When she went to Ningzhou, she arranged to buy the food and supplies prepared by her aunt and sister-in-law at home. She not only bought more charcoal, but also bought a lot of food.
The girl smiled and said, "Yes."
There was a knock on the door, the maid opened it, and Minghui's servant walked in, "The young master is not in a good condition."
Just now the young master did not enjoy the scenery and left the telescope behind. The guard used it to see several small boats approaching the big ship quickly. It seemed that there were pirates in this section, and today's heavy rain was a good weather for committing crimes.
Minghui listened to the servant's words and said with a serious expression, "Send someone to notify the ship merchant."
The servant went out quickly and the guards outside were already guarding the door.
Yuyi stood up and walked to the window, "This rain is indeed a natural protection."
Minghui saw that his sister was not afraid, "Not afraid?"
Yuyi smiled, "The guards we brought are all experts, so they are not afraid."
Minghui smiled. The people sent by the elders in his family were all experts who were good at seeing blood.
They were indeed pirates. Because of the advance warning, more than 30 pirates were surrounded as soon as they climbed up. A fight had already started below. Some pirates ran to the top floor and kept screaming.
Yuyi heard: "Mr. Zhou, help me, Mr. Zhou."
Yujiao looked at Brother Minghui, who rolled his eyes. Shouldn't he be hiding in the room at this time? How stupid of him to bet on him!
Minghui didn't move at all. There were guards guarding outside the door. After a few breaths, the guards started fighting with the pirates. The result was obvious and it became quiet outside soon.
After waiting for a while, the servant knocked on the door and said, "Fourth Master, it's over. The ship merchant wants to see you."
Minghui didn't plan to bring anyone in, and planned to meet outside. He looked at Yuyi and asked, "Do you want to come together?"
Yuyi knew that there was blood outside, so she curled her lips and said, "Okay."
Yu Jiao looked at her brother and then at her sister, pursed her lips and reached out to hold her sister's hand, "I'll come too."
Yu Yueyang stared at his fiancée with burning eyes. Although he didn't say anything, his attitude was already very clear.
Minghui opened the door, and the rain outside washed away the bloodstains. He asked the servant, "Is anyone injured?"
The servant replied, "The two of them suffered some minor injuries and have been treated."
Minghui hummed, and the servant took the umbrella. Yuyi still felt a little uncomfortable looking at the bloodstains. She tightened her cheeks and was thankful that it was raining heavily so the smell of blood was not strong.
Yujiao was still afraid. The little girl didn't want to embarrass the Zhou family, so her hands were shaking but she kept holding it.
Yuyi saw the girl sitting in the corner. She was frightened by the fight just now and was sitting there in a daze. The old woman beside her was protecting her with a pale face.
The merchant came up, and Minghui stood straight, "Have you caught them all?"
The merchant had a gloomy face. Many people were injured and some died. "Thank you for your warning, sir. Otherwise, I would have to die to pay for my crime."
Minghui, "It's better to speed up and don't hand over these pirates yet."
The ship merchant understood that who knows whether the local government has been bribed or not, so he became ruthless. Those who run long-distance ships all have backgrounds, and he also has a backer.
The ship merchant wanted to ask the young master where he came from, and the people around him told him that the top-level guards were all rare masters. Seeing that the young master had no intention of saying anything, they thanked him again and left.
When the ship merchant went downstairs, he turned around to look at the young man and young lady standing together. He was really brave and asked people to serve him carefully.
After a while, the ship merchant brought a thank-you gift, a few nice gems, which Minghui accepted promptly.
In the capital city, Zhou Shuren and the retired emperor sat opposite each other. They had been sitting quietly for a long time, mainly while the retired emperor reminisced about the past and Zhou Shuren accompanied him quietly.
After another cup of tea, the emperor said, "I will go to Rong Mansion in person tomorrow."
Zhou Shuren was not surprised, "Fourth uncle will be very happy."
The Emperor said again: "After visiting the old man tomorrow, you will accompany me to visit the Rong family's cemetery."
Zhou Shuren hurriedly said: "Grand Emperor, you."
The Emperor raised his hand, "I have made my decision."
Zhou Shuren could only shut his mouth and said, "I will accompany the Emperor."
To be honest, he had only been to the Rong family cemetery once, and that one visit was enough to shock him.
The emperor had no intention of chatting, nor did he say to let Zhou Shuren go. Finally, Zhou Shuren could no longer sit still, "I have been in the palace for a long time."
The Emperor looked at the clock and asked, "It's already two hours?"
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, I just realized that he ate a whole plate of snacks and went to the toilet once.
The emperor looked out the window and saw that it was getting late. The light was even darker because of the snow and the weather was gloomy. "I won't keep you here any longer."
Zhou Shuren stepped out and walked on the snow, thinking, The Emperor has been calling himself "me" all day long.
Outside the palace, Jinyan had been guarding. Zhou Shuren came out and said, "You must have been frozen after waiting for so long."
Jin Yan, "I have been waiting in the car and have not been cold."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Go home."
When he got home, Zhou Shuren walked into the house and saw his wife standing up to greet him. He reached out and held her plump hand, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I thought you would leave the palace soon, but it took less than three hours."
Zhou Shuren, "I'm sorry to have made you worried."
"Are you hungry?"
Zhou Shuren ate some snacks and was not hungry. "No, have you eaten?"
"I had a bowl of soup at noon."
Zhou Shuren sent the maid away before he said he would sit quietly with the emperor and then go to the Rong family cemetery.
The next day, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren accompanied the fourth uncle back to Rong Mansion. When they arrived at Rong Mansion, the fourth uncle looked much better. When the emperor arrived, the fourth uncle was eating candy.
The Emperor said, "You should take good care of yourself."
Rong Yuyun shook his head, "No, I want to rest."
The emperor looked at Ming Teng and said, "This child is a good one. You can rest assured."
Rong Yuyun's cheeks turned red. This was a disguised assurance from the Emperor. "Thank you, Emperor."
The retired emperor was not afraid of the Rong family. He did not mention the help the Rong family had given him. He just said that there were only a few people left in the Rong family, and he also wanted to protect the Rong family out of selfishness.
Afterwards, Rong Yuyun talked about the time when the Rong family was still alive, talked about the family tradition, and said a lot of things. The memories that should have been forgotten became clearer and clearer.
The emperor retired only left when the old man was tired and wanted to rest, and then took Zhou Shuren to the Rong family cemetery.
The carriage drove out of the city, and Zhou Shuren helped the retired emperor get off the carriage. It had been snowing yesterday, and the first snow had stayed. The white snow covered the cemetery, and everything was white.
The emperor didn't come forward, but just watched from a distance, and finally said: "Let's go back."
Zhou Shuren heard the sound of the wind, which blew the branches, like someone whispering. Zhou Shuren got on the carriage and looked back.
The next morning, before Zhulan and her husband got up, the crying voice of Boss Zhou was heard in the bedroom. Zhou Shuren sat up suddenly. He had guessed something in his mind, and it was just as he had guessed. He felt very uncomfortable, his eyes were red and tears were coming out. He got up, put on his clothes and came out. Boss Zhou was crying sadly.
Zhulan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said to Qingxue, "You go and arrange it."
Qingxue: "Yes."
Zhou Laoda was very sad. "It was still dark today when my uncle suddenly stood up and started talking to Ming Teng. I thought it was not good and wanted to ask my father to come, but my uncle refused and even drove his son out to be watched."
Zhou Shuren patted his eldest son's shoulder and said, "Don't blame you. This is what your uncle meant."
At the last moment of his life, the old man just wanted to be with the heir of the Rong family!
