married daughter

Chapter 288 Chapter 327~328
The girl was half a head taller than Ruan Yunting and about the same age as her. Her long brown hair was slightly curly and tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, looking playful and agile.She has a fat face and a round figure. Her facial features are not beautiful, and you can even see a little freckles around the bridge of her nose. However, her green eyes are crystal clear like glass beads. Her innocent expression makes people think that she has come from a foreign land. The carefree elf is obviously about the same age as Ruan Yunting, but Ruan Yunting just thinks that she is still a child, and even feels that she has seen a real-life Barbie doll.
But what is even more surprising is that Jun Lanzhou didn't escape when the girl held her arm intimately!

He looked down at her dotingly, and stroked her head, as if pampering some cute furry animals, with smiles in his eyes.

Xiao Beishu and Ruan Yunting were very surprised. When would Jun Lanzhou allow a woman to get so close to him?In the past, many famous women admired his appearance and talent, even Ruan Yunting once did, and he was not moved.Up to now, he has been so gentle to a woman of a foreign race, although it seems that his pampering is more like loving a child.

Ruan Yunting frowned, for some reason, the good mood just now disappeared without a trace.

"Brother Lanzhou, are they new believers?" The girl's official words were very standard.

Jun Lanzhou smiled, pointed at Xiao Beishu and said, "Let me introduce you, this is your Uncle Xiao." Then she smiled and looked at Ruan Yunting: "This fairy-like sister is your sister Ruan. Brother Bei , Tinger, she is Angela."

"Ah? I'm going to be her uncle when I'm old!" Xiao Beishu wailed exaggeratedly, looked at Jun Lanzhou teasingly, and nudged him with his elbow.

Angela's gaze shifted from Xiao Beishu to Ruan Yunting, guard and hostility flashed in her eyes, but immediately, she smiled and called a flower, jumped up to Ruan Yunting and hugged her.

"Sister Ruan, nice to meet you."

"Hello." Ruan Yunting smiled lightly and hugged her back politely.

Seeing this, Jun Lanzhou also came to Ruan Yunting, "I haven't seen you for a few days, we should say hello." He opened his arms to hug Ruan Yunting.

Ruan Yunting quickly took a step back and pushed him away, her face was hot and she said angrily, "Don't mess around."

A blush appeared on her white jade-like cheeks, and her small face, which seemed angry or angry, was pretty and soft, with agility in her elegance and elegance.Jun Lanzhou suffocated, and stood beside her with a gentle smile.

Angela pursed her lips, hugged Jun Lanzhou's arm again, raised her head and smiled at him coquettishly, then looked innocently at Ruan Yunting: "My name is Angela, I'm from the country of Dayi, and I'm brother Lanzhou Oh unmarried wife!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Jun Lanzhou poked her forehead.

Angela stuck out her tongue playfully, still leaning on his shoulder.

Xiao Beishu swallowed his surprise back into his stomach, and asked gently as if coaxing a child: "Why did you say that?" There was no way, he would unconsciously use this tone when facing an innocent little girl.

Angela raised her chest and said proudly: "Because brother Lanzhou is the first person to treat Angela so well, Angela must be his wife!"

Jun Lanzhou shook his head helplessly, "Angela, don't talk nonsense, you are still young, do you know what a wife is?"

"A wife is someone who will be with you for a lifetime. I want to stay by your side and be with you for the rest of my life."

"Angela!" Jun Lanzhou scolded lightly, her expression becoming more and more helpless, and she turned to Ruan Yunting and Xiao Beishu, "She's still young. She's talking nonsense."

Xiao Beishu also agrees with this sentence, how can a big girl confess to a man like this, it is not a child's heart, not only shaking her head with a smile

Angela raised her eyebrows, her smile was innocent, but her eyes were fixed on Ruan Yunting's pretty face,

As women, Ruan Yunting didn't understand Angela's little thoughts.She possessively declared her thoughts on Jun Lanzhou?She was obviously testing her.With Jun Lanzhou's gentleness towards her, most of the girls who like Jun Lanzhou will retreat in the face of difficulties.

Ruan Yunting glanced at Jun Lanzhou lightly, feeling even more panicked.She didn't understand why she had such emotions, and it was because she didn't understand that she was even more irritable.But the more irritable she was, the more cheerful Ruan Yunting was, her smile was so warm that it could melt the ice and snow of the whole winter.

Seeing her so charming appearance, Angela bit her lower lip and asked with a smile:
"Sister Ruan, are you in your twenties?"
"If you think I'm that old, you might as well call me Auntie."

"Aren't you that old? Hey, you Liang people, girls don't look like girls, and they dress so old-fashioned." Angela pouted and snorted, looking extremely cute.

Jun Lanzhou felt that Angela's words were too much, Ruan Yunting was clearly a stunning girl, why did she become a woman in her twenties?Just about to reprimand with a straight face, Joshua and Jager entered the door successively with smiles.

Angela once again flew to the two of them like a happy little butterfly, pointed at Ruan Yunting, and said in English innocently: "Who is that old woman? Why does Brother Lanzhou seem to care about her so much?"

Embarrassment immediately appeared on the faces of Joshua and Jager.

Ruan Yunting held her breath in her chest, smiled like a docile cat, and replied in fluent English: "I have learned Miss Angela's homework. Have we ever met? I have hurt Miss Angela before." family? If you can’t tell the reason, it’s hard for me to agree with your inexplicable hostility.”

Angela's expression was wonderful as if she had swallowed a fly alive, she pointed at Ruan Yunting's trembling fingers, and asked in English in disbelief: "How can you speak Dayi dialect?!"

"I'm sorry to scare you." Ruan Yunting still replied in English: "I will, of course I learned it, just like you know the language of Liang Guo. Angela, I don't think I'm ugly, oh, maybe You don't think so."

Ruan Yunting's tone was always the same, and her smile was always elegant. Xiao Beishu and Jun Lanzhou, who couldn't understand what they were talking about, were completely confused.

Jun Lanzhou asked: "What are you talking about?"

Ruan Yunting narrowed her eyes with a smile, and teased him in a brisk tone: "I'm congratulating you and Angela. You finally found your fiancée."

"What are you talking about?" Jun Lanzhou blushed anxiously, and the scar on his left cheek looked a bit hideous: "I just said that those were all nonsense words of children."

"Okay, okay, what are you in a hurry for?" Ruan Yunting smiled and looked at Angela, not talking.

Joshua looked at Ruan Yunting clearly, stepped forward to change the subject, and said in English: "Beautiful lady, please forgive that child for her recklessness, she is not a wicked person."

Ruan Yunting nodded with a smile, and replied in Mandarin: "Yes, I don't mind. How is your practice with the sheet music sent by someone last time?"

Joshua also said gratefully in inaccurate Mandarin: "Thank you so much, the score is indescribably exquisite, it made Jager and I excited for several days, we are planning to transcribe it and send it back to Dayi Her Majesty the Queen."

"Then please don't reveal my identity, just say that you got it by chance, I don't want to cause trouble." Ruan Yunting said sincerely.

Joshua and Jager looked at each other regretfully, "Well, we respect your decision."

After seeing Jun Lanzhou, she was first played by Xiao Beishu, and then provoked by the Barbie doll who appeared inexplicably. Ruan Yunting's good mood was almost exhausted. She forced herself not to show any heterosexuality, and said briskly: : "It's getting late, and going back late will cause the ancestors to worry, I have to go."

"Aren't you going to stay a little longer? I've already prepared dinner." Jun Lanzhou frowned, feeling inexplicably irritated.

"No, let's eat together. Brother Xiao will stay for a while. It's rare for you brothers to meet each other. I'd better go back first. Lan Zhou, I'll contact you at another day and leave." Ruan Yunting bowed slightly, and spoke politely to the two priests Saying goodbye, and then walked out of the courtyard lightly.

Angela held Jun Lanzhou's arm, fortunately he couldn't understand what they said.

The irritability in Jun Lanzhou's heart, like a drop of ink stolen from a tourmaline, slowly spread.She wasn't jealous at all because of Angela's appearance, she even smiled as usual, and came to congratulate him?

As soon as he thought this way, Jun Lanzhou was taken aback by his own thoughts, and quickly pulled Xiao Beishu aside to talk, trying to forget this feeling.

When Ruan Yunting returned to the mansion, Zhao Linmu's family specially prepared round-grained rice and four dishes of delicate side dishes for dinner. Three vegetarian dishes and one meat dish were Ruan Yunting's favorites on weekdays.But Ruan Yunting's appetite was poor, and she ordered to take it out after only a few mouthfuls, and the food in her stomach seemed to be completely undigested, she kept belching, her chest seemed to be stuffy, and she couldn't get up or down , It's uncomfortable to be blocked.

Lying on Concubine Xiang's couch with loose long hair and pajamas, Ruan Yunting stared at the soft candlelight of the silk lamp in a daze.What's wrong with her, why is she so irritable!Isn't it just a little girl who provoked her a few words?I have heard all the harsh things before, and seen all the ruthless things before, what else can she not bear?But why couldn't she bear it anymore today, and even pinched that girl face to face in English?
In such things as quarreling, whether you gain the upper hand or not, you lose, because the quarrel itself has already lowered your status as low as your opponent.

"Girl, are you feeling unwell?" Hongdou put down her needlework, and covered Ruan Yunting with a thin quilt worriedly, "The dinner was not delicious, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Or have you got a fever again?" He stretched out his hand as he spoke He touched Ruan Yunting's forehead.

"I'm fine, go to bed early today, I'm tired."

"The quilt has been spread and it's warm. The servant will help you to go there."

With the arrival of early spring, the ice and snow melted, and the sunny days continued for several days. The red maple mountain where the academy is located was white, and the branches were playfully dotted with tender green shoots. The students also changed into spring clothes. It's not so dark anymore.

Ruan Yunting left the academy, but did not return directly to the residence, but ordered the driver to go to Guiyun Pavilion.

She ordered shopkeeper Tao to investigate Niushan, and found that Niushan really did not lie. There is a bedridden mother at home. Although he has only one son, he has no land and no source of income. He can only rely on Niushan to do odd jobs to earn a few Copper coins make a living.After Ruan Yunting learned of this, she no longer suspected that he was an accomplice of the man in black.After discussing with shopkeeper Tao, Niu Shan was asked to work as a long-term worker in the back kitchen of Guiyun Pavilion. The broken house with air leaks everywhere was locked, and Niushan's mother, Mrs. Sun, was asked to live in the backyard of Guiyun Pavilion. Fang looked at his mother, so he didn't need to set up a new stove to eat, anyway, Guiyun Pavilion didn't miss the food for the two of them.

Shopkeeper Tao agrees with Ruan Yunting's move, and even many waiters in Guiyun Pavilion secretly praise the owner who has never met before for being a bodhisattva and taking good care of Niu Shan.

"Girl, Guiyun Pavilion is here." The woman who was following the car set up the pedals for Ruan Yunting and helped her get out of the car.

"You guys wait outside for a while, I'll be here soon."

"Miss, you're welcome, the servants are here to wait."

Ruan Yunting nodded, and stepped up the steps of Guiyun Pavilion. As soon as she entered the door, Xiaoer greeted her, "Miss, who are you?"

"Is shopkeeper Tao here?"

"Treasurer Tao is meeting guests, what do you want?"

"I want a private room, and a pot of good tea, and then I will tell you shopkeeper Tao, and I will tell Miss Ruan to look for it."

"Okay, there is one in the private room upstairs, please come upstairs!"

Ruan Yunting followed the waiter to the private room, and got used to refreshments after a while.Lunch was already eaten, and it was approaching dinner time. Ruan Yunting was already hungry, so she took a sip of tea and snacks bluntly.

"Miss Ruan?"

"Treasurer Tao? Please come in."

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and shopkeeper Tao walked in wearing a khaki cross-collar, followed by a man in a light gray gown and a black gauze hat.

After closing the door, Shopkeeper Tao saluted and said, "Miss."

Ruan Yunting hurriedly returned the gift: "The shopkeeper is still so polite, please sit down."

"Please."

The two sat opposite each other, Ruan Yunting poured a cup of tea for Tao shopkeeper with a pot, poured another cup from a celadon teacup, and squinted at the masked man who had been standing at the door, "If you like to stand and watch us drink tea, Just stand there."

The man was helpless, took off his gauze hat, and said with a wry smile: "My disguise was so unsuccessful? How did you recognize me?"

Ruan Yunting wanted to say that I recognize you even when you turned into ashes, but felt that it was wrong to say so, so she didn't say much, just handed him the teacup.

Jun Lanzhou sat on the right side of Ruan Yunting, took a sip from the teacup.

"Haha!" Shopkeeper Tao laughed loudly: "Just now we told Mr. Jun outside, the girl has sharp eyes, and she must recognize Mr. Jun's figure at once, but Mr. Jun still doesn't believe it. No, it's not what I said gone."

"Yeah, Ting'er has good eyesight." Jun Lanzhou put down her teacup, and after seeing her for a month, she looked much better.

The depression of the last time has already turned into longing with the passage of time. Jun Lanzhou found that he seemed to have some emotions towards her. These emotions may have existed in the past, but they were only aroused by Ruan Yunting's indifference once. .During this time, he missed him very much, even more than when he was traveling with his master.He is a little confused, but more excited and looking forward to it. Since he is concerned about it, let's hang on to it. Anyway, he doesn't want to force her to do something. Maybe she will spurn him after knowing his life experience. If he really develops love Love, being spurned by her, wouldn't he feel sad?
When Ruan Yunting and shopkeeper Tao were discussing the management of Guiyun Pavilion, Jun Lanzhou had been listening quietly from the sidelines, and just gave some suggestions of her own in a timely manner. Ok?"

Talking about Niu Shan, Shopkeeper Tao smiled all over his face: "Although Niu Shan is not very old, he is very diligent. He works desperately every day, and always asks me when I can see the girl. He wants to thank you personally. By the way, I told Niu Shan not to reveal your identity, and he complied and swore a poisonous oath. Miss, why don't you go and see him?"

Seeing that shopkeeper Tao liked Niushan very much, Ruan Yunting couldn't help being a little curious, nodded and said: "That's good, I'll go back after seeing Niushan."

When going downstairs, Jun Lanzhou asked in a low voice, "Who is Niushan?"

Ruan Yunting raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Are you sure Brother Xiao didn't tell you the truth this time, didn't you guys collude to tease me?"

Jun Lanzhou smiled wryly: "It's the first time I know that you hold grudges so much, and last time we didn't collude..." Jun Lanzhou sighed and didn't continue, because if he continued, he would mention Xiao Beishu's deliberate temptation It's about Ruan Yunting.

Ruan Yunting also understood what he was thinking, so she didn't make things difficult for him, and told the truth about Niu Shan.

"So I left Niu Shan behind, Lan Zhou, what do you think... Lan Zhou?" Ruan Yunting turned around and asked, only to find that Jun Lanzhou had already stopped and frowned in thought.

Ruan Yunting walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"This Niushan, you shouldn't stay." Jun Lanzhou put on the gauze hat and said in a low voice: "Although I don't know the reason, for some reason, I always feel that something is wrong. The safest way is not to stay Niu Shan, you can give him some money. Also, what kind of treasure is that jade pendant, why are there still people robbing it? What is even more puzzling is why those people beat Brother Bei? Don’t they want your jade pendant? "

Ruan Yunting reached into her bosom, took out the bat-patterned jade pendant and handed it to Jun Lanzhou: "Here, this is it. In fact, I can't tell the exact origin. It was Wen Yuan's gift to me at that time. I'm under it." She didn't know the origin of Yupei, and she couldn't believe all the incredible legends, so she didn't tell Jun Lanzhou.

Jun Lanzhou looked over and over again, and exchanged the jade pendant to Ruan Yunting: "Take it yourself, don't throw it away. If there are still people who continue to come to you, you might as well exchange the jade pendant to the son of the world, and the left and right will return to Yunge now." Once you got off the track, several shopkeepers also admitted that you are the boss."

Ruan Yunting nodded, knowing that Jun Lanzhou was doing it for her own good.But the unknown power hidden behind the jade pendant, she was looking forward to and fearing at the same time, it was very complicated, and she couldn't decide for a moment whether to return it to Han Su or not.

After hesitating, the two of them arrived at the backyard. From a distance, they saw a white and burly young man in gray short-brown, waving a hatchet to chop wood.The sun shone on his face, and he could see the crystal beads of sweat on his forehead.A thin woman with a sallow complexion wiped his sweat with her sleeve.

"Shanzi, take a break. Ah."

"Mother, I'm not tired." Niu Shan smiled and said, "Go in and have a rest, I'm really not tired."

"Hey, it's all mother's useless. This disease drags on. If you want to die, if you want to live, it will make you so tired. Mother gave birth to you, so you are not here to suffer."

"As long as my mother is well, I won't cry at all. The boss is very kind to me. He gives us food, gives us shelter, and even invites a doctor to treat you. The most important thing is that the work is not as hard as outside. Not to mention beating and scolding frequently, and there is still two taels of silver every month, such a good boss is obviously helping us, if I work and keep secrets, I am sorry for my conscience."

Sun sighed, but she also agreed with her son's statement, but instead of going back to the house, she helped Niu Shan put firewood on the sidelines, and no matter how much Niu Shan tried to persuade her, she would not stop.

Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou have been standing far away without approaching.

Looking at the mother and child, she suddenly felt very envious.That kind of family affection can only be felt in modern homes.In her previous and present lives, she has experienced her husband's betrayal, her mother's schemes and killings, and her relatives' brother-in-law killing. It is such a bland happiness that she envies.

"It would be great if I could live like this."

"What did you say?"

Ruan Yunting came back to her senses suddenly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Let's go, I should go back home too."

"You don't see Niushan?"

"It's not easy for their mother and child if they are gone. If I go, they will kneel and kowtow again. Isn't this tossing people?"

"Hey, then you are not going to send them away?"

Ruan Yunting looked up at him: "Do you see that they are suspicious?"

"No, I just feel that there is something strange in it."

Ruan Yunting suddenly felt how difficult it is to survive in ancient times, and said irritably: "Why is it so difficult to live, can't the relationship between people be simpler."

Jun Lanzhou slowed down, and said after a while: "Yes, if we can live a little easier, just like them, working from sunrise to sunset, it would be great."

The topic was a bit heavy, and the two of them were silent all the way outside. Seeing that Ruan Yunting was about to get in the car, Jun Lanzhou remembered an important matter.

"By the way, Ting'er stay here."

Ruan Yunting turned around in doubt: "What's the matter?"

"Angela's parents are missionaries. She followed them to Seibu Kingdom since she was a child. At that time, because they were of different races and the sect they preached was not recognized by the royal family of Seibu Kingdom, life was extremely difficult. When she was five years old, her father She died of hunger and cold. Her mother took her until she was 14 years old, and when Joshua found her, her mother had just died."

Jun Lanzhou looked at Ruan Yunting through the black veil blown off by the gauze hat, and said quietly: "Ting'er, I was originally a different kind. People who know my life experience may wish that I died, wish that I would never exist in this world." This kind of person is the same as Angela. With her appearance, how did she struggle to live with her mother from the age of five to 14 in Seibu Barbarian? How much staring and idleness will she suffer? When I see her, I think of myself , I feel distressed, so I pamper her a little bit. As for the little girl's nonsense, don't believe it."

After a month, Jun Lanzhou finally explained the explanation he had been hesitating for a long time.In fact, he didn't want to say it at first, because Ruan Yunting didn't look for him for a month, and he felt that she didn't care who he was with, but today, he sorted out some thoughts, and since he wanted to say something, he had to speak it out. I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future.
