified, and crying is useless!" At this point, he explained to Xicai: "You go to the front yard and say something, and ask Zhang Yi to take a few people and send this girl back!"

Du Xian'er looked at Chu Yu's calm face, thinking about her cold and arrogance just now, and felt a little regretful. She wiped her tears honestly, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Chu Yu, and said, "Princess, please remember that Xian'er is young and ignorant, don't care about Xian'er's crime of lyrics. I'll go home now and dare not make trouble anymore! But my young brother is young, so I'm afraid he's already scared. If it's convenient for the princess, please take care of him..." At the end of his speech, he was already full of tears and could not speak.

After hearing this, Chu Yu nodded and signaled that he knew.

Du Xian'er stood up, prayed with her eyes, and turned around and went out with Wang and Xicai.

There were only the cook, Chu Yu and Xi Yun in the kitchen. The cook saw Du Xian'er feeling so pitiful that he thought Chu Yu was too cruel, but how could he dare to show it? With a little diligent attitude, he hit the north wall and took down the bamboo basket containing red beans, and asked Chu Yu: "Grandma, look, this is the newly red beans this autumn. It is great to make bean buns and make porridge!"

Chu Yu was stunned, a little dazed.

The cook saw Chu Yu not saying anything, thinking that she didn't believe her, so he hurriedly said, "I won't lie, this tastes really good!"

Seeing that Chu Yu's expression was wrong, Xiyun was a little worried and asked in a low voice: "Prince, but I feel uncomfortable? These days, Prince has been hard-working!"

Chu Yu woke up, shook his head, and said, "It's not because of this, but because he was thinking about it, I feel something is wrong! By the way, when you came out, did Mr. Zhuang still talk to the prince in the room?"

Xiyun replied: "It's been a long time since I was away. It's like I'm looking for Mr. Wei, and Mr. Wei has gone to the front yard!"

Chu Yu thought about the fact that the youngest son of the Du family was tied up, which was not like Mr. Zhuang's behavior, but he didn't know why, which one of them arrested the child. Not to mention that she was awkward to hear it, I think even Cao Yong knew it, he would not feel relieved.

*

In the main room, Cao Yong was a little bored. He couldn't sleep. Although he was a little hungry, he just drank a bowl of soup and used two pieces of red date cake, which was half full.

After hearing about the matter in Qianya, Mr. Zhuang and Wei Hei went out, Chu Yu went to the kitchen again, and he looked at the roof alone in a daze. I don’t know if it was his unlucky or Du Xiong’s unlucky, but for no reason, these changes actually arose.

If he was so troubled by this, Cao Yong would not be soft-hearted. He just remembered that Xiaoman came to pass the message and said that it was Du Xiong's son. Why is this matter more and more complicated?

Did he panic and wanted to send his son away? Or was it because of other reasons? Cao Yong couldn't think of it, and he thought about the woman who had just heard vaguely, but he couldn't hear it. Who was crying? But he knew that it was not Chu Yu in his heart, so he was not worried, just waiting for the news that Xiyun had visited.

*

In the front office of Mengyin County, the county magistrate Liang Shun gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He looked at Mr. Zhuang, whose face was gloomy and clear, hoping that there would be fewer changes.

Du Xiong was the same. Just as he was thinking that he was pitiful and had a wealth of money, he made these troubles again. Didn’t this force the Taotai Mansion to deal with him earlier?

But I don’t know where Du Xiong wants to send his son? Is it the Rizhao Wang family or other relatives? In the past two months, although Du Xiong has obtained the position of the clan leader, he has offended many relatives and has not been close to any clan.

If you go to the Wang family and are found out by the people from the Daotai Mansion, you may be suspicious of yourself. That would be really bad. Thinking of this, you will feel that although the matter in front of you is a little troublesome, it is a good thing.

Thinking in his heart, Liang Shunzheng couldn't help but look at Mr. Zhuang's hand.

What Mr. Zhuang was holding was the letter Du Xiong gave to Du Ping.

After unpacking the fire seal, Mr. Zhuang's face became more and more gloomy after reading the letter. He looked at the envelope and looked at the things inside. He did not take them out in front of everyone. Instead, he glanced at him, put them away, and then pointed at Du Ping, saying to Zhao Tong: "Take it down, ask clearly, how Du Xiong explained to him, word by word, ask carefully!"

Du Ping was tied up strongly, with a rag in his mouth, widened his eyes, and looked at his young master, struggling and unwilling to go down. After being tyrannical for a few times by Zhao Tong, Fang Suan calmed down and was dragged out like a dead dog.

Mr. Zhuang pointed to Du Jie, who was so scared that he sobbed out loud, and said to Liang Shunzheng: "This child, please ask the eldest son to send someone..." After saying this, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I won't bother the eldest son!" Then he told Xiaoman to take the child to the inner courtyard and take a closer look.

It is said that "the seventh-rank official of the prime minister's office", but I don't know what rank the gentleman of the prince's mansion is? Liang Shunzheng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Mr. Zhuang hanging himself aside in the lobby of the county government and arranged these things calmly.

They are almost 60 years old, so why do they think that he is more comfortable and decent than his own county magistrate? Liang Shunzheng complained deeply, but he could only deal with it with a smile. After all, the other party is a celebrity in the Daotai Mansion, and it is not something he, the small county magistrate, can mess with.

Mr. Zhuang was going to go to Cao Yong to discuss the affairs of the Du family, but there were new changes, which seemed to require careful planning. Therefore, he did not have time to do it perfunctorily with Liang Shunzheng, so he said goodbye and went back to the inner courtyard after a few words of social engagements.

Chu Yu had already cooked the porridge and was sitting by the bed waiting for Cao Yong to drink the porridge. The porridge contained diced bacon and dried vegetables. It was salty and delicious, which was also appetizing.

Cao Yong was impatient with eating sweets. When he first brought it up, he saw the red ones and thought it was jujube porridge or something. After tasting it, he realized it was salty porridge.

But there were no rice grains and no beans, but they were filled with beans and rice fragrance, which made people wonder, and asked, "What was it made? It was the first time I ate this!"

When Chu Yu saw that Cao Yong had an appetite, he felt happy and smiled a little on his face, saying, "If you like it, just use an extra bowl. This one was crushed with rice and cooked. The red bean water used to adjust the color, which is the best way to cure it!"

Cao Yong nodded and drank a bowl of spoons. Seeing Chu Yu's face was exhausted, he felt very distressed and said, "Why do you have to be so troublesome? How can you have a good life if you are tired? But these ingredients are put in the pot and boiled!"

Chu Yu just smiled but didn't answer. Xiyun took Cao Yong's bowl next to him, helped him serve another bowl in the sea bowl, and smiled and delivered it, saying, "The prince-in-law is so light! The maid followed the prince to the mansion for two years. Why don't you remember when the prince-in-law had drunk white rice porridge?"

Cao Yong's daily life has always been served by others, and he has never had to worry about his diet. Now, when he heard Xiyun say this, he remembered his "pickyness". He laughed twice, drank the porridge in his hand, and then took Chu Yu's hand.

Chu Yu's hands are frozen, probably because they are stained with water.

Cao Yong felt very distressed and whispered to Chu Yu: "Even if you want to do this, you are not allowed to do it yourself. Let Xiyun, Xicai and the others do it!"

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Chu Yu likes to make these. As long as the prince uses them happily, Chu Yu will be indescribable to be happy!"

Looking at the two masters' worries, Xiyun and Xicai couldn't help but look at each other, thinking whether they would retreat or avoid it. However, looking at the tight bandage of the prince's legs, they didn't seem to be able to do "bad things", so they pretended not to see anything, lowered their heads, and cleaned up the dishes.

*

Mengyin County, Fushun Restaurant, and the second floor private room.

Du Hui, the second master of the Du family, looked at the dishes on the table and felt very satisfied. He picked up the teacup in his hand and said to the guest opposite: "Because my brother is filial, it is inconvenient to drink with my brother. Here we use tea instead of wine. Toast my brother a cup, which is to wash my brother's dust!"

A strong man in his thirties sat opposite him, picking up his wine glass readily and saying, "Since that's the case, I'm not polite, my brother, let's do this first!"

This man is no one else, but Du Bin, the head of the Andongwei Office, who brought his men to Mengyin today.
