Lu Zheng carried a huge pile of things and followed behind Gu Hui and Gu Xin. When they returned to the dock, he saw granny Shen standing there with a man and a woman. They were all smiling and it was obvious that they were waiting for them.
Gu Hui and Gu Xin were also stunned when they saw the three of them.
“Two young ladies, are you going to the capital?” Shen Mama smiled benevolently.
I’m sorry, mother-in-law, ” Gu Xin said. my grandparents have said that I can’t reveal my whereabouts to anyone when I’m out. So, can you let us pass?”
Granny Shen smiled even more kindly,”yes, your grandparents taught you well.” I just want to take my nephew and grandniece to hitch a ride on your ship. I don’t know if it’s convenient?”
Gu Xin shook her head, ” I’m sorry, mother-in-law. It might not be convenient! We don’t take outsiders ‘boats. Granny, you look like a good person, but your blocking of the road doesn’t seem like something a good person would do.”
Shen Mama was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect the little girl to be so vigilant.
&Nbsp; Lu Zheng stepped forward. old man, the ship over there is headed for the capital. It will depart at five in the evening. You can still make it if you head over now.
“Crown Prince Lu, we’re all from the capital. Are you sure you won’t bring us three along?” granny Shen looked at Lu Zheng.
Gu Hui and Gu Xin looked at Lu Zheng in surprise. So they knew each other?
“Old man, my surname is Zhou,” Lu Zheng said with a smile.
Shen Mama shook her head and sighed,”It’s better to be surnamed Zhou. When Xiaojia went to Beijing, I helped her. Sigh, the tea becomes cold when the person is gone! Xiaojia’s son is in a bad mood after she left.”
Lu Zheng:
Don’t think that I don’t know that all of you from the palace are drama queens.
You said you knew my mother and helped her, but I don’t know.
Granny Shen looked at the unmoved Lu Zheng and Gu Hui and Gu Xin who stood firmly beside him. She was even happier.
‘Hmm, he’s calm and steady at such a young age. Not bad.’
“If young master Zhou doesn’t believe this old woman’s words, you can go back to the capital and ask the wife of the Supreme Court’s young minister to see if this old woman and her mother have such a matter,” granny Shen continued.
Back then, Lu Zheng had found a poor student to be her sister’s husband. His brother-in-law had taken the position of junior official of the Supreme Court in just six years. In six years, he had solved ten major cases, five of which had been accumulated for more than ten years. The Emperor was overjoyed.
His brother-in-law was now the emperor’s favorite.
Lu Zheng thought about it and agreed to let them board the boat. However, he planned to remind Gu Hui and Gu Xin to cut off their interactions with her.
There was no absolute good or bad in the palace. In any case, you had to be alert when you were with them.
Granny Shen and the other two boarded the ship quietly. After they settled down, they did not interact with Gu Xin and Gu Hui on purpose.
Lu Zheng was dumbfounded. Did she really just want to take a boat back to the capital?
He handed over the seeds to the Imperial envoy in Yizhou and also gave them to the Imperial envoy and a few people in the Zhou family’s Manor. They had all followed him to plant potatoes. This time, they would follow him to Jiangnan and live there for a year. One was to plant potatoes, and the next year, they would plant corn and sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes were not taken out this time because they had not been collected yet. When the time came, the Emperor would naturally send someone to the Zhou family to take the sweet potatoes away.
After walking for two days without anything amiss, Gu Xin let her guard down and discussed with Gu Hui about going to Yi state for a day.
Shen Mama and the other two didn’t join in the fun. They just strolled along the dock and didn’t do anything else.
