Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

Chapter 191 Lu Yu feels sorry for the poor food of Qilin Guards

Lu Yu and Lu Jiayi were talking all the way and soon arrived at the city gate. When the guard saw so many people, Lu Jiayi was in the lead, and asked only one question, "Are all those behind you the Duke's men?"

Lu Jiaqi nodded, "Yes, all of them."

The gatekeeper immediately opened the city gate and welcomed them into the city.

Wen Jieli also received the notice, and he immediately cleaned up a house under his name for everyone to rest.

Lu Yu originally thought that Wen Jie Li must be over 30 years old to be able to become a prefect, but when he took a closer look, he found out that he was just a young boy.

He was still a young man who was not very solemn, behaved carelessly, and had no official authority at all.

After all the personnel were arranged, Lu Jiayi introduced Lu Yu and Wen Jieli to each other.

Upon learning that the girl in front of him was the Duke's precious granddaughter, he became a little more solemn and greeted her politely.

Lu Yu clasped his fists in return.

"Thank you very much, Prefect Wen. Otherwise, it would be difficult to arrange for so many people."

Wen Jieli waved his hand, "Miss Lu Yu, you are too polite. I am where I am today thanks to the Duke. This little favor is not worth much."

"By the way, I wonder what Miss Lu Yu's dietary requirements are?"

"I don't have any requirements. I have a good appetite and I eat everything."

Wen Jie Li smiled and said to Lu Yu and Lu Jiayi, "Then the two ladies, take a rest. Dinner will be ready soon."

Walking outside, Wen Jieli took a deep breath. According to reliable information, this Miss Lu Yu was the heir favored by the Duke, and he must curry favor with her.

He looked back again and then strode away.

Dinner was soon placed on the table. It was not a sumptuous meal, but simply a simple one. The maid who served the food was relieved to see that the two sisters were not unhappy.

It's not that they are intentionally neglecting the two young ladies from the Duke's Mansion, but their masters are a little tight on money and can only put together this table.

Lu Jiayi and Lu Yu hadn't seen each other for many years, so they must have a lot to talk about. Zhang Hui was tactful enough not to have dinner with them, but with his subordinates.

Lu Yu wanted to keep her but was stopped by Lu Jiayi.

After the waiter left, Lu Jiayi looked at Bai Shi and Lu Yu and explained, "The dishes are a little simple, don't mind, sister Lu Yu.

Because war was imminent, all the local officials affiliated with the Duke's Mansion pooled their money and sent it to Qingci's cousin."

Lu Yu didn't care about the food at all. He was quite surprised to hear that the silver was given to Lu Qingci.

"Why is it for Lu Qingci?"

She had just finished speaking, and before Lu Jiayi could speak, she suddenly remembered something, so she stood up and walked out, "Jiayi, let's talk later, I'll go check on the food for the wounded."

Lu Jiayi also stood up and walked out.

This mansion is quite large, but with the thousand people in the Qilin Guard alone, plus the several hundred people brought by Lu Yu, it is still quite crowded to live in. The smallest room has to accommodate at least seven or eight people.

I guess there are still many people who need to live in the corridor.

They still had to sleep on the floor, which was almost the same as laying out a corpse.

Fortunately, Prince Xin and those officials paid for their accommodation in the inn at their own expense.

Now that all of their more than a thousand people were in this house, the space was just barely enough, and Lu Yu only walked a few steps outside.

She saw Qilin Guard and her cousin's husband squatting in the corner with bowls in hand, eating a simple meal.

Seeing Lu Yu, everyone felt awkward, and some slowly turned their backs to her.

At this moment, Lu Yu truly understood how difficult his grandfather's life was.

She felt distressed and angry at the same time. Her grandfather knew exactly how much supplies and food she had, but he never told her about it.

While blaming others, she also felt guilty. She was too negligent and did not realize her grandfather's difficulties early on.

Lu Jiayi, who had followed, saw Lu Yu's expression and patted her on the shoulder, "Sister Lu Yu, it's not that hard. At least you can have enough to eat."

Lu Yu didn't say anything and walked back. On the way, she saw a little Si and said, "Go and call your master over. This lady has something to tell you."

The servant saw that Lu Yu looked unhappy and thought to himself, maybe it was because the food was too simple and he blamed the master.

The servant ran to pass on the message with a worried look on his face.

When Wen Jieli heard Xiao Si's words and the description of Lu Yu's expression, he felt a little disappointed. The person that the Duke favors the most is so superficial?

He sighed, put down the coarse grain steamed bread in his hand, straightened his whitish robe, and strode towards the courtyard.

Back at the dining table, Lu Yu said nothing, just ate his meal with big mouthfuls.

Lu Jiayi had no idea what was wrong with her sister, she just accompanied her and ate in silence.

After the meal, Wen Jieli also arrived. As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard Lu Yu say, "Could you please ask Magistrate Wen to prepare a large empty warehouse? This lady has a batch of grain and grass that she wants to give to you."

Wen Jieli was stunned, and Lu Jiayi was also stunned.

The former was stunned because he had just guessed that the young lady was about to make trouble, but the result was the exact opposite.

The latter was stunned because she knew very well that Sister Lu Yu did not bring anyone else, and she did not have any business here or in the surrounding areas.

So where does the food come from?

Although Lu Jingmo knew that Lu Yu had a space, he never told anyone else in the family, because human nature is something that no one can control, not even his sons and grandchildren.

Lu Yu waved his hand in disdain at Wen Jieli, "Hurry up and prepare. We can't let Qilin Guards and others have such a bad dinner."

"Oh, okay." Wenjieli walked out of the house, his brain still not fully reacting.

After standing there for a while, he lowered his head and laughed. This young lady was quite interesting. She was worthy of being the one favored by the Duke.

He was now very curious about where this young lady got the food and fodder so quickly.

After Wen Jieli left, the servants came in and took away the leftovers.

Lu Jiayi did not ask Lu Yu where the food came from, but just returned to the topic before dinner.

"Sister Lu Yu, are you wondering why all the money was given to cousin Qingci?"

Lu Yu suddenly became interested, and his previous depression was relieved a lot. "Yeah, I'm curious!"

She looked at Lu Jiayi with a pair of shining black eyes, as if saying, tell me quickly, tell me quickly!

Lu Jiayi didn't keep the secret and said with a smile: "Because cousin Qingci started doing business four years ago to accumulate funds for grandfather."

"The expenses of the Qilin Guard for the past three years were all paid for by cousin Qingci."

Hearing this, Lu Yu felt guilty again. Everyone was working hard, but she seemed to be left out.

For so many years, she has been staying in Houqian City, concentrating on practicing martial arts. Apart from sending gifts to her grandfather and grandmother in the valley once a year, she has never paid attention to other things.

And her grandmothers and grandfathers never sent any messages, probably because they didn't want her to worry.

Bow your head and reflect on yourself, then make amends in the future.
