After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

After leaving this message, the old man took the hairpin she handed over.

But before leaving, the old man asked her name.

Shen Chu thought the other party was just asking casually, so he didn't think much about it and told the other party directly, "My name is Xiaochu."

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded repeatedly, as if confirming something.

"Xiaochu, Xiaochu is a good name. Next time I see you, I will return the extra money to you."

These were the last words the old man said before he left.

Shen Chu didn't take it to heart.

Because in her opinion, such words were just polite remarks and could not be taken seriously. If she believed them, she would be wrong.

But at this moment, when he heard the old man's voice and the excitement on his face, Shen Chu felt that something seemed to be wrong.

This development was completely different from what she had imagined.

Even after so much time has passed, there is still someone who keeps it in mind and thinks about it all the time.

This was a very novel experience for her.

Shen Chu stood there, blinked slowly, and was hesitant to respond to the old man's words.

The old man, who didn't get an answer, looked a little embarrassed and began to look around nervously.

But he didn't leave immediately.

It seemed that in his heart, he had indeed found the person from three years ago.

That's why I have to wait for an answer.

Shen Chu, noticing this, clenched his hands at his sides. After a long pause, he finally nodded, "It's me, Grandpa."

There was a smile in her voice and she seemed very easy to talk to.

He seemed happy about this matter.

After hearing Shen Chu's answer, the old man's originally cloudy eyes became brighter, and he immediately fumbled in the pocket of his worn clothes as if he wanted to take something out.

His movements were so obvious that Shen Chu could easily see them.

Maybe he really needs to pay back the extra money he had.

Although she never thought of taking the silver back, she was still touched after learning about the other party's actions.

Especially this little thing, the other party remembered it for three years.

Perhaps in the past three years, when the old man was selling candied haws on the street, his eyes would be like today, looking among the people passing by, looking for the girl who handed him the hairpin three years ago, wanting to return all the extra silver to her.

But he never met the girl again.

But even so, he still did not choose to give up, but searched day after day, and finally three years later, he found the girl.

Perhaps this little bit of money was nothing to Shen Chu, but the other party's persistence moved her.

Looking at the small change in the old man's hand, Shen Chu couldn't control the expression on his face, and his eyes showed heartache.

"Grandpa, you can keep this silver. I have already given you the hairpin."

As she said this, she raised her hand to stop the old man and signaled him to take the silver back.

The old man understood what she meant, but he didn't do as she asked. Instead, he waved his hand with a kind smile on his face. "Our family is not that poor. You can take the silver back. I haven't felt safe keeping it with me all these years, for I'm worried that I'll spend it someday."

As he said this, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu San's arm, and forcefully stuffed the silver into Xu San's palm.

For some reason, he did not choose to put the silver into Shen's hand, but chose to put the silver into Xu San's hand.

Perhaps he also knew that as an unmarried girl, it was not good for him to touch her casually.

Looking at the extra silver that suddenly appeared in his hands, Xu San's expression was a little conflicted.

He seemed to be thinking about whether to return the silver to the old man.

But before he could think of an answer, the old man turned and left, leaving them with only a lonely but elegant back.

Just now, Shen Chu noticed several patches on the old man's cuffs.

The old man is not short of money, but he doesn't want to take money from others casually.

What's the saying?

The saying "A man may be poor but his spirit is not poor" probably refers to people like this.

Shen Chu shifted his gaze to Xu San's palm and chuckled, "Please treat us to some candied haws."

Hearing this, Xu San immediately nodded, "No problem, I'll go now."

As he said this, he strode over and bought a few strings of candied haws from the old man.

He did not return the change that the old man had just handed him, but used the money he had on him to pay for the candied haws. The money he gave was just enough to buy four strings of candied haws.

Not giving extra money out of pity for the other person, isn't this another kind of respect?

Shen Chu also saw it all.

The smile on his face became even brighter.

The four of them walked side by side towards the general's residence, joking from time to time, looking very happy.

Walking on this road, an idea suddenly emerged in Shen Chu's mind. If he could be like this in the future, it would be very satisfying.

But whether it is her or someone else, they all know clearly that it is difficult to maintain such a situation for a long time, because people will grow up one day, and then they will each have their own family. It is hard to say whether they can get together like they do now, let alone be together like this.

Thinking of this, Shen Chu suddenly felt that her thoughts were a little too pessimistic, so she immediately dismissed the idea in her mind at the moment and stopped thinking about things that made her unhappy. She would deal with it later, and it was enough to live in the present.

Xie Ming was hunched over the desk, holding a wolf-hair brush that had just been dipped in ink in his hand, his thoughts drifting away.

He thought that Chu'er might have arrived in the capital by now, might have reunited with her father, or might be chatting and laughing with others.

I just wonder if his name will appear in Chuer’s topic, and if there will be any connection between him and her?

Xie Ming always felt that his decision was a bit too hasty. He shouldn't have let Shen Chu leave. He didn't want her to leave at all. The reason why he insisted on this matter was simply because he didn't want Chu'er to continue wasting time in Yancheng.

Because he felt that even if Yancheng returned to its former glory, Chu'er would not be happy here.

After all, this is not Chu'er's home. The capital is where Chu'er grew up. No matter how prosperous Yancheng is, it cannot compare to the capital.

This is true for both Chu'er and him.

Looking at the memorials spread out on the desk, Xie Ming suddenly lost interest. He immediately stood up and left the study and went to the courtyard.

As soon as he walked out of the study, he saw a stone table in the pavilion not far away. On the stone table was a plate of washed fruits, most of which were grapes.

Because he had seen that Shen Chu liked to eat the grapes in the fruit bowl the most, he specially instructed the servants in the other courtyard.

But at this time, no one touched the fruit plate placed in the pavilion.
