Chapter 262: Clarifying the misunderstanding
Li Ruojin got up to say goodbye, Luo Shuangyi sent him to the door, only to see the old lady on crutches, followed by Luo Wang Ye towards his room.
"Grandmother, Dad, why are you here?" Luo Shuangyi hurriedly walked down the steps to greet him, remembering the misunderstanding caused by the love poem, and couldn't help but worry that they were here for this.
The old lady smiled, and the folds in her eyes deepened: "Of course, your father and I are here for your business." ”
Lord Luo glanced at Li Ruojin carefully, and snorted coldly in his heart, this is the stinky boy who abducted his daughter's heart? That's not all it looks like.
Although he thought about it like this, he couldn't help but ask a few words about Li Ruojin's current situation.
Knowing that he had a good career, after some conversation, he found that Li Ruojin spoke extraordinary, and Prince Luo gradually showed a satisfied gaze.
He didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly to Li Ruojin: "You are not too old now, when you reach the age of marrying a wife and having children, since you can come to visit, you must be in love with my daughter, and now that this kind of thing has happened, the marriage will not be delayed, so I will come to the door to propose marriage on the next day, this king thinks that tomorrow will be a good day, what do you think?" Li Gongzi. ”
Luo Shuangyi heard her father's shocking words, her face suddenly turned red, and she helped Li Ruojin to relieve the siege and said: "Li Gongzi, didn't you say that there are still urgent matters waiting for you to deal with in the house, you go first, and I will explain the rest to my father." ”
Li Ruojin arched her hand: "Thank you." ”
He threw down these words and left in a hurry, and Lord Luo thought that he didn't want to be responsible, so he blew his beard and glared angrily: "Is there anything urgent that you have to deal with now?" This Li Ruojin, in my opinion, he doesn't want to be responsible at all. ”
The look on the old lady's face was not good-looking, and she leaned on crutches and said, "That's it, let's discuss this matter again!" ”
"Grandmother, Dad, you really misunderstood." Luo Shuangyi defended herself that the matter between her and Li Ruojin was originally made out of nothing, and she couldn't cause Li Ruojin to lose her reputation because of herself.
"What's the misunderstanding? He came to the door in person, isn't this a disguised admission of your relationship! Lord Luo said with a slightly gloomy face.
Luo Shuangyi was helpless, but she didn't expect her to propose to see Li Ruojin, which made her father and grandmother even more misunderstood.
After explaining the matter from beginning to end, she turned her head and instructed Xiaoque to prepare a pen and paper, and then turned back to Lord Luo and the old lady and said, "So, father, grandmother, this matter is really a misunderstanding, Li Gongzi and I are innocent, and Li Gongzi already has a favorite girl." ”
When the old lady heard this, she clenched her crutches: "Do you have a girl you like?" Which girl? ”
"It's his cousin, the county lord of Anyang." Luo Shuangyi said truthfully.
Lord Luo was suspicious in his heart, and was silent without saying a word.
The old lady was puzzled: "In this case, why did you write to him?" ”
"It's even more of a misunderstanding. Yi'er wanted to match the county lord and Li Ruojin, so she wrote a letter to encourage Li Ruojin, but who knew that the letter of encouragement turned into a love poem. Yi'er felt that someone was making a hindrance, so she asked the little county lord to find Li Ruojin to confront her face-to-face, and Li Ruojin said that the government had not received my letter that day. Luo Shuangyi finished the misunderstanding in one breath.
Xiaoque came out with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Luo Shuangyi immediately took the pen and paper and waved his hand on the stone table in the courtyard to write a love poem, which was exactly "The mountains and trees have branches, and the heart is happy and the king does not know".
She put the poems she had written on the table, and took out the love poems that Prince Luo had brought back from outside from her arms.
"Grandmother, father, you see, the handwriting on these two pieces of paper seems to be the same, in fact, there are still many differences when you look closely, if you don't believe Yi'er, you can find someone who identifies the handwriting to see." Luo Shuangyi said firmly.
Lord Luo hesitated, but still felt that his daughter was trying to save her reputation, so she quibbled, and said what was in her heart: "Even if it is written by the same person, it is impossible to achieve exactly the same handwriting." ”
The old lady was displeased when she heard this: "When did Yi'er tell us a lie?" If you suspect your own daughter, the old man will call a handwriting appraiser to come. ”
Seeing that the old lady was angry, Wang Ye Luo said two good words with a smile, but the old lady didn't buy his account with a cold face, and urged someone to find a handwriting appraiser.
While waiting, the old lady asked Luo Shuangyi to accompany her to talk.
After a while, the handwriting appraiser followed the little guy. The appraiser was a man in his fifties, dressed in a blue cloth shirt, with semi-round glasses in his left eye, a goatee, and a magnifying glass around his neck.
"The villain gives the old lady, Miss Wangye, please say goodbye."
The old lady nodded: "Well, you can see if the words on these two pieces of paper are from the same person." ”
"Yes."
After the appraiser responded, he first picked up two pieces of paper and compared them with the place where there was a light source, then put them back on the stone table, took out a magnifying glass and examined them carefully.
Seeing the brush on the table, he picked it up and asked first: "Don't you mind if I make marks on paper, right?" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to do it." Lord Luo replied in a low voice, looking at the appraiser without blinking.
About half of the incense burnt time, the appraiser put down the brush, picked up the one written by Luo Shuangyi on the left and said: "Judging from the villain's many years of experience, the one on the left is written by the main one, the handwriting is beautiful and graceful, it is a woman's word, and the one on the right seems to be imitated with heart, but unfortunately I didn't learn the essence, and deliberately imitated it with a board and a glance, and there was less softness." ”
After listening to the appraiser's words, the old lady was satisfied, and ordered someone to take him to receive the reward, and after the person left, she looked at Lord Luo: "Now you should believe it!" ”
Lord Luo is still skeptical, he feels that the words of the appraiser alone cannot determine the truth or falsehood, and now there are rumors outside, even if the love poem is fake, how can the people in Beijing believe it?
He didn't dare to dismiss the old man's intentions, and chose to keep silent.
Luo Shuangyi saw that her father still didn't accept this matter very much, and she was helpless, it seemed that only by finding the person who insulted her reputation behind her could she eliminate misunderstandings and rumors.
It's just how can she find that person? She didn't even know why the man had done such a thing. Thinking like this, Luo Shuangyi couldn't help but think carefully about whether he had offended anyone recently.
At this moment, the housekeeper of the palace hurriedly entered the courtyard and came to them to report: "Lord, old lady, there is someone at the gate who is guilty of asking for something, it seems that he is here for something, and the little one does not know how to do it, so he has come to ask the prince." ”
The old lady held Luo Shuangyi's hand and signaled, "Go and have a look." ”
Several people came to the east gate together, and many people had gathered outside the door to watch the excitement, pointing at the man kneeling on the ground.
Luo Shuangyi looked over curiously, and the strange man slapped himself left and right, and read "I'm guilty, I'm guilty."
The old lady thought that the people below had offended Lord Luo, and said a little unbearably: "As a prince, you should be considerate of the people, even if you do it wrong, you should be more forgiving, don't push people too hard." ”
"The son was wronged, and the son didn't know this person."
"Is this ......," the old lady guessed even more strangely, "could it be that you have forgotten?" ”
The man suddenly kowtowed three times: "Lord Luo, the villain is here to confess." It was the villain who was greedy for fun that day, imitating Miss Luo's handwriting and writing a love poem, and pasting it in the place with the most people to appreciate, but I didn't expect Miss Luo to become the target of public criticism......"
The old lady's face changed, and she asked in a deep voice, "Why are you doing this?" Do you know how important a woman's reputation is! ”
"The villain knows his mistakes, the villain has been obsessed with humanoid handwriting recently, so he thought about whether he could fool everyone, but he didn't expect things to be so big." The man was sincere.
Luo Shuangyi only felt strange when she heard it, how could an ordinary person have such courage to copy whose handwriting is not good to learn from her, she only felt that the man was telling a lie, and subconsciously looked at the crowd.
The familiar white-clothed jade crown really appeared in sight as guessed, and I saw Tang Shu standing tall and jade, standing particularly conspicuous in the crowd, holding a folding fan in his hand and shaking it gently, very elegant.
After looking at Tang Shusi, Luo Shuangyi immediately understood that he was helping him out of the siege.
Nodding gratefully to Tang Shu, when Luo Shuangyi looked at the place where Tang Shu was standing again, the person had disappeared.
Luo Shuangyi looked at the man kneeling on the ground, knowing that he was found by Tang Shu to help him, he didn't want to embarrass him, so he said: "Since the misunderstanding is clear, this matter will be settled, if there is a next time, I will never spare it." ”
The old lady didn't comply, feeling that this incident had caused a lot of harm to her granddaughter, and snorted coldly: "How can you cheapen him like this!" ”
Lord Luo's face was ugly, and when he thought of his daughter being talked and laughed at behind his back, he felt bad in his heart, and said calmly: "This matter can't be just like that." ”
The man kowtowed vigorously to admit his mistake, and the discussion of the surrounding people became louder and louder.
"The dignified prince, don't you have a heart for people at all?"
"Impossible! Lord Luo is broad-minded, and he shouldn't have to worry about such things. ”
"That is, I believe that the prince will deal with it mercifully."
Luo Shuangyi snickered in his heart when he heard this, these people can't be the water army invited by Tang Shu, right?
The words of the people reached the ears of Lord Luo, and Lord Luo hesitated in his heart, if this person is severely punished, the people will definitely say that he is indifferent and unkind, if he is not severely punished, how can he be worthy of his daughter!
Luo Shuangyi saw that her father was in a dilemma, and said at the right time: "Dad, if the people's hearts are reversed, it will be harmful to you and not beneficial, according to your daughter's opinion, forget about it, anyway, the love poem did not cause too serious harm to your daughter." ”
Lord Luo was moved: "Dad really didn't hurt you in vain." ”
Seeing his daughter think about herself so much, he was moved and strengthened to punish this person severely. Just as he was about to speak, Luo Shuangyi drove the person away.
Lord Luo was helpless: "Daughter, I really wronged you." ”
The old lady sighed, tossed for a long time, she only felt that her body was tired, and when she saw that things had calmed down, her hanging heart finally let go.
"I can't stand it anymore, I'll go back to sleep for a while, and you guys will go about your own business." After saying that, the old lady let the maid help her out.
The farce ended, but the rumors did not subside.
