There are guards in front of the Hou Mansion, two in front and four on both sides, all with swords hanging from their waists.

Luo Baoying walked over and asked softly, "A few big brothers, may I ask if Master Hou is in the mansion?" ”

Her voice was soft, but not coquettish, although the graceful figure that had just come was reverie, but standing at the moment was graceful and graceful, and it would never make people look down on her, and one of the guards looked at her, and the bun was a young woman's dress, and the dress was also extremely rich, and she knew that she came from a family.

However, after Luo Tianchi grew up, because of his unique conditions, he was scolded every day, and ordinary guards didn't dare to let anyone in at all, unless he gave an order.

The guard said, "Dare to ask whose lady it is?" ”

Luo Baoying said: "You just have to tell him, God knows that you know and I know, and Hou Ye will meet." ”

The guard raised his eyebrows, his intuition was nonsense, but the young woman in front of him stood calmly and looked at him calmly, which made him feel weak for a while, feeling that if he didn't tell Luo Tianchi, he would definitely make a big mistake. He straightened his waist and said, "I'm sorry, although I want to pass on the message for my wife, but the Hou Ye is not in the mansion now, if the lady is not in a hurry, let's come back tomorrow." ”

It's normal not to be there, Luo Baoying said: "Please go to the Terracotta Division for me to ask, where he is now, if you know, you come and tell me immediately, I have something important to discuss with him." ”

Yamen is not like the Hou Mansion, she is a woman and can't show her identity, I'm afraid it is not easy to find Luo Tianchi, so she came here.

The tone was a little arrogant, and the guards felt that she was coming, so they went to the yamen after discussing with several other guards, and came back later to tell Luo Baoying that Luo Tianchi was in Fengqitai. Because there was just a fire there and someone was being rescued, Luo Baoying heard the words and ordered the guard: "You go with me, and when you see Master Hou, you will pass the word for me." ”

The guards were stunned.

Luo Baoying said coldly: "You go, Hou Ye will have a heavy reward, if you don't go, Hou Ye will definitely be severely punished, you weigh it yourself!" ”

She is so sure, the guards know Luo Tianchi's temper, although she is suspicious, she doesn't dare to take this risk, after all, Luo Baoying is a weak woman, even if she goes, can she still do anything to him? But if you don't go, you really made a mistake, it is irreparable, the guard thought twice, and followed her to Fengqitai.

The fire had weakened at this time, Luo Tianchi wiped his sweat and scolded those soldiers fiercely: "I don't know how to patrol the city, I should go to fetch water when the smoke came out earlier, look for death one by one, and get ten whips for each of them when I turn back!" ”

The soldiers bowed their heads.

The guards were a little worried when they saw this, what if the woman was a fool? What God knows you mean I know, is it really useful? But they all came here, and when he looked back, Luo Baoying did not escape, just waiting not far away, so he stubbornly said: "The villain has seen Master Hou." ”

Luo Tianchi glanced at him: "Why are you here?" ”

"Tell Master Hou, there is a lady who wants to see you." He was not very confident and said, "God knows what you know, you know what I know." ”

What is there in this world that only the two of them know? Luo Tianchi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Where is she?" ”

The guard finally breathed a sigh of relief and gestured in the direction Luo Baoying was.

Although there were people coming and going on the street, she was also wearing a hat, but Luo Tianchi saw her at a glance, strode over, and stopped in the middle, because he suddenly thought of the reason why his sister came to see him, it must be to go to Liangzhe! Otherwise, she wouldn't have come at all until she had to.

What to do? Luo Tianchi flinched suddenly.

He promised his sister not to go to war, he promised it personally, but now he has broken his promise, and his sister must have come to settle the score!

But you can't go and you can't.

Told his entourage to retreat and walked over hard, Luo Baoying saw him, and as he expected, he really stretched out his hand and punched him in the chest.

"You can fight, I will fight you anywhere." Luo Tianchi admitted his mistake as soon as he came, "But if you beat me like this on the street, I am afraid that I will be suspected, after all, I am the Hou Ye, right?" He said, "I haven't married a wife yet, and others will doubt your identity." ”

Luo Baoying stared at him fiercely.

"Let's go, go to the teahouse in front." Luo Tianchi led the way.

The two walked to the second floor and asked for a private room, Luo Tianchi was afraid that his sister would be angry again, so he sat down and said, "Sister, I'm not going to die, I don't know what you're worried about?" That Japanese coward doesn't have much troops, just a few warships are an eyesore, and he likes to fight guerrillas, so it's not easy to capture, otherwise you think my aunt will allow me to go? She asked her cousin, and my cousin said that as a marquis, I should make some military achievements to convince people. He flatteringly took her hand, "Sister, don't be angry, okay?" I'll be back soon. ”

Hou Ye, who was majestic outside, was like a puppy wagging his tail in front of her at the moment.

At that moment, she seemed to see him getting into trouble at a young age and being caught by her.

Nothing has changed.

Luo Baoying was actually a little persuaded by him, because he brought the eldest aunt out, and indeed the eldest aunt also cared about him and would not let him take the risk lightly, but she snorted in her mouth: "You said it nicely, but it really came to Liangzhe, what if you still have a qiē?" Let's ...... daddy" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad, "I told you not to go, you want to go, what does it matter if you have military merits or not?" Now the decree has not been given, and there is still time to redeem it! ”

Her eyes were red, and Luo Tianchi saw her sad and regretted it.

But the older he gets, the greater the ambition in his heart, if he hides in Kyoto and does nothing, and enjoys wealth with peace of mind, what will others say when they mention Yichun Houfu in the future?

He stood up and hugged Luo Baoying's shoulders: "Sister, I don't want to be said to be a wreck who will only rely on my ancestors to shelter in the shadows. I've grown up, I know what I need, and I understand why my father went to the battlefield back then, that was the fate of our Hou Mansion boys, sister, think about other declining magnates, why did they collapse? I don't want that! Even if we have an aunt and a cousin, in the future, I, my son, will have to rely on ourselves from generation to generation. ”

He said it impassionedly, Luo Baoying remembered that the night before her father left for the battlefield, her mother cried very sadly, but her father did not stop, even if he knew the danger of that battle, there were two generals hiding in that great desert before!

But he still didn't hesitate.

Perhaps, compared to that time, the widow is really much simpler, Luo Baoying knew that she could no longer stop her brother, she advised: "You must come back safely, you promise me." ”

That was her closest relative, and she really couldn't accept the loss of Luo Tianchi, which would make her feel too lonely in the world.

Luo Tianchi said solemnly: "I promise you, sister, don't worry." ”

His attitude was very serious, Luo Baoying breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I can only tell you this today, and when you come back to the Wei family, I can't say it, so as to save others from feeling strange." Given their apparent relationship, the most she could do was wish him a triumphant return.

Luo Tianchi was surprised: "Go to the Wei family?" What's the matter, Brother Wei wants to practice it for me? ”

"That's what he said."

Luo Tianchi chuckled: "Does he really believe what I say?" But if you don't believe him, there's no way, no one can guess our relationship. He sighed, "Although I really want to tell him the truth, I'm afraid he won't accept it." ”

"Who would believe this kind of thing but you?" Luo Baoying said, "Don't say it!" ”

She was afraid that others would be her monster.

Luo Tianchi smiled: "Okay, as long as I know, I will protect you, sister." ”

"You will say, aren't you going to Liangzhejiang?" Luo Baoying rolled his eyes.

"Sister, I've asked the two generals, it's only been a few months at most."

A mouthful of a sister, called intimate and warm.

Wei Lang leaned against the door, as if he had merged with the wall, and he couldn't tell whether he was dead or alive now, because his face was expressionless, as if he couldn't even breathe. Holding his breath and concentrating, he used all his energy to listen, but what he heard completely turned him upside down.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, and Jiuli hurriedly came over to pull him away, and said softly: "Young master, be careful of being discovered." ”

He didn't speak.

Jiuli looked up and saw his face, startled, and hurriedly said, "Young master, do you want to go to the hospital to see the doctor?" ”

Wei Lang said lightly: "I still have to go to the palace, but I just have time to come out." "After a pause," I want to see a doctor, but also to see a doctor. ”

But he believes that even the verdict of the Tai Hospital will not cure him now.

Sitting in a sedan chair, he lowered the curtains and hid himself in the dark.

Remembering the first time he saw Luo Baoying, she smiled sweetly at herself, he thought at the time, these three cousins are quite likable, and then that night, when he came back from the study, he saw her standing at the door of his courtyard, wearing a thin skirt, he was afraid that she would catch a cold, and lent her his cloak.

If she is really Luo Zhen......

He closed his eyes slightly, not knowing how to describe the love that came out of his limbs, from every pore.

Perhaps obscure and indescribable.

After Luo Baoying said goodbye to Luo Tianchi, she went back to the alley to see the two maids, in order not to arouse suspicion, she went to buy incense, paintbrushes, and paper, and then returned to Wei's house.

The place where He lives is a little remote, but it is very quiet, when she arrived, He was embroidering something in the yard, and it was a large piece of Baishou picture.

Seeing her coming, He put down the needle and thread and said with a smile: "Do you know how old your grandfather is this year?" ”

Luo Baoying was a little confused, but she thought that there must be a reason why He asked this, so she couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that my grandfather is going to celebrate his seventieth birthday?" ”

"Yes, in November." He said, "It's still early, but I'm slow, thinking that I always have to give a big gift, so I prepared early." ”

Luo Baoying said with a smile: "Mother has a heart, then it seems that I have to think about it, life is rare for seventy years." ”

Few people live for so long, and it is really rare that Old Man Wei is still serving the imperial court!

He asked, "Why are you here now, have you had lunch?" ”

"Yes." She gave the incense to He's, "Didn't you go out today, I bought a few more, mother, do you like it?" ”

As soon as it was opened, the light smell filled the tip of the nose, He smiled, thinking that the daughter-in-law's vision here is still very good, or the nose is also very good, this fragrance is similar to what she usually uses, she must have bought it according to a similar one, so why would she not like it?

"It just so happens that mine is also used up, so I'll use this tomorrow." Meaning, she took it.

Luo Baoying was very happy.

He said: "I heard that your female worker is not bad, since you are here, it is better to give me a few injections." ”

If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have nothing to say, they will be embarrassed, and they will not do something.

Luo Baoying continued to embroider the picture of longevity for her.

When he came back, it was already Shen Shi, Luo Baoying ordered a few dishes, asked someone to go to the kitchen to cook, and then sat in front of the desk to write.

Unconsciously writing until it was dark, she raised her head and saw that the moon had risen, and said in surprise: "Xianggong hasn't come back yet?" ”

Zifu shook her head: "No, I didn't make anyone say it earlier." ”

Is there something going on in the palace? Luo Baoying had to worry, because after marrying Wei Lang, nothing like this had ever happened when he went to the Yamen, and if he was busy and wanted to come back later, he would ask the little maid to go back to the house to tell her, but today there was none.

Putting down the pen, she was about to ask Zifu to send a little maid to explore the wind, but she heard the young master called outside.

She walked a few steps to the door and asked, "Why is it so late today?" ”

His white face hid his joy at seeing him, but he pretended to be angry, intending to ask him why he didn't let anyone tell him.

At this time, he thought he was very familiar with her.

But it turned out that it was not.

He apologized: "I forgot today." ”

Luo Baoying snorted: "Fortunately, I'm not very hungry, otherwise I would have eaten first." ”

Obviously waiting for him, but making excuses for himself, he was still in that temper, Wei Lang stretched out his hand, habitually took her in his arms, and through the skirt, there was warmth on her body.

She bowed her head and untied the jade belt for him.

He could smell the scent coming from her hair, it was jasmine.

Nothing has changed.

It's just him who has changed.

Luo Zhen......

He silently read the name between his lips, and returned to the palace to deny it countless times, but he gradually understood that he couldn't deny it, just as he couldn't understand why Luo Baoying rejected him so much, why he didn't want to get close to him.

Because what she cares about has always been his friendship with Luo Zhen.
