Luo Ruxue held back her embarrassment, raised her head and looked at Fu Jinan, and asked, "What are the conditions? Mr. Fu will never help me for no reason, right?"
"condition?"
The injury somewhere was not healed yet and was getting more and more painful. Fu Jinan gradually lost his patience and just said, "I don't want Luo Ran to marry Fu Shiheng" and then got up and left.
When Luo Ruxue returned to the mansion, Yue Wanhe and others were about to leave and met at the gate.
Lu Yuanyuan looked at the lost Luo Ruxue and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be Miss Luo Er. Why haven't I seen you walking around behind Fu Mingzhu recently? Why, the owner has changed. Already?"
Every time Fu Mingzhu quarreled with her, Luo Ruxue was always there to fan the flames. Later, she found out that Sister Ran had broken off the engagement because of her. She was even more displeased with her and would make some sarcastic comments every time they met.
Luo Ruxue had something on her mind today. Faced with Lu Yuanyuan's sarcasm, Luo Ruxue did not reply for the first time. Instead, she bowed politely: "A commoner's daughter pays her regards to the princess."
He raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Ran again, with complicated eyes. Although he did not follow the etiquette of the county master, he still called: "Sister."
Then he turned around and entered the house.
Lu Yuanyuan looked like she had seen a ghost, pointed at her back and said, "She, is she possessed by a demon? Could it be that the sun is rising in the west?"
Look toward the sky exaggeratedly.
Yue Wanhe smiled at Luo Ran, pulled Lu Yuanyuan into the carriage, and said goodbye to each other.
That night, Luo Ran waited until late at night again, but the man still didn't come. After a few days, he gradually lost his vigilance, or in other words, simply didn't care.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
After everything was tidied up early in the morning, Luo Ran asked Aunt Qiu to carry the two children to the couch.
The fire in the house was burning fiercely, and the two children were not swaddled. They only wore a thin red jacket with pictures of hundreds of blessings embroidered on it. The two children faced each other and nibbled on their white and fat little hands.
Luo Ran was not around when the child was one month old, and he always felt that he owed the two children something.
It doesn't happen that today is two months old and it's the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month. When she was in Jiangnan, there was a custom of sewing embroidered shoes on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, so she thought of sewing a pair of soft-soled socks for each of her siblings to wear around the house as a replacement birthday gift.
Yuan Shuyi heard about it and came over to sew along with her, chatting while sewing.
Halfway through sewing, Luo Ran looked at Yuan Shuyi and asked, "When does mother plan to take over the middle school education in the house?"
Yuan Shuyi smiled: "I have been in charge of my parents' family for fourteen years, and now I really want to take a break."
Afraid that Luo Ran wouldn't believe it, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "What's more, you still don't know what's going on in the house? You gave me your father's private property, and your father's ideas were handed over to the official salary. It's good to support such a big family, but you have to be careful with your budget. It's great now. I'll help you coax the kids if you have nothing to do, and let's talk. It'll be so relaxing."
That's right, on the second day after Yuan Shuyi got married, Luo Ran handed over all his father's private property to Yuan Shuyi, leaving only his mother's dowry for himself.
Luo Ran covered his mouth and smiled: "I can't tell, mother is so smart, you have to teach me in the future."
"Then you have to study hard in the future!"
Yuan Shuyi deliberately looked arrogant.
The two fell into laughter instantly. They didn't look like mother and daughter at all, but more like close friends.
But at this time, Luo Deyun couldn't laugh at all.
He thought he would go to court for two more days, and in the new year, the court would seal the deal, and he would be able to go home and entertain his grandchildren. Who would have thought that he would be left alone by the emperor during the morning court session.
I just heard the emperor saying to Man Chao Wenwu: "Luo Aiqing, come with me to the imperial study in a moment. I have something to tell you."
"I obey the order."
Luo Deyun followed the emperor, going over Jiangnan and the military camp in his mind in case the emperor asked about it later.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, they found that there was another person inside. It turned out to be the Commander-in-Chief who had not been seen in court for the past two days.
Fu Jinan was originally standing with his back to the door. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saluted: "Your Majesty."
"Um."
The emperor responded perfunctorily and walked past him.
Fu Jinan called Luo Deyun again: "Master Hou."
Luo Deyun hurriedly returned the gift.
The commander was from the second rank. Luo Deyun was from the second rank when he was the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan. Logically speaking, he was one level higher than Fu Jinan.
But although the emperor has not taken back his position as commander-in-chief for the time being, if he has been in the capital, the new commander-in-chief will take office only after the year. What's more, not to mention him, even a high-ranking minister would have to be polite when meeting the emperor's favorite minister.
But today, Fu Jinan didn't know whether it was intentional or because he was slow to think about something. He didn't put away his saluting hand until Luo Deyun straightened up.
The emperor on the dragon throne took a deep look at him and sneered.
Fu Jinan pretended not to hear.
Luo Deyun didn't know what kind of medicine the emperor and his ministers were selling in the gourd. He braced himself and prepared to deal with it, when he heard the emperor speak slowly, as if chatting about ordinary things, and asked: "Luo Aiqing, how are the two orphans of the soldiers doing now."
He deliberately emphasized the word "orphan" and glanced at the people around him casually.
Luo Deyun's bushy eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, and he simply replied: "As far as I'm concerned, your Majesty, that's fine."
The emperor nodded, seemed not to be overly concerned, and asked about the recent situation in the military camp.
Luo Deyun answered one by one.
Suddenly, the emperor changed the subject and asked: "By the way, I haven't asked the names of the two children yet. I heard they are twins. Who was born first?"
If Luo Deyun still doesn't know what the emperor means at this time, then half of his life will be in vain.
He looked to his side with sharp eyes.
The corner of Fu Jinan's mouth twitched, and he didn't look at him with a guilty conscience.
Luo Deyun suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth and replied loudly: "To answer the question to the emperor, my sister's name is Luo Qingning, and my brother's name is Luo Jingxing."
Following the emperor's behavior just now, he deliberately emphasized the word "Luo".
The emperor didn't seem to care about the last name at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? It turns out they are my sister and my brother."
"I thought they were my brother and sister."
Give someone a meaningful look.
Fu Jinan frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy, and said, "I think it is better for my brother to take care of my sister."
Luo Deyun replied with a smile but not a smile: "If Mr. Fu likes it, he can get married and have children by himself. It doesn't matter how many brothers and sisters he has. There is no need to comment on other people's children."
Fu Jinan choked.
Seeing him deflated, the emperor was in an unprecedented good mood.
This young man has excellent skills and courage, but he is just too arrogant. This time the nemesis finally appeared, and the emperor began to become a little curious about the woman.
So he said: "Let's do this. Tomorrow Luo Aiqing will bring the two children to me for a look. Although the imperial edict is from me, I have not yet met the legendary Lord of Shanning County."
