married daughter

Chapter 285 Chapter 321~322 The fate of the flower depends on the flower viewer
Just now when they saw her, they killed her. If Xiao Beishu and Chen Biao hadn't rescued her in time, she would have died by now.It can be seen that these people don't want to know anything from her, so they don't have to keep alive.They kept asking Xiao Beishu to hand over the jade pendant. Could it be that Xiao Beishu had some precious jade pendant there?If what they were looking for was the bat pattern jade pendant on her body, then they should come to her, not Xiao Beishu.

Ruan Yunting couldn't figure it out, and now was not the time for him to sort it out. Those three people were murderous, as if Xiao Beishu said a word of "no" again, and they would swallow them up.

Xiao Beishu blushed anxiously: "I really don't know what you are talking about! If you don't believe me, you search, where do I have any jade pendants!"

Those three people looked at each other, the leader winked, and the people on both sides rushed up immediately.Xiao Beishu felt powerless, he had already exhausted all his strength just now, he was tired of resisting and losing to their attack, and was restrained by grabbing his shoulders.

"Speak or not!"

"Hand over the jade pendant!"

……

The two yelled and tightened their hands.

Xiao Beishu's face turned pale from the pain, he gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't know what jade pendant is."

"You're still stubborn!" The man who suppressed him put more force on his hands.

Xiao Beishu snorted, his face turned blue from enduring the pain.

Ruan Yunting's hands were trembling, she watched helplessly as Xiao Beishu was clamped but could do nothing.What should she do?
The jade pendant they are talking about is not yet known if it is her bat pattern jade pendant.If it is, she will definitely hand over the jade pendant, because in her eyes, even if the bat pattern jade pendant is very important to him, even more important than thousands of dollars, it is not as important as the life of a friend.You can earn money if you lose money, but where can you find people if you lose money?The problem is that the other party doesn't necessarily want her jade pendant, nor does he necessarily let them live after handing over the jade pendant.

Seeing Xiao Beishu suffer, but the feeling of being powerless, is comparable to heart-wrenching.Ruan Yunting bit her lower lip and was about to ask if they were looking for a jade pendant with bat patterns, but she heard the sound of arrows flying into the air and blasting from outside the alley.

The three of them were startled, and they all looked towards the alley. Chen Biao, who was knocked to the ground by them just now, had already disappeared.

There were orderly footsteps coming from far and near outside the alley, and soldiers in soft armor of the city defense army were seen holding long guns in an instant, and about three or forty people rushed into the alley.

"Oops! There are reinforcements!"

"Get out!"

Even if those three people were highly skilled in martial arts, it was impossible for them to fight more with less. After taking a look at Xiao Beishu, they all let go of their hands and ran up the high wall and flew away.

Xiao Beishu was unnaturally shaken back and forth by the suddenly released arms, obviously dislocated.Shaking twice, she fell to the ground.

"Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Ruan Yunting squatted in front of him anxiously, wanting to help him, but didn't know how to do it.

Xiao Beishu forced out a smile, "Don't cry, I'm fine."

Ruan Yunting touched her cheek, it turned out that tears had already flowed down at some point.When the situation was tense just now, she didn't feel it at all.

Chen Biao has already brought someone to the front, he held his chest and said, "Miss Ruan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, it's just Mr. Xiao's arm..."

"Let me take a look." Chen Biao squatted down, checked and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just dislocated." As she spoke, she already exerted force on her hand, and Ruan Yunting only heard a cracking sound from the bones. Then came Xiao Beishu's muffled snort.

Ruan Yunting's heart ached.

Both of Xiao Beishu's arms were attached, and the pain was unavoidable.With a wry smile, she said to Ruan Yunting: "It seems that I can't go to the house today."

"Your body is important, I will tell the old lady when I go back."

"Do you want to tell the truth?" Xiao Beishu frowned, asking for Ruan Yunting's opinion.

Ruan Yunting glanced at Chen Biao who was letting the officers and soldiers disperse, and said: "My sixth cousin is not a troublesome person, if I discuss it with him, the old lady can hide it."

"That's good."

"It's just..." Ruan Yunting hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Who are those people just now? Could they be related to the people who watched you outside Zhuju?"

Hearing this, Xiao Beishu didn't speak for a long time, his facial features were deep and masculine, with an intriguing inquiry, he asked in a low voice: "Ting'er, how do you know?"

Ruan Yunting said: "I used to go to your bamboo house all day long, and I always had some feelings, and that time there was a scandal between the two of us in the academy, and the story was decent, and even the details of washing our feet were revealed. I was guessing at that time that someone must be watching your bamboo residence."

Xiao Beishu gave a thumbs up and compared to Ruan Yunting.However, he forgot that his arms had just been dislocated, and he grinned in pain.

"Okay. Go back and rest soon." Ruan Yunting sighed, and said again: "The jade pendant they asked you for, is it..."

Before Ruan Yunting finished speaking, Xiao Beishu shook his head again and again: "I don't know what jade pendants they are talking about. I rarely wear accessories on my body. Maybe I wear a jade pendant once a year? If they want it, they probably won't. It must be an ordinary jade pendant, otherwise it wouldn't be so violent."

"That's right. Maybe they found the wrong person." Ruan Yunting said with certainty that those people were looking for the bat-pattern jade pendant in all likelihood, but they found the wrong person.

Because of her jade pendant, Xiao Beishu suffered, and Ruan Yunting felt more and more sorry. Xiao Beishu's protection of her just now also made her feel warm and guilty.

She lowered her head sadly, Xiao Beishu couldn't see the expression on her face clearly from Xiao Beishu's angle, he could only see her crow-green long hair hanging down her shoulders when her temples were pine hairpins, making her look petite and weak.

Xiao Beishu's eyes became gentle and complicated, as if it contained the coldness of the whole winter, and also seemed to be brewing the heat of the whole summer.

Chen Biao walked up to him and said, "Girl, can I send you back home?"

Xiao Beishu also whispered to her: "I'm going back to the academy too, you can read the report at Mrs. Xu's place, remember to come and tell me tomorrow."

Ruan Yunting nodded, and watched Xiao Beishu leave with Chen Biao. They arrived at the street, and there was a small carriage parked not far away. Chen Biao pointed there, "Miss, please get in the carriage."

"Thank you." Ruan Yunting bowed to Chen Biao and said, "General Chen, thank you for today's matter. If you hadn't saved me in time, I might have died and hurt you, your injury how was it?"

Chen Biao said with a smile: "I was injured, but it wasn't serious. I pretended to faint in order to get away. Those two are very skilled. If they continue to fight, I will definitely lose."

"Thanks to your wit."

"Where, the humble position is also under the order of General Xu."

When the two arrived at the carriage, Chen Biao helped Ruan Yunting into the carriage, jumped lightly, and sat on the shaft to drive the carriage.

Chen Biao sent Ruan Yunting to Xu's house and left first.Ruan Yunting didn't want to ask about his whereabouts in detail, she just wanted to ask Xu Chengfeng to thank him later.

After entering the door, I went straight to the Pine Age Hall. Han Bin's family was waiting in the courtyard. Seeing that Ruan Yunting was the only one who came back, she came forward suspiciously: "The girl is back."

After going up the steps, Ruan Yunting handed over the cloak of the academy to Huamei, thanked her with a smile, and walked around the ink-colored lotus embroidery screen to go inside.

The old lady was wearing a brand-new birdie blue makeup beanie, and a forehead of the same color with oriental beads on her head. She was sitting cross-legged on the bed, reading a book.

Han Bin's family spread a flowery cotton pad for Ruan Yunting. Ruan Yunting knelt down and saluted. After standing up, she said, "Old Ancestor, Mr. Xiao has something to do at the moment, and he said that he will come back another day to apologize to you."

The old lady turned a page of the book, ignored Ruan Yunting, looked at it for a while before raising her head, and said: "Forget it, if he really has something to do, just come back another day."

"Yes." Ruan Yunting noticed that the old lady's face was unhappy, and she only speculated about her thoughts in her heart, with a smile on her face.

The old lady dropped the book casually, helped Han Bin's family to stand up, patted the non-existent dust on the clothes, and walked slowly to the back room.

Ruan Yunting knew that she had something to say to herself, so she followed.

The heated kang inside is very hot, and the temperature is obviously much higher than outside the plywood cotton curtain. Some flowers and plants that the old lady likes are raised here. Some woody plants have lost all their leaves, standing alone in the delicate flowers. Extend the branches in the pot.Some herbaceous plants grow very vigorously.

The old lady picked up the flower scissors and said, "Ting'er, do you like flowers and plants?"

"It's okay." Ruan Yunting smiled, and stood aside with her head bowed politely, waiting for the old lady to speak.

After cutting off a yellow leaf, the old lady focused her eyes on the plants in the pot, and said in a relaxed tone: "I just like to grow flowers. Some flowers are not delicate. As long as you take care of them with a little care, they will reward you with satisfaction." The flowers in the basin are colorful. And the flowers are delicate or glamorous, they are beautiful and heart-pounding, and they will not show off, but they are just by your side so quietly, as long as your mind is not going well, just take a look at them."

The old lady took the scissors, and cut off a few yellow leaves with a few clicks, then paused and said: "Just look at the quiet and beautiful flowers, and your heart will calm down, and you will feel at ease. Disappeared too."

Ruan Yunting followed the old lady, nodded and said: "What the old lady said is that Ting'er is young, not as much as you think, old lady. It's just that the flowers are pretty."

"Really, you didn't think about it that much, grandma will tell you." The old lady put down the flower scissors, picked up the watering can, and watered a pot full of green leaves and no flowers. Can't hold too much water, and the water drops fall to the ground.

"A good woman should be like a beautiful flower, blooming prosperously and delicately, making people forget the world, pleasant, and not making people feel irritable and noisy. If you need to talk, she will listen quietly. Need comfort, and she will give it fragrance."

"Yes."

"However, good flowers need to be pruned well, right? Some places that protrude sideways just need to be cut off severely." As soon as the words fell, they clicked and cut off an overlong flower branch.

"If it grows crookedly, use wooden sticks and ropes to tie it up and straighten it up."

"If it attracts insects, it needs to be treated with medicine..."

The old lady looked back at Ruan Yunting, picked up a relatively large flower scissors, and cut off a pot of pomegranate flowers with no leaves but three pomegranate fruits the size of quail eggs.

The sound of dead branches breaking and the sound of scissors opening and closing made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"This flower has worms, and it's not good after spraying the medicine, so I can only cut it off. Otherwise, if the worms in a potted flower pass to other flowers, wouldn't my whole flower house be destroyed?"

"What the ancestor said is true, but Ting'er feels that the fate of a flower should not depend on a gardener, but on the person who appreciates the flowers."

Niao Na took two steps forward, picked up the pomegranate branches that fell on the ground, and said: "Plants are tenacious, and there are insects after using the medicine. It doesn't mean it can't grow, maybe it's just that the medicine is wrong. Move it to another room so that he doesn't infeste the other flowers, and you don't need to cut it."

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Ruan Yunting sharply for a while, "I always thought that Ting'er was young and didn't know how to appreciate and grow flowers. I didn't expect to have such an understanding of flowers."

"A tiger father has no dogs. Ting'er is the granddaughter of the ancestor, so she naturally followed the ancestor, and she has some understanding."

The two left the conservatory and went outside. The old lady asked Ruan Yunting about some things in the academy, and instead of keeping her for dinner, she let her go back.

Han Bin's family sent Ruan Yunting to the yard.

Ruan Yunting put on her cloak and asked in a low voice, "Mother Han, what happened in the mansion today?"

Han Bin's eyes flashed, and he smiled and asked, "Why does the girl ask like that?"

"Just now I saw that the old ancestor was not very happy." Ruan Yunting said bluntly, blinking her big eyes, with some worries about causing trouble for the elders: "Is it me? Did I do something wrong to offend the old ancestor? gone?"

Han Bin's family is inclined towards Ruan Yunting in their hearts, and they can't bear to see Ruan Yunting being so helpless, so they whispered: "Hey, girl, let me tell you the truth, Mrs. Dai has come to the house today. I brought gold and silver jewelry and high-quality materials, saying that I came to see you specially, but since you left school until now, I haven't seen you come back, Madam Dai didn't say anything at first, and then the eighth girl came back home I greeted the old lady from time to time, and said in front of Mrs. Dai that you went out with Mr. Xiao after school. In order to smooth things over, the old lady said that she actually asked you to bring Mr. Xiao back today, and Mrs. Dai waited again. After a while, seeing that you haven't come back, I left my things and went back. Now the materials and jewelry have been sent back to the Jingsi Garden."

After Han Bin's family finished talking, they helped Ruan Yunting fasten the neckband, and said with a smile: "But girl, don't worry too much. The ancestors and old servants know the girl's temperament. Mr. Xiao has friendship with our family, and he has friendship with you." There are good things, Mrs. Dai won't think too much about it."

"Thank you, Mother Han, for your reminder." Ruan Yunting saluted solemnly.

In fact, Han Bin's family didn't say anything, what she told Ruan Yunting, Ruan Yunting could also hear it from others when she returned to Jingsi Garden later.Ruan Yunting's sincere gratitude made Han Bin's family feel very sorry. They smiled and sent Ruan Yunting to the gate of Songling Hall, and watched her walk away before returning to the house.

When Ruan Yunting returned to Jingsi Garden, Chanjuan and Hongdou naturally told about Mrs. Dai's visit this afternoon, and the explanation was similar to what Han Bin's family described.

The future "mother-in-law" came to "inspect", but left without seeing the right owner, this matter is big or small.

Ruan Yunting didn't take it too seriously.She was able to sit upright, and when she went out with Xiao Beishu today, she had informed Deming in advance, and even if some thrilling accidents happened, she was not willing.She herself didn't have to worry about what to do, as the old lady said, "the branches slanted out".

But Ruan Yunting still didn't sleep well that night.In the dream, she dreamed that a group of men in black were chasing and killing her, and wanted to snatch her bat-patterned jade pendant. When her life was at stake, she had already compromised and was about to hand over the jade pendant, but the man in black raised a sharp knife and slashed at her. broke her hands.The pain in the dream was very real, Ruan Yunting couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, and when she woke up with a cry of surprise, she saw Chengchen above her head, her heart was still beating faster.In the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep no matter what, and when I was supposed to go to school the next day, I developed a low-grade fever.

"Girl, how good is this? Why are you so sick?" Chanjuan took a cold handkerchief and applied it to Ruan Yunting's forehead.

Zhao Linmu's family came in with porridge and soup, and said: "Miss is sick, please take a rest. The old slave just went back to the old lady. The old lady said that since she is sick, she will take care of her. Only when she is healthy will I allow you Going to the library."

Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "I'm not so delicate." But she doesn't really want to go to the academy, since the old ancestor has spoken, she just needs to rest.

After taking the medicine, Ruan Yunting fell asleep in a daze. Last night she couldn't sleep well after having nightmares. During the day, someone was very heavy. She didn't eat lunch and slept until the afternoon.After getting up, I really feel refreshed.She thought to herself that she was not causing the wind and cold, she was obviously scared by those men in black yesterday.

"Chanjuan, did sixth master go to work today?"

Chanjuan smiled: "You really asked, Liu Ye didn't go on business, he came to see you just now, but he saw that you were sleeping soundly, so he ordered his servants not to wake you up, he said he would come to see you later."

"Really." After Ruan Yunting got up to wash and wash, she put on a light beige double-breasted padded jacket, and said, "Bring me the small jar of green bamboo leaves that I brought back a few days ago. I'll go and see Liu Ye."

"Yes."

Zhao Linmu's family went, and after a while, they brought the small jar, Ruan Yunting asked Chanjuan to follow, and the two went to the guest house.

Xu Chengfeng is leaning on the recliner at this moment, reading the military book and eating snacks at the same time.He was very surprised to hear that the servant reported that Miss Ruan had come.

"Sixth Cousin." Ruan Yunting entered the door and handed over the wine jar with a smile. "

"Hey, what is this for?"

Seeing that there was no one else around, Ruan Yunting saluted Xu Chengfeng seriously: "Thank you for your cousin's help. If you hadn't arranged for Chen Biao to be by my side, I'm afraid I would be in danger."

Xu Chengfeng didn't speak immediately when he heard the words, but was stunned for a while, and he hesitated after reflecting for a long time: "Ah, it's nothing at all, it's all trivial things. Small things."

Ruan Yunting smiled when she heard the words, "I know that my cousin cares about me. This is a new good wine I got a few days ago."

Chanjuan placed the small wine jar on the table with both hands.

"I don't go to school today, why don't you cook and make two small dishes to thank my cousin?"

Xu Chengfeng was very embarrassed, but he knew Ruan Yunting's cooking skills were good, so he laughed immediately, "Alright, then I'll thank you first."

"Wherever it is, I should be the one thanking you."

Xu Chengfeng's guest house does not have a small kitchen, so Ruan Yunting simply invited Xu Chengfeng to Jingsi Garden. First, Jingsi Garden has its own kitchen, which is convenient for cooking. Second, going to the back kitchen will attract criticism, so it is better for them It is better to enjoy delicious food behind closed doors.

Ruan Yunting and Xu Chengfeng talked and laughed and returned to Jingsi Garden, and ordered Chanjuan to serve Xu Chengfeng with tea, while Hongdou and Zhao Linmu's family helped in the kitchen.

Ruan Yunting put on her apron and was busy with the work at hand.She hasn't had much chance to cook recently, and she is a little worried that the dishes she cooks are not good, so she cooks them very carefully.

Hongdou followed at the side, looked at Ruan Yunting for a long time, and then said: "Girl, just now Funing who is beside Mr. Dai came."

"Huh? What is he here for?" Ruan Yunting stirred the eggs with bamboo chopsticks and asked without raising her head.

"The maidservant just went outside and met Funing in front of the gate of the mansion. Funing was ordered by Lord Dai to take a look at the girl's situation. Their wife went back to the mansion and lost her temper with Lord Dai. The tired servants also suffered, Xiao Dai was worried that the ancestor would punish you, so he specially asked Funing to see how you are doing."

Ruan Yunting's movements slowed down. Mrs. Dai looked gentle and dignified, and she was very kind to her, but he would never forget that at Han Su's Concubine Selection Banquet, he used to fight for Dai Xuefei's position as the Crown Princess , The mother who spoke coldly to her.No matter how gentle a mother is, she can stand up and be a shrew for her children.

What's more, Mrs. Dai came here in high spirits, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see. This was not a question of taking gifts for nothing, but a question of decency.

If the accident hadn't happened yesterday, she would definitely be able to return home on time, even if it was late, it would not be too late.

In this matter, Xu Ningxia couldn't be blamed for talking too much, although she did add fuel to the flames by adding fuel to the flames.But she was indeed unlucky and made her elders unhappy.

"Hey..." Ruan Yunting sighed unconsciously.

Looking at Ruan Yunting's back, Hong Dou felt distressed, and the smile on her face showed a little joy.

Invite Xu Chengfeng to have dinner, and it's already Youshi.Ruan Yunting thought for a long time, and ordered Hongdou to open the cabinet, and found a light purple brocade cape embroidered by herself.The snow-white rabbit fur on the neckline of the cloak and the shoulders, the brilliant purple looks clean and holy.

From her observation, Mrs. Dai should prefer purple.The materials and jewelry she gave her yesterday were very precious, and if she wanted to return the gift, she would not be able to afford it, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was just the granddaughter of the Xu family after all, and the money she used was the monthly allowance. If she suddenly brought out something good, everyone would have to investigate how she got her money. It would be better to use her own needlework to be more sincere and less troublesome.

Ruan Yunting left behind Chanjuan and Zhao Linmu's housekeeper, and left Xu's mansion with only Hongdou.The two shared a carriage, Ruan Yunting slightly closed her eyes, still thinking about what happened in the alley yesterday.

The first thing she doubted and could prove was Niushan.Later, she had to send someone to Sanli Village near Ping'an Temple in the eastern suburbs to see if there was Niu Shan.If so, it means that those three people may have been following them at the moment, or they may have found them in that alley by coincidence. After all, it was not Niu Shan and their traditions that lured them there.

Having made up her mind, Ruan Yunting felt a little lighter, and opened her eyes, only to see Hongdou looking sideways out of the window, with a pink blush on her face and a shy smile.

"red beans?"

Hongdou suddenly came back to her senses, "Girl?"

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, it's nothing." Hongdou lowered her head, straightened her expression, returned to her usual appearance, and changed the subject: "Young lady, you must be patient when you arrive at Dai's house. No matter what Mrs. Dai said, don't go there. Take it to heart. After the new year, you have passed the wedding ceremony, and you will marry Mrs. Dai. From now on, you will spend more than half of your life with your mother-in-law, so don't offend her before you get married."

Ruan Yunting smiled when she heard the words, knowing that Hongdou was doing it for her own good, she nodded and said, "I know."

Hongdou bowed her head and said, "This servant has overstepped the rules, this servant is just worried about the girl."

"You don't need to explain, I know." Ruan Yunting took Hongdou's hand and patted it, and the master and servant looked at each other and smiled.

Not long after, the two arrived at Dai's house.The Dai family occupies a large area, but there are not many servants in the mansion.Hearing that it was Ruan Yunting who came to visit, the concierge led them directly to the front hall.Ruan Yunting sat down to drink tea, and Hongdou stood beside Ruan Yunting.

"Miss Ruan, you can wait later, the young master is discussing matters with the master in the study, the villain will report it right now."

"It's your job."

The servants retreated, Ruan Yunting put down the teacup and sat quietly waiting, not long after, she saw Funing's eccentric little monkey running over quickly, entered the room and first saluted: "Little man, please greet the girl." gone."

"No." Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "Where's your master?"

"The little man heard the news that the girl is coming, so he rushed here first, and the master may be here soon." Funing stepped forward to take the Yuguotianqing teapot from the little girl's hand, and refilled Ruan Yunting's tea.

Ruan Yunting took it with a smile, remembering what Hongdou said, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, what happened yesterday made it difficult for you, the master was scolded, let alone you? Madam didn't make things difficult for you anymore, did she? After all, Funing is a person close to Dai Ming. If Mrs. Dai is reluctant to punish her son, her followers will suffer accordingly.

Funing was taken aback when he heard the words, "Punishment? How could it be?" Smiling and bowing slightly, he said: "You have seen our wife and girl, she is the most gentle person like water, how can she embarrass us, let alone scold others gone."

After Ruan Yunting heard this, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she looked back at Hongdou inquiringly.Seeing Hongdou's pretty face turned red and her eyes dodging, she understood it in her heart.

Very well, the people around her finally learned how to turn their elbows outward.

"red beans."

"The servant is here." Hongdou came to Ruan Yunting.

Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "Go back to the mansion first. You are no longer needed here."

"girl!"

"Go back. I don't want to say anything unnecessary." Ruan Yunting lowered her eyes, very distressed.Hongdou is kind to her and she knows that she is loyal to her, but as soon as Deming appears, Hongdou's position will be shaken. It is so easy for her to have caring people around her, why did she become like this.
