Chapter 236

Tang Han took his leave after lunch.

Luo Tiandu was a little absent-minded.

She knew about Mr. Tang, Luo Baisu was currently under confinement and couldn't go out, even if he wanted to help, it would be limited.She did know that Luo Baisu asked Cheng Qing to go down to inquire about the news, but all she got was that the case had been handed over to Dali Temple for trial.That place is full of hard bones, soft and hard, and the Luo family can't use it even if they want to.She didn't underestimate Luo Baisu, she felt that Master Tang's release from prison probably had nothing to do with Luo Baisu.

The Tang family can overturn the case, either Mr. Tang himself is innocent, or someone in Beijing is the main protector.And looking at the whole of Shangjing, there are really too few people who dare to stand out under such circumstances that all officials are avoiding it.

She didn't know many court officials, and after much deliberation, she couldn't figure out who they were.Fortunately, she could let it go, since she couldn't figure it out, she simply didn't think about it, and left it behind.

In a blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month again.

Fang feels that the family has not been going well in the past two years, and has been suffering from bad luck. She decided to clean up the house this year to get rid of the mold. This proposal has won the support of the whole family.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, after Luo Baisu went out, Fang Shi and Luo Tian both put away the housewares, and then moved the tables, chairs, benches and so on in the house to the yard, scrubbed and washed them, and the whole family gathered together. Get busy.

The weather is cold, so there is no such thing as washing and rinsing.She changed into old clothes, took a long bamboo pole, tied a broom, and cleaned the cobwebs and dust from the beams in the corner.

When the family was busy, they heard someone knocking on the door.

The family who used to live on the left side of the Luo family had gone home to Ding You because their father had passed away, and the new one who moved in was from a similar family background as the Luo family, surnamed Xu.It was the New Year's Eve, and every family was busy buying new year's goods, cleaning up the house and so on. Xu's family had just entered Beijing, and they had never prepared everything. They often borrowed things from the Luo's family. Fang thought it was the Xu's who came to borrow things again. He didn't take it seriously, and asked Zishu to answer the door.

Zishu trotted all the way, opened the door a crack, and was stunned.

Standing outside the door was not the charming maid of the Xu family, but a pink-faced boy in silk and satin, who seemed to be unable to stand up straight, standing crookedly in front of the door.

Zishu immediately narrowed his eyes and asked vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?"

The young master didn't speak, and immediately a servant raised his chin and reprimanded: "This is the young master of Mr. Liu's family, the servant of the official department, and you still don't open the door to welcome him?"

Including Cheng Sheng, the Luo family had only five males in total. Cheng Sheng was in the barracks all year round and was basically not at home. Uncle Gu was too old to take care of things. Luo Baisu took Cheng Qing to the Yamen, Zishu is actually the only male in the family, and he feels that he has the responsibility to protect the whole family.Seeing the young servant's arrogant attitude, Zi Shu felt that the other person was not kind, so he immediately said: "My lord has gone to the government office, and there are only female relatives at home. If Mr. Liu has something to do, you might as well leave a name card. When my lord comes back, I will visit myself."

The young fellow Xu didn't expect that there would be people in Shangjing who would dare not give face to his young master, and blushed, jumping angrily outside and yelling: "Slave dog, you are blind, my young master can come to the door, that's it!" I think highly of you, so ignorant of good and evil."

Zishu was scolded thoughtlessly, but he was not angry, and replied with a good temper: "Young master calm down, it is true that there are only female relatives in the family, and it is inconvenient to meet outsiders. I hope you will forgive me."

Liu Er tightened his coat, squinted at Zishu, and said, "Little servant, if your master is not here, how can others entertain you? Why don't you say that you don't see any outsiders when you come to the door? Are you the master?" Silly?"

Zishu: "..."

As the new year approaches, the weather is very cold, and Liu Er has always been a flirtatious guy. In order not to look bloated, even at this time, he only added a thin silk cotton jacket under his coat, and then put on a big one. rejoice.It looks very beautiful, but it is not frozen.He stood in the cold wind for a while, and already felt his hands and feet were cold, and now he was blocked outside by people, so he really couldn't be called happy.

"Stop talking nonsense, don't call your eldest lady out yet."

Luo Tian heard that Zishu was arguing with someone outside, so he threw the broom and ran out, just when he heard Liu Er's last sentence, his brows were bristling with anger, he rushed over, and said angrily: "Who is here? You are talking nonsense outside, Zi Shu, why are you still standing there, you still haven't kicked people out."

Zishu came back to his senses and was about to close the door, but was held back by Liu Eryi.

Luo Tian was furious: "What are you doing?! Do you still dare to rob private houses?"

"Hahahaha..." Unexpectedly, when Liu Er saw her, he immediately couldn't help laughing wildly, pointed at her with one hand, and laughed so hard that he couldn't even speak.

Luo Tian felt baffled, and felt that no matter when he saw this Liu Er, he would go crazy.

Zishu glanced in the direction of Liu Er's finger, his face twitched, he wanted to laugh very much, and he had to endure it very hard.

Luo Tian was furious: "What are you doing?!"

Zishu: "Little lady, your face..."

Luo Tiandu wiped it with his sleeve, and there was a black stain on the sleeve, and he was speechless for a while.She had been cleaning the stove room just now, and it was full of black chimney ash, most likely it was rubbed on her face when she was cleaning just now.

Liu Er had laughed enough, he leaned against the door, and kindly reminded: "Foul girl, go and wash your face quickly. Oh, no, I want to laugh when I see your cat face. Hahahaha!"

Luo Tian's head was full of black lines, and he decisively ordered Zi Shu: "Close the door."

Zishu followed her instructions very faithfully, and was about to close the door when Liu Er put his hand into the crack of the door and looked at them with a rascal expression.

Luo Tiandu glared at him resentfully, he had never seen such a rascal.It was impossible for her to ignore everything and cut off Liu Er's hand, so she could only say with a disgusted expression, "Open the door and let them in."

After finishing speaking, regardless of what Liu Er thought, he hurried back to wash his face.

Liu Er didn't need anyone to support him, he pushed the door and stepped into the yard with his feet.As soon as he came in, the group of people behind him moved and picked, and followed him in.The boy who was arguing with Zishu before raised his chin, glanced at Zishu out of the corner of his eye, and let out a heavy "hum" in his nose.

Zishu is too big to read.

Liu Er brought a total of six people and brought three suitcases in. The last one was a middle-aged lady in red and green with a big red flower on her head, a standard three aunts and six wives.

After washing his face, Luo Tian went out with Fang Shi, and was also taken aback when he saw the things in the yard, and even more so when he saw the woman.

"I've met Mrs. Luo." Liu Er saw Fang's, but solemnly bowed to his son and nephew.

His servant's eyes stared straight.Usually this master is not in good shape in front of Mrs. Liu, why is he so polite in front of this village woman today.

Liu Er saw that his servant was so unintelligent and embarrassed himself, so he "coughed" heavily to remind him.

Fang was a little dazed, she only met Liu Er once, and that was a few years ago, so she had long forgotten.

Luo Tiandu had no choice but to remind: "Mother, this is the second son of Liu Shilang's family."

"Oh." Fang didn't know who this servant Liu was, so she said, "Young Master Liu, please sit in the room."

At this moment, Liu Er was already frozen to the point that his face was stiff, and he didn't think the Luo's house was shabby, so he entered the room and sat down.Alas, it froze him to death.

Mrs. Fang was busy serving hot tea, and seeing Liu Er shivering from the cold, she couldn't help but said: "It's cold outside, alas, it's such a bad weather, you can just send someone to tell me what's the matter, why bother to tell me in person?" What should I do if I get cold after running this trip?" Seeing that Liu Er and Luo Tian both knew each other, Fang thought they were familiar, so she lost so much restraint when talking.

Liu Er sneered: "It's not cold, it's not cold, it's quite warm." After speaking, he felt something trickle down his nostrils.

Luo Tian couldn't bear to look directly at him, this Liu Er was just a well, he was a second anyway.

Fang couldn't help laughing either, Liu Er's servant hurriedly took out a handkerchief, quietly handed it to Liu Er, and pointed under his nose.Liu Er took it and wiped off the snot.

After a while, Zishu came over with a burning charcoal basin, and the boy took it with a look of disgust, and put it at Liu Er's feet.

Feeling ashamed, Liu Er glanced left and right, and found that half-old mistress, and asked strangely: "Naughty girl, who is she? Your relative?"

Luo Tiandu also looked surprised: "Isn't she your family member? She came in with you."

"Nonsense, she is not the person brought by the master!"

Both of them turned their gazes to the woman at the same time, but the woman was calm and said with a smile: "Mrs. Luo, congratulations."

Fang was at a loss: "Where does joy come from?"

At this time, Fang stood up from the chair, waved the handkerchief in her hand, then looked Luo Tiandu up and down several times, and smiled without saying a word.

Fang realized it, and his heart was full of joy.Someone finally came to propose marriage to Luo Tiandu, and the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with joy: "Xiang Lan, why don't you take this old mother in for a cup of tea."

Xiang Lan responded and led the woman down.

Without outsiders, Liu Er roasted the fire for a long time. At this time, he has warmed up and finally regained his energy. He ordered the servants to open three boxes one by one. Two boxes were filled with silk and satin, and the other box was There are some popular gadgets nowadays, and there is also a pair of cards designed and produced by Luo Tiandu a few years ago.Adding up the three boxes, it is estimated that it is worth a thousand gold.

Luo Tian felt his head throbbing when he saw it.

Sure enough, after Liu Erxian finished showing off, Fang said: "I have heard that the eldest lady is beautiful, and my master admires it very much. Bring these things to the eldest lady as a meeting gift."

Fang's complexion changed, and Luo Tian was even more furious.She was about to say something, but Mrs. Fang spoke first, with a calm tone: "Mr. Liu, we are not relatives, these things are too expensive, and I dare not accept them. How can I ask Mr. Liu to bring them here? How about carrying it back?"
