Chapter 28: Russell (5)
I thought that the so-called man in the mouth of the kind man was a scholar or a doorkeeper.
But who knows, when I followed the kind old man back to the mansion, I realized that what he lacked was a son.
I became his adopted son in a panic, changed my name to Russell, and went back to living a life of fine clothes and food.
Let's talk about my new father, he is an important minister of the court, and his mansion is in the capital. That family lineage is ten, and even a hundred Liu families can't compare.
There is no main mother in the family, except for my father, there is only one daughter who is two years younger than me, surnamed Luo, whose name is known as painting.
Sister Zhihua is a well-bred girl, everyone is beautiful, knowledgeable, gentle and quiet, without the pampered temper of a large family.
I was also very welcome.
Therefore, when I came to Luofu, I was not treated harshly, but like a real family, enjoying the warmth that I had not enjoyed for a long time.
In March, the peach blossoms died.
I was thinking about how to write a poem about peach blossoms so that my father's eyes would shine.
Zhihua's sister came to me wearing a pale pink dress, smiling like a blooming orchid, "Brother Su, what are you doing?" ”
"Painting" I saw my sister Zhihua, and quickly got up, "Why are you here?" ”
I like my sister very much. Her temperament is really similar to her mother.
"I see that you study in the house all day, and I am afraid that you will be bored." Sister Zhihua's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, "So, I want to take you out for a walk." ”
I was slightly stunned when I heard this.
Since ancient times, the saying that women must not show their heads easily has been a deep-rooted thing in Suzhou, let alone the capital.
Why is it that today, Sister Zhihua took the initiative to ask to go out?
"Painting, do you want to leave the house?" After thinking about it, he finally asked.
"I heard that the peach blossoms outside the city are blooming, don't you want to go and see it?" After that, Sister Zhihua looked at my desk and said, "I don't know what Brother Su wants to write, but the four characters of the peach are really real."
Instead of meditating in the house, it is better to go out for a walk. While broadening your horizons, you can also distract yourself, you say? ”
It's been more than half a month since I came to Luofu.
In the past half a month, I have some understanding of my sister who knows how to paint. She's always quiet and easy to get close to, but she doesn't talk much.
Today, it was the first time I had seen her talk so much.
"It's good to go out for a walk, but have you told your father about leaving the house?" From the first day I entered Luofu, my father said that from now on, my sister and I will be brothers and sisters.
In this life, you have to take care of each other" Why don't you wait for your father to go to the morning court and ask his opinion before making a decision? ”
"My father is kind, why is Brother Su so afraid of him?" When my sister saw me like this, she couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, I have already instructed Xiangyang, and she will explain it clearly to her father." ”
After that, I saw that she thought about it and said, "What's more, we are going out this time with Brother Yusheng and Sister Qing'er, and my father will not allow it." ”
"Brother Yusheng, sister Qing'er?" I'm a little confused.
"Hmm" mentioned these two people, and the delicate and gentle face of the younger sister of Zhihua had a sense of brilliance for the first time, "It is the major general and the eldest lady of the general's mansion!" ”
When I heard this, I was two people from prominent families. In my heart, I was somewhat reluctant.
"In that case, I'd better not go!" I laughed dryly for a while, and then said, "I didn't know them for a long time when I first came to the capital, let alone their character. What's more, my identity is somewhat embarrassing......"
How smart a person my sister is, how can she not know my concerns?
Seeing her smile, she said softly, "Brother Su, don't worry, our family and the General's Mansion are world friends, and the relationship has always been very close."
Not to mention that my father and General Murong are old friends, Yusheng's brother and Qing'er's sister also grew up with me since childhood, and they are all extremely easy people to get along with. ”
After that, Sister Zhihua comforted again, "Besides, now that you are the eldest son of the Luo family, you have to meet these people." ”
I saw that my sister had said something about this, and it was hard to refuse. Otherwise, it would seem that I am being too stingy.
So, I had to clean up at random, and I went with my sister Zhihua.
On the carriage, Sister Zhihua kept talking to me about Brother Yusheng and Sister Qing'er. It's just to praise the brother and sister to the sky.
I listened on the surface, but in my heart I kept thinking about how to get in the middle of those two sons and sisters with prominent family backgrounds. Miss behaved generously, so as not to embarrass the Luo family.
……
The carriage swayed to the peach blossom forest outside the city, and after the mother-in-law and maids had set up hot tea and food in the pavilion, they retreated outside to guard.
The six-year-old sister of Zhihua sat opposite me, probing her brain, very impatient.
"Painting, what's wrong with you today? It seems that I can't sit still at all. I couldn't help but ask.
You know, these days, I have only seen the shadow of my mother in my sister, but I have never seen a child's naughtyness.
So when I saw her like this, I was a little curious.
Sister Zhihua instantly blushed, "Where is it!" Brother Su talks nonsense! ”
After finishing speaking, before I could speak, a little girl wearing a big red dress and looking white and clean rushed over not far away, "Sister! Sister! ”
When Sister Zhihua heard this, she hurriedly got up, "Qing'er, be careful!" ”
However, the voice did not fall. I saw the little red thing pop and fall straight to the ground.
"Qing'er!" Before the little girl could get up, a boy the same age as me immediately picked her up, "Qing'er, where did you fall?" Does it hurt? Kindness? ”
After that, he hurriedly rubbed the girl through the clothes, and coaxed, "Don't be so anxious in the future, my brother will be distressed if he falls." ”
When the girl heard this, the wrinkled face that originally wanted to cry immediately laughed, "Brother, Qing'er doesn't hurt." ”
After that, I saw that she immediately turned her face and stomped her feet on the ground three times, "It's all to blame for this place, it's okay to look so potholed, it hurts Qing'er to fall and not to mention, and it makes my brother and sister feel distressed!" ”
"Yes, it's all bad in this place! Brother Gai Ming'er asked people to fill it in! The boy laughed as well.
Between words, it's all. Pet. Love.
Sister Zhihua looked at everything in front of her, and it seemed to be very ordinary.
But I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
It turns out that the so-called Brother Yusheng and Sister Qing'er are so temperamental! One light will be coquettish and mess around, and the other is a typical sister slave.
Obviously, the girl accidentally fell down by herself, but she can still find a reason, which is really funny.
It's just that I pity the flat grass, and I carry a black pot for no reason. I don't know how the boy wants to "fill in" this "potholed" meadow, is it possible, and pile it into a hill?
I was thinking about it, but the little red group ran up to me at some point, "Sister, who is he?" My face stinks! ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but glare at the girl.
Where does your face stink? Obviously, the jade tree is in the wind, and he is very handsome!
"Oops, brother, he bullied me!" After that, he hurriedly said, "Quickly gouge out his eyes and kick them as a ball!" ”
As soon as I heard it, the cold sweat that had been breaking out had not yet dried, and now it had increased a little for no reason.
Good guy, did I recruit you or provoke you. I was born with big eyes, is there something wrong?
Hey, it looks like a guy who is about four years old, how can he be so vicious. It's like...... Just like Liu Meier!
That's right, Liu Meier!
The appearance is innocent and bright, and he doesn't understand anything with a child. But in fact, a heart has long been black!
"Okay, okay" In the end, Sister Zhihua stood up and said, "Qing'er, don't mess around, this is Brother Su." ”
After that, I saw her say to the man, "Brother Yusheng, this is my brother, Russell." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to me and said, "Brother Su, this is Brother Yusheng and Sister Qing'er of the General's Mansion." ”
I nodded, thinking about how to get back to her.
saw Murong Yusheng clenching his fists and said, "It turned out to be the eldest son of the Luo family, fortunately." ”
"Luckily!"
"Brother Su, my little sister has always been rushed by her family, and she is a little nonsense, but her heart is not bad." Murong Yusheng glanced at Murong Yuqing, and explained, "What she said just now was just a joke, and I ask Brother Su not to take it to heart." ”
I listened to Murong Yusheng's words, and I was a little surprised.
is worthy of being the son of the Murong family, he is young, but he is mature and sophisticated in speaking, and he is not rude.
Seeing this, I don't want to lose face in front of my sister Zhihua. So, he said, "I won't take it to heart, don't worry." ”
But in the bottom of his heart, he didn't know how many eyes Murong Yusheng had.
You don't care if you know your sister is messing around? I couldn't manage it well when I was a child, and I don't know how many people I have harmed when I grow up. It's like...... Just like Liu Meier!
We sat down in the pavilion, tasted tea and enjoyed flowers, and talked about poetry and songs.
I sat quietly on the sidelines, feeling embarrassed.
In Suzhou, such an older child is either still playing with mud, or only knows how to carry his husband on his back and draw a little turtle. Where will it be like the children in the capital, who can freely go out of the house to meet friends, and what they talk about in their words is everyone's masterpiece.
……
My sister and I didn't go back to Fuzhong from outside the city until after noon.
In these few hours, I have a thorough understanding of the two brothers and sisters of the Murong family.
Murong Yusheng is a tough guy, although he is young, his martial arts are excellent. He is polite to everyone, and has an excellent grasp of intimacy.
But only for Murong Yuqing's younger sister, there is no sense of proportion. The way I felt sorry for my sister made me goosebumps even when I saw it.
And that Murong Yuqing is indeed a quilt. Pet. Broken kids. It doesn't seem to have any bad intentions, but it's really unreasonable.
It stands to reason that the two of the Murong family are not bad, and the relationship with Zhihua's sister is also extremely close, and the Murong family is a family friend of the Luo family.
But for some reason, I just can't mention the slightest liking for them. On the contrary, I always want to fight them.
So, the three of them had a great time. But for me, a few hours have passed, and it has been like sitting on pins and needles.
……
I thought that I would have to explain to my father when I went back. But who knows, my father just asked a few words. After learning that Sister Zhihua was going out with someone from the Murong family, he didn't say anything more. But let each of us go back to our own yard and rest.
……
After meeting the Murong siblings, I was very happy to meet a different sister of Zhihua. The etiquette is thorough, and there is a degree of advance and retreat. Gentle and quiet, there is no lack of agility and innocence. Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit.
Soon, however, I noticed something unusual.
……
Ever since I got acquainted with those two siblings, Sister Zhihua would take me with her every time she played with them. The four villains either met in the General's Mansion or in the Luo Mansion, as if they had become the "four inseparable" in the capital. ”
Every time, when Sister Zhihua and Murong Yusheng stayed together, they would talk a lot. But when she separated from them, she became the girl who could only laugh again.
Damn it!
Zhihua's sister is only six years old, so won't she secretly promise her heart to Murong Yusheng, right? How can this work?
……
The life in the Luo family was very comfortable, and I quickly integrated into the family. regarded himself as the eldest son of the Luo family, and regarded him as the brother of his sister.
However, no matter how comfortable I am, I can't forget the hurt and pain brought to me by the Liu family in Suzhou!
I have always believed that Heaven has its own destiny in the dark.
I can meet my father and become a member of the Luo family. It's that God wants to give me the right to take revenge and crush the Liu family!
So, I'm trying hard to learn all sorts of things. Just for the sentence I said when I left the Liu family, "When I earn a lifetime of glory and wealth, fame and fortune, and come to you again to settle today's account!" ”
……
My father really felt sorry for me and treated me as his own son. I didn't get half a point of disadvantage just because I picked it up halfway.
He found me the best teacher to teach me to read, and even invited Wu Zhuangyuan from the current dynasty to be my master and teach me martial arts. I hope that one day I can enter the career and carry forward the Luo family.
However, let me study the literature well, but dancing with knives and guns is really not my strong point. Just after practicing kung fu with that martial artist for more than half a month, I fell ill three times.
In addition, every time I close my eyes, I am the same as when my mother died tragically. I always thought that in order to no longer be powerless in the future, I must learn a body of medical skills.
So, after the third time he was cured, he refused to go to Zhanamabu again no matter what.
This is the first time I have been against my father, kneeling outside my father's study, kowtowing for a long time to make amends, "Daddy, my son is really not the material for martial arts, please don't let Master come over again!" ”
From morning to noon, I don't know how many times I said this, before my father opened the door of the study, "Su'er, do you know who the master who taught you martial arts is?" He is the martial champion of the dynasty!
It is a great blessing for you to have him teach you! Now that you say that if you don't learn, you won't learn, how will the people in the court view being a father in the future? ”
