Qingchuan History

Chapter 887
It took another day and night from Zhaoyingbo to the farmhouse at the east foot of Dafengbao.

During this period, the car was silent, Ruan Xueyin didn't say a word, Gu Xinglang didn't want to talk, Ruan Zhong just closed his eyes and kept going.

"Everyone has come to this day, it is their own choice, the force of the current situation, it is the wheel of fate." Ruan Zhong said to Gu Xinglang when he stopped to rest once, and there was no one around, "There is no right or wrong, there is no need Too worrying. To be honest, Xueyin and you have done our best."

Gu Xinglang was silent for a while.

"Thank you." After a long while, he replied lightly and solemnly.

At noon, the team drove into Dafeng Castle and stopped at the place where Ruan Xueyin stopped a few days ago.

When she got out of the car, she remembered that the woman said that Gu Xinglei would go out with her this time, and she might not come back, so she made a prophecy.

And this exclamation was only for a moment.The melancholy from Zhaoyingbo was replaced by new anxiety: Even if everything is considered safe, after all, she is not with her daughter. Who can be sure whether this period of time will be long or short?
In fact, ever since Liu Chaochao was here, anxiety has followed like a shadow, and was suppressed by Gu Xinglang's affairs in the first half, and it had raised its head again before leaving Zhoushan.

She tried her best to hold on until now, she was about to see the child, or she might not see it, she couldn't hold it anymore, she walked quickly on the mountain for two steps, tripped and was stopped by Gu Xinglang in time to protect her.

"Look at Zhao Zhao later, mother is such a beautiful woman, she came to pick her up wearing a dirty dress, she will not like it, and wants to make trouble with you." He joked lightly, which was really comforting.

"It's not dirty." Ruan Xueyin looked down at Qunsha, absent-mindedly.Of course it wasn't dirty, and it didn't fall off at all.

Gu Xinglang let go of her waist and held her hand again. The cold palms of the past few days had already warmed up, and he warmed up silently, "You and I have gone through a catastrophe this time. Our daughter will only be healthy and safe."

Because of his words, Ruan Xueyin suddenly felt that the danger in Mianzhou and the life and death in Buzhou Mountain were all worthwhile, and they were blessings saved for her children.

"Let me take a look." Seeing that her expression was a little more relaxed, and there was still a gloomy cloud in her eyes, Gu Xinglang simply stopped.

"Ok?"

"Smile." He stood in front of her.

Ruan Xueyin tried, but couldn't laugh.

Gu Xinglang then stretched his hands to the corners of her lips on both sides, and lifted them up gently, "Mmm—" Yin and Yang said strangely, "It's uglier than crying. Later, I will tell Chao Chao that not only is my mother's skirt dirty, but she can't smile anymore. It's so disgusting, it's better to be daddy."

He has repeatedly said that what will happen to Zhao Chao later, there is no doubt that it will happen.But how could Zhao Chao say that?Not at the age of full expression at all.

Ruan Xueyin still pointed at his fingers and smiled softly.

"That's right, that's how I barely look better than Dad."

The two continued walking with the four guards, their pace was faster than before.

In the midsummer forest, the shades of green are like carefully blended ink colors.The daylight is blocked by the country's year-round grand clouds, bright and soft, floating among the green shadows.When the farmhouse appeared in full view, everyone subconsciously fell silent.

Then at the same time, they heard the silver bell-like laughter of a young child.

Floating in the afternoon breeze, the world is the best.

There are always wishes that can be fulfilled and precious ones that can be kept.These words rose in Ruan Xueyin's heart, and tears fell.

It was rare for Gu Xinglang not to turn his head to look at her, because his nose was also sore and his eye sockets became hot, so he unconsciously ran towards the door faster.

The previous guards are still in place.

Running happily in the small yard, looking back inadvertently, what I saw was my parents who were clearly distinguished but looked a little embarrassed.

She stopped on the spot and blinked.

I'm afraid Yunxi didn't know each other after a few days of separation, especially Jun Shang, who hurriedly called "Miss", and before she could finish the second sentence, Chao Chao ran over with her chubby legs and arms open:

"Daddy!"

Everyone thought she would call mother first.

Gu Xinglang was even more stunned. Only when his daughter was covered in his robes did he regain his senses, and hugged the child tightly, speechless for a long while.

"Mother!" But he heard Chao Chao yelling in his arms, beating him with two little hands, it was like playing with him.

Gu Xinglang relaxed a bit, looked at his daughter, "Don't you want to give up your father just now?"

Chao Chao couldn't answer anything at all, and he was all focused on Ruan Xueyin, staring at him and fluttering his little hands, ignoring him.

"Mother! Mother hug!"

Ruan Xueyin's face was full of tears and she patted Gu Xinglang, "Don't let go!"

The lost father had no choice but to let go.Seeing the mother and daughter embracing each other tightly, the picture was almost static for a long time, his heart was astringent and sweet again, with a strong sense of sweetness, he stretched out his arms and completely embraced one big one and one small one in his arms.

Yunxi's eyes were also moist, and at the same time, she was glad that the princess had called "father, mother and mother" since she started learning the language, instead of "father, monarch, mother and queen" - at that time, she wanted to get closer, but she didn't know that there would be a future blessing. On such an occasion today , so as not to expose the stuffing.

Sure enough, the woman's family didn't notice any difference, they only lamented that the "Master" in the mouth of the astonishingly beautiful lady was equally astonishingly beautiful.

"Young master is not bad." The woman murmured, and looked at her man with disgust.

Ruan Xueyin knew that time waited for no one, so she managed to break out of the airtight hugging circle, thanked the woman, and collected the money she had prepared earlier in the morning - it was not much, and it was not cashed at all. When he left, he said "there is a lot of money".

"Please forgive me. This time I came and went in a hurry, and I couldn't raise too much for a while, but I promised, I will definitely do it..."

Gu Xinglang listened from afar, and waved his hand towards Chao Chao with one hand, "Bring the pen and paper, IOU is the proof."

I saw that although the couple didn't dare to show it too obviously, their faces were full of joy.

Ruan Xueyin felt that she still lacked experience in dealing with the common people.

And this person is really old-fashioned, not like a young man in the royal family, let alone a high-ranking emperor.

The emperor's imperial pen wrote the IOU.

Although the two hostesses were illiterate, they were quite intimidated by the style of the brush.

"There is also medical treatment for the girl. There is also marriage." Seeing that the writing was almost finished, Ruan Xueyin added.

"You want to write this too?" Gu Xinglang looked up dissatisfied.

"I'm writing anyway." Ruan Xueyin muttered softly.

Gu Xinglang had no choice but to obey.

The peasant couple took the piece of paper, no matter how they held it, it felt heavy—it was the characters and the person who wrote them that were so precious?Or is there a lot of silver on this IOU?

The two exchanged glances again and again, but they didn't dare to ask, Yunxi saw, leaned over, pointed to the words on the paper and read them one by one, Youyou said emphatically, "One hundred taels of gold."

"How many?"

Yunxi didn't repeat herself, but only smiled sincerely: "Don't worry, my master and wife keep their promises, and they will never owe anyone money in their life."

The couple had already received the gold, and the couple dared not believe it. "Then may I ask Madam, Ah Niu—"

Ah Niu is Gu Xinglei, Ruan Xueyin had heard this name last time, but Gu Xinglang looked like a ghost.

"Oh, he's not coming back." Ruan Xueyin didn't think about saying anything.

"I met a beautiful girl, and I want to get married. I can't even persuade you." Gu Xinglang opened his mouth and came.

The woman was dumbfounded.

Ruan Xueyin was speechless.

"Did you know that they wanted to promise their girl to the third brother?" After going out, walking in the mountains, she blamed.

"I don't know." Gu Xinglang hugged Chao Chao and hummed.

"After all, he is the third brother's savior—"

"One hundred taels of gold, you can take care of the girl's illness and marriage, right?"

That's really nothing to fault. "We Chaochao are worth a hundred taels of gold?" Ruan Xueyin couldn't help but pick out a thorn.

Gu Xinglang lightly scratched the tip of his daughter's small nose, which made her giggle, and said briskly: "You give a thousand taels to such a family, and you will bring trouble for them. A hundred taels is just right."

In the middle of the waiting queue in the distance, outside the carriage, Ruan Zhong was standing and looking over here.

He couldn't help but lock his eyes on the child in Gu Xinglang's arms, and Ruan Xueyin's childhood face appeared in his mind.

I don't know if it looks like it, but it looks a bit like it.

Zhao Zhao's fair little face is gradually getting closer and clearer in the gap of memories and in the rose-colored mist.

When she was just born, everyone said she looked exactly like Gu Xinglang.

When she turns one month in January this year, she still looks seven points like her father and three points like her mother—in fact, her facial features are similar to her father's, but her face shape and charm are all her mother's. When talking, crying and laughing, she looks especially like Ruan Xueyin.

She is laughing now.

And in the past few months, even the facial features have become a bit motherly.

In Ruan Zhong's eyes, it was clearly Ruan Xueyin's infancy—of course he didn't remember it, but he could rewind it from when she was six or seven years old when he had memories—it was Chao Chao at this moment. .

He couldn't help laughing.

Such a young child always pays more attention to strangers, especially Ruan Zhong standing in the middle of the guards, tall and good-looking, he is clearly a person.

She opened her clear eyes without blinking.

Getting closer and closer, the more you see, the clearer you are.

Suddenly raised his little hand.

Others may not understand, but Gu Xinglang and Ruan Xueyin understand it at a glance as parents.

She is greeting Ruan Zhong.

Although my daughter is lively, it is the first time that she is so enthusiastic towards strangers, so Gu Xinglang asked subconsciously, "Know you?"

Of course I haven't seen it, even though they were in the old palace of Suoning last month, after all, they were in the same hall, far apart, and Ruan Xueyin kept it a secret.

Gu Xinglang thought it was weird, he secretly thought that Ruan Zhongsheng was really good-looking, but he should not be liked by little girls—because he was gloomy, he looked a little fierce.

Is it because of the smile?Still thinner, paler, calmer on the face, dispelling the gloom?

He doesn't think that no matter how you look at it, she still has the background of being ambitious in the past, but his daughter seems to hit it off right away!

"Call uncle."

Not only hit it off at first sight, but when he came to him, Ruan Zhong responded gently, and then said these words.

Chao Chao looked at his face, and after a while, said softly, "Uncle."

It is actually more clear than the word "daddy"!Will do it again!
Gu Xinglang immediately became heartbroken, looked at Ruan Zhong again, did he feel that this person was gentle, good-looking, exuding a certain kind of luster all over his body?
So much so that for the first time in 24 years, he doubted his appearance.When Ruan Xueyin got into the car with the child in her arms, Ruan Zhong followed. For the first time, he was not in a hurry, but turned around and asked Yunxi:

"Is there a mirror?" Quietly, looking like a thief.

"what?"

"Ah, what. If you have something, then forget it." He was very guilty, afraid of being heard by the people in the car.

"Back to your majesty, there is, there is. It is a small mirror of His Royal Highness, brought out of the palace, and this servant will go and get it!"

Half a moment later, Yunxi hid and tucked something into Gu Xinglang's hands.

Then he hid on the side of the road and carefully looked at his face in the small round mirror, from forehead to chin.

It's not as good as when you left the palace.

Is it like, not as good-looking as Ruan Zhong?
He has been exaggerated since he was a child, why did he ever worry about this face?It has never been in business, and it depends on God's rewards day after day.

Sure enough, there is no such thing as a good meal for a lifetime.

Ruan Xueyin waited and waited in the car, but no one came in, so she leaned out to ask.

"Return to Your Highness, Your Majesty is here, wiping your face."

"Didn't it be wiped in the morning?" She looked around suspiciously, but she saw Gu Xinglang secretly holding a handkerchief and fiddled with it.

The thief felt it, coughed, stopped and walked towards this end, calmly said, "I'm sweating, I don't feel refreshed, wipe it off."

Ruan Xueyin thought to herself, I didn't see you sweating, although it's summer, it's cool in the mountains.

"Well," he lifted his foot into the car, "where's your face-smearing bottles and jars? Probably because you've been traveling for a long time, and your face is very dry. Let me—"

Not finished yet.

Looking up, he saw Chao Chao sitting beside Ruan Zhong, the two of them were having a great time playing.

He coughed again.

How can a child understand this?

But Ruan Zhong heard it, turned his head and gave him a sideways glance, "Why is a big man wiping his face?" The brother-in-law was full of posture, and said to the outside:
"Everyone is ready, let's go!"
