bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 221 Odu
The Yanqing Building was very lively.

In addition to the high-rise private rooms, there are never fewer diners in the downstairs floors of Yanqing. Although it is not as quiet and elegant as the private rooms, the advantage is that the taste is guaranteed and at the same time it does not need to spend as much money as the private rooms. It is also highly recommended by all gourmets.

"Father, look, this is a crystal cup sold by West Asia. It is made of ice seed mine. Try it!"

Xiaohongdou stuck the slightly icy crystal cup to the face of an old man mischievously, showing her canine teeth with a smile.

"Bullshit!"

As Gu Yunzhe said it, he wasn't angry at all, he just looked at his daughter's happy appearance at the table with some worry, feeling all kinds of feelings in his heart.

As previously agreed, about a week ago, Gu Yunzhe left his school class and traveled all the way from Bianzhou to Simeng, bringing his daughter some common food in Bianzhou's house so that she would not be too homesick.

Besides, the most important thing is that Gu Yunzhe misses his girl.

He only had this only daughter under his knees, but his wife left early.

If Gu Yunzhe was the only one, then he would open a school and live like this. Before he became an old fool, he would be satisfied with teaching a few more people to be sensible.

But there was also this daughter, which always worried him.

Watching the girl grow up day by day, the more lively and lively she became, Gu Yunzhe became more and more worried. Even though he was old enough to talk about marriage, he always looked down on those who came to matchmaking.

How can my own girl marry those rough people to be a cow or a horse?

But if it wasn't such an ordinary marriage in the frontier continent, it would be difficult for Gu Yunzhe himself to accept being a concubine with a state official or a nobleman.

After procrastinating like this, it is the year when my daughter Gu Anqi should get engaged. If she can't make a marriage decision, she is afraid that it will be a talent show. Two years ago, the gift-giving trustee slowed down again and again, and finally she couldn't avoid it.

"Mr. Gu, you can be content. If your girl is in Jingzong, she won't even be able to enter the palace!"

Others said so, but Gu Yunzhe couldn't listen.

According to the old rules of Simeng, it is impossible for a girl from a commoner family to be a court lady—that beautiful girl is not something that ordinary girls can do. Officials below the rank of lieutenant can send beautiful daughters to the palace.

At that time, Xiu Nu, even though she lived in poverty and desolation, was always a credit to her family.

It was only after Han Dongwen that he opened the door to beauties from all over Simeng. From folk drafts, he could enter the palace only by looking at his face and figure.

Fortunately, the old rules have not been completely abolished. At present, only the women of the official family and the famous clan can marry and get married if they are not selected by Han Dongwen, and the folk women cannot be so strict.

Therefore, Gu Yunzhe thought about whether to just marry the girl out like this for a few times, but don't say that his girl is not happy, who knows that the marriage that is said to be a door-to-door marriage can really give his girl a good life?
There is no other way, so I can only choose, and I have to go once.

If you are not selected, you don't need to be so anxious, and you don't need to rush to get married, everything will be fine.

But isn't the morals of the world just what to be afraid of?
Before entering the palace, Xiao Hongdou's face of crying and hating goodbye, her eyes reddened from crying, still appeared in front of Gu Yunzhe's eyes.

"Hey, Dad, this grape fruit is also from West Asia!"

But now, she arranges the table in front of her like a few treasures, brews a pot of tea and puts dried fruits on the table in a swift and solemn manner, and waits for the waiter in Yanqinglou to serve a few appetizers. Stance.

It's not that Gu Yunzhe brought things to his girl, but his girl came to open his eyes.

"There are no rules, it's a public place, how can you be so surprised all the time!"

Gu Yunzhe complained, but also looked at his girl with distress.

Xiao Hongdou stuck out her tongue, didn't dare to talk back, and said weakly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I can't get excited, your airs are bigger than your highness..."

Gu Yunzhe's ears straightened up.

Generally speaking, although it is not a good thing for a daughter to enter the palace, it is not that bad.

After the 25th or [-]th, she will naturally go out of the palace - becoming a concubine is something I dare not think about. In the past few years as a palace maid, I have always had monthly money, and I can also spend my own living capital. earn it.

If there is such fate, those who can get married after leaving the palace will have the monthly money saved by the maid as a dowry, and it will be easy to match matchmakers.

But the bad thing is that this is Han Dongwen's court lady, it might be fatal.

For countless days and nights, Gu Yunzhe couldn't help but worry about what would happen to Xiaohongdou under the emperor's hands.

Can't sleep at night, worried.

When Xiaohongdou was finally able to leave the palace for work, he rushed to Siyang. He wanted to see the girl, but he was hit in the head. The Yingchun Palace sent someone to tell him that Xiaohongdou was still recuperating in the Imperial Medical Building and needed to wait a little longer. a few days.

Imperial physician building, rest for a few days.

Gu Yunzhe's heart suddenly fell into the ice hole.

What's wrong with my daughter?
The people in the palace didn't talk to him any more, Gu Yunzhe could only walk around Siyang Street in a daze, finally he couldn't rest assured, he lived in a shop, and took the letter from Xiaohongdou to his family every day to the vicinity of Huajie I went to ask the soldiers and maids who came and went in and out of the palace, and finally waited for Xiao Hongdou who rushed out anxiously after a few days.

But the girl still has the mind to laugh like this, she really doesn't understand the worries of her parents.

"What's wrong with you and you want to go to the Imperial Medical Building to recuperate?"

Gu Yunzhe gently picked up the tea cup, pretending to be casual but looking at his daughter with great worry.

How did the emperor treat you so cruelly?

But his father couldn't ask. There always seemed to be such a barrier between father and daughter. He didn't know how to ask, let alone what kind of news he would hear.

Fortunately, Xiaohongdou still seems to be good at hands and feet, and her complexion is also very good - it's better to say that she has been working in the palace for such a period of time, and her living conditions are good, her whole person seems to be better than when she was in Bianzhou.

Gu Yunzhe didn't dare to think that way, it's too beautiful to be true.

"Yeah, I'm just a little tired."

Little Red Bean hesitated to prevaricate.

How do you tell daddy?
Said that he was fighting against the dignified captain for the sake of His Highness?
Or did he almost get beaten by the captain, blocked the imperial doctor in front of the palace gate, and saved the scene by His Highness covered in blood?

Don't say that she didn't intend to say it, even if she wanted to, this is something that Mi Niangniang has repeatedly instructed her to keep silent, maybe someone will stare at her father anytime soon.

"Oh, it's really nothing, don't worry about it."

Xiao Hongdou obediently took the bowl in front of her father, and filled him with a bowl of black-bone chicken soup with bamboo fungus that just came to the table: "Hurry up, I will pay for this meal with monthly money, and father will not steal it from me!"

Seeing the blood on his boots, Tan Taiming frowned slightly.

He raised his head, and in front of him was a knight in heavy silver armor. He was holding a long hammer in his hand. The armor on his body seemed to weigh a thousand catties, shining brightly under the white sunlight of the snowy field.

Under the attack of the weaving beast, this kind of iron bucket should have burst into pieces like a squeezed can and flowed out the meat paste, and then, like all the state religion knights seen before, under the numerical advantage of the frontier army Press down and run over.

Tan Taiming originally thought so, but the people in front of him didn't seem to be the group of three-legged cat knights he had seen before.

He is not dead now, but the weaving beast was injured, which is a good proof.

"Let me introduce myself again, the Knights of the West Asian Church, the leader of the Fourth Knights, Odu."

The iron barrel-like knight was tall and burly, with a sledgehammer in his hand: "Repent, step down, you can't beat me."

Tan Taiming's face was as cold as frost, he put his hands behind his back, his mind moved inadvertently, a gust of wind swept across the open space between the two of them.

"lb!"

There was a sudden sound like striking iron, and a few sparks shot out from the Aodu armor in front of him, but he didn't even take a step back.

"An invisible attack cannot be called a righteous chivalry."

His voice was heavy and confident coming from under the silver helmet, Tan Taiming smiled lightly, but clenched his teeth quietly.
