Chapter 54: The Aftermath
Since the last time I came over, I mentioned his father's illness, and these ten days have passed, and this matter is afraid that it has been a certainty for a long time, but now it is just an early arrival.
It's just that she has been crying because Xiao Chu has been crying, and suddenly remembered that her father was about to die, and her heart was also very sore, after a long time, she came back to her senses, Xiao Chu just silently lowered her head and stopped crying.
She slowly squatted down, looked at Xiao Chu and said, "Xiao Chu is alone, you have to be stronger." ”
Xiao Chu nodded, looking at her with teary eyes, "Actually, the day Daddy went, Xiao Chu had been crying for a long time, but when I saw my sister today, I don't know why, Xiao Chu wanted to cry." ”
Rong Wan nodded, she believed that Xiao Chu was strong in the days when his father just passed away, but when she saw the people who cared about him today, she couldn't help it, so she cried.
"What are your plans for Xiao Chu in the future?"
Xiao Chu raised his head, glanced at Rong Wan, and asked cautiously, "Can Xiao Chu follow my sister all the time?" ”
Rong Wan really wanted to train some people for herself, but Xiao Chu was still young, and he couldn't come forward for some things, so he thought about it again and said, "Xiao Chu can be literate?" ”
Xiao Chu nodded, "My mother has been teaching Xiao Chu to learn words since she was five years old, but Xiao Chu has only been learning for three years, and my mother is gone." Speaking of which, Xiao Chu was a little sad.
Seeing Xiao Chu's appearance, she hurriedly unveiled her words and said to Xiao Chu, "From today on, you will live with Feng Bo, I will order someone to send you books, these days, you should study in the house first!" ”
Because the Qi family wanted Luo Jingyu to be admitted to the top prize, Luo Jingyu's study already had many books.
When Xiao Chu heard this, he immediately smiled, and thanked Rong Wan repeatedly, and Rong Wan explained a few more words to Xiao Chu, and then asked Feng Bo to arrange it.
She turned around, remembering that her father was still in the study in the outer courtyard at this time, so she walked towards the study, and sure enough, she saw two young servants who were used to serving her father standing there.
Seeing that the little maid didn't stop her, she knew that her father was waiting for her, so she walked in.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered, Luo Qian's closed eyes slowly opened, looked at her and said, "Wanniang, come and sit." ”
She had talked to Meng Sheng just now, and she was not interested in why Meng Sheng came to propose marriage, but her father would even tell him about his imminent death, which really surprised her, "Daddy, how could you tell Meng Jialangjun?" ”
Luo Qian knew that she would ask, so he sat up straight and said patiently, "Although I am optimistic about Meng Sheng, I am afraid that if I don't say it earlier, he will complain about you in the future, if he no longer proposes marriage, he is not a good person." ”
Rong Wan understood Luo Qian's considerations, the same as what Fang Cai had thought about in his heart, "Ah Wan knows." ”
Luo Qian sighed, "Wanniang, you are very smart, these things, I'm afraid you can figure it out as soon as you think about it, but some things must be hidden in that blur, so that they will be beautiful, you are too divine." ”
Rong Wan looked up a little incomprehensibly, Zi said, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, why do you know and pretend not to know, but pretend to know if you don't know, she doesn't understand.
Luo Qian knew that one or two sentences were indescribable, so she simply didn't say it again, only said that she would understand this truth in the future, so she said something else, "A few days ago, I taught people to go to Suzhou to deliver a letter quickly, and your uncle will arrive in these two days, and you don't have to worry about what happened to me after me." ”
Rong Wan didn't know that her father had already sent a letter to her uncle, and she didn't know what kind of attitude the uncle would have, "Then brother, he?" ”
The elder brother has been training at the border pass, and the uncle must know it, and now that the uncle knows that his father's time is short, he will also think of informing his brother anyway.
Luo Qian shook his head, "Your brother is at the border, Your Majesty has always wanted to unify the country, at this time there must be a continuous war, you can't use this to disturb your brother's heart, and if you are a deserter on the battlefield, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Rong Wan is very clear about this matter, otherwise she wouldn't have wanted her mother to write to her brother from the beginning, so that her brother would not be able to see his father for the last time.
Luo Qian didn't know what he was thinking, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I originally thought that if I left, your mother would take you back to Suzhou, and the old lady would take care of you." I just thought again, first, your mother's foreign family is here, and she must not want to leave, and you have already made a marriage, and it is very inconvenient to go back, so I have already informed you in the letter that my uncle does not need to take you back to Suzhou. ”
Rong Wan nodded, she didn't want to go back to Suzhou, if she went back to Suzhou, then she couldn't find out about her father's murder, how could she be willing to let her father die in vain.
"After my death, Your Majesty will definitely reward you with some money for comforting you, and when your brother has a real position in the army, you will be better off, no matter a year, two years, Wanniang, you must learn to be patient, your mother's heart is a little high, I'm afraid she can't bear this, if there is any banquet in the future, you don't have to let her participate."
Speaking of this, Luo Qian paused for a moment, and said, "Naturally, your mother will not listen to you, but in the two years of the funeral, you can't participate in the banquet, and you can delay it for another two years." ”
Luo Qian began to explain what happened after her death one by one, Rong Wan just listened carefully, she knew that her father was not worried about them.
"During the period of filial piety, officials generally have to return to their ancestors to keep filial piety, but now that Your Majesty is heavy on martial arts, your brother must stay in the army for two years, and when the filial piety period is over, he will be rewarded according to his labor."
Luo Qian also made enemies in the court, which is to tell them that someone will fall into the well during this period, and they only need to hold on for two years to be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon.
Then, Luo Qian's voice was lower, "Wan Niang, if it weren't for the fact that I was about to leave, your grandfather would not have agreed to your uncle's entry into Beijing, and in the next two years, you don't have to think about them anymore, and you don't need to have too much contact with them, if you really can't survive in Bianjing, and you go back to Suzhou, you won't go back to Bianjing again." ”
He originally thought that the old lady just didn't like to be an official, but when he sorted out the file before, he saw some cats, which made him feel a little frightened, and the next day he turned over the file, he was assassinated, and then remembered that the old lady avoided the snake and scorpion in Bianjing, but now that he has stepped into this situation, he can never turn back, and he will leave at this time, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion.
His words made Rong Wan's heart full of doubts, but he didn't ask at this time, so he waited even longer, "Daddy, is there something wrong with our Luo family?" Grandfather doesn't want his father to be an official, I'm afraid it has something to do with it! ”
Luo Qian knew that Rong Wan was smart, but he didn't know that Rong Wan had long been suspicious of this matter in his heart, but he didn't know about it, so he frowned and shook his head, "I don't know for my father." ”
Rong Wan knew that her father was telling the truth, and if there was anything true, her father was afraid that he would not be able to be an official with such peace of mind.
"Wanniang, I know that you are smart by nature, but in this Bianjing, don't be too showy, it will inevitably attract resentment, Taoguang is the right way." Luo Qian said earnestly.
Rong Wan nodded, if she is too smart, she will be easy to break, she has always known this truth.
