Liu Dongxing once again took advantage of the night to sneak into the two-entry courtyard and found his friend Luo Mingmin in the east wing.

As soon as Luo Mingmin saw him, he first noticed the moss on the crook of his elbow for some time, then turned his eyes to his feet, noticed that his upper was semi-wet, and joked with a wicked smile: "Yo, we will meet tonight?" I said you better take it easy, don't be too anxious and scare other girls. ”

Liu Dongxing ignored him, poured a cup of tea and drank it to himself, and said unhurriedly: "She lit the incense burner tonight and called me to speak." ”

Luo Mingmin's eyes widened: "Yo Wenyi, sister is so generous?" Look, it doesn't look like she's going to do it."

Liu Dongxing glanced at him: "You don't have a lot of arrangers, she heard some rumors in your house, and she suspected that you were going to be wronged, so she specially called me over." So he said everything Wen Yi told him concisely.

The smile on Luo Mingmin's face gradually disappeared, his face sank like water, sitting behind the bookcase, holding a purple pen in his hand, and it seemed that he suddenly became interested in the landscape pattern engraved on the barrel.

Liu Dongxing pulled over a chair and sat down opposite him: "Second Uncle Luo intends to let you succeed, this is already the old emperor's calendar, it stands to reason that now that you have received the errand of the General Administration, he should have changed his mind a long time ago." But look at your mother's attitude, but it's not like that. You tell me honestly, does Second Uncle Luo still have this idea? ”

Luo Mingmin was still staring at the pen, and said lightly: "Although he didn't mention it again, he didn't say anything that couldn't succeed me...... I only handed in my things this morning, and I have to wait for the review to be completed, and I am afraid it will take another month or two. ”

Liu Dongxing frowned: "So, Second Uncle Luo hasn't changed his mind yet?" He doesn't know you've got this errand done? ”

Luo Mingmin shook his head: "He can't take care of this matter, he may not believe it one day, he can't even ask me what kind of errand I received, at most he is knocking on the side from someone else." But the evidence we found was very important, and I didn't mention it to anyone else. ”

Liu Dongxing sighed: "So, it's okay for the past two months, but if you don't do your errand well, and the General Administration Department doesn't accept you, you will probably be adopted?" Second Uncle Luo is so confused, even if you can't enter the General Administration Department, you are an informed person, and you can help him take care of affairs in the future, so why push you out? If you become the son of your fourth uncle, it will be inconvenient for him to tell you to do anything."

Luo Mingmin lowered his head: "My father also has good intentions...... I can't do anything, if I pass it on to the fourth uncle, I can get a lot of furniture. And my fourth uncle ...... This old man has no heirs, and he went to the frontier again, in case there is a good one, at least someone can inherit his incense, and the fourth aunt and two sisters also have someone to take care of......" He smiled slightly bitterly, "Who made me the closest to the fourth uncle's family?" Even my sisters, I'm not very close to my own sister, but I get along well with Mingfang and Mingfei sisters, which can be regarded as a rare fate......"

Liu Dongxing rolled his eyes: "You left home early to study, and then you mixed around with me for four years, and the sisters at home didn't see you once a year, I'm afraid that I may not even remember what you look like, so how can I be close to you?" As for Ming Fang and Ming Fei, that's because they rode your neck when they were young, and you give them things every year, they naturally remember you, it's nothing, as long as you live at home for half a year, the reborn sisters will become mature" After a pause, he asked with a straight face: "What is your idea in your heart?" According to me, this is not bad, you and your fourth uncle's family are already close, and your family's house is not separated, if you want to divide it, it will only be divided into your third uncle's family. Not to mention, just your family affairs, you don't have to worry about your mother telling you that you don't like people, your fourth uncle and four aunts have always loved you, what do you want, isn't it according to your heart? ”

Luo Mingmin snorted coldly: "No matter how confused my mother is, she can't go past my father to be my master, but my father is not a fool, or the family affairs he likes are not as good as I want, and he won't be unbearable, what am I afraid of?" Although my father and mother have attached importance to the eldest brother and doted on the younger brother since childhood, they are only indifferent to me, but they are not lacking my food and clothing, whether it is studying, learning martial arts, or even doing business or something, they also follow me, when the brothers and sisters in the other room treat each other coldly, they will not help others to be cheap Compared to those children who have no father and no mother in the other room, I have already lived well, how can I not recognize them because my father and mother treat me coldly? I know what you're worried about, but if I really call someone else my father, I'll really be a joke in the Luo family."

Liu Dongxing wanted to say something, hesitated, but closed up. In his opinion, the second master and the second wife of the Luo family did not lack food and clothing for Luo Mingmin, the second son, nor did they scold at the twilight, but they never cared about anything, but they turned a blind eye. It's not one or two times, but it hasn't changed for more than ten years since I was a child. Luo Mingmin has been wandering for four years, and has only returned home two or three times, but he hasn't said anything at home, which is no longer indifferent. Luo Mingmin really doesn't have much interest in doing business, and he doesn't want to study for scientific examinations, and when he was a child, he loved to get into trouble everywhere, his parents were disappointed by this, not incomprehensible, but he has other talents? Why did they think he was a useless fool?

But he couldn't say these words in front of Luo Mingmin, after all, they were the other party's biological parents.

He raised his eyes and looked at Luo Mingmin: "Let's not mention the matter of the succession for the time being, what should your mother do if she wants to be related to the Gu family?" Although your mother would prefer to talk about the young lady of the Gu family for your brother, it is obvious that the old lady of the Gu family does not think so. ”

Luo Mingmin frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly shivered, with a little fear in his eyes: "Xiaoliu, I don't know why, after listening to your words, and what you told me before, the experience of the Gu family when the gang was in turmoil, your brother and I suddenly felt chills on my body."

Liu Dongxing was a little confused: "What kind of chills do you have?" If you don't want to, just promote your brother's relationship with the Gu family, won't it be over? There is no reason why both of his sisters will marry your Luo brothers. ”

"Didn't I mean this" Luo Mingmin looked horrified, "Didn't you mention that the sixth lady in his family's room is beautiful, but she has a strange temper, and she is a little unclear with your brother and the prince of Dongping?" It suddenly occurred to me that since his family could send her to the family nunnery for the sake of fame after her daughter met that kind of incident, and then took her out and sent her back to Beijing in less than half a year to still be her eldest lady, it can be seen that he loves this daughter very much, and it must be hard work for her life's events. Think about it carefully, if we change our Luo family, and a young lady encounters this kind of thing, in order for her not to be despised by her in-laws in the future, she will definitely choose to marry low, preferably a decent person who is not mixed in the officialdom, so that there will be good things in the future and everyone will not look good...... If the Gu family thinks so, then wouldn't our Luo family ......"

Liu Dongxing's face also became strange: "This makes sense...... If it were me, I would also think that the Luo family was a good choice......" He looked up at Luo Mingmin, looked up and down, and nodded solemnly, "You look good, you are a descendant, and you are still the nephew of the patriarch...... If you are passed on to your fourth uncle and aunt, it will be even better...... If the Gu family really promised you that sixth young lady, you would not join the army, second, not take the imperial examination, and third, not be in charge of the family industry, but you would live a rich life, you would indeed be a good candidate."

Luo Mingmin gasped, stood up suddenly, and walked back and forth in the house a few times, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong: "No, I have to say hello to my father...... Whether it's Dongping Wangfu or your Liu family, it's all annoying that my son is having a good life, but I don't want to ......"

"What are you anxious about?" Liu Dongxing was much calmer than him, "Do you think that sixth lady is willing to give you up?" He sneered, "When she was in Gu Zhuang, Second Mrs. Gu managed the long house strictly, and she still had a way to get rid of the people around her and act alone, let alone in the Shilang Mansion in the capital where she grew up?" As soon as she hears that she is going to marry you, she will immediately make a fuss, and she will stir up this family affair by herself, you take this as a reason, and you will return to the Hailuo clan is not much worse than the Pingyang Gu family, can Gu Shilang still have the cheekiness to force you to marry his daughter? ”

Luo Mingmin thought for a while, and a smile came back on his face: "You said right, I forgot for a while" He looked at Liu Dongxing and smiled, "You don't like the Pingyang Gu family?" It's also Wen Yi's sister's family, if you have something to say, bury it in your heart, don't say it. ”

Liu Dongxing's face slowed down a little, and he also smiled: "I don't actually have any bad feelings towards the Gu family, I just don't like his family's room." After a pause, "Actually, you don't have to be too flustered, the old lady of the Gu family has a good calculation, but she is a grandmother after all, and it is not good to cross Miss Six's parents to decide her family." And Gu Shilang can't take a fancy to you, and that Mrs. Gu is just mediocre to you. Old Madam Gu's idea will probably not be realized. ”

Luo Mingmin frowned, and then shook off this matter: "That's it, let's leave these worries alone." The Gu family is about to leave, and it is not a matter of a day or two to say goodbye. I did a very good job on this errand, and when I got the letter from above, I was officially admitted to the Department of General Affairs. When the time comes, whether it is a step-by-step or a kiss, my father will not act rashly. ”

The children of the Luo family who officially entered the General Administration Department are hopeless, their careers are promising, and their marriages must be chosen again and again, and it is better to choose a middle-sized family with an innocent background, so as not to be contaminated with sensitive forces, and once there is a possibility of leaking secrets, it will affect the General Administration Secretary at any time. Although the relationship between the second master Luo and his wife is mediocre, there have only been two intercourse rooms over the years, one is a child born to a family who has been waiting since childhood, and the other is the dowry girl of the second wife Luo. Luo Mingmin knew in his heart that since he had also embarked on his father's old path, marriage was not something that his mother could decide, and even if he passed it on to his uncle, his father could not make his decision.

Liu Dongxing looked at his face, guessed what he was thinking, and didn't say anything anymore, but just suggested a little euphemistically: "Even if the Gu family is gone, there are still many people in the Guihai area, so you should say hello to your father first." In fact, your marriage is not in a hurry, even your brother, it is best to wait until a few years later, he is promoted, and then it is not too late to think about it. You must know that it is much more decent to say kiss than to say kiss to Xiucai. ”

Luo Mingmin glanced at him amusedly: "Are you a fool for me?" I had already persuaded it, but my mother said that it was better to watch it first, and it was not decided immediately. Come on, don't worry about it, we can't take care of this matter, you have time, why don't you help me pick one or two suitable girls? You are not afraid of yourself, but I haven't settled down yet, I'm still half a year older than you, and even Nie Heng has married a daughter-in-law, do you want me to marry after you? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "Okay, what do you want, tell me about it?" After listening to his friend's words, he was in a very good mood, thinking of Wen Yi who had just met, his heart was even hotter, but it was a pity that the Luo family's boat was ready, and then he just had to choose a good day to go out, I don't know if he could see Wen Yi again before the Gu family left and returned to the sea?

Thinking of this, his face suddenly changed, and he looked up at Luo Mingmin suddenly: "Oops, I just forgot an important thing, and I didn't tell the ninth sister."

Luo Mingmin was taken aback by his tone, and his heart couldn't help but tighten: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Dongxing frowned tightly and said a place name vaguely: "Dongping." ”

It is a big city that must pass through the waterway from the sea to the capital, and it is also the station of the Dongping Palace, not only the water and land roads extend in all directions, the market is also very prosperous, the surrounding area is fertile, there are two large salt farms by the sea, among the many vassal kings in this dynasty, it is a good place of the first class, it is said that the queen mother interceded repeatedly in front of the emperor, and only then fought for the youngest son to get this fertile land.

Liu Dongxing and Luo Mingmin have recently helped the Secretary of General Affairs with affairs, and they have been able to access some secrets, and Dongping Mansion has not been peaceful recently

Luo Mingmin said in a deep voice: "From Guihai to the past, except for the Taicheng area, you can take a little rest on the road, only Dongping Mansion is the most prosperous, no matter whose ship it is, from Guihai coastal road to Beijing, there is no reason not to pass through Dongping Mansion." ”

Liu Dongxing pursed his lips: "Not only do you have to pass through, but you also have to change to an inland river boat from there...... If you can not stay at the Dongping Mansion Wharf for more than a day, and immediately change to a small boat to rush after entering the port, you should not provoke anything......" paused, "But Dongping Wang Zhengfei is the daughter of the Liu family, and the Gu family is in-law, if she is in the palace, the Gu family will definitely go to ask for peace." ”

Luo Mingmin smiled: "Didn't you say...... The sixth young lady of the Gu family regarded the prince of Dongping as a life-saving benefactor, but forgot about you? She must be looking forward to seeing her benefactor."

Liu Dongxing's face sank like water, and after a while, he smiled coldly: "That's not good, my fiancée is also with them, and there are your fourth aunts and sisters, how can they be contaminated with such trouble?" Nothing less...... It's going to be a little tricky."

(Guess what these two will do?) ）
