Chapter 16: Scheming

Luo Xinfang took a serious look at what happened today.

In the morning, news came from the main courtyard, saying that the second brother was reprimanded by Mrs. Luo, and was even punished to kneel.

This scene happened to be bumped into by the father who went to the main courtyard, and the father was furious, but he was exempted from the punishment of the second brother, and then the housekeeper actually sent her the account books and cards of the public middle school.

She saw that she was about to enter the palace, what did it mean to send her the ledger and the pair of cards? She doesn't need to learn to host the feed again.

Looking at the second brother who was wilting and drooping, Luo Xinfang fully understood.

This Luo Xu's is dizzy?

The more Luo Xinfang thought about it, the more angry she became. The reason for her anger was not that Mrs. Luo was a thief, but she didn't expect that this person would be able to persecute her eight-year-old son for the sake of something outside her body.

What kind of temperament the second brother has, everyone in the house knows. He has no ears to hear outside the window, and only reads the books of the sages, which is the most appropriate description for him.

This Luo Xu clan actually ???

Could it be that he can't see that the second brother is too diligent and hardworking, so he has to find something else to do?

Sure enough, as long as you live long enough, anyone can meet you.

Luo Xinfang laughed angrily.

Luo Wenqian saw that the eldest sister's face was different, and explained: "Eldest sister, I ......"

Luo Xinfang waved his hand and said, "Second brother doesn't need to say much, it has nothing to do with you at this time." If Madame tells you anything like that in the future, you can just do as she says. ”

Luo Wenqian was stunned, "Why did the eldest sister say this?" ”

Luo Xinfang thought that he was afraid of being taught a lesson by his father, so he said: "Don't worry, when you get to your father's side, you just have to tell the truth, and your father will definitely not embarrass you." ”

"That's not what I meant. If I had really listened to my mother, wouldn't I have become the unkind and unrighteous? In fact, I came to the eldest sister today to say that I don't have the slightest covetousness for the eldest sister's things, and I won't have them in the future. ”

Luo Wenqian clenched his hands into fists, obviously a little angry.

Luo Xinfang looked at the little person in front of him with righteousness written on his face, and almost laughed out loud again.

Thinking of the second brother's temperament, Luo Xinfang quickly swallowed back the smile on his lips and patiently explained: "Eldest sister knows, you have never had that kind of mind. ”

Luo Wenqian pursed his lips, "Then why did the eldest sister say that?" ”

"The eldest sister is just thinking, now that the second brother has disobeyed the will of the lady, you must feel that you have become the unfilial person, and you are secretly guilty behind your back." Luo Xinfang tapped his index finger on the table, and his tone was full of ridicule.

Luo Wenqian's face turned red, and he choked his neck and couldn't speak.

Luo Xinfang sneered, "I knew that you would be like this, second brother." Since unfilial piety and injustice must be taken advantage of, it is better to choose unrighteousness. ”

Luo Wenqian was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by her words, "Second brother, don't be in a hurry to refute first." I guess Madame meant that she must have asked you to go to your father to talk about it, right? ”

Luo Wenqian was curious: "How did the eldest sister know?" ”

Luo Xinfang glanced at him with disgust, and said, "In addition to this method, can Madam think of something better?" If she could do it herself, she wouldn't have to make it so difficult for you. ”

Luo Wenqian's face was stunned when he heard it.

Luo Xinfang ate another piece of melon and continued: "Since Madame wants you to go, then you can go." Anyway, her father knows what she thinks, and he will never embarrass you. You just have to bring the words to you, and then it doesn't matter to you whether you succeed or not. If Madame grinds you again, you will block back with a sentence of 'mention it more for fear of upsetting your father'. Madame is still afraid of her father. ”

After hearing this, Luo Wenqian said in surprise: "Didn't the eldest sister think about herself at all? If I really did this, wouldn't it be a block for my eldest sister. ”

Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "Then second brother, you would rather be punished than go to your father, isn't it because you are afraid of my eldest sister's mood?" How can I, the eldest sister, let my younger brother be sad for me. Besides, if I don't even have the ability to guard my own things, then I don't have to enter the palace at all. ”

Luo Wenqian was a little moved when he heard this.

Luo Xinfang laughed at him, "Don't be in a hurry to be moved, when the time comes, you have to keep your eyes open and pick your father to say it when he is in a good mood, otherwise I dare not guarantee that you will not be reprimanded." ”

Luo Wenqian smiled and said, "I can save it." ”

After relaxing, Luo Wenqian felt a little thirsty and ate several melons in a row.

"Eat slowly, there's so much more. I'll let Yintian fill you with a plate and take it back. Luo Xinfang said a little helplessly.

Luo Wenqian happily replied: "Okay." ”

Luo Xinfang poked his eyebrows, "You're welcome this time." ”

"The eldest sister and I are sisters and brothers, so polite." Luo Wenqian grinned and finished eating the last piece of melon.

Luo Xinfang glanced at him and said, "Why do I think you came to me today to eat and drink." ”

Luo Wenqian wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "It's rare to have an appetite today, but it's just that the eldest sister's pocket is suffering." ”

Luo Xinfang pretended to be heartbroken and said: "I think that if you come a few more times, second brother, I am afraid that I will not be able to open the pot in this Tinglan Courtyard." ”

Luo Wenqian flattened his mouth, "When I first came, my eldest sister said that even if I came every day, my eldest sister could afford to add vegetables, so I changed my mind after a while." ”

The maids also laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere in Tinglan Courtyard was not cheerful for a while.

Everyone was chatting happily when the people who spoiled the atmosphere came.

Linyi reported outside, "Eldest Miss, Second Young Master, Mr. Qian is here, saying that the master wants to test the school's young master's homework, and let the young master go to the study." ”

Luo Xinfang raised her eyebrows and glanced at Luo Wenqian, with a smile written on her face, "The opportunity is here, take advantage of it." ”

Luo Wenqian was naturally kind and said, "Then the younger brother will leave, and he will come to disturb the eldest sister when he has time." ”

Luo Xinfang smiled: "I am always welcome here." ”

Luo Wenqian bowed and retired, and walked out of Tinglan Courtyard with Linyi.

Yinping stepped forward to clean up the dishes and said to Luo Xinfang: "Miss, our second young master looks honest and upright, and he is a good one." ”

Luo Xinfang glanced at the direction of the courtyard gate and said, "My second brother is smart." ”

Yinping was stunned: "Miss means that the second young master is ......"

Luo Xinfang hurriedly stopped Yinping's words: "Stop." I didn't say that the second brother was bad, I just said that he was smart, where do you want to go. I went to the inner room to copy the women's training, and let the small kitchen make another sweet and sour lotus root for dinner, I ate it very deliciously. ”

The silver screen retreated.

In the study, Luo Wenqian stood in front of his father with his head bowed, without saying a word.

And Luo Hong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot at the moment.

"What did you just say?" Luo Hong asked with the anger in his heart.

"The son said that the eldest sister will enter the palace next month, and some chores may as well be handed over to the mother to take care of." Luo Wenqian tried to keep his tone calm.

Luo Hong sneered when he heard this.

"I didn't see that my good son had so much thought. It's my old father's eyes that are dizzy. ”

Luo Wenqian still kept his head down and remained silent.

Luo Hong turned around, his voice was so flat that he seemed to have no emotion, "Go back, copy the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times, and wash away those dirty thoughts in your heart." ”

Luo Wenqian saluted calmly and withdrew.

Out of the courtyard door of the study, Luo Wenqian almost fell to the ground.

He spoke up! He really said it!

God knows how scared he was just now.

The calm and usual appearance was all pretended by him, but in fact, he was about to squeeze his thighs in the study.

As soon as he entered the study, he felt a dark cloud hang over his head.

My father was in a bad mood, very bad. The coldness around my father was much stronger than usual.

He was a very observant child, and he knew very well that if he brought it up at this time, he would inevitably meet his father's monstrous wrath.

Originally, he planned to mention it again at another date, but after a change of heart, he still chose to say it.

And it turned out to be just as he expected, and his purpose was accomplished.

His father reprimanded him today because he was in a bad mood, and when he regained his strength, he would definitely feel that he was too harsh at that time, and he would feel guilty. Because this matter has nothing to do with him, he was forced to do it under pressure, and he should be a victim even if he counts it.

The eldest sister is smart and transparent, and when the eldest sister knows what he did today, she will be able to completely believe that he really does not have the slightest covetousness for those private properties.

And if his mother knew why he was punished by his father, she would definitely never mention the matter of the eldest sister's private property to him again in the future.

Kill three birds with one stone.

Linyi hurriedly stepped forward to support his young master, looked at the young master's sweaty forehead, and said a little anxiously: "Young master, what's wrong with you?" Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look at you? ”

Luo Wenqian only felt a sudden pain in his thigh, and he must have been pinched by himself.

"No, send me back to the hospital." Luo Wenqian wiped his sweat and glanced back in the direction of the study.

The tea in Luo Hong's cup had already cooled down.

Suppressing the churning emotions in his heart, Luo Hong drank all the tea that had become cold.

After the next dynasty today, General Wei, who had never had much to do with him, actually found him. He didn't expect Wei Tingjun to use this kind of petty fight between children to talk to him.

Although Wei Tingjun said apologetic, his expression was extremely arrogant, where did he seem to come to apologize, but it looked like he had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Luo Hong was also angry at that time, and left after a few perfunctory words to Wei Tingjun.

He hadn't tasted such humiliation in a long time.

The family despises the Hanmen, the Hanmen spurns the family, and the contradictions accumulated by the dynasties and dynasties for thousands of years have made the two sides already on the same footing. But no matter how much this group of old people look down on his humble background, they still have to politely deal with him on the surface.

What these people are afraid of is his status as a pure minister. Who made him work specifically for the emperor?

Above the temple, there has always been no cold door for the upper grade, and there is no family for the lower grade. How can a scholar from a poor family who has no foundation fight against the children of a family who want connections, connections, and resources?

I don't know how many pearls have been dusted under the suppression of the family.

And Luo Hong, who stood out during the reign of the first emperor, opened up a new pattern of the Great Yan court.

Luo Hong can be called a genius in the Shuntong period of Dayan.

Originally, with his talent alone, Dakui Tianxia can be said to have no pressure. It's just that the children of the family who made the list at the same time as him are like carp crossing the river, and Han Sheng, the third son of the old Han family, is also among them.
