Chapter 190: Gift-giving provocation
The entrance to Luofu.
The two ladies of the second and third rooms went out of the door almost at a gallop, and sure enough, they saw several fast horses approaching not far away.
When You and her husband came to the door, the horses were already near!
As soon as the men on the three tall horses pulled the reins of the horses, the three horses stopped their steps and stopped at the gate of Luofu.
"Big brother, we're back!"
On horseback, a burly man with a well-rounded face and a somewhat dark complexion called out. At the same time, he pressed the horse's back, jumped off the horse, threw the reins in his hand to the little guy behind him, and looked at the few people at the door with a smile.
The two men behind him also kicked off the saddle and dismounted, and walked to the door with a smile on their faces.
With a somewhat excited smile on his face, Luo Shangshu grabbed the hand of the first person who came down and said, "Second brother, third brother, Yun Qi, you are finally back!" ”
Luo Chengren, the second eldest of the Luo family, smiled undiminished on his dark face, and his sharp eyes that only soldiers can have were full of joy after seeing his relatives at this moment.
Luo Chengxin, the third elder of the Luo family, has a slender figure and is wearing a silver-white armor. Although he is also a member of the army, the third child of the Luo family is not as heavy as the second Luo Chengren.
As for Luo Shangshu's only son-in-law, Luo Yunqi, he was dressed in a white robe, with towering hair, a pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and even the action of turning over and dismounting looked extremely elegant.
The three of them stepped forward, Luo Chengren and Luo Chengxin greeted their brother and sister-in-law, and Luo Shangshu was pleased: "It's good to come back!" It's good to be back! Hurry up and go home with your siblings, Mother has been looking forward to your return! ”
The elder brother said so, and the two younger brothers went their separate ways to their wives. Li and Jiang looked at these two husbands who had been separated for more than half a year, and they had mixed feelings, but they didn't dare to show it because of today's occasion, and their enthusiasm could only turn into warmth in their eyes, and they looked at their husbands softly.
"Father, mother, son are back!" Luo Yunqi spoke, lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed directly to Luo Shangshu and You Shi.
"My son, it's good to come back, you don't have to be so gifted!" You Shi couldn't bear to let his son, who hadn't seen him for many months, kneel, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his son up, and said up and down: "It's dark, and I've lost weight!" It's all your father's fault! Let you go to the frontier and suffer! ”
Luo Yunqi smiled softly and said, "The son has made his mother worried. The son is very good, and he is not bitter at all. The father is also in order to let his son experience, and the mother should not blame the father. ”
Luo Shangshu looked at his son so mature and steady, and his heart was suddenly very relieved. He laughed, "Well, now is not the time to talk about that. You have come back just in time, today is the day of the first sunny day, and everyone is here. Come with me! ”
Second Master Luo laughed when he heard this: "We know that today is the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, so we have also prepared a congratulatory gift." After saying that, he pointed behind him, and everyone paid attention to the three people, but saw that there were as many as four or five carriages.
You Shi was a little surprised: "This is, the gift you prepared for Qing Chu?" ”
Luo Yunqi smiled softly and said, "I'm just such a good sister, of course I have to prepare well." ”
As soon as You Shi heard this, she knew that because of Luo Qingqian's recent incident, she said in her letter to her son that this time her son and the two uncles were so generous, they must have been to support Qingchu, which made You Shi smile in his heart.
Li and Jiang glanced at each other, and although they understood Luo Yunqi's intentions in their hearts, they frowned slightly and looked at their respective husbands.
If Luo Yunqi supports his sister, it doesn't matter, won't her husband join in the fun, right?
Although looking at it now, Luo Qingchu has her own father as the backstage, and there is an opportunity for a draft girl to enter the palace in front of her, but Luo Qingqian is not easy to mess with.
Even if this is not as good as the palace, if she marries into the Jingwang Mansion in the end, she is also at the level of a princess, and these two powerless aunts are not as majestic as the eldest lady.
So although the two of them still leaned on the eldest lady on the face, they had already secretly sent a gift into the fourth room. I believe that with Guo's cleverness, he can see the attitude of the two houses.
But if her husband also gave Luo Qingqian and Lu Li eye medicine today, it is estimated that this overture will not have any effect at all.
And even though Li and Jiang were anxious, the others didn't care.
Luo Shangshu pulled his two brothers with a smile on his face, strode inside, You Shi also pulled his son to follow, and before leaving, Luo Yunqi instructed the carriage behind to move everything into Luo's house.
With the return of the Luo family, the banquet became more lively.
Old Mrs. Luo couldn't help but sigh, and even a little old tears.
Some officials who came to pat Luo Shangshu on the back even stepped forward to toast and congratulate, after all, it was not easy for the Luo family, as a Wenchen family, to produce two deputy generals and a young military division.
An official was concerned: "What happened to the southern Xinjiang side when they came back this time?" ”
The soft smile on Luo Yunqi's face remained unchanged and said, "There is the Zuo family in southern Xinjiang, where will there be anything." In fact, it was General Zuo who was considerate of those of us who had been away from home all the year round, and deliberately gave us a family leave. ”
Another official said: "It's a coincidence that I came back today, just in time for the Major General's sister and Lu Li." ”
"Yes, so my uncles and I also specially prepared a gift for my sister Qingchu."
Luo Yunqi spoke, clapped his hands with his hands, and raised his voice: "Bring up all the gifts for Miss Qingchu." ”
Hearing the order, the subordinates moved the gifts one by one into the house like a flowing stream, and there were people next to them who specially sang the gift list:
"Two boxes of Jiangnan ice silk tulle."
"A pair of jade glazed heads, a pair of white jade and silver foil heads"
"Two pairs of white jade bracelets and one pair of gold-inlaid jade bracelets."
"A box of rouge gouache"
"A set of 12 screens of Jinse"
……
The gift list is getting longer and longer, and there are more and more things, and the guests are a little dumbfounded. There are so many things, which is enough for the dowry of ordinary eunuchs to marry their daughters.
Luo Qingchu also looked at the gifts that had been piled up like a hill in the yard with a little fluctuation, she really didn't expect her brother to make such a big move.
The last gift was a guqin, a rectangular sandalwood box, revealing a quaint atmosphere.
Luo Yunqi took the guqin out of the wooden box, looked at his sister who was a little stunned, and smiled softly: "Don't be surprised at Qingchu, many of these gifts were bought by me before." Because in Northern Xinjiang, my brother will buy you a gift when he misses you, but he has never had the opportunity to send it back to you. ”
Luo Yunqi walked forward slowly, and personally sent the guqin in his hand to Luo Qingchu. Luo Qingchu looked up at his brother, Luo Yunqi said with a doting face: "My brother has always been in the northern Xinjiang, I can't be by your side, you girl has always been so sensible, and she will never ask me for gifts." However, my brother knows in my heart that you also want your brother to be by your side and shelter you from the wind and rain. When you are wronged, your brother can be by your side to give you revenge. ”
