"Meow, meow!" A spotted big cat suddenly jumped out of the rockery, and Sun was taken aback, and stepped on the moss-stained cobblestone road a few steps back, and he was about to fall down if he slipped and slipped down.

Luo Baiqian quickly flew forward, and went up to support her before Sun fell in time.

Sun's face turned pale with fright, covering his heart and slightly afraid, becoming more and more delicate, Luo Baiqian let go of his hand and asked with concern: "The second aunt didn't twist anywhere, right?" Did that brute scratch you just now? Sun gasped slightly, shook his head slightly, and looked overly frightened.

Luo Baiqian was very close to her, and only then did he notice that although Sun Shi was covered with thick fat powder, he couldn't hide the blue and black marks under his eyes, and there was also tiredness on his beautiful face. Looking down further, a plain white snow silk collar can be faintly seen under the collar of the silver-embroidered flower dress. Luo Baiqian suddenly thought that the Sun family was probably still sad about her brother's death, but because she had married into the Luo family after all, even if the Sun family had a funeral, even if her own brother died, she could not openly serve filial piety in the Luo family, so she wore filial piety clothes under the flower clothes to pay tribute to her brother.

Luo Baiqian couldn't help but persuade: "Second aunt, what happened to the eighth young master of the Sun Mansion is not only the grief of the Sun Mansion, but even we are sad and sad, although you want to persuade the second aunt, I am afraid that it will arouse your sadness." Second aunt, you are in charge of our family, and you can't be absent for a day inside and out, and I hope you want to open up and cherish yourself more. ”

Sun shook his head sadly, and said intermittently: "I can't think about it, I can't think about it, Brother Jing, a smart and clever child, actually said that it was gone...... The last time I went back to my mother's house, he still asked me for the golden hairpin on my head, but I didn't give it to him, and when I heard about him again, it turned out to be his death...... Brother Jing'er is only nine years old, he is his father's most beloved son, and his future is bright...... My father used to say that when he grew up, he would leave all the merchant ships of the Sun family on the Grand Canal to him, and his mother regarded him as his lifeblood......

Luo Baiqian was also embarrassed, and he didn't know how to comfort her.

After a while, Sun Shi said with relief: "I'm sorry, I forgot about it after talking for a while, my former brother, you were in a hurry, but I stopped you from talking about these things and let you follow them." ”

Luo Baiqian's handsome face was full of tenderness, and said: "People have the same heart, the same heart, and the little nephew is honored to listen to the second aunt's words." ”

Sun's face was full of emotion: "Even your second uncle refuses to listen to me complain a few words, you are a confidant, it is really rare." After a pause, Sun asked as if unintentionally, "I heard that your brother Zhu has been bad for the past two days, and your daughter-in-law is so anxious that she can't eat and sleep, can the doctor find out the cause?" ”

Luo Bai has been running out of the house with all his heart in the past few days, and he has only vaguely heard someone talk about his son's illness once, where can he answer? So, he said vaguely: "Most of the young son's illness accumulates on the outside and occurs inside, it may not be really sick, there may be other external causes, if the external causes are eliminated, the young son's illness will naturally be cured without medicine." ”

Hearing the last sentence, Sun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "So, you also think that your son's illness was caused by 'external causes'?" ”

Luo Baiqian didn't understand why the Sun family suddenly became so excited, so he nodded and said goodbye: "The little nephew still wants to go to see his father and talk about the affairs in the academy, so he will retire first." In fact, I was afraid that I would talk too much and expose the truth that I didn't even know what disease my son was in.

"Wait!" Sun looked up at his eyes and asked with a smile, "Brother Qian, you said you were going now...... See your father? ”

"Well, yes, second aunt!" Luo Baiqian was very uncomfortable by her gaze, and said stubbornly, "I'm going to report to my father what I learned last night, and ask my father to correct me." ”

Sun raised the silk handkerchief to cover his lips and smiled, shook his head and said, "It's better for my aunt to persuade you not to go, and even your daughter-in-law should not be seen." ”

"Why?" Luo Baiqian asked with some weakness.

Sun pursed his lips, untied a sachet of emerald brocade and agate from his waist, took out a glass water mirror the size of a pigeon's egg from it and handed it to Luo Baiqian, and said with a smile: "There is something on your neck, it is not appropriate for them to see it." ”

Luo Baiqian's eyelids jumped, and he took the mirror in a panic and looked at it, and let out an embarrassed "ah". He took out a handkerchief to wipe it, but found that the red mark on his neck was the pigment red of lip grease on the top, and the red on the bottom was a bruise that couldn't be wiped off. Allow. Suction ...... Luo Bai wiped and wiped it before, and wiped the white neck red, but the lip-shaped mark was still very eye-catching. So, he had to pull up his collar high, hoping to cover it.

handed the water mirror back to Sun, seeing that she still had that kind of expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Luo Bai was in a hurry, stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve and shook it, and begged in a low voice: "Good aunt, please love me this time, don't tell my father about this, otherwise he will definitely beat me to death, good aunt and good aunt!" ”

Sun Shi pulled away his sleeves and said angrily: "Former brother, you are also a twenty-two-year-old adult, and you should know some measure in doing things." Fortunately, I saw it today, and if anyone else saw it, there was no reason to hide it for you. What's wrong with your daughter-in-law? The year before last, she gave birth to a pair of twins, and this year she added you a cute daughter like a snow ball, which made us envious. But it's good that you don't keep your daughter-in-law to live a good life, but you go outside to steal food, and you don't know how to wipe your mouth clean after eating. ”

Luo Baiqian heard that although Sun's words were reproachful, the tone of his eyes and tone was a little joking, and he immediately felt happy and asked: "Good aunt, are you willing to hide this matter for me?" ”

"Family, if you look up and don't look down, if I wanted your father to punish you, I wouldn't have reminded you just now." Sun glanced at him with resentment, "You men, there is never a time for contentment...... Forget it, I'm still in a hurry to discuss one thing with the ancestor, and I won't talk to you more about those big truths, you can quickly find a room where no one is there to deal with it. ”

Luo Bai thanked him again and again, and in a panic, he ran into his recording garden, got into an empty house, grabbed a bronze mirror from the dressing table and took a picture for a long time.

"It's so dangerous, fortunately I bumped into her, otherwise even if I said that I went to visit the Qinglou, I wouldn't be able to expose my relationship with Qi Sanniang......" He breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that he had talked to the little guy who was driving the car for a long time, but the other party didn't find such an obvious red mark, and he didn't say anything to remind himself, and his heart couldn't help but feel a burst of fire.

Luo Baiqian picked up the white powder and fragrant jade paste on the dressing table, and tinkered with his neck for a long time, but he couldn't cover this trace naturally, but rubbed the whole skin red.

"Forget it, don't get it!" Luo Baiqian lay down on the bed and said, "It's a big deal that the master won't go out during the day today, it just so happens that the master is so sleepy that he won't be tired after sleeping all day." So, he didn't even bother to take off his robe, but just loosened the delicate jade ring belt around his waist, kicked the boots on his feet, pulled over the quilt and began to sleep with his head covered. This room is behind the small storeroom in its Recording Garden, and no one usually approaches it at all, and the only person who knows that he often sleeps here is his henchman Xionghuang. Thinking about it this way, he slept more soundly.

"Young master, young master...... Gentleman! A voice cried out in his dream, "Wake up, the old lady has sent someone to call you!" Say you'll be right over! ”

Luo Bai was a spirit, and he immediately came to his senses, only to see Xionghuang calling out to him anxiously. He was in a hurry, choked on his own saliva, coughed breathlessly, and was so frightened that Xionghuang patted his chest again and again. He slapped away the clumsy paw angrily, and said angrily: "Master is sleeping soundly, what the hell is your name!" The old lady asked people to call, you won't say I'm not in the house, you let the donkey kick in your brain? ”

"Oh, my grandfather," Xionghuang knew that the eldest young master had always been very angry when he got up, and he was angry and didn't ask anything, and he wanted to swallow his life alive, so Xionghuang tried his best to be careful and said, "Have you met the second wife this morning?" She is at the old lady's place now, and she also told the old lady about your affairs in the house. ”

Luo Baiqian woke up completely, sat up and asked again and again: "Who did the old lady send?" Did you ask what it was? What did the woman say to the old lady? "Could it be that Sun turned his tongue and sued himself in front of the old lady? Could it be that his relationship with Qi Sanniang has been exposed?

Xionghuang said with a bitter face: "The old lady sent the pomegranate over, she is a fourteen-year-old girl, she doesn't know anything when she asks anything, she nods or shakes her head with a smile." However, she said that the old lady called not only the eldest young master, but also asked Licorice to call Aunt Mei in the third room, saying that the second wife said that there was a major event related to the whole Luo family, and all the people in the third room of the Luo family should come together to discuss a result. ”

When Luo Bai heard this, two drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, hanging on his crystal white handsome face, which had an ordinary soul-stirring demeanor, which made Xionghuang stunned. Xionghuang Xin said, the man was born with such a good appearance, I am afraid that the woman will also hide her face and hang her head, no wonder Qi Sanniang does not love the good uncle of Luoxi Mansion, and secretly does this kind of evil thing that is broken is a death.

Xionghuang persuaded: "Master, as the saying goes, 'It's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it', whether it's good or bad, go over and take a look first." We have always been careful, and we have not left any handles, at most you will say that you have been bored with reading recently, and you can't stand the pestering of friends, so you have eaten a few times of flower wine. You are the eldest grandson of Luofu, and the old lady has always favored you, so she must not bear to be harsh. ”

When Luo Bai heard this, his face recovered a little blood, and Xionghuang said: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the matter between you and Aunt Qi's grandmother in Xifu is revealed, the Luo family will only find a way to cover up the ugliness of the family, and it is impossible to publicize it to everyone. That Aunt Qi and Grandma are willing to follow you, so she naturally understands what will happen to her after the matter is exposed, and she can only blame her for her bad luck. ”

Luo Baiqian sighed and said, "I'm not ruthless to her, if I watch her die...... Let's hope it doesn't get to that point......"

At that moment, Xionghuang took a set of clean silver and green robes for Luo Bai to change into, and waited for him to wash and tie his hair. Xionghuang remembered another thing, hesitated and said to Luo Baiqian: "By the way, young master, the little beggar who was injured at the gate this morning has woken up." However, his brain seems to have been broken, he said that he doesn't remember anything, he doesn't even know what his name is, you see, what are we going to do with this stupid little beggar? ”

Luo Baiqian roared angrily: "When is it, you still mention to me the tattered things of these beggars and fools!" See for yourself - grass! You stupid thing, your socks are worn backwards! ”

After cleaning up for a long time, he finally made it clean and neat, and Luo Baiqian became the handsome and unparalleled young master of Luodong Mansion in front of him. Led by the little girl pomegranate, Luo Baiqian walked to the old lady's Fushou Garden nervously, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Sun family.

Before, she kindly reminded herself that there were traces of love on her neck, and she also inquired about her son's condition with great concern, looking like she wanted to win herself over. On weekdays, I have never seen her so enthusiastic about herself, the eldest young master, in public and private, and her wife Dong is secretly jealous of Sun's dominance of the key to the house, and does not give her a chance to show her face. However, there is no conflict of interest between him Luo Baiqian and the Sun family, and he is usually more respectful to her, so she has no reason to harm him!

Thinking like this, Luo Baiqian had already walked to Fushou Garden, and a maid came out and said that the old lady was waiting for him in the main hall, Luo Baiqian took a deep breath and walked into the main hall with a curtain. After looking around, he found that in addition to the old lady and the Sun family, there was also Aunt Mei Niang from the third uncle's concubine.
