Fast Travel: The Mountains and the Seas Are Allies

Chapter 133 I'll Raise You (27)

Next, even if the four people who were favored by the Dao of Heaven gathered together, Du Ruo's spirit was not aroused in the slightest, and he was in a trance until he left.

Fourth Master was really happy to see him, he drank a few glasses of wine, and rested when he returned to the East Palace.

Anxious, Li An hurried to the dining room to wake up the soup.

Du Ruo sat under the pavilion, looking at the red walls and gold tiles, at the blue sky with light clouds, at the yellow osmanthus and green chrysanthemums... she felt her heart becoming increasingly empty.

"Master Du? What do you say? It's windy and cold in autumn! Why are you sitting in the pavilion without wearing a cloak?" Kong Lan was talking, when she saw the fragrant winter plum with her sleeves up The cloak entered the pavilion, waited for Du Ruo to put it on, and then stood aside with downcast eyes, and she could only stop talking embarrassingly.

Seeing that Du Ruo didn't respond to her intentions, Kong Lan turned his back on Du Ruo and gave the sleeveless a hard look.

"The servant kowtowed to Master Du."

Du Ruo looked at Liu Wuyong outside the pavilion, and knew that this was the matter that he was asked to investigate, but she was really not in the mood to listen to the story at the moment, so she just waved and said: "You can do what you want. "

Liu Wuyong paused, he had already prepared the draft before coming here, and he had already thought about how to make the report from the beginning to the end. It was a waste of effort, but he didn't dare to think too much. He bowed and saluted, then stepped forward and twisted Kong Lan's arm to escort him out.

"Master Du! Master!"

Liu Wuyong slashed Kong Lan's neck with a knife, and knelt down to plead guilty when he saw the man fainted.

Du Ruo waved his hand, and waved him down without saying anything.

"Master, it's getting dark."

Only then did Du Ruo realize that there was only a glimmer of afterglow left at the west end. Did she just sit there all afternoon?

"Master, if you have something on your mind, why not talk to His Highness?"

Du Ruo sighed.

What should she say?
What I want is a couple for the rest of my life, can you afford it?
Or, do you love me or not?

It felt awkward even thinking about it, but she really couldn't say it.

"The servant knocks on His Highness."

"Grandfather is awake?"

"Why sit outside and enjoy the wind?"

Du Ruo looked at Fourth Master Mao and wanted to ask, but couldn't open his mouth.

Fourth master waited for a long time before sighing and saying, "You all go down." Then he hugged him into his arms and said:

"Thinking about the days of the Qing Dynasty now, it seems like a world away. The faces of too many old people are already blurred. I never thought that I would have this opportunity. Look at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, courts, rivers and lakes. Whether it's treacherous plots or power struggles... Forget it, from now on, just the two of us will guard it, okay?"

Du Ruo couldn't help but buried his face in Fourth Master Mao's arms and burst into tears.

Fourth Master smiled and rubbed Du Ruo's head: "This peace of mind is already in my arms."

"Hold the hand of the son, and live with the son forever."

The next day, Du Ruo changed his melancholy from yesterday and got up early in the morning. When he saw Liu Wuyong, he called someone to his side: "What happened to Kong Lan? Have you found out everything? "

Liu Wuyong was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the preparations made the day before yesterday would be useful one day, but after yesterday, he no longer dared to think about 'storytelling', so he hurriedly replied: "Returning to Master Du, I will check everything out. Oh, it was the Shen family who did it. The Shen family bought Kong Lan's younger sister as a hostage, and asked her to separate you from His Highness.

You don't know that Kong Lan's biological mother died young, and her father remarried. The stepmother gave birth to her three younger brothers in just five years. The son Pan was so mad that he only had two girls in ten years. Old man Kong was overjoyed, and all the family affairs were left to Kong Lan's stepmother.

That stepmother was not a good person at all, and she was kind to Kong Lan and sisters at first, but since she gave birth to her first son, she secretly treated Kong Lan and sisters harshly. Covering it up, she obviously lives in the courtyard with two entrances, and there are servants at home, but she feeds her sisters one meal a day, and asks them to work all day, so they get up earlier than chickens, Go to bed later than a dog!That's it, if the day's work is not finished and there is no food, the two hungry girls are skinny and thinner than her groom's girl!

The neighbors said that Kong Lan's younger sister, Kong Ju, was very sensible since she was a child. When she was five or six years old, she went to the river to wash clothes with a basin that she couldn't wrap her arms around. It would be pitiful for others to see her hungry. She doesn't want her pancakes for nothing, she is good-looking, sweet-mouthed, and makes people's hearts ache. It is to save more than half of it for Kong Lan.

Speaking of Kong Ju, the neighbors didn't say anything bad. I don't know how many people regret that the girl was born in that Kong's family!
It's just that all kinds of goodness have attracted wolves.

In their town there was a member of the Shen family, who was in his fifties and notoriously lustful, so he fell in love with Kong Ju, and wanted to buy Kong Ju to be his No. 17 concubine. Only then did he give up his lover who was about to get married, and sold himself into the palace. With a few words of deterrence, old man Kong and her stepmother did not dare to do anything, and every month they sent back Yueli without any difference. Add a sweet jujube to keep Kong Ju.

I don't know how the Shen family inquired about it, they found out about Kong Lan's family, and purposely bought Kong Ju by force with their identity, that's why..."

"I see." Du Ruo waved his hand, then took out a pouch from his sleeve and handed it to him: "Thank you, I heard that you like snuff before, I got it by accident, and I don't need it, so I will give it to you !"

"Thank you, Master Du, for the reward!" Liu Wuyong was instantly happy to see his teeth but not his eyes. He didn't care about the snuff, but he cared about Du Ruo. Now Mandong Palace is afraid that there is no one who doesn't know His Highness's thoughts about this master. , and he actually received the first reward given by Master Du since he entered the East Palace. If Li An knew about it, he would definitely die of anger!What's the use of hanging around Master Du whenever he has free time all day, being annoying like flies?It's not that he got it!
Here Liu Wuyong just entered the study, Du Ruo also picked up the materials in his hands, spread them out in the yard, and started cutting them.

"Yu Yi met Miss Du."

Du Ruo suddenly raised his head when he heard the familiar name, and what caught his eyes was a familiar face: "So it's Mr. Li, but isn't Mr. Li's name Chengru? Why do you call yourself Yu Yi?"

"Yu Yi is the word I picked up myself."

"I don't know where it came from?"

"Taken from farming more than three."

"Good words, if the common people have a surplus of food in every household, it will be a great fortune for the country."

"It's true what the girl said."

"Mr. Li is serious, so don't delay Mr. Li's business."
