Chapter 1 Waiting

Su Mengling took her two personal maids, Yan'er and Yu'er, and left the Genting Heavenly Palace at dawn.

They were light and simple, and Su Mengling politely declined the three guards and a large amount of money arranged for him by Zhuo Hua.

When Zhuo Hua sent the three of them away from the Cloud Sky Monument, the first rays of sunlight in the morning happened to shine from between the mountains and shone on the bodies of the two separate people.

"Mengling, it is very dangerous for you three women to walk in this troubled world, listen to the advice of the eldest brother, bring the guards!"

Su Mengling lowered her head and smiled, then raised her head and showed her signature bright smile towards Zhuo Hua, with big eyes full of aura and two sweet dimples.

"Big brother, thank you for your kindness. But I really couldn't rely on anyone else, and when I found my father this time, I went to find a town closer to him and supported myself with my own hands. ”

"Then you hold this magic weapon, it can save your life in times of danger!" Zhuo Hua stretched out his hand and handed over a small copper box, the small box gave people a simple and heavy feeling.

Su Mengling didn't stretch out her hand, she smiled and said to Zhuo Hua: "Big brother, you know that I don't want these things. ”

Zhuo Hua took back the hand that was hanging in the air, and sighed lightly: "Then you take care of yourself, if you want to come back, you will always be welcome in the Cloud Palace." ”

Su Mengling nodded, and then asked Zhuo Hua affectionately with big crystal eyes: "Big brother, parting is imminent, can you hug me?"

Zhuo Hua hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his hands and hugged Su Mengling in his arms.

A bright smile and tears of sadness appeared on Su Mengling's face at the same time, and her mouth whispered in Zhuo Hua's ear: "I don't know why I love so cheaply, can't I be born to be a human being and never get a little pity from you?"

Zhuo Hua opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort her, but Su Mengling didn't give him this chance, and after saying that, he left his embrace, and took the maid to brave the flying snow and staggered down the monument road.

"Zhongshenzhou Nancheng Mountain!Go there to find your father!Yuqing Shu said before that she would be there!" Zhuo Hua shouted loudly into the wind and snow.

The small figure stretched out her right hand to the sky, waved it twice in the air, and then disappeared into the wind and snow.

A month later, in an inn in Honglu Pass. Yan'er just brought a basin of water and wanted to wash up the young lady who had just gotten up.

Yu'er, who was combing Su Mengling's hair, pouted and said to Su Mengling: "Miss, we have been staring here for more than ten days, why hasn't Junshen sent someone to take us back!"

Su Mengling also showed a somewhat uneasy look on her face, she turned around and asked Yu'er: "Come all the way, did you leave all the clues left?"

"All of them were stayed, and they were all kept according to Miss's request. The silver of the Cloud Palace, which has not been used in a town with people, has also handed over a post to the local parents, indicating the identity of the young lady. If you're interested in asking, it's easy to find this place. Yan'er soaked the towel on the shelf and replied to Su Mengling.

"But, but why is no one coming? Yu'er, you have taken good care of the inn junior, if you find out that there are people from the Cloud Palace in the city, they will report to us?"

"Yes, really said. But I gave the little boy two taels of silver as the young lady had instructed, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and kept saying that he would keep an eye on the gate of the city at all times. ”

Su Mengling stopped talking, just lowered her head and fell into deep thought again.

For so many days after arriving here, she either watched the crowd coming in and out of the city gate on the second floor of the wine shop every day, or found a tea shop on the side of the official road outside the city gate and sat for a day.

Yan'er knew very well in her heart that if the king god had the heart to send someone to come, he would have come a long time ago, and he wouldn't have to wait so many days.

But Yu'er believed in the judgment of their young lady very much, and said that the people from the Cloud Palace would come soon, at most, wait for ten days at most!

Time is very cruel for a person who waits, Su Mengling gradually lost weight in the waiting day after day, the original big eyes are now a little sunken, and the round cheeks have become very thin, and the daily food is unpleasant, and the night is sleepless, so another ten days have passed.

As soon as it was dawn on this day, Su Mengling woke up from a light sleep. Suddenly she burst into tears, and the two maidservants who lived in the outhouse did not have time to put on their clothes, so they put on a cloak and ran in.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you having nightmares again?" Yan'er ran over with a concerned face and helped Su Mengling wipe her tears.

Yu'er ran over to pour her a glass of water, and handed it to Su Mengling with both hands.

"Let's go! they won't come. Su Mengling stopped crying, raised her head and said to the two.

"Why, didn't Miss say that someone would come in ten days? Today, the ten-day period is just over, so why not wait another day?" Yu'er said with a pleading face holding the teacup in both hands.

Yan'er looked at Yu'er, and then at Su Mengling, she knew very well in her heart that even if she got the child today, no one would come, but in the current situation, it was not good for her to puncture her illusions in front of them, so she had to remain silent.

Su Mengling thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Then let's wait until the time is over, and after the time is over, we will set off and go to Nancheng Mountain." ”

After tossing for a while, the two maidservants served Su Mengling and fell asleep again.

When she woke up, Yu'er and Yan'er came to Su Meng's mourning room as usual to help her wash and dress.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Miss Su, are you up?" a young man's voice came to the ears of the three people with a smile.

Yu'er heard that it was the little guy who helped them inquire about the news, so she yelled at the door: "Is there something wrong?"

The voice outside the door seemed to be even happier after receiving an answer, and his voice was slightly raised: "Miss Hui, Miss asked Xiao to inquire about anyone in the city who came to find Miss from the Cloud Palace, and there was news this morning." ”

The three masters and servants were all stunned suddenly, and the two girls stopped what they were doing and looked at Su Mengling in a daze.

Su Mengling's face was full of joy and worry, and she shouted to Yu'er and Yan'er: "Yu'er, you go and ask him what the hell is going on." Yan'er, quick, you help me make up. My face is so bad, I really can't see people. ”

Yu'er hurriedly came to the door, leaned her head against the door, and asked in a low voice, "What is the news, tell me quickly." ”

The voice outside the door said with a smile: "Naturally, it's good news, but my sister promised me another two taels of silver after the matter was completed..."

"As long as the news is true, the money will be yours. Hurry up and hear about it. Yu'er urged impatiently.

After getting Yu'er's assurance, the little guy outside the door continued: "Early this morning, I stood on the street as usual to solicit customers, and saw three people not far from the city gate, asking from door to door, because the young lady had asked me before, so I have recently paid special attention to these outsiders who inquired about things, so I went up and listened, sister, what do you guess I heard?"

"Whoever has time to guess riddles with you here, hurry up!"

The little guy was bored with himself, and he was a little embarrassed, but soon he picked up his spirits again and said, "I heard that those three people are asking the merchants on the street to inquire about three women from the Cloud Palace, and according to their descriptions, they are the three ladies!"

When Yu'er heard this, she chuckled in her heart, and thought in her heart: "Someone really came to us! Miss is so amazing@"

"Then have you ever found out where those three people are from?" asked Yu'er.

"I followed them for a while, and listened to their own introductions that they were from the Cloud Palace, and came here to find three women who were also from the Cloud Palace. The little guy replied.

"Then why didn't you bring them here?"

"How dare I make decisions about such a big matter and a small matter! When I heard the news, I naturally wanted to run back to report to Miss as soon as possible, and then decide whether to see or not. I've already inquired about the whereabouts of those three people, and they live in the Biho Pavilion not far away. ”

"Even if you have some brains, I'll go and report to my young lady, and when I see those three people, I will naturally give you the silver. Yu'er said.

"Sister, you see that I have worked hard for so many days to help find out the news, do you want to add some hard-earned money to me!"

"If you get a cheap deal, sit on the ground and start the price, right! Tell you, no way! If my young lady is taken back to the Cloud Palace, it will be another matter if you are in a good mood and reward you. If you want to add money on this temporarily, you don't need to talk about it. Yu'er said this domineeringly, and went to the back room to tell Su Mengling the news.

"Miss, that little guy came to report just now..."

Before Yu'er finished speaking, Su Mengling smiled and stretched out her hand to interrupt her: "I heard your conversation just now, those three people from the Cloud Palace live in the Blue Hoof Pavilion, right?"

"Mademoiselle's hearing is awesome, she can hear clearly from such a distance. Yu'er flattered.

Yan'er glanced at her: "Then why don't you hurry up and let that little guy invite someone over?"

Yu'er clapped her hands, and then happily ran out of the house to find the little maid.

Yan'er looked at Su Mengling, who pretended to be light on the surface, but was already ecstatic in her heart, and couldn't help but remind with some worry: "Miss, although these people claim to be from the Cloud Palace, we haven't distinguished the authenticity, we will meet later, Miss needs to carefully review their identities, don't tell them from the beginning!"

But at this moment, Su Mengling's heart had already flown back to Zhuo Hua's side, where could he still listen to Yan'er's persuasion, just waved his hand, and said perfunctorily: "Naturally, I won't take the initiative to tell everything, they are here to ask me to go back, of course, they need to beg me a few more times, so I can reluctantly agree to them to go back!"
