When the girl's mood finally stabilizes, Luo Zhan leads Tang ran to the second floor of the Tang family's main house along the Z-shaped wooden stairs.
Turning around the rest platform between the first floor and the second floor, Luo zhangang was about to step up the first step, but when he saw two people standing in the corridor on the second floor above the dozen steps, he stopped.
After two or three seconds, Luo looked up and did not understand
“……”
Hearing this address face-to-face, the eyes of Mr. Luo, standing in the corridor on the second floor, flickered with complex emotions.
But under his eyelids, the always rebellious little grandson should get used to being natural and take back his eyes directly instead of looking at him --
"it's nothing. I've run into people." Luo Zhan didn't care to finish saying, "let's go."
He wanted to lead the little girl up, but Tang ran grabbed the corner of his clothes. The little girl's face showed obvious worry and panic.
This time, it's Luo Zhan's turn to be surprised. Tang ranmu can't look at him. He's not familiar with him. There's no reason to be aware of it.
He asked patiently in a low voice, "why don't you go?"
Tang ran hesitates for a few seconds and drags Luo Zhan's cuffs and corners in his direction. Luo Zhan understands, bows down and does not forget to block the sight from the second floor for the little girl.
Then he heard the little girl clinging to his ear and saying carefully and anxiously, "I didn't hear the footsteps just now, so they must have come earlier than us. Have they heard what we said?"
Luo Zhan raised his eyes and looked to the second floor. Looking at Mr. Luo and his housekeeper Lin Yi for a few seconds, he fell back to his eyes and nodded, "you should hear me."
"What about that?" The little girl was more worried.
Luo Zhan asked, "are you afraid they will go to the old lady of the Tang family to sue you?"
Tang ran hesitated for a few seconds and said honestly, "grandma won't care about me. At most, she told me to stay in the side house and not to come out. I'm afraid she will tell grandfather Luo. Will grandfather Luo teach you... "
The little girl's concern and concern for him were expressed in his words. Luo Zhan could not help but pick up the corners of his mouth.
Among the flowers and means that young master is good at, he is never too lazy to use it. However, when he came to Tang ran, he didn't need to practice. He was also very good at using it --
"the old man's bad temper is light. At home, he would look for crutches to hit me every few days
Tang ran hesitated and didn't believe it. "But everyone says that grandfather Luo is very good to you."
Luo Zhan sneered: "I didn't know that I came to the Tang family at the beginning today. In order to force me to come, he found a team of grappling professionals to tie me downstairs."
"Ah?" The little girl was in a hurry, "then, what should I do, or I'll explain to Grandpa Luo..."
"It's OK."
Luo Zhan didn't give up worrying about the little girl. He laughed happily and comforted him, "I know the people I hear. It's the Luos who come with me. They won't go to the old lady of your house. "
Tang ran was relieved.
After walking up several stairs, Tang ran thinks of something, turns her head and whispers, "then they won't complain to Luo?"
Luo Zhan was looking at the old man who was obviously not good at it and laughed lazily: "No
Tang ran was relieved. "You know them very well, don't you?"
"Well." Luo Zhan casually added, "the two people in charge of the Luo family --" he stopped and thought, "uncle."
All of a sudden, he lost a generation of old men to his grandson
The housekeeper didn't care about it and stood there with a smile.
In those two beams of sight, Luo Zhan still doesn't think he wants to go his own way. He holds the little girl up to the corridor on the second floor.
At this time stop, from the old man has less than 20 cm distance.
It's about that the old man's momentum is really heavy. If the little girl beside Luo Zhan is aware of it, she anxiously clenches Luo Zhan's cuff and corner.
Luo Zhan's step slowed down: "the temperature and humidity outside this evening are very comfortable. Let me accompany you to the terrace for a walk."
Tang ran hesitated: "Luo grandfather, are they still waiting?"
"They have something to do. They went downstairs before, and they should not be back now. I'll send you up to say hello when they come back
“…… Good. "
Looking at the two figures, one high and one low, walk to the end of the corridor, and then disappear in the corner. In front of the stairs, Mr. Luo sighed slowly after a long silence.
He asked, "Lin Yi, what do you think?"
Housekeeper Lin had long guessed that he could not escape. At this time, he was not surprised. After a few seconds of deliberation, he said with a gentle smile: "I'll take a look at it. It's just that I haven't seen the young master's appearance for so many years. It's really novel."
"I haven't seen it. Don't say you haven't seen it. I haven't seen my grandfather either." The old man shook his head. "I should have guessed at the beginning that if this little girl did not have such influence on him, he would not have changed his character after that year's events."The housekeeper tentatively said, "do you think the young master looks good, sir?"
The old man was silent for a long time. He snorted and said reluctantly It's a bit awkward, but it's not bad overall. "
The housekeeper laughed, "young master, a lot of character is up to you."
“……”
The old man turned his head and frowned, but he didn't say anything.
The housekeeper waited for a while. Seeing that the old man never spoke, he said, "I think the young master can talk to the little girl according to his temperament. It's really like a changed person. As expected, he can't stand such a character when he meets someone he likes."
"Like it?" The old man was really stimulated by the most prominent sharp words in the gentle message. He snorted, "if you say that to a girl of sixteen or seventeen, he is not afraid to be called a rascal. That is to say, we heard that if someone else had changed, I'm afraid we would have to stab his spine
"Sixteen or seventeen, isn't it the legal age to marry in a few years?" The housekeeper laughed with a good temper.
“……”
The word "marriage" made the old man's face sink.
But at least there is no direct anger, indicating that there is a lot of room.
The housekeeper thought for a few seconds and asked, "are you worried that the old lady of the Tang family doesn't agree?"
"It's not a big question whether she agrees or not," Luo said with a frown. "But even if she agrees, she won't recognize Tang Ran's identity. At that time, everyone will realize that the future wife of our Luo family's successor is an illegitimate daughter of the Tang family. "
Lin housekeeper's smile also faded, but said: "young master will not care about this."
"Well, of course he doesn't care. What do they young people care about? At the end of the day, I was still young. I only thought that with my own ability and capital, I could make people shut up, but I didn't know how to write the four words of awe. They don't think about it. Since ancient times, the emperor Laozi has been in charge of the world's life and death, but they still can't block the people's mouths. They teach the truth that "the mouth of defending the people is better than preventing Sichuan." how many of them really care about it
Housekeeper Lin said with a wry smile, "but I'm afraid you can't say anything about the young master's temperament. You can't have him tied up as he is today
After a long silence, Luo suddenly asked, "is there any news about the daughter of the Tang family who married abroad in recent years?"
Lin Yi was stunned: "do you want to pass her name of Tang Ran's life experience?"
The old man did not speak and gave him a serious look.
Housekeeper Lin quickly lowered his head and replied, "I haven't heard of it. Since Tang Shiyu fell out with the Tang family that year and married abroad, little news came back. It is said that she has never contacted the Tang family. "
The old man asked again, "which family did she marry?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "I don't know. The old lady of the Tang family arranged for her, but she didn't mean to marry someone else? "
The old man was reminded of that younger generation and shook his head in a bit of headache: "speaking of it, Tang Ran's character is so different from her mother."
Lin Yi also laughed bitterly: "no, at the beginning, the reputation of the young lady of the Tang family was so famous that many aristocratic families were afraid of it If it were not for her strong character, the old lady had no curse to recite, and I'm afraid she would not have used the cruel means of taking the stillbirth to deceive her own daughter
After hearing this, the old man snorted with disapproval: "the way she used is hard, but her daughter should not carry the pot for her."
Lin Yi nodded: "the old man said yes."
"Do you think that with Tang Shiyu's temper, she will really get married so badly?"
Lin Yi hesitated and said frankly: "in fact, some people said that Tang Shiyu wanted to get rid of her mother's control, so that she could find a reason to get married overseas - but there has been no movement for these years, and I dare not say for sure."
"So," said Luo, meditating for a moment, "you can find someone to follow the news that she married and went abroad, check the affairs of her husband's family, and then follow and touch her present situation."
Lin Yi's eyes were surprised: "old man, are you really ready to correct the reputation of Tang ran?"
The old man was silent for a few seconds and snorted: "I was forced to do something by that stinky boy. I have to make preparations, or I will let him drag Luo's family into the ditch for me in the end?"
Housekeeper Lin laughed: "yes, yes, your reasons are all right."
The old man gave him a cold look: "what is reason?"
Housekeeper Lin, with a gentle smile, stopped talking.
"Well, let's go upstairs, too. You didn't listen to that stinky boy before he left to remind me - I'm afraid I can't catch up with him, and let the little girl who came out very hard for him to come out empty again. "
The old man sneered and complained.
"After raising him for so many years, he is not as good to me as to that little girl. They also say that they are white eyed wolves. "
Lin Yi followed up with a smile, and finally asked, "since you want to check Tang Shiyu, do you want to check the unmarried and pregnant men of Tang ShiyuThe old man stepped upstairs and asked, "is it her boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"From a poor family?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "it seems that There is really no information. When you asked me to find out the origin of the little girl and wanted to help her find her family, I didn't even find out what her father's name was. It's estimated that all traces were erased by the Tang family. "
"Well, the old lady is very hard on her own daughter, let alone an outsider who has delayed her marriage plan."
Lin Yi also sighed: "at that time, I only heard about the school where they were studying. Maybe in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Tang family, their love is underground, and few people know it. Only Tang Shiyu's roommate vaguely heard from her that she was a poor student from an orphan's family who lived with grants and scholarships. The results should be good, but the specific information has not been disclosed. "
The old man was silent for a moment. He walked upstairs and asked in a low voice, "then where did the man go?"
Lin Yi: "I don't know. It's like the world evaporated." Lin Yi hesitated, and his voice dropped to the lowest, "I doubted at that time that it would not be..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
The old man interrupted him in a bad way.
"Yes." Housekeeper Lin chuckled bitterly, "but even if nothing happened, I'm afraid that a poor student with no background will come to a bad end for such a huge thing as the Tang family."
"Yes."
The old man sighed.
"At least there won't be a home for him. I guess I've drifted to a corner of a small country I don't know. "
Lin Yi: do you still check him out
The old man said, "No. There are such poor boys all over the world. If you find out, you can't stir the storm. Let's follow the line of Tang Shiyu and feel the situation. "
"Yes, sir."
