little wife

Chapter 54

When they arrived at Taiqing Temple, the two kowtowed in the Sansheng Temple and prayed for their families, and then went up all the way to the small building where Taoist Qingxu lived.However, the small road in front of the door stopped them, Ji Li said: "The Lord of the Temple has gone to travel after the New Year's Eve, and I'm afraid he won't return until the beginning of summer, please forgive me."

Jing Yun held back his words and wanted to ask, so he had to put it in his stomach again. Fortunately, this place is too quiet and elegant, and there are many authentic calligraphy left by celebrities from the previous dynasty. He led Ning Luo to watch it all the way, but he didn't feel that boring.

Lunch was served at the vegetarian restaurant in the temple. The Taoist master Mingzheng also recognized Ning Luo and came over to greet him enthusiastically. The two of them lingered in the Taiqing temple until Chenshi, when a guard came to report that Yu Fengdong and his party were almost at the foot of Taiqing mountain. Only then did they reluctantly leave.

Yu Fengdong was relegated to the northwest, and he was due to take up his post in early April. It was a long way to go. As a civil servant, he took his family with him. It would take half a month to travel day and night, so he dismissed his servants early and brought a few Loyal old servant, the whole family traveled easily, so they went to Luping City to take up their duties.

Jing Yun and Ning Luo waited in the pavilion by the side of the road, watching the group of people getting closer and closer. The third-rank officials who used to be full of guests now only have two simple small carriages.

Ning Luo felt sore when she saw it, and couldn't bear it any longer. She walked out of the pavilion and waved her hand at the carriage: "Huiyao! I'm here, Huiyao!"

The carriage stopped slowly, and Yu Huiyao poked her head out of the carriage, looking at Ning Luo, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Ning Luo stuffed the package she had prepared long ago into her arms, and said with a choked voice, "You can take these and use them. If there is anything to do, send a letter to my grandfather's shop in Luping City. They will Try to send me a letter."

Yu Huiyao raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said with a smile, "Why are you crying? We usually look forward to walking around more, instead of being trapped in the square inch of the back house. Now it's half round. a wish."

Ning Luo hesitated to speak, and finally said after a while: "Then...Xu Guanliang...has...found me..."

Yu Huiyao smiled mockingly: "He also came to see me, saying that he had come up with an idea to let me enter the mansion to be his concubine, and then he would try to find a way not to marry a regular wife, and slowly set me up."

Ning Luo was too shocked to speak: "What kind of bad idea is this!"

"He is such a person. He has soft ears, no idea of ​​his own, and will only be manipulated by others. In the past, my family valued his honesty and sincerity, but I didn't expect that this was also his fatal injury." Yu Huiyao's expression was indifferent, "In less than half a year, he will be hugging his lovely wife and live a happy life. Occasionally he can think of me in his mind, that means he is deeply affectionate."

"That's fine too," Ning Luo gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "Just cut it off like this, that soft-legged shrimp is not good enough for you."

Yu Huiyao nodded, and smiled sweetly: "That's right, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world. Don't just talk about me, how about you?"

She looked at Ning Luo carefully, and saw that she was plump and radiant, with a hint of spring in her brows, so she felt relieved and said: "It seems that the son treats you very well, so I can rest assured. Before Chenggen comes down to the emperor, you and your son must be careful not to let the wicked have an opportunity to take advantage of you."

Ning Luo looked sweetly at Jing Yun. Jing Yun was talking with Yu Fengdong, but his eyes looked in the direction of the capital from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Fengdong expressed his thanks again. Just as he was about to get into the carriage, there was a rush of horseshoes on the official road, and someone galloped towards here.

The man was riding a bay red horse, obviously not good at riding, and he was in a mess on the horseback. When he arrived in front of the carriage, he almost rolled off the horse and came to Yu Huiyao limping in front of him. Zou Zelin Zou great talent.

Ning Luo was stunned: "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" Zou Zelin asked back.

Jing Yun let out a long breath, and pulled Ning Luo aside.

Yu Huiyao was also a little puzzled, thought for a while and smiled and said, "You came to see if I tore up the repentance letter, right? Don't worry, I tore it up a long time ago, and you will definitely not lose your reputation as a talented Zou."

Zou Zelin didn't speak, but just looked at her fixedly, his eyes were full of obscurity.After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I was the one who talked nonsense in the restaurant that day, so that I was taken to talk about it and ruined your reputation."

Yu Huiyao smiled: "I still think it's something, don't take it to heart, even if you don't say it, someone with a heart can fabricate hundreds of rumors out of thin air."

But Zou Zelin didn't respond, turned around and bowed deeply to Yu Fengdong: "Master Yu's journey is far away, I shouldn't have delayed it, but these days I can't sleep all night and think a lot, today I suddenly got Bodhi empowerment and came here in a hurry , Lord Wanwangyu don't despise my sincerity."

Yu Fengdong was a little puzzled, he and Zou Zelin had never had friendship, and on weekdays they even kept a respectful distance from this arrogant son of an aristocratic family and upstart in court.The recent prison disaster has made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he doesn't want to repeat the words of his colleagues in his stomach like before, trying to speculate on the true meaning hidden in the words and deeds of the other party. He politely cupped his hands and said: "Zou Your Excellency, you are welcome, I am now being demoted, it is my honor to be able to come to see you off, Master Zou, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, we..."

"There will be a period later" before he could say it, Zou Zelin cut off his words: "Master Yu, I sincerely ask Huiyao to marry me, and I hope you will agree."

It was as if there was a thunder on the ground, and everyone was dumbfounded.

After a while, Yu Fengdong regained his sanity, annoyed and annoyed: "Master Zou, are you making fun of our father and daughter? Your Zou family is a noble family, and we can't afford it." As he spoke, he said He dragged his daughter and left.

With a "plop", Zou Zelin knelt down: "Uncle, my nephew must never dare to joke about this matter. If I am not sincere, I will be struck by lightning and never be reborn forever!"

Yu Fengdong stopped in his footsteps, looked at this arrogant genius who was well-known in the capital in astonishment, and shook his head after a while and said: "I don't believe your family will agree to this marriage."

"My marriage is up to me. It's fine if they agree. If they don't agree, I won't go back. I'll rent a small house in the city to live my life. As long as Huiyao doesn't dislike it, that's fine," Zou Zelin frowned. No wrinkle, "It's a long way to go to the northwest. In the northwest, there is a lack of supplies and yellow sand covering the face. How can uncle have the heart to let Huiyao suffer like this? Please rest assured, uncle, if Huiyao marries me, Yuan Xi and I will be happy." Madam can be a witness for me, and I will definitely treat her like a jewel."

Looking at his sincere eyes, Yu Fengdong felt a little bit moved. The Zou family's family background, even in the past, was Yu Huiyao's high-ranking, but at the moment of desperation, it is not an exaggeration to be a regular wife. If she can find support for her daughter , why bother to travel thousands of miles to the northwest to suffer?

He looked at Yu Huiyao and asked hesitantly, "Huiyao..."

Yu Huiyao looked at Zou Zelin with momentary blankness in her eyes.Just a moment later, the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile, and her voice was brisk: "Young Master Zou is really chivalrous, but if you want to marry a wife because of those unfounded rumors, I'm afraid you will be too busy one after another from now on. I'm fine now, I don't need you to help me in this way, let alone feel sorry for me, Mr. Zou, please go back."

"No, Huiyao, I didn't want to marry you to help you, and I didn't want to marry you because of the rumors that I felt sorry for you." Zou Zelin was a little anxious, "I liked you from the beginning, just because..."

"Young Master Zou was joking," Yu Huiyao said with a cold expression, "You and I have never met before, did you fall in love with me after losing a game of chess? This love comes too easily, please forgive me for not agreeing, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, You and I will meet again in the future."

She turned around and helped Yu Fengdong into the carriage.

With the sound of "drive", the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage swayed forward.

Zou Zelin chased after two steps, and shouted sharply: "Yu Huiyao, why are you so unwilling to believe me? It's in vain that you are sharp in your moves and erratic in your moves, but you are also such a boudoir girl who is afraid of making mistakes!"

Yu Huiyao's fingertips tightly grasped the carriage, she clenched her teeth tightly and did not say a word, but the teardrops swirled in her eyes, and finally she couldn't bear the weight and slid down her face.

The carriage gradually drifted away and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Looking at the distraught Zou Zelin, Jing Yun sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Zelin, since she's gone, forget it."

Zou Zelin stayed for a while, got on his horse, and rode towards the capital without looking back, leaving only his clear voice in the air: "Okay, since she doesn't believe me, then I'll let her take a good look, I Did what I said just now come from the bottom of my heart, from my heart!"
