Chapter 570: Asking for Help Halfway
Hearing the news of the old man's coming, everyone in the house didn't dare to slack off, and they all got up to greet the old man!
After the old man and Tian'er came, everyone greeted each other, and the banquet could be opened.
Although there were not many people eating at this banquet, the rules could not be messed up, and there were still two tables.
One table is the old man with Tian'er, and only two people are eating. At the other table were the rest of the ladies.
The banquet in Dingguo Mansion is still the same, every time Ruoyun eats such a banquet, he comes to pretend, so he doesn't move after eating a few chopsticks, and the situation between Tian'er and the old man is similar.
However, this Yu Miaoling seemed to be very interested in the banquet, and she ate all the things that the girls caught on her plate.
However, when she saw Ruoyun put down her chopsticks, she also quickly put down her chopsticks and refused to eat any more, but there was no lack of envy in her eyes when she looked at Sun Bing, who was feasting.
After a feast, it seemed that most people except Sun Bing had not eaten enough, the old man left early with Tian'er, and the old lady seemed to be tired, impatient to socialize anymore, and only said a few words to let everyone retreat.
Ruoyun took Dong Hong out of Shou'an Courtyard, and the subordinates of Shou'an Courtyard looked a little scared when they saw them, especially when they wanted to avoid Dong Hong, they couldn't avoid it, so they saluted respectfully, and then ran away in a panic.
It's really because of the last time Ruoyun cleaned up Yayun in this courtyard, the subordinates of this Shou'an Courtyard were deeply impressed, especially the appearance of Dong Hong and Dong Lan beating people with great might, which made them afraid of these two little girls who were only ten years old.
In the past, these people thought they were people in the old lady's yard, and they didn't care about the people in other yards, even the big girls with heads and faces were some face-saving efforts in front of them, and they didn't take it seriously in private, but now these people don't dare to take a stand against the people of Dongli Xuan!
Ruoyun and Dong Hong ignored the timid eyes of these people, and just walked straight back.
After dinner, the sky was already a little dark, and it was time for people to go to eat, so there was no one in the yard, and the two walked to a path, which was empty, and it was particularly quiet, because there was shade from the trees, which made the road darker.
The sky is dark, the flowers and trees are forested, and there is silence at this time, for ordinary women, they may be a little scared, but Ruoyun and Donghong are not ordinary women.
The two just walked quietly and didn't speak, although after seeing that Yu Miaoling today, Dong Hong had a lot of things to say to the girl, but this is not the time, there are ears on the walls everywhere in this mansion, and there may not be someone hiding in that corner here, so the two didn't say anything!
No, when the two of them walked to the middle of the trail, they suddenly heard an exclamation of "oops" behind them, and then another person's voice called out nervously and concernedly, "Girl, be careful, are you okay!" ”
"It's okay, it's dark, I can't see clearly, Shui He, I seem to have stepped on you just now, are you okay!"
"Don't worry, the girl didn't step on the slave at all, she just touched the slave lightly, it's okay!"
"Oh, that's good!"
There was silence here, although the other party didn't speak loudly, but Ruoyun and Donghong could still hear it clearly.
But then the voices of several people lowered, as if they were discussing something!
After a while, there were footsteps walking a few steps quickly, and a voice came: "I don't know who is in front, can you help us!" ”
was stopped, Ruoyun and Dong Hong stopped, turned their heads to look behind, there was a girl standing respectfully behind them not far away, and behind her was another girl supporting a girl, in the night, this girl was slim, quiet, it was Yu Miaoling who had only met today!
After Ruoyun turned his head, when Yu Miaoling saw that the person walking in the dark in front of him turned out to be Ruoyun's master and servant, his face was not only a little embarrassed, but also a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly walked a few steps forward and said, "I've seen the county lord!" ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Yu, I don't know if Miss Yu needs help?" Ruoyun asked with a smile.
"This!" Yu Miaoling hesitated a little and didn't say anything.
"Miss Yu, since you have come to the house, you are not an outsider, just say anything directly!" Ruoyun said.
"Slave Shui Lotus, I've seen the county lord!" The girl who stopped Ruoyun just now said, "That's the case, our master and servant have just arrived, and they are not familiar with the environment in the house, and they have not found their way back for a long time in this courtyard just now, and at this time the sky is getting dark, and I saw that there was someone in front of me asking for help, but I didn't expect it to be the county lord!" ”
"I see, then I'll send you back!" Ruoyun said with a smile.
"How can this be made, how dare you labor the county lord to send it in person!" Yu Miaoling hurriedly shook her head and said, she didn't want to say it just now because she was afraid that she would drive the county lord, originally she was a little weak when she came to this mansion, how could she dare to trespass at all!
"It's okay, the Luwei Pavilion where Miss Yu lives is on the same road as my Dongli Xuan, and we can go together!"
Yu Miaoling breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then saw that the sky was indeed dark, and there was no one around, so she nodded and thanked her!
In this way, Ruoyun's master and servant and Yu Miaoling's master and servant three, a total of five people will go together.
Although they were in a group, Ruoyun's master and servant didn't speak, just led the way in front, and Yu Miaoling's master and servant saw that Ruoyun didn't speak, and the three of them didn't dare to say anything, so the girls walked in front of and behind them in two similar figures, and the atmosphere was a little awkward and subtle for a while.
After walking like this for a while, when he was about to walk out of this dark path, Yu Miaoling behind him suddenly sighed, and then said with a little sadness: "County Lord, I wonder if Miaoling can take the liberty of asking?" ”
"Oh, Miss Yu, if you have something to say, just ask!"
"County Lord, are you angry with Miao Ling?" Yu Miaoling said with a little apprehension.
"Oh, no, why did Miss Yu say this?" Ruoyun looked surprised!
"County Lord, do you know that when my father-in-law first saw me four years ago, he was surprised and called me Yun'er!" Yu Miaoling suddenly said something very jumpy.
When Ruoyun heard this, he suddenly stopped, and then looked at Yu Miaoling, in the dark, Ruoyun's face was unknown, and he couldn't see clearly, but Yu Miaoling felt that the eyes of the county lord of Anyang were similar to her, and he was looking at her embarrassedly.
Yu Miaoling showed a hint of panic on her face, but she still gritted her teeth and continued: "Since then, I have known that I am very similar to the concubine of the Duke of Dingguo!" And I was lucky to be liked by Dingguo Gong, so I became the righteous daughter of Dingguo Gong, who is famous all over the world and has a noble status! ”
"When I was a child, my father was not by my side, and then my mother also went, and when I was only eight years old, I sent people under the fence to wash the clothes of my uncle's family, and I had to go up the mountain to chop wood, and work in the fields.
"But since I recognized my father-in-law, I have really become the eldest lady, at the border, even the daughter of the prefect family has to give me three points, I have become noble all of a sudden, I don't have to work to have brocade clothes and jade food, call slaves and maids to be served! More importantly, I have always received the fatherly love and affection I longed for, my stepfather treated me very well and loved me very much, and at that time I felt that I was so happy, and no one was more blessed than me! ”
"But one day, my father-in-law was drunk and touched my head, shouting Yun'er for a while, shouting Tian'er for a while, and Dingguo Gong, who was famous on the battlefield and shed blood, sweat and tears, actually shed tears in front of me. I cried because I felt so cold! It turns out that I am just a shadow and a sustenance, not a happy daughter who I think! Yu Miaoling's voice was a little choked!
"Hehe, Sister Yu, I don't understand, what do you mean by telling me this?" Just when everyone was immersed in Miao Ling's love and sadness, Ruoyun chuckled.
Yu Miaoling, who had tears in her eyes, looked at Ruoyun with a slightly cynical smile in the shadows, her face was not only pale, but she bit her lower lip and continued: "When I came to Beijing, I already thought that the county lord would be angry with me, and I know that no one would like an imposter to enjoy their due rights!" But I want to tell the county lord that people's appearance is innate, and I can't change it! ”
"Although I have gained a lot because of this appearance, but I am also very helpless, in fact, I also live in the shadow of the county lord all the time, a person lives in the shadow of others, I can't be myself I don't know how uncomfortable the county lord is, so please the county lord can understand my helplessness, don't be angry with me, I really don't want to be like this, I can't help it!"
Yu Miaoling's voice choked, but she didn't let the tears fall, she was a little stubborn, a little helpless looked at Ruoyun, and said such a thing bluntly!
"Miss Yu, you think too much, I am not angry with the girl, in fact, Miss Yu is also innocent, I know this very well, I am just angry with my father, but this is just a matter between our father and daughter, I understand it very well, so I will not be angry with my sister casually!" Ruoyun still smiled.
"Really, county lord?" Yu Miaoling's face was surprised with joy!
"Of course, I, Bai Ruoyun, may not be so confused, things are as they should be, I won't anger anyone casually!" Ruoyun nodded.
"The county lord is really transparent, a well-informed person, much stronger than me, it's my little family who didn't figure it out, and rashly told the county lord this!" Yu Miaoling had a sincere apology on her face.
Ruoyun smiled and shook his head!
"But the county lord, although the righteous father has not been by the county lord's side all these years, but he also has a hard time, as the commander of the border pass, he has a lot of major affairs to deal with at the border pass, and he can not be sloppy at all, he doesn't really love the county lord and the prince, please don't be angry with the righteous father!" Yu Miaoling explained with eagerness on her face. R1152
