Chapter 82 The second brother of the Luo family returned to Beijing (2)
Luo Yuanjia glared.
"That bastard Sun Ting slandered your reputation in the teahouse. How could I just ignore it?"
"I, the daughter of the Luo family, are like Qirong who indulge in slander at will."
Luo Yuanjia stretched out his arms and rolled up his sleeves.
"Now I only hate that I am not a military commander. I should have led troops on the battlefield like my elder brother. Now that I have achieved fame, I can definitely kill him with one punch today."
Snapped!
Mrs. Guo's face turned horizontally and she slapped Luo Yuanjia on the back.
"You bastard, what are you talking about?"
"Mother, why did you hit me?"
Luo Yuanjia gritted his teeth and rubbed his back.
"Mother doesn't still think that Sun Ting is her nephew, right? We, the Duke's Mansion, should stay as far away from such dirty people as possible in the future."
The Duke and his wife will be mad at him.
"You brat, our Luo family has severed ties with their Sun family a long time ago, so what does Sun Ting's life and death have to do with me?"
"But you, it will be spring next year. If there is a life-threatening lawsuit in your hand, you will not even be qualified to go to the Tribute Academy to take the scientific examination. How dare you beat someone to death? How can you be so bold?"
When Luo Yuanjia heard this, he rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
"But Sun Ting slanders my little sister like that. As an elder brother, how can I stand by and watch."
The Duke's wife rolled her eyes at him.
"If you have a straight temper like your father, you won't find someone to corner him in an alley, put a sack on him, and beat him up."
Luo Yuanjia frowned and slowly gave a thumbs up.
"My mother was thoughtful."
On the side, the corner of Luo Jiuli's mouth twitched. She originally felt sorry for her second brother, but now when her mother said this, she suddenly felt like laughing.
It turns out that her dignified and virtuous mother also has such an adventurous side.
"Second brother, Sun Ting will have his own consequences. Second brother doesn't have to be involved with such a dirty person just to protect my little sister."
"What's more, the mother's decision not to allow the second brother to have a head-on conflict with Sun Ting was not just for Chun Wei's sake."
"My mother only has two sons, you and my eldest brother. My eldest brother chose to fight in the battlefield with my father, and we have not seen each other for almost a year and a half. My mother burns incense and prays to Buddha every day, just hoping that my father and eldest brother can return safely."
"If the second brother practices martial arts and goes to the battlefield like my father and eldest brother, and if something happens, what do you want my mother to do? Who can support me and my eldest sister? There must always be a male to inherit the family of the Duke of Yiguo.
of."
She had known for a long time why Duke Yiguo, who was so powerful in the imperial court with his martial arts, would let his two sons, one to practice martial arts, one to study literature, one to fight on the battlefield, and the other to stay in the capital and take the imperial examination to become an official.
Just because on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight, and lives are pinned to the belt of the pants. No one knows whether there will be corpses wrapped in horse leather tomorrow. There are only a few men in the Luo family, so it is necessary to leave a safe one to stand up in the Luo family.
And Luo Yuanjia, her second brother, was the only man in the Yiguo Palace who had never been on the battlefield. He was also the only man from the Luo family who had a clear life plan and wanted to enter the official career through the imperial examination.
The Duke's wife happily stepped forward and held her daughter's hand.
"Jiu'er, it's hard for you to understand your mother's painstaking efforts."
Luo Jiuli held her mother's hand.
"Mother, why should one family speak two different languages?"
On the side, Luo Yuanjia listened to his little sister's words, his long black eyelashes drooped gently, forming a light shadow under his eyes, which well covered the complex emotions under his eyes.
"Don't be angry, mother. Your son should be steady and cautious from now on."
The Duke's wife nodded and sighed.
"That's very good. You are two years older than your sister. It's time to change your temper. Don't cause trouble again before spring next year."
Luo Yuanjia touched his nose.
"Yes, my son has remembered it."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Luo Jiuli.
"I found that my little sister seemed to be more transparent, and what she said was as reasonable and well-founded as the adults."
Luo Jiuli smiled awkwardly.
"People always learn to grow up."
This sentence, at this moment, contains too much profound meaning.
But to the ears of the mother and son, it contained too much helplessness.
Luo Yuanjia's eyes darkened. It had been more than four months since he went to Nanlu Academy in early summer. He only learned about what happened in the capital one after another on his way back to the capital.
When he learned that his little sister was almost killed by Prince Zhao, he wished he could kill Prince Zhao himself. He also learned that his little sister had set fire to Prince Zhao's palace, and that he had beaten the emperor to make a fuss and leave the queen. He felt that the little sister who was so shy and docile before was
I finally know how to fight back and protect myself.
It's just that the cost of growing up is too high and it's too sad.
On the side, the Duke's wife took her son with one hand and her daughter with the other.
"Your second brother finally came back from the academy to celebrate the festival. You two brothers and sisters want to talk about some happy things. It's too late today. Let your sister hold the child tomorrow and come back to stay for two days."
"Let's go to dinner with mother. The dishes cooked in the kitchen tonight are all your favorite dishes."
The brother and sister looked at each other and said in unison.
"yes."
Then he helped his mother from left to right and left the flower hall.
Dusk is getting darker.
Dark night is gradually coming.
After dinner, the brother and sister walked with their mother, chatting and eating, showing a loving mother and a filial son.
Until the housekeeper came to report that it was the Du family's young master who came to see the second young master who was out.
The Duke's wife turned to look at her son.
"You've just returned to Beijing and you're going to meet friends?"
Luo Yuanjia nodded.
"The Du family master and his son are both studying at Nanlu Academy, and they will also attend the Spring Festival next year."
As he said that, he quickly winked at Luo Jiuli who was standing aside.
Luo Jiuli didn't know what kind of medicine her second brother was selling in Gourd.
"Mom, since she is my second brother's academic friend, she must have something important to do."
The Duke's wife looked at her daughter, then at her son.
"In that case, go ahead."
"Yes, mother."
Luo Yuanjia turned around and followed the housekeeper out of the yard.
Nanny Xu on the side stepped forward.
"Madam, it's time to worship the Buddha."
The Duke's wife nodded and looked at Luo Jiuli.
Luo Jiuli didn't wait for his mother to speak and said hurriedly:
"My daughter has stayed up late these past two days and is a little tired. She wants to go back and rest early. She will be with her mother tomorrow."
The Duke's wife clapped her hand.
"Okay, then you can go back."
"Yes, congratulations to my mother."
Luo Jiuli saluted.
The Duke's wife went to the Buddhist hall in the backyard with the support of Grandma Xu.
"Chun Rong."
Luo Jiuli turned around and called out as he walked.
"Miss."
Chun Rong followed behind her.
"Go, send someone to find out where Sun Ting is now?"
"By the way, let Butler Zhang come to Fuquyuan to meet me."
"Yes, miss."
Chun Rong responded, turned around and quickly walked out of the yard.
Not long after, Butler Zhang came to Fuquyuan in a hurry.
"Second Miss."
At this time, Luo Jiuli had changed into clean clothes and was sitting in the hall drinking scented tea.
