Chapter 2

Luo Family Ancestral Hall

Luo Chaoyan sneaked in through the side door with her maid Fengli, and asked Fengli to keep watch outside the door. She walked into the main hall with the "tools for committing the crime" in her hand.

"Dad! Mom! Quick! Tie this cotton ball around your knees."

Luo Chaoyang handed four bags made of cotton to his kneeling parents.

Luo Lao San smiled and said, "Madam, our A Yan is really sensible."

Yin rolled her eyes at him but didn't refuse.

There was no way. A real man could bend and stretch. The kneeling mat in the ancestral hall was very hard. If she kneeled for too long, her legs would surely be bruised. She would not suffer this.

Of course, Luo Laosan, who had kneeled countless times since he was a child, had no awareness of being an unfilial descendant.

Luo Chaoyang also took out two soft-bag water bottles and two packages of snacks and asked them to keep them safe so that they would not be discovered by the guards.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will make up for this loss sooner or later." Luo Chaoyang said gritting his teeth.

Yin's scalp tightened when she heard this, and she glared at her, "What do you want to do? Don't cause trouble for me."

"Mom, I can't swallow this."

Luo Chaoyang felt extremely regretful. Why save anyone else but this little devil in sheep's clothing? Thinking of the suffocating feeling of drowning, she just wanted to beat that little devil up.

"Yes, I will never let anyone who dares to bully my daughter off easily." Luo Lao San said while eating snacks, "My daughter, we have to think about it carefully..."

As they spoke, the two of them came together and whispered.

Yin angrily grabbed Luo Laosan's ear and said, "What bad things are you two, father and daughter, planning in 'Wolf Gang' again? . "

"Ouch! It hurts! Madam!"

"Mom, that's not how you use the word."

Luo Chaoyan looked at her father with some pity: "Dad, you are at least the runner-up. After so many years, can't you teach my mother a lesson?"

"Your mother is a rotten wood that your father and I carved..." No, seeing his wife's fierce look, he quickly smiled and changed the subject: "You don't understand, your mother is called a woman without talent but virtue. I like your mother like this."

Luo Chaoyan suddenly got goosebumps. Well, you two are truly in love, I am just an accident.

Yin let go, looked at her daughter seriously and said, "My daughter, if you don't want to get married, your parents will help you argue. I heard that the young master of the Huo family is a troublemaker. If you marry him, you will definitely suffer. But the Huo family has a tutor after all, and we can't afford to offend him, so we can only endure his pushing you into trouble."

right! He is indeed not to be trifled with. But that little devil actually dared to play dirty tricks on her, so she could fight back.

Just wait for me, little devil.

Two days ago

Luofu Luoxinyuan

In the boudoir, Shu Lan was struggling to wake up her sleeping master.

"Girl, it's time to get up."

The person on the bed rolled over, hugged the quilt and fell asleep again.

"Miss!" Shu Lan used her trump card: "If you don't get up and delay your trip to the Su Mansion, I'm afraid that Madam won't allow you to go to the temple fair."

She looked at the people on the bed and counted in her mind. Just as he silently counted to three, he saw his daughter stand up.

Luo Chaoyang glared at the person who disturbed his sleep: "Shu Lan, you really are becoming more and more like Nanny Lu." He was just exposing other people's sore spots.

Fengli came in with a basin of water, and smiled when she heard it: "Miss, you are absolutely right. If Sister Shulan is angry, she will look like a stern face."

Pineapple said as she performed it for them, causing them both to laugh.

"You pineapple, you always make fun of me. I'll let you go."

As they talked, the two girls chased each other and played around.

“Ahem!”

At this time, Nanny Lu brought some clothes and jewelry with her maids. Seeing the two people making a fuss, he said with a stern face: "What are you two girls doing? Don't you see what time it is? Why don't you help the girl wash up? You are just making a fuss. If you delay the time, you will be punished!"

"Madame Lu, it's none of their business. It's my fault for getting up late." Luo Chaoyang walked up to her and said coquettishly, "Madame Lu, you don't know that I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed of a big black bug, which made me sleep poorly the whole night. So, I got up late. Please don't tell mother."

Madam Lu touched her smooth forehead lovingly: "You!" How could she not know about the quarrels between the girls? She just turned a blind eye to it.

Pointing to the maids, she asked them to put the gold and silver jewelry in their hands on the table, and then said with a smile: "These are all sent by the uncle recently. Madam asked you to dress up properly today, please try it on."

Luo Chaoyan felt her scalp tingling when she looked at the dazzling array of jewelry. When she thought about having to put these cumbersome and heavy jewelry on her head, she felt as if her head was weighed down by a thousand pounds.

If it were in the past, in modern times, she would have been very eager for it. This is all money! In modern times, she was an orphan who saved some money with her strong willpower and physical strength and managed to finish college with some difficulties.

She majored in accounting in college and after graduation went to work for a decent-sized toy company. Life was originally peaceful and stable. But I didn't expect that a typhoon would suddenly blow when I was riding my electric bike home from get off work. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy, and she wasn't paying attention and bumped into the railing.

When she woke up, she was in the Dayong Dynasty on the road. She became Luo Chaoyang, the newly born daughter of the third branch of the Luo family. I heard from her mother that she was almost born with complications during labor.

However, Luo Chaoyang in ancient times should not have been kept. It actually made her a modern unlucky person. She even wondered if God had a change of heart and left all the luck of modern times to ancient times.

My father was the third child in the Luo family. In his early years, he was a real playboy, doing nothing all day long. Later, he met his mother and turned over a new leaf.

My mother is the daughter of the wealthy Yin family in Jeju. Originally, Mrs. Luo did not agree with the marriage. It was because his father insisted on marrying her mother that he reluctantly agreed.

When her parents got married, her mother's wedding dress was so beautiful that it was the envy of others. Because her mother is definitely a rich second-generation. So their family has no shortage of money.

Her uncle often gave her some rare antiques. It's no longer rare after seeing it so many times.

"girl?"

Seeing that she didn't respond, Nanny Lu became a little worried.

"Ah? Oh." After Luo Chaoyan came to her senses, she winked at Fengli.

Fengli smiled and nodded, then walked to Madam Lu's hand and said, "Madam Lu, you must have worked hard on the journey. Let's go. The young lady has made some new tea recently. Let's go and try it."

Having said that, without waiting for Nanny Lu to react, he led the person to the side hall.

Luo Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing Nanny Lu leave.

"Shulan, let's change our clothes quickly." Otherwise, Nanny Lu might hang those accessories on her head again.

Half an hour later, the carriage of the women of the Luo family arrived at the gate of the Su Mansion.

Luo Chaoyan lifted the curtain and looked at the crowded doorway, and couldn't help but click her tongue.

"It seems that the young master of the Su family is very popular. Look, those beautiful women, both plump and slim, can line up in the long street."

Feng Li smiled and said, "I heard that the eldest son of the Su family is exactly twenty years old this year, and he is handsome, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and treats people with kindness and courtesy. All the girls in Kyoto admire him."

"But there is only one Young Master Su. How can we divide it among so many people?" Luo Chaoyan said.

Fengli said, "Not only that, I heard that Master Su invited all his classmates to the Su Mansion today. Think about it, who among his classmates is not a son of a rich family? That's why so many girls came today. I guess they all want to find a good husband."

Shu Lan asked her, "You've only been in Kyoto for a few days, and you know everything so well?"

Fengli puffed out her chest and said, "You underestimated me."

"Recently, the young lady has been craving for the peach cakes at Xiangsulou. When I went to buy some, I often heard the customers there talking about it." When she mentioned Xiangsulou, her eyes lit up. "There are all kinds of gossips there, some of which are more interesting than the storybooks the young lady has read."

Luo Chaoyan and Shu Lan listened to her gossiping with great excitement.

Outside the carriage, Luo Chaoning became a little impatient.

She lifted the car curtain and said in a bad tone: "Luo Chaoyan, are you a turtle? What are you dawdling about? Get down quickly!"

Luo Chaoning didn't like her cousin. Just because she was born a month earlier than her, she had to be shorter than her, and she was not convinced.

In order to be able to stand out in the Su Mansion today, she started preparing a month ago. Her clothes and jewelry were all newly bought from Baochai Tower, and her hair was carefully nourished.

If it's too late and I can't find a good seat, I won't be able to show my face in front of Old Madam Su. This cousin looks so lazy. If you don't want to come, don't come. She also lost a competitor.

But when she saw how her cousin was dressed, she felt that she was thinking too much. The ornaments on her head were the same and her clothes were plain. If it weren't for the lip balm on her lips, one would have thought she was not wearing any makeup.

"Don't the Sanshen family have a lot of money? Why do they let you dress so shabby?" Luo Chaoning said with disdain.

Luo Chaoyan ignored her sarcasm and got off the carriage with two maids.

"You actually ignored me!" Luo Chaoning said angrily.

Zhao and her maid walked up to the two of them. She glared at her daughter and said, "Be more restrained in public."

Seeing Luo Chaoyang dressed simply, she frowned and said, "Ayan, you are really something. You don't even dress up properly for an occasion like this."

The Luo family had few concubines, and therefore few children. The first wife has the eldest son and the youngest daughter. The second wife has two sons, one legitimate and one illegitimate, who are the second and third oldest. The third wife has a daughter who is the fourth oldest.

The family was hoping that the two girls from the Luo family would find a good marriage and help support the family.

Luo Chaoyan bowed and replied, "Aunt is right. Ah Yan is wrong. Be careful next time."

Zhao nodded, "Let's go in."

Luo Chaoning followed Zhao like a proud and majestic peacock.

Fengli angrily pointed at her back and said, "Girl, you should wear the ruby ​​headpiece that your uncle gave you to blind the Fifth Miss. See if she's still proud of herself."

Luo Chaoyan thought of the headdress that weighed as much as two pounds in her hand, and her lips twitched. It was really unnecessary!

"Hehe... Pineapple, don't be angry, don't be angry! It's not worth it."

She poked Pineapple's puffy face and joked, "Pineapple, you are so puffy, just like a frog in the farm."

“Puff!”

Shu Lan nodded and smiled: "It really is!"

"Girl!" Pineapple stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, stop making trouble and let's go in quickly."
