"Daddy!" Qingyue's sweet female voice sounded. As soon as Luo Changqing returned to the house, he saw his daughter waiting for him in the living room. She screamed in surprise when she saw him.
Luo Changqing was naturally very happy when he saw his married daughter coming back. He quickly walked up to Luo Yaqing and looked at her carefully before saying distressedly: "Qing'er has lost weight. Did that boy Zhou Wencun make you angry?"
Luo Yaqing was stunned and quickly explained: "No, no, my husband is very good to me, so my daughter is not thin. Daddy is wrong."
"How come your face has shrunk even if you haven't lost weight? Qing'er, you don't have to say good things to that kid. One day, father will speak well of him. Who told him not to take good care of you?" Luo Changqing stroked her daughter's head, Said displeasedly.
How could Luo Yaqing be willing to let her beloved husband be blamed by her father? He hurriedly hugged Luo Changqing's arm and said coquettishly: "Father, you really misunderstood. My daughter is just not used to the food in Shunyi Prince's Mansion. She ate less. But my daughter's family is thinner. She looks good, father, don’t blame your husband..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you weren't used to the palace's food? Daddy will let you take the cook from our house back. It's because daddy didn't think carefully. Why didn't he think of giving the cook to you as a dowry?" Luo Changqing said to himself He said responsibly that he was really a rare loving father to his daughter.
Luo Yaqing did not refuse, and was completely moved: "Dad, you still love me."
The food in Shunyi Prince's Mansion is almost all heavy with oil and meat. It seems that the richness and splendor of their house cannot be shown without thick oil and red sauce. However, Luo Yaqing has been eating light meals with less oil and less salt since she was a child, so she suddenly married Entering the Prince's Mansion in Shunyi, you won't be able to eat well.
As a newlywed, she didn't dare to order food, otherwise she would have an excuse for those sisters-in-law to treat her strangely.
This time her father asked her to bring back the cook from the prime minister's house, so that she could find an excuse to build a small kitchen in her yard, and Princess Shunyi could not blame her - Luo Yaqing began to learn to do it for herself little by little. And calculated.
The father and daughter talked a lot to connect with each other. Luo Yaqingcai talked about the reason why she returned to her parents' home:
"... The mother-in-law really liked the five-color red red camellia cultivated by the step-wife. She had never forgotten it after seeing it in Wen Shangshu's house. The daughter thought that since it was cultivated by the step-wife, she came back to find the step-wife. , to see if she could still give one to her daughter... But she didn't expect the step-wife to be unwilling, saying that one was going to be auctioned, and she wanted to keep the remaining one for herself to enjoy..."
Luo Yaqing said with a distressed face, seemingly giving Xu Shichu some relief but actually giving her eye drops: "It was also me who didn't ask the step-wife in advance, which made her embarrassed. Such a precious flower is worth thousands of gold. She wants to It's normal to auction it off... As for the last remaining one, I naturally have to keep it for myself to appreciate. My daughter can't take away anyone's love..."
It's a pity that Luo Changqing didn't hear his daughter's cryptic complaint against Xu Shichu at all. He said directly: "In this case, just buy the one from the auction and give it to the princess. What is there to worry about?"
Luo Yaqing choked at his words, bit her lip, glanced at him quickly, and then said in a low voice: "Daughter, my daughter doesn't have that much money."
Luo Changqing listened and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just money? Daddy has it!"
"Dad, every kind of flower auctioned by my step-wife in Baihua Pavilion is very precious, and the five-color red pills must be the same. Our family is not very wealthy, so it is not worth spending so much money to take pictures of flowers, right?" Luo Yaqing didn't think so. He was too willing to let Xu Shichu easily make so much money from him, and he was unhappy in his heart.
She just wanted Xu Shichu to give her flowers for free, so she kept trying to take advantage of her father, but her father never understood what she meant.
In the end, she had to make it clear: "Daddy, can't you please ask your step-wife? Maybe as soon as you ask, the step-wife will give you the flowers directly without the need for an auction?"
Luo Changqing was startled, then shook his head and said with a smile: "That's impossible. Mrs. Xu loves money the most. Even if His Majesty wants chrysanthemums, he has to pay for them."
"But your majesty is your majesty, and my father is my father! Although your majesty is the lord of the world, he is a stranger to the step-wife. But father, you are different. You are the step-wife's husband and one of our own. How can the step-wife be separated from you?" Luo Yaqing argued.
"It's not that my daughter doesn't want to pay for it, but now my brother is about to get married, and there will be a little nephew in the future. After my mother passed away, our family's property has been sluggish and we can't make much money, but the family's expenses are huge... My daughter also wants to For the sake of my father and brother... As a member of the prime minister's house, the step-wife should also be considerate of my father..."
Luo Yaqing is very considerate and thinks of the prime minister's house both inside and outside her words. Luo Changqing was immediately moved by her daughter and said happily: "Qing'er has grown up and can understand her father and brother. Then I will Try talking to Mr. Xu.”
Luo Yaqing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly urged: "Then daddy, go quickly."
That is to say, Luo Changqing has a great filter for his daughter and feels that she sincerely thinks about him. If other people hear her words, they will understand her true intentions.
So Xu Shichu met Luo Changqing and his daughter in her yard.
"It seems that every time you come to my place, you are trying to get something from me." Xu Shichu looked at the father and daughter with mocking eyes.
This time it’s even more outrageous. Before, when you came to me to ask for something, you could at least give me money with clearly marked prices. Now, when you come to me to ask for something, you want to get nothing, so you’re in vain! Mr. Luo Xiang, you are really getting better and better at doing business. "
After hearing her words, Luo Changqing's face suddenly felt a little hot. He felt that he had indeed gone too far, but thinking of his daughter's words, he still said shamelessly: "I take it for granted, but if Madam can lower the price, I will Pay for it.”
Xu Shichu slowly shook his head and said with a smile: "No, as I said, an auction is an auction. The Prime Minister should know the importance of honesty in doing business. How can I cancel the auction for your own selfishness?"
"Besides, it's just a camellia. The Prime Minister just didn't buy it, so what will it do to you? Why did you come to me with such a big fanfare?" Xu Shichu glanced at Luo Yaqing, who was standing behind Luo Changqing, and knew it well. Understand who is the one who wants the five-color red elixir.
Can Luo Changqing say that I want your flowers so that my daughter can use them to please her mother-in-law? He couldn't say that, so he froze.
After a long time, Luo Changqing sighed and said, "Just think of it as me begging Madam, give me the remaining one, okay?"
Xu Shichu flatly refused sarcastically: "No! I said I want to keep it for myself."
