Chapter 59: A Strange Smile
In the backyard of Luofu, in the main hall where Yan Jiulin received guests, Luo Xue took Cui Ying and walked into this house under the leadership of Wei Rui, which was the first time Luo Xue stepped into this house. has been in Luofu for more than ten years, and this has always been a place where aunts and ladies from Luofu come here every morning to ask Yan Jiulin for peace, but Luo Xue has never stepped here, whether openly or secretly, needless to say that Yan Jiulin, who has always been an enemy when she meets, is Luo Wengong, her father, who has never regarded her as a person in Luofu.
After Luo Xue stepped into Yan Jiulin's main hall, she looked up and looked around, and Wei Rui bowed slightly after bringing Luo Xue in. Luo Xue stood in the main hall, her red lips hooked lightly, and then she walked towards her seat, Yan Jiulin's main hall was not a reception room as soon as she stepped in, but there was a wide screen in front of the door, after all, it was a place for women to chat, and it was always right to cover it.
Luo Xue bypassed the screen and unexpectedly saw a person, but in fact, she was not too surprised, after all, she was not seen in the large group of people brought by Yan Jiulin just now. The five young ladies of the Luo family, the eldest lady Luo You born by Yan Jiulin married the prince, and the second miss conceived by Aunt Yu died in the womb, but it was also a tablet, the third miss Luo Xue born to Aunt Xue married the prince of Cang, the fourth miss Luo Yu born to Aunt Yun and the fifth miss Luo Ling born to Yan Jiulin were not married, and the fifth miss was born prematurely because she was weak since she was a child, so she was sent to the royal temple outside the capital. Yuyun Temple's cultivation, Master Yun Mo of Yuyun Temple has excellent medical skills, but he doesn't want to set foot in the world, so he only lives in seclusion in Yuyun Temple, and this time Luo Ling is sent to Master Yun Mo, it has been seven years.
Although Luo Ling is Yan Jiulin's child, he has not been treated well by Yan Jiulin, because Luo Ling has been sick since he was a child, and many doctors concluded that Luo Ling would definitely not live long if he didn't take care of Luo Ling when he was young, and since giving birth to Luo Ling, Yan Jiulin was injured because of Luo Ling's premature birth and couldn't give birth to a child, so even if he knew that Luo Ling was useless, Yan Jiulin also hurt him badly, but ignored this little daughter who needed attention. Luo Ling's days in Luofu, if it weren't for the fact that she was the daughter of the concubine, I am afraid it would not be much better than Luo Xue.
What dissatisfied Yan Jiulin the most was not her sick body, but Luo Ling's kindness. Originally, Yan Jiulin was very good to this little daughter, but since Luo Ling found out about Luo Xue's situation and quietly sent food to Luo Xue was discovered by Yan Jiulin, Yan Jiulin scolded Luo Ling, except for the usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, he never cared about Luo Ling's life or death. For Hiko, neither helping her, but sometimes the people who go against her from time to time are not worth her attention, even her daughter.
And Luo Wengong, no matter which of his daughters is not worth his attention, these daughters are just tools for him to win people's hearts, everyone is the same, he just needs to ensure that they don't die, as for growing up, someone is worried, in his words, if he can't even cope with the small fights in this Luo Mansion, then it is useless. Speaking of which, Luo Xue wandered in front of the door of death many times, and saved the day many times, in addition to herself and those few people who cared about her to help her struggle on the road to survival, Luo Wengong also gave some help, although it is ironic to say that these helps.
Moreover, Luo Ling was able to go to the royal temple to cultivate, and others thought that Luo Shangshu's beloved daughter sincerely asked the emperor to let Luo Ling go to Yuyun Temple, but few people knew that Luo Ling was able to go to Yuyun Temple because she saved a person, and at this point, maybe even she didn't know.
Therefore, now only the fourth lady Luo Yu is still in Luo Mansion, and the group of Luo Fu ladies with different minds just now did not see Luo Yu's figure, so I was not too surprised to see Luo Yu here. However, this Luo Xue's half-sister doesn't seem to have changed much, she is still so cold and doesn't like to talk much. Although it is said that they have lived together in Luofu for more than ten years, Luo Xue does not have many opportunities to really see these nominal relatives, and the number of times they have met over the years can be counted on both hands.
Luo Yu was also slightly stunned when he saw Luo Xue walking in, but he immediately came back to his senses, got up and bowed slightly to Luo Xue, and said softly, but his face was still expressionless, "Niangniang!" The voice is not the soft and Confucian voice of ordinary official women, there is a trace of dryness, but there is no lack of ability and fruitfulness that can be easily heard.
Luo Xue didn't respond immediately, but began to look at the fourth sister who hadn't seen her for many years. Luo Yu is wearing a dark purple solid color skirt, without a little pattern, but it seems to be particularly charming when worn on Luo Yu, in Luo Xue's impression, Luo Yu has never seen Luo Yu wear clothes with patterns, her clothes are always a color, and it seems that Luo Yu has never seen Luo Yu wear bright clothes, always dull colors.
Everyone in the capital knows that the fourth lady of the Luo family cannot be said to be unattractive, but she can only be regarded as more than beautiful, without the beauty and softness of ordinary women, but she is indifferent to many men, and I have never heard of her talent. Now she is sixteen years old, and she has long passed the age of the prime, but no one cares, although her biological mother Aunt Yun is also anxious about this, but she herself does not care about it.
Luo Xue doesn't know much about this sister, but that little bit of understanding is enough to make her look at Luo Yu with admiration, just Luo Yu's character of being so pessimistic about power and wealth makes Luo Xue have a good impression of her, so she treats Luo Yu not like those idle people, but a little more sincerity in it.
Luo Xue waved her hand at Luo Yu casually, and smiled, "Xiaoyu, why should I be so polite, I am your third sister, no matter what identity I am now, I am still your third sister, but people are terrible, and the etiquette in front of people must always be perfect, although I am not afraid, but falling into the mouth will always invite trouble." But I still hope that you will call me the third sister, the identity of the concubine of the king of Cang will be returned one day, I don't want to let you change your words in the future, but I am not used to it. β
If others must think that Luo Xue is laughing at herself, who is the concubine of King Cang and doesn't want to live on King Cang for the rest of her life, but this Concubine Cang's side concubine is still the Xue Concubine Niangniang who was canonized by Prince Cang, and it can be seen that Lord Cang's love for her will not be lower than Princess Cang, her rather self-deprecating tone is a different kind of show-off in the eyes of others, there is a good saying, low-key is the highest level of high-profile.
However, Luo Yu knew that Luo Xue was not joking, and he didn't know why he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this third sister Luo Yu, who he rarely met, and hearing Luo Xue's more intimate tone towards himself, Luo Yu's mood rarely became very good, and when he heard Luo Xue's words, he unconsciously felt a trace of concern, and even the expressionless face finally had a little more color.
"Is the third sister having a bad time in the Cangwang Mansion?" Luo Yu changed his name to Luo Xue and asked softly.
When Luo Xue heard Luo Yu's words, she was in a good mood, and even the feeling of being a little disgusting because she saw Luo Cheng just now was washed away. Strode to Luo Yu and sat down, how could there be a beautiful lady who had just taken a lotus step, picked up the tea that Cui Ying had just brewed and sighed lightly, and then smiled, "How can you have a bad time!" You haven't seen that the prince has asked me to be the Snow Concubine, there are a few people in this world who have this honor, and those concubines in the palace are intriguing for a man, I look very interesting, and occasionally play with them, which can be regarded as passing a somewhat boring life. β
"The third sister seems to have changed a lot!" When Luo Yu heard this, he also took a sip of tea and said such a sentence. Although there are very few people in Luo Mansion who have contact with and understand Luo Xue, but in this small courtyard, you can always hear some rumors, Luo Xue was absolutely willing to marry Prince Cang, and Luo Xue's feelings for Lord Cang are known to everyone, so now Luo Xue said such indifferent words, it seems that the competition for favor among the concubines in King Cang's Mansion is just a joke, isn't it strange?
Luo Xue smiled and said indifferently, "Yes, I've been in Cangwang's Mansion for so long, and there will always be some changes." After Luo Xue finished saying this, she turned her head to look at Luo Yu, and was not surprised to see the faint distress on Luo Yu's face.
"How's the light rain going?" Luo Xue seemed to ask casually, but she could still hear the concern in her tone. Luo Xue is like this, the person she cares about, she wishes that the other party is happy to the end, and the person she doesn't care about, even if she dies miserably in front of her, her eyes will not change.
"That's it." Luo Yu replied casually, Luo Yu actually lived a pretty good life in the Luo family, at least it should be the fourth lady's food, clothing, housing and transportation, there was no lack of her, and she didn't care much about these things, just ......
It can be seen that Luo Yu doesn't want to say more, and Luo Xue doesn't plan to continue to pursue this issue, just as she wants to say something, there is a bustling voice outside the door, Luo Xue stopped the idea of continuing to speak, slowly stood up, and returned to that arrogant and invincible appearance in an instant, so that Luo Yu couldn't help but sigh at Luo Xue's speed of changing face, and also made Luo Yu understand Luo Xue's attitude towards her.
Luo Xue looked very leisurely but very quickly walked to the seat on the right side of the upper seat, and gave Cui Ying a color, Cui Ying stood behind her respectfully, took a small noodle fan, and gently fanned Luo Xue, full of style.
Yan Jiulin saw this appearance as soon as he entered the door, although it was now close to dog days, but there was also a stove with ice cubes in the house, Luo Xue's appearance was also exaggerated, which made Yan Jiulin unhappy at the same time, he had a little more contempt and contempt for Luo Xue. Such a little trick is really naΓ―ve enough. Luo Xue also watched the changes in Yan Jiulin's expression when she entered the house, and she didn't poke it, she still looked like an eldest lady, waiting to see how the situation developed.
Yan Jiulin regained the appearance of that elegant lady in an instant, and looked lovingly at Luo Xue who was sitting in her place, giving people the illusion that she was not angry at all, only she knew that in her heart, she wanted to skin Luo Xue and cramp eight hundred times.
"Concubine Xue, I've kept you waiting." Yan Jiulin said to Luo Xue with a smile, and then bowed slightly to Luo Xue, this is the role of the death level, no matter what the age of the two people is, as long as the identity changes, even if the person opposite was once just an ant that you can't look down on at a glance, when she climbs on your head, even if you don't want to, you can only wag your tail at her and beg for mercy. And now Yan Jiulin has a deep understanding of this.
Seeing Yan Jiulin's humble tone, Luo Xue was absolutely for the first time, the title of Sikong Cangling's side concubine was somewhat useful, at least it was still very good to see a person who longed for his death and no place to be buried smiling at him.
Luo Xue waved her hand casually, signaling Yan Jiulin to be polite, but this attitude made Yan Jiulin very unhappy. However, Yan Jiulin did not lose her mind angrily, but got up with a smile, slowly walked to Luo Xue and sat down, "Niangniang, outsiders have always known that the sons and ladies of Luofu get along happily, especially Niangniang, you and the princess care for the brothers and sisters is even more meticulous to the point that I hope everything will be done for those brothers and sisters, but the courtiers also know that the princess wants to manage the entire prince's mansion, and she really can't get out of her body, without your good fortune, you can have enough leisure time." The four young ladies of Luofu, now Niangniang and the crown princess have become adults, and the fourth and fifth ladies have reached the end of the year, and two days later, Ling'er will return to Luofu, so the courtiers are brave, and three days later, they will hold a garden party in Luofu, and invite the sons and ladies of each family to visit Luofu, and at that time, I hope that Niangniang can enjoy the face of the host. β
Yan Jiulin's words not only satirized Luo Xuesui as the concubine of King Cang, but she was not favored and had no real power, but also inadvertently reminded everyone that no matter what she did, her eldest daughter was the crown princess after all, and she would be the queen of the world in the future.
When Luo Xue heard this, she raised her eyebrows with interest, and seemed to be very happy to respond to this matter, Yan Jiulin's heart jumped violently, and she had some bad premonitions about the garden activities in three days, but Yan Jiulin still forcibly suppressed such a feeling. Forced to smile and deal with the next aunt and young lady, Yan Jiulin didn't see a strange smile on the corner of Luo Xue's mouth when she turned her head.
