Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

After eating the yanmian, the three adults were all sweating and their lips were red. Fortunately, before eating, Liu Rusi specifically told the owner that Xiao Qinhao's noodles should be without various condiments. Although only bean sprouts and green onions were left, it still saved them from the spicy pain.

It was getting dark, and they didn't need to have dinner when they returned to the inn. After Liu Rusi cooled down the spiciness, she prepared to wash up and rest.

"Knock, knock," there was a knock on the door.

"Rusi, here is a letter addressed to you... It's from Yue Qianzhang, do you want to take a look?" Chu Shiyu looked at the letter in his hand with hostility. Although he was sure that Liu Rusi would never go back to Heguang Academy, the existence of Yue Qianzhang was equivalent to reminding Liu Rusi that he, Chu Shiyu, was a villain who deliberately belittled others in order to achieve his goals.

But who can be a gentleman to the person they like? Anyway, Chu Shiyu can't do it.

Liu Rusi opened the door directly, but did not let him in. She took the letter from his hand at the door and looked at the intact wax on it. The seal was indeed Yue Qianzhang's private seal. She opened the envelope and took out the letter. Liu Rusi read the letter in front of Chu Shiyu.

Chu Shiyu looked calm, but he was secretly unhappy. Her actions were obviously to avoid suspicion. Men and women should be separated, and entering a woman's room was a disrespectful act. But except for some people who deliberately made trouble, there were also some famous families with strict family traditions, who were generally not too harsh. At least no one would control him.

They have known each other for so long... at least more than two months, right? At this point, why should they be shy about anything? Who can't see that Chu Shiyu has feelings for Liu Rusi?

Yes, he did it on purpose. It was only a matter of time.

But his mutterings soon disappeared. Liu Rusi looked at the letter and slowly revealed a sincere smile. She said with curved eyebrows: "Yue Qianzhang's children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law have all recovered from their illnesses! Except for the scars on their faces and bodies, there are no other sequelae!"

She seemed to think that the letter was so well written that she read it again before putting it down and said, "I want to write a reply to Yue Qianzhang... and also write a letter to my uncle. Can you help me mail it?"

"Of course!" Chu Shiyu agreed hurriedly. It seemed that she was really happy! She even forgot to be polite to Mr. Chu!

Liu Rusi immediately went back to her room to write a letter, but said that she would give it to him tomorrow morning, then she closed the door and drove Chu Shiyu away.

Chu Shiyu was not annoyed. He had learned during this period that it was good for Liu Rusi to be rude to him. It was even better if she deliberately made things difficult for him. The anger she gave him was not anger, but another kind of emotional communication.

Little Qin Hao had just finished washing up in the room and saw his mother writing under the light. He immediately went over happily. He seldom watched his mother write, but every time he did he felt relaxed physically and mentally.

Liu Rusi never rushes or gets impatient when writing. Every stroke is clear and distinct. There is no technique or brushwork involved, but it looks very comfortable and gentle.

"Mom, do you want my uncle and his family to go to Heguang Academy?" Little Qin Hao was a little confused. He could sense that this was the meaning in the letter, but it was said in a somewhat ambiguous way.

Liu Rusi smiled and showed Xiao Qinhao the letter from Yue Qianzhang next to her.

Little Qin Hao read the letter, first a smile appeared on his face, then his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Grandpa Yue wants to give Heguang Academy to Mom!"

Liu Rusi stopped writing and couldn't help laughing at his exaggerated reaction. She said while laughing, "Grandpa Yue is a self-disciplined scholar. Saving his three relatives is of course a great favor that he can never repay. But he wants to give it to the academy, but we can't accept it. You also know that mother only made some suggestions and wasted some time."

"But I can't just refuse. If I do, I'm afraid Grandpa Yue will be obsessed with it and have trouble sleeping and eating, and I'll have to think of other ways to repay him. So Mom told Grandpa Yue her idea and let him have a choice."

"It just so happens that Heguang Academy is not far from our Dongshan Village. Mother asked him to look after it occasionally and see if the two uncles have the talent for studying. But this matter cannot be forced. If the two uncles are not suitable for studying, we can't let Grandpa Yue carve flowers on rotten wood."

Little Qin Hao quickly understood what his mother said, nodded thoughtfully, then rolled his eyes and said, "Then I also want to write a letter, to my two little uncles and my great uncle!"

The next morning, when they went to the inn's restaurant for breakfast, Liu Rusi handed several letters to Chu Shiyu. They were all put in envelopes but without sealing lacquer or stamps - mainly because she didn't have such things.

Chu Shiyu took the letter and had the thought of taking a look at it, but then he gave up the idea. He had already been a mean person, so he shouldn't do such an ungentlemanly thing.

He even stamped his own seal on the letters and sent them through his own channels to prevent others from having the opportunity to read them.

Under Chu Shiyu's strong suggestion, Xiao Qinhao and Caiyun put aside their studies and decided to have a good time together for a few days.

The first thing to do was to teach Liu Rusi and Caiyun how to ride horses so that they could go to places that were farther away and where carriages could not easily pass.

Little Qin Hao was too small. Even though he was extremely smart, his body was still that of a child who was about to turn five years old. There were no foals here, so he could only watch from the side.

In addition to telling you some points to pay attention to in advance, the first thing to do when teaching horse riding is to get on the horse. The horses in the inn and the horses they brought with them are all good horses, that is, tall, strong, with long and powerful legs.

Liu Rusi was not weak, but she was born with a small frame. She estimated that she was about 1.6 meters tall. It was indeed a bit difficult for her to step on the stirrups and mount the horse from the beginning.

Then the opportunity that Chu Shiyu had been waiting for came. After she failed to get on the horse for the third time, he stepped forward at the right time and offered to help her get on the horse first and then learn other things.

Liu Rusi looked at Chu Shiyu with a complicated expression. How could she not see his little thoughts? But she really wanted to learn horse riding, which was an absolutely useful skill in ancient times. If she didn't learn it now, who knew when she would have the opportunity to learn it in the future.

Seeing her nod, Chu Shiyu kept a calm expression on his face, naturally stretched out his hands to hold her hips, and with a little effort he lifted her steadily onto the horse's back.

How could it be so light? Chu Shiyu secretly marveled at it, and took her for a walk on the horse to help her get used to it. When they walked to a place farther away from the stables of the inn, he began to teach her the commands and movements for controlling the horse.

Chu Shiyu’s teaching was very detailed, and Liu Rusi’s comprehension ability was not bad either. In less than a moment, she could control the horse and walk freely.

At this time, the horse servant next to her also brought his White Hoofed Black Horse. Chu Shiyu climbed onto the horse and then walked slowly beside her, staying very close to her so that he could take over her reins at any time.

A subtle feeling of satisfaction lingered in his heart. Riding a horse side by side with the woman of his dreams, it was such a wonderful thing. In the past twenty years before he met her, it seemed that nothing could compare to what he had now.

After riding for a while, they walked back to the stable. At this time, Caiyun also got on the horse and was learning the basic instructions of controlling the horse from the guards.

Caiyun has also learned to move forward and stop, but sometimes she has trouble controlling left and right turns. She would occasionally ask the horse: "Can you turn left? Left, left is this way..."

Liu Rusi smiled when she saw it. A thirteen-year-old girl should be lively and cute like she is now. Fortunately, she did not become as dull and depressed as Meihong and Zhuqing.

However, as she was looking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. When she looked closely, she saw that it was a wooden staircase-like object. She had used something similar when she got on the luxurious carriage before... She immediately realized what it was used for.

Liu Rusi turned her head and squinted her eyes to look directly at Chu Shiyu who was standing beside her.

As soon as Chu Shiyu came over, he discovered the flaw, but his eyes signaled to the guards with their backs to him and the horse servants behind him, but they couldn't receive it at all... At this time, she finally saw through him. He looked up at the sky and the ground but not at her, and kept cursing the guards in his heart for not keeping their eyes away and climbing the steps.

Several people spent the whole morning learning about horses. Except for little Qin Hao who was curious at first but later got bored and read a book, Liu Rusi and Caiyun both gained a lot and had no problem riding and running.

In addition, Liu Rusi discovered that the height of the stirrups could be adjusted, and her horse was set very high at the beginning...

After lunch and a good rest, the four of them were finally able to go out riding.

Chu Shiyu let little Qin Hao sit in his arms, followed by dozens of mounted guards. A group of tall horses rode out of the north gate in a majestic manner.

The most worthwhile place to visit in the city by the river is naturally the area by the river. Although they have seen many river views on the boat, there are still different experiences from watching on the boat and on the shore.

Strolling along the road by the river, there are many people going to and from Fubin City. Most of those entering the city are carrying various goods in their hands and shoulders, and most of those leaving the city are empty-handed and just vaguely protect their arms.

However, there was a very peculiar group of people. They were wandering around the street in a lively manner, shaking small drums and beating gongs. If you looked carefully, you would see some people in the crowd wearing exaggerated robes and masks, and there were also people holding up idols in gorgeous clothes and colorful costumes.

"Do you want to follow and take a look?" Chu Shiyu asked. The three of them looked at the group of people, obviously interested in them.

"Are there any taboos?" Liu Rusi was also curious. In the past, there were many regions in the world with similar traditions, but the customs in different places were different. If there were taboos, it would be better not to offend them out of curiosity.

Chu Shiyu did not answer on his own. He raised his head and signaled the guards to go forward and ask. Most of the people around him were sensible. One of the guards got off his horse and walked forward, asking the people on the edge with a friendly face.

After a while, the guard came back and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, this is a team praying for the blessing of the Great River God. Jiang Min said that the more people there are, the better. The bigger the ceremony, the more solemn it will appear. You only need to follow behind the God on horseback and don't cross him. But one thing is that you must respect the Great River God and not say anything that would offend him."

Chu Shiyu naturally didn't think there were too many rules. He had participated in the heavenly sacrifice ceremony in the capital many times, and there were many more rules than this. After seeing that Liu Rusi and Xiao Qinhao had no objections, he took the lead and rode his horse to catch up with the blessing team.

A few people just wanted to join in the fun out of boredom, but they didn't expect that after not long, they became the center of the fun.

The entire praying team kept looking back at them, especially at Liu Rusi and Chu Shiyu who were in the lead, and some people were whispering among themselves.

Finally, after a strange awkward moment, an old man who was obviously highly respected in the blessing team came over and said, "Sir and Madam, could you please follow the guardian of the Great River God..."

As the old man spoke, he saw little Qin Hao in Chu Shiyu's arms and asked, "And this young master, are you willing to offer fruit to the God?"

Chu Shiyu and Liu Rusi looked at each other and saw the speechlessness in each other's eyes, but neither of them had any objections. After all, they came out to have fun, so changing the way they played was still fun.
