The New Year is coming, after Chinese New Year's Eve, and officially entering the eleventh year of the great cause. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Luo Zhaoyun took her three daughters to Luo Yi's mansion for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and watched her half-sister Qing'er grow up, standing tall and tall, and was already an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.

Xue Shixiong asked for his son's marriage and asked Luo Yi to marry his second daughter to his fourth son Xue Wanren, although the Xue family is a military general, but from the Xue family in Hedong, it is also a famous family, and even the prestige and reputation of the ancestors are more prominent than the Luo family.

Luo Yi's previous official position was only barely a general, Xue Shixiong was a general, and he was slightly insufficient, so he could promote this marriage, and Luo Yi also felt that it was a good match, so he agreed.

In this way, the relationship between the two Xue Luo families is even closer, and they are firmly tied to a chariot.

Luo Zhaoyun is also more satisfied, Luo Qing'er is a good girl, although she didn't think much and didn't intersect a few times, but she also heard a lot of servants talk about it, this Qing'er is not bad, and she married Xue Wancheng, and the Xue family will fight for the Luo family in the future.

The marriage is tentatively set, and it is necessary to wait for the autumn to officially tie the knot and hold a wedding.

The Lantern Festival soon came, and the convoy of Gao Shilian's family finally drove into Jicheng.

Luo Zhaoyun sent people to welcome the arrival of Gao Shilian and his family, and invited him into his mansion first, while he stood at the door and waited, greeting this great scholar of the Bohai Gao family, who was also a very famous Confucian in the north.

Such courtesy and respect for the literati is easy to get the favor and recognition of the scholars in the world, Luo Zhaoyun wants to receive Gao Shilian according to a very high standard, and respect him, just like the allusion of King Yan Zhao building the golden platform back then, putting on a posture of seeking talent, so that those who think they are similar to him, or even more talented than him, will take the initiative to come with resentment and expectation.

Gao Shilian got out of the car, and Luo Zhaoyun greeted him: "Mr. Gao, I finally look forward to you." ”

"Guogong, where is this, which makes Gao panic."

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and said: "It's not a secret, Your Majesty appointed me to govern the four northern counties, not only to prevent the invasion of the Turks, Khitan, and Goguryeo, but also to prepare to suppress the rebel teams such as the descendants of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Dou Jiande. ”

"Guogong said it too politely, raising Gao Mou, making me a little embarrassed, just a scholar, how much can I help you?" Although Gao Shilian also thinks that he is educated, after all, his career is not obvious, and he is only a doctor in his fifties, and he is only a fourth-grade official, which is far worse than Luo Zhaoyun's first-class real power and the status of a courtier.

At this time, several of Gao Shilian's sons also got off the bus, Gao Cheng, Gao Zhixing, Gao Chunxing, Gao Zhenxing, the eldest was only twenty-four or five years old, and the younger was only eleven years old, wearing Shizi clothes, each with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

"Meet the Prince!" These teenagers are very polite, they have heard that Luo Zhaoyun is too rumored, so they are a little restrained when they meet, and they secretly look in their eyes, wanting to see what makes this legendary young marshal different from ordinary people, and there is a kind of excitement in their eyes.

From the back of the car, down a girl, slender, slender and pretty, draped in a white coat, holding a purple oil umbrella in her hand, the upper end of the fox fur scarf, white velvet around her neck, only showing a plain face like a lotus out of the water, eyebrows are picturesque, beautiful and lovely.

In this ice and snow, it is like a fairy in the dust.

For some reason, Luo Zhaoyun saw her figure and thought of Dai Wangshu's rain alley, the girl who was holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking in the alley, like a lilac.

"Brother Luo Cheng!" After the eldest grandson girl got out of the car, her eyes were like autumn water, deep and clear, with a watery energy, she smiled and saluted Luo Zhaoyun, but she didn't shout anything about the prince, and she looked out.

She passed the New Year, fifteen years old, between the age of youth and youth, plus the relationship with Luo Zhaoyun, so no matter what she called, no one blamed her.

Luo Zhaoyun glanced at her and sighed secretly, is this the teenage version of the eldest grandson queen, sure enough, the most important thing is the agility in her eyes, I have never seen it in other girls, this is a fusion of wisdom and cunning, eccentric at the same time, but also contains a certain amount of knowledge.

She is different from Xue Zhiqing's maturity and knowledge, also different from Princess Ruyi's infatuation and persistence, and even different from Xiao Yiyi's tenderness and talent, which is a unique character.

"It's all grown so big." Luo Zhaoyun was full of emotion, recalling that when she first met, this girl was only three years old, and after twelve years, she has become a big girl.

When the eldest grandson heard this, he muttered in his heart: You still treat me as a yellow-haired little girl.

"Brother Luo Cheng, this time I want to stay with my uncle's family in Jicheng for a while, can I come to your house often to play?"

Luo Zhaoyun doted on this lovely girl a little, and the number of contacts with her was even more than that of his own sister, and his feelings were deeper, and he said with a smile: "Of course you are welcome, just treat this place as your home." ”

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wurong was excited and shy, and he was also extremely curious about his daily life and eager to understand it deeply.

The Gao brothers were dumbfounded when they saw that their cousin was so close to Guogong, they used to hear her say that they had a close relationship with Luo Cheng and had a deep friendship, and they always felt that she was joking, but at this time they all believed it, and secretly thought that because of this relationship, in the future, their Gao children will be able to make a difference in the four northern counties.

Next, Luo Zhaoyun welcomed guests from afar into his Silla Mansion and held a banquet.

The eldest grandson Wurong asked about her brother, Luo Zhaoyun told him about his arrangements, Gao Shilian and his son and others were very surprised when they heard about the relief of the people for the winter, and were moved by his benevolence and righteousness.

Gao Shilian sighed: "Guogong can think about the people so much, it is really a blessing in troubled times, I believe that some famous Chinese families will write a heavy stroke for you, and you can get the great respect of readers!" ”

"A famous Chinese family?"

Gao Shilian said: "Yes, in addition to the royal family and nobles, there are two potential forces in the world, one is the hidden door, they have been inherited for hundreds of years, some are the sects established by the sons of the Warring States Period, and some are established by the sages of the Qin and Han dynasties, but later cut off the connection with Sheji, and do not drill deep in academics, but study martial arts, it can be said that the cart before the horse will gradually be drowned in the long river of history." Another force is the famous Chinese family, representing the Central Plains scholarly family, the orthodox cultural inheritors in the minds of the Han people, such as the Confucian family, the Meng family, the Yan family, etc., these families stand up, if the suzerain personally writes a biography and comments for you, you can be completely accepted and respected by the Central Plains scholars. ”

Luo Zhaoyunhu asked: "Is it so influential?" ”

Gao Shilian shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, this kind of influence is intangible and difficult to estimate, but being recognized by the orthodox Confucianism in the Central Plains will still help you a lot to improve your reputation." ”

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a while and said: "I don't care about these for the time being, the reason why I arrange it like this is completely out of my heart, I can't bear those innocent people starving to death, and I don't want to be written and said, I have to praise it, those few famous Chinese families, write it casually or not, I won't ask for extravagance." ”
