As a rule, formal visits to other people's homes should be made in the morning. Qingshu's situation was different, because she sent Luo Xiaorong back to visit relatives. Don't talk about other people in Luofu, just say that Luo Jiumao and Guo are the parents, that is Si'er's heart. If they knew that their son was back, and Qing Shu didn't send him back on the same day, they might be so sad!

The carriage and horses stopped in front of Luofu. When the gatekeeper of Luofu saw Zhou Boyan, he ran over to take the reins, and couldn't help but look curiously at the carriage and horses that followed Zhou Boyan.

At this time, Steward Luo, who followed Luo Xiaorong, came forward with Steward Ding. One of the Luo Fu family members recognized Luo Steward. His eyes widened in astonishment, but he couldn't make a sound because of the excitement.

Steward Luo said with a happy face, "What are you rubbing, don't go in to report yet!" Miss Gu sent Young Master Sun back. ”

One stone startled a thousand waves, and the family probably reacted. Without saying a word, he turned his head and ran inside, and as soon as he ran into the door, he almost collided with a steward who was going out.

This steward's surname is Ning, and he is the steward in charge of the front yard. He saw that Jiading was so reckless, and scolded Jiading.

But I heard the family shouting excitedly, "Steward Ning, Young Master Sun is back, Young Master Sun is back." ”

Steward Ning didn't react for a while, "What nonsense?" "Several Young Master Sun are in the mansion today, what does it mean that Young Master Sun is back?

The family couldn't take care of anything at this time, so he actually dumped Ning and ran inside, "Master, madam, Young Master Sun has returned to the house, Young Master Sun has returned to the house...... Miss Gu came back with Young Master Sun...... "He ran all the way and shouted all the way."

Luo Jiumao and Steward Luo, who were standing in the second gate and talking, were disturbed. Without waiting for Steward Luo to scold, the overjoyed family stopped and danced and shouted, "Second Master, Young Master Rong has returned home, Miss Gu has sent Young Master Rong back......"

Luo Jiumao was taken aback. But he saw that the usually calm and very calm steward had lost his normality and was rushing towards him. He scolded, "presumptuous".

Steward Ning, who came uncharacteristically, hurriedly confessed, and then what he said was similar to what the family said. "Second master, second master, hurry, hurry, Miss Gu sent Young Master Rong back, Young Master Rong has returned home." After he finished his report, he shouted at Steward Luo, who was stunned, "Butler, hurry, hurry, Young Master Rong is about to enter the door, hurry up and prepare to welcome Young Master Rong." He shouted, turned around and ran back. After the transmission, he still remembered to turn around to greet him.

The whole Luo Mansion was shocked by the news of Luo Xiaorong's return. Luo Jiumao raised his feet in disbelief and hurriedly walked to the door of the mansion. Steward Luo was also skeptical, and ran to see the situation. And outside the gate of the mansion, those who saw Luo Xiaorong poking his head out of the carriage immediately rushed up, some invited Zhou Boyan in, some surrounded Luo Xiaorong, the young master Sun, to salute and greet him, and some took a stool and hemmed it down to the car.

At this time, Steward Ning, who had spread the news, had already run out. He began to direct the family to greet Young Master Sun and the distinguished guests.

Butler Luo rushed over, just in time to see Luo Xiaorong stepping on the stool to get out of the car. He burst into tears of excitement. Then, the short and fat man ran over at an unusual speed, and hugged Luo Xiaorong, who was stepping on the horse stool, "Young Master Rong, Young Master Rong, it's really Young Master Rong who is back." ”

Luo Xiaorong's little face flushed. He grinned and asked the old butler who had picked him up, "How is the butler doing?" ”

Feeling cared for by the little master, Steward Luo was a little happy that he couldn't find the north, "Young Master Tuorong's blessing, the old slave has been doing everything well lately, all right." ”

Luo Jiumao came out of the mansion. Seeing the battle outside and the old butler who had lost his manners, he coughed heavily and reminded the butler not to faint. Then, he greeted Zhou Boyan with a happy face, and turned his face to look at Qing Shu and said, "You girl, you didn't even have a letter in advance, but you came quietly, and the whole house was caught off guard." ”

"I've seen my uncle." Qing Shu made a woman's salute, and then said, "The juniors don't dare, the juniors just want to send surprises." ”

At this time, Qingyang and Qinghao came over and saluted Luo Jiumao.

All of a sudden, it was very lively in front of Luofu. When Zhou Boyan, Qing Shu and the others were enthusiastically invited in by the second master Luo Jiumao, Luo Lao Shangshu was coming back from outside.

At this time, the ladies of Luofu led by Mrs. Luo had been alarmed. Guo, as Luo Xiaorong's mother-in-law, couldn't sit still, she was surrounded by the maid and the mother-in-law.

Qing Shu looked at the reactions of Luofu with a smile, and knew in his heart that Luo Xiaorong was very favored in Luofu.

After a while, in the parlor of Luofu. Luo Shangshu and his wife Ye sat on the main seat, Luo Jiumao and other descendants of the Luo family sat in a row on the right side, and Zhou Boyan, Qing Shu, Qing Yang and Qing Hao were arranged on the left guest seat.

Waiting for everyone to sit down, Qing Shu took Qing Yang and Qing Hao to stand in. The three of them walked to the middle of the living room and saluted Luo Shangshu and Mrs. Luo on the main seat.

"Granddaughter Qingshu visits her grandfather and grandmother."

"Grandson Qingyang visits his grandfather and grandmother."

"Grandson Qinghao visits his grandfather and grandmother."

Luo Shangshu smiled from ear to ear, "Good, good, good." "Say hello three times in a row.

Old Madam Luo was also smiling. She beckoned to the three Qingshu sisters and brothers, "Come, come to grandmother." ”

Qing Shu hurriedly took Qing Yang and Qing Hao forward.

Old Madam Luo withdrew a pair of blood-red jade bracelets on her wrists and put them directly on Qing Shu's wrists. Qing Shu had the heart to refuse, but he heard Old Madam Luo say, "The meeting gift given by grandmother is not allowed to be excused." Qingshu had to accept it with trepidation. At this time, Qing Shu didn't know that because of this pair of jade bracelets, he was hated for no reason.

The eldest lord Luo Jiujiang's wife, Qin, looked at what happened with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she was thinking in her heart: As soon as her mother-in-law made a move, she was a pair of priceless jade bracelets, and she looked too highly at Gu Qingshu! Or is there a reason for this?

The second master, Luo Jiumao's wife, Guo, was very happy in her heart. Her Xiao Rong stayed away from the illness because she recognized Gu Qingshu's sister and brother. Therefore, she regards Gu Qingshu's sister and brother as benefactors. The meeting gift given by the mother-in-law is so valuable, which not only shows that the father-in-law and mother-in-law attach importance to the sisters and brothers of the Gu family, but also shows their love for Xiaorong. It turns out that even if she is not under her nose, her Xiaorong is still the one who is the most popular among the grandchildren.

Mrs. Luo, who gave away a pair of jade bracelets, then lightly held Qingyang's right hand with her left hand, and took a pair of palm-sized round jade jade pendants from the tray at the mother-in-law's end with her right hand, and gently put them into Qingyang's hand, "The meeting gift from grandmother, don't say no." ”

Qingyang glanced at Qing Shu. Seeing that Qing Shu just looked at him with a smile and didn't shake his head or hint at anything, he accepted the jade pendant with peace of mind, "Thank you, grandmother." ”

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Luo gave Qing Hao a pair of oval jade jade pendants. Qing Shu took Qingyang and Qinghao back to their seats and sat down.

At this time, Zhou Boyan said in a pantothenic tone, "Only the three of them are likable, aren't the juniors likable?" ”

Old Madam Luo scolded with a smile, "Stinky boy, the old woman gave you a meeting gift back then!" ”

Zhou Boyan smiled and said, "I still want to get some treasures, I don't want you to remember it so clearly, it's a pity!" ”

This caused everyone present to laugh.

After laughing, Luo Shangshu said to Qing Shu, "You girl, you didn't mention such a big thing in the letter when you returned to Beijing, it's really naughty." ”

Qing Shu replied, "Doesn't granddaughter want to surprise you with the old one?" ”

"It's a surprise, do you say yes or no?" Luo Shangshu asked the children and grandchildren next to him.

Everyone said yes.

After talking for a while, Zhou Boyan got up to say goodbye, and left Luofu with Qingshu, Qingyang and Qinghao.

About 200 meters away from the gate of Luofu Mansion, there is a pink sedan chair parked. Around the sedan chair, eight sedan chair bearers stood with their heads bowed and their hands down, four well-dressed maids on their sides, and four other guards with knives followed the guards.

At this moment, the person in the sedan car grasped the edge of the sedan curtain tightly and firmly with a slender hand. Suddenly, the slender hand that was half-exposed released the sedan curtain, and disappeared behind the sedan curtain, never to be seen again. Then, a soft, soft and light woman's voice came from behind the curtain, "Xiaomei, whose lady is that woman?" ”

The tall and thin maid hurriedly replied, "Please forgive the young lady, and the slave will go to investigate." It means that she doesn't know who the other party is, let alone the details of the other party.

The woman behind the sedan curtain sighed leisurely, "Forget it, go home!" "That person is obviously a cold person, and that person will be alienated from the young girl's house wherever he goes, why is it so abnormal today? So unusually to bring a young girl to Luofu?

The sedan car got up, turned around, and soon walked away.

The three Qingshu sisters and brothers returned to Shuyuan with Zhou Boyan. Zhou Boyan wanted to let them rest earlier, so he ordered the maid who was waiting in front of him, "Pass dinner." ”

Qing Shu was lowering his head and playing with the jade bracelet he was wearing on his wrist. Hearing this, she immediately looked up, "Excuse me, we're not hungry." "Luofu wants to keep food, and she finally pushes it off on the grounds that she has just eaten.

Zhou Boyan has his own reasoning, "I naturally know that you are not hungry." It's just that the night is long, and the food used by Shen Shi should make people hungry and uncomfortable in the middle of the night. The kitchen dinner is prepared with porridge, which is easy to digest, you can eat as much as you want, and you can wash up and rest early. ”

Qing Shu felt reasonable, "It's up to you to arrange." ”

The maid who was waiting on the side then withdrew to pass the meal.

Qing Shu hesitated, bit his lip, and finally asked, "Why did Luofu give such a heavy gift?" Do you know why? "Blood-red jade is extremely rare in Da'an. The moment Mrs. Luo put the jade bracelet on her wrist, she felt that it was inappropriate. It's just that she couldn't think of a good reason to refuse at that time, so she accepted it with trepidation.

Qingyang and Qinghao, who were present, listened to it, and involuntarily looked up at Zhou Boyan, as if they also wanted to know the answer.

Zhou Boyan looked at the expressions of the three of them one by one, and couldn't help laughing. "What are you calling Luo Shangshu and Old Lady Luo today?"

"Grandfather and grandmother." Qingyang answered first.

"Isn't that it. Xiao Rong called your sister and brother, and you will take care of Xiao Rong in good health. Is this qiē that you have done more than the value of dead things? Seeing Qing Shu's stunned appearance, Zhou Boyan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile in his eyes, "When I sent you a painting, didn't Luo Shangshu say that he would buy a dowry for you!" Have you forgotten jì? ”

Trousseau? Qing Shu's face turned red for a moment, and he subconsciously turned his face to look at Qingyang and Qinghao.

I saw Qingyang and Qinghao blinking their eyes, and then Qingyang raised the jade pendant in his hand and asked, "Could it be that these are the dowries for my sister?" ”

Qing Shu was stunned.

Zhou Boyan said with a smile, "What is given to you is naturally yours." What is given to your sister is your sister's dowry. With that, he glanced meaningfully at Qing Shu, who was stunned. What about the dowry! She has begun to save for the dowry, and their marriage may be expected to be brought forward.

Qing Shu felt that he was being molested, and he was in front of his younger brother. She was immediately annoyed, but she didn't lose her temper, but looked at Zhou Boyan with a provocative gaze with a smile, "This girl's identity is rising, and the dowry is getting more and more. In this way, when the girl's filial piety expires, the matchmaker who comes to the door to propose marriage is afraid that she will step on the threshold of this girl. At that time, this girl will find that there are so many good men in the world, and they will be dazzled by picking people. ”

Zhou Boyan was choked by her like this, picked on, and then looked at Qingyang, "Except for your sister, who is the best for you?" ”

Qingyang replied simply, "Brother Yan." ”

Zhou Boyan cheekily asked, "Who do you want to be your brother-in-law?" ”

Qingyang was just about to open his mouth to answer, but Qing Shu shouted angrily, "Zhou Boyan, you are not allowed to teach him badly." ”

Zhou Boyan looked at Qingyang with an innocent face, "Do I have it?" ”

Qingyang's answer was to drag Qinghao and leave. He felt that his sister probably wanted to clean up his brother at this time, so he just avoided it.

Qing Shu saw that his two younger brothers were leaving like this, so he was stunned for a moment, and then snorted proudly like a child, and got up to leave.

Zhou Boyan moved faster than her, and when she couldn't react, he reached her side and held her hand. She was about to break away, but he lowered his voice to talk to her, "This is angry?" ”

Qing Shu was busy looking left and right, but fortunately, there were only the two of them in the hall.

"After dinner, I'll go to Princess Jingyang's Mansion to rest. I finally have a chance to be alone, and you can't bear to ignore me? He attaches great importance to Qingshu, and in the capital, where there are many rights and wrongs, he will naturally consider Qingshu's reputation and safety. For the sake of Qingshu's safety, he settled Qingshu on his own territory to ensure that Qingshu was safe. For the sake of Qingshu's reputation, he only stayed in Shu Yuan during the day, and would go to Princess Jingyang's mansion to spend the night at night.

If you ask him why he didn't go back to the eldest princess's mansion for the night? The answer is simple. The eldest princess's mansion is now the only one master, and he has the final say. There is no suitable person who can testify for him, for the innocence of him and Qingshu, and for the fact that there was no transgression between him and Qingshu. It was different when he lived in Princess Jingyang's mansion, there were no less than five people who could testify for him, and all of them were enough.

Qing Shu was naturally unbearable, even if he sometimes spoke hatefully. However, she wouldn't let him go lightly, so she pinched him a few times to relieve her hatred.

They talked for a while and dinner was ready. So, the two had to separate and called Shangqing Yang and Qinghao to dinner. After eating, the three sisters and brothers, who had been tired all the way, washed up and rested early.

Nothing was said all night. After breakfast on the second day, Qingshu asked Steward Ding to confirm the gift, and then took Qingyang and Qinghao out of the house. Zhou Boyan hadn't come over yet, and Steward Zhou didn't dare to slack off, arranged twelve entourage, and personally followed the three Qingshu sisters and brothers out of the house. At this time, Steward Zhou only wanted to serve the girl that his master liked, but he was very glad that he had come out in person after a quarter of an hour.

In the blue sky and daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how many people dare to rob people on the street?
