Chapter 224: Fate
If it weren't for Rong Chenghan thinking that the snowy road was difficult to walk and he wanted to pick up Liu Yuwen, then Liu Yuwen would be more auspicious today. Moreover, thanks to Rong Chenghan, if he was another person, even if he could find out the abnormality in time and wanted to save Liu Yuwen, he would not have the ability to save it.
Thinking like this, Liu Ruoxi still had palpitations.
"I've always been worried that he's going to do it to Daddy." Liu Ruoxi said the words in her heart.
"In his eyes, I am a very useful person. Originally, I was worried about you/my mother's dowry, but now there is such a good reliance on Wu Yanghou. He wanted to hurt Wen'er, and wanted me to succeed him, so how could he attack me. Second Master Liu said, he also saw through Liu Yujiang.
"Daddy is right. But he wants to know that his father will not succeed him no matter what, or even if his father succeeds him, some things cannot go his way, and he will definitely kill his father. Liu Ruoxi said. In his previous life, Liu Yujiang hadn't already passed on to Second Master Liu, but he still killed Second Master Liu. That's because at that time, Second Master Liu was no longer of much use to him, but an obstacle.
"It's really bad!" Thinking of this, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help gritting her teeth. "It's a pity that there is an old lady to protect him."
If Mrs. Liu lives for a day, Liu Yujiang will be able to save his life.
Now that Liu Ruoxi said this, the second master Liu also nodded in approval. With Liu Yujiang's people and methods, such a thing is absolutely done. He originally thought that Liu Yujiang still had some family affection for him, but now it seems that it was not family affection at all, but just wanted to get benefits from him.
"Just send him away from afar. When he arrives in the north, he is not as prosperous and rich as this capital, and if someone looks at him, he will not be honest if he is not honest. Far away, he didn't have the ability to reach out again. Second Master Liu said.
"This thing. I still have to worry more about Cheng Han for us. Second Mrs. Liu turned the topic to Rong Chenghan again. If we don't have such a safe place to go, I'm afraid we won't be able to suppress a wicked person like Da Lang. ”
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, you and I are talking about Rong Chenghan. Liu Ruoxi fell silent, Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu were very grateful to Rong Chenghan at this time, on the one hand, it was out of true feelings, and on the other hand, it was not deliberately to say it to Liu Ruoxi.
But there are some sentences that Liu Ruoxi still recognizes very much. This matter is indeed thanks to Rong Chenghan. can help them to this point, whether it is in terms of subjective will or objective ability, except for Rong Chenghan, he doesn't think second-hand.
I'm afraid that from now on, the intention of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu to marry her to Rong Chenghan will become more and more firm!
Seeing that Liu Ruoxi hung her head and didn't speak for a long time, the second Mrs. Liu glanced at the second master Liu, and neither of them mentioned Rong Chenghan anymore.
"The old lady just sent someone to Da Lang's side......" said Mrs. Liu.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Ruoxi raised her head at this time and asked.
"The old lady means that she wants to keep her eldest sister." Mrs. Liu said, "The eldest sister is getting older. If they follow Da Lang and them to the north, the family affairs will definitely be delayed. When she got there, there was no suitable person to match her. ”
"Did Grandma say yes?" Liu Ruoxi asked, "It should be hopeful." I just heard the little girls say. said that the eldest / grandmother was still crying over there, saying that the eldest sister's life was miserable and that her life would be delayed. ”
"I didn't say yes." Second Mrs. Liu sighed and shook her head, "Saying that it is the eldest / grandma was going to agree." was stopped by Da Lang. The eldest sister's child also said that she was willing to go north with her father. ”
"What does Da Lang think, he is clearly doing good things for the child, but he actually stops it." Second Master Liu was a little puzzled.
"Who knows that. That heart of his. How can we see through. Mrs. Liu said.
"That's right." Second Master Liu sighed and didn't say anything.
Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but move in her heart, whether the eldest sister stayed and followed Mrs. Liu to live, or followed Liu Yujiang and the eldest grandmother to the north, she would not marry that Guo Da/Ye. For the eldest sister, this is definitely a good thing. Even if you go to the north and live a harder life, it is much better than marrying a Huahua Tai Sui and being killed by a concubine at a young age.
Sure enough, once the wicked people are defeated and go by the song, then on the other hand, the lives of those good people will be better.
Their current days prove this, and Liu Ruoxi also believes that their future days will be more powerful proof.
“…… Cheng Han helped in the middle of the night, and his subordinate Zhou Baihu ......, who was making a lot of noise, I am afraid that he didn't even drink a cup of hot tea. I thought, we're going to have to say thank you. "Second Mrs. Liu discussed with Second Master Liu and Liu Ruoxi.
Second Master Liu and Liu Ruoxi both nodded.
For Zhou Baihu, things are relatively easy to do.
“…… And he prepared two fine rulers, a set of clothes, shoes, and socks, and sealed two letters of silver. Liu Ruoxi proposed, "And the people who follow the errands, just give a ruler and a piece of silver...... Just send a few more jars of wine. ”
"That's great." Second Mrs. Liu agreed, but when it came to giving Rong Chenghan something, everyone was a little embarrassed.
"I prepared a set of clothes for Cheng Han, and the other ......" Second Mrs. Liu thought about it, so she discussed with Second Master Liu and Liu Ruoxi, "I plan to give that little village in the west of the city to Cheng Han as a thank you gift." ”
Second Master Liu nodded in agreement, and Liu Ruoxi was a little unhappy when she heard that Second Mrs. Liu was going to give Rong Chenghan a Zhuangzi.
Originally, if someone else had helped them like this, Liu Ruoxi would not object, but this person was Rong Chenghan, and Liu Ruoxi felt a little awkward.
"Mother, this gift is heavy." Liu Ruoxi said, "He is my father's student, my father and mother are good enough to him, and my father refuses to hide his secrets at all." He came back from the north, and much of it is still the way he is today, thanks to his father. He serves his father and mother, which is also his own business. ”
"You can't say that." Second Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Ruoxi, "Wen'er's life is not worth a Zhuangzi." The safety of a few of us is not worth a mere Zhuangzi? ”
"Don't talk about one Zhuangzi, just a few, we are willing to send it, but if it weren't for Cheng Han. Who else can help us like this and care so much about our affairs. ”
Hearing Second Mrs. Liu say this, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but blink.
"Mother, you don't usually have to say it like this......" Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but say.
Liu Ruoxi is like this, and Mrs. Liu Er can't help laughing.
"That's the way things are, it's not that my mother wants to speak for him, and it's not that my mother is partial to him."
"Mother's Zhuangzi, it's better for my mother to make her own decisions." Liu Ruoxi said.
"What mine, that's not yours yet. I have to keep some of these things for Wen'er. It's all yours. Mrs. Liu said.
"As long as my father and mother are good, those are just things outside the body, and there is no one for me, and I am happy." Liu Ruoxi said.
"Good boy." Mrs. Liu Er smiled, and Mr. Liu also nodded with satisfaction on the side.
And so it was settled.
Soon, the sky was bright, Liu Ruoxi freshened up a little, and followed the second master and second wife Liu to eat something, and they all came to the courtyard of the old lady Liu. Mrs. Liu San had already sent someone to supervise Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma to pack up their things overnight.
“…… And so begins. Otherwise, you won't be able to stay overnight. Mrs. Liu San came over to report to Mrs. Liu, saying that Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma were leaving, "You want to kowtow to the old lady, according to me." You don't have to. The old lady didn't rest last night......"
Although Mrs. Liu San said so, she couldn't see Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma, so it was up to Mrs. Liu to have the final say.
Old Lady Liu's eyes were a little red again, and she lowered her head and pondered for a while. He shook his head.
"Well, let them go. Don't kowtow to me anymore. …… Tell Da Lang to get over there. Do your errand...... ...... end," Mrs. Liu said halfway through her words, then waved her hand, and only let people go out to pass the word.
As the first grandchild of the Liu family, Liu Yujiang has been deeply favored by Mrs. Liu since he was a child. Over the years, although Liu Yujiang has done many evil things behind his back, he has always been a very filial and obedient grandson in front of Mrs. Liu. Liu Yujiang wanted to leave the capital far away, and Mrs. Liu was reluctant in her heart, but after so many things happened, Mrs. Liu knew that she couldn't keep Liu Yujiang, so she was afraid that if she met again, she would be sad.
Mrs. Liu had such a thought, but when Liu Yujiang heard the words outside, she thought about it differently.
Mrs. Liu was also kind to him, and she refused to even say goodbye. Originally, he also wanted to take this opportunity to make Mrs. Liu soften her heart and help them stay.
Liu Yujiang secretly gritted his teeth, and took Liu's grandmother, eldest sister, second sister and senior official to kowtow at the door of Mrs. Liu, and then was escorted out of the door and got into the car, and went straight to the north city gate. Along the way, I arranged a capable steward to guide them, and they will only come back to their fate when they reach their destination.
Seeing that Liu Yujiang was sent away, Liu Ruoxi was naturally happy. Mrs. Liu San also smiled happily, even if she didn't care about the grievances with Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma, these two people were gone, and Mrs. Liu would have lost her most powerful arm in this family, and from now on, Mrs. Liu would no longer have the ability to fight with her.
"Mrs. ......" Liu Ruoxi glanced at Mrs. Liu's yard, something like this happened, Mrs. Liu has been hiding in the yard, and she hasn't even shown her face, which is too simple. Anyway, Liuda/Grandma is her own niece.
“…… said that he was sick and serious in a hurry," Mrs. Liu San told Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi, "I only heard that someone sent someone to send a bag of silver over early in the morning......"
A bag of silver, this is all Mrs. Liu's heart for Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma.
Liu Yuhai was also watched by Mrs. Liu, and did not show up, but Feng Jianzhang, the maiden brother of Liu Da/Grandma, went to see Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma.
"I said that I also wrapped a burden, and it is estimated that it is still some silver taels." Mrs. Liu San said.
Regarding the fact that the Liu family drove Liu Da/Grandma and Liu Yujiang out of the capital and went to the extreme north to beg for a living, Feng Jianzhang, as his mother's family, did not say anything. Knowing what Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma did, Feng Jianzhang really had no position to speak for Liu Da/Grandma. Moreover, this is probably what Mrs. Liu meant.
Mingzhe protects himself and sweeps the snow in front of the door, it seems that this is the attitude that Mrs. Liu is determined to adopt in this matter.
……
When Second Master Liu came back from Hanlin Academy, Rong Chenghan also followed. The two of them went to the upper room to sit down first, and Mrs. Liu took out the silver taels and rulers to thank Zhou Baihu and those entourage guards.
“…… Thanks to them running back and forth, it's a little bit of our heart......" Second Master Liu said with a smile.
Rong Chenghan didn't refuse, he accepted it very happily, and asked for two jars of wine from Mrs. Liu Er for Zhou Baihu, and thanked Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu for Zhou Baihu and others.
Then, Mrs. Liu took out the clothes she had made for Rong Chenghan.
"Try it to see if it fits." Mrs. Liu said.
Rong Chenghan got up, compared the clothes on his body, and thanked Mrs. Liu.
"It's hard work again." Rong Chenghan unceremoniously accepted his clothes. On the clothes handed over by Mrs. Liu, there is also a red seal. Rong Chenghan saw it and glanced at Second Mrs. Liu with some suspicion.
"This is also a little bit of Shi Niang's heart." Second Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
Rong Chenghan opened the red envelope, and after seeing the title deed inside, he was obviously stunned.
“…… A small Zhuangzi is not big, and there is also some income at four o'clock a year, so I will give you pocket money. ”
Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but secretly slander herself on the side, Mrs. Liu's pocket money was really generous. Seeing that Rong Chenghan did not refuse, he must have accepted it.
Rong Chenghan was stunned for a moment, but put the title deed back into the red envelope, only accepted the clothes, and returned the title deed to Mrs. Liu's second wife.
“…… It's just that I did my part, and I can't accept such a big gift from my mother. ”
Mrs. Liu Er must accept it from Rong Chenghan, but Rong Chenghan insisted on refusing to accept it.
"Shi Niang insisted on doing this, because she wanted to be estranged from Cheng Han." Finally, Rong Chenghan said.
Rong Chenghan said this, and his attitude was so resolute, Mrs. Liu couldn't do it, so she had to take the title deed back. After everyone talked about the conversation, they talked about learning again, and the second master Liu remembered a rare book he had collected and wanted to show it to Rong Chenghan. Now the small study of the second master Liu is under the management of Liu Ruoxi, and if you want to get rare books, you have to ask Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi went to the small study to find the book and showed it to the two of them. Liu Ruoxi also took out the book herself, and sat on the short couch by the window and read it slowly.
Second Master Liu and Rong Chenghan sat at the desk, first talked about it, and Second Master Liu went out if he had something. Liu Ruoxi looked at the scroll in her hand, and didn't pay attention for a while, until she heard someone whispering to her.
"Auntie ......"
Liu Ruoxi raised her head.
Rong Chenghan sat at the desk and looked at her.
"Auntie, are you...... Don't wait to see me...... The beard? (To be continued......)
