Chapter 12: Calculation
The person on duty today was Yinping, who was dozing off outside, and when he heard the movement in the inner room, he rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Miss, but you want to be flattering?" ”
Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "I have less for dinner, and now I am hungry." ”
"Slave, I'll go and ask the kitchen to serve you a bowl of noodles." Yinping hurriedly got up.
Luo Xinfang walked to the table and sat down, and ordered, "No need, get some snacks." ”
Yinping answered and went to the kitchenette.
The table was covered with rice paper, and on one side was a stack of women's training that she had copied.
Yinping hurriedly returned, placing a plate of sweet snow in front of her, "Miss, this is prepared on the stove in the small kitchen, you cushion your stomach." ”
Luo Xinfang pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, but the snack was still warm.
"Why is the dim sum hot so fast this time?" Luo Xinfang looked at the silver screen with some confusion.
Yinping replied: "It wasn't so fast, it was the person who was on duty in the kitchen who told the slave maid to heat it on the stove." If the lady wakes up and wants to use snacks, she can use some at any time. ”
Sweet snow melts in the mouth, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth, which is Luo Xinfang's favorite snack.
Luo Xinfang used another piece, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hands and said: "You don't have to heat up snacks every day, it's troublesome, and I don't often get up at night." ”
Yinping smiled: "It's really not hot on the stove every day." It's just that today, the slave maid saw that the young lady had less for dinner, so she asked the kitchen to prepare it. ”
Luo Xinfang praised: "You are as careful as a hair." ”
"This is the duty of a slave and a maid." Yinping replied respectfully.
Luo Xinfang looked at the steady and steady silver screen, and thought of the reckless Yintian.
Yinping saw that his young lady seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked tentatively, "Is Miss thinking about Yintian?" ”
Yintian's eyes were swollen like walnuts when she went back, and she didn't use a few bites of dinner for dinner, she saw all these things.
Luo Xinfang was silent, just nodded lightly.
"Miss doesn't need to worry too much, Yintian is still a little younger in the end, and she is a little less appropriate. The slave will find an opportunity to talk to her tomorrow. Yinping said while helping Luo Xinfang gather his clothes.
"If only one or two of them were as worry-free as you." Luo Xinfang sighed.
Yinping accepted the plate and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mrs. Xian's ability to look up to slaves and maids, there are slaves and maids today." ”
The silver screen was taught by Yang Huaiwei by her side, and she was going to be a big girl for Luo Xinfang. It's just that the second candidate set by Yang Huaiwei at the beginning was not Yintian, but Yinsui.
Yinsui and Yinping are one clever and the other steady, both of them were selected by Yang Huaiwei, and they should have become Luo Xinfang's right-hand man. It's just that things in the world are like white clouds and dogs, changing rapidly, and plans can never catch up with changes.
In the summer when Luo Xinfang was four years old, the fire umbrella was high, the heat was unbearable, and he didn't even see a drop of rain for a whole month. Even the ladies who use ice basins in the palace every day are upset by the hot weather, and their thoughts of competing for favor are much lighter.
Seeing that the crops in the field were about to die of drought, a big rain was belated.
Such a sudden change in the weather is unbearable for the delicate children.
So this heavy rain brought joy to everyone, but it brought a high heat to Luo Xinfang.
This illness came too quickly, and the people around Luo Xinfang were busy.
Silver Spike braved the heavy rain to go to the kitchen to urge medicine, and on the way there was too much hurry, and when he passed the gravel path by the pond, he stepped on a cobblestone, slipped heavily, and broke his hand when he came up an inch.
Later, Luo Xinfang's high fever subsided, but Yinsui's hand was not better.
Yang Huaiwei had no choice but to promise a good family for Yinsui, and then choose a big girl for Luo Xinfang again. picked and chosen, Yang Huaiwei picked the young but honest Yintian.
Liu's mother felt that Yintian was more than loyal and not clever enough, and asked Yang Huaiwei if she wanted to choose someone to put next to Miss.
Yang Huaiwei said: "In the future, when Chun'er gets married, there must always be someone by my uncle's side who will not be constrained." I think Yintian's temperament is very suitable. As for some other things, there is still time, just teach them slowly. ”
Liu's mother suddenly felt that Yang Huaiwei's move was wise.
It's just that God is used to teasing people.
Only a year later, in the early dynasty of the Jinluan Palace, when the ministers were arguing about the construction of water conservancy, the emperor who was in the prime of life fell from the dragon chair without warning.
The civil and military ministers of the palace were in a mess, and in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was only thirteen years old, stabilized the situation.
After the imperial physician gave His Majesty an incurable disease that could only be recuperated and could not be cured, there were many powerful ministers in Beijing who couldn't swallow it.
As soon as the emperor fell ill, many people's minds became lively.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest son of the queen of the main palace, and the foundation is stable. Some petty fights in the royal family can't be avoided, but there are no ugly things about fratricide, and the emperor's late season is saved.
Later, the crown prince Xiao Ye was in charge of the country, except for the prince's younger brother Kang Wang Xiao Yu, the rest of the princes were all sealed.
The situation has been decided, and the courtiers have also made their own small calculations. Since it was only a matter of time before the crown prince ascended the throne, there were some things that they had to think about in advance.
It's just that the first emperor hasn't gone immortal after all, and some things are too obvious but not beautiful, so when Queen Lin chose a concubine at the age of seventeen for His Royal Highness the Prince, she only chose a concubine and a side concubine for His Royal Highness the Prince. The posture of not admiring authority was made ten out of ten, and the first emperor was coaxed to be happy, and dragged his sick body for several more years, and he did not die until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was twenty-two years old.
When the crown prince ascended the throne, Luo Xinfang was fourteen years old.
At that time, she didn't know that the name of being the housewife was destined to be lost to her in this life.
Thinking of this, Luo Xinfang's eyes dimmed a little.
"Miss, it's cold at night, the slave and maid will help you back to the couch to rest, and you can rest assured that Yintian's affairs will be handed over to the slave and maid." Yinping was afraid that Luo Xinfang would not be at ease, so he made another guarantee.
Luo Xinfang also fell asleep at this time, yawned, and let Yinping serve to rest.
At dawn the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Luo Xinfang got up.
After cleaning up, Luo Xinfang passed breakfast. Maybe she was really hungry last night, but she used an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast today than usual.
Yinping breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at it.
After finishing breakfast, Luo Xinfang sat down in front of the bookcase and continued to copy "Women's Training". Now that she has been punished and grounded by her father, she doesn't have to go to Mrs. Luo to say goodbye, she feels more convenient.
The one in the main courtyard didn't think so.
Hearing that Luo Xinfang was punished by the master, Mrs. Luo's heart was never happy, as if the birds and birds under the eaves in the early morning were more pleasant.
This Luo Xinfang usually has eyes on the top of her head, and she is as proud as a peacock, but now she has been severely reprimanded by the lord and grounded, which really makes her take a big breath.
Mrs. Luo was in a very good mood.
Mother Du couldn't help but remind her when she saw it: "Madam, it's okay for us to have a good time in the yard in private, but we can't let the master see it, otherwise the old man will annoy the lady again." ”
Mrs. Luo listened but disagreed, "Mother Du is too worried." The eldest lady of our family made the master unhappy, and was reprimanded and grounded, and now the master has those thoughts to defend her. Then he picked up a grape and ate it in a good mood.
Mother Du was choked by Mrs. Luo's words, but she didn't know what to say. I thought to myself that my wife was on the rise now, and she would be annoyed by saying too much. Let's wait for Madame's energy to fade.
Mrs. Luo slapped her thigh as if she had suddenly thought of something, and said, "Mother Du, you have reminded me, now is a good opportunity!" ”
Mother Du was stunned for a moment, and secretly screamed in her heart, "What kind of opportunity is Madam talking about?" ”
Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "Naturally, it's a good opportunity to let the troublemaker in Tinglan Courtyard get money!" I'm going to talk to the master, but there won't be this shop in this village. After speaking, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, intending to get up.
Mother Du was in a cold sweat when she heard this, and hurriedly stopped Mrs. Luo, "Madam, don't worry, the young master should come to greet you in a while, and it's not too late for you to go to the master after seeing the young master!" ”
Thinking of Luo Wenqian, Mrs. Luo smiled a little more.
"That's what Du's mother said. Fortunately, Mother Du stopped me and took the young master with her, and the master would definitely agree. I'm dizzy. He leaned lazily in the chaise longue.
Mother Du bowed her head and didn't say a word, but she secretly prayed in her heart that the young master was coming, but she must stop the lady, and don't let the lady go to the master.
Over the years, why is the master tired of his wife, these maids and women around his wife are like mirrors in their hearts.
It's not because Madame always cares about the eldest lady's things!
But Mrs. herself just can't figure it out. The maids were afraid of being angered by their wives, so they all pretended not to know. Only she occasionally mentioned a few words to her wife.
Mother Du is Mrs. Luo's nurse, and Mrs. Luo got married and followed her as a companion, she knows Mrs. Luo's temperament better than anyone else.
My wife has been an unenlightened person since she was a child. Jin Yuliang said that when she reached her, it became nonsense, even if she recognized a thing, even if it was wrong, she would not change it, and she would not shed tears when she saw the coffin.
The prefect's wife originally had the idea of letting her daughter marry low, so that even if her daughter had many problems after she got married, her husband's family would not be able to do anything to her own daughter because of her mother's strength.
I didn't expect that the prefect would use all means to catch up with Master Luo for his career, and the prefect's wife couldn't stop it, and a few of her worried white hairs were grown.
Thinking of Mrs. Du's temperament, Du's mother is really speechless.
Mother Du was thinking about it, when a little maid outside came in and said, "Madam, the young master is here." ”
Mrs. Luo sat up straight, a little excited, "Quickly call the young master in." ”
The curtain of the main courtyard moved, and Luo Wenqian walked in.
"Mother." Luo Wen bowed modestly.
When Mrs. Luo saw her son, she was even more overjoyed and hurriedly let her son sit down.
Before Luo Wenqian could sit down, Mrs. Luo couldn't wait to speak: "My son, your great opportunity is coming." Did you know that the one in Tinglan Temple was grounded? ”
Luo Wenqian had a headache when he heard this.
