78. Chapter 78

The four little girls were chattering in the boudoir, and in the upper room, the old lady called the jade fan over and gave her a pair of jade bracelets.

The jade bracelet is not good, the white is mixed with green, only in the conditions of the Locke family, can not be too particular, the jade fan knows, this is the old lady's makeup in one of the few good jade bracelets, this thing somewhat dilutes some resentment, she knows why, but her mouth is surprised: "Old lady, what is this?" ”

"Naturally, I asked you to give it to Baotang." The old lady sighed, knowing that the jade fan had taken everything in order to get some money for her own daughter, but how much money could she get? This bracelet is counted as the jade fan she gave to her, and then to Baotang, there is a thought between the mother and daughter, and it will be chilling to take it out in the future.

Unlike her in the past, her family was poor, and she got married with two wooden boxes and a pair of silver hairpins, scraping off the silver to expose the copper inside, and I don't know where it fell this morning. If it is a valuable one, she will keep it so that it will not be lost, and it will sound good to listen to it with her juniors.

The old lady's thoughts were very simple, the jade fan's eyes were red, and her hands followed: "Thank you, old lady." ”

"Go, go and see Baotang, my daughter-in-law won't say anything at this time."

The jade fan said yes and walked out.

The sound of firecrackers outside soon rang out, Yuan saw the jade fan coming from a distance, and knew that it must have been ordered by the old lady, but he didn't say anything at the moment, the jade fan saluted her, went to the back room, looked at her back, Yuan's brows twisted slightly.

At that time, she had not yet made a marriage with the Tang family, Mrs. Tang came twice and had an accident, and later that time, she also suspected that someone was making trouble, and asked Aunt Zhou to investigate, but nothing was found, and now it is still confusing, and I don't know if it is a jade fan...... But she didn't show her reluctance at all, but she didn't seem to be unwilling, otherwise she would cry and make trouble in front of the old lady, and the old lady would not change her mind.

Yuan didn't figure it out in the end.

Inside, Yahuan helped Luo Baotang to cover her head, Luo Baotang suddenly stopped at this time, as if he was afraid of something bad, picked up the rhombic glasses at hand and took a photo again, this is the first time that their sisters have seen it, unlike Luo Baozhang, Luo Baotang does not love beauty on weekdays, this time she has carefully put on makeup, and she is not satisfied.

It's really a woman who pleases herself, Luo Baoying thought, it seems that Luo Baotang really likes that Tang Shenzhong.

Luo Baozhang sneered: "Don't look at it, it's like a fairy, my brother-in-law likes it." ”

Luo Baotang's face flushed, embarrassed to take it again.

The jade fan came in at this time, stuffed a pair of bracelets into her hand, and said a thousand words from nowhere, what she did in the Luo family, whether it was good for the old lady, obedient to the Yuan family, or keeping to herself, it was just for these two children, but unfortunately Luo Baotang chose this path by herself, although she was unwilling, it can be seen that she is happy at this time, and it seems that there should be no complaints.

only felt sorry for the suffering she would have to suffer in the future, and the jade fan lowered her head and wept: "If something is bad, you must sue your grandmother." ”

Luo Baotang said softly: "No." ”

This stupid boy, where is there something that people can't do in this life? Jade Fan sighed and patted the back of her hand.

Yahuan put a hijab on her, Luo Baotang was not particularly sad in her heart, and she was not too reluctant, in this family, she was born, she lost more than she gained, lost the bond with her biological mother, lost her intimacy with her brother, lost her father's favor, she lived carefully, for fear that she would go wrong, even her grandmother didn't like her. But in the end, these also made her grow into the current Luo Baotang.

Now she's going to live a different life.

She is also looking forward to this different life.

It's just that when the hand of the jade fan came up, when she lay on Luo Yuanjue's shoulder, and heard the soft words of the Yuan family and the three younger sisters, she still shed tears.

It is an indescribable melancholy, at which the old days will become memories.

Seeing her figure gradually drifting away, Luo Baozhu wiped her eyes and said to Luo Baoying: "Third sister, you will marry in the future, what should I do!" ”

Thinking of this, she cried the most.

Luo Baoying touched her head: "Don't you still have Jia'er, and now you don't pester me too much, I go to see him every day, I'm married, what are you afraid of?" ”

Luo Baozhang sneered: "It's still a taste with a child." ”

Luo Baoying glanced at her.

Luo Baozhang held his hair in a bun and twisted his waist and left.

"Jia'er is not like you, he is also a man when he grows up, and I don't have much to say to him." Luo Baozhu said, "Third sister, if you marry someone in the future, will you marry next door?" In this way, even if I get married, I can go over to see you every day, and it won't be troublesome at all. ”

The little girl had a lot of things on her mind just now.

The corners of Luo Baoying's mouth twitched: "Next door? ”

"yes." Luo Baozhu put his mouth to her ear, "The third cousin next door." ”

"You ......" Luo Baoying gritted her teeth, "Don't talk nonsense to me, who said I was going to marry him?" ”

Luo Baozhu's eyes flickered, and he pulled her arm and shook it: "I don't care about this, anyway, he's late, otherwise you're getting married, okay if you move nearby?" ”

The more she talked, the more nonsense she became, Luo Baoying poked her forehead with her finger: "You are only two years younger than me, and you don't know who will marry first, you can see that the second sister will marry in front of the eldest sister." Well, maybe you'll marry before me, and you'll be able to move in then. ”

Luo Baozhu was startled, was confused, and was so anxious to find Yuan.

Silly girl is easy to deceive, Luo Baoying grinned, turned around to go back, who expected that after walking a few steps, her shoulder was suddenly hit by a stone, she stopped abruptly and looked around.

Because she went to the White Horse Temple before, Luo Tianchi also threw stones at her, could it be him again?

Luo Baoying and Lan Ling Zifu said: "You go back first, I remember that there are some things to tell Zhuzhu, you two ...... Lan Ling, you go and smoke the clothes Ming'er wears for me, I want gardenia-scented ones, and Zifu, you go to the eldest brother to ask for some rice paper. ”

The two girls were confused, but they still obeyed the order and left.

Luo Baoying instinctively went to the secluded place, and sure enough, when she saw Luo Tianchi appear, she sneered and said softly: "You don't have any other way?" Always throwing stones, not afraid of hitting others? ”

"Am I throwing it accurately?" Luo Tianchi pulled her between the flowers and the wall, and after hiding it as much as possible, he said with concern, "Did Hua Zhen bully you?" ”

"How do you know?" Luo Baoying was surprised, "I originally wanted to come to you, but that dead boy sneaked into my house, entered my boudoir, and threatened me, saying that if he was not nicer to him, he would come every day!" Can you send a few guards to protect my house? I'm afraid he'll come again. ”

Luo Tianchi smiled: "I originally sent someone to guard him, but I didn't beat him, but don't worry, this time I will send more than a dozen of them and ask Luo Wei to keep an eye on them personally." ”

With her younger brother's support, Luo Baoying finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a smile: "It's hard for you, hide here to see me, but I really didn't think of a way to find you." She stared at her brother's face, "You became a commander, but you were busy?" Looks like he's a little thinner than before. ”

"That's because I'm getting taller again." Luo Tianchi gestured, "Look, it's a head taller than you, and I've been practicing a long knife recently, that thing is heavy to death, but it's easy to use on the battlefield." ”

"You're going to war?" Luo Baoying was startled, and involuntarily held his arm, "Don't go, you're just a man in our family!" ”

Luo Tianchi was silent for a while: "Our Hou Mansion has made military merits for generations, and now I have this position by virtue of Zuyin and my aunt, it is always not enough, if you can use my place in the future, you can't refuse, right?" If you want to die, even if you are in Kyoto, you will die of illness. ”

Luo Baoying was panicked and sad when she heard this, and couldn't help crying.

He grabbed her shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine, besides, it's not time yet, why are you crying?" ”

In the past, he always watched him grow up, no longer being the ignorant younger brother, and supporting the entire Yichun Hou Mansion, but when she was not around, he quickly grew into a man, and he had to learn from his grandfather and father to fight, Luo Baoying's heart was full of mixed feelings, and it was difficult to speak.

But her brother's road always had to be walked by himself, she wiped her eyes and said, "You promise me, no matter where you are, you have to be well and don't get hurt." ”

Although that face is not the same, the tenderness in the eyes is still the same, Luo Tianchi smiled: "I promise you, but you also have to promise me one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"When it comes to choosing a husband, I think He Chen is the most worthy of you."

Luo Baoying couldn't cry or laugh: "You think I don't know that you deliberately let me know?" ”

Luo Tianchi blinked: "Not bad, right?" If you marry him, he will be at your mercy. ”

"I think I'm so bad!"

"You're always bullying me at home."

At that time, he was disobedient, Luo Baoying beat him less, and there were more reprimands, but he didn't complain about her at all, because he knew that she was for his good, she was both a mother and a sister, when he beat him, he hurt, her hand also hurt, and after the beating, he admitted his mistake, and the two happily reconciled. At that time, the Hou Mansion was also lonely, but the two of them were together, as if they didn't need anyone else, when he was young, he often thought that they would live forever like this, but later he learned that they had to be separated after all.

It's like now.

He couldn't stay here and talk to her all the time.

Even if she is still her own sister Luo Zhen, she will get married one day.

He touched the golden hairpin on his sister's head and said with a smile: "I have to go, the next time you want to see me, you want to tie a red rope to the tree in front of your house, or throw stones out here?" I'll keep an eye on you, so you won't be able to ask me for help. ”

Luo Baoying thought for a while: "It's good to throw stones!" Well, I'll come here if I have something, but what about you? ”

"Me?" Luo Tianchi laughed, "Your family, Hua Zhen can enter, but I can't enter?" ”

Luo Baoying was speechless, thought of the two aunts again, and asked, "How are the eldest aunts recently?" ”

"It's good, it's the eldest cousin-in-law, since the last time I got sick, I heard that it has always been repeated, and I don't know what's wrong." Luo Tianchi twisted his eyebrows, "When I turn back, I will also go to the palace to see her." ”

Speaking of the crown princess, Luo Baoying was surprised and hurriedly said, "Then you must go and take a look." ”

The two said a few more words, and Luo Tianchi left.

Since that day, Luo Yuanzhao and Luo Yuanjue have not gone to the academy again, because they will take the township test in August, the master's intention is to review at home, and the old lady cares about the two grandchildren, and discusses with Luo Yun on this day, whether to ask Wei Lang to give some pointers. Because he won the middle school in one fell swoop, he was only sixteen years old, and he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of seventeen, which is unique in this dynasty, and even Luo Yun is incomparable.

Later, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and now he is by the prince's side, dealing with important ministers, and his knowledge and vision are even different, Luo Yun naturally did not refuse, as long as he was good to his son, he had no objection.

The old lady sent someone to say that when the day of rest came, Wei Lang would come.

Lan Ling and Luo Baoying said: "In the study, Mrs. sent a lot of snacks and fruits in, and even gave them ice, saying that it made the two sons more concentrated." ”

It's really preferential, there is no ice in Luo Baoying's room, Zifu shook her fan and said, "Girl, do you want to go and see?" ”

"See what?" Luo Baoying is strange, they are studying, can she be a girl to disturb?

Zifu felt that she was asking knowingly, but she didn't dare to intervene as a slave, although she hoped that she could marry Wei Lang, and they followed the past, that is to enter the famous family, and in the Luo family, it is a heaven and a land. But the girl didn't want to, and they couldn't help it.

Luo Baoying said: "The hour is almost there, let's go to the master." ”

In addition to resting, there are still many things to learn every day, only Luo Baotang is missing, Luo Baozhang is about to get married, Yuan asked her to review the rules, but only she and Luo Baozhu are left, she simply went next door first, called Luo Baozhu to go together, and the two listened for an hour before coming back.

When the general walked into the garden, a mother-in-law came over, handed over something and said, "It was sent by Hefu and handed over to the girl." ”

It was square, Luo Baoying opened it curiously and found that it was an ink ingot.

Luo Baozhu leaned over and sniffed it, and said in surprise: "It's still fragrant, sister, it was sent by Gongzi He, right?" ”

Luo Baoying's golden branches and jade leaves, they have been used well since childhood, and they know that they are worth a lot of money at a glance, so she is a little difficult, if you want to say that the pot of flowers can be regarded as a thank you gift for her teaching He Zhihua, then what is this? There is no merit, He Chen and her are not relatives, and she gives gifts for no reason, how can she be embarrassed to accept them?

But go back, isn't it a bit rude?

She was in a daze, Wei Lang walked over from the path, followed by Jiuli carrying a book basket, Luo Baozhu saw him and smiled: "Third cousin, are you leaving?" ”

"Yes." Wei Lang replied, but his eyes fell on Luo Baoying.

She was holding the ink ingot in her hand, and she didn't know what she was worried about, her eyebrows were slightly twisted, but when she saw him, she handed the ink ingot to Lan Ling and greeted him.

However, Wei Lang's attention was not distracted, and he asked Lan Ling, "Where did the ink ingots come from?" ”

Compared with Luo Baoying, the four treasures of the study, Wei Lang played even deeper, and his eyes were like torches, and he could see at a glance that with the family background of the Luo family, it was impossible for Luo Baoying to buy this ink ingot.

Lan Ling was a little stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Wei Lang's eyes narrowed: "Could it be that it was sent by the He family?" ”

Luo Tianchi, this kid only learns martial arts, and is not proficient in this area, as for other sons, there are many relatives, but there is no one who is really close to Luo Baoying, so only He Chen is left, he was fascinated by Luo Baoying, what is it to send an ink ingot?

If you were him, you could do it.
