Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 658 A guest comes (1)

While the two were talking, Bei Ming, who had already left, appeared in the yard again.

He only heard his respectful voice: "Young Master, miss, we have a visitor coming to our door!"

Gu Panxia tilted her head, looked at him and asked, "Who is it?"

Beiming replied: "It's the current county magistrate of Qingyou Town and his wife."

 Gu Panxia's eyes lit up, "Aunt Hong and the magistrate are here? Bring them in quickly!"

Bei Ming nodded and said yes, then turned and left.

“Do you know Aunt Hong?” Lu Yuan was a little surprised.

“Before, when I was engaged to my uncle, I met him at He’s Mansion.”

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, how could he be so intimate after only meeting him once?

Gu Panxia added: "She knows about our relationship."

Lu Yuan suddenly realized, "It's no wonder!"

Hearing footsteps approaching, the two looked up and saw Beiming leading them in.

One was Aunt Hong whom I had met in He Mansion before, and the other was a middle-aged man in purple official uniform. He was slender, had a gentle and elegant face, and had a somewhat bookish temperament. He must be the county magistrate. Your Excellency, there is no doubt about it.

 After bringing the two of them, Beiming left again.

 Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan stood up at the same time to greet him.

 “I have met Prince Yi!” The county magistrate bowed and bowed.

Aunt Hong also wanted to squat down and salute, but Lu Yuan stopped her.

He looked at the county magistrate and said warmly: "Uncle Ji, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite!"

The current county magistrate is named Jizhong, and Lu Yuan has only met him a few times, when he was ten years old.

Aunt Hong held his hand, her eyes covered with mist.

Lu Yuan asked the two of them to sit down first, then poured tea for them, and then apologized: "I have been in Qingyou Town for so long, but I haven't been able to visit you two. It's Yuan'er's fault. Please don't ask Uncle Ji and Aunt Hong. It’s the blame.”

Aunt Hong shook her head and said with a smile with red eyes: "No wonder, no wonder, Aunt Hong is satisfied to be able to see Yuan'er again!"

 Looking at the stubborn little boy back then, growing up into a handsome and extraordinary young man, Aunt Hong felt both happy and filled with emotion.

Ji Zhong looked at Lu Yuan and couldn't help but said happily: "When we left the capital, Yuan'er was just a little kid. We haven't seen each other for a few years, but he has grown so big. He is still a myth of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now he has become a prince, a county prince. If the Lord knows at the bottom of the spring, he will also be pleased."

 Speaking of his mother, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly darkened, and a ray of pain flashed across his eyes.

He has fulfilled all his mother's expectations for him, but she can no longer see him!

While he was feeling sad, his hand placed under the table was suddenly held by a warm little hand. He turned his head slightly, but met Gu Panxia's worried eyes.

He raised his thin lips lightly and held her little hand with his backhand, indicating that he was okay.

Aunt Hong was silent and wiped her tears with a handkerchief from time to time.

Lu Yuan raised his hand, patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Aunt Hong, don't be sad. Mother treats you like a sister. If she knew you were so sad, she would be unhappy."

When Aunt Hong heard this, she stopped crying, nodded, and said with a choked voice: "Don't worry, Yuan'er. Aunt Hong just remembered some old things and felt sad for a moment."

She seemed to remember something and asked in a low voice: "How are the general and the old lady doing?"

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said after a moment: "My father is very good, but my grandmother... passed away not long ago."

Aunt Hong was slightly startled, as if she couldn't believe it.

Since she returned to Qingyou Town, she hasn’t had time to go anywhere, so she doesn’t know the news of the old lady’s death either.
