So Chen Xiao didn't speak anymore, but stood up and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense, then have a good rest and teach the villagers how to read tomorrow."
After talking to Xiaobei, he didn't say any more, but didn't leave.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei leave, Liu Luomei let out a long breath.
Xiao Qing, who was next to him, saw this and said tentatively, "Miss, do you want to go to the front line? Do you not have the heart to talk to me?"
Liu Rumei shook her head gently, "No, I'm worried that Brother Xiaobei will be weak and persuaded by Zhou Quan's few words to persuade me."
"By the way, it's almost noon. I don't want to go there to eat anymore. You go make some rice porridge. I don't have much appetite."
Of course Xiao Qing knew that the so-called lack of appetite was false, and he was probably in a bad mood.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei was obviously not in a good mood. He was a little entangled now. To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want Liu Rumei to go. Moreover, given the nature of the prince's family, he didn't want to go there this time. I'm afraid it will still be thankless after it's over.
But he also knew that Zhou Quan might not be willing to give up if Liu Rumei didn't go.
After thinking about it, it only increased his worries. Chen Xiaobei shook his head. Now he can only take one step at a time.
Chen Xiaobei was right to worry. Zhou Quan rode out on horseback and ran towards Qingniu County for about seven or eight miles when he suddenly stopped.
The few guards who followed him were a little confused when they saw this. There was no place in front or behind, so why did they stop?
"Captain, what are you doing?"
Zhou Quan turned around and looked in the direction of Hetou Village.
"I suddenly remembered something. Your Highness the Princess is at Centipede Ridge. Since we can't invite Miss Liu, let's ask the Princess to come forward!"
After saying that, he turned his horse around and led the people towards Centipede Ridge.
It was noon in a blink of an eye.
Cui Hongyu saw that Liu Rumei did not come over for dinner, so she asked Chen Xiaobei, "Brother Xiaobei, what's wrong with Miss Liu? Aren't you going to pay homage to Sister Huang Ying?"
Chen Xiaobei agreed, "Well, yes, maybe she is busy and is preparing to teach the villagers how to read tomorrow. Ignore her and let's eat."
Chen Bo could vaguely guess Liu Rumei's thoughts, so he stopped calling if he didn't come.
After lunch, and after the villagers dispersed, Chen Xiaobei put the memorial objects he had prepared long ago back into the bamboo basket.
Then he carried it out the door.
Liu Rumei also drank two bowls of porridge and was waiting there. Since it was an appointment, she estimated that Chen Xiaobei would definitely come.
Soon, Xiaoqing rushed in and said, "Miss, my uncle is here and wants to go to the grave together."
Liu Rumei nodded and walked out. Without much greeting with Chen Xiaobei, the two of them ran directly to the east end of the village.
After entering the ancestral tomb, not far ahead is Huang Ying's tomb. The huge tomb looks a bit awkward.
The two of them laid out the sacrifices, lit the paper, and Liu Rumei began to chatter.
"Sister Huang Ying, just go ahead and leave it to me to take care of Brother Xiaobei."
"I have already held a wedding with Brother Xiaobei. From now on, I will help him start a new life. For our first baby, I will give him the surname Huang."
What he said made Chen Xiaobei want to cry and laugh at the same time. He didn't know what Liu Rumei was thinking. The first baby's surname was Huang. What was going on?
But, then again, it seems that there is nothing wrong with being the first person named Huang, and it can be regarded as a way to express some of my sorrow for Huang Ying.
Thinking of this, he also took up the topic and said, "Yes, Huang Ying, don't worry, I will live well. I know this is also your expectation."
At this time, Liu Rumei continued, "Sister Huang Ying, Brother Xiaobei said that he cares about you and can't let you go, so even though I have joined the Chen family, he has not done anything excessive to me."
"But we are already husband and wife after all, so I want to talk to you about you, and don't resent Xiaobei. The reason why I was asked to marry Brother Xiaobei was to save me. It was not because Brother Xiaobei had changed his mind and was a free spirit. .”
"I hope your spirit in heaven can keep us both safe and sound."
After talking, Xiaoqing came forward and held Liu Rumei's shoulders, "Okay, miss, let's go back."
Liu Rumei stood up and looked at Chen Xiaobei, but Chen Xiaobei waved gently.
"You go back first, I will stay with Huang Ying here for a while."
Liu Rumei didn't say much, turned around and left with Xiaoqing.
After they left, Chen Xiaobei burst into tears.
"Huang Ying, it's not that I didn't want to cry just now, I just didn't want Liu Rumei to be too sad here. I'll nag you a few words since there's no one around."
"In order to rescue Liu Rumei from prison, the emperor wanted to grant me a marriage. I had no choice but to do it. If I want to blame you, blame my incompetence."
"In addition, Liu Rumei has told me many times that she wants to spend her whole life in this small mountain village. I am a little confused now. In fact, I know that we are not from the same family. She comes from a wealthy family after all."
"Originally, I thought she might be able to stay in the mountain village with peace of mind, but Zhou Quan came to see her again just now, and now Dacang Country is in trouble again."
"But Liu Rumei married me after all. If she wants to go out, I must accompany her, otherwise I won't worry. So, if I leave, I don't know when I will come back. I will tell you today You guys, if I don’t come to see you for a long time, don’t think that I’ve forgotten you.”
After Chen Xiaobei rambled on, he burned some paper money for Huang Ying. Then he reluctantly got up and left.
At this time, Zhou Quan also found Xiaojiazhen. He first ran to Centipede Ridge and then found Xiaojiazhen.
After arriving at Xiaojia Town, I found Duyiwei, and found the princess through Feng Xiaoyue.
This is a lot of trouble. It was indeed exhausting for Zhou Quan.
Princess Zhaoning was surprised when she saw Zhou Quan coming, "If you don't protect my brother well, why are you here?"
Zhou Quan bowed and briefly explained the situation, "Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince asked me to travel day and night to invite Miss Liu to come out, but when I went to Hetou Village, I was met with disappointment."
After hearing these words, Princess Zhaoning actually smiled and said, "You guys, you are asking for trouble. My father forced Miss Liu to marry Chen Xiaobei. Now when something happens, I think of you. You deserve it."
When Zhou Quan heard this, he must have felt cold. He thought that the princess would take the overall situation into consideration and go to Chen Xiaobei to say a few good words for him, but he didn't expect it. Instead, he was scolded.
But it's okay to be scolded. It's okay to invite Liu Rumei to come out.
Thinking of this, he said respectfully again, "Your Highness, please help me persuade Miss Liu to come out."
Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaoning shook her head like a rattle, "Impossible, Zhou Quan, just give up on this. It's impossible for me to do such a thing for you. Go back and tell my brother that you want to invite Liu Rumei When my sister comes out, he will do it by himself."
