Chapter 1218: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (8)
Wei Yanshan took Li Yuemei away, but the impact on Du Ruoheng was not over yet.
This world is even harsher on women than men.
Even though Du Ruoheng did nothing wrong from beginning to end, her marriage was still delayed.
After a girl reaches the age of 15, matchmakers rarely come to visit her.
In other words, not only Du Ruoheng's marriage was difficult, but other people of the Du family and her generation were also affected.
Du's father, Du Yu'an, didn't want to marry his daughter off casually, nor did he want to implicate the younger generation in the family, so he thought about leaving the family and taking Du Ruoheng to live in another place.
just
"Father, I'm not looking down on you. With your personality, you'll have a hard time without the protection of your family." Du Ruoheng was grateful to her father for thinking about her, but it wasn't their fault. It really shouldn't have turned out like this.
If they left the clan like Wei Yanshan, wouldn't others think they were wrong too?
Du Yu'an held his daughter's hand and said, "It's okay. If it really doesn't work out, I won't be an official anymore. The private property under our names is enough for us to spend. Daddy will take you to find another place to live. In short, I won't let you suffer any injustice."
"Dad, don't worry about these things. My master wrote to me. He asked me to go to the capital for a while to avoid the limelight and come back when things have calmed down!" Du Ruoheng handed the letter he had received many days ago to Du Yu'an, "It's a good opportunity for me to recognize some senior brothers and sisters who I have never met before."
It was rare to see his daughter smiling so happily, so Du Yu'an agreed. However, before leaving, his eyes were still red, and he told his daughter to go early and come back early.
But no one expected that half a year later, a copied certificate of becoming a monk was sent to the Du family with great fanfare - Du Ruoheng officially became a disciple of the great doctor Xuan Qingzi, and was no longer a nominal disciple, but a formal disciple with a ranking and a Taoist name.
And on this copied document of becoming a monk was clearly written Du Ruoheng's Taoist name - Huaning.
The Du family became lively again, as if what had happened before had never happened.
A few years later, when Taoist Master Huaning became famous for the Five Spirits Glory Pill, no one gossiped about her anymore.
They only said: Taoist Priest Huaning has been a genius since childhood, has a connection with Taoism, and was born to help the world.
Du Yu'an felt regretful that his daughter didn't get married, but he never said anything about it. He just hated the Wei family blindly, so in the years that followed, the Du and Wei families were always at odds with each other.
——I am the dividing line between the front and the back
In a trance, Du Ruoheng felt fingers massaging her temples. She tilted her head and squinted her eyes in comfort.
"How is it? Is your strength still okay?" Huo Xiaoye was injured, so he couldn't move his hands too big. But when he came over just now, he noticed that his sweetheart frowned slightly, so he reached out and started massaging her.
After Huo Xiaoye pressed it a few times, Du Ruoheng pulled Huo Xiaoye's hand down and said, "That's enough. You're already injured and still not being honest. Sit down and rest for a while!"
"My shoulder is injured, not my leg. I'll be fine if I stand for a while!" Huo Xiaoye's hand was held by Du Ruoheng, but it did not hinder his body movements. He naturally put his arms around her from behind. "We're leaving tomorrow, right? It's a pity that I can finally rest for a few days, but I can't travel with you."
"You heartless little thing, who am I doing this for!" Du Ruoheng poked Huo Xiaoye and said unsatisfiedly, "If it weren't for you, I would have taken the opposite route back to Huanzhou instead of going through Yongzhou."
"I understand, but I just can't bear to leave!" The young official had lost the coldness he had when they first met. Instead, he was like a puppy that couldn't leave its master. He relied on the fact that he was younger than Du Ruoheng and was injured, and kept whining to the other party, "It was better before!"
Du Ruoheng knew what the other person was talking about. When she first rescued him, she just thought he was a little kid when they first met. She thought he was pretending to be an adult, so she would tease him from time to time.
I just like to see Huo Xiaoye get angry and upset. I thought that after his injury healed, they would no longer have any interactions.
I didn't expect that this person not only has a dog-like temper, but also a nose. Even though I often change places every once in a while, he can always find me accurately.
But this guy was injured every time, and the most serious one was that if it had been a little later, Huo Xiaoye would have been dead!
Touching Huo Xiaoye's head, Du Ruoheng said with some distress: "I don't want to go back to the past. You are hurt too badly."
In order to ease the atmosphere, Huo Xiaoye just chuckled, gently rested his chin on Du Ruoheng's shoulder, stroking her coquettishly, and his warm breath brushed her ears.
"But back then, I was younger than I am now. You felt sorry for me and would deliberately try to make me happy." His voice was a little aggrieved, and it also contained a hint of nostalgia. "Now, every time I come to see you, you always scold me."
"I keep telling you that you're always injured when you come here. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid you'll care even less about your body!" Du Ruoheng's hand caressed Huo Xiaoye's injury. "After all, you're also a member of Yongzhou's Biejia. There are some things you shouldn't do yourself."
"Yes! I've already told my uncle that I will basically no longer go on missions in the future." Huo Xiaoye smiled sweetly, "I also told you that I'm going to get married!"
A breeze blew through the half-open window, landing on the couple who had rarely been together. Du Ruoheng finally let go of her years-old grudges about marriage, letting him hold her fingers tightly and whispering, "Okay!"
The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring, but at this moment, they have this piece of world, which is enough.
