Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 192 Aunt
Chu Yu lowered her head with a grim expression, her long and narrow phoenix eyes were full of indifference.He straightened his waist, and slowly let go of the hand that was holding Qu You.

"Get up..."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lady." Everyone kowtowed and shouted.

Chu Yu took Qu You's hand and let her stand side by side with him, "Let's go, go in."

The steward glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and opened his mouth in surprise.This, this princess's status does not seem to be low, the prince actually let her walk side by side with him.

"What are you doing in a daze, still not leaving." Qin Yufeng stepped forward, raised his leg and kicked him.

The steward scrambled to his feet and followed quickly.

Qu You followed behind Chu Yu, while walking forward, secretly observing the surroundings.The capital really deserves its reputation. Let’s not talk about the huge manor, but the grape trellises in this yard. The grapes are plump and juicy, which makes people appetite.

"This is rose fragrance—" Qu You looked up in surprise, staring at the grape trellis.God, these are her favorite grapes. They are moderately sweet and sour, plump and juicy. In modern times, as long as my mother buys them for her, she can eat two bunches every time.

"Returning to the princess, this is a variety introduced by the slaves in southern Xinjiang, called Hongxiangguo." The steward stepped forward.

Isn't it rose fragrance?Qu You lowered her head, her eyes dimmed.

Chu Yu's heart tightened, and he went to put his arms around Qu You's weak shoulders, "The fruit is already ripe, if you want to eat it, let the servants pick some."

Qu You lifted her lips and smiled forcedly, "Okay, then I'll wait to eat." After saying that, the two continued to walk forward side by side.

The steward wiped his cold sweat with a wave of his hand, then turned his head and hurriedly ordered his servants to pick grapes.

Qu You and the others entered the house and circled around, seeing everything that should be seen, and asked the steward to lead them towards the land.

"Your Majesty, the grapes will be washed right away, you can eat them before you go." The steward bowed obsequiously.

"No, there's still time to eat when I come back."

The steward sighed silently, and led everyone to the surrounding villages.

Lianshui Village, named for its proximity to the Lianshui River, is located in the northernmost part of the fief.Rice is planted in the village all year round, but it is not known whether the planting method is wrong or the land is thin. The rice harvest is not good, and there is not much left after taxation.

At noon, every household in the village smoked from the kitchen, and the village head, Old Man Ge, sat at the door of his house, silently smoking the pipe and pot in his hand.

"Father, there's a group of people coming over there." Next to him, the elder of the Ge family put down the dustpan in his hand, squinted his eyes and got up.

The old man Ge knocked on the cigarette pot, his hazy eyes flashed.

"Do your job well and don't meddle in your own business."

The elder of the Ge family turned his head, glanced at his dozing father, clapped his hands, and strode to the gate of the courtyard.

"Where do you guys come from? It seems a bit unfamiliar." The black and strong farmer showed a simple and honest smile.

"Boss Ge, call your father out." The steward, with his hands behind his back, came out from behind everyone.

Boss Ge took a closer look, hey~ Isn't this the money steward of Prince Rui's residence?

"Father, it's money in charge." Boss Ge turned his head and shouted.

Old man Ge put the shredded tobacco on the ground, hunched over, and stepped forward step by step.

"What kind of wind brought you here." As he said, he glanced at Chu Yu and the others from the corner of his eye.

Young but richly dressed, especially the men in the team, wearing black narrow-sleeved boa robes with gold thread auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs, a vermilion and white jade belt around the waist, and a white jade waist pendant, elegant and elegant, obviously very human.

"Old stuff—" Guanshi Qian laughed, stepped forward and patted Old Man Ge.

Qin Yufeng looked at Guanshi Qian with black lines all over his head, silently mourning for him in his heart.It's really the birthday boy who hanged himself—it's too long to live, but to be so presumptuous in front of the prince, it's simply enough to live.

Cough cough... A light cough sounded behind Guanshi Qian.

Guanshi Qian froze, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Slave..."

"Manager Qian, this is..." Qu Youtian stepped forward with a smile.

Guanshi Qian looked at Chu Yu, his legs trembling silently because of fear.

"Princess is asking you something, why don't you answer quickly." Qin Yufeng approached in a low voice.

"This is Ge Changsheng, the head of Lianshui Village." Steward Qian stepped aside.

Old man Ge looked at Qu You and his party, shock flashed in his cloudy eyes, "Old man Ge Changsheng has seen a nobleman." Old man Ge bent down slowly with his waist bent by the years.

Qu You nodded silently, looking at Old Man Ge with kindness in his eyes.It should be this kind of old man who is said to be old and mature. It is not easy to guess the identity of everyone present with just a few simple physical observations.

"What noble person, this is Princess Rui Princess." Qian Guanshi scolded lightly.

Old man Ge shook his body, pulled his foolish son beside him, and knelt down with a 'Putong'.

"Ge Changsheng, a grass man, has met Princess Rui, and his wife is a thousand years old." "Ge Dazhuang, a grass man, has met Princess Rui, and his wife is a thousand years old." The father and son knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Chu Yu stepped forward with his hands behind his back, silently wrapping around Qu You's waist.

Ge Changsheng and his son looked at Chu Yu in a daze as if they were stupid.

"I haven't seen His Highness Prince Rui yet." Steward Qian pushed Old Man Ge with his hands.

Oh, old man Ge reacted, and quickly leaned over and kowtowed.

Chu Yu looked at the Ge family father and son indifferently, his narrow eyes were calm and unwavering.He hugged Qu You beside him, and walked forward like a step.

"Get up—" It sounded like an ancient call, which shocked the Ge family father and son into a cold sweat.

The Ge family father and son supported each other to get up, and staggered to keep up with the two of them.

"My lord, please go to the house to rest for a while." After speaking, Old Man Ge raised his hand and slapped himself.I'm sorry, how can the prince see this hut like a cowshed.

Chu Yu showed no expression, but Qu You felt nothing. She was a peasant girl herself, so she couldn't forget her origin just because she married a prince.She shrugged and walked towards the house.

"Old man, dinner is ready." Inside the room, Mrs. Wang greeted him with a smile on his face.

Old man Ge took a look at Qu You, stepped forward and pushed his old wife away, "What are you arguing about, I didn't see the nobleman coming in."

On Wang's chubby round face, there was a pair of smiling eyes. She tilted her head to look at Qu You and the others, clapped her hands on her thighs, and her smile immediately rang through the courtyard.

"Look at this girl, she is so beautiful, she is really rare to find someone." Mrs. Wang held Qu You's hands familiarly.

The Ge family's father and son trembled in fright, and Ge Dazhuang secretly winked at his mother.Oh my mother, do you know whose hand you are holding?

Chu Yu's face was dark, and just when he was about to scold Wang Shi, Qu You glared at him.He turned his head away, simply out of sight.

There was warmth in Qu You's eyes, seeing Wang Shi seemed to see her grandmother in her hometown, she was so kind.

"Hello aunt, please don't take offense if I take the liberty to disturb you."

The more Wang looked at Qu You, the more she liked her, and she couldn't bear to let go of her hand. She carefully looked at the girl in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt familiar. It seemed that she had seen this face somewhere before. Where is it, Mrs. Wang fell into deep thought, which frightened Old Man Ge and the others to death.

"Old woman, don't let go yet." Old man Ge pushed Wang Shi.

Wang woke up from deep thought, her expression was in a trance, she sighed softly, a bold idea was about to come out.

"Girl, your mother's surname is Wang, from Weihe."

Qu You blinked, then shook her head in a dazed manner, "My mother's surname is Wang, a native of Yanlai from Feiyun City."

Oh, that's not it.Disappointment flashed across Wang's smiling eyes, which made Qu You feel unbearable.

"Come on, come inside, ma'am, I've just made dinner, it's better to hurry up, if you don't mind, come in and have a bite." Mrs. Wang warmly greeted Qu You and invited her to have dinner together.

Qu You nodded in a strange way, and followed Wang Shi into the house.

"Princess." Qin Yufeng shouted.

In front, Wang Shi and Qu You turned their heads together, the former's face was full of shock, while the latter's face was full of helplessness.

Mrs. Wang turned her head to look at Qu You, her feet suddenly softened, "The woman is convicted, please forgive me." After finishing speaking, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Ge's father and son squeezed in from outside the house, Qiqi knelt in front of Qu You.

"Please forgive me, my mother didn't do it on purpose, she just feels that you are like my aunt, very kind." Ge Dazhuang knelt down and begged for mercy.

aunt?Qu You frowned, and looked at Wang Shi suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, don't blame me. The woman just misses my sister too much, and she looks a little dazed. My Majesty is the daughter-in-law of the Tian family, the royal family and nobles, so she will not have anything to do with us." Kneeling on the ground, Wang's expression was mournful, It is extremely pitiful.

Qu You held Wang Shi's hand, and slowly helped her up, "Wang and Wang are originally a family, if Auntie doesn't dislike it, it doesn't matter if you recognize me as a niece."

Mrs. Wang shook her head, "Women don't dare to climb high."

Hey, it's really catchy, not a business.The princess was kind enough to accept her as an aunt, but she picked up the airs. She was like a cheap weed, and the mud couldn't stand on the table.Steward Qian gritted his teeth, with a look of hatred on his face.

Qin Yufeng pulled Steward Qian over and pushed him behind the crowd, "The prince and concubine are here to inspect the land in Lianshui Village. What are you doing?"

Guanshi Qian bowed his waist, with a bitter face that could not laugh or cry, "Master Qin, even if you give me a hundred courage, the servant will not dare. This is an accident, it is really an accident." Resentment arises from ignorance of current affairs.

Qin Yufeng tapped his finger, turned his head and rushed into the crowd.

Mrs. Wang brought Qu You into the inner hall, searched for a while, and found a dusty picture scroll in an old wooden box in the corner.She slowly spread out the scroll, her pious attitude and the way she regarded it as a treasure moved Qu You's heart.

"This is my sister, Wang Shuyu." The picture scroll was completely opened, and Qu You's eyes came into view.

Mother——Qu You stared wide-eyed, and picked up the scroll in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, be careful." Wang Shi looked at Qu You cautiously, for fear that her rough hands and feet would damage her.

Qu You swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and breathed nervously, "Aunt Wang, can you tell me how you and your sister separated?" There was an unknown tremor in her voice.

Mrs. Wang put the scroll on the table, and wiped it with fat hands little by little, "Shuyu and I both died when we were young, so in order to make a living, we had to go to a wealthy family to apply for an embroidery lady. It is a must in ten miles and eight villages. Back then, the suitors almost broke through the door of our house, but I dismissed them all. Hmph~ It is not so easy to marry my sister." A little smile flashed in Wang's eyes , seems to be remembering those carefree days.

"The Weihe River was flooded, the main family's business was ruined, and there was no way to make money, so the main family wanted to disperse the embroiderers, and the mediocre craftsmen were sold off for a few taels of silver, only me and Shuyu were left behind. "Ms. Wang sighed softly, and continued: "The master's young master wanted to take the opportunity to accept Shuyu, but I refused, so I ran away overnight with Shuyu. I didn't expect to encounter heavy rain on the way and wash us away. So far, there is no news. "Wang's eye sockets were red and swollen, and tears flowed across his chubby face.

Qu You's hands trembled uncontrollably, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Aunt Wang, I'm a little disturbed today. I'll come to see you when I have a chance." After speaking, there was wind under her feet, and she hurried out of the room.

Chu Yu turned around and looked at Qu You who was running for his life, a bloodthirsty coldness flashed on that monstrous face.

"Come here—" The ruthlessness in the voice made everyone who heard it tremble.

The old man Ge and his son fell to their knees with a plop, their hearts filled with coldness.Oops, this time it's his life that's in danger.The father and son knelt on the ground in a daze, with a dull and calm expression.

"Brother Yu." Qu You threw herself into Chu Yu's arms, raising her head and weeping silently.

Chu Yu's heart tightened, and he clenched his hands suddenly. He looked at Old Man Ge and his son with cold eyes, the sternness in his eyes was like ice skates, silently lingering at the two of them.

"They, they are—"

Chu Yu hugged Qu You, stroking her back with heartache, comforting her again and again, for fear that she would cry out.

They may be my uncle and cousin.Qu You rested her head on Chu Yu's shoulder, whispering in his ear.

Chu Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully, "Are you sure?"

"En." Qu You nodded.

"How to prove it?"

Qu You wiped away tears, and took Chu Yu's arm, "Let's go back, whether it's true or not, we must inform our parents." As he said, he tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek, "I'm about to It's time for Jiji, if you don't want to go back to Qinghe Village, then you must invite the elders before the Jiji ceremony."

Chu Yu pinched her face, and suddenly put away all his aura, "Go back to the house." The two turned and walked out of the room.

Everyone bowed their heads, not daring to take a breath, until Chu Yu called back to the mansion, and then walked slowly towards the entrance of the village behind him.

After everyone walked away, Old Man Ge and his son felt limp and fell to the ground covered in cold sweat.

"Quick, go and see your mother." Old man Ge pushed his son.

Ge Dazhuang got up, stumbled and rushed into the house.

"Mother, how are you?" Ge Dazhuang was inexplicably relieved when he saw Wang who was crying on the painting.

Wang raised her head and looked at the honest eldest son, "Da Zhuang, the heavens have eyes, mother finally found your aunt."

"Mother, she is Princess Rui, don't mistake her." Ge Dazhuang scratched his head.

"Mother won't admit it wrong. Her eyes are exactly like your aunt's. She is your cousin and your aunt's daughter." Wang nodded resolutely.
