Chapter 466 - 466: The endless wait (1)
“Lady Zhen?” Lulu looked at him in confusion.
Lu huaijiang didn’t sit in the palanquin, but pulled Lulu up the mountain step by step.
Those who recognized His Highness did not dare to sit in the palanquin and could only walk not far away from His Highness with their heads lowered.
However, there were many civilians in the temple. At this moment, the two of them walked in the crowd like ordinary siblings.
“It’s the purity of purity.”
“Madam Zhen is Grand tutor Xie’s younger sister. Grand tutor Xie’s younger sister had been a rare talent when she was young, and hundreds of families had sought after her. The threshold was almost broken by someone.”
“Her original name is Xie Zi Xu, and she is a very talented woman. Back then, Lord Xie had not been the Grand tutor. In order to change the situation of the poor students, Lord Xie had accepted many poor students. One of them is called Lin Xun.” As the two of them climbed up the stairs, eunuch Lu was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
Sigh, it’s so troublesome to bring a little girl out.
Food, snacks, change of clothes, His Highness does not allow others to do it.
“What happened after that?” Lulu was extremely curious.
“Lin Xun doesn’t have much talent, but he’s extremely hardworking. He is also willing to do practical work and not as ambitious as others. This made Grand tutor Xie appreciate him and praise him.”
“When Xie zixu was of marriageable age, she even betrothed her sister to Lin
Xun,”
“Lin Xun has never married because of the Imperial examinations, but he lived up to expectations and became the top scorer at the age of twenty. At that time, Xie Zi Xu was 15 years old, so the marriage was arranged.”
“Lin Xun is an ambitious person who is willing to do things, and the top scholar usually has to enter the Hanlin Academy. However, he was willing to do practical work, so Lord Xie recommended him.”
“At that time, the aristocratic families rose in the court, and the palace wanted to promote the poor students. He then released the top scorer, second place, and third place, and let them recruit poor students from all over the country. They want to gather the power of the humble class.”
“Ranking second, tanhua, they’ve all returned after three years. Lin Xun didn’t.”
“Some say that Lin Xun is dead, while others say that Lin Xun went to the border and was taken away by a foreigner to marry the princess.”
“Xie zixu was ridiculed by everyone for three years, but she didn’t want to give up on the marriage. He had been waiting at the Xie family. This wait was thirty-two years.”
“It’s already thank you, Auntie. The daughter of the Xie family who has never married nnt ”
“There are even rumors that Lin Xun has seen through the world and is living in seclusion outside. Whether the rumors were true or false, they could not be trusted. However, it was a fact that aunt Xie had never married. The old lady who helped you that day was aunt Xie.” Although she was an old lady, she had the hairstyle of an unmarried woman, so most people in the capital recognized her.
After the Emperor ascended the throne and heard her story, he gave her a Memorial Arch.
They were loyal.
Later on, people rarely called her aunt Xie, but instead called her lady Zhen.
“You’ve waited for thirty-two years? Thirty-two …” Lulu mumbled. Thirty-two years, thirty-two. This number sounded familiar to her.
But when he thought of his godmother’s sigh, Lulu felt the same way.
Her mother had waited for a thousand years for her father to turn around.
When the two of them arrived at the National temple, the little monk was already waiting at the door.
“Grandmaster has postponed his lecture and is already waiting for you in the meditation room. Almsgiver, please enter.” The young monk was a little scared when he saw His Highness, but when he saw Jiang huailu, he was so shocked that he took a few steps back and almost hit the door.
Ah, he remembered.
Wasn’t this young female benefactor the one who had angered Grandmaster so much on the way back to the capital?
She was here again!
