Sure enough, in the face of Brother Yusheng, Russell never said good things in his mouth, "You just let her provoke her, anyway, with her unpleasant temperament, she can only respond to others, but she has never been wronged by herself." ”

With that, Russell tilted his head to the side and stopped talking.

Brother Yusheng was slightly stunned, although his face was full of smiles, but he really couldn't find the words to answer him.

Seeing this, I had to be slightly disappointed and said, "Qing'er left this time, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing." Our capital is "inseparable", and this time it is scattered. ”

"It's good if the heart is not scattered," Brother Yusheng comforted, "Qing'er is just going out to avoid the limelight this time, and when this matter is over, she will come back." ”

"Even if you meet a worldly master, you have to avoid the limelight for three or five years." Russell saw that Yusheng's brother and I were chatting happily, so he popped out a few words that he didn't like to hear: "When she returns, I don't know if her temperament will change."

If it changes, it is naturally good, if it is the same as always, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a good son-in-law. After all, in three or five years, she will be an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. ”

"Russell!" I stomped my foot, but I didn't dare to say that he wasn't.

Although Russell was an orphan rescued by his father outside, he was raised as his own son all these years.

He wanted to study medicine, so his father found him a master who was outside the world as his master. He has a high temperament, so his father does not force him to be with the officials. In Luofu, he is the son, and he is my brother. As a little sister, I naturally didn't refute my brother's reasoning.

Brother Yusheng's love for Qing'er's sister has always been unmatched except for General Murong. Qing'er's temperament is indeed a little stronger, so it doesn't hurt for Russell to say a few words.

It's just that Fang Cai's words, listening to the ears of Brother Yusheng, are somewhat vicious. As a result, it is inevitable that he will open his mouth to respond, "Qing'er's innocence and brilliance are the most rare, and I don't know how many men in the world will bow down under her pomegranate skirt."

Even if she has been away for many years, she has never met the man she likes. The General's Mansion will also support her for the rest of her life. So...... Brother Luo's worries are really a little too much. ”

After that, Brother Yusheng politely hugged his fist towards Russell and said, "Yusheng still has important things to do, so I won't accompany Brother Luo to pass the time." Leave! ”

"Don't send it!" Russell lifted his chin, extremely proud.

When I saw Brother Yusheng turn around and leave, and saw Russell's unstable appearance, I suddenly felt very funny in my heart.

Brother Yusheng is an upright person, but he is not very good-mouthed. So every time he had a quarrel with Russell, even if he was idle all day, he would definitely leave under the pretext of something.

Every time like this, Russell would be very proud, feeling that Brother Yusheng was not as good as him. But Russell didn't know that Yusheng's brother knew him well. I know that if I talk to him a lot, he will definitely not give up. Therefore, I quickly found an excuse to leave, too lazy to spend time with him.

It's just that I pity me, and now it's very embarrassing between Yusheng's brother and Russell. Once the opening is off, then don't think about Ansheng for the next few days.

If he opened his mouth to help Yusheng's brother, then Russell must have been nagging. But if I opened my mouth to help Russell, I always felt very weak in my heart, as if I had betrayed Yusheng's brother.

It would be nice if Sister Qing'er was still there, no matter what Russell said, she would be able to pinch him. The two people are like cats and dogs, they don't seem to get along, but after so many years, they are getting used to each other more and more in the constant "struggle".

If they make trouble with them, Brother Yusheng and I will be much more relaxed. It's just that...... Qing'er's sister left in the end.

I didn't say where to go, and I didn't know when I would return.

……

It has been a while since Qing'er's sister left the capital. I, Yusheng's brother and Russell gradually came out of the loss of Qing'er's sister's departure.

It's just that because there is no sister Qing'er, I can't show my head and run to the general's mansion again. Staying in the house all day long, the days are extremely boring.

I practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, but I still feel that I can't pass the time. The maid always said, let me go and find Russell. Maybe you can even learn some medical skills in case you need it.

But how did they know that Russell always thought I was too quiet and couldn't talk to him, so I might as well pass the time like Qing'er's sister.

Ahem, this brother, it's really annoying.

But......

Whatever?

What kind of character am I, as long as Brother Yusheng likes it......

But, having said that, Russell was very fond of me. He puts me first in everything and thinks about me everywhere, and he is a good brother. Even my father said that after a hundred years, Russell should take care of me so that I would not be bullied by others.

……

On this day, the weather was just right.

After I played the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" in the yard, I was no longer interested. So, I thought about finding Russell to relieve my boredom.

But when I walked outside his yard, I saw him sweating profusely under the sun, fiddling with his herbs.

He looked so focused that he didn't even know that I was standing outside the door and coughing a few times.

Seeing this, I couldn't bear to be disturbed, so I had to go back the way I came, intending to go back and take a nap.

Sister Qing'er once said that if you don't know what to do, just sleep. Anyway, you can dream as soon as you close your eyes. When I woke up again, I had passed the time for several hours unconsciously.

Of course, this was just the idea she gave me. A clever person like Sister Qing'er doesn't have to think of ways to pass the time. She has a lot of new things to do every day.

I used to think it was a bad idea, but now, I'm going to give it a try.

……

When I passed by my father's study, I found that the door of the study was open. The father sat firmly in his chair, carefully examining a night pearl as big as an egg in his hand.

I've seen the Night Pearl, but it's the first time it's as big as an egg. Moreover, this night pearl in front of me seems to be a little different.

The general pearl of the night only shines in the dark. But the one in my father's hand, even in the blue sky and white day, still flashed a few rays of light, so magical.

Now that I have passed through my father's study, there is such a good baby in it. Why don't you go in and ask for a good night.

Thinking of this, I walked in with a lotus step and a smile, "My daughter knows how to paint, and I have seen my father." ”

My father was stunned, looked up at me, and then smiled and said, "It's a painting......

"Daddy, you must have come to the study at once, and you don't even need food." I looked at the food that had been colded down and couldn't help but be a little worried, "If you don't eat on time for a long time, it's not good for your body." ”

"You've always been the most caring. Your brother has been here just now, but he didn't pay attention so carefully. After that, the father said, "By the way, what is the matter with you coming to find your father?" ”

"Daddy, can't I look for you if it's okay?" I stepped forward and helped my father rub his shoulder.

"Where is that? Is there any place in this house where my baby daughter can't go? My father's eyes widened, and he was very pleased.

When I saw this, I covered my mouth and smiled, "After all, it's not the blame daddy?" I was just about to take a nap, but who knew that the night pearls in my father's study were bright, and they were all shining in my daughter's yard. My daughter felt dazzling, so she came over to take a look. ”

"You!" My father patted my hand and said with a smile, "Where is it that you are so mysterious?" ”

"Okay" My father is an old man, so he naturally knows that I am lying. So, knowing that he was lost, he hurriedly explained, "Qing'er is not in the capital now, and my daughter always feels empty in her heart, and her life is very slow."

Daddy, you have official business to do, and Brother Su is busy studying medical skills all day long. In this huge Luo Mansion, there is no one to accompany her daughter to pass the time, which is really boring. ”

"Hahaha" When my father heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, "You are right, when the girl of the Murong family was there before, you always wanted to run to the general's mansion." Now, I'm afraid I can't find an excuse, right? ”

After that, my father said, "Alas...... In the end, the female university is not staying. It seems that I have to find you a good husband and marry you as soon as possible. In this way, you can teach your husband and children, and you will have endless work all day long, so you will not feel that time is unbearable. ”

The Luo family is a scholarly family, and his father has always been enlightened. Therefore, it is natural to understand that women can't show their heads and be boring in the boudoir.

It's just that when I listened to my father's words, my heart burned a little hypocritically, "Daddy, what are you talking about!" ”

"Painting," my father handed the night pearl in his hand to mine, and continued, "What do you think of this pearl? This is what the emperor rewarded today's father. It is said that it is a bead from the East China Sea, which is why it is so large and sleek.

Not only can it shine at night, but even during the day, it will emit light, which is invaluable. Daddy has thought about it, when you get married, Daddy must take this pearl of the night as your dowry......"

"Daddy" I was still carefully looking at the night pearl in my hand, but listening to my father's words became more and more mysterious, and I lost that interest, "Why are you still talking about this?" My daughter is still young, where can I get married so soon?

Besides, my mother went early, and Brother Su put all his thoughts on medical skills. If your daughter gets married, who else in this house can take care of you? If your daughter doesn't follow her, if you mention this again, your daughter will be angry! ”

"You kid," the father shook his head, "how old are you this year, and where are you still young?" If you don't take advantage of the good age to get married, do you have to wait until people are old and yellow? ”

After that, his father said again, "You and that kid from the Murong family have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they are in love, do you think your father doesn't know?" Painting, Yusheng's kid is good, he is honest and promising.

What's more, he is the only son of the General's Mansion, and he will inherit the Murong family in the future. After you get married, you will be a young lady, so naturally you can't be wronged. In addition, we are friends with the Murong family, and we know the roots, so we can't be wrong! ”

After speaking, my father thought about it and continued to say to me, "Yusheng, that child grew up under the watch, and he knows your mind best with your father." Now in the capital, the Murong family and our Luo family are on equal footing.

General Murong is the leader of the military generals, and my father and I are also the best among civilian officials. The two of us have already been the masters of high achievement. Although the emperor is benevolent, he is still a decisive emperor in the end. Daddy really doesn't know if he will knock on the mountain and shake the tiger and make a move.

Painting, the situation in the capital is changing rapidly. Whether it is the Murong family or the Luo family, there is no room for any mistakes......"

"So Daddy wants the Murong family to marry the Luo family and make the two families stronger?" I listened for a while, and finally I heard my father's words, "But...... Since Daddy has realized that the two families are high-powered, why should they join forces instead of taking a few steps back? ”

"Silly painting, do you think Daddy doesn't want to?" Speaking of this, my father sighed, "Over the years, how many steps have General Murong and I retreated?" I handed over all the rights to the imperial examination, and the Murong family continued to weaken the military power in their hands.

But what happens in the end? Not only did she not gain the complete trust of the Queen Mother and the emperor, but she was repeatedly knocked on the side by the two masters. In the eyes of outsiders, the Murong family and the Luo family are solid, and only we know how hard it is to support the honor and disgrace of an entire family.

Since the regression cannot be perfect, the only way to do it is to marry the two families and join forces before the court makes a move against us. What about future generations, Daddy doesn't have the energy to care. Daddy only hopes that he can survive two more generations to keep you and your children.

As long as the two families marry, then the Murong family and the Luo family are not world friends, but in-laws. Even, it can be said that it is one! At that time, even if the Queen Mother and the emperor have any thoughts, they will definitely think more and dare not act rashly. ”

Speaking of this, my father gently stroked my hair and said earnestly, "Painting, although there is a purpose for you to marry the Murong family. But more than that, I hope you can be happy.

You and Yu Sheng's child have a concubine, and it is suitable. Daddy handed you over to him, Daddy rest assured! ”

After finishing speaking, his father suddenly looked in the direction of Russell's yard, "Besides, you are indeed not young, and you should get married." Su'er has been kind to you since she was a child and treats you like a treasure. That kind of affection seems to be beyond that of brother and sister......"

"Daddy, what do you say!" I was shocked, and hurriedly said, "He's a brother!" ”

"He's not related to you! You know this, I know him, and even the entire capital knows. My father looked at me and said, "You have been mixed together since childhood, and it is inevitable that he will have other thoughts." Daddy treats him as his own son, and he doesn't want to see him think about you that he shouldn't have done anything about you. ”

After speaking, his father said again, "Hua'er, since you and Yusheng have hearts for each other, Daddy will make the decision and marry you to him!" ”

"Daddy!" I was so anxious that I stomped my foot: "Where is there a woman to talk about these things?" You go to the general's mansion and tell General Murong that you want to marry your own daughter to his son. This...... This is too much of a loss of identity. ”
