Chapter 152 Du Ruo goes to find it herself
Du Ruo was left speechless by Lu Lingyun's retort.
She listened to Lu Lingyun's words in disbelief. After a while, she said with a sense of grievance and reluctance, "But who did they introduce me to?"
When Lu Lingyun heard this, he sneered in his heart.
She knew that Du Ruo didn't resent anyone for controlling her marriage or arranging her life.
She was just dissatisfied with the marriage partners that people introduced to her.
She looked down on those people because of their low birth.
If she were introduced to some only sons of the Guanglu Temple family, or even more wealthy families, she would agree reluctantly.
From the beginning to the end, Du Ruo clearly understood everything but pretended to be ignorant. She relied on her usual temper to make others accommodate her again and again, guess her thoughts, and worship and flatter her.
She enjoyed the process.
Lu Lingyun was not used to her either. "Miss Aruo, what kind of family do you think you can match?"
Du Ruo, whose first mask was exposed, pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved. "Look at what my aunt introduced me to! One is old, one is a cripple, and one wants me to be someone's retinue! I'm only fourteen this year, how can I be someone's retinue? And I have to take care of two children. Everyone knows that being a retinue is the worst thing..."
What are these people thinking!
Isn't this a clear sign of looking down on her?
If she had been given a group of good families, she wouldn't have been so angry.
The bottom line is that they are not good! They don't find a good one for her!
This is what Du Ruo thought in her heart.
"Miss Aruo, I'm asking you, what kind of family do you think you can match with?" Lu Lingyun asked again.
After saying this, Du Ruo stopped chattering.
She looked at Lu Lingyun in front of her.
Lu Lingyun looked straight at her with calm eyes. "Your parents are both dead, and you only have two brothers. Your brothers haven't even married their sisters-in-law, and their official positions are no higher than Jinwuwei. You want to marry into a higher position, but won't those wealthy families consider your family background? What kind of help can your family bring to your future husband's family so that they will look up to you?"
Du Ruo stopped talking.
"Besides, if you are a good match for your family, then people will consider your character and personality. Miss Aruo, think about it yourself. How many people who are a good match for your family are satisfied with you?"
Du Ruo frowned at this time and wanted to refute, but finally endured it.
"Finally, you said that your aunt and Lady Wang carefully selected three families for you. There are obvious shortcomings in these three families, but you can see for yourself. Among these three families, the Kyoto garrison's Hundred Cavalry Commander Xu is the age Big, but his family background is clean, so you don’t need to ask for help if you marry him. Dealing with complicated family relationships; the second son of leader Liu, the guard of the East City Gate, has a leg disease, but his family has paved the way for him, and the whole family will help you two. Finally, Yu Weiwei of the Royal Forest Army married a second wife, but he had The family has a promising future and is said to be in good shape.”
"Didn't they carefully select these three families for you? Who is harming you?"
Every word pierced Du Ruo's heart, leaving her without even a hint of defence.
What Lu Lingyun said made sense. Lu Lingyun wanted her to see clearly her own importance.
But, but, she just couldn't accept it! She couldn't reconcile!
How could she be as unbearable as Lu Lingyun said?
It is obvious that she has been pursued and loved by a lot of men since she was a child.
Her brother's colleagues, the Jinwu Guards, all of them treat her like a treasure!
Thinking of this, Du Ruo raised his head and said, "I don't need you to look for it, I will find it myself!"
Lu Lingyun raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Du Ruo continued, "I have plenty of people to choose from. I don't need you to be so 'kind' as to choose for me!"
She emphasized on the word "kind", and her eyes were rekindled with a bright light and a look of regret for making all of them suffer.
Oh!
If she really wanted to get married, she could choose any of the men who had supported her before.
She would go find one right away, any one of them would be better than the one any of them introduced to her, and then she would slap them in the face and tell them how dare they look down on her!
When Lu Lingyun met Du Ruo's confident eyes, she already had some idea in her heart.
She guessed what Du Ruo was thinking.
"If Miss Aruo can find it by herself, that would be great, but how long will it take?"
"I'll find it tomorrow!"
Lu Lingyun smiled, "What do you need me to do?"
"No need for anything, just wait and see!" Du Ruo's eyes were full of hope for Lu Lingyun.
"good."
the next day.
Cheng Yunshuo was about to go out, and Du Ruo followed him.
She told Cheng Yunshuo that she was going to the Duwei Mansion to visit her brothers today and let them see her recent changes.
Cheng Yunshuo was very surprised to see Du Ruo's demeanor change drastically today.
Today, Du Ruo not only wore women's clothes properly, but also wore a beautiful hairpin on her hair and put on makeup on her face.
Xiaoqin did all her makeup and hair accessories for her.
Lu Lingyun was very generous and gave Du Ruo a lot of jewelry and rouge and powder.
Of course, the jewellery given to Du Ruo were all of concubine's level, and the excess in the treasury were kept aside for Lu Lingyun to reward others.
Not very expensive.
But her appearance still surprised Cheng Yunshuo.
"Your brothers will surely be happy to see you like this."
"Huh, that's it." Du Ruo raised his head and got on the carriage.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the Duwei Mansion.
Today, Cheng Yunshuo received a document issued by the Yu Lin Army. He was busy, so after arriving at the Duwei Mansion, he went to deal with his own affairs.
Du Ruo did not pester her. Since Du Ruo came to the Duwei Mansion all year round, Cheng Yunshuo was confident that she could walk alone, so he let her walk by herself.
After Du Ruo separated from Cheng Yunshuo, they soon encountered a large group of Jinwu Guards.
Everyone was surprised to see Du Ruo dressed up in a new look after not seeing him for a long time.
“Isn’t this our Aruo?”
"Aruo has changed so much now! I can hardly recognize her!"
"That's right, I just saw a slim girl from a distance, and I thought she was some rich girl who came to our Duwei Mansion!"
"Aru, you look so beautiful like this!"
Familiar compliments rang out.
Du Ruo felt a sense of relief in her heart, and all the grievances and blows she had suffered in the past few days disappeared at this moment.
Humph, you say no one wants her, but there are plenty of people who want her!
Du Ruo scanned the large circle of Jinwu Guards around him and his eyes fell on one of them.
"Brother Kun, I remember your father was the general of Datong Town in the northwest?"
A young man named by Du Ruo stood up with a smile and said, "Yes."
His name was Wei Kun. His father was the commander-in-chief of Datong, an important town on the northwestern frontier, and a general of the third rank.
His father was guarding the border in another town, and he was placed in the Jinwu Guard to live out his days.
