Chapter 805: Tang Wenqian's Bright Future
The Lu family members were stunned. "Really?"
"Yes." Others may not know, but Shu Yu was aware of it.
Tang Wenqian was following Xiang Weinan, which meant he had tied himself to the Fifth Prince's boat. As long as he accomplished something during this critical year before the Fifth Prince ascended the throne, his future would undoubtedly be bright.
Grandma said, "Master Tang is indeed a good person. He helped us recover Da Ya's dowry last time. If he has a promising future, it would bring honor to our entire Shishi Village."
After pausing for a moment, Grandma snorted, "It's just that his mother is difficult to get along with. She's always a hindrance, even though she doesn't have much ability herself. She thinks highly of herself and carries herself like a noblewoman every day. It's not endearing at all. Fortunately, Tang Wenqian was sent to school from a young age, learned to read and understand things. Otherwise, he would have been led astray by her."
Listening to Grandma's incessant complaints, Shu Yu smiled and continued reading.
Tang Wenqian's letter was not lengthy. It simply mentioned his situation, and after reading it, Shu Yu set it aside.
The sky had completely darkened, so Shu Yu said, "Let's reply tomorrow."
However, Lu Erbai said, "There's no need to reply. We should be able to return to Jiangyuan County soon. We can directly meet them when we get back."
Shu Yu fell silent. Soon... ah, the problem was that the imperial edict from the capital city hadn't arrived yet.
But Lu Erbai had confidence in her. "Maybe it's just delayed on the way. Ah Yu's heat patches are so convenient and effective, they must not be without rewards. Besides, these things were handed over by Master Qi, the Emperor won't disregard them. Didn't Brother Yao wait until now too?"
That made sense.
Since it's come to this, Shu Yu stopped being anxious.
However, as they waited, more than half a month passed.
Until the end of March, several people suddenly arrived at Heichang County's county yamen. Shortly after, they set off for Zhengdao Village together with the newly appointed county magistrate, who had only been in office for two months.
At that time, Shu Yu was washing clothes by the river. Now, she and Grandma were the only ones living in the house, and there weren't many clothes, nor were they dirty. She could finish washing and go back easily.
But there were several girls by the river, including the one who had talked to her at the river before.
This time, she didn't ask Shu Yu if she needed help. She simply squatted in front of Shu Yu on a stone slab, talking to her while grabbing the clothes nearby to rub.
"Miss Lu, I just finished washing. Let me give you a hand. Once we're done, let's go back together."
Shu Yu... "..."
She looked at the girl named Qing Qing in front of her and felt a headache coming.
Last year, she was somewhat shy and nervous when talking to her. How did she gain so much confidence in just a few months? She had become so proactive.
Shu Yu knew what she was thinking. She had her eye on Zhao Xi, right? But Zhao Xi was currently focused on Da Ya. Could she really not help a stranger when it came to her own sister?
Shu Yu took the clothes from her and smiled, "No need. I'm planning to go into the water later to see if I can catch a few fish. Since you're done washing, you should go home first. I'm sure your family must be busy, so don't delay your own matters."
Qing Qing's hands were empty, and her expression froze. She quickly said, "I'm not busy, I... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, another girl walked over from behind.
