Chapter 194 Luo Mingdu is in Distress

On this day, Luo Tian received two young ladies at home, and was playing cards with the maid woman who came with her in the entertainment room next door, and told them that her eldest sister and brother-in-law should come in a few days. At that time, the entertainment room tea party in her family was estimated to be suspended for a few months, waiting for her eldest brother-in-law to finish the Chunwei exam.

Miss Hu had nothing to do at home in the past few days, and she didn't suffer any grievances, but her little maid wanted to play checkers very much, so she arranged for her to come to Luo's house to play.It just so happened that Miss Hu was wearing a newly made lake green thin jacket today. She didn't want to get her heart dirty, so she didn't go to hit the sandbags. Instead, she played checkers with Luo Tiandu. Hearing what Luo Tiandu said, she just Said: "How old is your brother-in-law this year, and he is about to participate in the ceremony."

This question really caught Luo Tian's attention. To be honest, she didn't know how old Qi Jin was this year, but she only vaguely remembered that he seemed to be a year or two older than Luo Ming. It's very clear that this year should be twenty-two."

"Oh." Mrs. Hu asked, she was a foreigner, so she didn't want to discuss too much, she just said: "Your elder sister has come to Shangjing, I will post it to you at the moment, and you bring her to my house to play."

This Miss Hu came to Luo's house a lot, and she really developed some friendship with Luo Tian. At this time when Luo Baisu was being treated coldly by the household department, Miss Hu could still say this, Even though both parties knew in their hearts that this was just a polite remark, Luo Tian still appreciated her affection very much, so he smiled and said: "My eldest sister will stay at least until the early summer of next year, it's still a long time, there are many opportunities to bother you .”

Miss Hu raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, then turned her mind to the chessboard.

Today they were born by four people, Luo Tiandu Hu Xiaoniang was in the opposite corner, and the two maids of Luo's family each occupied one side, which was also in the opposite corner.On the chessboard, three red beads have already jumped to the opposite side, and there is also a green bead in the corner on Luo Tiandu's side, the middle of the chessboard is blocked, no one can move, Luo Tiandu turned back One bead was withdrawn, and at least there was an empty space to come out.

She is the master, and she has been playing checkers since she was a child. Naturally, she is very proficient at playing checkers. The two maids often come to Luo's house. When Miss Hu is playing sandbags, they follow Luo Tian to play this game. Even though she was unfamiliar, Miss Hu's technique was the worst. Luo Tian even retreated a piece, and everyone else followed suit. Only Miss Hu jumped to the middle when she saw that there was an empty space on the chessboard.

Luo Tian didn't even get annoyed, he went down slowly, and he could always move the jumpers back to the nest.

Miss Hu took advantage, she was happy, and she said to Luo Tiandu: "Xiao Du, you play this checkers. It's very interesting. It's very different from the one we used to play."

What Luo Tiandu is most afraid of is that others will ask the bottom line like this. She really doesn't know the origin of checkers, so she can only vaguely say: "I figured it out by myself. My brain is not bright, so I really can't play Reversi."

Miss Hu laughed straight after hearing this, and then she probably felt that it was not good to make fun of others like this, so she finally stopped, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Xiaodu, I'm not kidding you, I can't play Go either, I used to My father also invited my master to teach me this, but within a month, my master was so angry that I flicked my sleeves and never came back."

Luo Tian didn't care about this, and waved his hands generously: "There's nothing worth apologizing for, I just don't know how to play Reversi, and I can't even learn it." Not only her, but Luo Baisu is also not very good at it. Play Go, come from the countryside, where there is time and conditions to learn this.

Miss Luo heard her speak frankly, and nodded frequently: "That's right, thanks to my father and my second uncle setting up a chessboard, it lasted all afternoon, and we still couldn't tell the winner."

The two were chatting and laughing, and when they were talking lively, they heard a rush of footsteps outside, Xiang Lan squeezed a letter in his hand, and came in as soon as he lifted the curtain.

Regardless of the presence of guests, Xiang Lan walked up to Luo Tiandu in a panic, and said anxiously, "Little lady, it's not good, something happened!"

"There are guests here, why are you shouting in a panic? What's the matter? Who's the matter?" Luo Tian frowned. Xiang Lan was always stable, and because the master he served in the past had a high status, Xiang Lan is also very disciplined. If there is no important matter, Xiang Lan will never rush in to interrupt her when there are outsiders.

After all, Xiang Lan came from a rich family, and after being drank a few words by Luo Tian, ​​she regained consciousness, looked around, and before she could elaborate, she saw that Miss Hu got up and said goodbye: "Hey, it's getting late , we have been out for a long time, it is time to go back, Xiaodu, I will invite you to my house to play some other day."

Luo Tiandu also stood up, agreed, and helped Miss Hu put on the veil, helped her into the carriage, and sent them out, then turned around and said to Xiang Lan: " What happened? It made you panic like that."

Xiang Lan dragged her to a corner, and after making sure that Mrs. Fang couldn't hear her in the room, she lowered her voice and said, "A little general from the Xiaoqi Battalion came to deliver a letter just now, saying that something happened to Ah Sheng."

Luo Tian was heartbroken, her first reaction was that Cheng Sheng had met a bandit, something happened to Cheng Sheng, what about her elder sister?Is her eldest sister okay?

Xiang Lan didn't know what was going on, so she handed her the letter in her hand: "The little general didn't explain it very carefully, little lady, let's read what the letter says first."

Luo Tiandu tore open the letter, only glanced at it twice, and his expression changed drastically.

The letter was written by Qi Jin, saying that when they left Chunning City, they encountered robbers. Fortunately, they happened to meet Cheng Sheng, and they were able to escape from death. However, in the chaos, Luo Ming was injured by the robbers. Now They are recuperating in Chunning City, and they need Luo Baisu to send someone to pick them up.

She can recognize Qi Jin's handwriting, and the writing is very strong, but today's letter is scribbled, which shows that the person who wrote the letter must have been in a panic at the time.

Xiang Lan was at the side, watching Luo Tian's face change, thinking that something serious happened to Cheng Sheng, he became more and more anxious: "Little lady, what did the letter say, how is Ah Sheng?"

Luo Tiandu took the letter and asked Xiang Lan, "Where is the person who delivered the letter?"

Xiang Lan was standing next to her. At this moment, she felt that although Luo Tiandu's attitude was very calm, his body was trembling slightly, so he hurriedly supported her and said, "People are still sitting outside, I don't know if there is any No matter how serious it is, I came to look for you first, and didn't go to the lady of the host family."

Luo Tian collected himself, pushed her away, and walked out to the courtyard.

Sure enough, there was a young general sitting in the flower hall. The armor on his body was different from that of the patrol officer Shenwuwei. It was probably the chain mail of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

"This general, what is going on with Brother Cheng Sheng?"

The young general sat for a long time, but when he saw a young girl coming out, he looked a little embarrassed, stood up hurriedly, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Cheng was on a business trip to Chunning City, but when he was halfway, it happened to be When bandits robbed passers-by, Brother Cheng was stabbed three times in order to save him, and now he is being raised in Chunning City, and he specially sent me to deliver a letter to your residence."

"Apart from brother Cheng Sheng, who else is injured?" Luo Tiandu asked again.

The young general thought for a while, and said: "It seems that a female family member is also injured. It is said that it is the young wife of that family, and they are being raised together in the city." Seeing Luo Tian's worried look, he comforted him, " Although Brother Cheng was seriously injured, but he was treated in time, so there was no serious problem. But the female family member was more seriously injured, and I heard that the blood flowed all over the place! Oh, little lady, I was not there at the time, what is it? I don't know what's going on. I brought the letter with me, and I have to go back to the camp, little lady, so I'll take my leave first."

Just as he was talking, Luo Baisu got the news and came back in a hurry, Cheng Qing followed behind, his eyes were red.

"Xiaodu, what's going on with Cheng Sheng?" Luo Baisu asked her anxiously, "Where's your sister? Is your sister okay?"

Although Cheng Qing didn't speak, the expression on his face was also very anxious, it was just because Luo Baisu had already asked, so he had no choice but to stand aside.

Luo Tiandu stuffed the letter into Luo Baisu's hand and said, "You can read it for yourself."

Luo Baisu read it a few times, slapped the table, and cursed: "What a bastard! What's the purpose of Chunning's chief? Such a thing happened to his subordinates, and he didn't do anything!"

Cheng Qing saw that the expressions of Luo Baisu's father and daughter were not quite right, and thought what happened to Cheng Sheng, and couldn't help it any longer, and asked with trembling lips, "Master, my lady, is it Ah Sheng..."

Before he could finish asking, Xiang Lan secretly tugged on his sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.

When Cheng Qing heard that his brother was injured, how could he bear it? When Xiang Lan teased him like this, his temper also came up: "Don't talk about me, the one who hurt is my own brother! I have to ask clearly."

Luo Tian even glanced at him, and said dumbly: "Brother Cheng Sheng is fine, it's my sister who is busy now."

Cheng Qing was stunned, he really didn't expect what happened to Luo Mingdu: "What's the matter, big lady?"

Luo Tiandu shook his head: "I don't know either." She turned around and said to Luo Baisu, "Father, I'll just pack up and leave for Chunning City."

Luo Baisu waved his hand, and said: "You are a girl, how can you get there, take care of your mother at home, Cheng Qing and I will go over and have a look, and bring your sister over by the way." I'm worried, if something happens to this little one, he won't be able to bear it.

Luo Tiandu's attitude was very firm: "Father, whether you agree or not, I'm going. If you don't agree, I will find a way to sneak there."

Luo Baisu was so angry that he said serious things to Luo Tian for the first time: "Nonsense! Something happened to your elder sister, if something happened to you, how would you let your mother live?"

Luo Tiandu looked at him straightly and said: "It will take more than 20 to [-] days to go back and forth to Chunning City. If the elder sister and Brother Cheng Sheng are seriously injured and cannot move, they will have to stay in Chunning City for a while longer. Day, dad, how can you ask so much leave from the Yamen, and what should you say if mother asks?"
