Chapter 162 Holding hands, taking you home
Lin family.
Lin Jijiu sat quietly in the pavilion, with a pile of specialties from the Western Regions on the table.
"These dried fruits were planted by the students themselves. Thirteen cities in Xizhou have been suffering from drought all year round. The students built canals and used water from the Nanjiang River to irrigate the farmland. Now the people of Xizhou no longer have to suffer from drought."
Opposite him, Xun Yu spoke gracefully about his experiences and achievements in Xizhou.
Lin Jijiu listened with a serious face and nodded: "Being able to do something practical for the people means that you have not forgotten your original intention."
Xun Yu said respectfully: "The teacher taught well. Without the teacher's cultivation, the students would not be where they are today. Once a teacher, he will always be a father. The teacher is so kind that the students will never forget it!"
On the other side, Mrs. Lin also received a gift from Xun Yu. In addition to the jewelry with the characteristics of the Western Regions, the most valuable one was the box of blood coagulation ointment.
Mrs. Lin never tires of looking at it: "The box is so unique."
Lin Xiaoru said: "The boxes were made and sold by people from the Central Plains, and they were just resold."
Mrs. Lin was startled: "You walk silently?"
Lin Xiaoru: "Yes, you didn't hear it yourself."
Mrs. Lin stopped arguing with her daughter. It was a good thing that her daughter was willing to go out of the yard. Just scare her, it was better than staying in the study all day.
She looked at the gifts on the table, and the more she looked at them, the more satisfied she became: "Xun Yu is very thoughtful. It's not in vain that your father valued him so much. I like this kid too. It's obvious that my own father is already so powerful, but he is still so impressive. If your brother is half as good as Xun Yu, I will be satisfied."
Lin Xiaoru said seriously: "Dad clearly valued the book boy more in those days. He only accepted Xun Yu as his student because of the book boy's face."
Mrs. Lin said: "That's nonsense! How old were you when your father took Xun Yu in? Were you born?"
Lin Xiaoru said: "He was born."
She has her own extrapolation skills.
There are some things that you didn’t understand when you were a child, but you will understand them when you grow up.
My father taught two students. One inherited his father's will and became a good official who could be remembered for generations. The other embarked on a path of being a traitorous official who could be punished by everyone.
Fawning over the prime minister, seeking refuge with the prince, plotting to murder the prince, colluding with Concubine Li and her son, turning his back on the master to seek glory again and again, and doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Is Sister Meng's husband really so unworthy?
Did my father really make a mistake back then?
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Meng Qianqian and Manager Cen were riding in a carriage and speeding all the way to the foot of the mountain.
Before the carriage could stop, Meng Qianqian rushed out like an arrow.
Manager Cen also quickly got off the carriage, and while chasing, he shouted anxiously: "Madam! It's dark and the mountain road is difficult to walk. Slow down! Fall carefully!"
Meng Qianqian rushed up the mountain and entered the temple. At this time, there were no pilgrims in the temple, and the monks were all attending evening classes. Meng Qianqian went to the courtyard in the back mountain according to her memory.
She has been here once before, which room is Lu Yuan's meditation room...
Third from the right.
This is it!
On the window paper, a figure holding a knife pointed at his wrist was reflected in the candlelight.
Meng Qianqian kicked open the door: "You are not allowed to do stupid things!"
Lu Yuan paused while holding the knife.
Meng Qianqian, with quick eyesight and quick hands, stepped forward and snatched away his dagger: "Who allowed you to do this..."
Only halfway through speaking, he saw Lu Yuan holding a washed peach in his left hand.
She looked startled, looked at the knife in her hand, then looked at his peaches, and said nonchalantly: "Were you... peeling the peaches just now?"
Lu Yuan said strangely: "What else?"
Meng Qianqian opened her mouth: "But...but didn't Manager Cen say..."
She turned back and pointed outside.
But where can Manager Cen be seen outside?
"What did you say?" Lu Yuan said angrily, "You said that the governor committed suicide in the temple?"
Meng Qianqian was speechless.
Because, Manager Cen really didn't say "asking for short-sightedness". She was misled.
Lu Yuan took the dagger back, peeled it, and asked casually: "Meng Xiaojiu, why are you so nervous? Is the life and death of this governor important to you?"
Meng Qianqian said without thinking: "Of course it's important. You are my husband. If you die, I will have to be a widow again."
"snort."
Lu Yuan snorted coldly.
Meng Qianqian had never seen him work, except for beating walnuts for a few children at the border. He beat them beautifully, and the walnut kernels were all intact.
Unexpectedly, he also peeled the peaches exceptionally beautifully.
Meng Qianqian thought of what Manager Cen said. He was separated from his family when he was young. A pampered young man suddenly ended up living on the street. He must have suffered a lot.
Lu Yuan handed the peeled peach to Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian: "For me?"
"Forget it if you don't want to eat."
"eat!"
I climbed the mountain too fast and I was so thirsty.
Meng Qianqian washed her hands and quickly grabbed the peach in her hand, as if she would regret it if she patted him slowly.
She took a bite.
Mmm, so sweet!
Lu Yan picked up the white handkerchief and wiped the dagger.
Meng Qianqian looked around: "What are you doing in the temple? Why is there no one around you?"
"Come to the temple to meet someone."
He answered Meng Qianqian's first question.
Meng Qianqian held the peach in her hands: "Have you seen it?"
Lu Yuan said: "I saw it."
Meng Qianqian didn't ask him who he was meeting, because if he wanted to say it, he would have said it already.
Meng Qianqian asked again: "Is Xiangguo Xun really your adoptive father?"
Lu Yuan frowned: "Manager Cen, did you even tell you this?"
Meng Qianqian nodded seriously.
Lu Yan muttered coldly: "Turn your elbows outward."
Meng Qianqian asked casually: "Have you been working for your adoptive father these years?"
Lu Yuan said calmly: "Of course I have my own ambitions."
Meng Qianqian paused: "Do you want to conquer the world?"
Lu Yuan didn't answer.
Meng Qianqian asked again: "Is power more important than life?" Lu Yuan said indifferently: "Instead of living a mediocre life, it is better to die vigorously. Congratulations, you finally see the true face of this governor. I regret marrying him. Already?"
Meng Qianqian shook her head: "I don't regret it."
"Aren't you afraid that the governor will lose?"
"I'll help you win."
"My governor may soon have nothing. Don't you care about this?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll support you." Meng Qianqian thought for a while, "I seem to be... quite able to make money."
Lu Yuan's eyes trembled slightly, and he turned away: "Humph."
After Meng Qianqian finished eating the peaches, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said to Lu Yuan, "Let's go down the mountain!"
Lu Yuan said: "I won't leave, you can go back by yourself."
Meng Qianqian asked: "Why?"

Soon, she knew why.
A large number of imperial guards suddenly poured into the temple and surrounded the courtyard.
Meng Qianqian was just wondering what happened when the door of the meditation room next door slowly opened.
An elderly monk came out with the support of another monk.
Meng Qianqian knew the second monk, it was Eunuch Fu who had gone to Liu's house to announce the decree to her and Lu Lingxiao.
The imperial guards all knelt down and saluted: "Kowtow to the Supreme Emperor, long live my emperor!"
Meng Qianqian's eyes flashed with surprise.
Wasn't the Supreme Emperor under house arrest by Lu Yuan and recuperating in the palace? Could it be that he has been in the temple?
The person Lu Yuan came to see...is the Supreme Emperor?
Lu Yuan didn't move.
Meng Qianqian walked outside the Zen room and saluted the Supreme Emperor: "I have met the Supreme Emperor."
The Supreme Emperor looked Meng Qianqian up and down: "Are you Meng Qianqian?"
"yes."
Does the Supreme Emperor know her? How strange.
The Supreme Emperor said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you can go."
Meng Qianqian said: "My wife wants to wait for her husband to leave together."
The Supreme Emperor said: "His sins are serious. If I don't kill him, I will show off the face of the Prime Minister. From now on, he will chant sutras and pray for blessings in the temple, and he will die—"
Before he finished speaking, the old lady shouted from outside the yard: "Great-grandson-in-law! Where are you, great-grandson-in-law?"
The Supreme Emperor's expression froze.
"Give way! Give way! Give way!"
The old lady struggled to walk through the array of guards, "I can't squeeze through!"
"Get out of the way!"
Tan'er grabbed a handful of the Imperial Guards.
The imperial guards were about to take action against Tan'er.
"Stop! Stop it!"
Eunuch Fu quickly walked towards the Imperial Guards.
The imperial guards did not dare to stop him and spontaneously made way for him.
When the old lady saw Eunuch Fu, her eyes lit up: "Little Fuzi, is it you?"
Eunuch Fu smiled and supported the old lady: "Old lady, why did you go up the mountain?"
The old lady asked sadly: "My great-grandson-in-law is missing. Have you seen him?"
Eunuch Fu looked embarrassed: "Slave..."
"elder sister!"
Tan'er discovered Meng Qianqian and ran over happily.
The old lady exclaimed: "Qianqian!"
She immediately threw away Eunuch Fu and walked quickly to Meng Qianqian, "Qianqian! Are you looking for your great-grandson-in-law too? Have you found him? Tan'er and I have searched many places, why doesn't he come home yet?" I'm so hungry!"
Meng Qianqian's eyes swept over Eunuch Fu, who looked at the Supreme Emperor with misery.
In the flash of lightning, she thought of the edict of righteousness issued by the Supreme Emperor to herself and Lu Lingxiao.
Could it be...that my great-grandmother asked for it for me?
She heard from the Lu family that Mr. Lu followed the Supreme Emperor in his expeditions and had the merit of serving the dragon. When Mr. Lu passed away, the Supreme Emperor went to express his condolences to him as a junior.
The old lady still enjoys the enshrinement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She asked Mrs. Wang and found that there were no old ladies from other families.
"Qianqian, why don't you speak?"
The old lady felt a little aggrieved, "Where did my great-grandson-in-law go? Was he being bullied and afraid to go home?"
The Supreme Emperor was standing next to Meng Qianqian, but the old lady's eyes did not see the Supreme Emperor at all.
Meng Qianqian suddenly had a bold idea in her heart, and said to the old lady: "Lu Yuan is in the Zen room."
"Great! I knew Qianqian was the most powerful and found my great-grandson-in-law!"
The old lady danced into the meditation room and said, "Great-grandson-in-law, we are going home!"
Lu Yuan looked at the Supreme Emperor outside the door.
The Supreme Emperor looked at Lu Yuan majestically.
Lu Yuan lowered his eyes, stood up slowly under everyone's gaze, and walked towards the door of the Zen room with the old lady.
"Go home! Go home!"
The old lady happily crossed the threshold.
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment and then raised his feet.
He heard the sound of archers on the roof drawing their bowstrings to full length.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! I'm hungry!" the old lady urged.
Lu Yuan stepped out of the threshold with a stern look.
The bow and arrow did not fall.
He raised his other hand and took Meng Qianqian's hand, and Meng Qianqian held Tan'er's hand.
"Let's go! Give up! Give up!"
The old lady pushed aside the guards impatiently, "They're blocking the road! Xiao Fuzi, tell them to get out of the way!"
The Imperial Guards all looked at Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu glanced at the silent Emperor and waved his hand helplessly.
Just like that, the old lady led a string of candied haws-gluts and walked out of the murderous courtyard.
Xiao Feizhang is stuck.
