Chapter 53 Purchasing Study Supplies

Although he wanted to change the current situation, shouting in the quiet night was still a bit too much for Shunyu.

Fortunately, someone from the Lu family noticed the little princess and told Lu Qing about it. Lu Qing was surprised and took off his hat to see that it was indeed Princess Shunyu standing not far away.

He stood up and walked around with his cane, "Why did your highness get off the carriage?"

It was cold that night and it had started to snow. Shunyu was wearing little, so it was inappropriate for her to get off the carriage at this time.

Shunyu scratched her sleeves with her fingers, "The horse is dead, and the carriage can no longer be used."

Lu Qing was suddenly in a dilemma. The horse died, so the princess had no carriage to ride, but now he was penniless and did not have the money to buy a new horse for the princess.

He ordered his clansmen to get two down jackets for Shunyu, thinking that she should at least have a piece of clothing to wear first. It was so cold at night and she was afraid that she would get sick.

However, before the tribesmen could get the clothes, Shunyu suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Qing and said, "Lord, I want to go with you."

Not only Lu Qing, but all the members of the Lu family were shocked!

If they wanted to leave together, they could leave together. It wasn't a big deal. Why did they have to kneel down?

Although her title of princess was abolished by the emperor, she was still a member of the royal family after all, and the old man was no longer an official, so why would he kneel down to the Lu family?

The eunuch was also frightened, and stepped forward to help his master up, but the man just knelt in front of Lu Qing, as if asking for something, so he knelt down as well, and it was unreasonable for him to stand while his master was kneeling.

"Your Highness, please stand up!" Lu Qing reacted and hurried to help the little princess.

At this time, Gu Xingzhao also noticed this side. He ignored Du Hangwu and quickly walked back here.

Shunyu did not stand up, but looked up at Lu Qing. He came up to support her. Looking at her from this angle, she suddenly recalled the time when she was a child and eavesdropped on Lu Qing's lectures to his royal brothers.

At that time, I was not even as tall as the elder's legs, so I stepped on stones and leaned over the window to peek, but I fell.

Lu Qing came out to help me at that time, just like he does now, except that he was still very young then, not with a head of white hair like he does now.

The princesses had other teachers to teach them, but she liked Lu Qing, who taught her brothers, more. She thought what he said was much more interesting than what others said, so she would often go to peek. Later, she fell badly one day, and Lu Qing reported the matter to his father.

The emperor knew about it but did not blame me. Instead, he praised me and had a table suitable for me set up inside so that I could listen with my brothers.

At that time, other teachers who were teaching the princes were dissatisfied. They felt that the world had been clearly defined since ancient times, and that women should learn the female precepts and observe female virtues, and they should not listen to these things with the other princes.

Only Lu Qing was different from those teachers. He fought against four or five people alone and kept his own table.

But after two years, I grew up and could no longer sit at the same table with men, nor did I have the chance to listen to Lord Lu's lectures.

Now, she thought back to the past and recalled what her royal brother had done. She found it ridiculous in her heart. Her royal brother had not absorbed a single thing that the Master had taught him.

Shunyu looked up at Lu Qing, hesitated for a while, and said, "If you have time, can you continue to teach me to read and write like before?"

She didn't want to be like the man in the capital, who ended up being a cruel, heartless, and complete hypocrite.

Lu Qing was slightly startled and sighed, "Your Highness, I am no longer an official. Please don't call me that anymore."

He helped Shunyu stand up and said, "Your Highness wants to listen, and I am naturally happy to tell you. However, I am in a remote place with nothing and I don't know what to tell you."

As far as I can remember, I have taught so many princes and sons of ministers, but I didn't expect that the most studious one was Princess Shunyu, who had only been teaching for less than two years.

Sometimes he wondered if it was his own problem, otherwise how could the current emperor become like this.

Shunyu whispered, "Just say what you said before. There was no chance before, but now..." There is nothing that can stop me.

Lu Qing thought about it and decided that this was not something to be difficult about. Besides, it would be good to have something to do. Besides, his granddaughter was already eleven years old, and it was time for her to study and learn sensible things.

But

Gu Xingzhao was surprised that the little princess had come to terms with it and was no longer troubled by the death of the maid. She now wanted to study and even came to Lu Qing. This was a good thing.

But looking at Lu Qing, he seemed to be in some difficulty.

"Lu Qing, are you in any trouble?"

Hearing the ancestor's voice, Lu Qing was overjoyed: "Ancestor, I have a favor to ask of you."

This was the first time that Lu Qing took the initiative to ask him for help. Gu Xingzhao smiled and agreed, "Just tell me what you want. If there is anything, I will definitely get it for you."

Lu Qing: I want some books.

Afraid that his ancestors would not understand, he explained: Princess Shunyu wanted to study, and his granddaughter was also old enough to go to school, so he thought, why not teach her himself and let the two of them listen together.

Gu Xingzhao smiled and said, "Reading is a good thing. Tell me what book you want. I will go find it tomorrow and send it to you in three days at most."

Women in ancient times had few opportunities to study, and there were a lot of female chastity rules that restricted their words and actions. Moreover, with such an emperor in power, how many books could Shunyu read?

At first, she thought Princess Shunyu was cowardly and indecisive, but now it seems that after leaving the palace, she has more ideas.

Lu Qing listed more than ten books in a row, but asked for two first. After all, they had to travel during the day, and it would be troublesome to carry so many.

The next day, Gu Xingzhao got up early and searched the Internet for the books that Lu Qing mentioned. They were all available, but considering that the exile team had to travel day and night and should not carry too many things, she thought about it and decided not to buy physical books.

She bought three smart readers online and asked the seller to download all the books Lu Qing wanted. She also paid the postage and asked the seller to send them directly by the fastest courier.

Considering that studying requires calligraphy practice, Gu Xingzhao specially picked out the best pen, and bought a water writing cloth and a school bag. Because most of the time was at night, Gu Xingzhao added two portable desk lamps, two tables and a support.

The table and the support are mainly used for practicing calligraphy. I can deliver them to them every night, which is not too much trouble.

At the moment of payment, she suddenly felt like she was raising a daughter, so she quietly bought a box of sanitary napkins and sleeping pants.

On that day, Gu Xingzhao posted a message on his Moments: So this is what it feels like to raise a daughter. I want to give my daughter the best things.

Not long after she posted on WeChat Moments, she received likes and comments. She clicked on them and saw that it was from Xu Shisan, the owner of an antique shop whom she had just added as a friend.

Xu Shisan: Sister, you look so young, do you have a daughter?

Xu Shisan: What does your sister's daughter look like?

Xu Shisan: Why don't you reply to the comments, sister?

Xu Shisan: My sister is so pretty, her daughter must be very cute too.

"."Gu Xingzhao's silence was deafening.
