Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Past of the Luo Family

"If you want to be a dragon elephant of the gods, you must first be a sentient being, a horse and a cow. Okay, after this ink is made, leave me a set, don't use the first edition, just reprint. At this time, a voice suddenly said, Zhen Niang was startled, and turned around to see that it was Luo Wenqian.

Luo Wenqian was born in a family of ink makers, so he could naturally see that Zhen Niang's painting was an ink line drawing. And the so-called first and second editions......

Generally, the engraving is engraved, and the first version of ink is the first version. The picture of this version of the ink is clear and realistic, the most collectible, and the reprint, there will always be some wear and tear after the engraving is used, so that the reprinted ink is compared with the first edition, the clarity of the picture and the silk texture will always be a little worse than the first edition, but also in the case of fine products, there are also some collectible values, but compared with the first edition, the preciousness is much worse.

And Luo Wenqian opened his mouth to reprint, but he didn't say that he wanted the first edition, in line with the obvious intention that a gentleman would not take away people's intentions.

"Young Master Luo." Zhen Niang didn't expect Luo Wenqian to appear suddenly, but she was stunned for a moment, and the so-called desire to be a dragon elephant of the gods, first be a sentient being, horses and cows, to explain in the most popular words, that is the same as the hardships of suffering to become a master, and it is also the meaning of her ink line diagram, and then thinking about Luo Wenqian's experience, it can be regarded as a fit of this sentence, no wonder he took a fancy to this set of ink at a glance.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, if Luo Gongzi can take a fancy to my Li family's Mo, that is also the honor of the Li family." ”

Hearing that Zhenniang was still calling Luo Gongzi, Luo Wenqian couldn't help touching his nose: "They are all from their hometown, don't be so polite as Luo Gongzi and Luo Gongzi, you can call me Luo Wenqian, or just call me Luo Jiu." ”

"Luo Jiu? Why does it sound familiar? Zhenniang glanced at Luo Wenqian and muttered something in her mouth.

"At the beginning of that year, when I broke into the Northland, I had to meet a few brothers in life and death. So I sat down in line, and I went nine. It's called Luo Jiu. Luo Wenqian explained, and then looked at the ink line diagram in Zhen Niang's hand. His family is an ink-making family, and he doesn't know how many ink line drawings he has seen in his life, even Luo Wenqian himself is also a master of ink line drawing, but he always feels that Miss Li's ink line drawing is a little novel in terms of brushwork and drawing, but its clarity and realism are better than the ink line drawing method he knows, and he can't help but say: "Miss Li's ink line drawing method is very peculiar?" ”

"Ah, it's sketching." Zhen Niang said casually, but she was still thinking about the name Luo Jiu in her heart, she was really familiar. Suddenly, she thought of Han Xizai's night banquet picture, by the way, Luo Jiu's name, the first time she heard about it, it was because Luo Jiu recognized Zhou Wenju's Han Xizai's night banquet picture, and this seems to be the owner of Yi Housheng Money Village, right?

"Are you the owner of the Yi Housheng Money Bank?" Zhenniang couldn't help but come back to her senses and asked.

"Hmm." Luo Wenqian nodded, all along, he never hid this from Zhenniang. When Zhen Niang and others went to his bank to apply for a mortgage, the reason why he didn't come down to meet him was just because he didn't want to mix something else with pure commercial behavior. And at this time, it is just a kind of honesty.

Zhen Niang saw Luo Wenqian nodding at this time, but she was a little angry: "Yihousheng Qianzhuang is the small shop you said last time?" ”

Zhen Niang at this time. I understand, no wonder Luo Wenqian took out a loan so happily that day, these are all from his hometown. has this local feeling, plus there is a mortgage. So what is the previous little bit of business struggle, Luo Wenqian's refreshing loan is reasonable.

Zhen Niang didn't think that she had any favors before Luo Wenqian. I never thought it was a matter to borrow that little money that day.

"Well, it's not a big store." Luo Wenqian said as a matter of course.

Zhen Niang couldn't help but roll her eyes, this store is big and small, is it based on area? It seems that it should be based on capital.

Luo Wenqian looked at Zhenniang's rolling eyes, and couldn't help but be happy, haha laughed.

Zhen Niang pursed her lips, but said suddenly: "Luo Jiuye, the little girl has something to ask for." ”

"Don't, this word can't be deserved, that's a nickname on the road, Miss Li still call me Luo Jiu, otherwise, I'll turn around and leave." Luo Wenqian said helplessly, this virgin girl is really a little stubborn.

"Okay, Luo Jiu." There is a request for others, and Zhenniang is as good as a stream.

"Virgin girl, if you have something to say, you can just say it." Luo Wenqian said.

"I heard that you have Zhou Wenju's picture of Han Xi's night banquet in your hand, I don't know if you can lend it to Zhenniang." Zhen Niang said.

"You want to make it into a collection of ink?" Luo Wenqian immediately understood Zhen Niang's thoughts, Jijin Mo is just a new ink product, although there are not many on the market, but as a young owner of Luo Mo, Luo Wenqian has no unclear reason.

"Exactly, feasible?" Zhen Niang asked rhetorically.

"No problem, tomorrow, I'll have someone send it to Miss Li." Luo Wenqian said.

“xiexie。” Zhen Niang thanked her, and then asked with some curiosity: "That day, the woman who took this picture to pawn ......" Zhen Niang paused when she said this, in fact, Zhen Niang felt that this woman's behavior was a little unreasonable.

Since such a picture is taken out and pawned, it means that the family is extremely short of money, and it has reached the point of last resort, but later, the woman said ruthlessly that as long as someone recognizes the painting, the painting will be given away for free, which is a bit contradictory.

"Haha, Miss Li is still so transparent, this painting is my family's treasure, and that woman is the lady of my shopkeeper, before, the same behavior was difficult Luo Jiu first, Luo Jiu is just returning the color." Luo Wenqian said with a smile.

On the same day, when he first came to Nanjing, his peers in Huizhou made it difficult for him everywhere, so he set up this game, first slapped his peers in the face, which was also regarded as being rude to him, and at the same time made a name for himself.

"What kind of transparency is this? Everyone saw it afterwards, right? Zhen Niang asked angrily.

"What if you see it, I'm a conspiracy, if one recognizes it that day, wouldn't it be a benefit, there are not many opportunities for this kind of sky to fall, since I can't recognize it, then what's the blame?" Luo Wenqian curled the corners of his mouth and said.

"That's right." Zhenniang nodded. glanced at Luo Wenqian, this guy is not a person who suffers losses and does not fight back.

The two were talking, and at this time, another group of people came over, led by Wang Sifang. When Wang Sifang saw Luo Wenqian, he snorted coldly: "Wenqian, you are determined to get along with my uncle, right?" ”

"Uncle, how dare Wen Qian say this." Luo Wenqian turned out to be a little lazy at this time. His eyes narrowed, and he replied with a cold look.

"How dare you? Then what do you say about lending money to the Han family? "The king said viciously.

"In business. It's easy for nephews to make a living, how can there be a reason not to make money? Luo Wenqian replied. Then he said: "Uncle, go on your own, Wen Qian has taken his leave." Luo Wenqian said, nodded at Zhenniang, and then shook his hand to meet a few men on the other side, and left without looking back.

Wang Quartet's face was bruised.

Zhen Niang was originally a foolish person, so she arched her hand at Wang Sifang at this time, and returned to Han Li's side. On the surface, the clouds were light and light, but I was curious in my heart, but I didn't expect Wang Sifang to be Luo Wenqian's uncle. I don't know what kind of enmity there is between the two nephews.

Here, several ladies, each added a brick to the Buddha bone mound, and went to the Buddha hall to donate sesame oil money, zuihou had a meal, and the blessing meeting was a successful conclusion.

Second Mrs. Xu also got the answer she wanted.

By the afternoon, the song was over.

When Mrs. Xu returned home, she went to see the three brothers of the Xu family and told Han Li what he said.

"That's right. It's a mistake to say that the Chao family is wrong. Han Da stroked his beard and said with a pensive expression.

"It should be like this, it's been a long time, and Han Li has been very scolding me. And they are merchants, where do they really dare to let us lose money, so it is also in line with the way of merchants. Second Mrs. Xu said.

"That being the case. Then it doesn't matter, since the Han family thinks so. Then tomorrow, we will sell a batch of fields at a low price. Push the land price down again, and the day after tomorrow, you will start to buy it, and you don't have to keep your hands. Xu Da clapped his head.

"Sell another batch tomorrow? That will definitely be absorbed by Han Yigui and them, wouldn't that be cheaper for them. Xu San said unwillingly.

"It's okay, cheap they are cheap ourselves, so many fields, the Tian family has hot hands, and we will have to take over when the time comes, and the price is not up to us." Xu Dadao.

"Well, Big Brother is right." On the other hand, Xu Er said supportively.

Two to one, Xu San has nothing to say. Besides, what the eldest brother said was reasonable, so he agreed.

…………

In the evening, Huang was intently looking at the ink line drawing drawn by Zhen Niang in the temple during the day, this girl's ink line drawing really amazed her, and she chatted with the ugly woman without a word.

Although the ugly woman seems to be a subordinate in the family, the Huang family knows that his mother-in-law attaches great importance to the ugly woman, but the ugly woman would rather guard the door than live in the mansion.

Therefore, all along, the Huang family has not regarded the ugly woman as a person.

When it's okay, I often pull the ugly woman to chat, but the ugly woman is not too enthusiastic, and most of the time she is napping when chatting.

Zhen Niang came in with her sleeves up: "Second aunt, it's late, let's see it tomorrow, this oil light is dim, it hurts your eyes." ”

"Uh-huh, haode." Huang took the ink line drawing, and then looked at Zhen Niang with interest.

Zhenniang asked her to look at it a little inexplicably.

"Zhenniang, what do you think of your second cousin?" At this time, Huang asked with a smile.

"Second cousin Han Bai?" Zhen Niang blinked and looked at her second aunt.

"Hmm." Huang is still smiling.

"I don't have any opinions, my second cousin is quite motivated." Zhenniang replied, she has been close to her aunt's house in the past few days, and the two cousins have seen each other, the eldest cousin is a little kinder, and in terms of face, he is also like an uncle, but the second cousin is a very serious person, he doesn't smile much on weekdays, and he nods when he meets.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Niang asked again, her second aunt will never be good to talk about this.

"Well, your eldest aunt has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be her second daughter-in-law." The day before, Han Li revealed such thoughts in front of Huang. Although it was not explicitly stated, Huang understood.

"Ah, didn't the eldest aunt want to find an official lady for her second cousin?" Zhenniang was surprised for a while, but she really didn't expect that the eldest aunt suddenly had such an idea.

"Heh, at this time and that time, your eldest aunt has seen those official families clearly, besides, how can the official lady marry into a merchant family so easily?" Huang said.

"Oh." Zhenniang nodded, and understood, but ......

"My second cousin is not suitable." Zhenniang said bluntly. His face was slightly red. And then there are two souls, but bluntly speaking of this kind of thing. Blushing is always inevitable.

"How?" Huang asked.

"Although the second cousin may not necessarily marry an official girl, the second cousin is a scholar. He can't tolerate me doing business like this. Zhenniang replied.

It's not that the second cousin looks down on her, this is a universal value of literati in this era.

A merchant woman may be a concubine, but she cannot be a wife. If the second brother wants to break through on this road, this universal value must be observed.

Although Zhen Niang didn't meet Han Bai much, Han Bai still had some understanding of Zhen Niang's personality. If you say, in terms of face, the eldest cousin is most like an uncle. So in his bones, the second cousin who is most like his uncle is the same as he works tirelessly, and he identifies a path and breaks through, but at the beginning, his uncle chose the business road, and now the second cousin chooses the official road.

And when my uncle married his eldest aunt, he also had the idea of taking advantage of the situation. It's just that some people cross the river and break the bridge after success. And some keep their word. My uncle kept his word.

She believes that her second cousin is like this in his bones. Therefore, she and her second cousin are by no means suitable, but. For the second cousin to take the official road, Zhenniang is also happy to see it, after all. The Li family has not been able to produce scholars all these years. If the second cousin can succeed, then the Li family will have more or less help behind them.

"Zhenniang's words are good." The ugly woman squinted slightly at this time.

Huang thought about it the same way. The mood is not so good.

"That's right. Second aunt, do you know what the relationship between the Luo family and the Wang family is? Zhen Niang saw that the second aunt was not in a good mood. Then he changed the subject.

"The Luo family and the Wang family? How good haode asks this? The second aunt asked curiously.

Zhen Niang told me about the incident that she met Luo Wenqian in the temple today. On the other hand, the second woman opened her eyes violently, but she was already trapped in the dim light of the oil lamp, and she turned around, and Huang and Zhenniang didn't see it.

"I didn't expect Luo Wenqian to have such an achievement, the Luo family finally has support." Huang sighed and said, the Luo family's disappearance was spread in Huizhou, and most of the rumors were that the Luo family met bandits and asked the bandits to kill, plus the other houses were implicated by Luo Wenlong, and the death of the dead, the distribution of the distribution, in short, the tree fell and scattered.

I didn't expect the young master of the Luo family to get up again so quickly. Huang also sighed with emotion: "I only know that Luo Wenqian's mother is Wang Sifang's sister, and Wang Sifang is in charge of the Wang family's parents who died early." However, Wang Sifang did not agree to Wang's marriage to Luo Wenqian's father, and later, Wang found a clansman to come forward to make a marriage for her, and soon married into the Luo family, after which the Wang family broke off relations with the Wang family. Huang said.

"Then Wang Sifang weishenme does not agree with the Wang family marrying into the Luo family, according to the situation of the Wang and Luo families at that time, the disciples of the Luo family are higher than the Wang family, right?" Zhenniang is strange, the Luo family is the top disciple in Huizhou.

"An uncle of the Wang family had been engaged to the daughter of the Luo family, but unfortunately the day after the engagement, the uncle of the Wang family traveled with someone to the painting boat, fell into the water and drowned, the Wang family thought that the daughter of the Luo family died, and asked the daughter of the Luo family to pay for the burial, and the Luo family thought that the uncle of the Wang family was indecent, and the next day of the engagement was in the painting boat to recruit prostitutes, it was innocent of death. In this way, the two families quarreled, and there was a big fight between the two clans of Wang Luo at that time. It wasn't until one day that the Luo family self-immolated herself in the ink workshop, and the Wang family gave up, so the Wang and Luo families became feuds. Luo said, she didn't know these things, until the Wang family insisted on marrying into the Luo family, these things were dug up again, and they were also spread in Huizhou at that time, and the Huang family heard about them.

"No wonder." Only then did Zhenniang understand the grievances between the two families of King Luo.

At this time, although the ugly woman was napping with her eyes closed, her whole body seemed to be trembling.

"Ugly woman, is it cold? I'll have someone burn a brazier for you. Zhen Niang said, although it is mid-spring, but this night, when there is wind, there is still a little chill, the ugly woman is old after all.
