In the teahouse on the street, Luo Junyao was sitting by the window, holding his chin and looking at Luo Jinyan, who was sitting opposite him.
Luo Jinyan put down his tea cup helplessly, "What are you looking at?"
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "Brother, aren't you busy these days? I just sent Sister Su home, and you showed up?"
Luo Jinyan said: "You are very busy, otherwise I wouldn't have listened to others even if you helped the government capture wanted criminals."
However, Luo Junyao was not fooled by him and said with a smile: "So, eldest brother came here specifically to care about me?"
Luo Jinyan glanced at her coldly, but Luo Junyao smiled even brighter, "Brother, just tell me if you're worried. But Sister Su's problem has almost been solved, and you don't have the chance to be a hero and save the beauty. Isn't it a pity?"
Hearing this, Luo Jinyan's expression softened a little, "Is it solved?"
"Yeah." Luo Junyao nodded repeatedly. Luo Jinyan's eyes fell on the wooden box she placed at hand. Luo Junyao quickly held the wooden box in his arms, "I can't show you this. This is Sister Su's secret." Sister Su.
If you trust her so much, of course she can't betray her trust.
"She quite trusts you." Luo Jinyan said calmly.
Luo Junyao had a look of pride on his face, "Of course, I am such a trustworthy person." Unlike you, you are still a passerby.
Luo Jinyan sighed and said, "Well, since the matter is settled, I won't ask you any more questions. I told you before that I would take Jinxing out, why did you abandon him again?"
Luo Junyao was helpless, "Brother, the second brother also has a serious job, he is not my bodyguard, okay? He has some business in the army and will come back in the afternoon to take me to see Mr. Cai's progress. I am very powerful, and Ling
Lan and Yao'er are also very powerful, nothing will happen to them."
Luo Jinyan looked at her without saying anything. Of course he knew she was very powerful, but...
Reaching across the table and rubbing her head, Luo Jinyan said softly: "Have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Luo Junyao shook his head repeatedly, "No."
Luo Jinyan said: "If you encounter something, if you can't fight it, avoid it if you can, and don't confront others head-on." Luo Junyao was stunned, and then he understood Luo Jinyan's worry.
In fact, that little problem is nothing to her. After all, it doesn't happen every three days. The trigger threshold is still quite high. But after all, the eldest brother cares about himself. Luo Junyao still nodded obediently and said: "I know, eldest brother
Don’t worry.”
Luo Jinyan said: "I will be outside the city these days. If you need anything, send someone a letter to me, or you can tell my father directly."
"I know." Luo Jun said.
On the other side of the Su family, Su Rui was invited to her grandfather's study before she even had time to step into her yard. Because of what she had done earlier, Su Rui felt somewhat guilty.
Pushing open the door to the study room and walking in, he saw Mrs. Su sitting in a lounge chair in front of the window with her eyes closed and concentrating. Mrs. Su was old and not in good health. Although in front of outsiders, she still maintained the character of a scholar.
I always sit upright, but privately at home I still prefer to rest on something.
"grandfather."
Old Mrs. Su opened her eyes, looked sideways at Su Rui and waved to her: "A Rui, come here."
Su Rui walked to her grandfather and squatted down, saying softly: "Grandpa called Ari over. Do you have any instructions?"
Old Mrs. Su looked at her granddaughter for a while and then asked: "Has your trouble been solved?"
Su Rui was shocked, and the expression on her face couldn't help but change, "Grandpa, I..."
Mrs. Su sighed softly and said, "You have always been a smart kid, but it's a pity..."
Looking at Mrs. Su's understanding expression, how could Su Rui not understand?
"Grandpa, do you know everything?" Su Rui lowered her head and said with some shame. Mrs. Su sighed softly, stretched out her hand to touch her hair and said: "There are so many children in the Su family, but you are the most like me."
time."
Su Rui raised her head in astonishment. She had heard that there was no blame in her grandfather's words. Old Taifu Su quickly put down his hand and said with a smile: "Your father and several brothers are still good at studying, but they are all
Not as good as you. I never thought that our Su family would almost have a female champion."
Su Rui's pretty face couldn't help but blush, she lowered her head and said, "Grandpa, please don't laugh at me, I'm just..."
Old Taifu Su smiled and said: "When my grandfather was thirteen or fourteen years old, he had not yet passed the examination." Su Rui was startled, but quickly calmed down, "I almost caused trouble for the Su family." Even if he passed the examination, he said with a smile.
What's the use? Will she continue to marry and raise children in the future? If it's not Xiao Hong, it could be someone else.
Old Mrs. Su sighed: "You are still a child after all, and you are always in a hurry over the smallest things."
Su Rui looked at her grandfather in confusion. Mrs. Su didn't mean to reprimand her, so she quickly said: "But the matter was handled fairly well. This matter may be big if it is big, but it is not big if it is not big.
You neither usurped anyone else's quota, nor let anyone take the exam on your behalf, nor did you engage in fraud, so there is nothing to worry about."
"But, I..." Su Rui whispered.
Old Taifu Su said: "At most, it's just a fake identity. If this matter really happens, my grandfather can still solve it for you."
Su Rui was a little confused, "I..."
Old Taifu Su asked: "Dasheng has never expressly stipulated that women were not allowed to take the imperial examination, but in the previous dynasty, there were women who participated in the imperial examination." The system of Dasheng was generally inherited from Dongling. Although there were no female officials in Dasheng, there were still some regulations in the law.
But there is no explicit rule that women are not allowed to take the exam. Of course, Su Rui is still at fault for forging her identity, but this matter cannot be troubled by the Su family.
"Grandpa, don't you blame me? If this matter spreads, the reputation of other sisters..." Su Rui asked in a low voice.
Old Mrs. Su sighed and said, "We have a talented girl in the Su family. It's not too late for my grandfather to be happy. He just feels wronged by you."
Su Rui shook her head repeatedly, "My granddaughter is not wronged."
"You must have thought about the cost of what you do before you do it." Mrs. Su said slowly: "As for other sisters, if others have opinions about other girls because of you, don't let them go.
"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Rui nodded. She was only twelve years old when she secretly took the college exam for the first time. She might not have thought of this, but when she got older, she would naturally understand it and have always done it.
I was mentally prepared, but I was just worried about hurting others.
Old Mrs. Su said in a deep voice: "That boy from the Xiao family doesn't know how to praise. Since you have settled the matter, let your father terminate the engagement after the eldest son of the Xiao family comes to Beijing. Our girls from the Su family don't have to suffer this injustice."
Su Rui nodded and said, "I have already told my father. Did my father mention it to my grandfather?"
Old Mrs. Su glanced at her granddaughter with a smile, and Su Rui understood with just one glance that her actions these days had probably never escaped his grandfather's eyes.
The reason why my father agreed to break off the engagement with the Xiao family so easily was not only because he was angry at what Xiao Hong had done, but also because of his grandfather's intentions, right?
"Thank you, grandpa." Su Rui leaned on the armrest and said softly.
Old Mrs. Su waved her hand and said: "Go, don't worry all day about such a trivial matter. The Luo family...the regent princess looks pretty good. Since you have fun with her, you might as well move around more often."
Su Rui nodded and smiled: "I know, thank you grandpa."
Watching his granddaughter go out, Mrs. Su slowly closed her eyes again, still looking leisurely and contented.
He is really old, and he can no longer be as energetic as he was when he was young, and he can no longer scheming and strategizing in the court. In addition to worrying about the future of the Su family, his little great-grandson, who has been a companion in the palace at a young age, is also worried about this prince.
What a smart granddaughter.
"Old Master." The steward outside gently knocked on the study door.
Mrs. Su didn't even move her eyelids and said calmly: "Come in."
The steward opened the door, walked to him holding a box, and whispered: "Old Master, the Luo family has sent something over, saying that I would like the old man to see it in person."
Mrs. Su frowned and then opened her eyes, "Luo family? Who is from the Luo family?"
The steward said: "The eldest son of the Luo family."
Mrs. Su slowly sat up, took the box and opened it. Inside was a not too thick file and a personal letter from Luo Jinyan.
Mr. Su just glanced at the file, then picked up the letter and read it carefully. His eyes were already a little hard to use, and he read the not-so-long letter for a while before putting it down.
The steward stood aside respectfully and waited for his instructions. In the past two years, the old man always took longer to make decisions than in the past. Naturally, these close confidants who were waiting closely felt it the most.
After a while, I heard Old Master Su say: "Take this to the master. If he asks, just say I gave it to you."
The steward responded respectfully, "Yes, old master."
Old Mrs. Su thought for a while and continued: "Send the contents of the box behind my bookshelf to the eldest son of the Luo family so that no one can see them."
"Yes." After confirming that the old man had no other instructions, the steward respectfully left with the things in his hands.
The study quickly became quiet again. Mrs. Su snorted softly, lay back slowly, and fell asleep in a short while.
While the Su family was still peaceful, Luo Junyao and Luo Jinyan encountered a little trouble.
Naturally, this was not because she was looking for trouble, but because things came to her on their own initiative.
After she finished chatting with Luo Jinyan, she went out, but when she was about to go downstairs, she was blocked by a group of unsightly people.
Although this teahouse is not one of the best, it is located closest to the inner city and used to be very quiet and peaceful. But these days, there are many obvious outsiders everywhere in the city, and some of these people know what is...
There are also many people who are low-key but showy and unbridled. Even those playboys who used to love to play around are not willing to provoke them easily.
When the two of them left the wing, they were blocked by four people from the world. The four people were dressed in different clothes and had different looks. Some of them were obviously of foreign origin.
The first person was a short and thin young man. Luo Junyao was not tall among women of the same age, but this young man was only about an inch taller than her. He was not only short but also very thin, even thinner than Luo Junyao. He looked like a
A small skeleton covered with skin. The person had a sallow complexion, a pair of gray-blue eyes, and an earring set with a black gemstone on the left ear of his bare head.
No matter how you look at this kind of dress, you are obviously not from the Central Plains.
"Girl, please stay." The young man stopped in front of Luo Junyao, and glanced at Luo Jinyan who was following her with a sinister look in his gray-blue eyes.
Luo Junyao asked: "What's the matter?"
The young man smiled and said: "I have a fate with the girl, so I want to give this to her." He handed something to Luo Junyao. Luo Junyao was a little surprised. It was a bracelet.
A very gorgeous bracelet. The bracelet is in the shape of a snake. The golden bracelet is made of unknown materials and is inlaid with lifelike scales piece by piece. There are also eyes inlaid with black gems, which looks weird and gorgeous.
These four strangely dressed guests had long since attracted the attention of the other guests upstairs. Seeing them suddenly stopping them, the two of them naturally looked over. Then the man suddenly took out such an object, which was so close.
People couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The bracelet looks almost like a real snake.
Luo Junyao frowned slightly, and just as he was about to refuse, he heard Luo Jinyan say from behind: "She can't accept your things."
The young man raised his head and glanced at Luo Jinyan, and said in a cold voice, "My dear young master in the capital, I advise you not to meddle in your own business." Apparently, he regarded Luo Jinyan as an ordinary rich young man in the Shangyong Imperial City.
The look on Luo Jinyan's face was a little cold. He pulled Luo Junyao to his side and said, "You should keep the snake bracelet in Southern Xinjiang for yourself."
"What if I have to give it away?" As if he didn't expect Luo Jinyan to know this thing, the young man looked at Luo Jinyan with an increasingly gloomy look.
Luo Jinyan refused to give in, "You can try."
What is a snake bracelet? Luo Junyao was a little curious.
"Who is this girl to you?" the young man suddenly asked.
Luo Jinyan said: "It has nothing to do with you."
"It seems that she is not your wife anymore." The young man suddenly laughed, but his smile also looked a little scary, "In that case, you can leave now and I will spare your life."
Luo Junyao was so shocked that he couldn't help but turn around to look at Luo Jinyan and then at the short and thin young man and the three people behind him.
The three people were obviously watching a show. They didn't interfere or persuade the young man. They just stood aside and watched with interest.
"What is a snake bracelet?" Luo Junyao asked.
Luo Jinyan said: "I'll explain to you later, but you can't touch it anyway."
"Oh, okay." Luo Jun shook his head and said to the young man: "He is my brother, but I am indeed married. I'm sorry that I can't accept your gift."
Hearing this, the young man's face instantly turned gloomy and stern. Compared with him, the Musa next to Bai Jingrong was almost cheerful and sunny.
When Luo Junyao met those gray-blue eyes, he even felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.
A sense of danger arose spontaneously, and Luo Junyao instantly became vigilant.
"Married?" the young man said sadly, "It doesn't matter, I don't care." After saying that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Junyao. Luo Jinyan snorted coldly, raised his leg and kicked the acupuncture point on his arm. Then
A strange smile appeared on the young man's face, and the hand that was grabbing Luo Junyao suddenly changed direction and grabbed Luo Jinyan's leg.
Only then did Luo Junyao see that the young man's nails were longer than those of many noble ladies in the imperial city. Not only were they long, but they also looked as hard as iron with a sharp cold light. His fingertips were an unknown black color, and the nails were
There were even weird patterns, and Luo Junyao felt that the patterns seemed to be moving.
Without any time to think, Youyue Thorn quickly unsheathed it and blocked it between the young man's fingers and Luo Jinyan's leg. The nails hit the Youyue Bayonet blade, making a crisp sound like a metal collision, without any damage.
The young man let out a sigh and took two steps back before his eyes fell on Luo Junyao and the knife in her hand. "I didn't expect that she is a little beauty who knows martial arts. That would be even better."
The young man seemed to be getting more and more excited, his gray-blue eyes staring at Luo Junyao with a determination to win.
