Chapter 149 Peacock Spreads Its Tail
"Let's go down the mountain first. If there is another earthquake, it will be unsafe." The secret guard appeared from nowhere.
Xu nodded: "Chao Chao, don't be afraid."
Chao Chao lay on Xu's shoulder, his eyes fixed on the Chaomu Stone.
This world is still the same world as before.
She never left.
No wonder she could hear the sound of the wind and understand the whispers of the trees. This was the return of salvation given to her by all things.
Lu Chaochao felt warm in her heart.
Xu paused slightly: "Did you hear any sound?" Xu stopped and looked around.
There were thorns on both sides of the road, and dense vegetation blocked the view.
I can't see anything clearly.
"I didn't hear anything." Dengzhi listened attentively, but there was only the sound of birds singing.
"There is a pit over there... I saw it when I came here just now." The secret guard whispered.
Mrs. Xu waved her hands and said, "Send two people to take a look. There was an earthquake just now. I'm afraid some pilgrims might have been shaken down when they were going down the mountain." The wind was strong in the mountains, and she couldn't tell whether she had heard correctly.
Lu Chaochao pointed to the mountain pit and said, "There's someone there."
Xu's expression was stern: "Go and have a look quickly, I'm afraid someone is injured."
The secret guard stepped on the tree and jumped to the front of the mountain pit in a few steps. As expected...
There was an unconscious old lady in the mountain pit and a crying little maid.
"Madam, madam, please wake up..." The little maid was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. When she saw someone appear, she hurriedly called for help.
After rescuing the person, the little maid knelt on the ground and cried to express her gratitude.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank her. The old lady is old and I'm afraid she might have broken her bones. Carry her down quickly." Xu called the guards, carried the old lady on their backs and hurried down the mountain.
"Thank you for your rescue. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will definitely reward you handsomely." The little maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu.
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion? ?
Lu Chaochao straightened his head suddenly.
[Oh, isn’t that General Rong’s mother? ? 】
Xu had never expected that, by accident, she actually saved Rong Che's mother.
"To show her sincerity, the old lady did not allow us to bring guards. Originally, she did not even allow me to bring anyone. I stayed only because I cried." The maid wiped her tears. Her body was very sore, but fortunately her bones were harder than those of an old person, so she did not break any bones.
After descending the mountain, the old lady finally woke up.
The maid explained the reason, and the old lady took Xu's hand and said, "Good child...good child."
"The Duke has gone down the mountain for important matters. I have already sent someone to notify him." The maid replied in a low voice.
"Let's go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and have a seat. We should express our gratitude for saving our lives."
"Don't refuse." The old lady's face turned pale. Seeing that she was unwilling to let go, Xu had no choice but to agree.
The servant called a doctor, and the old lady had injured her leg and it seemed that there was some fracture.
If he is a young person, just raise him.
"It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. I'm afraid the old lady will have to use a wheelchair for a while."
The old lady sat directly in the wheelchair.
"Look, she broke her leg while seeking a marriage partner. If the young master finds out, he'll be angry again." The maid whispered.
"If I can get it, I would be happy to die from it, not to mention breaking it. I will be smiling in my grave!" The old lady twisted her face.
"He still dares to be angry? Not sending him away to marry into the family is my last bottom line!" The old lady waved her hand.
Xu was slightly embarrassed.
If she didn't know the truth about Rong Che being single, she might have just laughed it off, but when she heard Lu Chaochao's thoughts and knew the truth, she felt really embarrassed.
"Don't be afraid, Yun'er. He's my good-for-nothing son."
"I'm over thirty and still not married. Tell me, why is my life so miserable?"
"I think he didn't choose the right name."
"Rong Che, the character Che has three water drops, which means single! It also has the character "water", which means going with the flow and having no fixed number. Tell me, is this reasonable?" The old lady clapped Xu's hands and liked her more and more the more she looked at her.
Alas, why can’t her Cheer meet such a good person?
Xu came to pray for a marriage for her eldest son, but someone had gotten married eight hundred years earlier.
"What do you think I should name Che'er?"
"If you want to be a couple, a perfect match, why not call her Rong Shuangshuang?"
"Pfft..." Xu suddenly covered her mouth and laughed out loud.
The burly Rong Che is the general who protects the country.
If the enemy on the battlefield shouts, Rong Shuangshuang, give me your life! Isn't that so funny that it's going to kill you? ?
When the old lady saw her smile, she was not angry. She was a generous person and instead felt that Xu was a genuine person.
"Let me think about it again."
[Poor General Rong, he can’t find a wife and he can’t even keep his name? 】
The carriage stopped outside the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
The Duke of Zhenguo was waiting at the door early with the imperial physician.
"The doctor's medical skills are good, just follow the prescription." The imperial physician saw it and saw that the bandaging technique was excellent, so he didn't say anything.
Everyone invited Xu into the mansion, and the Duke of Zhenguo started to scold her angrily.
"Where is the rebellious son?"
"The general has gone to the palace to meet the emperor." Everyone lowered their heads.
"If this rebellious son could just get married, we wouldn't have to worry so much."
"Today is all thanks to Yun'er. You must thank Yun'er very much. When the general returns home, let him come to thank you as soon as possible." The old lady said with a smile.
She held Xu's hand affectionately and said, "My son is a big, strong, rough man. Don't be afraid when you see him..."
"He is not like other people who like to dress up and show off. He..." The old lady waved her hand.
The last time I asked him to come see me, he came out of the military camp wearing gray clothes.
The girl turned and left.
"As for me, I can really talk to you." The more the old lady looked at him, the more she liked him.
now.
Outside the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.
As soon as Rong Che got off his horse, he heard the servant come to report: "The old lady fell into a pit in the mountain and was rescued. You are sent to express your gratitude."
Rong Che's expression tightened: "Is mother in serious condition?"
He hurried into the house and headed towards the front yard.
"The old lady is fine. She only hurt her leg bone. She just needs to rest for half a month."
Just as he was about to push open the door, he heard the servant say, "She was originally the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but she later divorced and now has her own family. The general should call her Madam Xu..."
The hand that was pushing the door stopped for a moment.
Rong Che's heart was pounding, and he turned around and looked at the servant: "You... who did you say saved my mother?"
"The youngest daughter of the Xu family."
General Rong withdrew his hand and stopped pushing the door.
"Look, aren't my clothes a bit old-fashioned? Did I forget to shave? No..." He turned around and ran out the door.
The servant couldn't catch up with him.
No, when did you start paying attention to your appearance? ? ?
After half a cup of tea.
Rong Che was wearing a sky-blue brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his hair was combed meticulously.
From the moment he entered the door, the servants in the mansion were stunned.
"There is still a fragrance on the body..." the servant took a breath.
"Peacock, has it spread its tail???"
"Is this still our general? General, don't you hate people dressed like scholars the most?"
Rong Che pushed the door open with a smile on his lips.
I just happened to hear one sentence.
"You and I are destined to be together, and I am grateful to you for saving me. If you don't mind... we..."
"Let's become godparents. I'll take you as my sister."
"We are sisters?"
