Chapter 50: Father and Daughter Thanksgiving
On this day, the wind shined to the court, Yaoling took Yu'er Chaoxia and the three of them tinkered with a bunch of herbs under the kapok tree, which she ordered her to buy from the largest pharmacy in Yanjing City, since leaving Mr. Ghost Spirit, the medicine she brought has cost a lot, she is now taking advantage of her leisure to get more medicine, and yesterday she went to the most famous silverware shop in Yanjing City to make a lot of silver bells. The breeze was blowing, and the three girls were chattering and laughing, each busy with their own things. At this time, Lancao came and said, "A father and daughter came to the front yard, saying that they had something to find you. "Since Lan Yan left, Lan Cao has been promoted to the head of the backyard.
"Father and daughter?" Yaoling was a little puzzled, not knowing when she had known a father and daughter, seeing Yaoling's doubts, Lancao said softly: "That girl is a dumb girl." ”
"It's them, let them in. Hearing Lancao say this, Yao Ling immediately remembered the father and daughter she met at the inn when she went to Xiwu.
Not long after, Lancao led the father and daughter into the small courtyard. The mute girl laughed happily and excitedly when she saw Yaoling, and kept gesturing to her father. The middle-aged man's complexion at this time has returned to normal, dressed in a gray cloth robe, looking a little vicissitudes of life, but it can be seen that he is a very cultivated person, seeing Yaoling hurriedly clenched his fists and gave a salute, his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep the white magnolia hairpin on Yaoling's hair, and a trace of excitement crossed his eyes, and he said in a dull voice: "Since that day in the inn, I was rescued by the princess and the prince of Ming, and today I made a special trip to express my gratitude to the little girl." ”
Hearing him say this, Yao Ling smiled slightly: "I need to be urgent, I don't need to thank you, but how do you know that I am a princess?"
The middle-aged man smiled a little sadly when he heard her ask: "That day at the inn, I learned that you and Prince Ming went to Mingcheng, the capital of Western Wu, and after I recovered from my illness, I returned to Mingcheng, but after arriving in Mingcheng, I heard that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Jiang Li, so my father and daughter followed Jiang Li again, and I wanted to go to thank them, but I never thought that Jiang Li Guojun posted a notice, and then I learned that you are the princess of Jiang Li who has been lost for many years." I didn't bother anymore, thinking that I was afraid that I would not be able to repay this kindness, but I heard that the princess had left the palace without permission after the New Year's Festival, I guessed that the princess may have come to Yanlong, so I rushed to Yanlong with the little girl, and I really heard your message from the princess here, and today Ritter came to thank you. ”
Hearing him say so much, Yaoling was a little unbearable, "You don't have to be polite, it's also a convenient move to save you, no need to thank you, but you have run so much." ”
The dumb girl looked at Yaoling just smiled, with a happy and cordial face, which made Yaoling can't help but have a good impression of her, that day in the inn she was moved by the dumb girl's filial piety, and today I couldn't help but add a little good impression to her when I saw her like this, so I smiled at her and beckoned, and ordered Yu'er to move the chair and stool for the father and daughter to sit down.
"How did your father and daughter get to that point?" Yao Ling asked the middle-aged man with puzzled eyes, from this man's speech and demeanor, it can be seen that this man must be well-educated, and his background is not from an ordinary family. Hearing Yaoling ask, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, a touch of grief and indignation crossed the depths of his eyes, and he instantly regained his calm, and the dumb girl's face also had hatred, but it was stopped by her father's eyes. After a while, the middle-aged man's hoarse voice said: "My father and daughter were originally Jiang Liren, and they did some small business at home, but the family was unfortunate and suddenly caught fire overnight" Thinking about going on, but after all, he was sad in his heart, and his tone couldn't help but be excited, and his hand was clenched into a fist, seeing this, Yao Ling didn't ask any more, how could she not see the hatred that slipped under the eyes of his father and daughter, but if they didn't say it, it was inconvenient for her to ask, and the scar would definitely bring flesh and blood, which would be more painful than a new injury.
Looking at the beautiful mute girl next to her, she smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
The mute woman stretched out her right hand and wrote the word "Wu" on her left hand.
"Can you write?" said Yaoling, a little surprised.
The mute girl nodded and pointed to her father, and then wrote, and read out softly with her strokes: "Wu Yu" The mute girl nodded.
"How old are you?" She asked again.
The dumb girl gestured with her hand to tell her that she was fifteen years old this year, and when she heard fifteen Yaoling couldn't help but think of Fengzhao and said to her that she was waiting for her and her words, her face turned slightly red, and soon she recovered again, the dumb girl looked at Yaoling's slightly red face, and there was a trace of exploration in her eyes, Yaoling hurriedly turned her head and asked his father: "How do you live in Yanlong now?" Hearing this, the dumb girl's father had a smile on his face: "I used the silver taels given by His Royal Highness Prince Ming to open a small bookstore in Yanjing City, which is enough for my father and daughter to live." "That's fine, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me." She chuckled
The dumb girl and her father were busy thanking Yaoling, and the dumb girl gestured to Yaoling for a while, pointing at Yao'er and Chaoxia, and then pointing at herself, Yaoling understood what she meant: "You mean, you want to stay and be like them?" Yaoling was embarrassed, the people in Xiaofeng's mansion were not ordinary people, and she didn't want strangers to live here, after all, Xiaofeng's identity was special, and if she was not careful, she would have a business trip.
The dumb girl's father saw Yaoling's embarrassment. With a wry smile, he said to Yaoling: "The little girl has always been grateful to you since she met the princess, and I want to follow you, I am now getting old and can't take care of her, and I want her to be cāo for me, and I want to find a good family for her, but who is willing to marry her like me, thinking that if she follows the princess, I will be relieved, but since the princess is embarrassed, even if my father and daughter are not self-conscious, I hope the princess will forgive." After coughing a few times, she pulled up the dumb girl and was about to leave, the dumb girl looked at Yaoling with reluctance, I don't know why Yaoling's heart softened, and when she was in trouble, she saw Fengzhao and Yueming stepping into the courtyard gate.
Feng Zhao looked at the dumb girl father and son in the courtyard, a trace of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes, but there was no major change on his face, but Yueming was slightly stunned.
The dumb girl's father hurriedly stepped forward to give Yue Ming a big salute: "Wu Yu meets His Royal Highness Prince Yanlong Ming and His Royal Highness King Ningjun." Here is a special thank you for the saving grace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Wu Xuan?" Yueming's handsome eyes stared at him and thought sharply in his heart, but he said lightly: "No courtesy"
Feng Zhao quietly observed that there was no expression on his face, Yueming looked at Wu Ying and asked lightly: "Are you here just to thank you?" Wu Ying smiled bitterly and said: "The little girl has not thought of following the princess since she saw the princess in the inn that day" The rest of the words he didn't say again.
Feng took care of Yaoling, saw her embarrassed face, and knew that she was soft-hearted and wanted to keep the dumb girl, but all the people in his house were dead soldiers who had been trained since childhood, and there was no outsider, just as he was thinking about it, there was a light sentence without any affection next to him: "If you don't dislike me, there is still a shortage of a maid in my study." There are too many idlers raised in the Ningjun Palace" After speaking, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Yaoling, and Yaoling's face immediately had an annoyed look.
Wu Ying wanted to say something, but the dumb girl was busy gesturing to her father with an excited face, and then nodded vigorously at Yueming. Seeing this, Wu Ying no longer stopped him, "Wu Ying and the little girl thanked His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Hearing that Yueming took the dumb girl in her house, Yaoling felt much more relieved, although Yueming's last sentence was uncomfortable for her to hear, as long as Xiaofeng didn't think he was redundant, she wouldn't have the heart to say those angry words.
She smiled and beckoned to the mute girl, and when the mute girl walked up to her, she whispered in her ear, "If the other people in the Cold Moon Mansion bully you, just tell me, I won't make them comfortable with me." She muttered, knowing that all the words would fall into the ears of Yueming and Fengzhao, and the pretty eyes that looked at Yueming were a little proud. And Yueming is face is as light as water, as if what Yaoling said has nothing to do with him.
