married daughter

Chapter 244 Chapter 262~263 Do everything; close care
Because Ruan Yunting's trip was sudden and time was running out, Dai Ming and Han Su met her, and had no choice but to leave after exhorting her.Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan sent them away together.Go straight to the main gate of Xu Mansion.

Dai Ming was slightly shorter than Han Su, and the two stood side by side. Han Su, who was dressed in black clothes, was a bit more noble and arrogant, while Dai Ming looked more elegant.

"Ting'er, remember to bring a message back." Thousands of words were hidden in his eyes, and Dai Ming thought for a while, and he could only say this.

Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "Okay."

Han Su's sharp eyes swept over Dai Ming, and when he looked at Ruan Yunting, how could he still have any energy?

"Yunting, be careful all the way." After thinking for a while, ignoring what Dai Ming thought, she pulled Ruan Yunting's sleeve to one side, and said in a low voice, "Is your silver tael enough?" Folding the banknotes: "These are the income of the past quarter just sent by shopkeeper Tao, you can take them with you."

Ruan Yunting quickly shook her head: "No need, I'm going out with Mr. Mo, so I don't need money."

"Take it with you, and let me rest assured." Han Su covered the banknote with his sleeve and stuffed it into Ruan Yunting's hand: "Remember to seal the banknote in a few small packets with oiled paper, and keep it with you in several places. , so that if you lose one, you will lose all your belongings. Don’t lose yourself outside, and use the money when it’s time to use it.” After a pause, he said: “Even if I lent you, I will pay you back with interest later. "

Ruan Yunting didn't know Han Su's intentions. After saying all these things, if she refused again, she would really not treat him as a friend and would hurt his heart. Besides, if she went all the way to the west, she really didn't know if there was any place to use money. There is nothing wrong with being more prepared.

"Okay, then lend it to me first." Ruan Yunting put the banknote into the embroidered bag.

Han Su is tall and tall, with dignified black clothes. Although Ruan Yunting only wears a blue plain-faced beanie, she has no makeup, but she can't hide her beauty and delicacy. picture.

Ruan Junlan watched, sighing inwardly.In fact, he didn't like his sister's contact with powerful people at the beginning, and he also felt that his thinking was naive and one-sided.With their identities, who would they marry in the future if they were not rich and powerful?It will never be a trafficker.The emperor gave Ruan Yunting to Dai Ming to be his concubine, so it's better for him not to stop him and let Ruan Yunting follow Han Su. If there is anything in the future, Han Su will love and pity her more because of his feelings for her. At least knowing the basics is better than being with others...

Dai Ming's dark and deep eyes flickered, and the hands behind him clenched unconsciously. At this moment, he really wanted to pull Ruan Yunting back to him by instinct.But reason is the majority after all, he can't be like this.When the two get along, she must be given enough space, and she cannot be deprived of the right to make friends. Besides, it is not her fault that Han Su loves her.Now if she behaves caressingly and strictly controls her, Ruan Yunting may alienate him, after all, she has not married him yet.

Ruan Yunting and Han Su said a few words and then turned around. In fact, it only took a moment. Of course, Ruan Yunlan and Dai Ming had no idea that various thoughts had already flashed in their hearts.Thinking of not seeing each other for at least two months, I feel somewhat reluctant.

"Zhiqian, help me take care of Sister Fei. Time is tight, and there are still things to explain at home, so I can't go to see her."

"I know." Deming smiled gently.

Han Su gave the "self-defense money" to Ruan Yunting, somewhat relieved, no matter how much he stayed, there would be a parting, and there was a gap between Dai Ming and Ruan Yunting's new life, so he turned around casually and left with Jing Sheng.Dai Ming explained to Ruan Yunting what must be paid attention to when going out, and finally left Xu's house reluctantly.

After people had gone far, Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan turned back and entered the mansion. They had just stepped up the steps when they saw Han Bin's family standing in the door with a smile on their faces.

"Mother Han." Ruan Yunting went up to meet her, and held the arm of Han Bin's family affectionately: "When did you come?"

"Back to the girl, I've been here for a while, and I saw the girl saying goodbye to the eldest son and Mr. Dai, so I didn't bother you." Looking at Ruan Yunting with pity, the tone of Han Bin's family was full of worry: "It's the first time I'm going out far away. Miss, you should listen more to the words of the Inspector of the West, it is better to take care of yourself outside than in the mansion."

"Yes, thank you, Mother Han." Although the heart of Han Bin's family is always the old lady, they have always taken good care of her. Ruan Yunting designed her to leave her side, which can be regarded as a fulfillment for the two of them. For Han Bin's family, It still feels the same.

Only then did Han Bin's family sigh, and said: "Look at the old slave, who is so chattery that he almost delayed the old lady's important affairs. The old lady asked the old slave to come and inform the girl that she will go to the Pine Age Hall for dinner today. You have prepared your favorite side dishes."

Presumably the old lady also has something to order.Ruan Yunting agreed with a smile, and sent Han Bin's family back to report, while she followed Ruan Yunlan back to Pine Age Hall.

Hongdou and Chanjuan had already packed her luggage for her, saying she didn't bring anything, but they even packed three bags.Ruan Yunting frowned, took out the useless gorgeous clothes inside, thought for a while, if there was a proper occasion, she should wear them decently, and then took the white gauze dress from Xiujian Villa that Dai Ming gave her On the skirt, she also wore a royal blue horse riding suit with a hundred butterflies and flowers, just in case.As for the usual clothes, I only brought two pieces. Naturally, I didn’t need much rouge, gouache and jewelry. I just picked the white jade head and earrings and put them in a small sandalwood box.

Looking at her little burden, Hongdou disagreed very much, and after a few words of persuasion, Ruan Yunting said: "I'm here to serve the Inspector, and I'm not going out to play, I'm not that particular.

Seeing her like this, the girls could only give up and leave the space in the house to Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan.

Without outsiders, Ruan Yunting found out the greased paper, took out the bank notes that Han Su had stuffed for her, and counted them, it was 8 taels.

He said it was the income of these three quarters, but they have always split the money in half. Since the opening of Guiyun Pavilion in Liangcheng and the three branches in neighboring towns, after excluding expenses, she has earned a total of 8. Two, this time, Han Su gave her all his income that went to Yun Pavilion.

The hand that cut the oiled paper stopped.

"Sister? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Ruan Yunting looking at the bank note in a daze, Ruan Yunlan pushed her suspiciously.

Only then did Ruan Yunting regain her senses, and said: "It's okay, by the way, this is for you." She took out a 500 tael silver note and handed it to Ruan Yunlan: "You take these first, and if you need something urgently, you won't lose sight of it." Ma Hei."

"So much?!" Ruan Junlan looked at the banknote, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

Ruan Yunting once used the price of rice to calculate that one tael of silver in Daliang Kingdom is almost equivalent to RMB 650. 500 taels of silver is indeed a lot of money. While studying, I have never handled so much money.

"This is our money, you take it." Ruan Yunting handed him the money.

Ruan Yunlan hesitated to hold the banknotes, pursed her lips and said nothing, she was very happy and grateful to be protected by her sister, but at the same time, he was really frustrated, he is a man, and my sister has the ability to earn so much With money, he can still pass the university entrance examination, but he wants money but no money, and he wants grades but no grades.

Ruan Yunting seemed to know what Ruan Yunlan was thinking, she smiled and took his hand, "Brother Lan, don't think too much, when you become an adult in the future, my sister will rely on you."

"En!" Ruan Yunlan nodded heavily.

Ruan Yunting didn't expect that a casual word of comfort from herself would become Ruan Yunlan's motivation.

During dinner time, Ruan Yunting went to Pine Age Hall for dinner. She thought that all the ladies from each room would be there, but the old lady didn't call those people, but called Xu Chengfeng instead.

"Sixth Cousin? Long time no see, you came back early today." Xu Chengfeng proclaimed himself a fifth-rank imperial guard, so it goes without saying when he is on duty. Ruan Yunting is busy with school, and she has to go to Lord Mo's house after school. It was already dark when I returned to the mansion, and I haven't seen a few times in the past few months.

Xu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will go out with Master Mo, and today the emperor specially asked me to come back early."

"Sixth cousin is going too?"

"Yes."

The old lady ordered the food to be served, and the three of them sat down, while Han Bin's family stood aside to serve.

"At first, Ting'er was traveling alone, but I didn't feel at ease, but now I feel at ease after seeing her. At any rate, Ting'er still has Feng'er to rely on outside."

Xu Chengfeng laughed: "Grandma, don't worry, we will take care of each other, and Ting'er is following Mrs. Mo, so she should be fine."

"Hey, my mother is worried about my son who has traveled thousands of miles. Brother Feng has been on the battlefield for a long time and has seen the world. The emperor treated Mr. Mo kindly and ordered you to accompany him to protect him. Grandma is not too worried. After all, the big scene is not as big as the battlefield, isn't it? It's Ting'er who I can't let go of." The old lady waved to Ruan Yunting, beckoned her to sit down beside her, took her hand and said, "Ting'er, you are away from home, you must remember to take your What matters is the face of the Xu family, how many pairs of eyes are looking at it, you must live with yourself."

It turned out to be more worried about this.

She thought she was worried about her comfort, worried that she would sleep in the open...

Ruan Yunting was a little disappointed in her heart, and the smile on her face became more gentle and sweet: "Yes, don't worry, old ancestor, Ting'er will not let down the Xu family's cultivation over the years, and will not embarrass you and make the Xu family difficult. made."

"Good boy, you are still caring." The old lady put her arm around Ruan Yunting's shoulder and shook.

%%%%
Ruan Yunting was wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress, and was sitting in the carriage. The hot wind blew in through the gaps between the bamboo curtains and the curtains, stroking the broken hair on her temples. However, the sun was in the sky, and the wind could not relieve The stuffy heat in the air and the smell of mutton filled the narrow space, making the air even more stuffy.

Ruan Yunting looked helplessly at Mo Jianbi who was flipping through the book while eating mutton buns.

There is not much space in the carriage, and Mo Jianbi forced himself to pile up a stack of books and a few plates of snacks and fruits in the corner, and there is a fixed desk in the middle, so there is too little space for her to move around.And the road was uneven, and the carriage kept bumping.Ruan Yunting didn't suffer from motion sickness originally, but she felt dizzy even after bumping like this, so she didn't even eat lunch.Unlike Mr. Mo, he really has a good appetite.

Traveling in ancient times was really a torture, no wonder Hongdou and Chanjuan were so worried.She had never traveled far in ancient times, and she even ignored the reality that there were no highways and underdeveloped transportation in ancient times. The joyful mood when she first left Liangcheng was exhausted, and now she was only tired.

Mo Jianbi raised his eyelids, stuffed the last mouthful of mutton buns into his mouth, casually grabbed the handkerchief to wipe his hands, turned a page of the book, and said without raising his head: "I don't want to write at the moment. Don't wait for the pen and ink, you go back to your carriage."

Just as she wanted.Ruan Yunting secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Master Mo."

Can't wait to stop the carriage.

The team on the west tour was accompanied by ten imperial guards including Xu Chengfeng, followed by five hundred Jingji guards, Mo Jianbi's carriage was at the front of the team, and in the middle of the team were Prince Xiwu Guoduan and Princess Qionghua. There are nearly a hundred people in the car and the accompanying guards from Xiwu Kingdom.Ruan Yunting's own small dark blue carriage followed closely behind a dusty carriage, ranking third in the entire team.

Just now she asked curiously, there should be no other adults who need to ride in the same carriage, who owns the second carriage?Mo Jianbi's answer made her dumbfounded. He said that there were books and snacks in the carriage...

What a foodie!

Seeing her get out of the carriage, Xu Chengfeng rode his horse up to meet her, reined in the horse and let the horse pace a few steps in front of her.

"Why did you come down?"

"Lord Mo asked me to go back to my car."

"Oh, let's go quickly, don't delay the entire team's journey, and we should set up camp after a while. The town ahead is too small, Mr. Mo is worried about disturbing the people, and I'm afraid we'll sleep in a tent today." Xu Chengfeng showed Worried: "Ting'er has never lived in a tent, has she?"

"No, that's why I find it novel." Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "Don't worry, cousin six. I'm out now, and I'm not here to enjoy myself. I can adapt to all kinds of situations."

Xu Chengfeng naturally knew Ruan Yunting's temper, she was not that delicate, so he smiled relievedly and said, "Okay, get in the carriage." Turning over, he put Ruan Yunting into her carriage, and the leading carriage passed the one behind her. After falling for a certain distance, the small pause did not affect the progress of the whole team at all. After helping Ruan Yunting cover the curtain of the carriage, Xu Chengfeng got on the horse and followed the carriage.

Ruan Yunting buried her body in the soft pillow wearily.

Her carriage was covered with a thick cotton mattress, and her baggage and two large guide pillows were also placed. Although the bumps and noise still existed, it was good to be able to lie flat for a while.There is a faint fragrance of flowers and plants in the air, and the gaps in the car curtains blown by the wind, and the green field outside can be seen, which is better than the lingering smell of mutton.

Ruan Yunting was thinking wildly, and fell asleep without knowing it.

When I woke up again, it was already evening.Ruan Yunting was woken up by the lively sound of people camping outside.

In the whole team, apart from the female relatives brought by Princess Qionghua of Xiwu Kingdom, there is only one Ruan Yunting on the side of Daliang Kingdom who is a woman.The men were working, naturally in full swing, and Ruan Yunting slept in the carriage, and no one asked her to get up to help.By the time she combed her long hair and got out of the carriage, the camp had already been set up, and the soldiers were busy making fire and cooking.

Ruan Yunting walked up a small slope with a slightly higher terrain. They camped next to a small stream, and about ten miles away was a medium-sized village.

If their team of nearly a thousand people arrived in the village, they might disturb the people and have no place to stay.Master Mo is very wise in this respect.

"Ting'er!"

Xu Chengfeng's voice came from behind.

Ruan Yunting looked back, and saw Xu Chengfeng holding a horsewhip, wearing soft armor, and stepping on light soap boots, dodging in front of her like the wind.

"It's such a messy place, why don't you just stay in the carriage and come out and walk around!" Xu Chengfeng opened his mouth to reprimand, looked her up and down with concern in his eyes, saw that she was fine, then slowed down and said "Here is no better than at home. Now there are five hundred guards in the team, all of them are hot-blooded men, and there are also guards from Xiwu Kingdom. Those barbarians are even more rough. Where have they seen a woman with your appearance? When you are okay?" Don't leave the carriage, it's fine to stay with Master Mo, and you should try to stay in the tent when Master Mo doesn't need to wait on you."

Ruan Yunting fell asleep in a daze, and her brain started to function at this moment, she understood the meaning of Xu Chengfeng's words, her heart warmed up, and she said with a smile: "I understand, but don't worry, cousin, soldiers are human beings, not beasts , will not swallow me alive. Besides, I am the only female family member appointed by the emperor to accompany me, if they don't want to lose their heads, they naturally dare not neglect."

Xu Chengfeng gave her a sideways look, "You're the only one who makes sense!" Pulling her sleeve, he was about to drop it.

Ruan Yunting pointed to the big village behind, and said, "Where is that place?"

"Wangjiazhuang." Xu Chengfeng replied casually.After a while, he seemed to come to his senses, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Ruan Yunting giggled and said, "Cousin, with so many of us, people on the road must spend a lot of money on horse chews. Is there enough food?"

Xu Chengfeng said with a cold face: "Enough is enough, if it is not enough, of course there will be a special person in charge of purchasing, you don't want to beat me up and pay attention."

She looks like she likes to make trouble?Ruan Yunting blinked innocently: "I just left Liangcheng with great difficulty. When I came out, I just wanted to walk around. If it doesn't work out, forget it. I won't really run away by myself." She is not stupid. Biliangcheng, with no protection around him, going out is very easy to cause trouble.

"It's good that you know." Xu Chengfeng sighed helplessly, and said, "I'll send a trustworthy guard to protect you along the way. Although I have intentions, my ability is limited after all, and it is impossible for me to protect you all the time. By your side, this guard will alternate with me to ensure nothing goes wrong."

So is not bad.Ruan Yunting smiled gratefully when she heard the words, "Thank you, cousin."

"You!" Xu Chengfeng tapped her forehead lightly: "I've already made a kiss, why don't you look safe."

The two returned to the camp, Ruan Yunting ate half a steamed bun and some cooked vegetables, and then went to Master Mo's camp to serve the pen and ink.After all, she is not a maid, and she is away from home, Mr. Mo doesn't bother her too much. When it is dark, he asks her to go back to rest, which is also sympathetic to her suffering.

Ruan Yunting has been tossing around all day, and now she is tired and can't sleep. She lies on the blanket and looks up at the top of the tent. The night shines in through the white curtains, forming a dark blue haze in front of her eyes.

Just when Ruan Yunting was falling asleep, she suddenly heard the slight sound of clothes rubbing against the tent door.It seems that someone is approaching!
Ruan Yunting woke up in a jerk, her big Jianshui eyes widened with fear, but she did not act rashly. If the person who came was really a villain, if she speaks out rashly, she might be killed immediately, why not Waiting for the moment...

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt that the man entered the tent and squatted down beside him.The unique aura of men gave Ruan Yunting a strong sense of oppression.

In the darkness, Ruan Yunting tried hard to see the man's face clearly, and her thoughts, influenced by the fright, were also running rapidly, looking for the most effective self-protection strategy.

Unexpectedly, a familiar voice that was as deep and melodious as a guqin came to my ears unexpectedly.

"Ting'er, it's me."

Ruan Yunting sat up straight in astonishment, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xiao!? Why are you here!"

There was no lamp in the tent, and Ruan Yunting didn't dare to light it, for fear that people outside would see that there was someone here.Through the night, she could see that Xiao Beishu was clearly wearing the soft armor of the army guards. She was used to his unrestrained and tall figure like the wind, but now that he was wearing the soft armor, his masculinity was undeniable. There is no longer any way to hide it.This man should have put on a military uniform so that he could live up to the aura given to him by the heavens.

If you look closely, his face seems to have changed, but no matter how his face changes, his posture and voice cannot be faked.Ruan Yunting just let go of her heart
"When did you become a guard? Could it be that you were negligent and kicked out by the head of the mountain, and you don't want you to go?"

Hearing her tone, looking at her delicate snow-like face in the dark, Xiao Beishu smiled, his face became stiff after changing his appearance because of this smile, he looked at her tenderly, and only said: "I'll come look at you."

With a thud, Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat, and immediately reprimanded in a low voice with a cold face: "Mr. Xiao is too childish, it doesn't matter if you leave Liangcheng privately, but you can change your appearance and mix with the guards. It's not fun anymore. Are you afraid that Mr. Mo will lock you up? I can't bear it if you come to see me."

Ruan Yunting was so serious, Xiao Beishu was not annoyed, but his smile deepened: "Do you care about me?"

"You..." Today's Xiao Beishu seems to be different from before.Even though it was a dark environment, she could clearly feel Xiao Beishu's scorching gaze resting on her face, and the sincerity in his words was no longer concealed.

Seemingly feeling Ruan Yunting's nervousness, Xiao Beishu explained gently: "Don't worry, no one recognizes me. Guard Xu even kissed me to follow and protect you. It shows that I am very trustworthy."

"The guard my cousin mentioned is you?"

"Yes." Xiao Beishu said with a smile: "Even a mouse here belongs to the public. I don't worry about it. The emperor doesn't know what he thinks. Letting your delicate daughter's family suffer this kind of hardship, I will get better and better on the mountain." The more you think about it, the more you feel wrong, wouldn't it be better to just come and take care of you closely. With me here, you can rest assured."
