Chapter 22: Unexpected Changes
When Yingluo returned to her courtyard, she instructed Zichai to bring her the clothes she wore on weekdays, because she thought that there should be guests in the hall, so she should dress up more formally. Zichai brought a chrysanthemum short blouse to Yingluo, and a white plain long skirt, and wore a thin robe outside, and used a cyan leather belt around her waist. Zichai tore off the ribbon that tied Yingluo's hair, let Yingluo sit down, and then skillfully made a lily bun for Yingluo, coiled the hair into two strands, and then folded it, inserting a white hosta at the knot of the hair, and the broken hair in front was divided into both sides, which made Yingluo more elegant.
Then Zichai took the veil for Yingluo, and Yingluo took off the mask on her face and put the veil on, so that she returned to the appearance of a woman.
Yingluo stood up and said, "Daddy must have eaten, I don't know how many days have passed, how is Daddy's health, it's time to take a look." Zichai has no doubt, but she just put a cloak on Yingluo, saying that it is cold, and it is time to pay attention. Yingluo took the purple hairpin and walked to the courtyard of Yuchi Peak.
After the bamboo forest, not far away to the courtyard of Yuchi Peak, Yingluo just asked the family guarding the courtyard: "Daddy is back after dinner?" ”
"Miss Hui, the master hasn't come back yet." It's just that Jia Ding did tremble a little when he answered Yingluo, and it was inexplicable to make Yingluo good. Yingluo nodded, even more curious about what kind of guests Yuchi Feng received. Yingluo's mind was already delicate, but now that she thought about it, there were many clues, so it seemed that Yingluo didn't have time to think about anything, so she walked towards the hall.
Before she could walk in the door, Yingluo heard laughter coming from inside, which sounded like her father's voice, "Eat more, it's all your own home, what's the restraint?" Yingluo heard that although she was curious about who that person was, she thought that it should not be an occasion where she could not appear, and thought, Yingluo entered the door.
When Yingluo entered the door, the sound stopped, and Yingluo was also stunned, because she saw that one of the people who was having dinner with her father was Yang Ziyou, whom she met by chance on the road.
At this moment, there is a dining table in the hall, and Yu Chi Feng is sitting in the right place, and Yang Ziyou is sitting on the right hand side of Yu Chi Feng, on the left hand side of Yu Chi Feng is a woman next to Yang Ziyou last time, the woman is about thirty years old, her face is slightly pale at the moment, and there is a smile on the corner of her mouth, it is not difficult to hide her beauty, and on the left hand side of the woman is the girl who followed them that day, her expression is still cold, just looking at Yingluo's eyes, but it is slightly cold, and Yu Chi Feng who is sitting in the right place, her face is a little ugly. Seeing that the atmosphere was deserted, Yuchi Feng said, "Luo'er is back?" ”
"My daughter just got dressed." Although Yingluo didn't understand the situation in front of her, she replied decently.
And at this moment, the woman sitting next to Yuchi Peak answered, "Master, presumably this is Yingluo?" The woman glanced at Yingluo, but it made Yingluo a little uncomfortable, and what made Yingluo feel a little wrong was that she just called the master instead of the jade master, so what does this mean?
Yu Chifeng motioned for Yang Ziyou to move to the side, and then asked Yingluo to sit over, Yingluo didn't say anything, and sat down, her mind repeatedly thinking about the possible situation, but it was a mess.
"Daddy, this?" Yingluo looked at Yuchi Peak and asked in a low voice. Then he only listened to Yu Chifeng's voice, and his heart was heavily stirred, and Yu Chifeng said: "This is your second mother and your younger brothers and sisters." ”
"What?" Yingluo stood up suddenly, a little hard to believe, no matter this woman, even Yang Ziyou in front of her is the same age as herself, how can her father have a child as old as herself, unless, after having her, her father will...
"Luo'er, sit down." Yu Chifeng looked at the excited Yingluo and said softly to Yingluo.
"Daddy, forgive my daughter for being reckless." After that, Yingluo left the stool and walked out, while Zichai was guarding outside, watching her young lady leave, so she hurriedly followed Yingluo's footsteps. And a few people in the hall, the atmosphere suddenly cooled.
"Master, I shouldn't have come looking for you again if I knew I wouldn't have come." The woman bit her lip, but the tears flowed quietly, very weak, and Yu Chifeng sighed, wiped the tears for the woman, and said: "Lianniang, it's not your fault, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen to such a point, after all, Luo'er just needs time." Then Yu Chifeng looked up at the two children in front of him, and just said, "Let's all go back and rest." ”
The two of them nodded, said yes, and left. And Yingluo walked all the way to her yard, didn't enter the house, just walked straight to the back lake, she thought, she needed time to be quiet. Zichai originally followed Yingluo, but when she saw that her young lady went directly to Houhu, she thought that Yingluo was going to stay for a while, so she went to the house to put a heavier cloak. Although Yingluo is not wearing a thick dress, but now the weather is already in winter, and the lake is cold and cold at night, and the cold is too heavy, if you stay like this for a few moments, you will get sick.
When Zichai arrived at Houhu, Yingluo was standing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, dressed in plain white clothes and even more lonely in the dark night. Zichai walked to Yingluo's side and gently added another layer of cloak to Yingluo. Yingluo didn't look at anyone, so she knew that it was her, so she just ordered Zichai a few words, "You go and ask, what happened in the past few days when I was away?" ”
Zichai replied and said, "Miss should take care of her body." With that, Zichai turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, leaving Yingluo alone standing in the pavilion.
Yingluo looked at the lake shrouded in darkness around her and sighed slightly. She was not angry with her father, on the contrary, she felt that her father had been alone for so long, and he should find someone to be his companion, but why did the people who came with him have children of the same age as herself, and the feeling that followed her was that these children were her father's flesh and blood.
Her mother died when she was seven years old, and it was because of her poor health when she was pregnant with her, which became even worse later. She still remembered that it was raining lightly on the day her mother left, and it was dark, like a big black thing covering the sky. At that time, my father had a hasty business and was not by my mother's side, my mother took her hand and told her with a painful look that she should take care of her father, although she didn't understand much, but she still cried and nodded. Dad came back one day later, hugged his mother's corpse and cried, and since then he has never mentioned the continuation of the string. Now, after all, the feelings are fading.
Yingluo remembered that her father's hair had begun to turn white in the past few years, but her eyes were slightly sour, she knew that her father should let her take care of it, so this time, if her father would be happier, she accepted it.
