Chapter 49: The Past
Lin Yufu looked at Zhao Yuru who stepped forward, and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"Listen to the story, of course! Otherwise, how do you think we spend our lives in Qinyunju? Zhao Yuru leaned back in the chair and said: "I really miss the old days, in the Zhao Mansion, no one talked to me!" โ
Lin Yufu glanced blankly, but her thoughts still returned to a few years ago.
"Actually, Princess An and my brother are also fated to be inseparable. You see, the eldest princess is calm and quiet now, and she used to be a fun-loving crazy girl. โ
At this, she smiled.
At that time, she was unwilling to marry the first concubine, so she was angry and ran away from the palace. At that time, the camp on the outskirts of Beijing was still watched by my brother! โ
"Wow, then the princess is going to be a soldier? Mulan, huh? โ
"What Mulan, the princess grew up in fine clothes and food, how to live as soon as she leaves the palace?" Lin Yufu shook her head and said, "She was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, and she bumped into our camp on the outskirts of Beijing like a headless fly." As for my brother, he has never met the princess, and the princess refuses to tell her true identity. Just said that she was a poor girl who was forced to marry and then ran away from home, then my brother was moved by compassion and allowed her to disguise herself as a man and stay by his side as a small servant. โ
"Wowยทยทยทยทยทยท" Zhao Yuru opened her mouth wide and said: "This beginning is more exciting than the book!" โ
"After a long time, lonely men and widows will definitely produce something. It's just that my brother was already married at that time, and he was going to marry my sister-in-law in a month and a half. He is an upright person, so he has always kept this feeling in his heart. โ
"What about the princess?"
"The public director is reckless, and he has to be with my brother. Say what they can elope. My brother was actually moved, but at this time, the princess was recognized by me. โ
Lin Yufu recalled Zhao Yujing's stunned expression when she knew the identity of the eldest princess of Anguo, which was also funny.
"The later story is that the princess returned to the palace, and my brother married his sister-in-law. It's as if it never happened. To this day, the princess has not married for various reasons, and my brother is already married and has children, and lives a happy life! โ
Zhao Yuru spit out the melon seed skin in his mouth, thought for a while and said, "Then your brother and princess, have you slept?" โ
"Poof!" Lin Yufu squirted out a sip of tea.
"How do you ยทยทยทยทยทยท Why are you all over these things? She was a little speechless.
"Wow, don't you react so much. Isn't that a normal thing? Lonely men and widows, who have been together for so long, eat and live together, how can they not sleep together? โ
"My brother is not such a person! He was already married at that time! โ
"Maybe the princess is very open?" Zhao Yuru said matter-of-factly: "Looking at their appearance, I feel that they have slept!" โ
"You think everyone is like you!" Lin Yufu said angrily: "When you see a man, pounce up!" โ
Zhao Yuru listened, stood up abruptly and said, "Do you think I'm willing to pounce up?" I look like this now, can I do it if I don't pounce on it? If you don't pounce up, Zhuangyuanlang will run away a long time ago! Have you lived in my body for so long that you have forgotten what you look like? If I were the original skin, all men would pounce on me! โ
Lin Yufu was very annoyed when she heard this, but her mouth opened, but she couldn't say anything.
"Okay, I know you don't like what I do, but you have to know that I have no father or mother since I was a child, no one has ever disciplined me, how a girl should be reserved, how to hide her emotions. I've learned since I was a kid that you have to express what you like and fight for it so that you can be happy. Because if I'm not happy, no one will coax me! โ
Lin Yufu was silent, she looked at Zhao Yuru, not knowing what to say.
"I like Champion Lang, so I like to stick to him. I think to like someone is to stick to them all the time. That's why, I don't understand that you obviously like the prince, but you shout and kill him in your mouth. Probably in my heart, the people of any country are not as important as their own happiness! โ
Lin Yufu listened, sighed, and gently held her hand.
"I've been fat since I was a child, but I don't feel inferior at all, and I know that my mom and dad and brother gave me all the love. If I could do it all over again, I would still want their love, not this beautiful appearance. In the days when I was doing Lin Yufu, I knew that everyone was good to me, but I also knew that they were not really good to me. To be honest, I feel a little sorry for you. Because I can't learn to release my feelings. โ
The two men looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
"Okay, although I don't know what God is joking with us, but I'm actually quite happy to be able to live your life!" Zhao Yuru lowered his head and said: "Seriously, I also want to know, if I don't fall into the country and the city anymore, then will anyone still love me?" โ
Lin Yufu was silent.
"Oh, we're really, talking about other people's gossip, how can we talk about ourselves? Why didn't you tell me that you knew the eldest princess of Anguo! โ
"When I was a child, my mother would take me into the palace. I met at that time! Later, I often went to the harem. Of course, the eldest princess is the only one who sees me. โ
Zhao Yuru gnawed on the melon seeds, rolled his eyes and said, "Say you're miserable, you're really miserable." Looking at the celebrities in Beijing, only Xu Zhaoyi and Princess An Guo are good friends with you. But if you are lucky, you are really lucky, one is the future queen, and the other is the only eldest princess of Dayan. You make friends with such precision, admire! Admire! โ
Lin Yufu was amused by these words, she smiled and said: "It's really true to be said by you, in fact, I can't be considered a good friend with them, as long as you don't hate me, then you are my friend!" โ
Zhao Yuru pouted, sounding really pitiful.
The two of them sat there, speechless for a moment.
After a long time, Zhao Yuru said: "Then what are we going to do next?" โ
Lin Yufu shook his head and said, "I don't know, since I left the palace, I have been sitting here in a daze every day!" โ
"I'm not the same! If you don't go to find Zhuang Yuanlang, you will be arrested and sent to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for training. I'd rather sit here all day in a daze than go horseback riding and eating dirt! I'm telling you, I stuned a horse with a brass hammer today! Your strength is terrifying! โ
Lin Yufu smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and suddenly took the list as if she remembered something, and said, "I'll tell you a few people, they are all trustworthy henchmen." You let them keep an eye on the people on the list! โ
"Trustworthy?" Zhao Yuru looked at Lin Yufu with some suspicion and said, "Didn't you trust Vice General Yang at the beginning?" โ
Lin Yufu showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, but then said: "These people are all in the hands of me and my brother, you can trust them!" โ
"Well, then you tell me the names of those people, and I'll tell them later!"
Lin Yufu nodded.
"Okay, I still won't stay here, I'm hungry, and I still have the food cooked by your sister-in-law at home! I have to say that your sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good, and your brother didn't marry the wrong person! โ
Lin Yufu smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Actually, I asked my brother about him and the princess!" โ
"And then?" Zhao Yuru immediately asked.
"He told me to leave it alone!" Lin Yufu showed an innocent look and said, "So I don't know if something happened to him and the princess!" โ
Zhao Yuru listened, shook his head and said: "If this is put in the book, the princess will be pregnant with your brother's child, raised in the palace, and when the child is eighteen years old, he will go out of the palace to play with his mother, meet his father, and then involve a love and hatred of eighty times." โ
Lin Yufu finally couldn't help it and beckoned her fiercely to her head.
"You, can you think about something serious?"
Zhao Yuru covered her head, looked at Lin Yufu and said, "Don't let people think about it?" I'm going to go first, am I going to pick you up tomorrow? โ
"Tomorrow?" Lin Yufu paused, and then remembered that he was going to the Taishi Mansion tomorrow.
"Okay, let's go together, we have a sense of security in each other's hearts!"
"Gotcha!" Zhao Yuru pushed open the door and walked down the stairs leisurely.
"Mr. Zhao! Oh, head Zhao, you're leaving? When the old bustard saw her coming down, he hurriedly put it on with a smiling face.
"But no, I'm not leaving, what are you doing here?"
"The head of the sect is joking, if you stay here, the old body promises to let you have fun!"
Zhao Yuru heard the music, she put her arm around the old bustard's shoulder, pointed to this Qin Yunju and said, "This girl who is full of buildings, what fun can you give me?" I still went to the Xianggu Pavilion opposite to find a few small officials and had a good time. โ
The old bustard's face changed, and he said with a smile: "Head Zhao, do you still have this hobby?" โ
"Nope!" Zhao Yuru pushed the bustard, tidied up the clothes on his body and said, "I don't need to have fun!" โ
"Eh, yes, yes!" The old bustard nodded busily.
"Gone! Next time! Good wine served! Zhao Yuru waved his hand and left Qinyunju in a dashing manner.
The old bustard patted the clothes on his body, looked at Zhao Yuru's back, shook his head and said, "I thought he was an upright guy, but he turned out to be as immodest as Yufu!" โ
Xincha snorted melon seeds on the side and said, "Mom, I think that now we girls are much more serious!" โ
"Go! Why don't you pack up your things quickly, I'm going to the Taishi's Mansion tomorrow, but I can't let your girl lose face! โ
"Mom, don't worry, even if our girl doesn't do anything, her face is enough!" Shincha laughed and turned and walked upstairs.
And Zhao Yuru went home, handed the list to Zhao Yujing, and asked him to arrange for someone to keep an eye on it.
At the dinner table, the three of them were happy, but Zhao Yuru was full of thoughts about the story that Lin Yufu told her today. It doesn't even taste like food in your mouth.
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Yujing took a piece of meat and put it in her bowl.
"It's nothing, after listening to Liang Zhu's words today, I always feel that something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yujing didn't care.
"You said that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai eat and live together, can't you find out that Zhu Yingtai is a girl?"
Zhao Yujing smiled nonchalantly and said, "Maybe I found out a long time ago, but Liang Shanbo helped him keep it a secret." โ
"That's it! Then you say, they sleep together, lonely men and widows, why don't they ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Zhao Yuru thought for a while, and took into account that there were children on the table, so he said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm also too careful!" โ
But Zhao Yujing obviously heard her voice, he looked at Zhao Yuru, and said with some displeasure: "What are you thinking in your head?" โ
"I'm thinking about today's majestic and heroic posture!" Zhao Yuru rolled her eyes and said, "When is our wedding date?" I can't wait! โ
"You have to ask your father about this, it was originally scheduled for next month, but because the emperor is going to get married, the civil wedding can't be before the emperor, so you have to wait until the wedding is over!"
Zhao Yuru listened to it and was even more displeased!
"What, it's really arbitrary!"
"Little sister!" Zhao Yujing said solemnly: "What do you say? โ
Zhao Yuru stuck out her tongue, then looked around and said, "Why hasn't Dad come out to eat all the time?" โ
Zhao Yujing's face froze, and he said with a wry smile: "The battle armor is back, of course my father is there to watch the battle armor!" โ
"Oh!"
"Little sister!" Tian scooped up some food, put it in the food box, handed it to Zhao Yuru and said, "Please go and get it to your father, your body is important!" โ
Zhao Yuru looked at the food box, but he was actually a little resistant, after all, he was not very familiar with Zhao Guanming. But the rejection will seem even stranger.
"Good!" She took the food box and slowly walked towards Zhao Guanming's room.
Zhao Guanming sat there, facing the Linglong battle armor, silent.
"Daddy!" Zhao Yuru stepped forward, put the food box aside, and said softly: "It's time to eat!" โ
Zhao Guanming heard his daughter's voice, turned his head silently, smiled weakly and said, "Ru'er, have you sent food to your father?" โ
"Dad, I heard from my eldest brother that you didn't come out all night!"
"I didn't expect this armor to be back in my hands!" Zhao Guanming touched the armor, sighed and said, "Ru'er, kowtow to it." You can't survive without it! โ
Zhao Yuru didn't refute, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed steadily.
"Look here!" Zhao Guanming pointed to a sword mark on the battle armor and said, "If it goes deeper, it will cut your throat." โ
Zhao Yuru was stunned, she didn't expect it to be so dangerous at the beginning!
She trembled, reached out and touched the sword mark, and a memory immediately came to her mind.
It was similar to the scene she had seen in her dream, a sea of corpses and blood, she cried helplessly, but no one came to take her away.
A chill flashed before her eyes, and a moment later it slashed across her armor. A figure pounced and gripped the blade of the sword with both hands.
Blood dripped down her face, making her stop crying.
In front of her was a woman with a round face and two pear vortices when she smiled. She was covered in blood, but her smile didn't change in the slightest.
"Ru'er, go to sleep! When you wake up, Daddy will pick you up! โ
At that moment, Zhao Yuru fell to the ground and burst into tears.
"Mother?" She muttered to herself.
For so many years, she has never felt motherly love. But just now, in a moment, she suddenly understood what a beautiful thing it is to have her mother's love!
"Ru'er, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Guanming asked with concern, "Are you okay?" โ
"Daddy!" Zhao Yuru turned around, looked at Zhao Guanming's nervous expression, and suddenly burst into tears.
"My mother said, when I wake up, you will come to pick me up! Those were the last words she said! Father! I miss my mother, I want to have a mother! I really want to have a mother who loves me! She finally couldn't suppress her feelings, and cried in Zhao Guanming's arms.
Growing up, she thought she was living happily. But now she knows that being loved by her father and mother, and being able to be coquettish in their arms, is the greatest happiness!
Seeing his daughter, who had always been strong, suddenly crying bitterly, Zhao Guanming was at a loss for a while.
"Don't cry, kid!" He patted her on the back awkwardly and said, "You still have a father, a brother and a sister-in-law, we will always be with you!" Don't cry! โ
Zhao Yuru couldn't say what was uncomfortable, but she couldn't help her tears. Maybe it's her body that controls her emotions and makes her sad and unable to restrain herself.
After crying enough, the father and daughter silently opened the food box, took out a pot of wine inside, and drank it together.
Zhao Guanming also said a lot of interesting things about Zhao Yuru when she was a child, which made her laugh. Even in Qinyunju, she hadn't been so happy for a long time.
The two didn't disperse until late at night, and Zhao Yuru, who walked out of Zhao Guanming's room, was sincerely envious at the moment, and the days of having a family were so heartwarming!
On the second day, Zhao Guanming also let Zhao Yuru sleep for a while for the first time. By the time she woke up, both father and son had gone to the army.
Zhao Yuru stretched, sat on the edge of the bed, and rubbed his head.
Yesterday's drinking energy was really big, and it was completely different from the sweet rice wine I drank in the building.
"Miss, you're finally up!" Doroku walked in with a basin, and said as she walked, "It's three poles in the day, have you forgotten that you are going to the Taishifu to enjoy the flowers today?" โ
"That's right, cherry blossom viewing!" Zhao Yuru said a little tiredly: "These ladies have nothing to do, they are either enjoying flowers or playing the piano every day, which is really boring!" โ
"That's right, why don't we go to training!"
When Zhao Yuru heard this, he shook his head and said, "Then let's go and enjoy the flowers!" โ
The carriage went around to Qinyunju, and Lin Yufu was already dressed up and waiting here.
"Oops, it's rare to dress up well today, and it's no longer plain!" Zhao Yuru looked at the well-dressed Lin Yufu and expressed her satisfaction.
Lin Yufu said with some annoyance: "It's not your mother, she washed me up early in the morning, and said that she wanted to show her face in front of the future queen!" โ
Zhao Yuru listened to it and said with a smile: "Yes, it's her style!" โ
Lin Yufu shook her head a little uncomfortably, the earrings were so heavy that she couldn't feel comfortable.
"But you have to be careful, those celebrities and ladies in Beijing don't have a very good attitude towards you, a girl in the Qinglou!" Zhao Yuru said as she took a big bite of dim sum.
Lin Yufu didn't care, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Could it be that as Zhao Yuru, I have suffered less discrimination?" โ
The two were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.
