Luofu

"Lord Luo, the new emperor ascends the throne, Your Majesty has specially allowed Miss Luo to marry into the Yunchuan Palace, for the sake of your Luo family's service to Yunsang Kingdom for generations."

An old eunuch said with a cold face.

"Your Majesty has already told King Yunchuan that you will get married in the middle of next month, congratulations to Lord Luo."

Hearing this, everyone kneeling trembled, but they did not dare to raise their heads.

The first king drove the crane to the west, but Yunchuan, who was the crown prince, suddenly fell ill, half of his body was disabled, and he was in a coma for more than a month, and the second prince Yunqi ascended the throne.

Who can tell the royal curve? Those who knew about it had already made their position clear to the new king, and many of the prince's old subordinates were either demoted or killed.

Yun Chuan's general trend is gone, and he may die in the night at any time, not to mention whether his collapsed person will be implicated.

The prince Yunchuan, who had infinite scenery in the past, now doesn't even have a title, but everyone consciously respects him as the king of Yunchuan.

This marriage can be said to be a warning or a punishment.

Who wants to marry someone who has been deprived of his rights and is crippled? This is undoubtedly a big joke, and it has lost the face of Luofu.

"Lord Luo, still don't accept the order?"

Luo Sheng stretched out his hands tremblingly, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said word by word: "Your Majesty Xie!" ”

The yellow silk paper fell into his hand, Luo Sheng only felt that his wrist was a little sore, and his chest was stuffy, as if he had a mouthful of black blood pressure in his heart.

The old eunuch showed a contemptuous smile and said sharply: "Lord Luo, although the prince of Yunchuan is half disabled, he is also surnamed Yun and a royal family, you should be happy to have a relationship with the royal family." ”

Luo Sheng showed an extremely reluctant smile, "The minister understands, my father-in-law is tired of going on this trip." ”

"It's time for our family to go, who will go to the daughter of the Luo family, Lord Luo has to think about it."

There was obvious mockery in his voice, but Luo Sheng could only endure it, and he had to say, "Congratulations to my father-in-law." ”

The afternoon wind was a little chilly, cold to the bone. The birch trees in the courtyard were still rattling, and there were bursts of small white fish, but they were not so pleasing.

Sitting on the main seat was Luo Sheng, who had a gloomy face, and beside him was the Luo family's mother, Li.

There was still the yellow silk paper that Fang had just received on the table, and the soaring dragon embroidery on it made Luo Sheng feel extremely dazzling.

On the left and right sides of the lower side sat Luo Sheng's two concubines, Liu and Yang.

Standing beside Li was a young man in white with narrow sleeves, who was also the eldest son, who had just turned seventeen years old, and was Luo Sheng's most optimistic child, Luo Chen.

Behind the Yang family stood Luo Chuan, the second son of the Luo family.

Only Liu was empty behind him, not even a personal maid to serve. She closed her eyes, kept muttering something in her mouth, and kept rolling the black Buddha beads in her hands.

In this regard, it seems that everyone is not surprised, and no one cares.

There were three girls kneeling underneath, all with gloomy and sad faces, as if as soon as Luo Sheng spoke, someone would fall into hell.

The eldest daughter Luoxi, the concubines Luo Xin and Luo Yi.

As if he couldn't bear the silence for a long time, Li opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he heard a crisp sound in his ears.

Luo Sheng slapped the table and said viciously: "How can this be reasonable, but a eunuch dares to talk to me like this!" ”

The teacup was lifted to the ground, and the tea spilled with broken pieces of porcelain scattered all over the ground. Luo Xi felt a stream of warm liquid flowing down his face, but he didn't move in the slightest.

Luo Yi and Luo Xin, who were on the side, couldn't help it, their delicate bodies trembled, and they almost exclaimed.

Luo Sheng's face was so black that he could drip water, he had always been worshiped by tens of thousands of people, when had he been so suppressed? Resentment is naturally there.

Li Shi glanced at Luo Chen on his side, Luo Chen nodded slightly, slowly took a few steps forward, and bowed slightly.

"Father, don't be angry, Your Majesty's move is to see your father's attitude, after all, your father is a veteran of the DPRK, Your Majesty should also understand, and he will definitely not do it easily, we still have a chance."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng's face really softened a little, "You say, what should I do?" ”

Luo Chen said softly: "At present, we can only follow His Majesty's will-"

His words dragged on for a long time, his eyes swept to the three people behind him, and he continued slowly: "It is rumored that King Yunchuan has the most complete intelligence pavilion in the entire Yunsang Kingdom, and his son has found clues, as long as he finds the right opportunity, the initiative is naturally in the hands of his father, and taking back the power is just around the corner!" ”

The three people who were stared at by Luo Chen all trembled slightly, only to feel that their mouths were dry, as if someone had choked their throats, and it was difficult to breathe.

As long as you get the intelligence pavilion of King Yunchuan in your hand, you won't be afraid of the new king's embarrassment at that time, so why be afraid at that time?

I'm afraid it's possible to overthrow Yunqi's rule!

Yunqi ascended the throne, whether to kill Yunchuan or not is not a matter of words? Presumably, he kept Yun Chuan because he was afraid of the Intelligence Pavilion in his hands.

Luo Sheng showed a faint smile, he got up and nodded, looking at Luo Chen's eyes couldn't help but have some appreciation.

Seeing this, the Li family on the side looked at Luo Chen and smiled with satisfaction, his son really didn't let him down.

Yang frowned slightly, she glared at Luo Chuan behind her, and there was some hatred that iron could not become steel.

Luo Chuan hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Yes, father, what the eldest brother said is very reasonable. ”

Luo Sheng said coldly: "You are a person who takes advantage, and your eldest brother takes advantage of the hardships." ”

Yang hurriedly said: "Master, the most important thing now is to select the best person to marry into the Yunchuan Palace." ”

Luo Sheng walked back to his place and sat down, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but said out loud: "Chen'er, who do you think is the most suitable to go?" ”

Hearing this, Yang shivered, and his eyes couldn't help but show horror. Luo Xi is Luo Chen's sister, and Luo Chen naturally won't let Luo Xi wade into this troubled water.

The rest of Luo Xin and Luo Yi are their own baby daughters, is it possible......

Sure enough, hearing Luo Chen, who was named, the corners of Luo Xi's mouth unconsciously bent upward.

Luo Chen said slowly: "In my opinion, I think Sister Xin'er is the most suitable person, Sister Xin'er has a beautiful appearance, and Yu Luofu is the most reasonable." The age, Xin'er's sister is also just right. ”

In fact, there is no need for Luo Chen to say, Luo Sheng also decided the best candidate.

Luoxi is not only the eldest daughter, but also one of the most talented women in Yunsang country, although she has reached the end this year, but she is really reluctant, and it will be of great use in the future.

Among Luo Xin and Luo Yi, Luo Yi is still young, although he is a mute, but he will still have some effect on gathering forces in the future, and he can stay for a while.

Hearing Luo Chen's words, Yang suddenly knelt down and hurriedly said, "Master, don't do it, Xin'er is still a child!" ”

Li snorted coldly and said, "What, listening to your tone, you just don't want to?" When did Luofu lose your mother and daughter in terms of food and clothing? Why don't you want to now? Xin'er is almost in time for next month, and it's time to find a good family! ”

Luo Sheng's face also became a little ugly, and he was about to make a difficulty.

I only heard Yang's words turn around, "Naturally not, it's just that master, I have a better candidate." ”

"A better candidate?"

Luo Xi naturally didn't dare to say it, which made Luo Yi tremble, could it be that she became a security sister, and her mother planned to push herself out?

She turned her head to look at Yang, but Yang didn't pay attention to her.

Seeing that Luo Sheng didn't speak, Yang breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that he still had a chance.

She continued: "Your Majesty just said that the daughter of the Luo family did not mention other requirements, I wonder if the master still remembers the three girls of the Suoqiu Pavilion?" ”

Hearing this, Liu, who had been silent, finally opened his closed eyes, and seemed to be awakened.

All the eyes were focused on Liu's body, the third girl was her daughter Luo Jiu, who should have been married a few days ago, but she was just an unfavored concubine, so naturally no one cared.

Originally, the Liu family also had a son, but he died at an early age, and the Liu family, who knew that he couldn't fight, stayed in his yard all the year round, and the gate did not go out of the second door.

And Luo Jiu also accidentally ingested poison when he was a child, although he tried his best to rescue it, but he was also half a fool, sometimes sober, sometimes crazy.

The two mothers and sons couldn't find the slightest snuggle in this Luo Mansion, Luo Sheng knew the situation of the two, but he couldn't see it.

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Luo Chuan also hurriedly said: "Yes, father, the third sister should be the most suitable person in this case." ”

Who's to say it isn't? Fools deserve to be crippled.

Luo Sheng's brows furrowed, but he still asked Liu, "What do you think?" ”

Such an unnecessary inquiry was so disgusting in Liu's ears.

Liu Shi looked down at the Buddha beads in his hand, then raised his head and stared straight into Luo Sheng's eyes, and asked sentence by sentence: "If the master thinks it is suitable, then it is suitable." ”

It seemed that he didn't dare to look directly at Liu, Luo Sheng quickly looked away and said, "Since you have agreed, then so be it." ”

He stood up and said to the Li family behind him: "Find a time to send someone to lock the Qiu Pavilion to customize the wedding dress for Jiu'er, after all, it is a girl from my Luofu, and I can't be treated badly." ”

Li stood up and saluted, "Yes, I will do it." ”

didn't even appease him, Luo Sheng didn't bother to look at Liu, and left directly, "Chen'er, you come with me." ”

Just a few steps out, Luo Sheng glanced at Luo Chuan again and said, "Chuan'er, you can come too." ”

"Yes."

The three of them walked quickly, as if they were in a hurry to discuss something important.

Seeing that the three of them left, Liu also stood up, and she said indifferently: "Since there is nothing to do, then my sister will leave first." ”

Li Shi took a sip of tea lightly and said lightly: "Go, the third girl is getting married, and you, as a mother, should also be prepared." ”

"Yes."

Luo Xi, who was still kneeling, stood up and said affectionately: "Mother, Naxi'er will go back first." ”

Li nodded with a smile on his face, "Okay, let's go back, the weather has been cold recently, and my mother will send you some fox fur later, don't hurt yourself." ”

"Thank you, Mother."

But Luo Xin and Luo Yi, who were still kneeling, didn't dare to move. The Li family is the main mother of the family, and the son and daughter are particularly competitive, which can be said to cover the sky in the house.

After a while, Yang couldn't help but say, "Sister, the two children are also tired, it's better to ......"

Li didn't say anything, just propped up half of his head, and said slowly: "Seeing that your two girls are not young, what arrangements do you have?" ”

But before Yang could answer anything, Li waved his hand again and said, "That's it, this is what you, a mother, should worry about, so I won't interfere." ”

She raised her eyes and called out the door, "Hua Yue, still not coming in?" ”

In response, a little maid in blue clothes came in, and Hua Yue slowly walked out with Li in her arms, leaving only Yang and her two daughters.

Looking at the figure of Li leaving, Yang scolded secretly, and had no choice but to give up.

Luo Yi stood up and wanted to come over to help Yang, but he was pushed away by Yang all of a sudden, and Yang glared at her, "Dumb slave, what's the use of you!" ”

Although Luo Xin's reaction was a little slower, she was not sluggish, she hurriedly blocked in front of Luo Yi, comforted Yang and said: "Mother don't be angry, this matter is over, let's go back first, it's not a way to get angry." ”

Yang nodded, took Luo Xin's hand and left, and the rest of Luo Yi just showed a white smile, what was he expecting?

She staggered to her feet, looking at her ankle that had just been knocked on the corner of the table, and there seemed to be a trace of blood oozing out.

But she just glanced at it, then pulled her dress and covered it.

As if nothing had happened, he walked out slowly.

The Lock Autumn Pavilion seems to really lock in autumn, it is indescribably desolate all year round, and the only plane tree in the small yard has long been withered and yellow.

The thick trunk had been hollowed out, leaving only a crumbling body, whining and choking in the wind.

The bluestone bricks are also broken a lot, revealing yellow soil, which is hard.

The weeds that finally grew in the corner were also withered and yellow, lying down without energy, lifeless.

The furnishings in the small room are simple, although the Liu family has no power or power in the mansion, but they still love Luo Jiu's daughter.

But that's all she can do.

Looking at Luo Jiu, who was resting on the bed, Liu didn't say anything for a long time, she stood in front of the door in a daze, unwilling to take another step.

The girl's long eyelashes stirred gently, and her quiet face was smiling, as if she had dreamed of something interesting.

Could there be any colder place than this Luofu? Presumably it can only be like this, maybe marrying in the past is also a good choice for Jiu'er.

King Yunchuan is also a prince.

"Second lady?"

A crisp shout behind him made Liu turn around, and the person who came was the maid beside Xiao Jiu, Hua Sheng.

She was dressed in slave clothes and mended and mended, but it was still clean, and she counted a bowl of gruel in her hand, obviously, it was Luo Jiu's lunch.

Liu walked out and smiled lightly, "Later, you can go back with me and get some more money." ”

Hua Sheng shook his head a little bitterly: "Madam, your monthly dedication is only a little bit, you are already very poor on weekdays, and you have to help Suoqiu Pavilion from time to time, it is already ......"

"What are you talking about, Xiao Jiu is also my own flesh and blood."

Her eyes were filled with tears, as if they would well-up if they were not noticed.

As a mother, how can she not feel distressed that she let her daughter live like this?

"Mother?"

Luo Jiu didn't know when he poked his head out, and there was a faint smile on his pale face, "Mother, come in and talk quickly." ”

Hua Sheng saluted slightly, his face was happy, and he quietly retreated.

Liu slowly walked to Luo Jiu's side, pulled her to sit down at the table, and his face was full of pity, "Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight." ”

Luo Jiu didn't seem to feel that his situation was difficult, and he still smiled happily.

She grabbed Liu's outstretched hand and whispered, "Mother, let's leave Luofu together, I have arranged everything, as long as my mother agrees, we will leave immediately." ”

It is said that the third lady of Luofu is stupid all the year round, and she is even more squeezed everywhere in Luofu. But Liu knew that her daughter had never been a weak person.

Over the years, he may have known that Luo Jiu was frail and sickly, and he was stupid all year round, and no one would care about what happened in this Locked Autumn Pavilion.

This is exactly what Luo Jiu wants, secretly she has already established her own power, although the influence is not great, but it is more than enough to protect the mother and daughter.

But Liu didn't know all this, she only knew that her daughter was with her in this impersonal Luo Mansion.

"Silly girl, where are you going?"

It's not that Liu didn't think about leaving, and took his daughter to find a place to settle down with peace of mind.

But Luo Sheng still holds his own life in his hands......

But Luo Jiu didn't know, she frowned, "Mother, is it possible that you still want to stay here?" ”

Liu was silent for a while, but still told Luo Jiu everything that had just happened.

After listening to Liu's words, Luo Jiu sneered, "It's really my good father, and he doesn't even let go of a fool." ”

She pulled Liu's hand tightly, "It is precisely because I know Luo Sheng's methods that I don't want my mother to continue to stay here, leave with my daughter, whoever marries him in Luofu, I just want your mother to live in peace." ”

Liu Shi looked at Luo Jiu's resolute face, and couldn't help crying, she hugged Luo Jiu tightly, crying silently.

Seeing his mother like this, Luo Jiu's heart tightened, as if someone was cutting with a knife.

"Mother's ......"

After a long time, Liu finally raised his head, "Xiao Jiu, my life is in Luo Sheng's hands, how can I leave?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Jiu frowned, "Mother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Your brother is still in Luo Sheng's hands."

This shocked Luo Jiuwan! "You mean ......"

The wind at night carried a slight chill, and the broken windows of the Locked Autumn Pavilion could not stop such a chill.

Luo Jiu stood in the courtyard, looking at the dilapidated and withered trees, and kept recalling what his mother had said during the day.

"You think my brother isn't dead!"

"Luo Sheng took him away, but I had just given birth at that time, and my body was weak and I couldn't stop it."

"In front of me, he brought a dead baby!"

The blue caftan danced in the wind, and the long ink threads were messy with the wind, and the autumn cold finally came.

The stars in the sky disappeared, leaving only a bright crescent moon, scattering the cold light of the courtyard, so that there was no need to burn wax.

Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and Luo Sheng was no longer worthy of being called a father in front of her.

Hua Sheng held a thick coat in his hand, gently put it on Luo Jiu's shoulder, and said softly: "Miss, it's cold outside, let's go in." ”

Luo Jiu laughed helplessly, "What's the difference between going in and not going in?" ”

The small house could not withstand the cold wind for a long time, and the cold and light bedding would not have the slightest temperature.

In fact, Luo Jiu usually doesn't live in this Suoqiu Pavilion, but now it is a little special, maybe when the Li family will bring someone to kill him, he must be guarded against.

Hua Sheng opened his mouth and said: "Miss, it is rumored that the king of Yunchuan is half unsuccessful, quite unpopular, the wedding date is approaching, should we ......?"

It seemed that he had thought of something, "It's okay, you can't act rashly until you find someone." Isn't it rumored that the third lady of the Luo family is also a fool? ”

"If this Yunchuan King is really a disability who doesn't even have a title, it's not bad, and it's easier for me to control it."

As if he understood what Luo Jiu meant, Hua Sheng showed a smile, "Miss's plan is naturally the best." ”

Luo Jiu sighed and said, "Suoqiu Pavilion is really cold, since you are leaving, you can't treat your mother badly." ”

She turned her head to look at Hua Sheng, as if she meant something.

Hua Sheng nodded, already knowing in his heart, "Miss doesn't know, Hua Sheng has been waiting for a long time." ”

The autumn breeze blew, Luo Jiu rubbed his cold hands, and unintentionally caught a glimpse of a touch of green emerging from the rotten roots, faint and inconspicuous.

On the other side of the Suoqiu Pavilion is the Hanchun Courtyard where Luoxi lives.

Luo Xi was still sitting at the sandalwood table and reading the books, the fire on the side was blazing, and the purple windows isolated all the cold.

There are many flowers planted in the yard, but only daisies of various colors bloom in the cold wind.

Li Shi sat on the side and drank hot tea, and said slowly: "If there is something missing in the Hanchun Courtyard, just open your mouth, you are afraid of the cold by nature, don't catch a cold." ”

Luo Xi nodded slightly, "Thank you mother, there is not much in the Hanchun Courtyard." ”

"By the way, how are you with that person?"

Luo Xi raised his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of tenderness, "There will only be correspondence that day, but he promised to be with me, and when the situation is stable, he will definitely welcome me into the palace." ”

Li nodded with satisfaction, "Are you completely sure about this matter?" ”

"There is no such thing as a complete nature, but the daughter is indeed ninety percent sure, and the mother can rest assured."

I still know a lot about my daughter Li, if I am ninety percent sure, then this matter is a sure thing, and for Luofu, it is just a springboard, and her brook will definitely not be buried in this house.

"Very well, if that person has affection for you, your mother will follow you."

Perhaps because he felt that the room was a little stuffy, Luo Xi said, "Hua Feng, open the window a little." ”

"Yes."

Hua Feng gently pushed open the window, and suddenly felt a black shadow flash in front of him, but when he blinked again, there was nothing.

Although it was doubtful, Hua Fengquan thought that he was wrong, and he didn't speak, but just retreated behind Luo Xi.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Li left Luoxi's Hanchun Courtyard.
