Chapter 518: determined not to let go

Chapter 518 Determined not to let go

Yue Yue’s house is at the end of the trail, compared with other houses, their place seems to be higher, but when Xiao Jin enters, he still has to lower his head so as not to touch the door frame.

Walking into the door, the light immediately becomes dim, and only the door and windows are open to have weak sunlight coming in.

Hearing the sound of the moon, the woman came out from the back room, and they were very surprised to see Su Ying.

Immediately, he greeted with a warm smile, "Our place is simple, you guys don't want to dislike it."

Moon smiled brightly, and she didn't feel inferior because of her family situation.

"Mother, I invited my sister and the others to come and eat the dates you made. Do it quickly, and don't make my sister and the others wait too long."

The woman nodded with a smile, "Hey, okay, mother will do it now."

Yue Yue took a small stool and asked Su Ying and the others to sit down, because the stool was too small, it looked particularly funny for Xiao Jin to sit on it.

Who would have thought that the king of a country could huddle in this hut and wait to eat dates?

The two little guys were very curious about the environment here, but they were very polite and didn't look around.

"Sister, did you say that you really don't need to prepare anything when you go to the academy tomorrow? If I don't know if I don't bring anything, will it offend my husband?"

"No, you just need to bring your personal belongings with you, and prepare the dishes and chopsticks."

Moon Moon's face was full of anticipation, wishing she could go to the academy now.

"The empress is really a good person. If it weren't for the empress, Yue Yue would never know what the head of the school is like in this life." The lady came out with a plate of dates, and Su Ying could smell a sweet smell from a distance.

"Try it, if you like it, I'll decorate it for you."

"No, we shouldn't bother you at home."

Xiao Jin was polite to the woman, and took the opportunity to ask about the situation here.

"Hey, the people living here are all the poorest families in the capital, not even the villagers outside the city. Anyway, they still have fields and land, and we have nothing."

I learned from the women that most of the people who live in this place have left their hometowns to work in the capital, because they are too far away from home, and they can’t go back at ordinary times. If they have more money, they may be able to go back to their hometown. Look, but money is hard to earn nowadays, not to mention saving money to go back to the hometown, even food and clothing can barely be solved, the people here are just trying to survive.

So when they learned that the Empress opened a girls' school to recruit girls from poor places like them, how happy they were.

"The moon is a woman, and she can't be pointed out to make her stand out. I hope she can learn something and don't have to suffer like us for a lifetime."

"Mother, don't worry, I will come back to teach my brothers after I have learned the characters in the academy, so that my brothers can follow suit, and after my brothers can also learn to read, I can work as a waiter in a restaurant, so I don't have to work so hard in the future." gone."

For them, a waiter job is decent.

The sky gradually darkened, and the room was almost completely dark. The woman lit the only oil lamp and wanted to keep Su Ying and the others for dinner, but Su Ying refused.

For them, the daily rations are barely enough, if they go to eat again, they will probably have to eat tomorrow's food.

"Sister, I will take you out."

"good."

The moon walked ahead with an oil lamp. It was just dark at this time, and the road was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the road under your feet.

"Sister, walk slowly."

"Okay, go back and be careful."

"kindness."

Su Ying and the others returned to the carriage, the imperial guards had already put out the night pearls for lighting, and the interior of the carriage was instantly illuminated by gentle and soft light.

After a day of walking, the two children were sleepy, and fell asleep in their arms not long after getting in the car.

Today's situation made the atmosphere in the carriage a little gloomy.

Su Ying broke the calm, "Although their life is poor, they are lucky not to be disturbed by war."

Xiao Jin raised his eyes in surprise, and immediately laughed, "We have thought of one place." Compared with the cruelty and displacement during the war, it is a blessing to have a corner of stability.

"But as the king of a country, he still hopes that his people can have enough food and clothing."

"You can, Xiao Jin, I believe in you."

"kindness."

After returning to the queen, Zhou Qing, who stayed in the palace, sent a roster over.

"My lady, this is from Ms. Zhou, saying that the academy is full of students. This is the roster and the background of the students. Let me have a look."

Su Ying opened the booklet, and saw the names on the booklet at a glance, all big girls, recruiting younger brothers, and coming younger brothers.

"Take it to the household department and ask the household department to confirm it. After confirmation, tell me about it."

"yes."

After walking outside for a day, Su Ying lay down on the bed after taking a bath at night.

When I woke up again, it was already daylight outside.

Looking at the golden light coming in through the window, the first thing Su Ying thought of was whether the little girl Moon had arrived at the academy.

At this point in time, the morning court in the front hall was over, Xiao Jin and several ministers went to the Imperial Study Room to discuss the most important matters for now, and then let them retreat.

"Your Majesty, King Yu asks to see you."

Xiao Jin flicked the folded hand and paused, "Let him in."

"yes."

Yu Wang Kuo stepped into the hall and bowed to salute.

"King Yu doesn't need to be polite, please get up."

King Yu stood up straight and said: "Xiao Wang came this time to tell the emperor that the father has agreed to the emperor's terms of peace, and the things the emperor wants have already departed from the southern country and will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Xiao Jin just nodded, and simply answered a good word.

King Yu's eyebrows jumped, and he said: "Father asked Xiao Wang to go to Chu to negotiate peace. After the thing arrived, he should go to the border to pick up the capital in person. Counting the time, Xiao Wang is now starting from the capital and waiting for the things. When it is sent to the southern border, the two parties can just meet."

"What does King Yu mean to go to the border to welcome the team from the southern country?"

"Yes, that's exactly what it means."

Xiao Jin shook his head slowly, "There is no need to be so troublesome, I will send someone to guard the border to welcome the southern team."

The fists in Wang Yu's sleeves clenched suddenly, "Xiao Wang is also worried that the people who came here will not be thorough enough to make the emperor angry, and it will be bad if they destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

Xiao Jin laughed heartily, "King Yu is overthinking, I have already seen the sincerity of the Southern Kingdom, even though King Yu has fun in the capital, just wait for the things from the Southern Kingdom."

King Yu's nails were almost digging into his palms. No matter what he said, Xiao Jin was determined not to let him leave. Could it be that he wanted to let himself stay in Chu as a pity!
