Chapter 5: Cool Cousin
The moonlight was cold, and everyone sat together, but he was the only one sitting at the end, and there were only two plates of pickled cabbage in front of him.
And he sat silently in the night, his expression was faint, and he could not see joy or anger.
Suddenly, the tip of Liu Luo's nose was sour.
She remembered the days when she lived alone in the cold palace in her previous life, and the palace was used to stepping on the high and praising the low, and she was a good hand at welcoming her, and seeing that she had fallen out of favor, the Internal Affairs Office broke off her early. In the cold winter, she curled up in a thin quilt with a high fever, and there was not even a maid beside her who could pour water.
Everyone retired after being full of wine and food, and Liu Luoying also returned to the tent with Liu Qingqing.
After Yingchun groomed her, she couldn't hold back after all, and asked, "Sister, isn't the second brother of the Luo family not treated well in the Luo family on weekdays?" ”
Liu Qingqing glanced at her, her eyebrows full of puzzlement: "What are you asking for?" You don't like to talk about him the most on weekdays. ”
Liu Luoying smiled bitterly in her heart: where did she not like it, she clearly forgot all about Luo Ting.
But she couldn't say it clearly, and said secretly, "It's not a big disaster...... I thought that the clan peers could also help each other. ”
Liu Qingqing glanced at her a few more times, and then said slowly, "Your second cousin is also a miserable person, and my grandfather had already relented some time ago and wanted to include him in the genealogy." Who knew that his biological mother, who was in the outer room, saw that the situation in Beijing was not right, and eloped with someone overnight. Grandfather was angry, even Luo Ting was suspicious, and now he didn't abandon him halfway, which is already considered merciful. ”
Liu Luoying was a little stunned.
thought that Luo Ting was wronged enough to be excluded everywhere because of his bad background. Who would have thought that there would be such a thing in the middle of the way. is such an unobtrusive biological mother on the stall.
Not to mention the admission of the grandfather's family, who are valued for face, I am afraid that in terms of blood orthodoxy, the Luo family is also suspicious.
She tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't sleep. In the second half of the night, I don't know if I caught a cold, or suddenly ate too much meat, but I felt a sudden throbbing pain in my stomach, and then I turned over the river and the sea, as if it was a sharp blade stirring back and forth in my stomach.
Her complexion suddenly turned from red to white, her whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and cold sweat was oozing from her forehead.
Liu Luoying wanted to wake up Liu Qingqing, but she saw Sister Ah sleeping soundly on her side, and in order to take care of her these days, she finally slept peacefully. He gritted his teeth, crept down from the couch, pulled off his cloak and wrapped it indiscriminately, and went to the package outside the tent to rummage through the pills.
But in a panic, he couldn't find anything, but threw the porcelain vase on the ground, making a crisp sound.
The night sinks like water, and everything is silent.
When Luo Ting followed the sound and arrived, he saw Liu Luoying fall to the ground. The brocade fur cloak was spread out, the petite body curled up helplessly, the thin eyebrows were furrowed, and the usually delicate little face was now wrinkled tightly, trembling all over.
He didn't have time to think about it, so he took off his robe and waited for someone to take him into his arms, galloped on horseback, and rushed to the hospital overnight.
Liu Luoying burned in a daze, woke up once halfway, saw the long and thin figure on his side, and thought that he was back to the days when he quarreled with Lin Peiyan and lived in the cold palace and dripping into ice, so he hurriedly grabbed the man's sleeve and shook it slightly: "Don't leave me......"
Luo Ting paused, his crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and he responded softly, "Okay." ”
When Liu Luoying woke up, the sky was already bright, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar auspicious patterns on the ceiling, and thought that she was back in the tent.
She thought that last night was a dream, but when she moved slightly, her limbs were burning like fire.
There was a sound of broken footsteps outside the tent, the cloud pattern curtain of Sixi Ruyi was lifted, Liu Qingqing walked in, looking at her emaciated little face full of distress, "You Nizi, you don't know if you are sick, if you hadn't seen Luo Ting rushing back with you in her arms this morning, who would have known that you had made such a big sin last night!" ”
Seeing that Sister A's eyes were red, Liu Luoying was relieved, looked around, and didn't see Luo Ting's figure, and asked tentatively, "Sister, have you seen my second cousin?" ”
Liu Qingqing lifted her eyelids and replied angrily, "I received my grandfather's punishment and was kneeling outside the house." ”
"Kneeling?"
As soon as Liu Luoying's words came out, she realized that her reaction was a little out of shape, and she was busy adjusting her emotions, and said: "Sister, I was not very conscious yesterday, you can tell me in detail." ”
Liu Qingqing poked her head, and then said: "I didn't see you this morning, I only saw your cloak outside the tent, it was a mess up and down, my father was about to take someone to look for you in person, only to see that Luo Ting brought you back, you are still asleep, disheveled, and even your shirt is gone." Although he is your second cousin, he is also a man after all, fortunately, at that time, the subordinates were all sent out, if this is seen by others, how will you say kiss in the future? It's good to punish him for kneeling. ”
Liu Luoying's heart suddenly sank, and she vaguely remembered that her second cousin took her to the hospital last night, and took care of herself all night, but she was afraid that she didn't have much rest, and she was punished when she came back.
Moreover, this can be regarded as a reason for this.
If you change someone else, it will probably be a few reprimands, but if you change Luo Ting, I am afraid that there is no one to intercede.
Now it's freezing outside, and if you kneel for a long time, I'm afraid that your body and bones will fall to the root of the disease.
If it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have to suffer this sin.
As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly couldn't sit still, and she wanted to get up, but she was held down by Sister A: "What do you want to do?" It's all like this, let's stop a little, my father has instructed you to rest well, you can sleep for a while, I'll go see if the pigeon soup is stewed, and I'll bring it to you to warm up. ”
After speaking, Liu Qingqing got up and lifted the cloud pattern curtain and went out.
Luo Ting was still kneeling outside, how could Liu Luoying rest so carelessly.
She waited for her sister's footsteps outside the tent to go away, got up and took out the ointment for chilblains and the soft cushion made of rabbit fur from her baggage, put it in her arms, and quietly slipped out.
The tents of the Liu and Luo families were set up in one place, and it was easy to find people, and after walking a few steps, she saw Luo Ting.
Even when he knelt there, the young man's back was still straight, like a sharp blade unsheathed without frost and snow, quiet and silent. I don't know how long I've been kneeling, and I've turned a blind eye to the whispering taunts of people who pass by from time to time.
Liu Luoying's heart moved.
The current Luo Ting is just a young man with a weak crown, but his every move seems to have revealed Ling Ran's bones.
She stepped forward quickly, just now she couldn't see it really from a distance, but when she looked closer, she noticed that the young man was only wearing a single coat, and his face was slightly pale.
Seeing Liu Luoying coming, he raised his eyes lightly, as if kneeling there was not himself at all.
Liu Luoying bit her lip, took out all the things in her arms, and said in a low voice: "This is chilblain cream, you can fight the cold when you apply it to your body." ”
Although Luo Ting didn't show it, she also knew that if she knelt for a long time in such weather, not to mention other places, her knees must have frostbite.
So, she took out the soft cushion again, looked around, and handed it over like a thief: "This, you put it in your clothes, others can't see it." ”
said, and felt a little guilty: "It's all because of me, otherwise you wouldn't have been punished by your grandfather." ”
