A modern worker with consistently bad luck - Luo Chaoyan, was blown into a strange ancient time by a typhoon.
Her father is a fifth-rank petty official, and her mother is the daughter of a we...
Chapter 121
One morning, Luo Chaoyan took Fengli and Shulan back to her parents' home to visit her elderly father and mother. Thousands of
Huo Jin sent her there, but when the carriage arrived at Luo's house, he did not intend to get off.
Huo Jin recalled the angry look on his father-in-law's face when he saw the embroidered handkerchief his wife gave him, and said, "I'm afraid my father-in-law doesn't want to see me now."
Luo Chaoyan blinked, not quite understanding what he meant.
Huo Jin didn't explain much and smiled, "I'll pick you up later."
Luo Chaoyan thought that if he came home, the family might be busy again, so she nodded.
The inner courtyard of the third room of Luo's mansion
Luo Guanqing was originally very happy to see her daughter coming back to see her, but when she thought that her daughter had embroidered such complicated orchids for Huo Jin, and only embroidered a few pieces of bamboo for herself, she suddenly felt unbalanced. I feel like my daughter doesn't love him anymore.
So when Luo Chaoyan came in, he turned his head away with an angry look on his face, looking like he needed someone to coax him.
Luo Chaoyan looked at her mother with a puzzled look and said, "Mom, did you make father angry?" This shouldn't be the case, as it was always his father who made his mother angry.
Yin glared at her husband angrily and said to her, "Don't pay attention to him. I don't know what's wrong with him. He was like this when he came back from court yesterday."
Luo Chaoyan walked up to Luo Guanqing and whispered, "Father, I brought you a few jars of good wine. I have asked someone to hide them in your study."
Luo Guanqing's eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?"
Luo Chaoyan smiled and nodded, saying, "Dad, you should drink slowly." Otherwise, if mom knew about it, she might not let him drink anymore in the future.
Luo Guanqing gave her a blank look and whispered, "Don't worry, your father is an old hand, and I won't let your mother find out."
Thinking of the good wine in the study, he felt happy. Sure enough, his daughter still thought of him. However, he was still a little angry and said, "Humph, you little heartless boy, how long have you not come back to see your father?"
As he said this, he took out another handkerchief, pointed at a hole, and said, "Look, the handkerchief you embroidered for Daddy is torn. How long has it been since you embroidered anything for Daddy?"
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "It's my daughter's fault. Don't worry, Daddy. I will embroider a few more for you when I go back." Anyway, her father would not mind that her embroidery was ugly.
Luo Guanqing raised the corners of his lips and snorted, "That's more like it." Thinking of the pattern Huo Jin showed off in front of him, he quickly made a request, "It can't be bamboo leaves this time."
Luo Chaoyan coaxed him like she was coaxing a child and said with a smile, "No problem."
Luo Guanqing laughed when he heard this.
Yin looked at her husband speechlessly. It was obvious that he had made the hole himself. She was surprised. You know, this daughter-slave especially cherished the things embroidered by his daughter for him. I see this is what you are planning. You are really going backwards as you get older.
After the family of three exchanged greetings for a while, Luo Guanqing returned to the front yard to handle official business.
After Luo Chaoyan left her parents' yard, she went to Luoxin Courtyard.
When Yin Miaoshan saw her coming, she said happily, "Cousin, you're back!"
She looked behind her but didn't see little Huo An, so she said, "An An, why didn't you come?" Isn't little An An always very sticky to her cousin?
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "I was detained at home to study."
Yin Miaoshan immediately expressed sympathy.
Luo Chaoyan thought of the letter Su Qian had written to her some time ago, in which she said that Su Yi was punished for asking to marry her cousin, which showed that Su Yi was sincere. Moreover, even Mrs. Su came to visit, which meant that the Su family had agreed to the marriage.
She looked at Yin Miaoshan and said, "Cousin, what do you think? Are you really not interested in Mr. Su?"
Yin Miaoshan pursed her lips and said nothing for a while.
"If you really don't mean it, then forget it. Don't make it too hard on yourself." Luo Chaoyan patted her shoulder.
Yin Miaoshan asked, "Cousin, are you still respectful to your cousin's husband now?"
Luo Chaoyan was stunned. Treat each other with respect? Thinking of that night when he said he would accompany her to wherever she wanted to go, her face felt a little hot. Should we... forget about it? !
Yin Miaoshan was delighted to see this and joked, "It looks like the iron tree of cousin is finally going to bloom!"
"Cousin, do I need to prepare something?"
Luo Chaoyan looked confused.
Yin Miaoshan smiled and said, "It's something my future nephew will use!"
Luo Chaoyan just took a sip of tea and spat it out when she heard this.
She glared at her fiercely. What the hell was going on?
…
After noon, Huo Jin went to Luo's house to pick up Luo Chaoyan.
When Luo Guanqing saw him at the door, he snorted softly, then said loudly to his daughter, "Ayan, remember to forget what you promised Daddy."
After saying this, he looked at Huo Jin provocatively.
Luo Chaoyan raised her eyebrows. Why did she feel that her father was acting strange? She looked at Huo Jin, only to see that his expression was still cold.
Huo Jin politely bowed to him and Yin, then helped Luo Chaoyan into the carriage.
On the carriage
Luo Chaoyan asked Huo Jin, "Do you know what happened to my father?"
Huo Jin looked at her and asked, "What did you promise your father-in-law?"
Luo Chaoyan did not hide anything and said, "Nothing, he just wanted me to embroider a few handkerchiefs for him."
Huo Jin pursed his lips, looked at her, and said, "Ayan, I also only have one handkerchief embroidered by you."
Then what?
Luo Chaoyan suddenly opened her eyes wide as she thought of something. She looked at him in disbelief and said, "Did you let my father see the handkerchief I embroidered for you?"
Huo Jin just looked at her and didn't answer.
When Luo Chaoyan saw this, she knew that she had guessed right. She found it a little funny that these two childish guys were arguing over a handkerchief.
"Okay, I'll embroider them all for you!"
Huo Jin felt somewhat pleased. He held her hand and said, "Forget it. Just embroider for your father-in-law." He knew that she was not good at doing these things. Besides, he didn't care about the handkerchief. He only cared whether she had him in her heart.
Luo Chaoyan said with a teasing smile: "It's okay, it's just a few handkerchiefs, I'll embroider them for you, otherwise what will you do if you have a big fight in front of the palace gate?"
