married daughter

Chapter 287 Chapter 325~326 "Barbie" Appears

Seeing that Ruan Yunting was sitting in the carriage, Lu Guogong's expression of astonishment flashed away, followed by a cold snort of disgust, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Miss Ruan!" To vent his anger, he threw open the curtains.The gorgeous dark blue satin embroidered floral curtains let out a "hoo" and were blown up by the cold wind.

Ruan Yunting, a high-ranking minister of the court and an old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, would actually show his likes and dislikes towards others in front of outsiders. Ruan Yunting was surprised, but also deeply realized how much Lu Guogong hated her .

However, this is not the time to analyze these things, Ruan Yunting also put down the curtain of the car, and said to Zhao Linmu's family who was driving the car: "Sister-in-law Zhao, hurry up and go to the gazebo first."

Zhao Linmu's family obeyed, raised his whip and lashed hard at the brown buttocks of the driving shaft. With a long hiss, the horse flew with four hooves, and soon overtook the carriage of Duke Lu's mansion, and came to the gazebo first.

Ruan Yunting helped Zhao Linmu's family get out of the carriage, and walked quickly towards the gazebo as soon as her feet took up the ground.The carriage bumped violently on the road, and the long hair on her head, which had long been unable to be fixed, loosened as she walked. She didn't mind it, and strode up the steps.

"Hongdou, you are really here." When she came to Hongdou, Ruan Yunting was panting tiredly, but she breathed a sigh of relief, so that she arrived, so that she and Hongdou had a good understanding and did not misjudge the other party's thoughts.

Hongdou looked at Ruan Yunting who was running away in astonishment, and was speechless for a while: "Girl..."

how could be?Shouldn't the girl hate her and dislike her?As a useless abandoned son who betrayed her master, if she can really get rid of Lu Guogong and help her clear the obstacles, wouldn't that be something the girl should be happy about?Hongdou couldn't bear Hu Lie's obviously relieved expression when Ruan Yunting climbed the steps and saw her just now.She never imagined that Ruan Yunting would care about her life...

Zhao Linmu's family and Chanjuan tied up their horses, and they are also here at this moment.

"Hongdou, what are you doing here? Look at how anxious you are making the girl." Chanjuan took Hongdou's hand and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was not injured, she recalled the anxious look of the girl on the carriage with teary eyes just now, and said to her He hated again, shook off her hand, snorted and turned his eyes away.

"I..." Hongdou hesitated to speak in frustration, and didn't know how to refute herself, because she was indeed wrong and could not be refuted. .

Zhao Linmu's family pinched the tender flesh on the inside of her arm and twisted it, cursing in a low voice: "You damn girl, do you want to kill yourself! You have done something shameful, and you dare to get angry with the girl? You Wait! I'll turn around and tell your parents to see if they skinned you alive, so you don't need to seek death yourself!"

"Little aunt, I know I was wrong." Hongdou Ren Zhao Linmu's family pinched her, tears also fell.

Whether Chanjuan and Zhao Linmu's family reprimanded or beat Hongdou, it was because they cared about him. Ruan Yunting could understand it and sighed in her heart. Fortunately, she caught up.The one to face is Lu Guogong.

"Now is not the time to talk." Ruan Yunting looked around the gazebo, looked up at the new moon rising in the darkening night, thought for a while, and said, "Can we bring refreshments in the car?"

He Chanjuan from Zhao Linmu's family was stunned: "Go back to the girl, I just came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring it with me."

"Then bring the cotton pad here, I want to watch the moon."

Chanjuan and Zhao Linmu's family looked at each other, it's cold, enjoying the moon in the suburbs with the wind blowing?While hesitating, Lu Guogong's team behind him had already approached, and the dog-legged servant graciously helped the Duke get off the car.

Chanjuan hurried to the carriage to fetch the cushions.

Ruan Yunting looked up at the bright moon in the sky with her hands behind her back, pretending to be contemplative, but she was actually listening attentively to the movement behind her.

Hongdou and Zhao Linmu's family stood beside her on the left and right, with their backs facing the steps of the gazebo, but their hearts were already in their throats, especially Hongdou, with cold sweat on his forehead, and his hands hidden in his sleeves. He gripped the dagger tightly.

Lu Guogong stopped halfway up the steps, squinting at Ruan Yunting's back.

"Miss Ruan, it's so late, what are you doing in the suburbs?"

Ruan Yunting took a deep breath to build up her mind, and turned around slowly, pretending to be surprised: "Master Guo?" Then she saluted and said, "I thought Mr. Guo left in such a hurry because he had something to do."

When Lu Guogong saw her face, he secretly scolded Hu Meizi in his heart, and said coldly: "You haven't answered the old man's question yet!"

"Question?" He tilted his head and blinked innocently, and suddenly drew a long voice: "Oh! What did the Duke ask me to do? It's so late, what are you here for?"

Her non-answer and rhetorical question made Lu Guogong almost grit his teeth in anger. Ruan Yunting smiled as usual, not at all angry after being betrayed by her personal maid, but at night, she happened to rush to this gazebo.

Did she find out about Hongdou's betrayal?Lu Guogong was completely confused.

When the situation is unknown, the best thing is to keep quiet.Lu Guogong raised his eyebrows with a smile that was not a smile: "The old man is here to enjoy the moon."

"Oh? Grandpa Guo really has a good temper, but what a coincidence, I also came to admire the moon." Ruan Yunting smiled and looked back at the bright moon in the sky. When she turned her face back, there was a more touching look on her face With a look of regret: "Since the Duke wants to enjoy the moon in the gazebo, how dare the little girl disturb you, so I will leave first."

Leading the servants to salute together, Ruan Yunting exited the gazebo.Go to the carriage.After Hongdou, Chanjuan and Zhao Linmu's family, their steps were a little eager and stiff.

Lu Guogong looked at the backs of the four masters and servants, squinting his eyes all the time.Ruan Yunting really confuses him. Did she find out that Hongdou sent him a message to inform him?But what is certain is that she must have suspected Hongdou.It seems that if you want to know Ruan Yunting's weakness from Hongdou's mouth, you need to observe again.He is not in a hurry. The most profound thing he has learned in the court for so many years is patience. When he cannot win with one blow, it is best to stay dormant rationally. Let's take a walk out of the house today. At least, Ruan Yunting wants to The red bean thing has been tossing for a while.

To defeat an opponent, it is not necessary to shout and kill, torturing her heart is the first choice.Think about it.Lu Guogong's Yin Chece expression turned into a contented expression, and he really stood up and admired the moon with his hands behind his back.

The group of four returned to Jingsi Garden, Zhao Linmu's family was going to prepare dinner, Ruan Yunting waved her hand, and sat on the armchair tiredly, "Don't bother, let the little girl go to the back kitchen to bring the food box back, Eat whatever you have. Red beans, come here."

Hongdou bowed her head, stepped forward timidly, raised her skirt and knelt down, tears were already streaming down before she opened her mouth.

Ruan Yunting looked at the girl kneeling in front of her with complicated hearts. If she was in modern times, she would only be a junior high school student or a minor at this age. Even if she killed someone, she would be punished lightly.What's more, Hongdou is not a heinous crime, and what she did is also justifiable.It's nothing more than jealousy at work when the heart of spring is sprouting.

It's just that she didn't care about the consequences and wanted to assassinate Lu Guogong out of self-control. Did she really think that it didn't matter if she lost her life! ?
"Take out what's in your sleeve."

sleeve?Chanjuan from Zhao Linmu's family moved her eyes to Hongdou's arms.

Hong Dou hesitated, took out the dagger hidden in the left sleeve pocket, and put it on the ground.

As soon as she saw the shiny little dagger, Ruan Yunting's anger rose again.

"What can such a small knife do in the hands of a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken? Let alone kill Lu Guogong, just say that there are countless guards around Lu Guogong. Did you get close to him? You overestimate yourself ability!"

"Girl, I know I'm wrong." Hongdou pressed her forehead to the ground, tears welling up like springs.

Seeing him like this, Ruan Yunting was angry and distressed, and her eyes were a little hot.

"Hongdou, close the door, we are a family." He looked up at Zhao Linmu's family and Chanjuan: "Except for Brother Lan in the house, I am afraid that you are the only ones who really care about me. I will surrender my wealth and life." Here you are, I will not hide anything from you. Before Hongdou sacrificed her life to save me, I have always remembered it in my heart. I remember everything you have done to me. Even the matter of Guiyun Pavilion that I have been hiding from my ancestors, I I also confess to you. But Hongdou, you really shouldn't be like this. Although I understand your feelings for Mr. Dai, there are some things that you will regret after doing it."

"Girl... I know I'm wrong. I already know I'm wrong." Hong Dou broke down in tears and said with a choked voice, "Your servant shouldn't be jealous of the girl, and you shouldn't tell Mr. Xiaodai about your son. In fact, I told Mr. Dai that day. After this incident, he didn't remember the kindness of the servant, but instead warned the servant to be loyal to the girl. From then on, the servant felt resentful and felt that you didn't know how to cherish. Yesterday you were not in the mansion, and Mrs. Dai rushed This time, the feeling of resentment is getting deeper... This servant is wrong. You have always been so kind to this servant, I shouldn't be like this, in fact, if I go to assassinate Lu Guogong today, I just want to die..."

As Hongdou spoke, her forehead was pressed to the ground, and she was crying heartbroken, as if she wanted to shed all the pain and grievances with tears.

Ruan Yunting can also understand her feelings. She likes Dai Ming, but their identities are very different, so she pins her hope on the marriage.Deming likes her, but she has no love for him.Of course Hongdou will be jealous and feel that she doesn't know how to cherish.In fact, what Hongdou said today should mean something good. She wanted to scare her and let her cherish the marriage of Dai's family from now on. If the lie is not exposed, she just went to Dai's house today.But she knew the truth.

With a long sigh, Ruan Yunting got up and supported the red beans with both hands, handed her the handkerchief and said, "Wipe your tears, don't cry. I don't blame you."

"girl?"

"Just pretend that this incident never happened, and we will still be a family in the future." After learning that Hongdou could sacrifice her life for her, Ruan Yunting could no longer care about what she had done.She didn't hurt her.

Ruan Yunting's forgiveness made Hongdou feel ashamed, and knelt down again, sobbing and crying, like a lost child.Zhao Linmu's family wiped away their tears, saluted solemnly, and said: "Thank you for your generosity, my wife. From now on, our mother and I will be loyal to you and have no second thoughts."

Hongdou also kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Miss, Hongdou will never betray you again."

Ruan Yunting nodded, sat down and said, "This is not an example, not all mistakes are worthy of forgiveness." Jianshui looked at Hongdou with big eyes: "Next time, I won't forgive you lightly."

"Yes, the slaves don't dare anymore."

"Okay, let's all get up. Go and see dinner. I'm tired after a long day."

"Yes."

"By the way, Hongdou, Lu Guogong will contact you again and ask you what happened after you returned home. How would you answer?"

Hong Dou was taken aback by the question, she caused trouble herself, and now she doesn't know how to deal with the aftermath.Duke Lu's position is high and powerful, how can she, a little girl, be able to play tricks on her.She doesn't want to beg for death now.

Seeing her expression, Ruan Yunting knew that Hongdou hadn't thought of a way out, and sighed: "You are so lucky to stay in the Jingsi Garden for the past few days, so don't go out easily, if you are really caught by Lu Guogong, you just say you listened to me Order, deliberately playing with him."

"Girl, won't he be more cruel to you then?"

Ruan Yunting smiled wryly and said: "He wished for me to die early in the morning, and he added one more thing, and the only thing I can do is die. If you are afraid of anything, just do as I say."

After dinner, Ruan Yunting fell into a deep sleep.Woke up early the next morning, and wrote a confidential letter to Chanjuan before going to school, asking her to find a way to send it to Guiyun Pavilion to shopkeeper Tao during the day.

The boy named Niu Shan who robbed his jade pendant the day before yesterday, Ruan Yunting was still a little skeptical and couldn't figure out if he and the man in black were accomplices, so she sent shopkeeper Tao to investigate at the address Niu Shan left behind.

The academy is still discussing land matters today, and the students are probably not very interested. The few people represented by Lu Qian rarely even talk today. Ruan Yunting is used to seeing them talk freely, and now Seeing their silence confirmed the attitude of the families of these students after their arrest towards the land reform.

Deming and his son are also excitedly preparing to do a big job. Under such a big environment, I am afraid that there will be many difficulties.

When it was time to finish school, Ruan Yunting didn't go down the mountain directly, but said goodbye to Han Chuyun and went to Zhuju first.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Ruan Yunting smelled alcohol.

"Brother Xiao?"

Almost as soon as the words were finished, the cotton curtain of the main room was lifted, and Xiao Beishu leaned out wearing a light gray fur collared cloak. Seeing that it was Ruan Yunting, he smiled: "I guessed you would come, why not?" I don’t know when it was, it seems that you really couldn’t help mourning, and you came here after just saying a few words.”

Ruan Yunting looked at his face and saw that he was full of energy, which was completely different from the pale face when his arms were dislocated and endured the pain that day.The eyes under the thick eyebrows seem to be flickering.

"Your shoulder doesn't hurt anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. I hired a bone-beating master, and I just rubbed Wanyaojiu. But you, I heard that you were sick, so you didn't come to school yesterday. I was also bedridden yesterday, and I only found out the news today."

"I'm fine, it's just that the wind blows and I have a headache, so I didn't come if I wanted to play tricks."

"It really looks like something you would do." Xiao Beishu looked at her teasingly.

Ruan Yunting smiled, "Are you going to go out dressed like this? If you want to go out, I won't stay any longer. Let's talk another day." As long as he is in good health, she still has to go to Guiyun Pavilion to ask The results of Tao shopkeeper's investigation.

Xiao Beishu went out of the room, went to Ruan Yunting, and said, "I was fully dressed early in the morning and I was waiting for you. Come on, follow me to a place." As he spoke, he strode forward, regardless of Ruan Yunting's consent. or not.

"Where are you going? I can't go home too late."

"I'll let you go back soon." Xiao Beishu turned his head and said seriously: "I want to take you to meet a very important person, follow me."

"Who are you seeing?"

"You'll know when you come with me." Xiao Beishu looked at Ruan Yunting seriously.

Ruan Yunting was silent for a while, fearing that if Xiao Beishu really wanted to introduce someone important to her, she couldn't refuse, so she went down the mountain with him, and ordered the woman who followed the car to go back to the house to report the letter, leaving only Drive with handlebars.

Xiao Beishu rode a tall maroon horse, and the gray cloak on his body made him look a little pale.

On the way, Ruan Yunting often raised the curtains to look out, chatting with Xiao Beishu occasionally.

"I think we are going east, are we going to the Peace Temple?"

"No, but it's not far away. Don't guess, you'll know when you get there."

It was rare for Ruan Yunting to see Xiao Beishu playing tricks, and now he made up his mind not to tell her, and it was useless for her to ask, she shrugged and drew the curtains, and stopped looking at the scenery outside the window.

After another incense stick of time passed, Xiao Beishu outside ordered the carriage to stop.

The handlebars moved the red-painted pedals to Ruan Yunting's feet. Ruan Yunting got out of the carriage and was slightly surprised to see the scene in front of her.

This is the church where Joshua and Jager are located.The church has not been built yet, but there is already a general framework.

"Why did you bring me here?" Ruan Yunting was even more puzzled.

Xiao Beishu smiled mysteriously and said, "Come with me."

Ruan Yunting followed behind Xiao Beishu, bypassed the buildings outside the church, and went straight to the temporary church where Ruan Yunting visited last time.The closer she got there, Ruan Yunting already guessed in her heart who the important person Xiao Beishu asked her to meet was.

Could it be that Jun Lanzhou contacted Xiao Beishu?

On the mountain the day before yesterday, she saw that Xiao Beishu didn't know the news about Jun Lanzhou in the church, and she was afraid that Jun Lanzhou deliberately didn't tell Xiao Beishu, so she didn't say much.Wouldn't it be embarrassing if Xiao Beishu knew Jun Lanzhou was in the church and brought her here today?
Ruan Yunting frowned slightly, and the moon-white satin-faced cloak unfolded an elegant arc behind her as she walked, and the moon-white winter uniforms of the academy could be seen while walking.

As soon as Xiao Beishu turned his head, he saw this scene, and his heart seemed to be lightly brushed by a feather, but he didn't look at it, but restrained his emotions, and turned around again.

After arriving in the courtyard, Xiao Beishu walked to the wing on the right, knocked on the door lightly, "The person I want to see lives here."

Ruan Yun provided that it was almost certain that Xiao Beishu brought her to see Jun Lanzhou.Rubbing his forehead lightly with his plain hand, he hoped that he wouldn't be in trouble in front of Xiao Beishu, otherwise he might think too much.Xiao Beishu had saved her life twice, and she didn't know everything about Jun Lanzhou, which was reasonable, but Xiao Beishu was really fussy, and she was wrong.

With a "creak", the lattice door was pulled open, and sure enough, Jun Lanzhou, who was wearing a black priest's costume and was as white as jade, appeared in front of him. On his stunning face, a darkened scar on the left cheek destroyed the overall beauty. .

"Lan Zhou?" Ruan Yun pretended to be surprised helplessly, there was no way, since he had started to hide something from Xiao Beishu, he couldn't let him see it now, he had to start well and finish well.

Seeing the surprised expression on Ruan Yunting's delicate face, Jun Lanzhou even wanted to believe that she didn't know he was here, but a few days ago he had sent a letter to Xiao Beishu, telling him that he was here, Who is Ruan Yunting acting for?
After thinking about it, Ruan Yunting is not talkative, maybe she didn't tell Xiao Beishu.Although Xiao Beishu's temperament is free and easy, but he also has a suspicious side. Maybe Xiao Beishu didn't tell the truth to Ruan Yunting and deliberately tested her.Obviously, Ruan Yunting has withstood the test, because she is already asking:

"Why are you here?"

Jun Lanzhou really didn't want to laugh, at least don't make her unhappy, but seeing that her singing and writing performance was so realistic, she really couldn't help laughing.

Jun Lanzhou burst out laughing, Xiao Beishu was tense at first, but now he couldn't hold back anymore, he laughed and said, "Ting'er, you are really..."

"Haha!!" Jun Lanzhou also laughed.

Ruan Yunting looked at the two people who were smiling inexplicably, and vaguely felt that there was something she had missed.

"Stop laughing."

——The two laughed more happily when they saw her seriously stop them from laughing.

"Stop laughing, if you are laughing, don't expect me to pay attention to you in the future!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Jun Lanzhou said: "It's nothing, I also want to thank you for your respect and protection of my integrity, but I have already sent a letter to Brother Bei, telling him that I am here gone."

When Ruan Yunting heard this, she laughed angrily, raised her skirt and kicked Xiao Beishu's calf: "Asshole! Is it fun to tease me?! Why are you still lying to me when you know it?"

When she was angry, Xia Fei's cheeks and nimble eyes seemed to reflect the luster of the sun, crystal clear.Xiao Beishu just felt itchy and unbearable, and couldn't help teasing him: "You were the one who hid it from me first."

"Do I dare to tell the truth about that situation? Lan Zhou was left behind by resisting the decree. If it is spread, it will be a serious crime of beheading. Of course, if one less person knows about this kind of thing, it will be less dangerous. I know that's all. Are you still going to drag you into the water?"

Seeing that he was really angry, Xiao Beishu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, girl, please calm down, Xiaosheng is being polite."

The atmosphere in the room is really cheerful, and Xiao Beishu's hippie smiling face is also making her angry. Now she is standing with Xiao Beishu and Jun Lanzhou. After going through so many crises, she almost died after a narrow escape. , the three of them can still talk, laugh and play together, what else is more important than this?
As soon as Ruan Yunting relaxed, a smile appeared on her face—as if the clouds and mists had been lifted and the sun was shining on the earth, it was a warm smile.

Xiao Beishu and Jun Lanzhou didn't speak for a while, and Ruan Yunting didn't think it was wrong.Just at this moment, a delicate female voice came from outside:

"Brother Lan Zhou!"

As soon as the voice fell, Ruan Yunting saw a water-pink figure flying into the room like a butterfly, a "Barbie doll" with brown hair, blue eyes, high nose and deep eyes, grabbed Jun Lanzhou's arm, acting like a baby Said in fluent Chinese: "Brother Lanzhou, who are they?"
