Luo Tan has not been in a good mood recently.
Everyone in the Luo family has moved to Long Ye, and they are now settled here. After Shen Miao became the queen, she was not as leisurely as before. He also had to take care of the first and fifteenth day of the first year, and he had to manage the harem properly, although this was also very confusing in Luo Tan's eyes. After all, there is only Shen Miao in this Great Liang’s harem, what is there to govern
But Shen Miao was indeed busy and Luo Tan felt a little bored.
But she has always been a person who can't rest, so she simply goes out to play in the mountains and water all day and find fun for herself.
This time, the Luo family's second-bedroom couple was a little dissatisfied.
Mrs Ma said all day long, "You are now the eldest, and Ren Jiaojiao's son is over a year old. You can't be controlled by others as an old girl, but you are always so reckless, how can you get it?"
Luo Tan was very annoyed, she just felt that she was a good person, eating, drinking, playing, and joking, becoming a parent would be a lot of trouble. If the husband is a good one and doesn't put messy women in the backyard, then he wants to spread the branches earlier. After the baby is born, you have to raise it yourself. How short a woman's youth is, how can it be wasted on these trivial things. It would be more meaningful to take advantage of the good years to go out for a walk and visit famous mountains and rivers.
In fact, the Luo family is not an old-fashioned family, nor does it have to worry about marrying off their daughter at a young age. It's just that parents always hope that their children will have a good home as soon as possible, but Luo Tan has always been carefree, living so much, as if she has never liked anyone. If you say you like it, you are just casually watching this handsome actor on the street, regardless of men and women. Such liking is no different from liking flowers and plants. It has to wait until Luo Tan himself becomes enlightened on the matter of love, not knowing what year and month it will take.
Ma asked, "Tan'er, tell your mother honestly, you really don't have a man you like?"
Luo Tan became impatient when she was asked, and said, "Mother, where did I get the man I fell in love with?"
"Now even Qian'er has a girl he likes, and Qian'er is younger than you." When Ma Shi was frustrated, he took Luo Qian as an example: "There are so many good men in this world, why don't you look at one that you like? What about?"
Luo Tan pouted, "There are so many, I haven't seen any of them."
"It can't go on like this," Ma Shi slapped the table: "I can't let you continue to make trouble like this. Now that Jiaojiao is the queen, there are always a few young talents in this world. I have to ask her to help me find them. You give me a good look. Look."
Luo Tan looked at her in disbelief: "Mother, aren't you? It's not like I can't marry."
"It's not that you can't get married, you simply don't understand." Ma said, "You have to go, and I won't let you go out if you don't see me?" After saying that, she got up and went out without waiting for Luo Tan to answer. .
…
Ma asked Luo Xueyan to accompany her to the palace and talked to Shen Miao about it.
Although Shen Miao was now a queen, she did not change her temperament and was always gentle in front of her relatives. The Luo family and the Shen family still get along with her as before, and nothing has changed.
Ma Shi still had a headache when he mentioned Luo Tan, so he asked Shen Miao, "Jiaojiao, you are in contact with a lot of noble people on weekdays, can you help Tan'er to see a few? It doesn't matter what the family background is, the most important thing is character. To be of good conduct, Tan'er is simple, and doesn't understand the twists and turns of the house. It is best that the family is clean and simple, and there should be no messy relatives. Well, it is best to look handsome. ." Ma was a little embarrassed: "Tan'er likes good-looking things. If she was born more beautiful, she would be happy too."
Shen Miao was surprised and glanced at Luo Xueyan, Luo Xueyan also said, "Yes Jiaojiao, you should show Tan'er."
“It’s naturally no problem to see each other, but…” Shen Miao asked hesitantly, “Cousin really doesn’t have someone she likes?”
"It's impossible for her to take the initiative to awaken her temperament." Ma Shi waved his hand, as if he didn't want to mention it again: "If Tan'er has Jiaojiao and you half the governor, I don't need to worry so much."
As they were all sisters, Shen Miao was able to recognize heroes with discerning eyes, and at an early age, she set down Xie Jing Xing, a rare peerless man in the world, and it was passed down as a good story. After getting married, Xie Jing Xing would be eaten to death, there is no other woman in the harem of a country’s monarch other than the empress, so many women in the world could not envy Shen Miao. Besides, Xie Jing Xing's own conditions were so good.
Looking at Luo Tan again, after living for so many years, let alone winning a peerless man, there is no sign of an ordinary man. Originally, Ma Shi and Luo Liantai were still thinking that when their daughter grows up, the people who propose marriage will break the threshold, and there will be hundreds of women in a family asking for it, how lively it will be. As a result, it is quiet now, not even a shadow of a mosquito is seen, not to mention how embarrassed it is.
“Cousin Tan herself agreed to see each other?” Shen Miao asked.
"Does she dare to agree?" Ma said again, "Jiaojiao, you have a good relationship with her, so try to persuade her when you are busy. What's the matter with a girl's family going to the brothel all day long? But the door is clear, it's really unfortunate for the family."
Luo Tan has such a lively temperament, and ignores the rules and etiquette, living a more free and easy life, but it is also easy to be criticized.
Shen Miao replied cheerfully, "Okay, then I will start helping my cousin to keep an eye on it now. But whether it is successful or not, it is up to my cousin to like it."
"Then thank you Jiaojiao." Ma was overjoyed.
…
At night, Shen Miao was holding a long scroll and looked at it one by one, and she did not fall asleep until the middle of the night.
When Xie Jing Xing returned to the dormitory after processing the book, seeing that she was still waiting to read, he asked, "Didn't I let you go to sleep first?"
“There are some things I haven’t finished reading.” Shen Miao did not lift her head, her eyes continued to stick to the scroll.
Xie Jing walked over to take a look, and saw that on the scroll, each page had a small portrait of a man, and next to the small portrait were the man's name, family background, official position, and even his hobbies and skills.
Xie Jing Xing put the scroll together and asked, “What do you think this is for?”
“Get up.” Shen Miao took the scroll back from his hand, “Auntie asked me to find some reliable people for cousin Tan to look at, please don’t interrupt.”
“Luo Tan?” Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, “She is going to marry?”
“Auntie is very worried, it’s all a matter of convenience.” Shen Miao suddenly thought of something and looked at Xie Jing Xing, “Speaking of which, what does Gao Yang mean?”
"What do you mean?" Xie Jing Xing was inexplicable.
“To Cousin Tan.” Shen Miao looked at him: “I see that he likes Cousin Tan, but he doesn’t seem to explain anything, if Cousin Tan understands herself, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait in this life. My cousin doesn't understand, Gao Yang is a shrewd person, what does he mean by dragging him like this?"
Xie Jing Xing frowned and said thoughtfully, “Does Gao Yang like Luo Tan?”
Shen Miao stabbed him with her arm: "Are you blind?"
"How do I know what Gao Yang thinks." Xie Jing Xing felt wronged.
He is well-informed in his own affairs, but he is obtuse about the lifelong affairs of his friends. Shen Miao could see that Xie Jing Xing was also blind, so he was too lazy to ask him.
But Xie Jing Xing opened his mouth at this time, he said, "Gao Yang is a smart person, smart can easily be mistaken by smart."
Shen Miao immediately understood what he meant, she turned her head and looked at Xie Jing Xing, "You mean, Gao Yang may know his mind and deliberately did not speak, waiting for Cousin Tan to speak?"
“Not everyone is like—your husband can bend and stretch.” The corner of Xie Jing Xing’s lips curled up.
“Haha,” Shen Miao squinted at him, “Why don’t you say that not everyone is as shameless as you?”
Xie Jing Xing's face turned blue, only to hear Shen Miao say again, "But you are right, cleverness is mistaken for cleverness, Gao Yang's temperament is to hold everything in the palm of his hand, and he wants to wait for Cousin Tan to come to understand, I'm afraid it is Wrong."
Xie Jing Xing thoughtful: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Miao stared at him, "Of course I helped Cousin Tan." She approached Xie Jing Xing viciously and threatened, "Don't tell Gao Yang!"
Gao Yang was Xie Jing Xing's person, Xie Jing Xing naturally had to mention a few words occasionally. Xie Jing Xing grabbed her hand and smiled ambiguously, "Then it depends on Madam's performance tonight."
…
Shen Miao did what she said and as expected she found a booklet on the second day. There were three names above, and Luo Xueyan was sent to the Luo residence. Ma Shi was grateful that she would come back to the palace to thank Shen Miao in person, but Luo Xueyan comforted her, “I don’t know if Tan’er likes it or not, let’s talk about it when it’s done.”
The person that Shen Miao picked, Ma Shi could trust. This time, Luo Sui and Luo Liantai were also asked to watch together, and both of them nodded again and again. Luo Liantai entered the official position of Great Liang and knew a little about each official. The three people that Shen Miao picked were all young talents who were at the top of the rank. And the family background is excellent, the net worth is innocent, and the most important thing is that the character is absolutely correct.
Luo Tan thought that Ma Shi was just talking about it, and that Ma Shi had this heart, Shen Miao must be looking at her and she would definitely not let her look at these people. Unexpectedly, Shen Miao not only messed around with Ma, but also sent a booklet. Annoyed, Luo Tan sat in the room, lamenting in front of the mirror that her little cousin didn't love her anymore.
Although he was reluctant, Luo Tan still wanted to see these three young masters. Just because Luo Liantai cut off Luo Tan's money and didn't allow Luo Tan to go out, if he didn't act obediently, he didn't know how long he would be imprisoned. Mrs. Ma burst into tears in front of Luo Tan again. Luo Tan was soft and not tough. She felt that it was indeed unfilial to make Mr. Ma so embarrassed, so she agreed to meet the three of them.
The first was the son of a senior scholar in the cabinet. He was full of knowledge and gentle, but just talking made Luo Tan want to doze off a little. Thinking of that boring, must be out of the wall.
So frightened, Ma Shi immediately arranged for the second son.
The second son is a former lieutenant. He is still young now. After a few more years, he will definitely have a better future. It's just that this young lieutenant is very mature at a young age. Although he is handsome, he looks terrifying. Luo Tan said that if he gets married with this person, he will worry about whether he will be hacked to death by the person beside his pillow at night. .
When Ma thought about it, it was true that her daughter's family was all very delicate. Although Luo Tan was always carefree, she was with a general. If there was friction, wouldn't that person be stubborn and unwilling to give in? He also rejected the second one in his heart.
On the third day, finally ushered in the last one.
This one is the young master of the Zhongcheng family, Young Master He. Young Master He is now in his twenties, and he is still young. Although his family is a civil official, he also practices martial arts. He is a talented person with both civil and military skills.
As soon as he saw Luo Tan, the small saber on Kua Luotan's waist was very interesting.
It was a small knife that Luo Tan received with a lot of money. It looked inconspicuous, but it was a treasured knife that cut iron like mud. Ordinary people don't know the goods, but this Young Master He can see at a glance that the knife is a good knife. Luo Tan was very happy in her heart. Seeing that Young Master He had a handsome face and a comfortable bearing, Luo Tan, as a person who liked good-looking things, was particularly willing to talk to him more.
After saying this, I found out that this young master He is really talented. Not only do I know a lot, but I have been to many places. Talking about the anecdotes and strange things in those places, Zhijiao Luo Tan listened intently. Although he was also full of knowledge, he never showed off, let alone those obscure words. Instead, he changed the way that Luo Tan could understand and explained it in a succinct manner. , It was very interesting to hear him speak, and before you knew it, the two of them were talking about dark.
This day was unexpectedly pleasant.
Young Master He also seemed to be very satisfied with Luo Tan, and the two agreed to go out to play together tomorrow.
Back at the mansion, Ma asked Luo Tan, "Tan'er, what do you think of this Young Master He?"
Luo Tan said, "That's right, as a friend, I'm really qualified."
Ma Shi and Luo Liantai almost cried with joy. Luo Tan sees people based on her liking, and being her "friend" is almost half the battle. After listening to Luo Tan's maid talking about how the two of them were talking happily, Ma finally let go of most of her heart.
At night, when Ma Shi and Luo Liantai were talking about this, they also said, "Should we go to the He Mansion to say hello? I sent a message to Mrs. He, let's sit down together another day."
"What's the hurry?" Luo Liantai said, "The eight characters haven't been written yet."
"Yes." Ma sighed: "I'm not worried about this, but Tan'er's marriage. Speaking of which, I thought that Doctor Gao was not bad at first, and I liked Tan'er when I looked at him. It's like, it's just... Later, Wu Shi said, thinking about it, he would be wrong."
Ma shi liked Gao Yang in his heart. He looked handsome, and he didn't have a complicated family. If Luo Tan married, she would be the mistress of the house, as long as she managed the servants well. Who knows that Gao Yang doesn't seem to mean that, Ma Shi is also a backbone, no matter how good you are, what if you are a genius from a family of great doctors? If you don't like my girl, that's fine, my girl doesn't have to worry about no one likes it.
On the other side, Luo Tan was holding her cheeks, thinking that she and Gao Yang hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Gao Yang has now returned to the Gao family. Although he does not live in the Gao family, he is considered to have returned to the family tree. Gao Zhan had a lot of things to explain to him. Gao Yang used to look for Luo Tan from time to time, but now there are fewer of them. The most recent one was also a month ago.
Luo Tan felt a little lost for some reason.
But after thinking about it, maybe I don't have a playmate. Fortunately, today's Young Master He is also very interesting, can play together, and is very liked by Ma Shi. If that is the case, it should be a different person to play with.
Luo Tan didn't know that she was drinking tea with Young Master He in the teahouse, but someone saw her.
At this moment, while feeding the parrot, Ji Yushu said, "It's been a long time since I went to play with Luo Tan. Why doesn't she come over these days?"
Gao Yang was stunned and said, "What's wrong?" Ji Yushu mentioned Luo Tan carefully, then something must have happened.
"Today, on my way back, I saw Luo Tan walking with a man." Ji Yushu pondered, "It's quite happy to see her, will she be playing with others in the future?"
Gao Yang was stunned and asked, "What did you say?"
…
The next day, Luo Tan really went to play with Young Master He again.
I heard that Young Master He is very capable and has a promising career, but I didn't expect that he would be very good at playing. Luo Tan thought that he was walking the streets and alleys every day, and he almost touched the city of Long Ye. Who knows that when Young Master He comes out, he realizes that he is not a native of Longye after all. Young Master He knows many small shops or restaurants that others don’t know about, which is refreshing. Luo Tan likes these novelties the most. The decadence of the days, I feel like I have come to Longye for the first time, I bought a lot of things.
The two of them seem to be the same kind of people, they love to eat and play, and they are full of energy.
On this day, the sun went down and he left reluctantly. Young Master He sent Luo Tan back to the house.
When Gao Yang came to Luofu, he happened to see Luo Qian coming out of it, what he was going to do. He is no longer the spirited young man he used to be, he has grown a lot taller, and his immature face has gradually begun to show the fortitude of a man.
It's just that this escaping temper is still the same as before, and it is worthy of being two brothers and sisters.
As soon as he saw Gao Yang, he said, "Doctor Gao!"
Gao Yang: "…"
Both brothers and sisters love to call him "Doctor", but his identity is not an ordinary doctor, and he still has an official position, okay
Luo Qian asked, "Doctor Gao, are you looking for my sister? My sister is not here."
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, and asked quietly, "Oh? It's so late, haven't you come back yet?"
Luo Qianyi waved his hand and pretended to be old-fashioned: "Hey, going out with that young master He, probably can't find Bei for playing."
"Young Master He..." Gao Yang chewed on the name, and before he could ask any more questions, he heard Luo Qian say, "Hey? What are you talking about, they are back!"
Gao Yang followed Luo Qian's gaze and turned his head to look, and saw a handsome young man and Luo Tan both approaching, the servant behind him was holding a bunch of things, Luo Tan was very bold and said to the other party, "I will travel the north and south of the river in the future. Riding a horse to the end of the world, count you! There must be a lot of fun!"
Master He smiled and said, "It's an honor."
Gao Yang's mouth twitched.
Luo Qian greeted Luo Tan, "Sister! Doctor Gao is here to find you!"
Only then did Luo Tan see Gao Yang, Gao Yang walked over and smiled at Luo Tan before looking at the legendary young master He.
Young Master He looked very handsome and gentle, and just now he saw that he was chatting with Luo Tan very happily. When he saw Gao Yang, he said to Luo Tan, "If you have a guest, I won't disturb you." After that, he ordered his entourage. He took a small box and said: "I saw it by chance on the way back yesterday, and I think you will like it." He scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I hope you don't dislike it."
Luo Tan took it and said happily, "Thank you, I always believed in your vision."
Seeing that the two of them were so happy, Gao Yang only felt a little aggrieved. After finally sending Young Master He away, Luo Tan asked Gao Yang, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Gao Yang squinted at her and said, "I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"
"That's not true," Luo Tan said. "You're not going back to Gao's house, you have a lot of things to do." As he spoke, he opened the box that Young Master He gave her.
There was a bracelet in the box. Luo Tan never liked these bead hairpin jewelry, but this bracelet was a thin gold chain, and the pendant was a delicate knife, only the size of a little finger's fingernail, lifelike and cute. Luo Tan immediately couldn't put it down and started playing.
Seeing this, Gao Yang became more and more unhappy, and said, "If that's the case, you can also walk with me."
"Why do I..." Before Luo Tan could finish speaking, Gao Yang grabbed her arm and walked out. Although she has martial arts, she is not enough to see in front of Gao Yang. Gao Yang looked at the modest gentleman on weekdays, but he was not weak. Luo Tan couldn't help but was led away by Gao Yang.
Luo Qian waved to the two of them from behind, and said, "Come back early, sister!"
Gao Yang kept taking Luo Tan to an alley before letting go.
Luo Tan's wrist was hurt by his grasp, and she couldn't help but shake her hand and complain, "Are you crazy?"
Gao Yang was stunned for a while, then he opened his mouth and said after a while, "I'm very busy, and you're not free either?"
"Ah?" Luo Tan was not a sister.
"Have you had a good time with Young Master He?" Gao Yang looked at her, but his tone was a little strange: "I only used 'Sulai' for a few days. Are you familiar with him? Do you trust him?"
Gao Yang was really weird today, Luo Tan didn't make sense, and subconsciously returned: "Are you sick? I have to tell you who I know. What happened to you today, did you take the wrong medicine? Your grandfather? scolded you?"
Gao Yang took a deep breath and said, "If I don't come to find you, will you go out to play with others?"
Luo Tan was confused by Gao Yang's tone today, and she was not a patient person, so she said, "You are too domineering, if you don't come to me, I will naturally find someone else to play with, otherwise I will be bored by myself. Did you die in the house? There are so many people in the world, so of course you need to make friends."
"Just a friend?" Gao Yang bullied him and said, "Didn't you already start seeing your future husband?"
Luo Tan was startled and asked, "How do you know?"
Her words fell in Gao Yang's ears, but she was tacitly acknowledging the truth.
Gao Yang said, "Then what do you think of him?"
This time, he returned to his usual gentle tone. Seeing his normal expression, Luo Tan just thought he was normal now. He said: "It's not bad, I don't want those literate scholars, and they're not vulgar, it's quite interesting."
Gao Yang said, "Don't meet him again."
Luo Tan was puzzled: "What's the matter with you? Why do you keep saying strange things today. Not to mention that this is what my mother asked me to see. But what kind of friends to make and what husband to choose are all my own business. What kind of heart is this? Do you have to care if I see others in the future?"
"Yes." Gao Yang interrupted her.
Luo Tan was stunned.
"I thought you would understand it yourself. But you stupidly taught me to be amazed, or, in fact, you are smart, so you deliberately beat me?" He thought thoughtfully.
Luo Tan couldn't understand what he said, so she only heard Gao Yang say that she was stupid, and she immediately exploded, saying, "You are stupid. Not only are you stupid, you are also making trouble. I just like to play with Young Master He, you won't let me see him. , I prefer. How can it be so unreasonable... "
Before she could finish her words, Gao Yang pulled her into his arms and blocked her lips.
His kiss was as gentle as himself, and he seemed to be a modest gentleman. However, in the softness, he was also strong and undeniable.
Luo Tan covered her mouth and took two steps back.
No matter how rough she is, she still knows what it means. She never thought deeply about her relationship with Gao Yang. In her opinion, Gao Yang is a good friend. Although he likes to tease people, he looks gentle and talkative, but he is actually a bad person, but he can still be regarded as a gentleman.
But now the gentleman has taken advantage of her in such a grand manner
If it were someone else, I'm afraid Luo Tan would have raised his sword and slashed people all over the city. But when she met Gao Yang, apart from panicking, she didn't show much anger.
It seems that he is used to such a close gesture.
Yes, I'm used to it.
Followed from Dingjing to Long Ye, and lived in Gao Mansion. For a long time, Gao Yang definitely regarded her as a gentleman, but from time to time he made some affectionate gestures. Those actions were very natural, and Luo Tan was carefree and would not be too fussy. So that it seems like eating mulberry leaves, it is logical, and it seems to be very common to do such outrageous things now.
Luo Tan was terrified.
Seeing her like this, Gao Yang looked slightly relaxed, but his tone was soft.
He said, "Don't see him again."
Luo Tan was ashamed and angry: "Why are you..."
"If you can't see it, I have to really doubt that you can't pick a second place in the world." Gao Yang chuckled.
Luo Tan's face turned red and white, white and red, and finally said suddenly, "Do you like me?"
Gao Yang coughed lightly and said, "I've done it so clearly."
Luo Tan felt wronged, where did she understand. He did not come to propose marriage, nor did he write love poems, nor did he speak sweet words from time to time like Xie Jing Xing did to Shen Miao, only a ghost could tell!
Gao Yang said: "In the beginning, I just thought you were funny and wanted to tease you. Later, I thought you were very interesting, and I felt uncomfortable when I saw you getting close to other people. I will understand. But now I understand, with your head, if I don't say it, you will never understand it for the rest of your life."
He took a step forward, not giving Luo Tan a chance to escape, and said, "Do you understand?"
Luo Tan was a little confused by him, and nodded subconsciously, "Hmm... oh."
"That's good." Gao Yang happily stopped her shoulders: "Then go back to the manor now."
"Which house?" Luo Tan asked.
"Of course it's Luo Mansion." Gao Yang smiled lightly: "It's time to mention our marriage to my mother-in-law."
After a while.
"Gao Yang, you are courting death!"
