60 cardamom

When the Luo family came to the door, Lu Ying was frowning and reading the letter sent by Qiu Yu.

"What are the Japanese doing in the South China Sea?" Lu Ying found her grandfather's study, saw him playing chess with her grandmother, remembered the thick official documents on her desk, and saw the elders fishing, and felt even more unhappy.

Lu Ying was unhappy, no one should think about it, He held the letter against the door panel, and did not speak, just looked at it expressionlessly.

was looked at so coldly by the villain, Lu Fang and Mu Yue's chess immediately couldn't play.

Mu Yue conveyed the message with his eyes: Xiaofang, our grandson is getting stronger and stronger.

Lu Fang replied with his eyes: This is the case for people who have more power in their hands.

Lu Ying is a relatively tolerant person in front of his subordinates, as long as he does his job well, he does not violate the law and discipline, he doesn't care about many things, he will scold at most if he makes a small mistake, and if he makes a big mistake, he will be directly dragged to the road repair team...... But that's because he thinks he's the boss, so he naturally has to bear a little more, and he doesn't have this heart in front of his elders.

Lu Ying said: "There are Japanese pirates in the South China Sea, have you received the news?" ”

Lu Fang: "No. ”

I was very tired just taking care of the things at hand, and I didn't take Lu Jiajun out for a while now.

Mu Yue: "No." ”

Grandma just came back from Europa, how could she know this news.

According to our rules, when they come to the South China Sea, they must register the names and origins of the ships and leaders in our ports for future investigation. ”

By implication, why aren't your people reporting this information? Is it that they are so incompetent that they don't notice, or is there a traitor in the Lu family?

Lu Fang stood up and said solemnly: "I'll check." ”

In fact, the ocean is so big, and the flow of people in the port is increasing year by year, they can't control everything in their hands, there will always be omissions, Lu Ying is just here to remind him, after saying that the villain is gone, he has a lot to do, after three hours of work, he still has to ponder the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, insist on practicing martial arts, and occasionally drive a boat to the sea to play with the sea beasts.

His schedule is like this, six hours to sleep, eat and wash, three hours to work, three hours to belong to himself, and no one is allowed to disturb it.

Not long after Lu Ying left, someone came to report.

"The Duke of Southwest Yunguo sent someone over, and he has handed over the name post, and the person who came is Luo Zheng of the second room of the Luo family, and Luo Qiyi, the eldest son of the eldest son of the long house."

Mu Yue, as the only master in the family, entertained the two young people.

As a disciple of a famous family, Mu Yue also inherited part of the power from her master, so that she had the capital to travel around the world, and she learned to treat people and things since she was a child.

The second master of Na Luo is an old and sophisticated fox, and when he opened his mouth, he opened his mouth to say a string of compliments, and he didn't mention much about the matter, probably because he felt that this old chivalrous woman who was not on Qiongya Island all the year round was not popular, and it was a waste of time to talk to her about practice and affect the atmosphere.

Mu Yue was not annoyed, and followed Luo Erye's words a few times, and learned that this family also brought a lot of Yunnan specialties to give to Lu Ying, and proposed that the two adults were also colleagues with a good relationship when they were officials in the court (they had never met but were both emperors), so it was better to develop further and let the two juniors also be friends.

Then he said that Luo Qiyi has a little sister, who is eleven years old this year, and is also a descendant of the Guogong Mansion, with a noble status and a dignified and quiet temperament, this time the Luo family sent someone to buy real estate in Qiongshan City, so that Miss Luo could be sent here to relax and see the sea or something.

It is a common situation for big families to dispose of various places, the Lu family also has land in Liangguang, and Lu Ying and Qiu Yu opened mines in Huxiang and Huguang, but in these years, which big family will easily let the girl in the family go out for a walk, and specially mentioned that they have a good personality, saying that they want to make friends with Miss Luo, who is already eleven, and Lu Ying, who is eight years old?

Mu Yue immediately heard the meaning of the other side to get married, but as long as she was the brain of a normal Yu Dynasty big family, she was about to start to move at this moment.

Miss Luo's family has a good background, and the family is famous for being pregnant, among the married women, except for Queen Luo and those who died in the house, the rest of the Luo family's daughters all gave birth to five, and there was no cap, and the most one gave birth to sixteen, from the age of fourteen to thirty-five, and finally died on the delivery bed...... The daughters of the Luo family are very popular in the marriage and love market of the Yu Dynasty, especially those families who have been passed down for several generations, and they are very willing to use a lot of money to hire Luo family girls to strengthen their families.

The ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Heyin, is a daughter, in order not to delay the cause of ruling the South China Sea, it took only a year to give birth to twins, both children are magical humans who love to float on the sea, the eldest son has drifted to the point of disappearance, and the second son Lu Kong gave birth to five children, but unfortunately only one Lu Fang lived, and then passed all the way to Lu Ying's generation.

The Luo family dared to come to the door to directly express their willingness to marry, and it was also expected that the Lu family was in need of population.

But according to the rules of the Lu family, the family affairs of the children and grandchildren are solved by themselves, and the elders generally do not interfere, Lu Fang was single until he was in his thirties, and Lu Kong didn't care, Mu Yue knew Lu Ying's temperament very well, but if she decided Lu Ying's family affairs without authorization today, Lu Ying could shovel the yard where she and Lu Fang lived, and hate the Luo family by the way.

For the sake of the lives of the Luo family's two hundred and twenty-six living people, and for the sake of her own peace of mind on Qiongya Island, Mu Yue decisively pretended to be stupid, politely resigned, and excused herself that she couldn't be the master of some things, and wanted to wait for Lu Fang or Lu Ying to come back after finishing their work, and asked Mother Wei's deputy, Mother Tao, to settle the guests, and sent people away.

Mother Tao stood up and said with a smile: "Second Master Luo, Little Master Luo, please." ”

Second Master Luo was not surprised that Mu Yue had no power to do things at home, so he smiled and followed, but Luo Qiyi was relieved.

He knew that his little sister was difficult, but the Qiongya Lu family was really arrogant, and even the anti-thieves who split the territory and sealed the territory were so easy, he would rather the little sister marry an ordinary portal than her marry on this distant and turbulent island.

What's more, Lu Ying is a killer, he killed the gentry who didn't listen to him on the whole island at a young age, Luo Qiyi is a scholar, and his teacher is a famous Confucian teacher, so he naturally knows that Lu Ying has a bad reputation among literati, and has a cruel and vicious evaluation.

My little sister is so delicate, and when she gets along with such a cruel person, I'm afraid she will be bullied.

At this moment, Mother Tao said respectfully to the two masters of the Luo family: "When we arrive, hot water has been prepared in the yard, and the two distinguished guests can go to freshen up now." ”

Luo Qiyi didn't speak, and Second Master Luo replied: "Thank you, the slaves of the Luo family are here?" Let them serve you, and save your effort. ”

This is also polite, which means that we just want to let our own slaves serve, you go and rest, this is also a common problem of the children of the big clan, one is not to let the Lu family slaves hear their private words, and the other is that outsiders are not attentive to the service.

Mother Tao said calmly: "The rest of your mansion also went to freshen up, I heard that the two of you are going to see Young Master Sun later, there must be no uncleanness in front of the descendants of the rain god, the slaves and maids specially boiled a lot of hot water, if the two don't like outsiders to serve, I'm afraid they will have to wait." ”

Speaking of which, not to mention Luo Qiyi, who was in a bad mood after going to the island, even Second Master Luo changed his face and showed dissatisfaction, but in the end, under the eaves, Second Master Luo is old and sophisticated, and he will not lose his temper easily, he endured this anger, waved his sleeves and asked Mother Tao to send someone to serve.

Luo Qiyi sneered: "It's really a noble Qiongguo Mansion." ”

&

nbsp; He didn't believe in the Lu family's pretending to be gods and ghosts and claiming to be gods, thinking that it was just a lie to deceive the foolish people and foolish women on the island.

The two aristocratic uncles were holding their breath, but when they really entered, they found that there was a very expensive soap on the market next to the bathtub.

[Since getting on the Lu family's ship, Qiu Yu finally dared to take out the soap and sell it......]

The smell of soap with milk and tea is fresh and elegant, not only can wash people extremely clean, but the skin seems to be more smooth, and it is not a maid who comes to serve, but a slave with rough hands and feet.

The servants silently and neatly washed the hair of Second Master Luo and Luo Qiyi, and when they came out of the water and dressed, they carefully trimmed their nails, and some people took out blades to trim their beards, sideburns, and eyebrows.

After this whole process, the fatigue caused by the journey seems to have been washed away, and the two uncles can't say with a clear conscience that the service given by the Lu family is not good.

Sitting at the dinner table, there are servants who serve coconut chicken, sweet and sour fish, bone broth stewed vegetables, and noodle soup with shrimp meat.

Luo Erye and Luo Qiyi sighed: "A few years ago, I went to Fuzhou Road, which is the hometown of Jiao Xia, the second assistant of the cabinet, whose clan land has thousands of hectares, and the ancestral house is beautiful, like a fairyland on earth, there are 36 dishes on the dinner table, and even when the guests go out to congratulate, there are beautiful people to serve, and there are three to five cardamom girls to warm the bed at night, which is really the world."

Heaven, when the Lu family was entertaining, there was no woman. ”

Luo Qiyi thought that his uncle was complaining that there was no woman to serve, but Luo Erye was silent for a while, and said: "The Lu family is upright, the people in the house are doing things, and the children of the Lu family are already in charge of practice, I think they are down-to-earth and practical people from the head of the family to the grandchildren, if there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, they can prosper for another three generations." ”

This is true, Rocky escaped into this door, and found that even the master's family did not have jewels and clothes, and the servants and maids would not be wrapped in Ayaluo, raising any deputy young lady and deputy young master, and the whole family was clean and tidy from top to bottom, and the appearance of doing things neatly.

Thinking of the fact that this family has resisted the Japanese in the South China Sea for many years and has sacrificed a lot, and the Luo family, who guards the southwest, even has a feeling of sympathy for them, so Luo Qiyi said that the perception of this family is good, but it is not bad.

He was just puzzled: "Second uncle, why do you want a woman to serve you?" ”

Second Master Luo suddenly stopped talking, his brows furrowed, and he waved his hand: "Don't ask this, it's not a clean thing!" ”

Luo Er Ye remembered that he had taken the examination when he was young, and there was a young master of the Jiao family in the same department, so he was dragged to his house, when he was still a boy, he saw a woman to serve when he came out of Gong, he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to refuse, the woman saw that he didn't like it, and the Jiao family sent into his house at night was not a cardamom girl, but a beautiful young man......

The young Luo Erye was so frightened that he escaped from Jiao's house, standing on the street and wandering at a loss, remembering that his father said proudly in ancient times that he had followed Kailong Ye how to defeat the Northern Mengzi Tartars, and mentioned that it was a pity that the military generals were not good at governing the country, but fortunately, there were Jiao Xia, Han Feng and other Wenchen who had passed down poems and books in the Meng Dynasty and repeatedly became big officials to help.

After the Jiao family overnight, Luo Er Ye didn't want to go to the court, he felt that it was the dirtiest place in the world, although it was full of well-dressed literati, but those people were secretly dirty and disgusting, he would rather stay in the southwest and fight with the South Vietnamese, it doesn't matter if he is injured, it doesn't matter if he has to worry about military salaries every year, the dirtiest beggars in the southwest are cleaner than the Jiao family.

Before bringing his nephew to Qiongya Island, Second Master Luo thought that the Lu family was still rich above the Jiao family, and he was afraid that he would be even poorer and more luxurious, but who knew that the family was clean, there were no stone lions at the door, only two big frogs, and the whole mansion was solemn and solemn that had been washed by the rain from top to bottom.

When Second Master Luo got out of the carriage, he also saw a woman leading a child over to touch the stone frog, but the guards in front of the Lu family did not drive away, and waved to the child with a smile, which shows that the Lu family is very popular here.

This Lu family claims to be a god descendant, and it really does what a god descendant should be, guarding the South China Sea and accumulating thousands of merits, Luo Er Ye patted his nephew on the shoulder and said: "If your sister can marry here, I'm afraid she will be really blessed, this is a good family." ”

At this moment, a servant came to report: "Two distinguished guests, Young Master Sun is back." ”

The Luo family sent people over, marriage is secondary, the main thing is to talk about business, Lu Ying is here, and business can be discussed.

Second Master Luo dusted off his sleeves and said to his nephew, "Let's go, go and meet that Young Master Lu." ”

Luo Qiyi listened to Luo Erye's words, and for the first time in his heart, he no longer rejected the matter of marriage, and followed the slave to the east of Lu Mansion with his second uncle, and when he was close to the courtyard where Lu Ying lived, Luo Qiyi first saw a plaque with the words "Yongkang Academy" written on it.

A tall young man with a white beard came to invite them in, and the young man called himself Xiao Zhu, and his voice was clear and pleasant, and his manners were excellent.

Upon entering the academy, Rocky saw a swing hanging from the thick branches of a verdant tree, and a child in white sat reading a document on it, with a thick stack of books and pen and ink on the sandalwood table next to it.

The warm wind blowing at the transition of spring and summer blew, Lu Ying brushed her somewhat scattered sideburns behind her snow-white ears, and her hair still carried the moisture after bathing, and the black hair was loosely tied into a bunch with blue silk, and the black hair and blue silk swayed together in the wind.

He raised his eyes, his deep eyes casually swept over Second Master Luo and Luo Qiyi, and said unhurriedly: "Please come into the house and sit." ”

Lu Ying got up and entered the house, although he stepped forward to greet him without seeing anyone, which could be regarded as arrogant, but it did not offend Luo Qiyi, because he had been shocked by Lu Ying's appearance at this time, and he could not say anything else.

Before Luo Erye married his wife, he was also the son-in-law of Ma Zhangtai, and he read all over the group with a pair of sharp eyes, but it was the first time he saw a face like Lu Ying, and he followed Lu Ying into the house

, I thought to myself, this young master of the Lu family will be the best in the world in the future.

He unconsciously thought of his junior brother, He Rong.

In the year when the second master of Luo and the third master of the Jiao family were promoted in the examination, He Rong, the younger brother of the second master of Luo and the son of the county Cheng who won the second place in the examination, went to Jiaofu to congratulate him.

Jiao Sanye only glanced at He Rong, and later when the Jiao family and the Cao family fought, the Cao family suddenly got the handle of He Xiancheng, the He family was exiled, and He Rong was replaced by Jiao Sanye with a prisoner with a similar appearance, Luo Erye thought that this would prevent He Rong from dying in exile, and did not interfere, who knew that He Rong jumped into the well a year later.

And Lu Ying's appearance is a hundred times more delicate and beautiful than He Rong, she is clearly delicate and weak, but she has a bookish atmosphere, her demeanor is graceful and comfortable in her actions, it is unspeakably expensive, it is not like everything in the world, Luo Erye thought to himself, if Jiao San is allowed to see Lu Ying by any means, I am afraid that he will not go crazy, this Lu Ying looks at a small and weak group of jade, no wonder the Lu family does not like to let him go out, I am afraid that he will be remembered with bad intentions outside.

As soon as they entered the house, rain fell from heaven and fell on the earth.

Lu Ying sat on the main seat and stopped Feng Zheng from wanting to close the window: "Open it, otherwise it's too boring." ”

Luo Qiyi turned his head in shock, seeing that the rain outside the door was getting heavier and heavier, and Second Master Luo was even more unbearable, his eyes widened, and the disrespectful thoughts in his heart that arose because of Lu Ying's appearance were instantly dispersed.
