Chapter 22 Luo Fu
Because of the lack of money, Xia Zhengqian's carriage did not have a brazier until a particularly cold day. Although it is early spring, the hour is too early, the sun has not yet come out, and the temperature is about 7 or 8 degrees Celsius.
Fortunately, Calamus was very careful, and when he came out, he carried a burden in his hand, and took out the thick cloak and put it on Xia Jin, which made Xia Jin feel a lot better.
Calamus's move made Xia Zhengqian extremely satisfied, and he asked Zhibai to take out ten cents on the spot and reward Calamus, and couldn't hide the smile on Calamus's happy face - Xia Mansion is an ordinary family, and the monthly money of the next person is not high. Calamus used to be a little maid, and her monthly money was only 20 yuan; Now that she has been promoted to a big girl, it is only a monthly example of thirty Wen. Xia Zhengqian's reward is directly worth her monthly money in the previous half month, how can this not make her happy?
Carefully putting the ten cents into his arms, Calamus secretly made up his mind that he would serve Xia Jin better in the future.
Because he didn't want the people in the Luo family's concierge to see them waiting here, after Xia Zhengqian got into the carriage, he asked Zhibai to drive the car to the alley in front, and only sent Zhibai and Calamus to take turns to look at the alley. The porter probably thought that Xia Zhengqian was gone, but after a meal, a carriage came out of the side door and stopped at the gate.
Zhibai followed Xia Zhengqian in and out of the mansion of the rich and noble all the year round, and he had a bit of eyesight, knowing that this kind of soapy blue silk car circumference, and there was a piece of leather in front of the car to block the wind, the carriage was often ridden by officials or big families, and it must be Luo Weitao's carriage, so he was suddenly overjoyed and ran over and shouted: "Master, Lord Luo is out." ”
Xia Zhengqian and Xia Jin hurriedly got out of the carriage, and when they walked to the gate of the Luo family, they saw a man in his forties, with a sturdy figure and a somewhat handsome appearance, walking out of it and preparing to get into the carriage.
"Lord Luo, please stay." Xia Zhengqian took three steps and made two steps, walked to the front, and made a deep gesture.
"Are you ......" Luo Weitao stood up straight, looked at Xia Zhengqian, and frowned and asked.
"I'm Renhe Tanglang Zhongxia Zhengqian, I took the liberty to come to the door, and I was disturbed a lot."
Luo Weitao glanced at the man guarding the door unhappily, bowed his head slightly to Xia Zhengqian, and his tone became lighter: "I don't know if Xia Lang came to the door early in the morning, what do you think?" ”
This was said extremely politely, and Xia Jin's gaze suddenly turned cold.
The matter involved the relationship between his mother and brother and his daughter, Xia Zhengqian's face turned red, and he said, "Lord Luo, can you ...... Can you take a step to speak? ”
Luo Weitao's brows furrowed even tighter: "I'm going to the Shangya soon, I'm going to be late, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." If there's anything you say, just say it right here. ”
Xia Zhengqian knows that there is only one chance, and if he doesn't say it now, I'm afraid Luo Weitao won't give him another chance to speak next time he comes to the door. So knowing that this place was not the place to speak, he still opened his mouth, and said it very directly: "Yesterday, a Yamen Xue Dian's house came to the door, saying that the little girl belonged to the dragon and the moon, which was in line with the needs of your mansion, and asked if you were willing to discuss marriage with your mansion. My mother and brother were overjoyed when they heard this, and agreed to the incident. Xia's strength is weak, and his opposition is fruitless. I heard that it was the third son of your mansion who was sick, and he was not talented, so he was willing to recommend himself and see a doctor for the third son. If the third son's illness can be cured, the adults don't have to worry anymore, let alone act hastily, and end up with this family affair that is not the right family. Lord Luo is also a father, and he wants to be able to understand a piece of his heart. ”
Xia Jin listened to it on the sidelines, Rao was accustomed to life and death because of the mercenary experience in her previous life, which made her already feel cold, and she was still quite moved.
Xia Zhengqian said this implicitly, but the meaning was extremely clear, that is, to tell Luo Weitao that he was unwilling to let his daughter come to congratulate Luo Sangongzi.
As soon as he said this, no matter whether he could see the disease or not, whether he could cure Luo Sangongzi's illness or not, with Luo Weitao's arrogance as a son of the family, this family business would inevitably be stopped. But Luo Weitao will be dissatisfied with the Xia family because of this, and Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhengshen will be even more angry and furious if they can't get married. Knowing that he was about to face such a difficult situation, the father in front of him still spoke out so clearly, refused the family matter, and protected her behind him!
This father's love is like a pot of boiling water just out of the oven, instantly pouring her hard and cold heart.
Sure enough, before Xia Zhengqian's words fell, Luo Weitao's gaze suddenly became cold.
He stared at Xia Zhengqian like staring at a fly, disgusted with disdain, and didn't seem to even bother to say anything to him: "This, I don't seem to let people go to your house to propose, right?" Running early in the morning to say these words, you are really inexplicable! With that, he flicked his sleeves and headed for the carriage.
"Lord Luo, please wait." Xia Jin screamed, and seeing that Luo Weitao ignored it, and her feet did not stop, she continued, "Lord Luo also knows that each Lang Zhong has his own unique skills. It is not uncommon for many diseases that cannot be cured by famous doctors to be cured by traveling doctors on the streets. My father is in Linjiang City, although his reputation is not as good as Ding Langzhong, but he is not an unknown person. If Lord Luo gives him a chance, maybe Ling Lang's illness can be cured? This opportunity is not so much for my father as for Ling Lang. Why don't you give it a try? ”
If she is cheap, she must treat the third son of Naluo. She really couldn't bear Xia Zhengqian's anger from all sides. To be able to cure Luo San's illness, Luo Weitao accepted Xia Zhengqian's great affection. When the time comes, Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhengshen will no longer dare to embarrass Xia Zhengqian.
Xia Jin's last two sentences made Luo Weitao pause.
He turned around and looked at Xia Zhengqian, his eyes contemplative.
Xia Zhengqian stood there, looking at Luo Weitao, but he was silent and did not promote himself in time.
Xia Zhengqian's performance made Luo Weitao's face loosen. He asked, "How sure are you?" ”
Xia Zhengqian shook his head: "I'm not sure." Seeing Luo Weitao's face slightly gloomy, he said again, "I haven't even seen the face of your son, how dare you say that you are sure?" ”
These words made Luo Weitao show his color: "It's that I'm confused." He turned to his entourage and said, "You go to the yamen and help me talk to the adults, and I'll go later." ”
The attendant said yes and rode away.
Luo Weitao turned to Xia Zhengqian and made a gesture: "Xia Lang, please." ”
Luofu covers a wide area, inside the wide and wide house, carved beams and painted buildings, lotus pond fake water, famous flowers and different grasses, I don't know how much stronger than Xiafu.
The father and daughter of the Xia family followed Luo Weitao through the corridor, through one arch after another, and watched countless scenery, and finally entered a courtyard and stopped in front of a house.
"Sir." When the maid standing at the door saw Luo Weitao coming, she saluted and raised her hand to raise the curtain.
"Madame is in the house?" Luo Weitao didn't go in directly, but stood at the door and asked.
A dignified woman in her thirties came out when she heard the voice, and when she saw Luo Weitao, she was slightly stunned, and her eyes looked at Xia Zhengqian's father and daughter.
