Chapter 178: Three Boards
When Doudou and his party took the carriage to the largest inn in Tongzhou, it was already dark. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tongzhou is located in the key point, all kinds of people come and go on the street, and the inn is also brightly lit and lively.
Wu Jingui and the others had already come to the inn to book a room, and were waiting at the door of the inn at this time.
As soon as Doudou got out of the carriage, he greeted him: "Girl, the slave has booked you a Tianzi room, you go and freshen up first, and the wine and food will be ready immediately." ”
Wu Jingui is an honest man, and what is in his heart has always been written on his face, Doudou saw that his expression was a little too excited and smiled: "Brother Jingui, who in the family came to pick me up in the inn?"
Wu Jingui hurriedly shook his head: "No, no...... The minion is just thinking that he is about to return home, and he is happy......"
Doudou didn't embarrass him, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back to the room to freshen up first." ”
It's not surprising that the government got the news that she has arrived in Tongzhou today, but who will pick her up?
Huo Xiao: Probably not.
Before the marriage was officially announced, Daddy would definitely not allow the two of them to openly "go in and out of pairs".
Sister?
She is now a prospective princess to be married, and the divorce period is not far away, so it is naturally difficult to go out at will.
Grandmother is old, and she does not dare to work her old man.
The two younger brothers are too young......
Mother?hehe...... Her lentils don't have such a big face.
As for Daddy, it's definitely even more impossible, it's almost the end of the year, and there are so many things in the yamen, where can I spare so much time.
Before Doudou could think clearly, the person had already walked to the door of the Tianzi room.
The maids hurriedly pushed open the door for her.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Yuan Zheng, who was wearing a scarlet second-grade official uniform, sitting on the official hat chair in the room.
"Daddy—"
This is a big surprise, Doudou never expected that it would be her father who came to Tongzhou to pick her up.
And looking at the official uniform on his father's body, could it be that he came directly to Tongzhou from the yamen......
said that it was too late to change the official uniform, this is the second time that it has happened to Yuan Zheng in the past half a month.
He knows the approximate itinerary of Doudou, but no one can estimate the exact day and hour.
Today, he was still handling official business in the yamen, and he got the news that the second daughter would arrive at the Tongzhou wharf in the evening.
Where can Yuan Zheng still sit still, he hurriedly rode on a horse with a few entourages and rushed directly to Tongzhou.
In fact, he only arrived at the inn a moment earlier than Wu Jingui, where did he have time to change clothes.
Seeing the second daughter, who was becoming more and more beautiful, and hearing her call her father affectionately in a crisp and sweet voice, Yuan Zheng's eyes turned red.
For more than two years, he has never stopped caring about his second daughter, afraid that she will be cold, hungry, and bullied outside......
But it wasn't until she reappeared in front of him that Yuan Zheng realized that his concern was far more and deeper than he thought.
This little girl who is not his own flesh and blood has occupied a position in his heart that no one can replace at some point.
The weight is not lighter than her own three children, and she even has a little more pity because of her background, and a little more love because she is sensible and cute.
It is this concern that is too heavy, which makes the Yuan people, who have been officials for more than ten years, feel a little helpless.
Seeing that his eyes were red and his lips were trembling slightly, Doudou stopped.
Daddy was really mad at her......
Yuan Zheng finally stood up from the chair, stretched out his arms and said in a trembling voice, "Yuan'er...... Come here and let Father have a good look......"
"Daddy-" Doudou couldn't hold back any longer, and the milk swallow rushed into Yuan Zheng's arms like homecoming.
The father and daughter hugged each other and cried, and the maids standing at the door, including Wu Jingui and several attendants, also shed tears.
Yuan Zheng adjusted his breathing, patted Doudou's thin shoulder and said, "Yuan'er, it's good to come back, it's good to come back......"
Doudou withdrew from Yuan Zheng's arms, wiped his tears and said, "Daddy, don't you blame your daughter? I thought you would definitely punish my ......"
As if reminded by this sentence, Yuan Zheng's handsome face immediately collapsed.
Doudou's little heart tightened, is she self-inflicted......
Yuan Zheng said coldly: "Of course you have to be punished, and you have to punish it now!"
Doudou said in a coquettish voice: "Daddy-"
"Shaohe is coquettish for his father. Yuan Zheng said as he took out a ring ruler from his sleeve.
"Huh?" Doudou exclaimed slightly.
She is very familiar with this ring ruler, and her father taught her to read and play the piano since she was a child, and as long as she doesn't work hard, she will be used to hit her palms.
The ring rulers in the world all look similar, but this one, which she carved with a knife when she was six and a half years old...... A pig's head.
It's just that...... Dad was so busy that he didn't even have time to change his official uniform, how could he carry such a terrible "weapon" on his body?
Although the beating heart is not painful, but so many maids and followers are present, she is very embarrassed.
She even felt like she could see the pig's head smiling on the ruler......
Yuan Zhengcai ignored her coquettishness, and said with a straight face: "Reach out!"
The maids' retinue all bowed their heads, their shoulders twitching suspiciously.
How can the second master be willing to punish the girl, but he just behaves like he did when he was a child.
Doudou knew that he couldn't rely on it today, so he had to obediently stretch out his jade white hand.
Yuan Zheng picked up the ring ruler and slapped it in her palm: "This first time, I hit you with a mouth full of lies, will you dare in the future?"
Doudou pouted, "Don't dare." ”
Yuan Zheng slapped again: "The second time, you dare to settle family affairs with people indiscriminately, without considering the consequences, are you wronged?"
Doudou nodded: "Not wronged." ”
On the third blow, Yuan Zheng added a little bit of force, and Doudou's little hands were red, and he himself shook his hand, and the ring ruler fell directly to the ground.
Doudou didn't feel much pain, but he was taken aback by his big reaction.
She hurriedly pulled Yuan Zheng's arm and said, "Daddy, it's all my daughter's fault, don't scare me......"
Yuan Zheng said: "Yuan'er, hasn't my father been good enough to you all these years, why do you want to break my heart like this!"
Doudou is a little confused, did she do anything bad?
Yuan Zheng glanced at her, who will tell him in the future that the second daughter is smart and clever, and he is in a hurry!
Chickens and ducks are the most annoying!
Master Yuan symbolically wiped away a handful of old tears: "What do you mean by putting a silver ticket in my letter to your mother? Do you want to completely dissociate yourself from us? From now on, you will no longer recognize us as a family?"
Doudou lowered his head embarrassedly and muttered, "That's not what my daughter meant......"
Yuan Zheng said: "Then what do you mean? If you don't make it clear, I won't dare to recognize you anymore as a father." ”
Doudou hurriedly raised his head and looked at Yuan Zheng: "Daddy, I thought about it for a while at that time, and I felt that since my mother didn't like me, ......"
She didn't know how to explain to her father what was going on in her mind.
Yuan Zheng took her into his arms and said, "Silly girl, did you hear the quarrel between me and your mother that time? Five hundred taels of silver a year, you can calculate it clearly." ”
Doudou's tears flowed out again.
Yuan Zheng said again: "It's a good thing that the little girl's family has backbone, but Buxing and her relatives are also angry like this, the silver is calculated clearly, can the feelings that can be paid be recovered and calculated clearly?"
Doudou couldn't cry: "Daddy...... Yuan'er was wrong, and I will never do anything stupid to hurt my relatives in the future......"
ps: Lentil girl knows that she is wrong~ I wish you all a happy weekend~ (To be continued.) )
