Only when Mrs. Yang coughed at the door did Zhao Xueli come to his senses and hurriedly walked a few steps and entered the door first.
Mrs. Yang has long told her son that no matter who the little mute is, he will be a junior when he comes to our house. The elder must act like an elder.
In other words, the shelf cannot fall down.
Zhao Xueli was confused when he heard this. Why is it that when a prince comes to visit, he is not a prince? Then he was slapped on the head by his mother. Mrs. Yang pinched her waist and said, "Hey, do you look like a father?"
"You have some official status and family background, so you don't dare to support your daughter? In the future, after your daughter gets married, if she is wronged, you won't dare to say anything, right?"
"How did I give birth to such a coward like you? Let me tell you, let alone a prince, even an emperor can do that. If you bully your daughter, you have to kick his door and hit him with the stick. If nothing happens, mother will do it.
You can keep a hatchet and strike it in front of you to see if he still dares to cause trouble."
It was then that Zhao Xueli heard the secret. It turned out that the little mute was thinking about his daughter. He came to his senses and chased his mother and asked: "When did it happen? Mother, how did you know? Did you agree?"
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Yang felt a little unreasonable, but with her mother's pressure, she glanced at her son: "Is it possible that the whole family is like you, with angry eyes? Such a big man keeps eyelids all day long.
You were wandering down there, but you didn’t notice it. You didn’t know how to think about your own faults, so you blamed your mother? In our family, whoever is smart gets blamed, whoever works more makes more mistakes?”
Zhao Xueli suddenly became depressed, because everything I said was right, but... Prince Yu didn't seem to be hanging around under their noses!
Mrs. Yang easily surrendered her son, and began to teach her by words and deeds: "When the time comes, the whole family will be here, so be sure that he cannot agree to the marriage until he recovers from his injuries."
"It's not that I'm cruel, his illness is really strange. Last time I asked him, he told him honestly, so we don't have to hide it. I don't care about anything else, but I can't let Sister Luo.
Life will be difficult in the future.”
Zhao Xueli nodded accordingly.
Old Mrs. Yang continued: "We don't want any wealth and splendor. We don't need him to take much betrothal gifts. Anyway, we can't treat Sister Luo poorly."
Zhao Xueli responded again: "Mom, my son has already remembered it. I didn't even think about getting any betrothal gifts. It's not okay to bully my daughter."
Mrs. Yang patted Zhao Xueli's forehead again: "Why don't you give up the betrothal gift? Let him marry Sister Luo away for nothing? Can you take it to heart so easily? You have to have the betrothal gift, but it's all Sister Luo.
We won’t keep any money, and you have to be considerate both inside and outside to get our nod.”
The words of mother and son really encouraged Zhao Xueli, so Zhao Xueli could now straighten his back in front of Xiao Yu.
Everyone entered the house together.
Luo Zhenniang, Zhao Xuejing, Zhao Xueyi, Ge Shi and others in the room all looked towards the door. Several people were more or less uncomfortable, after all, they saw the prince.
Especially for the Ge family, they were interested in Sister Luo and the face of the second brother's family. No matter how they calculated, they should not receive this gift.
So Geshi hid behind. Zhao Xuejing was okay and looked very natural, but he also stood aside. Although Zhao Xueyi was stupid, he was not ambiguous at such times and followed Zhao Xuejing.
After everyone gave in, Mr. Song was left sitting there with Luo Zhenniang by his side.
Mr. Song didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, everyone had dispersed, and he was left to face King Yu. He felt that there were thorns growing under his buttocks, and he almost couldn't hold himself steady. Fortunately, he still had a beard that he could pluck out.
Mr. Song stroked his beard, as steady as a mountain. His eyes fell on Xiao Yu. When he was the prince, Mr. Song felt that this son of the Wang family would definitely do something in the future. Now that he knows his identity, he can see more.
Come. It is not easy to lose your sharp edge. Now you are humble and polite, neither humble nor overbearing. It shows that you do not take your identity seriously. You can kill decisively and hide your strength and bide your time. What can't you do?
Zhao Xueli invited Mrs. Yang to sit down next to Mr. Song. Mr. Song was Luo Jie'er's husband. Together with Mrs. Yang, he was the elder who was most respected by the Zhao family.
After the elders were seated, Ge Shi moved a chair and asked Prince Yu to sit down. Everyone was talking together and they could not stand.
Ge Shi was about to greet Xiao Yu, but unexpectedly, Prince Yu in front of him lifted his robe and knelt down in front of everyone.
Ge Shi was startled and almost couldn't help but stepped forward to help him. However, Prince Yu's movements were too fast. Before anyone could react, he had already bowed down.
Luo Zhenniang's eyes widened, and Zhao Xueli took a breath of cold air. Among the many possibilities he thought of, this one was not the one. Didn't this catch him off guard?
Old Mrs. Yang said: "Get up quickly, what are you doing? I can't stand this."
Mr. Song stopped stroking his beard this time. After a moment he looked at the little fox at the door. Did Prince Yu put all his energy into feeding the little fox in order to marry him?
"Yes," Xiao Yu said, "I have always dreamed of saluting several elders, but I didn't have this opportunity. If it weren't for grandma's wild vegetable cake, I would have starved to death. I still remember that the clothes on my body were all given by grandma.
Come on, without Auntie, I might freeze to death, and...Uncle also carried me and Luo Yang to fish in the river, and we had meat to eat every day during that time."
Xiao Yu said as he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which contained a handful of dried flowers.
"This is the locust tree flower in front of our house. I still remember my aunt asked Sister Luo and me to pick it and steam it to eat. Unfortunately, when I went back, you had already moved away."
Luo Zhenniang immediately remembered those things from the past.
Luo Zhenniang couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect you to go back and watch?"
Xiao Yu nodded: "Someone else lives in that house, but the millstone is still the same as before, and the bird's nest under the eaves is still there, but I don't know if it's still the same two inside."
Having said this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile: "The mallet used by Fourth Auntie is still there."
This time, Ge Shi also exclaimed: "They didn't lose it?"
"No," Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Fourth uncle does a good job, they use it all the time."
Geshi murmured: "It's rare that it hasn't worn out after so many years."
After being told by Xiao Yu, the Zhao family returned to their previous home.
Xiao Yu continued: "I actually always dream about those things in the past, but later... several times in my dreams, I could never find my home."
Luo Zhenniang couldn't help but rub her eyes with her sleeve.
"You kid, since you have found Taozhou, why didn't you tell us clearly from the beginning?" Luo Zhenniang said, "You have kept it secret for so long."
"I'm afraid that grandma, uncle and aunt are worried about me," Xiao Yu said, "I'm a bit seriously injured, and I'm being watched secretly. If I don't do it, it will affect everyone."
Luo Zhenniang immediately remembered this and stepped forward: "Get up quickly, get up quickly, the injury is not healed yet, how can you kneel on the ground?"
