Wonderful Puppet

"Hey, son, you, are you going like this?" Ban Xia asked with a tangled expression.

Luo Tianxuan looked down at the crumpled clothes, got off his horse and walked to Duke Zhen's mansion.

A middle-aged man in a stone-blue cotton jacket embroidered with chrysanthemum patterns came forward, with a fair complexion and a beard on his jaw.

Seeing Luo Tianzheng, he showed a friendly smile: "Da Lang, where did this come from, and how did you make it look like this?"

The depths of Luo Tianxuan's eyes turned cold, but his dark eyes were unfathomable, and the gleam of light covered the coldness long ago.

In the face of this person, he has long been able to restrain all the emotions he shouldn't have.

The hands in the sleeves clenched into fists, but there was a breezy smile on his face: "Second Uncle, are you going out?"

"Well, go out and do some errands." Master Luo Er nodded kindly, "Is there a lot of things recently? You have been weak since you were young, and your body is the most important thing."

"Second uncle, don't worry, my nephew will take good care of me." Luo Tianzheng sneered in his heart, but kept an impeccable smile on his face.

The look of inquiry in Master Luo Er's eyes didn't fade away, but he didn't want to be discovered by Luo Tianzheng, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go out first, I'll be free some other day, we two have a drink."

Luo Tianxuan smiled and cupped his fists: "The nephew is just waiting to drink with my second uncle."

Only then did the second master Luo lift his foot, passing Luo Tianxuan by the shoulder.

But I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Why is his nephew becoming more and more incomprehensible recently.

In the past, going to Longhuwei was just to lay eggs, but in the past few months, he stayed there all the time.He didn't even stay in the mansion.

Could it be that he sensed his own thoughts?

Master Luo Er was startled, and then shook his head secretly.

Apart from this, there was no change in his attitude towards himself.

Besides, I have been planning for many years and carefully planning, even the old lady has never noticed the slightest clue. He is a child who is not yet weak, can he become enlightened overnight?

Master Luo Er sneered.

In any case, he will never allow any mistakes.Let years of hard work be ruined, it seems that it is time to make another move.

Master Luo Er went out, turned around and walked into a residential house, and said to the people inside: "It's time for the swallows to come out of their nests."

On this side, Luo Tianzhen suppressed the hatred and resentment that had been separated for a lifetime, as if wearing a perfect mask on his face.He headed towards the Qingfeng Hall calmly, but was stopped by a maid on the way.

"My lord, the old lady invites you to go over."

"Yeah." Luo Tianzhen nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the girl's heart skipped a beat when she saw it, and then the base of her ears turned red slightly.

In the past, I didn't think about it, why now I see the son every time.I feel that I can't help my heartbeat while being nervous.

Looking at Luo Tianzheng wearing Longwei's tight attire, although the clothes are messy.But it was hard to hide the broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the slender legs with strong steps. The maid blushed and turned her eyes away, and then she couldn't help but look over.

Feeling the scorching sight behind him, Luo Tianzheng's mouth froze, and then he quickened his pace.

Suddenly pulling away the distance, the maid's original small steps were messed up.I don't know which foot to step on the skirt.

The scorching gaze disappeared, and the corners of Luo Tianzheng's mouth curled up freely.Then I heard a plop behind me, and when I turned around, I saw the maid fell to the ground in the posture of a dog eating shit, very embarrassed.

"Shi, son..." The maid subconsciously stretched out her hand.

Luo Tianzheng smiled dignifiedly: "Hongxi, be careful, I walk fast, it's okay if you can't keep up and walk slowly, don't fall yourself again."

"Thank you, sir—" Hong Xi lowered her head shyly, before she finished speaking, she raised her head, and saw Luo Tianzheng had already turned around and strode away.

Hongxi's face was white and red, and she retracted her hands that were frozen in mid-air and got up silently. Thinking of Luo Tianzheng's smile before leaving, she still couldn't help but caressed her beating heart.

"Grandmother, are you looking for me?" Luo Tianzheng entered the Yi'an Hall, and found a woman wearing a round-neck sarong with honey wax yellow broken branches peony sitting in the room.

But after a momentary pause, he saluted again: "Second Aunt."

The woman raised a smiling face and waved at Luo Tianzheng: "Da Lang, Second Aunt hasn't seen you for a while, hey, how did you do this, like a mud monkey?"

Luo Tianxuan walked over, endured the disgust in his heart and explained: "Since what happened in Yongwang Mingxinzhuang, the emperor has strictly controlled us."

The woman nodded: "This is what it should be, old lady, you see Dalang is very promising, he became the head of the guard at a young age, the future will be great."

The old lady Dou laughed.

This grandson grew up with her since he was a child. Of course he is happy to have a future, and now he is somewhat satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Luo Tianxuan glanced at the woman, smiled lightly and said, "Second Aunt has won the prize."

The woman glanced at him and smiled at the old lady: "Old lady, look at Dalang, you still have to say such kind words. What is wrong with my daughter-in-law? It is not a big deal at his age to be the head of the guard." ability."

The old lady nodded: "Mr. Tian is right, Brother Ming, you have really worked hard these days. Grandma sees that you are dark and thin."

Tian hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law ordered the kitchen to prepare angelica pigeon soup, which is the most nourishing. Dalang should eat more today to nourish his body."

The old lady was even more satisfied.

Although this daughter-in-law comes from an ordinary background, she is unavoidably petty when she does things occasionally, but she has nothing to say to Brother Ming. Just based on this, it is considered rare. of.

"The second child is out to do some errands, Mrs. Tian, ​​you can have dinner with us tonight."

"Hey, it's been a long time since my daughter-in-law had dinner with the old lady and Da Lang."

"Grandmother, grandson has something to go out for a while."

The old lady frowned slightly: "It's getting dark, Brother Ming, why are you going out?"

"Go to Princess Zhaoyun's mansion, and I have something to do with Second Young Master Han."

"If it's not something urgent, can't we go again tomorrow morning?"

Tian covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm afraid the old lady doesn't know that Miss Zhen Si from Jian'anbo Mansion is in the Princess's Mansion."

"Huh?" The old lady looked at Luo Tianzheng, with no expression of joy or anger.

Anger welled up in Luo Tianxuan's heart.

Tian's invisibly dug another hole for him and Zhen Si.

Refuse to eat with grandma.Going to meet Zhen Si on purpose, what would grandma think of him and Zhen Si?

Luo Tianxuan sneered in his heart.

This time, whether to obediently jump into the pit is up to her!

After being slightly stunned, she showed a surprised and bewildered look: "Has Fourth Miss Zhen gone to the eldest princess's mansion? I don't know about it. Where did Second Aunt get the news from?"

Zhen Si went to the Princess's mansion to take care of Zhen Ning who was pregnant.

But according to the rules, it is not appropriate to talk about it when you are less than three months pregnant.So when Zhen Si went to the Princess's mansion, he just went there in a low-key manner.

If he hadn't received her letter, or he really didn't know about it, Second Aunt actually knew, is it really foolish to be a grandmother?

The old lady really showed a puzzled look: "Ms. Tian, ​​what is the Fourth Miss Zhen going to the eldest princess's mansion for? How did you know?"

The smile froze on Tian's face.There was such a momentary pause before he said: "It's a coincidence. That day when my daughter-in-law went to Baohua Building, she happened to meet the sedan chair of the eldest princess's mansion, so she couldn't help but pay more attention. Fourth Miss Zhen happened to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, and let the daughter-in-law I saw it."

Luo Tianxuan smiled: "This nephew doesn't know anything about it. It's just a coincidence that the book can't be written. The Fourth Miss Zhen just lifted the sedan chair curtain to let the Second Aunt see it, but this happened a few days ago. The Fourth Miss Zhen just went to Changzhou The Princess Mansion will not stay overnight, let alone today."

Tian forced a smile: "Hehe, old madam, my daughter-in-law is confused. They are young, handsome and beautiful standing together, they are really a couple, so I always want to make them get closer. That's why I thought about it, As soon as Da Lang said he was going to the Princess Mansion, he subconsciously thought Miss Zhen Si was still there."

The old lady glanced at Tian Shi.

Tian's heart tightened.

The old lady is not a fool, she even accompanied the old man to fight the enemy in the early years.

In recent years, I have enjoyed my old age, and this has eased down.

It seems that it will not be careless in the future.

The old lady said lightly: "Brother Ming and Miss Zhensi are not married after all, they are close or something, so it is not easy to talk nonsense in the future."

Tian's embarrassing answer was yes.

The old lady glanced at Luo Tianzheng: "Brother Ming, at this time, it's not appropriate for you to disturb me in the past. Let's talk about everything tomorrow. Let's have a good meal with grandma today."

Luo Tianxuan felt helpless, but it was hard to shirk.

Besides, it was dark early today, and he didn't post the post in advance, so it's really inappropriate to go there hastily, because he was too impatient when he encountered something related to Zhen Si before, and didn't think carefully.

Then he agreed with kindness: "It is my grandson's blessing to be able to eat with my grandmother. But my grandson's appearance is really ugly. Let's go back to Qingfengtang to wash up first."

The old lady nodded: "Then go quickly, when you come back, there will be dinner."

Luo Tianzheng bid farewell and left, Tian Shi still sat under the old lady, brought a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law sees that Dalang is getting more and more out of character, in the future our government will have to It depends on Dalang to support it."

"It's not." The old lady smiled kindly.

Tian's expression hesitated for a moment.

"What's the matter, Tian?"

Tian rubbed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I just think that Da Lang is nineteen now, and other people have children at this age. He is not married yet, so I feel sorry for him. Others will think that Dalang lost his parents since he was a child, and I, as an aunt, didn't care, so it was delayed."

The old lady's face darkened: "What's the delay? There's still me, my grandmother!"

Tian's heart tightened, and he secretly said "Damn it, why did Gu Gu make a slip of the tongue in order to elicit the following words."

What do you say that Dalang lost his parents since he was a child and delayed his marriage? Isn't this a slap in the face of the old lady?

Bah, it must have been the matter of Miss Zhen Si who was mentioned just now, and instead of dragging the two little brats into the water, it made the old lady suspicious, which made her lose her sense of control.

Secretly telling herself to be vigilant at all times, Tian made a gesture to slap herself on the mouth: "It's because the daughter-in-law is stupid and can't speak, which made the old lady angry."

The old lady's expression eased: "It's no wonder you, Brother Ming's marriage was indeed full of twists and turns, which delayed it to this age. But they will get married next year, so it will be more reassuring."

If it wasn't for the disappearance of the young lady that Ming Ge'er was engaged to two times before, and gradually spread the reputation of Ming Ge'er as a wife, it could be that the girl from Jian'anbo Mansion fell into the water with Ming Ge'er.Will she accept this marriage so easily?

"That's right." Mrs. Tian beat the old lady's leg attentively, "But fourth Miss Zhen is young, she will be born next year, and I'm afraid she will have to wait a year or two when she gets married."

"That's also a matter of no solution. There is absolutely no reason to let the son-in-law be born after the son-in-law. Tian, ​​since you are in charge of the house, you must take care of it. There are several housewives in Brother Ming's nursery, don't let them Something happened."

Speaking of this, his tone became cold: "If anyone who doesn't understand the rules dares to have a body. Don't think about flying up to a branch and turning into a phoenix. The child can't be kept, and the person will be sold to me far away. You have to beat me."

Tian smiled wryly: "Oh, my old lady, you are still afraid of those girls being naughty. You don't know. Not long ago, the mother-in-law who was in charge of Qingfengtang's internal affairs was looking for a daughter-in-law, and she hesitated to the end. Son, say Dalang—”

"What do you mean bro?"

Over the years, Mrs. Tian has treated Brother Ming's son better than his mother, and has taken care of everything carefully. If there is anything wrong in Brother Ming's nursery, the mother-in-law will ask her to report.It is also normal.

Tian's face turned red, and she lowered her voice and said, "Talk about Da Lang. I haven't touched those girls' bodies in the past few months. The girl named Xiufeng threw herself into the well at the time because she couldn't think about it."

"Uh, there is such a thing?" The old lady straightened her face.

It's certainly not a big deal for a few girls to die or live.

But what Tian said about this matter was not too big, not too small.

If Brother Ming is busy these days, it's fine if he doesn't take care of it.I'm afraid that he hurt his body after sunset that day, what should I do?

The old lady thought.His face became more and more ugly.

Mrs. Tian persuaded: "Old lady, don't worry, according to my daughter-in-law, those maids have been with Da Lang for a long time, maybe Da Lang is tired of watching, why don't you add someone to him—"

The old lady thought about it and nodded.

Tian smiled quietly.

At this time Luo Tianzheng walked in, already dressed completely.

Wearing a bamboo-colored brocade silk straight dress, it sets off the bright moon and clear wind.

The old lady nodded to the maid Hong Fu who was standing beside her, and Hong Fu hurriedly passed the meal.

Soon, the maids filed in, each with a tray, and the table was soon filled.

Start eating after washing your hands.

Since there are only three people, there is no rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, so the old lady pointed to the angelica pigeon soup: "Hong Fu, serve more of that pigeon soup to your son."

"Thank you grandma. Grandma, please eat more of this jujube soup." Luo Tianzheng said as he scooped up a spoonful and put it into the old lady's bowl.

The old lady took a bite and nodded: "This jujube soup is not bad, Mrs. Tian, ​​you should have some too."

Hongxi who was standing behind Tian hurriedly filled a small bowl for her.

The old lady glanced at Hongxi and then at Hongfu, feeling a little undecided.

These girls of hers are all old, if they are given to Brother Ming, they are not as good-looking as those in his house, so I am afraid they will not be entertained, but if they are older, they will be easy to bear in the future.

"Grandmother, why don't you eat?" Luo Tianzheng asked seeing the old lady's confused expression.

Out of the corner of his eye, he quietly glanced at Tian Shi.

Could it be that because of his lack of effort, what happened to his good second aunt?

"Hongfu, instruct the small kitchen to make three delicacies velvet antler soup for the son to eat tomorrow." The old lady said it out of the blue with a daze.

When Luo Tianzhen ate with his chopsticks, the food he was holding fell off.

The old lady regained her senses and said angrily: "Brother Ming, the vegetables are all gone, what are you thinking?"

Luo Tianxuan's face was almost dark.

Grandma, what are you thinking about?Thinking of giving him three deer antler soup!

During this period of time, he has been sleeping in the study room. He took a cold shower several times before turning off the fire, and then eating deer antler soup. I am afraid that he will see people with two nosebleeds in the future.

Thinking of that scene, the corners of Luo Tianzheng's mouth twitched.

"Grandmother, autumn dryness is easy to get angry, three fresh velvet antler soup, ahem, don't be in a hurry to eat it?"

Is his ability suspected?

Seeing the slightly raised corners of Tian's mouth, Luo Tianzhen gritted his teeth secretly.

He got it.

It must be that the second aunt wanted to stuff people into his room again.

Why, does he even care if he sleeps with the maid or not?

It's too long to stretch your hands!

"By the way, Brother Ming, Xiufeng disappeared a few months ago, so let's add someone to you."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the maidservants standing behind her were different.

Joy flashed across Hongxi's eyes, but Hongfu's face turned pale.

The masters naturally did not pay attention to the looks of the maids.The old lady looked at Luo Tianxuan with a questioning look.

Tian interjected and said, "Old Madam, although the maids are well-behaved, after all, they are from poor backgrounds. Why don't my daughter-in-law find a young lady with a clean background and who can read and write?"

Just as the old lady was about to speak, Luo Tianzheng had already opened her mouth: "Grandmother, Second Aunt, thank you for your concern. It's just that I will get married next year. Now that I bring my concubine in, wouldn't it be a shame for the Jian'an House? People joke that our Duke's Mansion has no rules. Do you not pay attention to women because of their high family status? There is no such precedent in our Duke's Mansion, from grandfather to second uncle. If the grandson breaks this rule, isn't it? How can you have the face to face people if you insult the family tradition? As for the girl in the house, it is not the number of people in the case, and there is no way to make up for it."

After some words, the old lady gave up her thoughts, and Tian secretly gritted her silver teeth.

Luo Tianzhen finished eating the pigeon soup contentedly, and then returned to Qingfengtang.

Just thinking about the Sanxian Deer Antler Soup, the more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and I couldn't sleep in the study.Still got up and went to Xikuanyuan.

Several girls in the house are placed there.

Knowing that the son is at home today, at this time.The lights are on.

Luo Tianxuan hesitated for a moment, then knocked on Qiyue's door.

The sound of the door opening was particularly ear-piercing in the silent night, followed by Qiyue's pleasantly surprised voice: "My lord!"

At that moment, Luo Tianxuan seemed to be able to feel the lights in the other rooms flickering through the screen windows.

He didn't care, and walked into the house.

"My son, you, are you going to rest?" Qiyue's face flushed with excitement.She looked at Luo Tianxuan's face greedily.

Luo Tianzhen pursed his lips in response.

"Then, the servant girl is waiting for you to wash up."

"No need. I washed it earlier." Luo Tianzheng found that he had no patience to talk to the maid, so he stretched out his hand, picked up Qiyue and threw it on the couch.

Now that we're here, let's settle the Sanxian Deer Antler Soup as soon as possible, so that some people don't have to worry about it.

Besides, he really hasn't touched it for a long time, so it's inevitable that he feels a little uncomfortable.

"Shizi——" Qiyue hugged Luo Tianzheng who was attached, her plump body clung to him tightly.

The woman's plump body gave him an instant reaction, and he tore off the clothes of the woman below without mercy.

The plump peach jumped out, dazzling people's eyes.

In a daze, Luo Tianzheng thought of that night, when he accidentally pressed his arm on that person's, he was so small that he couldn't feel it, and he was slapped for nothing.

What gradually became clear in her mind was her angry, wet and extremely clear eyes.

Just like the little hedgehog caught in Yongwang's mansion.

"My lord, this servant misses you so much—" The soft body of the woman arched upward desperately, her hands and feet wrapped around his neck and waist like an octopus.

An inexplicable nausea surged up, and Luo Tianzheng suddenly pushed that plump body away.

Desires are all gone.

"Shizi——" Qiyue sat up suddenly, looking at Luo Tianxuan in disbelief.

Luo Tianzhen straightened his clothes without saying a word.

In his previous life, Xiufeng, who lived until his grandmother passed away and was still serving him, would say similar things every time he had a good time.

Then she became pregnant with her own child, which discredited him from then on.

The body is clearly aching, but the heart is like being immersed in ice water, so cold that there is no warmth at all.

Such a plump body made it difficult for him to make any ripples.

It seems that he really needs the Three Fresh Deer Antler Soup.

Luo Tianxuan laughed at himself, then looked at Qiyue and said coldly: "Put on your clothes."

"My son, you, don't you want a maid?" Qiyue knew that if she didn't grasp the son who hadn't set foot in the Xikuanyuan for more than half a year, she might not have another chance in the future.

At that moment, my heart was overwhelmed, not only did I not put on my clothes, but I took off naked in an instant.

Just standing barefoot on the ground and staring at Luo Tianzheng.

"My lord, please take pity on your maidservant..."

Luo Tianzheng's eyes completely recovered, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's fine. Qiyue, you can do whatever you want, and make others think that we are together. Just, don't bother me."

He came here for the first time in more than half a year, and he must be interested in listening to the excitement tonight, and he must not disappoint.

Besides, he didn't want to spread a reputation that hurt people's self-esteem.

"Shizi—" Qiyue took a step forward without giving up.

Luo Tianzheng lay on the bed, without even looking at Qiyue, he said flatly: "Qiyue, don't forget what happened to Xiufeng. I always thought that you are smarter than her."

Qiyue's body trembled, her face was frighteningly pale, and she said with difficulty: "My lord, I understand what to do."

Not long after, the woman's delicate and exciting voices sounded.

Luo Tianzheng was lying on his side on the bed, he couldn't help being upset when he heard the voice, and forced himself to think of other things to divert his attention, and for some reason he remembered that night visit again.

As the night darkened, the charming voice of the woman beside her never stopped.

In this clamorous night, reality and memory were confused, Luo Tianzheng felt his consciousness was blurred, but his body became hot.

Subconsciously grasping the hot spot and moving it.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt a cold in my hand.

Under Qiyue's awkward and strange expression, Luo Tianzheng wiped the things on the bed sheet casually without changing his face, and gave her a warning look: "You can rest, go to sleep."

There was nothing to say all night, and the sky was bright in a blink of an eye. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
