royal girl

Chapter 239 The grace of saving lives
"... She said she was kind to him in saving his life. When he fell into the canal on a water transport boat and got an arrow in his back, it was this girl who saved his life."

When Mrs. Dong Er said this, her expression was very subtle, as if all the ups and downs were poured into a cup, and the taste was very strange.

"The person who can save my brother in the canal is either a young lady who comes out to play by boat, or a boatman's daughter who makes a living by the canal." It's normal to rely on mountains to eat mountains, farm and eat fields, and rely on rivers to eat rivers. matter.Huiyu estimated the look on Mrs. Dong's face, so the girl who saved her brother must be of low birth.

Although Mrs. Dong was used to her daughter's intelligence, she still took a look at her and couldn't help complaining, "You guessed it right, but the background is too low."

Can it be lower than the boat girl?Huiyu was also surprised now, and looked up at Mrs. Dong Er.

Sensing the questioning look in her daughter's eyes, she sighed and said, "This girl is indeed a boatman who lives on the canal. Besides, she lost her mother since she was a child, and she grew up eating a lot of food." He sighed again, and this breath was mixed with more things than before.

Huiyu was shocked. She didn't expect that this girl lost her parents when she was young, and she grew up eating a lot of food alone. It's really pitiful.Xu Huiyu came from modern times, and it doesn't seem that this time and space place so much importance on family status. Hearing the tone of Mrs. Dong's second wife, she was also hesitant about this matter, so she asked tentatively: "What does brother mean? "

"Your brother only said that the girl saved his life. If she hadn't tried her best to heal his wounds and take him to a safe place to hide, maybe he wouldn't be able to come back. And... and this The bastard actually made a promise to others without the consent of his parents and elders."

"Uh." Huiyu was really surprised. Dong Yunji, who grew up in the Duke's Mansion, would not have been educated to allow him to do such a thing.But he did it anyway, which means that the girl actually liked her brother a little bit. "Mother, did you ask what that girl looks like?" She must be pretty, otherwise her brother wouldn't have done such a thing. After all, there are many ways to repay him. Be bolder.

Mrs. Dong's expression became tangled again, "Your brother only said that his eyebrows and eyes are neat, because his skin color is slightly dark all the year round on the river, and...and he is very strong."

The neat eyebrows and eyes indicate that this girl looks like a normal person.She looks like an average person with a dark complexion, and she is very strong... Her brother's aesthetics are also a little too low-key.

Huiyu was embarrassed and didn't say a word.

"Then where is this girl now?" If you were in the south, it would not be easy to meet her, and it would take a month or two to go back and forth.If... If her brother brought her directly to the capital, the matter would be considered settled.Everyone has come, and she is a helpless orphan who has saved her brother's life. If she refuses this marriage, Dong Yunji will become a heartless person.I have to answer... I guess there will be more talking points in Kyoto during the New Year's Eve.

However, it's always good to meet people first.

"If my brother really likes her girl, as long as you have a good temperament, you might as well think about it." Huiyu said in a low voice. In the future, I can imagine the uneasy situation of the family.Huiyu didn't ask for anything else, she just hoped that the girl would be able to stand up, her morals would be decent, and it would be fine if she could support herself as the eldest daughter-in-law.

A girl whose family has been able to live on the canal for so many years without incident seems to be a person of some ability.

The second Mrs. Dong has been worrying about this matter for the past two days. Hearing what her daughter said, she complained: "Your brother is too courageous, and everyone has been brought to Beijing. I haven't I've seen it before, and I just want you to accompany me to meet." She really didn't want to see her alone, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back her anger and the girl would look at her.This girl saved her son, this love must be remembered.But to become a daughter-in-law is too much a test of determination.

"Okay, when you see someone, just send me a letter." Huiyu replied with a smile.

Sending away the resentful Mrs. Dong, Huiyu told Ji Qiyu about it in the evening, "...I don't know what my brother thinks, everyone has come to the capital, and my mother just misses this girl." After all, I have saved my brother's life, so I have to thank him. As for my brother's marriage, let's talk about it first." Mrs. Dong's biggest advantage is that she knows how to repay her kindness. It can be seen that she is entangled, the key is that her brother did not behave properly in this matter, and he was too hasty to rush the ducks to the shelves.

"Actually, I know about this." Ji Qiyu coughed lightly and said with a guilty conscience.

Huiyu was stunned, "You know?"

"The time you were injured, it was actually quite serious. I was afraid that you were not telling the truth when you were worried. He disappeared at that time, and the people I sent couldn't find him everywhere. And the people from King Ning's side were also looking for him. A person of King Anding. Under such circumstances, I will find him first and she will be safe, but if the enemy finds him first..." Ji Qiyu paused, "It was only later that I found out that the boat girl saved him, and at the risk of Danger dodged a few times and hid him in a safe place."

Ji Qiyu was able to hide the words a few times, and Huiyu could think of the critical situation at that time. She didn't expect that her brother's injury would be so dangerous.

Seeing that Huiyu didn't speak, Ji Qiyu also knew that he should have told her about it earlier, but later things happened one after another, and he forgot.Now that Huiyu asked, he felt inexplicably guilty.But he felt guilty about this matter because he didn't tell Huiyu the truth.It wasn't that he was guilty of the Dong family, but for the sake of An Huiyu's heart, he said: "After I found out about this, I asked someone to check on this girl."

Hui Yu glared at Ji Qiyu, she dared to hide such a big matter and not report it.

"How did the investigation go?" Hui Yu also knew that she was being unreasonable in getting angry, and Ji Qiyu specially checked the girl to make up for it, so she went down the steps.

Ji Qiyu was relieved when she heard Huiyu's accusation. Fortunately, she had the foresight to follow up with the compensation.

"This girl's surname is Ji, and her maiden name is Xiaocui..."

Ji Qiyu told Huiyu what she had found out in detail, and Huiyu listened with great enthusiasm.Ji Xiaocui...Because she lost her parents since she was a child, this girl has a very bold temperament. Anyway, she is born with great strength, and she won't suffer any losses in fighting with others. She is quite a famous figure on the canal.Although she was born darker, but this girl has a good reputation, she usually respects the old and cares for the young, and gets along well with the folks.During the holidays, many people like to ask her to go there to have fun, and this girl is very generous, and she often gives some of the seafood she calls to others.She is very good at fishing, and her harvest is [-]% more than others in the same boat...

Huiyu was dumbfounded by what she heard. It is indeed not bad that a girl without father and mother can grow up in such a complicated place by the canal with her natural supernatural power, and still have such a character.If he hadn't been kind-hearted, he wouldn't have risked his life to save her brother.

Listening to Ji Qiyu's description, Huiyu felt a little close to this Ji Xiaocui, and what she admired the most was a person who was self-reliant and free from complaints.Especially for a girl's family, it's really not easy.It's no problem for such a person to want to support a family.

It's just that the rules and etiquette should be learned carefully, but Ji Qiyu also said that this girl fishes [-]% more than others, so she is a smart person.Learning the rules and etiquette should not be troublesome, right?

Huiyu wrote a letter to Mrs. Dong Er about what Ji Qiyu had inquired about, and soon received a reply from Mrs. Dong, expressing that she wanted to see the girl in three days.But where to meet this girl is another problem, the Dingguo Mansion doesn't know about it, if they lead her in all at once, it may be useless.If it is arranged in Bei'an Hou's Mansion, it is inevitable that her mother's family will suppress her in-law's family, so she discussed with Huiyu, or it will be settled in Prince Jing's Mansion. If outsiders knew about it, they would only say that the older brother put the savior first with the younger sister, which is reasonable.

Huiyu discussed it with Ji Qiyu, and then readily agreed.

The matter Dong Yunji brought this time about the south side has not yet been quarreled with in court, and the matter of Lifu has to wait.It would be good to decide on this important matter in this spare time, so this matter was decided like this.

On that day, Huiyu invited Mrs. Dong over early. Prince Jing was waiting for Dong Yunji in the front yard. quite an important person.

"Here we are, we've already entered the gate." Xueying lifted the curtain and came in to report, "Nurse You and Concubine Yang have been taken care of in the mansion, there won't be any girls who pop up out of nowhere." Just in case someone might be curious I want to find out some news or something. This matter cannot be spread outside the Dong family's second room until they reach a unity.
