【0485 Luo's Mansion and Cheng Zongyou】
When Li Chengnei heard this, he nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, your eldest brother and I are not a bad person, I still know this truth, I dare not offend anyone, I can get the monthly silver every month, and now it is not only the monthly silver, I have some additional dividends, which are dozens of times more than my monthly silver, and your eldest brother is no longer as embarrassed as he was at the beginning." ”
Li Chengnei said, a little proud, and laughed.
Wei Bao smiled indifferently, knowing that Li Chengnei is now mixed with Luo Yangxing, Luo Yangxing is a person who is very good at making contacts, although his father has stepped down, but Luo Yangxing can still be stable in Jinyi Weiming.
Moreover, as far as Wei Bao knows, in the original history, as soon as Wei Zhongxian fell, the people under Wei Zhongxian were uprooted by the Donglin Party! Luo Yangxing was able to quickly cling to the powerful people behind, and he had been in power in Jinyi Wei until the Ming Dynasty went out of business!
In Wei Bao's view, people like Luo Yangxing are simply a model in the workplace! This also shows in disguise that Luo Yangxing's father Luo Sigong is also a very powerful character, how many people who have been ousted from power are not suspicious and liquidated? can actually not affect his son, and may even secretly support his son, this is something that only a very capable person can do!
The group soon arrived at Locke's house.
Luo Yangxing was waiting for Wei Bao to come, so as soon as he received the news from the people in the house, he immediately greeted him out of the gate in person.
"Brother Wei, I miss my brother!" Luo Yangxing's chubby face was full of smiles, even more affectionate than Li Chengnei to Wei Bao.
Wei Bao looks at Luo Yang even more, under the general appearance of Luo Yang Maitreya Buddha, there is a strong hard skill, which Wei Bao has seen with his own eyes, a person has a body of ability, and he can make the chef of the hotel want to die, this is really a model of Taoguang Yanghui!
"Brother Luo, I miss you too!" Wei Bao smiled sincerely. Although he can't be as 'hypocritical' as Luo Yangxing, President Wei's superficial skills are not bad.
"Hahahaha, happy." Luo Yangxing took a few steps down the steps and hugged Wei Bao.
Wei Bao also hugged Luo Yangxing.
If you don't know, you think the two of them are engaged in glass.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed, but they almost didn't say hello.
Li Chengnei smiled on the side: "Xiaobao, look at how good Lord Luo is to you?" The two of us are together, and we have to mention you several times a day, I really hope that you will come to Jingshi, and we can be together all day long. ”
It was rare for Li Chengne's wife to see Li Chengnei so happy, and she also smiled.
Li Chengne's two sons hurriedly came up to meet Luo Yangxing.
Li Leshui and Li Letu bowed together and said, "Hello Lord Luo." ”
"I should call him uncle." Luo Yangxing laughed: "Good, good, very well-behaved!" ”
Compared with his two younger brothers who have studied in Weijiazhuang for half a year, Li Leshan looks a little rustic, and he can't get on the stage, but Li Chengnei's wife dragged it a few times before he came over to greet Luo Yangxing.
Luo Yangxing happily took out a few large ingots of silver and gave them to Li Chengne's three sons, "Take it to buy what you like, it's all grown so big?" That's good. ”
"Lan Lan is the same year as Paradise, and she is twelve years old this year, and she is also a big girl." Li Chengnei smiled and said, "Just take this opportunity to let the children meet." ”
"Our Lan Lan is a year younger than your home, you remember wrong." Luo Yangxing smiled: "She is only eleven years old this year, she can't do it, she is not as sensible as your three sons, and she is spoiled by my father." ”
"Add another boy, a girl is too lonely." Li Chengnei said with a smile.
After Li Chengnei finished speaking, Li Chengnei's wife immediately pulled Li Chengnei's clothes, disgusted that her husband talked too much!
Although Luo Yangxing is very good at being a person and eats very well outside, he is very affectionate with his wife.
Although Li Chengnei's wife doesn't know why Luo Yangxing only has one girl and does not regenerate, it is estimated that there must be a reason for others, where is there a husband like this, who will say such things as letting people add a kid to the family at every turn? What if someone has a hidden disease?
Luo Yangxing has no hidden disease, and his wife does not have either, however, because he is too affectionate, Luo Yangxing has not taken a concubine, his wife called him a concubine, Luo Yangxing refused, and then Luo's wife has never been able to give birth since she gave birth to a girl, and it is useless to see a lot of Langzhong.
Now that the husband and wife are in their thirties, the idea of having another one is much weaker.
Luo Yangxing saw what Li Chengnei's wife meant, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't care, Brother Chengnei speaks like this, we are all used to it." I don't care about a girl, and a girl hurts a lot. ”
Li Chengnei's wife hurriedly said: "That's right, it's all my mother's heart, it doesn't matter if he's a boy or a girl, just like it." ”
Li Chengnei also reacted, and hurriedly followed: "Yes, yes, there are too many boys, and it's not good, it's annoying one by one!" ”
Burst.
Wei Bao was almost choked by Li Chengnei's words, secretly wondering that Li Chengnei really can't speak, he really can't be an official, and he is not as good as his daughter-in-law's eyesight, no wonder as a relative of the emperor, he couldn't even support his family when he was excluded, can you speak? You gave birth to three sons, and you still say that someone gave birth to a daughter, and this era is very patriarchal, what do you think in people's hearts?
Li Chengnei's wife also stepped on Li Chengnee's foot angrily.
Li Chengnei was a little unhappy: "You look at the point, step on me!" ”
Luo Yangxing no longer took Li Chengne's words, and asked Lawei Bao to enter with a smile: "Don't stand here, the wine and food are ready, just wait for Xiaobao to come, this trip must be in the capital for a few more days!" ”
Wei Bao smiled and nodded.
Luo Yangxing suddenly saw Wu Xuexia and blinked his eyes: "This is the eldest lady of the Wu family who I recognize, and the name of beauty is unbeatable!" ”
Wu Xuexia's face flushed, and she said, "I've seen Lord Luo." ”
"How is this good? This guest is honorable! I didn't expect you to come with Xiaobao, Li Chengnei didn't mention it before! It's rude! I should have let my wife come out with me. Luo Yangxing said with a smile.
"Brother Luo, come with me, it's not enough." Wei Bao smiled and laughed at Luo Yang.
Luo Yangxing smiled: "Xiaobao, you naturally don't have as much face as Miss Wu." You two are? You tell me about it. ”
"Good friends." Wei Bao blinked.
Luo Yangxing didn't know what it meant, and secretly thought, it wouldn't be Miss Wu who was abducted by Wei Bao and eloped with him, right? Otherwise, I won't be introduced as a good friend, and I didn't get married?
In these days, it is very rare for girls to go out with men to meet people without getting married.
Wu Xuexia also thought of this layer, her face was red, but she was not cowardly, she was still generous, everyone was beautiful, and she had the momentum of nothingness, so that no one dared to despise the eldest lady of the Wu family.
Luo Yangxing is a master who is very good at observing words and feelings, no matter whether his guess is right or not, he won't ask anymore anyway, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please come in." Butler, fire fire, 500 shots! A distinguished guest has arrived today! ”
A 500-shot cannon battle, that's a very high specification, second only to a 1,000-shot cannon battle!
Generally, the red wedding event, or the old man's 60th birthday, 70th birthday, 80th birthday, or the family has a jinshi, can set off 1,000 cannons, and in other cases, 500 cannons are already the same level of joy as the noble son.
Wei Bao couldn't help but say, "Brother Luo, it's too grand, right?" Do you want to fire artillery? ”
"Yes, Xiaobao, you don't know, I treat you as a brother, how can my brother not be grand when he comes to the door for the first time? My father has long wanted to meet you, a talented man from Liaoning! Luo Yangxing said with a smile on his face.
Wei Bao saw that Luo Yangxing was so enthusiastic, and he couldn't say anything, secretly wondering if this brother was really good at being a man! It was as if I was really close to him.
In fact, Luo Yangxing's family has to fire 500 cannons several times a year. There is a person who Luo Yangxing thinks is worth befriending, and it is basically this pomp.
Crackling, crackling!
As soon as the firecrackers go off, the atmosphere comes out.
There were not many people in Luo's Mansion, only twenty or thirty people, and they all came out to line up to welcome them.
Wei Bao and his entourage walked inside from the outer courtyard under the guidance of Luo Yangxing.
When they arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, even Luo Yang's daughter-in-law, Luo Lan, and Luo's father, all came out to greet them.
Luo Yang's father is Luo Sigong, in the forty-first year of Wanli, the left governor of Jinyi Wei Wang Zhizhen was dismissed, Luo Sigong commanded the affairs, and the secretary was in charge of Jinyiwei, and began to become the chief officer of Jinyiwei. Therefore, Luo Sigong is nominally the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but in fact, he has never actually obtained this kind of title, so Luo Sigong is no longer in the yamen, which is equivalent to having given power to Tian Ergeng, so he has not been liquidated by Wei Zhongxian's henchmen.
Luo Sigong is old, the crane has a red face, looks energetic, and is in good health.
Beside Luo Sigong, there is an old man as old as Luo Sigong, even older, who is also red-haired and energetic.
Wei Bao practiced martial arts for a while, although the level is the level of a three-legged cat, but it is already higher than the level of ordinary people who have not practiced kung fu, and his knowledge has increased a lot.
Wei Bao also knows how to be polite, for the first time to see a person of Luo Sigong's level, he is so old, he knelt down on one knee when he went up, and touched the gift box with 5,000 silver and silver tickets that had been prepared for a long time: "How fortunate are the younger generations to be able to see the famous old man Luo with their own eyes." ”
Wei Bao was very smart and didn't call Luo Sigong's official title, because he didn't know what to call him. It was called according to the etiquette of intercourse with Luo's sexual friends.
Luo Sigong hurriedly went to help each other in person, and said with a smile: "Wei Gongzi, please get up, I have heard my family talk about Wei Gongzi for a long time, and I am very happy to see a young talent today." ”
Wei Bao was helped up by Luo Sigong, thanked him again, and met Luo's family.
"This is my father's friend, and Uncle Cheng, who taught me martial arts! Jiangnan martial arts everyone! The world is Shaolin authentic! Luo Yangxing introduced the old man around Luo Sigong to Wei Bao.
Wei Bao hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Seeing Grandmaster Cheng, if there is disrespect, Grandmaster Wanwang Cheng forgive me." ”
Cheng Zongyou, Xiuning County, Huizhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, was mistakenly reported as a native of Xindu, Sichuan, and was called Xindu County in ancient times because of the ancient Huizhou Mansion. In fact, it is from Anhui.
He is a word rush. The teenager traveled far away, visited the teacher to seek art, and practiced hard in the Shaolin Temple for more than ten years. In terms of knives, guns, sticks, and crossbows, they all have high attainments, especially the stick method. Its stick method is obtained from the Shaolin monk Hong Ji, and the knife method is taught by Liu Yunfeng, a native of Zhejiang, and the true transmission of the sword. Marksmanship was taught by Liu Guangdu in Henan, and the eight mother guns and Liuhe guns were passed on.
He got a "bronze machine" when he was in Shouchun, and after reform, he created a new type of crossbow machine with strong effect and easy to use. He once proposed the development direction of martial arts that pays both offensive and defensive techniques and routine drills. He is the author of three volumes of "Shaolin Stick Method Interpretation", one volume of "Kicking Zhang Heart Method", one volume of "Selected Spear Method", and one volume of "Selected Single Knife Method". The above six collections were compiled into "Cultivation Surplus Techniques", and 8 volumes of "Shooting History" were written. Cheng Zongyou's training advocated equal emphasis on courage, will, and martial arts, and his "Cultivation and Surplus Techniques" was once hailed as one of the important documents for studying the Ming Dynasty and inheriting ancient martial arts techniques after Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline".
Therefore, this old gentleman is not only a martial arts master, but also a weapons expert.
Cheng Zongyou and Luo Sigong are friends, not only powerful figures, but also powerful figures recorded in the history of Chinese martial arts!
Martial arts together, passed down from generation to generation, the more it is passed on, the more it is passed on, the more it is sparse, every powerful boxer loves to hide a few hands, hide and hide, in modern times, martial arts is becoming more and more declining, sometimes compared with Western boxing or what pays more attention to actual combat Muay Thai, judo taekwondo, these are a bit ridiculous.
If Daming this time, there is a world martial arts war, whether it is Tai Chi or Shaolin hard skills, it will dominate the world in minutes.
Wei Bao and Chang Wuye practiced the Tai Chi Method, Tai Chi Boxing and Tai Chi Stick, which is the authentic Tai Chi sect.
This old man Cheng Zongyou is the authentic of Shaolin.
Wei Bao is not very interested in martial arts, he is interested in it, and he is just practicing fitness, but he has very good luck in this regard, and he knows authentic martial arts heroes one after another.
The martial arts heroes of this era are not as good as the martial arts of later generations, because in the Song and Ming dynasties, martial artists were not valued, and the Song and Ming dynasties were all literati!
It's like Chang Wuye, as an important branch of Tai Chi and an authentic martial arts figure, before he met Wei Bao, he was just a bandit in the green forest.
Now Chang Wuye is in charge of President Wei's escort training together with Madman Tan.
"Master Wei, please get up quickly, the old man can't afford such a heavy courtesy." Cheng Zongyou said with a smile.
Wei Bao hurriedly took out a small stack of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket, almost two or three thousand taels of silver! Holding his hands respectfully, he said, "I don't know that there is a grandmaster here, be careful, not respectful!" ”
Although he is not particularly interested in practicing martial arts, Wei Bao is also a person who loves to make friends, and he even heard Luo Yangxing say that the other party is a famous person in Jiangnan martial arts, and everyone can become a guest in a family like Luo Sigong, it must be very good, it is always good to make friends!
"This can't be helped, this can't be helped, such a heavy number of courtesies, and it is the first time we meet, Wei Gongzi is too polite!" After Cheng Zongyou helped Wei Bao up, he hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself.
"Uncle Cheng, just take it! I, Brother Wei, don't have much else, just a lot of silver! Luo Yangxing smiled and said: "If you are embarrassed, accept him as a registered disciple and pass on a few kung fu skills to him, and Brother Wei will benefit from it for life." ”
Wei Bao heard Luo Yangxing say this, nodded with a smile, and looked at Cheng Zongyou expectantly: "If Grandmaster Cheng is willing to go to Liaoxi with me and spend a few years by my side, I Wei Bao will be even more grateful!" ”
When Luo Yanghe and Luo Sigong heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, secretly thinking that Wei Bao was indeed a good person, and he would really climb up the pole.
You and Cheng Zongyou met for the first time, are you really embarrassed to ask for anything?
Cheng Zongyou smiled and said: "Wei Gongzi, practicing martial arts is not a comfortable thing, Wei Gongzi is a rich person, and there is no shortage of people to protect him, right?" This martial arts, a peek at the door is enough, and there is no need to be a serious apprentice. ”
Luo Yangxing really wants to make this relationship for Wei Bao! On the one hand, Luo Yangxing decided that Wei Bao was an extremely smart person, and he really wanted to make friends with Wei Bao, and the more people had a relationship between the two people, the closer the relationship between the two people would naturally be. Cheng Zongyou is his Luo family's family friend, but now that his father has lost power, he can't give Cheng Zongyou anything, but if Cheng Zongyou can be with Wei Bao, it will also be very beneficial. Luo Yangxing knows that Wei Bao has silver!
On the other hand, Luo Yangxing saw that Wei Bao gave his father a brocade box, so he guessed that it must be a lot of silver tickets! With his understanding of Wei Bao, it will definitely not be less than two thousand taels of silver, or even more! As a reward for taking the sheep by hand, wouldn't it be a good thing for him to help Wei Bao find a powerful bodyguard?
"Uncle, you don't have any relatives in Jiangnan anyway, and you are also traveling everywhere, now you and Brother Wei are so fateful, you can meet in our family, it is better to follow this fate, follow Brother Wei, I will keep him for a year, and it will never be lower than my father's income to support your old man." Luo Yangxing smiled.
As he spoke, he nodded at Wei Bao with a wink.
Wei Bao sweated, secretly wondering how much my father would have in a year? Does your father have 10 taels of silver a month?
The anti-normal fifth master has 200 taels of silver for a year, and Wei Bao said: "Yes, Brother Luo said well, Grandmaster Cheng, you go to me, I will treat you as a guest, and the salary will not be less than 200 taels a year, and besides, you can do whatever you want, my environment there is no worse than the capital." ”
Cheng Zongyou heard Wei Bao say this, and his heart was even more moved, mainly because he was respected, and immediately said: "Master Wei, don't call it any grandmaster, we who practice martial arts, that is, the courage of the horseman, the grandmaster will not dare to be." ”
Luo Sigong smiled and said: "Okay, Master Wei, Brother Cheng has agreed, you are blessed!" With Brother Cheng by your side, dozens of people can't get close to you! If you are willing to practice a little harder, you will be able to have a good kung fu in a few years! Being able to write and martial arts is the right way. ”
Wei Bao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and arched his hand: "Thank you Master Cheng, thank you Old Man Luo and Brother Luo." ”
Wei Bao still doesn't believe it, can't solve such a little thing?
Since he had money, Wei Bao hasn't found out that there is anything that money can't solve?
Everyone was happy to see that the matter had been decided so quickly.
Originally, Cheng Zongyou was going to leave the Luo family today and continue to wander around, in fact, it was said that it was Yunyou, these martial arts figures, aren't they just to have a good home?
I really thought it was martial arts, everyone likes to sleep in the open and wander around?
Where are there so many chivalrous things? If there are really such chivalrous and righteous things, what else do you need to do? If you offend a faction, no matter how powerful you are, you will be a 1200 servant and chop you into meatloaf in minutes.
As a person with a gun, Wei Bao usually doesn't dare to talk too much.
When I met Cheng Zongyou today, I took him by my side as a martial arts object and bodyguard, for Wei Bao, it was just a gesture.
After that, Luo Yangxing set up a banquet to entertain Wei Bao, and Li Chengnei gave ten taels of silver to Luo Yangxing yesterday.
Luo Sigong and his wife went to the back, looked at the brocade box sent by Wei Bao, and found that there were 5,000 taels of silver tickets inside, and they were all surprised!
hurriedly summoned Luo Yang and Luo Yang's daughter-in-law.
Luo Yangxing didn't expect Wei Bao to be so generous!
It's not a New Year's Day, just visit someone's house, and actually give such a generous gift.
It also makes Luo Yangxing feel very face-saving.
"Dad, mother, give him a gift back. The girl brought by Wei Bao, her family is the richest man in western Liaoning! Don't be scornful. Luo Yangxing said.
Luo Sigong and his wife were a little embarrassed when they heard Luo Yangxing say this.
Wei Bao is enough to have silver, what kind of gift should he get back? I also heard that the girl brought by Wei Bao was actually the richest man in Liaoxi, Luo Sigong naturally knew that she was the daughter of Wu Xiang's family, and she knew that Wu Xiang had a beautiful daughter with a beautiful national beauty. And she is an only daughter, so everyone has seen the world, so she doesn't know what gift to return.
"What do you say? I'm afraid that all the five thousand taels of silver will be used to return the gift, and people may not be able to see it, right? Mrs. Luo Sigong asked.
"Well, I see that the gold bracelet on Miss Wu's hand has to be at least a few thousand taels of silver, and everyone is really beautiful." Luo Yang's wife, Luo Lan, answered.
Preparing gifts in return is generally the responsibility of the woman's family, so Luo Lan's and Luo Sigong's wife are responsible.
"Don't be afraid to return the gift!" Luo Yangxing smiled: "Wei Bao, I know, let's return him one tael of silver today, and he will come back tomorrow for five taels of silver!" I think Miss Wu seems to have a very ordinary necklace, you are looking for a necklace with more than 5,000 taels of silver to go back to the past! ”
Luo Sigong's wife and Luo Yang's wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, a little reluctant, but agreed to come down.
Luo Yang and his father returned to the front hall for a banquet.
The family banquet set up by Luo Yangxing today is by no means something that can be made out of ten taels of silver, and it is definitely a top-level specification of more than twenty taels of silver.
However, this kind of meal has long been commonplace for Wei Bao.
"Brother Wei, I know that you live a king-like life every day, but my small mansion, at most, that's it, many of the ingredients were specially sent to the big restaurant yesterday to prepare it, and several items were bought by asking your Tiandi Firm, these big roast ducks in the capital were specially bought at your Quanjude roast duck restaurant at noon." Luo Yangxing smiled.
Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Brother Luo said this, the most important thing to eat is to eat an atmosphere, eat happy, to talk about the precious ingredients, the dishes are delicious, this is not a head, that is, a hundred taels, a thousand taels of silver to make a table of dishes, it is difficult to guarantee that it is the best." ”
"What Wei Gongzi said is very good!" Luo Sigong smiled happily: "Ordinary friends, I don't want to mix more, but today when I see Wei Gongzi falling in love, I want to have a glass of wine with you young people, Wei Gongzi, do you say it's okay?" ”
"The younger generation is fortunate to have three lives." Wei Bao hurriedly smiled: "I love to come into contact with heroes like Old Man Luo, but I'm afraid that my seniority and status are not enough." Old man Luo, don't call me any son, I can't afford it, the old man will call me Xiaobao, right? Master Cheng also asks for such a title. ”
"Okay, little treasure." Luo Sigong smiled.
Cheng Zongyou also smiled and called Xiaobao.
Wei Bao hurriedly got up to toast the two of them, Wei Bao really liked to play with the old man.
One day, I will also be old, and the sooner I contact them, I will be able to know more about many people's feelings, and at that age, I will not panic.
While everyone was talking and drinking, Luo Sigong's wife and Luo Yangxing's wife led a little girl in her early ten years old out, and Luo Yangxing's wife Luo Lan was still holding a beautiful gift box in her hand.
