Poor children

Chapter 307 Riding hundreds of miles into Qilin Village

一
Riding a horse and running wildly all the way, the poor girl's mind was in a mess, and she came to Qilin Village without knowing it. The boy on the sentry post in the distance saw her, hurriedly ran down from the turret, and ordered someone to open the door to greet her. came out, but by chance the poor boy also came near.
The boy hurriedly grabbed the reins and said, "Third Master, why is it you?" He glanced behind him again, but he didn't see anyone following him. "It looks like it's getting dark right now, but there's no one following you. It's so dangerous."

The pauper just sat on the horse and said nothing, letting the boy pull the horse and lead her into the village.

There are boys with quick legs who have already run in to report. When the poor boy came in, Wuer and Zhang Yuhua also came out to welcome him.
The four of them were about to have dinner. When they heard that Pao'er suddenly came here alone, Wu'er felt that something was wrong and came all the way over. When she saw her sitting on the horse, she was even more worried.
"Master, Master..." Wu'er hurriedly ran over and took Pao'er's hand. He felt that the hands were cold. He looked at her with blank eyes and suddenly panicked in his heart. "Master, come down first." Wu'er hurriedly went with Zhang Yuhua. Help her to dismount
"Oh, why did I come here?" When she saw Wu'er, Qian'er realized that she had arrived at Qilin Village. She originally just wanted to go out and relax.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Zhang Yuhua has never seen such a poor child.

"It's okay, it's okay." Pao'er looked at Zhang Yuhua, "The water here nourishes people. Look, you are a lot more hydrated."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yuhua blushed instantly.

Pao'er turned to look at Wu'er again, "Is there something going on in your stomach again?"

"I had wanted to write a letter for a long time, but the snow was heavy this winter, so I was delayed. It has been so heavy in a few months." Wu'er saw that she had recovered a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Master must be hungry." , come and have a meal.”

The poor boy was supported by the two of them and went to the meeting hall. He saw that the first master and the second master were already waiting outside the door.
"It's still cold today, why did you come here alone? Where is the waiter?" the head master asked while letting her into the room.

"I didn't expect to run so far. Who knew that when I came to my senses, I would already be here?" Pao'er smiled lightly, but he couldn't tell that he was happy.
Several people looked at each other and said nothing. If she really wanted to say something, she would naturally say it, otherwise no one would be able to ask.
"Let's eat." The second boss just pulled her to sit on a chair and kept picking up food for her. The poor girl then ate obediently.
"It can be said that the master came unexpectedly and didn't prepare anything good to eat. I saw that the master came empty-handed and didn't bring a change of clothes. If the master wants to stay for a long time, I can order someone to go to the palace to get them." Wu'er asked tentatively
Pao'er raised his head and looked at her. In the past few years, she had only reported good news to Wu'er but not bad news. Naturally, she didn't know that she was now living in the Regent's Palace. I'm afraid the palace was in chaos now because of her departure.

"I've been living in my parents' house for a while. If I need someone to pick it up, I can go to the house and ask the third lady to pick it up," said the pauper.

"Why did you go back to your parents' house so well?" Wu'er muttered in a low voice.
But Pao'er raised his eyes to look at Zhang Yuhua. Although she looked careless, she was actually very thoughtful. She had lived in this mountain for several years, and she obviously didn't reveal much about her to Wu'er.

After eating, the poor boy just said he was tired and didn't ask them to accompany him, so he went to rest.

"Why do I see that the queen's sister has something on my mind?" The second master pushed the charcoal stove to Wuer's side, "Did you see it?"

"Since you can see it, how can anyone not see it?" Wu'er said, "It's just that she won't tell, so no one can ask, so just stay with her." The headmaster sighed and stood up. "It's getting late, go back and rest soon."

The four people in the hall all stood up and went back to their rooms.
Before the third watch, the three guards from the Regent's Palace suddenly arrived.
He came in secret, and no one else knew about it except the head of the family.

"If the three guards come here to assassinate me, I'm afraid I'll be dead." The headmaster lit the candle on the table in his room, asked the three guards to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea.
"How can I assassinate the great master?" The three guards sat down and drank tea.

"Are you here because of the queen?" The master could naturally guess that he wouldn't do anything ordinary.

"In the morning, the girl left in a hurry and didn't tell her family where she went. My wife was in a hurry, and the prince was even more anxious. My legs and feet were convenient, so they asked me to come out to look for her. Knowing that she was here, the prince could rest assured." The third guard Speaking of
"Why did she suddenly run up the mountain?" At some point, Zhang Yuhua had already entered the door.
"Miss Yuhua," the three guards got busy to greet her. "This item seems to be taken care of very well by the headmaster on the mountain." The three guards saw that her face was rosy, her skin was much whiter, and she was more charming than before. demeanor

"Why is he taking care of me? It's obviously me who is taking care of him." She was a little embarrassed when the three guards said something that was on her mind.

"It's in the middle of the night, the wind is so cold, why are you here?" The head of the family hurriedly poured another cup of tea for her
"I was in the room and vaguely heard something different in the wind, so I came out to take a look, and saw the lights in your room were on. I guessed that there were guests." Zhang Yuhua also sat down at the table and said to the three guards. He said, "I occasionally receive some news about matters in Beijing, but my aunt Wu'er and my wife have bad tempers, so I keep it in my heart. Let me ask you, what kind of grievances have you suffered this time?"

"I am a servant and cannot say anything about the master. If the master wants to say something, she will naturally say it. Don't ask me, girl. Since I know the master is here, I will say goodbye and go back to my life." After saying this, the three guards stood up and walked out. The door of the room disappeared into the night as soon as he jumped.
Seeing the three guards leaving, the headmaster looked at Zhang Yuhua with great interest, "You seem to be hiding many things from me."

"She doesn't want you to know about the Queen's affairs, so naturally I can't tell you. I don't want to hide it from you," Zhang Yuhua explained.

"If you don't want to hide it, just tell me," the boss said
"If you want to know, you can ask yourself. Isn't your sister here right now?" Zhang Yuhua ignored her and turned around and walked out of the house.
The headmaster hurriedly turned around and took his cloak and put it on her shoulders. "You go out at night and don't know how to put on extra clothes. You deserve to catch a cold again."

Zhang Yuhua said nothing, put on a cloak that was so long that it touched the floor, and walked back to his house.

Separated from him by a wall is the pauper's yard. Even at midnight, the lights in the pauper's room are still on.
Zhang Yuhua stood outside the ajar door and thought for a long time, and finally opened the door and walked in. The door of the poor child's room was closed, but her figure was reflected on the window lattice, making her look particularly lonely.
Zhang Yuhua gently patted the door of the pauper's room and said, "It's me."

"Yuhua," Pao'er said, "Are you still not asleep? Come in."

Zhang Yuhua then pushed open the door of the pauper's room and walked into the house. He saw the pauper sitting at the small table on the kang, leaning on the window sill with his elbow in a daze.
