"Not bad, not bad! Sure enough, it's very neat! Luo Qinghe stood stiffly in place and endured the blazing gaze of the old lady of the Fang family, feeling uncomfortable.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Mama, you let the eldest young master come to my courtyard, but don't say what it is for!" ”

The old lady understood, and bowed down and went out.

Luo Qinghe thought that he would be liberated after the old lady finished looking, but he didn't expect that Fang Shaoze would have to do it again, but it was not good to contradict the old lady, so he could only stand in place without thinking.

After a while, Fang Shaoze followed his grandmother, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and the grandmothers and maids in the courtyard all had lively expressions.

Fang Shaoze was puzzled in his heart, but suddenly saw a short and beautiful scholar in front of him and said respectfully: "Say hello to the young master." ”

Fang Shaoze bowed his head, and he didn't care, so he wanted to enter the house.

But at this time, he heard the grandmother behind him laugh lowly, Fang Shaoze felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously turned his head and forgot about the scholar.

"Luo Qinghe?!" Fang Shaoze just looked at her, but suddenly recognized her.

Seeing that their young master finally found out, all the maids and grandmothers immediately laughed, and Mrs. Fang also came over with a smile and said, "It seems that this appearance is very good, even you didn't recognize it!" ”

Yueniang on the side was overjoyed, Luo Qinghe's outfit was designed by her personally. Originally, Luo Qinghe had not yet shown the curves of a woman at this age, so if her long hair was tied up and put on a scholar's gray clothes, ordinary people would not be able to recognize her.

But Fang Shaoze didn't know the old lady's plan, but when he saw Luo Qinghe, he was immediately surprised: "Grandma." Could it be that Miss Cheng Luo wants to go with me? ”

"Exactly." The old lady nodded and said, "Grandma is worried that you don't have a clever enough person to help you on this road, and Qinghe's cooking skills are excellent, and your mouth is very picky, and she is just right to cook you some food that suits your taste." ”

Fang Shaoze swallowed his saliva when he heard this, he had already planned to eat badly on the way, and when he saw Qinghe coming, Fang Shaoze was overjoyed.

Yueniang followed the old lady's words and said with a smile: "But I also have something to worry about, when you arrive in Kyoto, please ask the young master to bother to help Qinghe find his father's whereabouts!" ”

Hearing Yueniang say this, Fang Shaoze was relieved.

Originally, Fang Shaoze felt a little embarrassed to let Luo Qinghe cook for him all the way, but now when he heard that she had something to do when she went to Kyoto, Fang Shaoze suddenly felt at ease, and hurriedly arched his hand to Yueniang and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help!" ”

Since Luo Qinghe has to take care of himself all the way, when he arrives in Kyoto, he will definitely not live up to Yueniang's entrustment.

Seeing that the matter had been discussed, the old lady didn't leave two more people, and after a few more instructions, she allowed Yueniang and Luo Qinghe to go home first.

After the people left, the old lady closed the door and the other party Shaoze said: "Originally, I was a little worried that there would be no one to take care of you on the road, but this time Qinghe will go with you, then I will be relieved." ”

But Fang Shaoze was not worried about himself, but said with some expectation: "Grandma, those spices and kitchen utensils or something, do we have to bring some too?" So you don't have to have everything when you cook. ”

Seeing that her grandson knew how to eat, the old lady doted and said: "Grandma will pack everything for you, you just need to think about how to help Luo Qinghe find relatives." ”

Fang Shaoze scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, and his ears turned red

"But..."The old lady changed her words, and after walking to the window to confirm that there was no one around, she closed the window, took out a purse of silver tickets from her arms and stuffed it to Fang Shaoze and said: "You must have collected this ticket, don't let people find out!" ”

Fang Shaoze touched it, he was startled at the time, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, I don't need so much silver!" ”

The old lady shook her head, and stuffed her purse into his hand again: "The price of goods in Kyoto is not as good as that of Luoquan, and the silver in Guangling County is famous for not being spent, so you should take it with you!" Grandma is so secretive because she is afraid that your second aunt will know about jealousy. ”

Saying that, the old lady sighed again and said: "Don't look at the Fang family's big business, but under the turmoil of the previous ten years, my property is almost tossed, these silver tickets are still my dowry and your mother's jewelry when they are exchanged, you must keep it, and don't let your father see it when you go to Kyoto, you must be careful not to let others be moved by this money, and then harm you!" ”

Fang Shaoze didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only bow his head and be silent.

The old lady then took out a necklace of wolf blood agate from the wooden box on the table, solemnly placed it in Fang Shaoze's hand and said, "But this chain grandma left, and now it is also being passed on to you." ”

Fang Shaoze looked at it and said in surprise: "Isn't this the necklace in my mother's dowry?" ”

"Exactly." As she spoke, the old lady led Fang Shaoze to the Buddha shrine in the inner room, and said in a deep voice: "Grandson, I want you to swear to your mother's necklace in front of the Buddha." ”

Fang Shaoze listened, so he followed the old lady's words and put the necklace on the incense table upright, knelt down with a serious face, and followed the old lady to make a promise word for word.

That day, Luo Qinghe was forced to serve the fat head king, and the second lady saw these two people for the first time, but she was a little weak-hearted, so the second lady didn't dare to look directly at Luo Qinghe's face for a while.

But the second master didn't know that his wife was forcing him to become a prostitute, so he forced the second lady to meet with him, saying that this was the only way to be considered well-mannered.

"What did your mother talk about when she asked you to come over?" Before giving the silver, the second old man had an extra heart, thinking in his heart, in case the old lady had already helped once, then he, as a person of the younger generation, naturally could not give more than the old lady.

Last time, it was because the second master rewarded the bracelet that she suffered so much, so Yueniang was somewhat defensive about the second master this time, and said honestly: "The old lady said that she would let Qinghe go to Kyoto with the fourth young master to find her father, and take care of the young master's diet on the way." ”

When the second master heard this, he was somewhat dissatisfied and said: "You are so filial to this girl, why are you willing to let her serve others?" Besides, you have to go as far as Kyoto? ”

"Not really! Otherwise, you can talk to the old lady and go to another person! The second lady echoed.

However, the second lady said this not because she was worried about Luo Qinghe, but because she knew that Fang Shaoze was picky about eating, if there was no Luo Qinghe, then he would definitely not be able to have a good time, so she wanted to try to keep Luo Qinghe and add some blockage to him.

I only heard Luo Qinghe chuckle, and just wanted to scold the second lady, but Yueniang suddenly said: "It's okay, our family Qinghe is not small, I can't be confused in this life and don't even know whether my father is dead or alive, I asked her to go to Beijing to find relatives this time, so that I can know where my father's house is when I mention it in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one could object! Luo Qinghe nodded, admiring in his heart.

But the second lady is not a person who stops, Yueniang has talked about this, but she still doesn't give up, and said in a weird manner: "That being said, but the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, so you can rest assured that your daughter will stay with the fourth young master for so long?" Do you want that reputation? ”

"The second lady has thought too much, and this time Langmo and Granny Wen will also go with her." Luo Qinghe said unhappily: "Could it be that the second lady thinks that as long as there is a maid beside a man in this world, he will do unreasonable things?" ”

The second lady was also worried about the second master's request for a new maid, and as soon as Luo Qinghe's words came out, she just pricked her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

But the second master didn't hear this extraneous sound, but just said through Luo Qinghe's words: "Even if you want to do that, you have to have a maid by your side!" ”

As soon as she heard that her father-in-law was adding fuel and vinegar here, the second lady's face was even worse.

Seeing her stingy and jealous appearance, the second master also felt unhappy, so he stuffed the silver to Yueniang in front of the second lady and said: "These fifteen taels of silver are some of my thoughts, you keep it to pay off the debt, just now my wife also said that she would give Qinghe fifteen taels of silver as a plate, you two don't have to be polite, accept it!" ”

If you don't find me a maid, I'll let you lose your money!" Seeing the second lady's face like eating a fly, the second old man was a little satisfied.

When the second lady heard this, her teeth itched with hatred: she had already wanted to rip half of her flesh for fifteen taels of silver, but this time the second lady promised to go out in front of outsiders, and if she didn't give it, she would be stingy.

The second lady was gritting her teeth to calm the anger in her heart, but she saw the white and chubby Brother An running over and said, "Sister Qinghe, they all said that you are going to go out with my fourth brother!" ”

Although the second lady is disgusting, her son is cute and tight, Luo Qinghe smiled softly and nodded.

Brother An was a little disappointed when she saw it, and said with a pout: "Then I won't be able to eat anything delicious for a long time!" How long will it take you to get back? ”

Luo Qinghe was just about to explain, but the second master on the side preemptively said: "That's right! Since Qinghe has always taken good care of you when she was in Fangfu, and now that she is leaving, don't you want to express it? ”

The second lady finally suppressed the fire, and she rose again, and scolded in her heart: "This old pervert is not satisfied with giving thirty taels of silver, and he even asks his son to pay?" ”

But without waiting for Mrs. Er's mouth to stop her, Brother An, who has always been picky, happily agreed, turned around and ran, and said as she ran: "Wait for me to get it!" ”

Within half a minute, Brother An came back again, stuffed the jewelry box of Huanghuali in his hand into Luo Qinghe's hand, and said, "I don't know if these are enough flowers, but you can take them first!" When you come back, just make me sauce and meat to eat! ”

Luo Qinghe subconsciously wanted to postpone it, but Brother An didn't give him a chance at all, and opened the box directly, only to see that it was full of broken silver, and there were a lot of gold ingots and gold leaves in the middle.

"I can't help it! Brother An'er, I can't spend so much silver......"

"Things in the capital are expensive!" Brother An shook his head when he heard this, and the second master also stood there to stop him, and the old and the young were very united.

The second lady's head was about to smoke, and she had worked hard to save the silver, but she didn't expect it to be given to Luo Qinghe by her own son.

Luo Qinghe didn't want it, but the second lady Yu Guang's face was extremely bad, so she snorted coldly and changed her mind, accepted it happily, and led Yueniang to say goodbye and leave the Fang Mansion.

But the second lady had just lost a sum of money here, and someone came over there who was in a hurry to deliver the money.

"Sister, is Luo Qinghe in the Fang family?" Uncle Gu suddenly arrived at Fang's Mansion.

Under the successive blows, the second lady was no longer powerless to object, but just said wiltedly: "What's the matter, you also came to give her silver?" ”

"Not really!"

This Uncle Gu is also heartless, so he sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and said excitedly: "Sister, the position of the city protector has been obtained!" I thought about the fact that the new official took office without three fires, and now everyone was talking about Luo Qinghe's affairs outside, so Lord Jiang judged the case according to the law, and there was nothing wrong with it, but many people felt that this law was too strict and rigid, but the law was difficult to change, so everyone wanted to do something to help Luo Qinghe pay off his debts. ”

"You don't know! Mrs. Jiang saw that she was about to give birth, but she was still very positive as soon as this matter came out, and said that she would take the lead in collecting money for the Wang family. ”

Uncle Gu shook his head as he spoke, and sighed: "I guess Mrs. Jiang probably wants to earn a good reputation for her husband, so I want to take this opportunity to surround the hearts of the people." No, I wrote the list of donations overnight yesterday, but unfortunately they only owe the Shen family eight hundred taels of silver, and those high-ranking officials and nobles can donate a little bit alone, which doesn't seem generous...... I won't tell you, I have to go to Wang's house to implement this matter quickly, but I can't let others rob me of my credit! ”

The second lady let out a long sigh when she heard this, and didn't bother to pay attention to her eldest brother at all.
