"You are a good boy, I admit that I was inferior to your eldest brother and your third brother at the beginning," Qi Shi sighed and said, "The reason for this is that you know in your heart, no matter how much you complain about me, I don't think I have done anything wrong, and I don't feel that I owe anything to you?" "Back then, Aunt Qian was just a girl who boiled water, and she actually took advantage of the old marquis's drunkenness to climb the master's bed, and she kept it hidden until she was pregnant before she ran to Luo Lierong to kneel and beg, such scheming and means, how could the Qi family like her?
"But the Gao family has entered the door of the Luo family, virtuous and virtuous, he is truly filial to me, and he is also as close to Yuanhu as a sibling, Qingrong and Xuchu grew up under my knees, I treat them like my own blood and bones, whether you believe it or not, I have to say so, so today's matter, I can't let it go so easily."
Luo Yuanpeng has been bombarded with thoughts in his heart, in his heart, Zhang Lan is not an ordinary small family woman, although she is from a humble background, she has a heart and insight that noblewomen can't reach, her chest has a ravine and a belly is splendid, it is the pearl he found in the eyes of thousands of fish, if he hadn't personally sent someone to check that she had indeed grown up in that fishing village, he would almost think that his wife was the pearl of that family outside, just like Zhang Lan often said, she never felt that Luo Yuanpeng, the Marquis of Wu'an, was more noble than herself, she even said, She is smarter and wiser than most people in this world, and Luo Yuanpeng is convinced of this, so Zhang Lan, who hates men taking concubines and disgusting concubines, will she actually look down on him in her heart? Luo Yuanpeng hesitated for a while.
"We have a banquet in the house, why didn't our serious lady come out to meet people? And Su Juan, why did the child go to the water's edge alone? And why isn't there even a servant woman who knows how to wait by the water's edge? You should also think about these~"
"As for your daughter-in-law who is well versed in water, why do you have to wait for Sister Rong'er, a nine-year-old female doll, to jump in before she goes to save people, you go and ask her~" Mrs. Luo lowered her eyelids, her voice was full of helplessness and sentimentality, "I only know one thing, these children under my knees are all my palm beads, and if any of them have an accident, I have no shame to see your father under the spring!" ”
Why? Do you need to ask? Luo Yuanpeng came out of the Ruian Hall and let him charge into battle he could raise his brows without frowning and raise his knife but let him sort out the trivialities of these inner houses he found that he was so dull. Zhang Lan doesn't like Jin and Liu, doesn't like her son and daughter, Zhang Lan, who keeps saying that she wants to be a couple for the rest of her life, and Zhang Lan, who claims to enjoy the purest "love", how can she like her other daughter?
"The slave has seen Master Hou,"
"What are you doing here?" Luo Yuanpeng was suddenly awakened by a female voice, and looked at the eldest girl who turned out to be Aunt Jin, Xue Lian, standing outside the hall with red eyes, "But what did the third girl go wrong?" ”
"No," Xue Lian saw Luo Yuanpeng's face change at first glance, and she fell to her knees in fright, "It was the aunt's wife who asked the slave maid to come over to serve the second girl, and the aunt was taking care of the third girl and couldn't get out, the aunt said, when the third girl woke up, she would bring her over and kowtow to the second girl,"
"Well, then you are here to serve well," Luo Yuanpeng took a deep look at the west side where his daughter was lying, and Mrs. Luo was not at ease, so she directly asked Luo Qingrong to be carried into Qingtai Courtyard to watch it herself.
"Hou Ye," Xue Lian walked a few steps on her knees, "Hou Ye stayed~"
"What?" Although Xue Lian is Aunt Jin's eldest maid, she used to be one of Luo Yuanpeng's rooms, but after Zhang Lan entered the door, her aunt was about to be driven out, and it was naturally difficult for the girl to see Luo Yuanpeng again.
"Master Hou, the three girls of my family are not going to the courtyard of the lady by themselves, it was the Xianyun in the courtyard of the lady who called over, and when Mother He looked for it, the three girls had already fallen into the water," Xue Lian said and touched her head to the ground, "Mother He is now locked in the firewood room by Mrs., and I also ask Master Hou to call the shots~"
"What you say is true? Didn't Aunt Kim tell you to say it? "What's going on today? Do you have to come and tell yourself that he is blind and sees the wrong person? Luo Yuanpeng grabbed Xue Lian's wrist and said in a dumb voice, "What will happen to the master by enslaving him, you have to think clearly!" ”
"The slave maid didn't mean to hurt anyone, the Xianyun girl in Mrs. Shi's courtyard went to the backyard and asked the third girl if she wanted to go to the lotus pond to see, saying that many young ladies were here," Xue Lian's eyes were firm, there is Zhang's family, I am afraid that even an aunt will not be able to fight in the future, she is already a broken person, and it will be difficult to marry a good family in the future, it is better to give it a go, not to mention that she didn't tell a lie at all, "At that time, Mother He was not there, and the little girls didn't stop her, so the three girls followed Xianyun, and Mother He went out to look for it as soon as she came back, Who knew that with only one pillar of incense, the three girls would ~"
"Got it," Luo Yuanpeng's heart trembled, Zhang Lan once told him that she hated making waves behind people's backs the most, and she disdained to make waves behind her back, even if she hated Russell Juan, it would hurt Russell Juan, and it would not be half good for her, "I will give Su Juan justice, Miss Luo family, no one should think about calculating!" ”
"Slave and maid thank you Hou Ye," Xue Lian sneered in her heart, now the Zhang family didn't want to make it clear at all, even if she couldn't move her, Mrs. Hou, at least Xianyun didn't want to show off her power in front of her.
"Master Hou, you are here, Mrs. is drinking medicine," Mother Su hurriedly greeted Luo Yuanpeng as soon as she saw Luo Yuanpeng enter the door of the water residence, she was not as optimistic as Zhang Lan, there was such a thing in this house, it was impossible for the head of the family not to investigate carefully, especially when she saw the two girls following behind Luo Yuanpeng, her heart couldn't help sinking, but she couldn't turn around and go back to deliver news to Mrs., so she had to pick up the curtain for Luo Yuanpeng diligently, "Fortunately, Mrs. is in good health, and the doctor said that she will be fine if she drinks two pairs of decoction." ”
The indoor light is warm, Zhang Lan is frowning and swallowing the decoction in the celadon bowl under the persuasion of Feixing, Luo Yuanpeng looked at her purple clothes and no makeup, and suddenly felt that he missed her very much, thinking about her smooth forehead and bright eyes, the corners of her eyes that were slightly raised when she smiled, and the full affection that could overflow at any time under her eyes, every time she looked at him with affection, every time she sighed and wrapped her waist around his waist to tell him how much she liked him, he would feel that this life was complete.
"Are you feeling better? What did the doctor say? Luo Yuanpeng still couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine," Zhang Lan put down the porcelain bowl in her hand, "It's not Mother Su yet, I'm afraid that I'll be cold in this weather, so I have to ask the doctor to prescribe medicine for me to drink, and I'm dying of bitterness~"
"How's it going? I want to go and see, but I'm afraid that the old lady won't want to see me, and the plain silk in the backyard, Aunt Jin is like an old hen, I'll go and see if I can drop a piece of meat? Zhang Lan didn't feel her husband's depressed mood at all, and turned around and said, "Come and help me rub my shoulders, your daughter-in-law saved two people and was tired to death~"
"Why did Qingrong jump?" Luo Yuanpeng saw his wife's calmness, and did not shy away from saying that he was not treated well by his mother-in-law and daughter, his heart was slightly calm, and his original dissatisfaction was much lighter, so he sat down and gently pinched Zhang Lan's shoulder.
Hearing Luo Yuanpeng ask about this, Zhang Lan was inexplicably weak-hearted, thinking of her hesitation at the time, "She may not know that I know how to water, and when she saw her sister falling into the water, she went down in a hurry, this girl, for the sake of her sister, she didn't even care about her own safety, she was fine, right?" I think she looks like she can swim. ”
"Qingrong usually doesn't seem to talk much, but he is a cherishing sibling, not only is he good to Xu Chu, but Su Juan has only been back for a few days, and he is so desperate," Luo Yuanpeng sighed, "You have to treat her well in the future, she is also nine years old, and she can't stay at home for a few years~"
"Well, don't worry," Zhang Lan recalled Luo Qingrong's performance at the time, "Qingrong is a good boy~"
"Then there's Su Juan's business, why don't you take her out to meet someone this time?" Luo Yuanpeng turned Zhang Lan's body, "I know, because of Ling Yun, you don't like her, but she is also my daughter, and she will marry in the future." ”
"Just because I didn't let her come out to meet people, that's why she ran out on her own?" Zhang Lanliu raised her eyebrows, a little angry, if it weren't for Russell Juan's trouble, her flower viewing party would still be quite perfect, this is good, the whole capital knows that the first banquet of the Wu'an Hou Mansion The two young ladies fell into the water, "How old is she?" The temper is twisted again, and she is noisy at every turn, I take her out, what should I do if I am embarrassed? This girl's temper will not change, she will not marry in the future, but harm others~"
"She is my Luo Yuanpeng's daughter, even if she is rude, who can marry her, it is also a great blessing," thinking of the little daughter who had been lying on the bed and never woken up, Luo Yuanpeng felt that Zhang Lan's words were very harsh, if Zhang Lanken took her out, where would her daughter run out by herself? "Xianyun, you come in for me~"
"What do you tell Xianyun to do? She was so frightened that she cried, I asked her to go back and rest," Zhang Lan didn't know why Luo Yuanpeng suddenly called Xianyun, "What's wrong?" Someone sued her? Yes, she didn't have any manners at that time, and rushed directly to Zilingzhou, but Luo Yuanpeng, you have to know the situation at that time, it was a human life, she couldn't find someone to save her, so she naturally wanted to go to me, "The more Zhang Lan said, the more angry she became, the Qingtaiyuan side must make a fuss about this matter, no, she has to attack her maid."
"Yulu, go and call Xianyun to me," Luo Yuanpeng ignored Zhang Lan and shouted, Xianyun went directly to report the letter, then, she was present when Russell fell into the water, and there was naturally a servant woman in the house who knew how to support the boat, why didn't she send someone to guard it in advance? "Since you want to invite someone to reward the lotus in Ziling Continent, why don't you let the servants who know the water stand aside in advance? What if it is the lady of Beppu who falls into the water today? ”
"This," Zhang Lan didn't expect Luo Yuanpeng to suddenly change the subject, "It's all a group of adults, who will go to the water's edge in a good way?" They all have their own girls and mothers-in-law to follow, "Speaking of this, Zhang Lan couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, why was she so careless, didn't it often be written in the book that the most popular secret trick of those young ladies and girls was to push people into the water?"
"Well, I'll admit it was my negligence, haven't I never held such a banquet? Patronizing to get some new ideas to prevent our Luo family from being looked down upon by the ladies and ladies in the capital, and no one helps me~" Zhang Lan pulled Luo Yuanpeng's clothes and coquettishly, "This has nothing to do with Xianyun, you don't have to punish her~"
