Chapter 113: Every man has his own way to go
Today, another matchmaker came to the door to kiss, Luo Qing happened to be playing with Luo Rulan under the porch outside the flower hall at this time, and she listened to it all over the place.
It is a matchmaker who comes to the door of the solemn house.
The dealer has an inn in Tanzhou, which is not a rich party, but he does not have to worry about food and clothing, but he is worried about the end of business.
Zhuang Zhuang failed to win the first place in one fell swoop, and he had to wait for two years to calculate, Song Yujing couldn't look down on their family, so he refused in one bite.
Luo Qing remembers solemnly, and also knows some of his thoughts about Luo Rulan, in her opinion, this solemnity is also a person who understands and is worthy of trust, but it is not that she wants to marry herself, no matter how she looks at it, it is useless.
What's more, after going through the affairs of Brother Wan and Yige, she doesn't want to be a matchmaker anymore.
She quietly looked at Luo Rulan's expression, but saw that a trace of shyness rose between her eyebrows after hearing the matchmaker's solemnity, but when Song Yujing helped her categorically reject this parent, the vivid emotions on her face suddenly disappeared.
She bowed her head slightly, not saying a word.
Luo Qing sighed in her heart and asked tentatively, "Fourth sister, what do you think?" ”
She always looked at Luo Rulan.
"I see that the banker's son is good, but he is a person who distinguishes right from wrong, and he is sincere to you."
Luo Rulan pouted and didn't say anything.
Luo Qing didn't say much anymore, outsiders said a thousand things and ten thousand, but it was not as good as her own determination.
On the way back hand in hand, Luo Rulan could be regarded as speaking.
"Fifth sister, I know what you mean, I went back yesterday and thought about it all night, but I'm a concubine, I don't want to, why? I'm going to marry better than Luo Ruyan. As for the solemnity, he ...... He doesn't want to be aggressive, and I don't want to ......."
It is rare for Luo Rulan to say this, and it is even more rare to confess herself like this, obviously she has really thought about it and has her own choice.
Luo Qing didn't want Luo Rulan to regret it in the future, so she had to say a few more words.
"Fourth sister, I don't think Zhuang Gongzi is not unenterprising, but he is just open-minded. You ......"
"Why don't I marry him, dealer, crops? What will the child be called in the future? Pretending to be serious? Or pretend to be kind? ”
As she spoke, Luo Rulan buried her head and shook her head again.
"Don't marry, don't marry."
This scene fell in Luo Qing's eyes, it was like Luo Rulan's self-deception, as the saying goes, if a person wants to pretend to be asleep, you can't wake up no matter what, and she can only do this.
She only hopes that Luo Rulan will not regret it in the future.
Zhuang Yan really likes Luo Rulan very much, no, the matchmaker didn't come the first time, and the second time she came, the second time she didn't say it, and she changed to a matchmaker, and she came four or five times before and after, which made Song Yujing one head and two big.
She also asked Luo Rulan in private, and Luo Rulan rarely lied to her, saying that she didn't know her.
Song Yujing was even more annoyed, only to feel that this solemn and ill-intentioned just wanted to climb the high branches of their family.
She planted a heel in Luo Wen, and she didn't want Luo Rulan to marry low again no matter what.
Luo Rulan saw that her mother was so worried about this matter, and she had a few thoughts in her heart, and she actually wrote a letter by hand to give it to Zhuang Yan.
She was afraid that the maid next to her would tell her mother about it, so she had to quietly come to find Luo Qing.
Luo Qing looked at the letter she gave herself, and could probably guess what was written in it, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”
Luo Rulan bit her lip and nodded after a while: "Think about it, as my mother said, what I am most afraid of is that I will look away and marry low, and that person will dislike himself in the end." He and I are not all the way after all. ”
Luo Qing instantly understood the meaning of Luo Rulan's words, which was talking about the master's mother marrying her father.
She couldn't resist her, so she agreed to the matter and asked Qingxing to go to Qingyinguan to deliver the letter.
After solemnly getting this letter, he was excited, and immediately opened it to read it, but when he saw the contents of the book, he was greatly disappointed.
Luo Rulan's letter was written simply, only saying that she was the daughter of the family, and she would never marry someone with a lower family background than her own, and there would be no more.
"Not a word or a sentence says anything about my heart." After Qingxing came back, she said to Luo Qing, who was still serving blood and tears, "Zhuang Gongzi only said this sentence after reading the letter, and he didn't even smile on weekdays. ”
Luo Qing stopped building rhizomes for blood tears, put the scissors aside, sat on the stool without saying a word, and stared at the blood and tears on the table in a daze.
Hongmei saw her like this, and her heart panicked.
"Girl, don't think too much, everyone has their own life, the four girls think like this, no matter how much you think about it, it's in vain."
Luo Qing's eyes became more and more confused, and his words were also heavy.
"I just feel that it shouldn't be like this, Yige and Brother Wan, the fourth sister and Zhuang Gongzi, the words are all deceitful, not that the two can come together. You say, will my brother and I also have so many helpless and helpless people? ”
She lowered her head and looked at her little white hands.
"I'm really scared."
Hongmei hurriedly whispered and comforted: "No, the prince is wise and decisive, no one dares to provoke him, as long as the prince is in one day, he will definitely not let the girl fall into such an unfavorable situation." ”
But I'm afraid he'll be in a bad position because of me.
Luo Qing didn't say this, she just looked up and smiled at Hongmei, saying that she was fine.
Before Luo Rulan's family affairs were settled, a letter came from Qinghe's hometown, saying that Luo Qing's great-grandmother, whom she had never met, was about to die, and wrote to them to go back and take a look.
Luo Qing has heard that the mother-in-law on Mrs. Luo's head, that is, her great-grandmother, is actually the continuation of her great-grandfather's marriage, they are the big house, and the second room was born to that great-grandmother, and later Luo Wen was promoted to a Beijing official, and the great-grandmother did not follow, but lived in her hometown with the second room.
Mrs. Luo didn't do much filial piety in front of people, even if she didn't have much affection for her, but now that this great-grandmother is going, Mrs. Luo, the daughter-in-law, should go back and take a look.
It is very likely that this trip is to go back to her hometown for funeral, and it is impossible for Mrs. Luo to go on the road alone, thinking that these juniors have never returned to Qinghe's hometown since they arrived in the capital, so she said that this trip will take them with her.
Luo Wen was busy with the affairs of the court and couldn't go with them, and Luo Yangming was busy reading books and preparing for the imperial examination, and he didn't follow, and the house couldn't be without a hostess for a long time, and Song Yujing couldn't go with him.
Mrs. Luo said that she would bring Luo Rulan, Luo Qing, Luo Ruyue, as well as Luo Yangshu and his wife Miao.
Song Yujing was a little reluctant, not to mention that it would take two months for them to go to Qinghe's hometown, there was a lot of chaos outside, it was not very peaceful, and she took her two children at once, where could she rest assured?
Mrs. Luo was unhappy: "Qinghe is still far from Rongzhou?" Where can those mobs get that far? What's more, Prince Yi has already gone to suppress it. ”
Luo Wen saw that his wife was angry, and he also said on the side: "It's okay, just send more people to follow, Prince Yi is very powerful, and it will be more than half a month when he arrives there, and some people have already been rectified." ”
"My son also wants to go with his mother, but the affairs of the court and the central government are complicated, and the internal and external troubles have not been completely removed.
Mrs. Luo doesn't give face, but Luo Wen's face will not give him in public.
"It's okay, there are a lot of affairs in the DPRK and China, and it's a good time for you to make meritorious contributions, and I believe your grandmother won't blame you."
When it came to this, Song Yujing didn't want to say anything more, so she had to make up for herself.
"Oh, mother, my daughter-in-law is worried about you. I'm going to choose more good ones, and I have to bring more maids, and I want to be smart. ”
That's how it was settled.
It will take two months to go to this place, Luo Qing can't rest assured that he bothered to snatch this basin of blood and tears, and he also wants to say goodbye to Shu Yige, so he went to talk to Song Yujing in his free time, and begged for a carriage to go to Shu's house.
She went first to hand over the blood and tears to Liu Xiao, and told him about her experience in taking care of the blood and tears recently, and got Liu Xiao's assurance, which can be regarded as a relief.
"When you come back, take it away for me, I've been in the capital long enough this time, and I'll have to go to Yunyou when you come back."
Luo Qing knew Liu Xiao, he came and went without a trace, and it was really rare to be able to stay in the capital for so long this time.
"Where are you going next?"
Liu Xiao sat down on the chair behind him.
"You're traveling, wherever you go. Originally, I didn't plan to go back to Beijing before, but your brother couldn't rest assured of you and called me back, but then your brother returned to Beijing, so I delayed. ”
He glanced at Luo Qing.
"I've done a lot for you."
Luo Qing heard Liu Xiao mention Yanhuai, his heart warmed slightly, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he was willing to joke with him.
"What does Brother Liu want in return?"
Liu Xiao took down his chin and pointed to the blood and tears on the table on the side.
"When it blooms, write a letter with me, and if you can, leave me a petal."
That's really not much of a return.
Luo Qing chuckled lightly and said deliberately: "Then Brother Liu is working harder, I can't say that after I leave, you can make the blood and tears bloom, and I can't take care of this flower when the time comes, wouldn't it be happy?" ”
Liu Xiao straightened up, hugged the blood and tears, looked at it carefully, pursed his lips, and said: "I don't, you and your brother are both trying to calculate me, I worked hard to serve this flower, it bloomed, and it was not used for your brother!" ”
Luo Qing and Liu Xiao had a lot of gags, and finally thanked them, which can be regarded as going to find Shu Yige.
Shu Yige may not have seen Luo Qing for a long time, so she can't help but say something good again.
But Luo Qing could see that Shu Yige was not as good as before, no matter how much he smiled, there was a layer of haze in his eyes, which was out of reach of others.
She didn't know how to comfort her, but she held her hand tightly and listened to her tell the interesting stories she had heard these days.
At the end, she said softly: "My father and mother are looking at others for me." ”
Luo Qing looked up in surprise, and saw that Shu Yige still had a smile on his lips, but the smile was ethereal and dispersed as soon as he touched it.
On the way back, her mood became heavier and heavier.
She thought, it's really not good to grow up, everyone has their own sorrows, everyone has their own way to go, and no one can accompany anyone anymore.
