"It's going to snow." Luo Min looked at the gloomy sky, sighed gloomily, and stepped forward gently, with old and dignified steps, stepping on the blades of grass that had long withered, and there was a soft noise. The withered branches on the side of the road, swaying and whining in the cold wind, were like skeleton fingers, stretched out and waved in the sky, a depressed scene.

Since Luo Min received the holy decree to be demoted to Jining yesterday, Luo Mansion began to pack up his luggage, until this morning to send away the carriage of Mrs. Luo back to Beijing, Luo Min is like an abandoned child, overnight, it seems to be a few years older, and his expression is extremely depressed. Only the two old tears that fell before the old lady left really showed his lonely state of mind.

Emperor Dahua's decree was harsh, and Luo Min immediately went to Jining to take office, and also specified that the family would move there, and even Luo Ning and Luo Yuan's siblings would move to Jining with their father. For the sisters and brothers who have an incomparably deep and daring affection for Jinling, how can they not be sad and inexplicable. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the emperor did not let them spend the Spring Festival in Jinling, which is really a little unkind.

Jining is remote, Luo Min is relocated, and everything has not yet had time to settle. A small county, the conditions are naturally not much better. Luo Min didn't dare to let the old mother go with him. What's more, the emperor issued a holy decree and specially sent a close attendant to escort the old lady back to Beijing to recuperate, which was also right on his mind. It's just that on the eve of the New Year, other people's families are reunited, but the Luo family is separated, and it is inevitable that they will be miserable in their hearts. The old lady was very strong, and she was not pretentious, and she only said three words to Luo Min before leaving-diligence, stability, and forbearance. In just three words, it contains countless hopes and expectations, which makes Lin Wanrong admire in her heart.

Luo Min has been an official for many years, and he has long been accustomed to accompanying the king like a tiger, but in the face of this scene, the sigh and desolation in his heart do not need to be said, and Lin Wanrong can also feel it deeply. Seeing Lao Luo's gray hair, his expression was sad. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he shook his head helplessly. Eat the emperor's bowl of rice, you have to put up with his moodiness and be prepared to lose your head at any time.

"yes, it's going to snow. If it doesn't snow, it's not winter. This is the law set by the heavens. No one can stop it. Lin Wanrong said: "Just like people, there is no eternal reunion, but there are countless separations, you were born in this world to suffer." The vicissitudes of personnel, even the emperor Laozi. Nor can it be changed. ”

Luo Min looked at him deeply and said, "Little brother, listening to you, I don't seem to feel which of the two of us is older, and you are sincere." It's not contrived, which makes me wonder. ”

Lin Wanrong and Luo Ning are married, and it stands to reason that he and Lin Wanrong are Weng's son-in-law. This "little brother" is called nondescript, but they feel comfortable in their hearts. This is a testament to the inseparable relationship between the two.

Lin Wanrong smiled: "These are all my blind thoughts, and they have nothing to do with age." ”

Luo Min shook his head helplessly: "Personnel personnel, no one, what's the matter?" You can also watch a little more open, don't think too much, there are still great days waiting for you to enjoy. ”

Look away? Is there anything in this world that is more open than I am? Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, hugged her fist at Luo Min, and the kid was taught.

The carriage clicked and slowly moved forward, Luo Min and Lin Wanrong walked in front, and Luo Yuan and Luo Ning followed behind the two respectively. Luo Cainu looked at Lin Wanrong, her phoenix eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't bear it and didn't fall.

Luo Min's belongings are not much, one carriage is full of poems and books, and the other is a few boxes of clothes, Luo Ning's daughter's household affairs and some calligraphy and paintings, other than that, there is nothing else, and the four words of the two sleeves are Qingfeng.

Lao Luo is a clean official, Lin Wanrong sighed, although there are no people to send each other off, let alone a gimmick like the umbrella of the people, but a Qing official like Lao Luo, who is the best at hiding himself and protecting himself, is a real talent and a real smart person. Lin Wanrong couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up.

"Lord Luo, the emperor's holy decree is urgent, and it is too unreasonable, it seems that it is deliberately intended to be seen by someone. It stands to reason that no matter how much you have made mistakes, you are indeed loyal to the emperor, and he naturally understands it better than anyone else. As long as he is not a mediocre emperor who is completely confused, he will never do such a thing that hurts the hearts of loyal ministers. What's more, there is Mr. Xu maneuvering around, even if you can't avoid your sin, it won't let you migrate before the Spring Festival, I think there must be some hidden secrets in the middle. Lin Wanrong and Luo Min walked a few steps, and when they saw that his expression was still depressed, they explained.

Luo Min shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The heart of the Son of Heaven is something that no one can speculate. Although there is some truth in your statement, it can only be speculation, and outsiders will never know what the emperor is thinking. I originally thought that I was in a superb realm, although I can't say that I don't like things and don't feel sorry for myself, but I also feel that I can treat them normally. But when I was frustrated today, I realized that I, Luo Min, am also an ordinary person, and I will also be angry and complain, which is far from the way of peace! ”

What is not happy with things, not sad with himself, Lin Wanrong sneered. When people eat whole grains, they will be happy, sad, proud, and lonely. This is all human nature, it is the most basic emotion of a person, if you even discard these, is it still a normal person? It's a rock, it's pretty much the same! Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, that is, ordinary people are just obscene.

Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Lord Luo, it's normal for you to have this kind of thought, we are all ordinary people, and if we are frustrated, we will naturally feel this way." However, the emperor will never be so straightforward in doing things, as you said, he should be born to be speculated. Lin Wanrong took out a pencil, found a piece of paper and drew lightly: "My lord, please take a look." This is Jinling, and here, Jining. Further north is the capital. Tell me, is Jinling close to the capital, or Jining is close to the capital? ”

These words have a deep meaning, and Luo Min laughed loudly when he heard it: "You will comfort me, if it is really like what you said, it will be worth it for me to go to Jining to be a small county." ”

Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, looked at the distance on the note, and shook her head helplessly, saying that others are obscene, and Lao Tzu is even more obscene.

Luo Min glanced at him meaningfully and sighed: "For the sake of Ning'er, I don't want you to enter Beijing from the bottom of my heart, where there are many kings and nobles, and thorns are everywhere. If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation from which you will never recover, which is far from being comparable to Jinling. Ning'er treats you sincerely. If you make a mistake, she's afraid she won't be alive alone. ”

Lin Wanrong glanced at Luo Ning, who was following her, her puffy little face was red from the cold, and her lips were biting lightly. There was a little tear in his eyes. Look at him and smile, and snuggle up to him.

Luo Min let out a sigh of relief, and said: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, if you are shackled in Jinling, not only is it a pity for a talent, but even Ning'er must be unwilling." And so it goes. It's a dilemma. Fortunately, you have the blessing of nobles, even if you go to the capital, you should be able to turn evil into good fortune. When I was killed, I felt more at ease. ”

Hearing him talk about some nobles again, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but say anymore: "Lord Luo." Now that we are about to part, you can tell me what kind of noble person is blessing me, right? Save me from being suspicious. If that backstage is big enough. When I arrived in Beijing, I didn't have to be afraid of anything, I just walked sideways. I like it the most. ”

Luo Min laughed and said, "Noble? Mr. Xu Weixu, isn't he a nobleman? This backstage is big enough, right? ”

Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly, you old man fooled me again, became my father-in-law, and didn't tell me the truth.

Luo Min knew what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not that I don't tell you, with the relationship between you and Ning Er, if I could say it, I would have told him honestly." But you can rest assured, with the blessing of these nobles, you can go to Jingzhong - then again, even without the blessing of nobles, with your character, I'm afraid you won't be honest, right? ”

"Don't say that, I've always kept a low profile." Lin Wanrong is colorful. With his unique experience, it is impossible for him to wronged himself, he has died several times, why bother pretending to be a grandson in front of others!

Luo Min nodded and laughed, and asked again, "Are you in the third year of junior high school?" ”

"I guess it's this time, and I made an appointment with the eldest lady of the Xiao family." Lin Wanrong replied

Luo Min glanced at Luo Ning and said, "It's the New Year in a few days, and there are only a few days left before the third year of junior high school, so it's okay." After you settle down in Beijing, I will arrange for Ning'er and Xiaoyuan to visit their grandmother in Beijing, and you will have to take good care of their sisters and brothers at that time. ”

Needless to say, one is a wife who has never been to the door, and the other is a brother-in-law and brother, so naturally they have to take good care of it.

"The new governor of Jiangsu, who is my former colleague, is very good friends with Mr. Wenchang and me. After I leave, he will take care of the Xiao family and the property in your name. Thinking that Lord Xu must also have orders for him, you can rest assured. Luo Min instructed again.

Lin Wanrong didn't worry about this problem. The emperor demoted Luo Min's position, but he would never hand over Jiangsu to others, and he must still be a person in Xu Wei's circle. With the old man Xu Wei here, the new governor must take care of the Xiao family and the property under his own name.

Lao Luo has changed his father-in-law, but it is different, and these little things are all in my heart. Lin Wanrong nodded, and a few thin raindrops fell on his face, cold and cold. He reached out and touched it gently, and the fluff was gone.

"It's finally snowing." Luo Min sighed. The flying snowflakes fell on Lao Luo's gray hair and beard, and a few strands of frost appeared to hang on his sideburns.

Luo Ning hurriedly put on a robe for his father, and gently leveled Lin Wanrong's clothes, looking at him with affection, with a layer of mist in his eyes.

"Explain yourself." At the side of the long pavilion where Xu Wei was farewell, Lao Luo looked at a pair of children and Lin Wanrong, and couldn't help but feel sad. Turning and walking a few steps, he stepped into the carriage and sank into the curtain.

Over there, Luo Yuan and Qingshan said a few words, and the two young men cried together. They formed Hongxing together, and after life and death, the friendship formed in the battle was extremely deep, and now they are facing separation at first glance, and it is naturally difficult to separate.

Lin Wanrong went over and patted the two on the shoulder and said, "You two boys, what are you crying about." Jinling is far from Jining, and the fast horse is only a day's journey, if you want to Xiaoluo in Qingshan, lead the brothers to go over to see, and by the way, the Hongxing branch will be done in Shandong, and in Jining, isn't this done? ”

Qingshan patted his head and suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? Xiao Luo, let's stop crying, you go to Jining to lay the foundation, and I will lead the brothers to kill later. ”

Luo Yuan laughed, moved in his heart, grabbed Lin Wanrong and said, "Big brother, thank you for taking care of me so much, without you." I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

"I didn't teach you anything, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and smoking. Cheating, abduction, and stealing are all self-taught, and have nothing to do with me. Lin Wanrong said with a straight face, and the three of them laughed together. Snowflakes are falling in a flutter. fell on the heads of several people.

Luo Yuan glanced at Luo Ning, who was following Lin Wanrong. Squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Sister, brother-in-law, time is precious, you can talk about it, I won't disturb you." After speaking, he took a few steps forward with Qingshan. Avoid the two of them, leaving Lin Wanrong and Luo Ning to talk.

Luo Ning's face turned red and snorted: "This Xiaoyuan, it's not big or small." ”

"How. Isn't he right? Lin Wanrong pulled her cold little hand into her arms, rubbed it vigorously a few times, and said, "Don't you want to talk to me?" ”

Luo Ning secretly glanced at Di Qiaoqiao, who was standing in the long pavilion from afar, and saw that she was waving to the two of them. She gritted her teeth. His eyes were red, and he couldn't bear to throw himself into his arms anymore. Crying bitterly: "Big brother, Ning'er doesn't want to leave you-" Luo Ning just set a name with him, just thinking about the sweet beauty of the moon before the flower, how did she know that a holy decree had scattered her sweet dreams, and she was going to separate before they got together, how could she endure it?

Lin Wanrong sighed, he and Luo Cainu have always been less together and more apart, and they don't get along well for a few days, and most of the time they are still bullying others, and they feel a little guilty when they think about it. Gently patting her shoulder, Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Xiao Ning'er, don't cry, let people see the talented girl of the famous Jinling land crying like this, others still think I am bullying you again?" ”

Luo Ning snorted, slapped him lightly on the chest and said, "You are bullying me, you are bullying me." From the first time we met, you began to bully me, causing me to think about tea and dinner, and my mind was restless, and I could no longer tolerate anything in my heart. What's even more hateful, I didn't even say a few serious words to you, but I want to separate, big brother, you say, why is my life so bitter? I also want to be like Qiaoqiao and them, be by my eldest brother's side every day, listen to my eldest brother, and never separate—"

This request is very simple, but it can't be realized until I come back from the capital, and I can't bear to leave these girls. Damn, how did I get into the habit of fraternity, it's terrible.

Seeing Luo Ning crying sadly, he whispered in her ear: "Ning'er, didn't you say before that the husband you are looking for can enter the phase and martial arts can kill the enemy?" Do you see how I am, meeting your requirements? ”

Luo Ning sneered, pear blossoms brought rain, looked up at him, and buried his head in his arms and said, "Big brother, it was because Ning Er was ignorant in the past, so she had some naïve thoughts." Big brother, your literary style is incomparable, even if you listen to you, others may not be able to catch up with you after ten years of study. Even if you don't know martial arts, what does it matter, what Ning Er likes is your person, even if you have nothing, I will follow you and follow you for a lifetime, without regrets. ”

Lin Wanrong said solemnly: "Ning'er, in fact, I am completely satisfied with your requirements for both civil and military affairs. Now, I have to tell the truth, Brother Lin standing in front of you is actually a general who fought on the battlefield, once followed Generalissimo Xu Wei to exterminate the White Lotus, was the right marshal of the 100,000 army, commanded tens of thousands of troops, and fought fiercely with the enemy on the front line in Jining. Personally led his brothers, killed the first warrior of the White Lotus, captured the Holy King of the White Lotus alive, and took Jining City lightly. People call me General Baishenglin, an invincible gun, but it's not a blind blow. ”

Luo Ning stared at him blankly for a long time, then suddenly covered his sleeves and chuckled: "Big brother, what you said is as true, if it weren't for the fact that I heard you say more jokes on weekdays, I would definitely believe you." Big brother, what I said before was just a young and confused thing, and Ning'er used to think that this was what she was pursuing. It wasn't until I met my eldest brother that I realized how shallow I was, a person like my eldest brother was the real great wisdom, even if he couldn't go to the battlefield, he was also a hero in Ning'er's mind. ”

Why is it that when I tell a lie, everyone believes it, and when I tell the truth, no one believes it? I've never had a problem with my character. Lin Wanrong shook her head helplessly, with a smile on her face that was more ugly than crying.

Luo Ning chuckled, glanced around, saw that no one was paying attention to him, tiptoed, kissed him quickly on his lips like a dragonfly, his face suddenly turned red like a rainbow, and he turned around to leave.

Lin Wanrong remembered the strong kiss of the girl on the flower boat that day, how could she still fulfill her wish today - it's time for me to take the initiative. He smiled, pulled his backhand, hugged Miss Luo into his arms, found her delicate cherry lips, kissed it fiercely, and the fiery red tongue and sweet fragrance suddenly overflowed between the lips

"Big brother, you must think about Ning'er. When Daddy settles down, I will come to the capital to look for you and wait for me! The carriage in which Luo Min's father and daughter rode swayed away, and Luo Ning's infatuated words still echoed in Lin Wanrong's ears.

"Ning'er, we'll see you in the capital!" He waved slowly at Luo Ning's carriage, and the ground was white, and the flying snowflakes fell on him, condensing him into an immortal snowman
