No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 276 Snake Bracelet
In the teahouse by the street, Luo Junyao sat by the window and looked at Luo Jinyan who was sitting opposite him with his chin resting on his hand.

Luo Jinyan put down his teacup helplessly, "What are you looking at?"

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Brother, aren't you busy these days? I just sent Sister Su home, and you showed up?"

Luo Jinyan said: "I'm quite busy, otherwise I wouldn't even listen to other people's stories about you helping the government capture the wanted criminals bravely."

However, Luo Junyao was not fooled by him, and said with a smile: "So, big brother came here to care about me?"

Luo Jinyan glanced at her coldly, but Luo Junyao smiled even more happily, "Brother, just tell me if you're worried. But Sister Su's problem has almost been solved, and you have no chance to be a hero to save the beauty. Isn't it a pity?"

Hearing this, Luo Jinyan's expression eased a little, "It's solved?"

"Yeah." Luo Junyao nodded again and again, Luo Jinyan's eyes fell on the wooden box she was putting on hand, Luo Junyao quickly hugged the wooden box in his arms, "I can't show you this, this is Sister Su's secret." Sister Su Trusting her so much, she certainly can't live up to her trust.

"She trusts you quite a bit." Luo Jinyan said lightly.

Luo Jun shook his face with a somewhat smug expression, "Of course, I am such a trustworthy person." Unlike you, you are still a passer-by now.

Luo Jinyan sighed, and said, "Forget it, since the matter is settled, I won't ask you any more. I told you to go out with Jinxing, why did you throw him away again?"

Luo Junyao was very helpless, "Brother, second brother also has serious errands, not my bodyguard, okay? He has something to go out in the army, and he will come back in the afternoon to take me to see Mr. Cai's progress. I am very good, and Ling Lan and Yao'er are also very good, so nothing will happen."

Luo Jinyan looked at her without saying a word, of course he knew she was very good, but...

Reaching over the table and rubbing her head, Luo Jinyan said softly, "Is there anything uncomfortable recently?"

Luo Jun shook his head again and again, "No."

Luo Jinyan said: "If something happens, if you can't beat it, avoid it if you can. Don't confront people head-on." Luo Jun was stunned, and then he understood Luo Jinyan's worry.

In fact, that little problem is nothing to her. After all, it doesn't happen every two days, and the trigger threshold is quite high.But the elder brother cared about himself after all, Luo Junyao nodded obediently and said: "I know, don't worry, elder brother."

Luo Jinyan said: "I will be outside the city for a few days. If there is anything to do, send someone to deliver a letter to me, or you can tell my father directly."

"I know." Luo Jun shook his head.

On the other side of the Su family, Su Rui was invited to her grandfather's study before she even had time to step into her yard.Because of what she did earlier, Su Rui still felt somewhat guilty.

Pushing open the door of the study and walking in, I saw Mrs. Su sitting on a recliner in front of the window with her eyes closed.Taifu Su is old and not in good health. Although he still upholds the style of a literati and always sits upright in front of outsiders, he still prefers to rest on something in private at home.

"grandfather."

Old Madam Su opened his eyes, looked sideways at Su Rui and beckoned to her, "A Rui, come here."

Su Rui went to her grandfather and knelt down, and said softly, "Grandfather called A Rui, do you have any orders?"

Mrs. Su sized up her granddaughter, and asked after a while, "Have you solved your trouble?"

Su Rui was startled, and the expression on her face couldn't help changing, "Grandfather, I..."

Old Madam Su sighed lightly and said, "You have always been a smart child, but it's a pity..."

Looking at old lady Su's knowing expression, how could Su Rui not understand?

"Grandfather, you know everything?" Su Rui lowered her head, a little ashamed.Old Madam Su sighed softly, stretched out his hand to touch the top of her hair and said, "There are so many children in the Su family, you are the most like me when I was young."

Su Rui raised her head in astonishment, she could already hear that there was no sense of blame in her grandfather's words.Old Madam Su quickly put down his hands, and said with a smile: "Your father and a few brothers are still good at school, but they are not as good as you. I didn't expect that our Su family is almost going to have a female champion."

Su Rui's pretty face couldn't help turning red, she lowered her head and said, "Grandfather, don't laugh at me, I'm just..."

Old Madam Su smiled and said: "When my grandfather was thirteen or fourteen years old, he hadn't been admitted to Juren yet." Su Rui was startled, but soon calmed down again, "I almost caused trouble for the Su family." Even if he passed the exam What's the use?Doesn't she want to continue to marry a husband and raise children in the future?If it wasn't Xiao Hong, it would be someone else.

Old Madam Su sighed: "After all, I'm still a child, and I'm always in a hurry about little things."

Su Rui looked at her grandfather in puzzlement, the old master Su didn't intend to reprimand her, so she quickly said: "But the matter was handled fairly well. This matter is not big if it is not big. You have neither occupied other people's places, nor have someone take the exam for you, nor have you participated in fraud, so there is nothing to worry about."

"But, I..." Su Rui whispered.

Old Madam Su said: "At most, it's just a forged identity. Grandpa can still solve this matter for you if something really happens."

Su Rui is rarely at a loss, "I..."

Old Madam Su asked: "Dasheng has never expressly stipulated that women are not allowed to take the exam, but women took part in the imperial examination in the previous dynasty." The system of Dasheng is basically inherited from Dongling. But there is no express provision that women are not allowed to take the exam.Of course, Su Rui is still at fault for forging her identity, but this matter is not a problem for the Su family.

"Grandfather, don't you blame me? If this gets out, the reputation of the other sisters..." Su Rui asked in a low voice.

Old Madam Su sighed and said: "Our Su family has a talented girl. Grandpa is too happy to be happy, but I have wronged you."

Su Rui shook her head again and again, "The granddaughter is not wronged."

"You must have thought about the price of what you do yourself before you do it." Old Madam Su said slowly: "As for the other sisters, if others have opinions on other girls because of you, then don't worry about such people. "

Su Rui nodded. She was only 12 years old when she secretly went to the hospital for the first time, maybe she didn't think of this, but when she was older, she would understand, and she had always been mentally prepared, the only thing was that she was worried about hurting others.

Old Madam Su said in a deep voice: "That kid from the Xiao family doesn't know how to flatter you. Since you have settled the matter, let your father dissolve the engagement after the eldest son of the Xiao family enters Beijing. We girls of the Su family don't need to suffer this kind of grievance."

Su Rui nodded and said, "I've already told my father, did my father mention it to my grandfather?"

The old lady Su Fu Hanxiao glanced at her granddaughter, and with just one look at Su Rui, she understood that her actions these days probably never escaped her grandfather's eyes.

The reason why my father agreed to divorce the Xiao family so easily, apart from being angry at Xiao Hong's actions, is also because of his grandfather's intentions?
"Thank you, grandfather." Su Rui leaned against the armrest and said softly.

Old Madam Su waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, don't worry about such a trivial matter all day long. The Luo family...the regent princess looks pretty good. Since you can play with her, it's good to move around more."

Su Rui nodded and smiled, "I know, thank you grandfather."

Watching his granddaughter go out, Old Madam Su slowly closed his eyes again, still looking at ease.

He is really old, and he can no longer be as energetic as he was when he was young, and he is no longer able to intrigue and strategize in the court.Now, besides worrying about the future of the Su family, his little great-grandson who was a companion in the palace at a young age is also worried about this granddaughter who is too smart.

"Old master." The steward outside the door knocked lightly on the door of the study.

Old Madam Su Fu didn't even move her eyelids, and said calmly, "Come in."

The steward pushed open the door, walked up to him with a box in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Old Master, the Luo family sent something over, saying that the Old Master should have a look at it in person."

Old Madam Su frowned, and then opened his eyes, "The Luo family? Who's in the Luo family?"

The steward said: "Young master of the Luo family."

Mrs. Su sat up slowly, took the box and opened it. Inside was a not-so-thick dossier and a letter from Luo Jinyan.

Old Master Su just glanced at the file hastily, then picked up the letter to read carefully.His eyes were already a little troubled, and he read the not-so-long letter for a while before putting it down.

The steward stood respectfully aside and waited for his order. In the past two years, the time it took for the old man to make decisions was always longer than in the past. Naturally, these close confidants felt the most obvious.

After a while, I heard Old Madam Su say: "Take this to the master. If he asks, he will just say that I gave it to you."

The steward responded respectfully, "Yes, old man."

Old Madam Su thought for a while, and then continued: "Send the contents of the box behind my bookshelf to the eldest son of the Luo family, and don't let anyone see it."

"Yes." After making sure that the old man had no other orders, the steward walked out respectfully holding his things.

The study room soon became quiet again. Old Madam Su snorted softly, lay back down slowly, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

While the Su family was still peaceful and peaceful, Luo Junyao and Luo Jinyan encountered a little trouble.

Naturally, it wasn't that she was looking for trouble, but that things came to her on their own initiative.

After chatting with Luo Jinyan, she went out, but was blocked by a group of blind people when she was about to go downstairs.

Although this teahouse is not one of the best teahouses, it was very quiet and peaceful in the past when it opened in the place closest to the inner city.But in the past few days, there have been a lot of obvious outsiders everywhere in the city. Some of these people know what it means to be low-key, but there are not a few people who are flamboyant. .

When the two of them left the wing room, they were stopped by four people from the rivers and lakes. The four people were dressed in different clothes, and their appearance was also different, and some of them obviously had alien blood.

The first one was a short and thin young man. Luo Junyao was not tall among women of the same age, but this young man was only about an inch taller than her.Not only short but also very thin, even thinner than Luo Junyao, it looks like a small bone frame covered with skin.The other party's complexion is sallow, with a pair of gray-blue eyes, and there is an earring inlaid with black gemstones on the left ear of his bare head.

Such a dress is obviously not from the Central Plains no matter how you look at it.

"Girl, please stay." The young man stopped in front of Luo Junyao, and his gray-blue eyes cast a gloomy glance at Luo Jinyan who was following her.

Luo Junyao asked, "What's the matter?"

The young man smiled and said: "I have a relationship with the girl, I want to give this to the girl." He handed something to Luo Junyao, Luo Junyao was a little surprised, it was a bracelet.

A very gorgeous bracelet, the bracelet is in the shape of a snake, the golden bracelet body is inlaid with gemstones of unknown material to form lifelike scales one by one, and the eyes inlaid with black gemstones look weird and gorgeous.

These four strangely dressed guests had long attracted the attention of other guests upstairs, and seeing them suddenly stop them, both of them naturally looked over.Seeing the man suddenly take out such a thing, those who were close couldn't help but exclaimed.

The bracelet looked almost like a real snake.

Luo Junyao frowned slightly, and was about to refuse when Luo Jin said behind him: "She can't take your things."

The young man looked up at Luo Jinyan, and said in a cold voice, "Young master in the capital, I advise you not to meddle in your own business." Obviously he regarded Luo Jinyan as an ordinary rich son in Shangyonghuang City.

Luo Jinyan's expression was a little cold, and he pulled Luo Junyao to his side, and said, "You should keep the snake bracelet in Nanjiang for yourself."

"What if I have to give it away?" It seemed that Luo Jinyan knew this thing, and the young man looked at Luo Jinyan with gloomy eyes.

Luo Jinyan refused to give in, "You can try."

What is a snake bracelet?Luo Junyao was a little curious.

"Who is this girl to you?" The young man asked suddenly.

Luo Jin said: "It has nothing to do with you."

"It seems that she is not your wife." The young man suddenly laughed, but his smile looked a little scary, "In that case, if you go now, I will spare your life."

Luo Junyao was numb from the thunder, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Luo Jinyan, then at the short and thin young man and the three people behind him.

Those three people were obviously watching a play, they didn't intervene or persuade the young man, they just stood aside and watched with great interest.

"What is a snake bracelet?" Luo Junyao asked.

Luo Jinyan said: "I will explain to you later, in short, you can't touch it."

"Oh, yes." Luo Jun shook his head and said to the young man, "He is my elder brother, but I am indeed married. I am sorry that I cannot accept your gift."

Hearing this, the young man's face instantly became gloomy and stern.Compared with him, the Musa next to Bai Jingrong was almost cheerful and sunny.

When Luo Junyao met those gray-blue eyes, he even felt like he was being watched by a wild beast.

A sense of danger arose spontaneously, and Luo Junyao instantly became vigilant.

"Married?" The young man said sadly, "It's okay, I don't care." After finishing speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Junyao. Luo Jinyan snorted coldly, raised his leg and kicked the acupuncture point on his arm.There was a strange smile on the young man's face, and the hand grabbing Luo Junyao suddenly changed direction and grabbed Luo Jinyan's leg.

It was only then that Luo Junyao saw that the young man's nails were longer than those of many noble ladies in the imperial city. Not only were they long, but they looked as hard as iron with a sharp, sharp gleam.His fingertips were an ominous black color, and there were even weird patterns on the nail caps. Luo Junyao faintly felt that the patterns seemed to be wriggling.

Before he had time to think about it, the Youyue thorn quickly unsheathed and blocked between the young man's fingers and Luo Jinyan's legs.The nail hit the body of Youyue's bayonet, making a crisp sound like metal hitting, and it was not damaged at all.

The young man snorted, took two steps back, and then set his eyes on Luo Junyao and the knife in her hand, "I didn't expect her to be a little beauty who knows martial arts, that would be even better."

The young man seemed to be getting more and more excited, his gray-blue eyes fixed on Luo Junyao with a kind of determination to win.
