Chapter 110: The Gambling Contract
Now in September, the good news will be reported in March, and in these days of raising a baby, Qi Yanran naturally can't toss any storms, but when she gives birth to a child, if it is a boy, the mother will definitely rely on the child.
If you want to worry, it's something that you will worry about later.
When she returned this time, her surroundings were suddenly much quieter, no one would harm her at will, but her heart was empty, and the thieves who killed Luo Qian seemed to have disappeared, leaving no trace, and she didn't know where to start.
As soon as September passed, she would be fifteen years old, and because she was still in the period of filial piety, she could not hold a big ceremony, not to mention that only a few of them were in Bianjing.
Murong Yurao knew about Rong Wan's birthday, so she specially came to watch Rong Wan's humble ceremony, so she invited Rong Wan to go out for a walk, saying that the autumn moat has a unique flavor.
Rong Wan walked out of the outer courtyard with Murong Yurao, and saw a young man followed by Feng Bo, who was very familiar between her eyebrows, she stepped forward and took two steps, and then saw Feng Bo stop and called, "Lady." ”
Rong Wan responded, looked at Feng Bodao, "Where are you going?" ”
"The old slave went to find his wife." Feng Bo replied.
Rong Wan was stunned, it seems that Feng Bo has never taken the initiative to find his mother, if something happened? Thinking about it, she then asked, "But what happened?" ”
Feng Bo pushed the young man behind him out, and then said, "The old slave wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown." ”
Rong Wan was stunned for a moment, I don't know why, Feng Bo was the chauffeur he was looking for in Luzhou when Luo Qian was the governor of Luzhou before, when Feng Bo's house had just been hit by a fire, and he was not too young, and there was no one in the family. So when they returned to Bianjing, Feng Bo followed.
And in the previous life, until before his own accident, Feng Bo was still guarding Luofu and never mentioned going back, but today made Rong Wan very strange, and he didn't know what happened.
Feng Bo paused, looked up at Rong Wan, his face was embarrassed, and then said, "Lady." In fact, when it was in Luzhou. The old slave also has a son in his family. ”
This was completely unexpected, and before Rong Wan could ask, he heard Feng Bo continue, "When I was in Luzhou. When the lord of Lang meets an old slave on the street. The old slave's house had just been set on fire. Master Lang once asked the old slave the reason, and the old slave said that he accidentally walked into the water. ”
Rong Wan knew this reason, because Luo Qian also mentioned it when he talked about Feng Bo. It was said that Feng Bo's family had no children and no daughters, and there was no place to live, which was very pitiful, so he asked Feng Bo to follow them all the time.
Feng Bo lowered his head and said with some guilt, "In fact, the old slave and the family depend on each other, but the loser of my family loves to go to the gambling house, and there is no money to pay back if the gambling is lost. ”
Rong Wan didn't know that Uncle Feng had a son in the family, so she had to ask, "Does Uncle Feng want to go home to find someone?" ”
Feng Bo shook his head, "No, I heard from the neighbor who came to Bianjing today to see his relatives that the family has learned that the old slave is working as a coachman for a high-ranking official and nobleman in Bianjing, so he wants to be with the old slave." ”
"Since Uncle Feng's son is coming, it is better to be a companion to Uncle Feng, why is Uncle Feng in a hurry to leave? Although Daddy went, it was just one more person's relationship, and Luofu still raised it. Rong Wan continued.
When Feng Bo arrived in Luofu, Rong Wan was only three or four years old, and Feng Bo watched grow up, and Rong Wan lived a miserable life in the previous life, although Feng Bo was silent, but when he finally dismissed the servants, Feng Bo did not plan to leave, and he had been waiting for her, and he was already like a relative.
Now that Feng Bo is going to leave, Rong Wan can't give up.
Feng Bo hurriedly shook his head, his mind was very resolute, "Lady, the old slave should go, that kid in my family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the old slave doesn't want to cause trouble to his wife and lady, and besides, Bianjing City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, if something happens to him, it's not as simple as someone else setting a fire to burn the house." ”
Rong Wan saw that she couldn't stop Uncle Feng, so she had to reluctantly help him, "Okay, Uncle Feng will tell his mother about the reason, and his mother will agree." ”
Thinking about it, Rong Wan looked at Bai Yao behind her, Bai Yao knew what Rong Wan meant, so she stepped forward, took out the purse on her body, and handed the only hardware in the purse to Uncle Feng.
Feng Bo hurriedly waved his hand and said that he would not accept it.
Still Rong Wan put his face on his face, he had to take it from Uncle Feng, and when he carefully put the hardware in his arms, he pushed out the young man who had been standing beside him.
"Lady, this is Xiao Chu."
Rong Wan raised her head, and her eyebrows really looked like the little boy in her memory, but it didn't reach her shoulders before, and now she is taller than her, I remember that when I first met Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu was only ten years old, and now she may be twelve years old, and Rong Jun is the same age.
Rong Wan nodded and said, "I've grown a lot taller." ”
Xiao Chu is also more like an adult than when he first met before, there is already a little more stability between his eyebrows, less childishness before, even his back is straight, it seems that it has changed a lot in the past year.
Xiao Chu heard Rong Wan's praise, his face was not obvious at first glance, but he was still a little red, his hand kept hanging in front of him, and he bowed his head slightly and said, "Xiao Chu has seen the lady." ”
I remember that he used to call her big sister, and he really grew up.
Feng Bo said on the side, "For more than a year, I followed the wishes of the lady, and showed the books in Langjun's library to Xiao Chu to read, and even asked someone to teach me kung fu. ”
Rong Wan nodded and said, "It's still Feng Bo's teaching." ”
Feng Bo smiled hesitantly, and said, "Lady, as soon as the old slave leaves, Xiao Chu will drive the car for you, he is much stronger than the old slave, and he will definitely be devoted to the lady." ”
Rong Wan nodded, then looked at Xiao Chu and said, "Just as I'm going out, Uncle Feng is going to find his mother, so you can go with me!" ”
Xiao Chu answered, and went to the stable to bring the carriage over.
Rong Wan said to Feng Bo again, "Feng Bo, if you go here, if you have any difficulties, come back, Luofu will still support you." ”
Feng Bo was very moved, and his eyes were a little red. Instantly looked at Rong Wan with mixed feelings, and said incoherently, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
Rong Wan nodded, and explained some things to Uncle Feng, and then went to the inner courtyard by Uncle Feng, Uncle Feng is an old man, in this regard, his mother will definitely treat him preferentially.
Murong Yurao on the side kept watching the others go away, and Murong Yurao looked at Rong Wan at this time. I took a look at it several times. So much so that Rong Wan had to wonder if there was anything dirty on her face, and then she heard Murong Yurao speak, "Awan, it's just a coachman." Why would you be so good to him? ”
Hardware. How many people can't earn hardware for ten years!
Rong Wan just smiled. "Auntie, you have to understand that the more people who don't abandon you when you're poor. The more you cherish it. ”
In Bianjing City, if these people who are officials in the court, I am afraid that in their eyes, Luofu has been reduced to a figure like ordinary people, and it is always Luo Jingyu who comes back from the border pass to be in the limelight, but he is just a left-hand envoy who has been sealed the seventh grade, in the eyes of many people, they are still as low as ants, and they will be trampled to death easily.
Murong Yurao nodded as if she didn't understand, after all, she was born in the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, and throughout the Great Zhou, except for His Majesty and all the princes, the Marquis of Changping was already a great figure, she was born in brocade clothes and jade food, so she naturally couldn't experience the pain of cold food.
As he was talking, Xiao Chu had already driven the carriage outside the gate of the mansion, and when he saw that Rong Wan was still standing in the courtyard, he stepped forward, "Lady, the carriage is ready." ”
In fact, after a closer look, Xiaochu is very different from that time, and I don't know why there are such changes.
It's just that Rong Wan has no time to take care of it now, and seeing that Murong Yurao is still in a daze, she pulled her, and when she came back to her senses, she asked, "Awan, I'll take a carriage with you!" ”
Rong Wan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
It stands to reason that the carriage of the Marquis of Changping is bigger and softer, and it is more comfortable to sit on, I don't know how Murong Yurao had such an idea.
But seeing Rong Wan, who was staring at Murong Yurao's eyes, she said seriously, "Awan, I want to share the hardships with you." ”
Rong Wan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile, "It's not about sharing hardships in the same carriage, you don't need to worry about this little thing, let's get into the car quickly." ”
Murong Yurao dragged Rong Wan, expressing her dissatisfaction with her answer, and immediately said, "I don't want it, I'm just pestering you." As he spoke, he grabbed Rong Wan's sleeve and walked out of the house.
As soon as she left the mansion, she heard Murong Yurao say to the coachman who came with her, "You go back first, I'll go out with Awan, and I'll go back to the house in a while." ”
The coachman looked embarrassed, "Little lady, the maidservant girl beside Mrs. Shi in the mansion has explained, if you want to be small, don't follow the lady." ”
Murong Yurao glared at him and said, "If you want to go back, go back, where are there so many words?" After speaking, he ignored the coachman and went straight into Rong Wan's carriage, and Rong Wan had no choice but to shake her head helplessly.
Xiao Chu lowered his head slightly, waiting for Rong Wan to get into the carriage.
Rong Wan walked around her carriage and whispered to the coachman, "If you are not at ease, follow the carriage, and if there is anything, you can take care of it." ”
There was no other way but the coachman nodded.
Rong Wan got into the carriage, and Xiao Chu sat outside and asked, "Where is the lady going?" ”
Before Rong Wan could speak, she heard Murong Yurao hurriedly say, "Moat." ”
Rong Wan rarely goes out of the city, and the moat in Bianjing has really been seen, I don't know why the moat has a different appearance in autumn, seeing Murong Yurao's look so much forward to it, Rong Wan had no choice but to say, "Go ahead." ”
Xiao Chu answered lightly outside, then raised the horsewhip, and the carriage walked forward unhurriedly, occasionally a breeze blew through the curtain on the car window, and you could see the street outside the car.
"Awan, do you know what the moat is?" Murong Yurao looked at Rong Wan and said.
Rong Wan thought for a while, "On the moat, there must be a bridge!" "Otherwise, how did man enter the city?
Murong Yurao looked at Rong Wan with a sad face, "Awan, there is naturally a bridge on the moat, what I asked is, do you know what else the moat has besides the bridge?" ”
Rong Wan thought about it again, but shook her head, she really didn't know what else could appear on the bridge on the moat.
Murong Yurao obviously didn't expect Rong Wan to say what she wanted to hear, so she didn't ask anymore, "The moat is full of water, and of course there are boats on it." ”
Rong Wan was stunned, speechless for this answer, but can you put a boat on the moat? Perhaps, she hadn't seen it anyway.
"What are we going to do in the moat?"
Murong Yurao smiled mysteriously, then leaned into Rong Wan's ear and whispered, "According to reliable information, Brother Zhan doesn't know which lady he is meeting with on the boat in the moat!" ”
Rong Wan was stunned, but listened to Murong Yurao continue, "But it's late to go out today, I don't know if I can meet it." ”
Rong Wan came back to her senses and asked, "What's the matter?" "Is it difficult to meet with others to make it known to everyone?
"Brother Zhan made a bet with my brother yesterday, the bet is that whoever loses will go to the moat and wait for the beauty, if it is the first beauty to walk to the front of the boat, he will ask the beauty to get on the boat and go around the moat for a quarter of an hour." Murong Yurao explained.
There is no need to ask, looking at Murong Yurao's look forward to it, you will know that Xun Zhan must have lost.
Rong Wan paused, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Auntie, do you want to marry him?" ”
Murong Yurao was startled by Rong Wan, but she couldn't react to Rong Wan's meaning, but she was stunned, so she looked at Rong Wan shyly, stretched out her hand and gently withdrew Rong Wan, "What are you talking about?" ”
Then he listened to her and said, "Brother Zhan is my favorite brother, but it's just a brother, that's all." After speaking, she looked at Rong Wan sadly and said, "Ah Wan, how can you be a famous flower?" Otherwise, how good it would be for you to marry Brother Zhan! ”
Murong Yurao raised her head, looking incomprehensible, "Brother Zhan is so good, why is there no woman willing to marry her?" ”
Rong Wan thought silently in her heart, I am afraid that many girls want to marry Xun Zhan, but Xun Zhan is unwilling. But thinking about it, he can even see the ladies of the Nishang Pavilion very eye-catching, how can other ladies not look at it? What a weirdo.
Seeing Murong Yurao staring at her in a daze, he couldn't wait to drive her to Xun Zhan's side immediately, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was not even as good as the lady of Nishang Pavilion in his eyes, and it was strange to be taken a fancy by him.
However, it has been a short time since Meng Sheng went to Jiangnan, and now he has not returned, and he doesn't know how the things handed over to him by the saint are doing.
Both of them were stunned, but when they heard that the carriage had stopped, they heard Xiao Chu say, "Lady, the moat has arrived." ”
When Murong Yurao heard this, she immediately got out of the carriage, and when Rong Wan went down, she saw that she was already standing next to the moat and blocking the entire river, but there was no one on the river.
Rong Wan walked up to Murong Yurao, looked at the empty moat, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Murong Yurao frowned, "I don't know, when I went to look for you just now, they had just left the mansion, why did it end so quickly?" ”
Rong Wan didn't answer, just thought, if Xun Zhan appeared on this river to meet the beauty, I am afraid that there will be a lot of onlookers, but it is very quiet here, where does it look like someone has come? (To be continued.) )
