At the gate of the old courtyard of the Luo family, the old and young family knelt on the ground to greet the car.

Guo Shao hurriedly strode forward, bent down to help an old woman up, and sighed: "I'm ashamed of the old lady!" ”

The old woman also sighed, and said: "The emperor is worthy of my Lao Luo family, and his kindness is as heavy as a mountain." ”

Guo Shao pointed to Yang Biao behind him and said: "This is General Luo's righteous brother Yang Biao, in the future, if the old lady lacks anything, he will send someone to tell Yang Biao that Yang Biao can see me in the imperial city almost every day, and he will speak for the old lady." ”

The old woman said: "Thank you to the official family for taking care of my old Luo family, the Luo family is thinking about the good of the official family in their hearts." ”

When everyone heard this, they were in awe of this old woman, Guo Shao's words were light, but they gave Luo Mu a direct way to the sky, which was not light at all.

Yang Biao immediately bowed and said: "The old lady will treat Yang Biao as a son in the future!" ”

Guo Shao saw that there were still some people kneeling on the ground, and said to the others: "Get up quickly, don't be polite." ”

There is a young woman in it who is the widow of Luo Mengzi, Guo Shao and other brothers know her name "soup cake Xi Shi", but now no one will call her like that, she has the identity of Mrs. Fate, and she is a veritable noblewoman in Tokyo.

Guo Shao said to Mrs. Luo, "Soup Cake Xi Shi": "General Luo was on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, and he died fighting for the country and me, and I regret it very much. ”

Mrs. Luo said: "My husband often said that His Majesty treated him well, he was a military general, and going to the battlefield was a matter of duty. ”

What she said in public was quite decent, and Guo Shao glanced at her with a straight face. Mrs. Luo used to be worthy of the name of soup cake Shih Tzu, and she was indeed fair and beautiful, but even if she became a noblewoman, her appearance and expression were always not like that, and her expression and demeanor were a bit of the spontaneous and spicy taste of an ordinary woman.

Mrs. Luo is not like a noble lady who bows her eyebrows and behaves cautiously in front of the emperor, she seems to have noticed that Guo Shao is looking at her, so she immediately pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered: "The concubine suddenly heard that the official family was coming, and she forgot to change her clothes in a hurry, so she was a little embarrassed......

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "General Yang and I just came to see General Luo's family in private, General Yang is also General Luo's brother, and Mrs. doesn't need to see too much." ”

The old lady of the Luo family said: "How can you let the nobles stand outside the door of the house, and quickly enter the hall and sit." ”

Guo Shao crossed the threshold with Yang Biao, Jing Niang and others.

At this moment, suddenly an old woman in cloth clothes hurriedly ran over from the side of the road, and Jing Niang immediately looked sideways. The old woman didn't say a word, and probably couldn't say anything, so she ran straight to Mrs. Luo and whispered a few words.

Mrs. Luo's face turned pale immediately, she lifted her skirt and ran forward, took two steps, and hurriedly turned around and bent her knees: "Official, my child has climbed to the pavilion, what should I do if I am afraid of falling, I have to go and see ......"

Guo Shao listened and said, "Let's go together." ”

He was also a little worried in his heart, if Luo Mengzi's son had three longs and two shorts, he would not be able to explain to his spirit in the sky.

After that, he strode under the eaves with Yang Biao and the others, and entered a dilapidated moon cave gate with a courtyard inside. Guo Shao heard a burst of "wow, wow, wow......" children's crying.

The crowd followed the cry and rushed to the bottom of the pavilion in the courtyard. I saw a boy of five or six years old sitting on a wooden beam in the pavilion and crying.

The people under the pavilion immediately turned around in a hurry, and the old lady of the Luo family grabbed the old woman: "What do you look at the child, how did he climb so high?" ”

The old woman was so anxious that she was about to cry: "I just went to do some other work, and as soon as I turned my back, Xiao Langjun climbed up!" There was a circle of hemp rope here, and he must have climbed along the pillar with the rope wrapped around his ankles, and he was seen so stubborn yesterday. ”

Mrs. Luo hurriedly said, "Oh, don't worry about this for now, go get a ladder." ”

When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly ran out of the pavilion.

At this time, Guo Shao had already walked under the wooden beam, looked up, and said, "Little Mengzi, jump down." ”

Mrs. Luo's face turned pale when she heard this: "His arms and legs are too tender......"

Guo Shao looked up at the child and said calmly: "Jump!" I continued, and it was fine. ”

The people around hurriedly gathered around, all looked up, and some stretched out their arms.

Mrs. Luo stopped talking, looking worried. Guo Shao encouraged again: "Little Mengzi, your father is not as timid as you. ”

That kid was really a bold child, and when he heard that he tried it on the wooden beam here, he really jumped down at Guo Shao's arm! "Ahh The crowd stared with wide eyes.

Guo Shao caught him and touched his head with a smile. Mrs. Luo immediately hugged him in her arms, and the child looked back at Guo Shao.

Guo Shao said kindly: "With such a height, I can't miss it." ”

Mrs. Luo hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty has condemned you." ”

"That's it." Guo Shao said, "I still have to go into Luo's house to drink saliva." ”

The group talked as they went to the hall. When Guo Shao turned his head to talk to the old woman, he found Mrs. Luo quietly looking at him from time to time, and when he moved his gaze to her face, she looked away with panic on her face, but next time she was quietly looking at Guo Shao.

No one else paid attention to this subtle movement, and everyone didn't dare to stare at Guo Shao. Only Jing Niang frowned and didn't say a word in the back.

As soon as he entered the hall, Guo Shao saw Luo Mengzi's spirit card on the table directly above him, and his expression was solemn. He walked up with Yang Biao, took incense from the table, lit a candle, and bowed three times to the spirit card. Guo Shao said: "General Luo is at ease, the living brothers will help you take care of the old and the young." ”

So they put incense on a piece of wet clay.

Then the old woman asked Guo Shao and others to sit down on the chair, and Mrs. Luo personally brought tea and water up.

Guo Shao was still thinking about saying something in his heart, he was still sincere to the people of the Luo family in his heart, but in fact, he didn't have anything to say, and he came here today to express his attitude.

He didn't say anything for a moment, so he looked around at the furnishings of the house, which was indeed very old, and the windows were all broken. Luo Mengzi was already in the command of the Xiangdu during his lifetime, and his position was very high, and the Great Zhou court had rich finances in recent years, and he did not owe money, but Luo Mengzi did not seem to care about buying a house.

Mrs. Luo looked at Guo Shao's gaze, and immediately said embarrassedly: "Don't blame the official family for driving in such a house." ”

What do you say...... Luo Mengzi is working hard for Guo Shao, and he is a righteous brother, if he is too poor, it is Guo Shao who has no face.

Guo Shao sighed immediately: "It is really my fault to let a loyal general like General Luo live here. ”

When Mrs. Luo heard this, she finally tasted it, and said with an embarrassed face: "It's all because the concubine can't speak, it's really damn ......."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said kindly: "The queen didn't come to visit Mrs. Luo today, but she said that she would send Mrs. Luo 10,000 copper coins and silk in two days. When the new mansion in Luofu is completed, you will also have to buy some belongings, which will be a gift from the queen to you. ”

Guo Shao had to borrow the name of the empress, because he was the emperor, and there was no private gift, and his large rewards were all state acts. Even if Luo Mengzi is his brother, he can't be too generous. But in the name of the queen, it can barely be said; The queen has a good relationship with the general's wife, and she will reward whoever she wants.

Mrs. Luo was taken aback when she heard this: "Ten thousand times, the concubine doesn't dare to accept ......"

Guo Shao said: "That's the queen's intention, Madame doesn't have to refuse, and 10,000 yuan is not much." ”

Rofu's tongue was a little unfavorable: "It's a lot, except for the first husband, who would give a penny to our family for nothing......"

Guo Shao didn't say anything when he heard this, and said in his heart, soup cake Xi Shi is still a woman who can handle it, and most of the words on the scene are quite decent, but from time to time he still has to say the words of a small family, after all, the time of wealth is not long.

Of course, he didn't mention it, and said a few other things at the moment, diverting the topic.

The old lady of the Luo family said and nagged, "Da Lang (Luo Mengzi) was the most talked about at home before he was the official family, and when the official family was not the emperor, he was loyal to you, and his eldest brother was closer than him at that time." ”

Mrs. Luo nodded and said, "It's really good, it's the official family that I talk about every day." ”

Guo Shao sighed and sighed, Xin Dao Luo Mengzi really has no talent, but loyalty is rare, and he is the brother who followed his command when he was down.

The old lady of the Luo family continued to nag: "The old Luo family meets a nobleman, and the eldest man can only seek wealth by following the official family, and going into battle to kill the enemy is a job done with his head, and having three long and two short is also fate......"

Guo Shao listened patiently, he spent a lot of time listening to the old woman here, just because she was Luo Mengzi's mother. He doesn't have to say much, an attitude can show sincerity.

After talking for a long time, the old woman finally realized that Guo Shao was the emperor, and immediately beat her legs and said: "Ouch, look at the old body's mouth, the emperor has to take care of the affairs of the whole world, why does the old body say so many words......"

Guo Shao said: "I am very willing to listen to what happened to Luo Mengzi before his death. ”

Mrs. Luo looked at Guo Shao with flickering eyes, and blurted out: "When we heard that the emperor was going to come to the door before, we felt that there was light on our faces, and we were really scared...... I don't want the official family to be so ......"

Guo Shao turned his head to look at her, and when she finished speaking, she was speechless.

He sat down for a while, and when he felt that it was almost enough, he got up and said, "I will not stay any longer." ”

Mrs. Luo hurriedly said: "The official family has time, come to the house to sit ......"

Guo Shao listened and said: "During the New Year's Festival, if there is a banquet in the palace, the old lady and Mrs. Luo will be invited to the banquet, which will be more lively." ”

After he said that, he bowed his hand to the old lady, and hurriedly said: "The old lady stays, it's raining outside, and she is old enough to take care of her body." ”

The group still sent Guo Shao and others out of the house.

Guo Shao and Yang Biao got into the carriage and left the front of the door under the escort of the cavalry. He lifted the curtain, and saw that the soup cake Xi Shi was still standing outside the door and watching, so he quietly pulled down the bamboo curtain.

He glanced at Yang Biao, pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, I haven't met General Yang's wife yet, I remember that you are already married?" ”

Yang Biao said: "I became a family when I was a teenager, and my wife is dead. ”

"I still have to continue the string and have a son." Guo Shao said, "I want you to see virtuous ladies and ask the queen to be a matchmaker for you." ”

Yang Biao hurriedly said: "A little private matter, I don't dare to worry about Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao took it as a kind word. The rain was still falling, and the water droplets on the curtains splashed into the car in the shaking.
