It was already past dinner time when Luo Jinxing and Luo Junyao arrived home. Luo Jinxing had a pleasant exchange with the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army in the afternoon, and Luo Junyao followed Xie Yan around, feeling quite happy.
So the two of them had a common goal and happily forgot about the fact that they had to take care of Mrs. Luo at home tonight.
As soon as they stepped into the lobby, they saw Luo Yun and Su Si sitting at the main seats waiting for them, with a smiling Luo Jinyan sitting next to them.
Seeing them come in, the smile on Luo Jinyan's face deepened a little, and he nodded lightly towards the two of them.
However, Luo Jinxing and Luo Junyao both felt their scalps go cold and they were about to finish!
"Father, mother."
"Dad, mother, we are back."
The two of them came forward together to salute and say hello.
Luo Yun nodded lovingly to his daughter, "Just come back. Are you hungry? Have you had dinner?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Eat. I ate with my second brother at the Zhenguo Army camp."
Luo Yundao said: "Just eat. The food in the military camp is very rough. If you are not full, you can go back and eat some later. Go sit with your elder brother."
"Oh." Luo Junyao glanced at his second brother, walked over to Luo Jinyan and sat down.
The next moment, the loving smile on Luo Yun's face turned into a stepfather look, "You still know how to come back!"
"Dad..." Luo Jinxing was not frightened. He chose to stay in the Zhenguo Army and brought his sister back only after dark. Luo Jinxing already knew that he would inevitably get scolded.
But, can dad save some face for him?
"Dad..." Luo Junyao then realized that his father actually treated his children with double standards. He quickly stood up and wanted to speak for his second brother.
Next to her, Luo Jinyan held her down and said with a smile: "Shake and sit tight, father teaches his son, you just watch."
Luo Junyao whispered: "I persuaded my second brother to go out to the city for fun, and I agreed to come back late."
Luo Jinyan said warmly: "He is the elder brother."
Luo Junyao could only look at his second brother with sympathy. No matter what the reason was, he just needed to say that he was the elder brother and all the responsibilities had to be borne by him.
Luo Jinxing was not dissatisfied with this. He should have been punished for bringing his sister back so late.
"My child knows that he was wrong, please punish him from his father and mother." Luo Jinxing accepted the punishment simply and without any intention of arguing on his own behalf.
Luo Yun snorted lightly and said, "I heard that you spent the whole afternoon sparring with people in the Zhenguo Army? You like fighting with people so much that starting tomorrow, all the Xuanjia Army will train with you every day for half a month."
"Ah?" Luo Jinxing was surprised, and Luo Yun's face darkened, "Or thirty army sticks? Choose for yourself!"
"No!" Luo Jinxing said quickly, "My child will go tomorrow!"
Isn't it just a fight? It's not a fight with anyone, it just might make you a little tired and a little sore.
Seeing that Luo Yun was almost done with his training, Mrs. Su said, "Okay, you've already been punished. Let's get on with it."
This is actually a symbolic punishment. Luo Jinxing often fights and spars with others in the army. Although Luo Yun doesn't have a good look towards his son, he still loves his son.
"Thank you, mother."
Luo Jinxing then stood up, sat down opposite Luo Junyao, and winked at her in a good mood, indicating that he was fine.
Mrs. Su looked at the two little ones, sighed softly and said, "You guys, go and accompany the old lady tomorrow morning." On the first day the old lady came back, there were two missing from the three grandchildren at the family banquet.
It's strange that the old lady has a pretty face.
Luo Jinxing was a little embarrassed, "Mother, we really didn't do it on purpose, we just...forgot it for a moment."
Originally he remembered it, but with the atmosphere in the Zhenguo Army camp, how could he remember these little things when he was in a mood?
Su said: "Don't worry, the old lady won't argue with you two juniors. Just apologize. The general has already told the old lady that he asked you to go out of the city to do things."
It's just that Luo Jinxing might still be doing something, but what can Luo Junyao do as a little girl?
No matter how confused the old lady was, she knew that Luo Yun was trying to smooth things over for her children, but since Luo Yun had said so, it was naturally hard for her to say anything more.
You can't tell outsiders that her grandchildren are unfilial and deliberately absent from her wedding banquet, right?
The old lady still wants to save face.
"My child knows that he has a father and mother to work with," Luo Jinxing said.
Seeing his son's appearance, Luo Yun sighed helplessly in his heart, waved his hand and said: "That's it, it's getting late. Madam and Yaoyao should go back and rest first. Be careful with your words and deeds and follow me to the study."
He also knew that although the second son did not miss tonight's family dinner on purpose, he did have a problem with the old lady and did not take it to heart.
Not only the second son, but also the eldest son is probably the same, but unlike the second son, he is not as expressive in his emotions and anger, and others cannot see it.
Luo Yun didn't want to say anything more about this. Both of his sons were already adults. They had no feelings for the old lady, and many of her actions since childhood made them feel uncomfortable.
As long as they fulfilled their duties as grandchildren, Luo Yun would not force his two children to be obedient to the old lady.
Not to mention these two, doesn't even his own son sometimes criticize what the old lady says and does?
"Okay, daddy, the eldest and second brothers should also go to bed early."
After Luo Junyao and Su Shi went back to rest, the Luo family and his son got up and went to Luo Yun's study.
On the way, the Luo Jinyan brothers followed Luo Yun. Luo Jinyan asked, "Why do you remember going to the Zhenguo Army Camp?"
Luo Jinxing made no secret and said: "I happened to meet Wei Changting in Nanshi. He suggested that we go together. I also had a fight with He Ruoqiuti from Gaoyu. That guy had bad intentions. I will pay him back if I get the chance.
I have to deal with him again."
"And Yao Yao... Brother, our Yao Yao is quite powerful. He used a knife to cripple that girl He Ruo Ya Shu's hand."
Luo Jinyan looked at him sideways and said, "I know, you are quite capable of letting Yaoyao stand up for you?"
Luo Jinxing was speechless for a moment, scratched his head and said: "What... I was just careless. It's not like I couldn't beat that girl. Besides, if it hadn't been for what happened today, I wouldn't have known that we were so shaken." Yesterday
Although I also played at night, it was still incomparable to what I did this afternoon.
The little girl strikes quickly and neatly. If this is a younger brother, he will be a good young man who can go to the battlefield.
Well, no, no.
Not as good as my younger sister. How cute is my delicate and soft sister.
"Brother, aren't you and your father surprised at all?" Luo Jinxing said unwillingly after feeling that his eldest brother's reaction was too ordinary.
Luo Jinyan glanced at him indifferently, "Do I have to be like you to be considered surprised?" He already knew the more surprising things in advance. It seems that although the memory of that night is not clear, he can't remember it clearly.
It's not completely without impact.
Luo Jinyan frowned and asked, "Did the regent say anything?"
Luo Jinxing was puzzled, "What did you say? The prince is naturally on our side, so it's no wonder that this happened."
Luo Jinyan felt troubled by his brother's big heart, "Tell me carefully."
"oh."
On the way to the study, Luo Jinxing explained everything that happened in the Zhenguo Army camp to his elder brother. He had long been accustomed to this situation. He left the mental matters to his elder brother and the physical matters to him.
.
Since the eldest brother wants to hear it, he thinks it is necessary to know the details, so he will tell you.
It wasn't until he entered the study that Luo Jinyan looked at his younger brother and said solemnly: "In the future, don't bring the shackle to the Prince Regent."
"Ah? Why." Luo Jinxing was puzzled.
Luo Jinyan said coldly: "Remember, just do it."
"Oh." Luo Jinxing nodded dully, he was very smart.
Luo Yun actually didn't quite understand what the eldest son meant, but he felt that the eldest son was right.
Xie Yan's identity is too troublesome, and he doesn't want his daughter to have too many interactions with him.
It's just because of Yao Yao's illness that I will have to ask Doctor Xue for help later...
When he woke up early the next morning, Luo Junyao obediently went to greet Mrs. Luo and apologize.
As soon as they walked outside Mrs. Luo's Rongle Hall courtyard with Lan Yin and Lan Zhen, they saw a familiar figure wandering cautiously.
"Girl, it's the delphinium next to the eldest girl." Lan Yin said.
Lan Zhen was also puzzled, "What is she doing here?"
Delphinium seemed to be relieved when she saw them approaching, and she quickly stepped forward and curtsied, "Second Miss."
"What are you doing here if you don't follow eldest sister?" Luo Junyao asked.
Delphinium whispered: "This slave has been ordered by the eldest lady to come here to wait for her."
"What's wrong, big sister?" Luo Junyao asked.
Delphinium said: "The second young master had a quarrel with the old lady in Ronngle Hall. The general has not returned from the court yet. The madam and the eldest lady asked you not to go in yet."
Luo Junyao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, but he was also a little moved at the same time. He smiled and said: "I've let the eldest sister worry about it. Madam and eldest sister are also in there? Where is the eldest brother?"
Delphinium said: "The eldest young master is here too. Why don't the two girls go back first and come back later when the old lady's anger has subsided?"
Luo Junyao said: "No need. If you go back after walking all the way here, if the news reaches my grandmother's ears, you will make her angry. Really, the eldest brother and the second brother, why are you so active and don't ask me to come with you to pay my respects to my grandmother?"
After saying that, she bypassed Delphinium and walked toward the gate of Rong Le Hall. Delphinium didn't dare to stop her and stamped her feet in a hurry, "Oh...Second Miss, this..."
Lan Yin smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, the old lady is also the grandmother of the second girl and the second young master. How can she really influence the young master and the young lady?"
"..." Am I supposed to say that Madam is not only worried that the old lady will make the girl angry, but she is also worried that the girl will be angry with the old lady?
There is no way to say this.
Luo Junyao didn't care what Delphinium had to say, and he quickly stepped into Rongle Hall.
Sure enough, just after entering, before reaching the entrance of the lobby of Rongle Hall, I heard the voice of Mrs. Luo angrily scolding Luo Jinxing from inside.
Luo Junyao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. For an old man in his early seventies, the old lady's lung capacity was quite enough.
