Waiting in the living room.
Luo Yu was dressed in a white brocade robe, elegant, and was sitting in the living room drinking tea.
Zhou Tong, the steward of the Qin Mansion, and several maids accompanied him.
As for the others, none of them showed up.
Although this marriage is a done deal and has passed, the Qin family will remember his regret and the humiliation of the Chengguo Mansion for the rest of their lives.
He came alone today, and it was good enough to let him in.
However, Luo Yu didn't seem to take this kind of cold reception seriously. He still had a warm and jade-like smile on his face and spoke to Butler Zhou next to him very gently.
Occasionally, I would chat with the maids.
"My younger brother has been pitiful since he was a child. He followed his mother into the mansion when he was more than ten years old. I didn't expect his mother to die early last year. I know that he also had an unhappy life in Chengguo Mansion... My mother was too strict in the household. I can't help him either, but fortunately there is such a relationship, and he comes to your Qin Mansion..."
"Steward Zhou, no matter what others think or say, I have always regarded Qingzhou as my brother. Thank you very much for your care during this period..."
"Our two families have indeed moved around less over the years. Hey, I heard from my father that our ancestors are family friends..."
Zhou Tong bowed his head and listened carefully to the side, occasionally chiming in a word or two with a polite smile on his face, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
While Luo Yu was talking, a figure suddenly walked out of the hall.
As soon as his eyes moved, he stood up immediately with a warm smile on his face, but did not speak first.
Luo Qingzhou entered the hall and came to him. He still bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Second Young Master."
There are distinctions between concubines and concubines, and the elders and younger ones are arranged in an orderly manner.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, in this era, some rules are unavoidable.
And now is not the time to fall out.
Luo Yu then smiled heartily, reached out and patted his shoulder affectionately and said: "Qingzhou, why are you being polite to me? Just call me second brother. You and I are brothers, so why call me second son? I'm here today, nothing else. The thing is, I just came to see you. I’m afraid you’re not used to living here, so I didn’t disturb your study, right?”
Luo Qingzhou still lowered his head and said: "No."
Luo Yu smiled and turned to Zhou Tongtong next to him: "Steward Zhou, can I chat with my third brother alone? By the way, I want to visit where he lives. Is that convenient?"
Zhou Tong didn't answer immediately and looked out the door.
Under the eaves outside the door, stood a pretty girl in a pink dress, holding a flower she had just picked on the road and sniffing it gently.
She didn't look inside the room.
"Of course, Mr. Luo, please do."
Zhou Tong said respectfully.
With a smile on his face, Luo Yu thanked him and said: "Qingzhou, let's go and take my second brother to see where you live."
Luo Qingzhou said nothing and led the way.
When the two of them walked out of the hall, the pretty girl who was standing under the eaves just now was nowhere to be seen.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes moved, he left the courtyard and walked towards the corridor.
No one was around.
When the two of them were walking on the silent corridor, Luo Yu slowed down and said with a smile: "Qingzhou, there is something I want to tell you."
Luo Qingzhou stopped, turned around and looked at him, cupped his hands and said, "Second Young Master, please speak."
Luo Yu's eyes flashed, and without correcting his title, he said slowly: "Qingzhou, you have to remember that no matter what, you and I are blood brothers, and Chengguo Mansion will always be yours. Home. If you are wronged here in the future, you can go back at any time. I will go to your mother's house and speak up for you. I can guarantee that no one in Chengguo Mansion will make things difficult for you again."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Second Young Master."
Luo Yu patted his hand gently, sighed and said: "I know that you have resentment towards me and Chengguo Mansion in your heart. This matter is indeed our fault. But as sons of men, we have There are many things I cannot control myself. With my eldest brother absent, I must shoulder the responsibilities of the family. My father, mother, and other elders in the family all have high hopes for me. Next year’s Longhu College admissions competition will not only affect my future, but also ours. The future of Chengguofu..."
"Qingzhou, I hope you can understand my second brother."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and did not speak.
Luo Yu sighed again, turned around, looked at the flower trees outside the railing, and said slowly: "Actually, the second brother is also very tired. He practices in the house every day, day and night, and never dares to slack off. Because once you stop, you are likely to be overtaken by others. Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons in Mocheng are all determined to win the entrance examination of Longhu College next year. As a scholar, you should understand that our examination is more difficult than your imperial examination. , thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, only a few can pass, most will be squeezed under the bridge, and do not even have a chance to get on the bridge. For next year's exam, there are only three places, two of which have been determined, that is to say , there is only one spot left..."
Luo Yu turned around and looked at him.
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Second Young Master, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
Luo Yu smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "Second brother is actually very confident in this exam, but there are still several strong competitors."
At this point, his eyes flashed, he glanced around, smiled and patted his shoulder, and whispered: "You should have seen one of them before. His name is Qin Chuan, and he is also your second brother."
After speaking, he said with a smile: "Qingzhou, although your second brother is not as close as our two brothers, you live here after all. If you have time, go see him more and get closer to him. You are weak. , you can ask him to teach you some boxing, kicking and bodybuilding techniques to strengthen your body, and practicing occasionally will be good for your health."
Luo Qingzhou looked up at him.
Luo Yu smiled and said: "Qingzhou, reading makes people smart. You are a scholar and you should understand what the second brother is talking about."
Luo Qingzhou didn't reply.
Luo Yu smiled and said, "Let's go and see where you live."
Luo Qingzhou led the way.
Luo Yu looked at his back, the light in her eyes flashed, and she still had a warm smile on her face.
The two entered the small courtyard.
Luo Yu stood in the small courtyard and looked at it for a moment, then said in surprise: "Qingzhou, do you live alone?"
Before Luo Qingzhou could answer, he suddenly snorted coldly and said with a stern face: "Although you are here as a wife, you are still my son in the Chengguo Mansion. The Qin family is looking down on you!"
Luo Qingzhou stood aside, silent.
Luo Yu entered the room angrily, took a look, walked out, and asked, "Have you and the eldest lady of the Qin family not slept in the same room yet?"
Luo Qingzhou looked up at him: "I agree."
As soon as these words came out, he obviously saw the other party's pupils shrink and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Have you already had sex?"
Luo Yu frowned, but still said with a stern face: "Since we already have sex, why don't we live with you? This is too much!"
Luo Qingzhou heard what he was saying: "There are no women's items in the house, and they really don't live together... How could the Qin family's Miss Qin be willing to sleep with him if she is like a fairy?" I’m afraid this guy said this on purpose because he wanted to save face]
"Qingzhou, take your second brother to find her, and he will help you talk. Although there are such rules elsewhere, you are my son in the Chengguo Mansion after all. Second brother can't just watch you being ignored and bullied here. !”
Luo Yu's face was full of anger.
Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said calmly: "I'm used to it."
Luo Yu frowned and said: "What are you used to? How can a man say such depressing words! If you are an ordinary person, that's it. You are my brother, Luo Yu! No one can bully you! Let's go and take the second brother with you. Go find her!"
After saying that, he grabbed him and left the courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou followed him out and heard his voice again: [I really still have a chance! How could this boy be worthy of such a person? He was not even worthy of carrying someone's shoes... As soon as I saw her that day, I was haunted by dreams. I wanted to see her again, so I put aside this lovesickness and concentrated on preparing for the exam. When the time comes and I get admitted to Longhu College, I will naturally be able to succeed in both the wind and the rain! As for this kid... Mother will naturally take care of him, so there’s no need to dirty my hands]
"Qingzhou, you lead the way, don't be afraid, my second brother will make the decision for you."
Luo Yu looked serious and filled with indignation.
A cold light appeared in the depths of Luo Qingzhou's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.
He walked in front, leading the second young master of the Chengguo Mansion to the residence of the eldest lady of the Qin family.
He knew very well that no one could enter without the consent of Miss Qin.
And the eldest lady of the Qin family would not agree at all.
The two quickly arrived at the entrance to the courtyard.
The courtyard door is closed.
Under the shadow of the doorway, stood a cold figure wearing a light green dress.
He crossed his arms across his chest and held a sword in his arms, as cold as ice and snow.
That look has never changed.
Her name is Xia Chan, Xia Chan who sealed her throat with a sword.
Luo Qingzhou stopped.
Luo Yu also stopped.
He stared at the girl at the door, turned his head and said: "Qingzhou..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Second Young Master, I don't dare to go there. You just have to go there alone."
Luo Yu: "..."
The venue suddenly became very quiet.
No one spoke anymore.
The sun was shining brightly and there was only the sound of the wind blowing.
After a few minutes of stalemate, Luo Yu suddenly plucked up the courage, took a step forward, and said to the cold girl in the shadow: "Girl, I am Luo Yu from Chengguo Mansion. I came here this time to explain what happened last time in the manor. I apologize to Miss Qin for what happened. I wonder if Miss Qin can go in and inform me so that I can see Miss Qin and tell her in person?"
Xia Chan stood at the door, staring at him with cold eyes, saying nothing and motionless.
Luo Yu waited for a while and was about to speak again when he suddenly saw the girl lower her arms from her chest, and the sword in her arms was also lowered and held in her hand.
Her already cold eyes suddenly became even colder and biting.
Like an unsheathed sword.
Very strange.
The wind that was blowing through the branches and ears suddenly stopped.
"Qingzhou, if you have time, please go back to Chengguo Mansion more often. Second brother came out today without telling father and mother. At this time, it's time to go back to practice. You don't need to send me away. Stay in the house. Study and try to take the high school exam next fall. Wouldn’t it be nice for us brothers to have a good time over wine and talk?”
After speaking, Luo Yu patted his shoulder, glanced at the girl at the door, and left calmly.
Butler Zhou, who was following not far away, came up immediately and personally escorted him out of the house.
Luo Qingzhou was about to turn around and leave when the closed courtyard door suddenly "squeaked" and opened from the inside.
When he looked up, the cold girl who was standing in front of the door just now had disappeared.
At the same time, Bai Ling's clear and angry voice came from the door: "Uncle, come in and be punished!"
