Chapter Seventy-Three: The Storm is Coming
In these days when Huarong and Nishang Pavilion joined forces, Yingluo was very idle in the Jade Mansion, and on weekdays, she just read poetry and books, played the piano, or walked around in the courtyard, such Yingluo fell in Zichai's eyes It is also very unusual.
Yingluo was looking not far away under the dead trees on the side at this time, looking at the scenery, but people's minds didn't know where to run. Zichai was standing at the gate of the courtyard and listening to the maid on the side bowing her head to say something to her, and after the maid left, Zichai looked at the back of her young lady standing in the distance, and couldn't help sighing, Miss Ansheng recently made her a little worried.
She walked gently to Yingluo's side and called Miss in a proper manner. Yingluo was dressed as a woman at this time, and the veil on her face made her look very feminine. She looked at Zichai and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Just now the maid said that the old man went out of the house, saying that he would not eat at home at noon today. Therefore Madame told her to come and tell Mademoiselle that she would not have to go there today. Zichai glanced up at Yingluo and replied.
Yingluo nodded and didn't say anything more, too, Yingluo didn't have anything to say. Just turned around and went back to the house, and was quiet for a while, but said relaxedly, "I just don't have to go over, I'm a little tired, make up for sleep." With that, he walked to the bed, took off his coat, and lay down. Zichai had no choice but to cover the quilt for Yingluo.
Yingluo closed her eyes, but her mind was still spinning, her father must have found Qi Xu when he went out, and now Qi Xu has not reached the crown, so he has no mansion, he is still living in the palace. But Daddy must have a way to meet him.
Yingluo woke up again, and vaguely saw that it was already dark outside the window, and knew that she had slept for a long time, but in this case, she would not be able to sleep at night. She called Zichai over and re-combed her hair, then lit the lamp and waited to read.
After a while, a maid came in outside and said that it was Yuchifeng who asked Yingluo to go to the study, Yingluo knew that what Yuchifeng was talking about must be Qi Xu, so Zichai put a heavy cloak on her, and the master and servant went to Yuchifeng's study.
When she arrived at Yuchifeng's study, Yingluo left Zichai at the door of the study and walked in alone.
At this time, Yu Chifeng didn't read any books, just looked at the door of the study tightly, thinking that he was waiting for Yingluo, and when Yingluo entered the study, Yuchifeng stood up.
"What did Daddy do when he stood up?" Yingluo was a little skeptical, her usual father would not be so flustered, could it be that something happened to Qi Xu.
Yu Chifeng walked in front of Yingluo, and stopped talking a little.
Yingluo hugged Yuchi Feng and asked, "It's good for Daddy to say something, why bother?" My daughter is much stronger than you think! Yingluo thought about it, she really couldn't think of anything else except being rejected by Qi Xu, after all, she insisted on being a stranger to Qi Xu, and Qi Xu didn't want to help herself, but she really felt a little wronged when she thought of this.
Yu Chifeng looked at Yingluo and opened his mouth again, "Qi Xu, agreed." "It's just that the expression on his face is not relaxed. Yingluo looked at her father's expression and understood, Xu is Qi Xu agreed, but what did he say to make his father embarrassed.
Yingluo helped Yuchifeng sit down, and said softly, "No matter what happens, he will agree after all, and if there are any ancillary conditions, it should be." She knew that Qi Xu was willing to help herself regardless of his previous suspicions, and he would also have to ask for some interest. And as a man, no matter who is standing in front of him, he has to save his face, not to mention the arrogant Qi Xu.
"Luo'er, don't meddle in this matter, Daddy will do it." Suddenly, Yu Chifeng said such a thing categorically, and couldn't help but make Yingluo think about what Qi Xu said.
"Daddy, my daughter doesn't agree." Yingluo simply made an awkward fuss, let go of Yu Chifeng's arm, and said firmly.
Yu Chifeng felt a headache, and was provoked by Yingluo's words, and roared again, "You don't want to mess around." ”
Yingluo saw that her father was angry, so she had to turn back to look at Yuchifeng, and said softly, "My daughter is wrong, don't be angry, it's just this matter, my daughter will definitely not let go." Daddy, what did he say that made you so embarrassed? ”
Yingluo rarely makes Yu Chifeng angry, this is soft, Yu Chifeng's heart is softer, after all, Yingluo will take over the business is nothing more than for him, but when he thinks about Qi Xu's polite and alienated words when he meets Qi Xu today, he doesn't want Yingluo to have anything to do with him, Qi Xu was born in the emperor's family, and the emperor's decisiveness and domineering are all in him, but they are gradually taking shape.
Looking at the daughter he raised alone, Yu Chifeng hesitated, but still said, "What he means is that as long as the Yu family becomes an imperial merchant one day, you must pretend to be the righteous son of the Yu family and follow him." In this case, since Yingluo wants the family to prosper, she must sacrifice herself.
Yingluo was stunned, really, Qi Xu is still the same Qi Xu, more domineering than he was at that time, what he got lightly, he could abandon it like a shoe, what he couldn't get, he would get it with thousands of means. Not to mention just having it delivered to your door.
But why did she feel so painful? Does this mean that in front of him, she is no different from others. In that case, why did she avoid her, afraid of her own pain and his pain?
The corners of her mouth were filled with bitterness, so it seemed that she had only one way to go!
Therefore, in the face of Yu Chifeng, she still gave relief, "Daddy, don't worry, didn't he say that he wanted his daughter to follow her as the righteous son of the Yu family?" The left and right just said that she would let her daughter be by her side, since she did not damage her daughter's reputation, what was the father afraid of? ”
How can Yu Chifeng not understand this truth, but the daughter in front of him can be described as the pearl of his palm, with Yingluo's temperament, he will not compromise and seek perfection, but his reputation will not be damaged, but will people like jade suffer? Qi Xu left the Jade Mansion for three years, and when he came back again after these three years, he could clearly feel that Qi Xu had changed and became unpredictable. The shy and talkative teenager in the past was raised in the deep palace, and that kind of temperament is long gone.
But if Qi Xu has changed, can he still be as good to Yingluo as before? Even if Yingluo was determined to be a stranger to him, would he still be like that? He didn't know, it was because he didn't know that he didn't dare to let his daughter get involved. But he looked up at his daughter, and the expression was hard to say that she would definitely meddle in such a thing. If she made up her mind not to let her interfere, she didn't know what would become of her daughter, and for a while, he was very embarrassed.
Seeing Yu Chifeng hesitate, Yingluo pondered, and then said, "Daddy, this matter, my daughter will definitely intervene, this is a matter of the fate of the family, the matter of the Hua family is imminent, even if Daddy thinks of a way now, it is too late, not to mention that it is not just Daddy and Daughter in the family now." There are also Erniang, brother and sister, how can Daddy ignore the three of them for me? My younger brother still has to take the imperial examination, and my sister is about to pass the imperial examination, can my father bear it? ”
Hearing this, Yu Chifeng couldn't help but raise his head, the emotion in his eyes was even more complicated, but he didn't know what to say.
"Daddy, my brother and sister have been displaced with Erniang for fifteen years, and I have enjoyed Daddy's favor for so many years, I am willing to do these things for Daddy," Speaking of this, Yingluo's eyes were dyed with sadness, and she pointed to her face to Yuchifeng, and continued, "I'm not just for Daddy, but also for my daughter herself." ”
Yuchifeng was even more heartbroken, he understood what Yingluo meant, now she is a dilapidated face, how can she marry, Yufu will always be her warmest habitat, she must protect it.
