Xie Fengya and Chu Shen walked behind, admiring the scenery of the other courtyard.
The inside of the courtyard is different from other mansions. It has the feeling of a country courtyard. There are even several thatched pavilions next to the lotus pond.
"Dawu, this place needs to be renovated, and it should be as close to the countryside as possible. People in Kyoto are used to the prosperity. If there are really a few bamboo houses and thatched cottages, they would like it." Xie Wanyu walked in front, giving instructions. .
Dawu nodded and wrote them down one by one.
When she reached the backyard, Xie Wanyu stopped. This place was where the treasure was found in her previous life.
At this time, several white cranes were standing there leisurely. After seeing so many people, they had no intention of leaving.
Everyone was shocked by this scene.
Dawu hurriedly explained, "This yard is too remote and overgrown with weeds, so these cranes have lived here for a long time, so I will drive them away now."
"No." Xie Wanyu refused hastily.
White cranes are called fairy cranes by everyone, and they are rarely seen especially in Kyoto City.
Probably because of the hot springs and the spring-like weather here all year round, the white cranes are attracted to the place and do not want to leave.
"Feed them well, and I'll count on them to make money in the future." Xie Wanyu said with a raised eyebrow.
Xie Fengya also marveled repeatedly, "I've only seen it in paintings, but this is the first time I've really seen this."
But Chu Shen was attracted by the weeds on the ground. He didn't care whether they were dirty or not, and started digging directly.
Xie Wanyu's eyes narrowed, "What are you doing?"
"These are extremely precious medicinal materials. Madam, please give me one." Chu Shen felt that he was a little rude and stood up hurriedly.
Fortunately, Xie Wanyu didn't care and waved her hand directly, "Okay."
Anyway, the treasure is deep underground, and his hands probably can't dig it more than two meters.
Everyone looked here and there.
Xie Wanyu also explained the areas where Dawu needs to improve.
Suddenly, the sky became gloomy and there were several muffled thunders.
The white cranes suddenly flashed their wings and hid directly in the corridor.
"Madam, the house in the front yard is fine. Let's go to the front yard to take shelter from the rain." Dawu looked at the weather and said.
Xie Wanyu knew that she couldn't go home at this time, so she agreed.
Although the main room in the front yard is a bit crude, it can barely accommodate people.
Xie Wanyu sat on the chair and watched the heavy rain coming. She couldn't help but sigh. They said that spring rain is as precious as oil, but now she didn't show it at all.
The rainstorm was so heavy that it didn't even stop.
Listening to the muffled thunder outside, Xie Fengya said, "Second sister, why don't I tell you a ghost story."
After Zhufang heard this, she immediately shrank and said, "Miss Third, please spare me, I'm afraid."
Da Wu was smiling, but he didn't have any expression. Anyway, he was a big man and had nothing to be afraid of. Aunt He was sitting on the horse next to him and also smiled.
Obviously not afraid.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's really disappointing." Xie Fengya said this and stopped talking.
But Chu Shen, who was cleaning his flute at the side, suddenly said, "How about I tell you a story."
Xie Fengya raised her hands in agreement.
Xie Wanyu didn't object. There was nothing here. It would be boring to just sit and wait for the rain. Since he was willing to talk, there was no need for Xie Wanyu to refuse. He just treated it as passing the time.
"A long time ago, there was a very small kingdom. The king there married a very ordinary woman to be the queen. But later, the king went to war, and the kingdom expanded its territory. It has become one of the largest countries, and all the ministers began to recommend it. My own women feel that the Queen's status is low." When Chu Shen said this, the joints holding the bamboo flute turned white.
Xie Fengya became interested, "Did the king divorce the queen?"
"There was so much pressure, so naturally I gave up." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Then the queen foolishly left the palace alone, walking aimlessly, but she didn't know that she was pregnant."
"Oh my God, how can a woman live with a child?" said Grandma He, shaking her head.
Chu Shen pursed his lips and said, "The queen gave birth to that child. Before the child reached adulthood, he died of depression. The child took the queen's things and found the king. Because he looked very similar to the king, the king recognized him. This kid."
After hearing this story, everyone was silent.
Chu Shen continued, "It's just that the child doesn't want to be a great prince or a prince. He just wants to be an ordinary person, so he often goes out of the palace to travel around."
Xie Wanyu's eyes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but look at the jade pendant on Chu Shen's waist.
"What happens next?" Xie Fengya asked.
"After that, the child was out traveling around the mountains and rivers. His father and stepmother at home had already married several wives for him." After Chu Shen finished speaking, he lowered his head.
Xie Fengya frowned slightly.
Xie Wanyu was the only one who knew that Chu Shen was forced to marry, so she also guessed that Chu Shen was talking about his life experience, but if his identity was a prince of another country, which country would it be?
Doro Country? Daqing Kingdom? Or Xixia Kingdom?
He couldn't belong to Da Yan, after all, Da Yan's empress dowager was only in her twenties.
Also suspicious was Xie Fengya. She stared at Chu Shen and said, "Are you talking about yourself?"
"No." Chu Shen said lightly.
"I don't think so. If you were really the prince of a big country, how could you become a doctor?" Xie Fengya shook her head.
Only Xie Wanyu felt that Chu Shen's identity was certainly not simple.
I don't know when the rain stopped, and everyone walked out and planned to go back.
Xie Wanyu deliberately walked slower until she kept pace with Chu Shen.
She then raised her head and asked, "Which country are you from?" Xie Wanyu did not ask him his identity.
"Xi Xia." He said two words lightly, but smiled, "I knew that if you were as smart as you, you would definitely guess my identity." As he said that, he shook his head.
Xie Wanyu smiled slightly, "I didn't expect your status to be so noble."
"I never thought about hiding it from you. How about going to Xixia with me? With my status, I will definitely protect you very well there." Chu Shen said proudly.
"Forget it, when I think of your wives I have never met, I feel that you are also a pitiful person." Xie Wanyu shook her head and said.
When Chu Shen heard this, his eyes dimmed, "Father also said that as a member of the royal family, he is not qualified to stay with his beloved woman."
Xie Wanyu looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.
Although Chu Shen did not deny his identity, Xie Wanyu could not regard him as the prince of Xixia no matter what, so she still called him Mr. Chu.
He has no ambitions, so Xie Wanyu will not make his identity public.
The mountain road was a little muddy after the rain, and it was already evening when we returned to the Hou Mansion.
Everyone was already hungry. Xie Wanyu even thought about what to eat, but Xue Xuening blocked her way.
