C24 Good measure
In the past few days, everyone in the manor had been talking about him. When the young master of Luo Family left, only Luo Mingyan remained as the young master. Naturally, the next patriarch was none other than Luo Mingyan.
All sorts of rumors were spread into Luo Mingshi's ears. Luo Mingshi was not happy, but she mocked, "Then wouldn't it be right for Grandma Chen to greet my second brother? There's nothing to say about this sort of thing. " She then ignored her.
First Madame also heard this and only said a few bland words, "I had already expected this. Left or right, I'm also his mother, how could I overturn the heavens?"
When Old Lady Camel heard this, he once again looked at the stomach of the Fourth Concubine beside him and no longer paid attention to it.
It was no wonder that these words were spread more and more under the Luo Family. Even she was starting to get anxious, Second Young Master was already six years old this year, if she did not quickly give birth to her son, when Second Young Master's wings gradually grew, would there still be a place for her and her children?
Gritting her teeth in secret, she hardened her heart and called for Ling Meng. She quietly ordered, "Go and get some of the medicine you talked about last time."
As a third stage imperial court servant, he should be helping the Emperor and share his worries. Now that his master was worried about the affairs of his country, he was worried about how to settle this matter.
There was a knock on the door, causing Luoan'S Time to feel suspicious as to where the gatekeeper had gone to. He thought for a moment before opening the door, only to see his most prized daughter standing outside, looking at him with a smile.
Luoan'S Time was a little surprised, before he could ask her how her daughter came, she said, "My daughter heard that father still hasn't went to bed, it must be because she was annoyed by the court, but my daughter was unable to help, so she could only personally make a bowl of sweet soup for father, it could be considered as soothing for father, it was a great achievement for me."
When Luoan'S Time heard Luo Mingshi's words, she knew that she was worried about herself, and felt relieved. However, after hearing what she had to say, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When Luo Mingshi helped him drink the sweet soup which was neither greasy nor light, and just right in time, she felt a burst of comfort in her heart, and the last bit of irritation was gone.
After abandoning the national affairs, he began to gossip with his daughter and nurture their father-daughter relationship. "Ever since you fell ill, it has been a long time since a zither master has shown up. Have you been playing the zither recently?"
Luo Mingshi had to say that the Luoan'S Time at this time had the appearance of her father from her memories. She spoke in a soft voice and carried a lamp in the night, full of idle chatter.
When she thought back to the past, her eyes became moist. Seeing that Luoan'S Time had already discovered her abnormality, she said in a wronged manner, "The guqin hands hurt so much, Daddy."
Seeing her teary eyes, Luoan'S Time thought her daughter was extremely afraid of her zither skills and thought it was just funny. She then looked at her daughter's still young and tender hands.
Thinking about it, he could not help but feel some pity. He sighed, "Your daughter has to be proficient in one or two things regarding zither, chess, painting, and poetry. If you don't like the zither, then I'll have to invite another female teacher for you in the future."
Luo Mingshi lowered her head, hiding her expression from Luoan'S Time's gaze. Luoan'S Time only heard a soft "En" from her, and knew that she had agreed. Speaking of which, his youngest daughter had always been extremely intelligent. Since childhood, she would often go to the library, where she could stay for a day by herself.
Sometimes I hear her ask herself, "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixirs, a blue sea and a clear night. Daddy, then does Chang'e really live on the moon? " "One flower, one world, one wood, one Bodhi. Father, so we are all people who live in flowers." Every time he heard his daughter's childish words, he would laugh for a while.
Thinking about the interesting part of his daughter's studies since she was young, Luoan'S Time's lips also softened. He knew that her daughter was very knowledgeable, like she studied everything, but had only studied it herself.
He was secretly concerned about finding a teacher for Luo Mingshi.
He then heard his youngest daughter's soft and gentle voice ask from the side, "Daddy, what are you worried about today?"
After Luo Mingshi asked, the Luoan'S Time immediately thought of the imperial court, and what everyone was troubled about, the border invasion, the Huns on horseback were all brave and battle-loving, the Great Zhou Empire was also no match for them, and now, they had lost many elite soldiers after a few large and small battles, although they were not as good as the Huns, but the Great Zhou Empire had many treasures and people.
If they continued fighting, it would not benefit either side, but neither side would be willing to surrender first. The Huns had set up camp less than a mile away from the border and were eyeing the area covetously, no longer attacking but not leaving, so they stayed in a stalemate.
Luoan'S Time was initially unwilling to say more, but when he saw Luo Mingshi's bright and innocent eyes, his heart couldn't help but soften. He thought that this wasn't a national secret, and thus the Emperor decided to add this matter to the list of good strategies ?
Therefore, Luoan'S Time explained the situation to Luo Mingshi in detail, and also emphasized, "The best method is obviously not to lose a single soldier, and also not to damage the dignity of my Great Zhou Empire."
Luo Mingshi thought, this was all because she thought that the Huns would obediently follow her orders, she said, "If the Huns do not fight, they will not leave, but only think of some benefits."
Luoan'S Time sighed, "Of course I know, although my Great Zhou Empire is rich, if I were to tell others about it, I would think that I am afraid of the Huns."
Luo Mingshi blinked her eyes, then suddenly thought of something, and smiled with confidence, only to hear her slowly say: "Daddy, how long did you say this war last?"
Luoan'S Time sighed and replied, "About a year ago."
Luo Mingshi slowly said, "I've read about some customs and habits of nomadic peoples, saying that they yearn for freedom, and are bold and straightforward. Father, you said that they have been camped there for close to a year, do you think they are feeling more aggrieved or not?"
Luoan'S Time thought about it, the Huns were also like what his daughter had said, they were really feeling more uncomfortable, but they had to see who could last longer.
Luo Mingshi said again, "I'm afraid the Huns have wanted to go home for a long time, what they lack now is the last straw to crush the camel to death."
The more Luoan'S Time listened, the more he anticipated the idea that his daughter would tell him. He had a feeling that the answer was about to come out.
Luo Mingshi did not wait for Luoan'S Time to ask further, and said, "Father, have you heard of the story of the four sides."
Luo Mingshi's few simple and gentle words caused Luoan'S Time to be enlightened. He couldn't help but size up his own little girl again and saw that she was yawning sleepily.
Luoan'S Time could not help but laugh, his voice becoming gentler, "If you are tired, quickly go and rest."
