Shen Boli took the handkerchief, carefully wiped off the ink that had just been accidentally stained on his hand, and said, "But what's wrong with Ranran?"
Shen Yu knew that his father was not easy to fool, so he used the words he had thought of before: "Father, do you still remember what your son told you last time about the prince?"
Shen Bo saluted, threw the veil back, bowed his head and said nothing.
A few days ago, the son didn't know the information he got, and suspected that someone was doing harm to the prince. He followed the news and found nothing else at first, except that some poems he and Dazai wrote in their spare time were collected by someone who was interested.
As a literati, there are always times when things get hard to think about, but Shen Boli knows how to relieve himself. When he really can't relieve himself, he just writes two poems to pass the time, and he handles it immediately afterwards.
Coincidentally, when he was just teaching the prince a few years ago, he had a theory about the current official salt matter, and finally ended it with a poem.
But he didn't expect that when Jin Yiwei investigated the case of selling official salt, one of them would be involved. Fortunately, it was discovered early and dealt with. Otherwise, although it won't be a big problem, it will still be a big trouble if someone takes advantage of it.
But he didn't know what this had to do with letting Ranran go to Jiangnan.
Shen Yuzhi saw his father's doubts and said: "My father's poem happened to be told to me by Ranran. She said that once the Jiangnan salt transport envoy held a banquet, a young lady accidentally mentioned it. After asking carefully, she found out that it was written by her father. Do it. So, the son wants to take advantage of this time to go to Jiangnan to find out who is the person who leaked the poems of his father and the prince. But if the son goes alone, it will definitely arouse others' suspicion, so he asked Ranran to accompany him. "
"Really?" Although Shen Boli was surprised, he didn't know how to refute.
Shen Yuzhi's face didn't change: "Of course. How else would the son know that the salt transport envoy had his father's poems in his hands?"
As for how he knew the truth, there was no need to tell his father.
My father was upright throughout his life and looked down upon his petty actions that were not worthy of publicity. But sometimes, saving a family depends on the strength behind it. My father only needs to be aboveboard and he will do the rest.
-
"My father and uncle really agreed?"
Luo Ran asked in surprise.
Shen Yuzhi blinked: "How can I protect you if my cousin can't do such a small thing well? It's just that the bonsai that I said I owed you last time may have to live a longer life."
Luo Ran waved his hand: "As long as your cousin finds it, it doesn't matter to me whether you give it to him or not."
The cousins all know what each other is talking about, and they all understand each other tacitly.
But Luo Ran was still a little confused: "Didn't you promise me not to go to Jiangnan? Why did you change your mind again?"
Shen Yuzhi tapped her forehead with his finger: "Why are you as stupid as Xi Qing! No wonder people say..."
The rest of the words were stuck in his throat, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, cousin didn't mean it."
Luo Ran smiled nonchalantly: "Since I didn't hide anything from my cousin, I naturally don't care about this. Also, could my cousin not be so obvious? What if my aunt and grandmother find out?"
Shen Yuzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future."
Luo Ran: "What about Jiangnan..."
Shen Yu knew: "Don't worry, I won't let you really go to Jiangnan. It's just to hide from someone's eyes."
Since she decided to go to "Jiangnan" in May, Luo Ran went back and made preparations first. After all, the Li family still lived in the Hou Mansion, and she didn't want the marriage that her aunt had finally told her father about to be disturbed by some people.
In the evening, Luo Deyun came to pick up Luo Ran personally. On the way, Luo Ran looked through the curtain of the carriage at his father who had a somewhat unhappy expression on the horse. He thought for a moment and said, "Dad, don't listen to my cousin's nonsense. I'm not in a bad mood."
Luo Deyun touched her head, smiled and said nothing. He knew that his daughter was comforting him, thinking that he was a grown man and wanted his daughter to worry about him, so his old face became a little embarrassed, and his heart became more determined that it was necessary to renew the relationship.
When I returned to my mansion, I naturally had to pay my respects to my grandmother first, but as soon as I entered the courtyard of Ningfuyuan, I heard the bustle in the house, all of which were women's voices.
Luo Deyun stopped and said to Luo Ran: "You go in first. Daddy will come over to see your grandmother later. Remember to go back early to rest."
Luo Ran nodded: "Okay, dad, don't be too busy."
Just as Luo Deyun was about to turn around, he saw Nanny Du coming out with a smile on her face: "Master Marquis, eldest lady, you are back. The old lady was still talking about you just now."
Since the last incident, Luo Deyun didn't like this Aunt Du. When she heard her words, she simply responded and continued walking out.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he almost bumped into an oncoming figure.
With an exclamation, the figure rushed towards Luo Deyun.
Luo Ran couldn't help shouting: "Daddy!"
Luo Deyun suddenly turned around, strode to Luo Ran, hugged her and backed away, standing a few meters away. Without looking at the man who fell to the ground, he touched Luo Ran's head and asked nervously: "Ranran, where is the injury?"
Luo Ran couldn't help but laugh and shook his head: "Dad, I'm worried about you."
She was so far away, even if someone wanted to pour hot tea on her, her father would have to stop him.
"Dad is fine too."
Luo Deyun felt relieved when she said everything was fine, and both father and daughter looked at the door.
Aunt Du was obviously frightened by Luo Deyun's vigorous figure. She quickly ran over and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Cousin! How are you? Oops, please come quickly!"
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Liu suddenly came out of the house, covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Cousin, why are you so careless? Thanks to Mr. Marquis, otherwise I don't know what would have happened. Come over here and thank Mr. Marquis!"
She said it as if she had just been there.
Luo Ran looked at the figure being helped up by Nanny Du and smiled slightly.
In the previous life, there was such a person, who was said to be the distant cousin of Li Yuanliang's wife Liu, who came to join the Li family and lived with them in the Hou Mansion. Unexpectedly, this girl Liu fell in love with her father as soon as she arrived.
Grandma saw that Miss Liu was quite good-looking, so she thought that she could be a concubine for her eldest son, so that she could be upright if a son was born in the future.
But at that time, Mrs. Li had already planned to adopt Luo Hongjun to her eldest brother. How could she want her father to have a concubine, so she tried her best to stop her.
Who knew, on guard, for some reason, this girl Liu got mixed up with her second uncle, and was caught on the spot raping her.
For this reason, the Li family made a big fuss, and the Liu family lost face, so the Li family finally moved out of the Hou Mansion. It's just that it was half a year later, and she got married within two months.
Miss Liu came so early in this life, presumably because her father did not agree to adopt Luo Hongjun, and she heard that her father was planning a continuation of the marriage, so Mrs. Li panicked.
