Chapter 16 Listen to my father's family history

After the family banquet, Luo Xiang'er's family of four sat in a carriage and returned home.

On the way, she asked her father about the cultivation of everyone in Luofu. Her father told her, "Although the adults in the mansion have things to do during the day, they will still seize the time to cultivate at night." At present, your grandfather has cultivated to the early stage of spiritual silence at the age of sixty-four, your grandmother has cultivated to the middle stage of fusion at the age of fifty-seven, your uncle has cultivated to the early stage of heart beating at the age of forty, your aunt has cultivated to the middle stage of fusion at the age of thirty-six, I have cultivated to the late stage of fusion at the age of thirty-one, and your mother has cultivated to the late stage of fusion at the age of thirty. Your hall brother has cultivated to the early stage of enlightenment, and the others have not yet built a foundation. ”

Father remembered what happened at the family banquet before, and simply talked about the family history:

Your grandfather's name was Luo Ming, his parents died when he was young, and he relied on a small inheritance to support him until he graduated from the Enlightenment School, and then he worked for others to earn a living. Your grandmother's family was in the business of a small inn, and your grandfather was so young that many families did not hire him, and when the mountains were at the end of his life, your grandmother's father took him in with pity. Your grandfather was a brilliant and business-minded man who seized an opportunity to start his own small business when he was only sixteen years old. After several years of development, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are his pawnshops and auction houses in several major states and cities in Qingzhou, which can be regarded as young and promising.

There was a steady stream of people asking for marriage, and one day, your grandmother's father came to the door to propose marriage on behalf of his youngest daughter. Your grandfather learned about your grandmother herself, and after consideration consented to the affair. Your grandfather saw a lot of chaos in the back house of the family, so he never took a concubine, and set a family rule, the male of the family is only allowed to marry one wife, and if he has no children at forty, he can take a concubine.

Because your grandmother is from a small family, her opinions and abilities are average, but she takes her husband as the sky, although she is beautiful but content with family affairs, her heart is full of family, and there is nothing bad about it, she is very happy. Your aunt is a relative of your grandmother's brother's family, so the relationship between them is relatively close.

Your eldest uncle is the second, there is the eldest sister, Xiao Yi, the third son of the first family of Xuanzhou State, who is married to the third son of the first family of Xuanzhou State, because it is not easy to return home because of the long distance, so he usually exchanges letters.

Your uncle's name is Luo Tianxing. As the eldest son, he is mature and stable, and he takes good care of the pawnshop at home. He loves his younger siblings and has always cared for my father. Because he is nine years older than me, and my father is busy with business, my eldest brother has been taking care of and supervising me since I was a child. Later, when I saw that I had some talent in cooking, he suggested to my father that he open a restaurant. It can be said that the eldest brother is like a father.

Your aunt's family runs a large hotel, and there are many branches across the country, which is very rich. She is the eldest daughter, and she is inevitably a little arrogant, but she is very good to your uncle and children. Later, when your mother got married, your mother's family background, appearance, and talents were all higher than hers, and she was a little psychologically unbalanced, and often said some sour things. But your mother and I don't care about your uncle's face for the sake of her.

I also have two older sisters above, one is married to Yin Lin, the second son of a wealthy merchant in Lizhou Prefecture, which borders Qingzhou and Chizhou, and the family is engaged in the business of cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, and can save relatives once every three years. The other is married to Xu Changfa, the eldest son of a large landowner on the outskirts of Qingzhou, and will come to see his parents every once in a while.

Luo Xiang'er listened to the story all the way, and on the way to her yard after arriving at the house, she was still thinking: a small family that is emerging, simple and clean, with a shrewd grandfather and uncle at the helm, and occasional waves will not affect the overall situation. In this way, it is quite suitable for me as a child to cultivate here.

Yikes! Almost forgetting her business, she hurriedly stopped her parents who wanted to go back to her room: "Can you take up a little time?" Teach me the cultivation techniques before building the foundation. ”
