"Xiao Wu, the dough you rolled out is so small, is this to make wontons?"

Luo Mu asked.

Dad came back from outside and glanced at the dough rolled out by Luo Cheng's men, "He's going to wrap up the pills." ”

Luo Cheng, who was rolling noodles, couldn't help but stagnate.

No one in Nanshan Village has ever eaten wontons, and it is estimated that they have never seen a prison pill, but the old lady and father can tell the wontons and prison pills with a piece of dumpling skin he has just rolled out.

After all, the old lady was born in the Qin family in Licheng, and she knew that wontons were nothing. But my father, an old blacksmith, can actually tell the prison pill at a glance, it seems a little amazing.

"Dad, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you, although our family's surname is Luo, it doesn't seem to be the same as other families in the village, why?"

He only recently discovered this problem.

The surname of Nanshan Village is Luo, and the people in the village are basically of the same clan, but it seems that Luo Cheng and their family are not. Other people's families are more than a dozen or twenty families are considered one, and during the New Year's holidays or any happy events, there will be a large number of people in the family to help, which is very lively.

But Luo Cheng's family has always been a single family, and he doesn't invite others to come when he has something, and he doesn't invite the Luo family when someone else has something. But it's not right to say that the Luo family is poor, my dad usually doesn't talk much, but because he is a blacksmith, he often helps the villagers repair farm tools or something, and everyone respects him quite much.

The old lady is a woman who never blushes with others.

Before, he thought that his family was a separate branch, and the people were not prosperous.

Not long ago, I heard from my eldest brother that although their family is actually surnamed Luo, they are not the same as the Luo family in Nanshan Village. It means that the surname of Nanshan Village is Luo, who has lived here for hundreds of years, and it was all handed down by the same ancestor before. But the Luo family is not, the Luo Cheng family was not from this village at all before.

Daddy put down the hammer in his hand and sat down.

"There are some things that I didn't intend to tell you. It's just that now that you brothers are dedicated to their careers, there is no need for me to keep some things from you. ”

"Actually, I'm not from Nanshan Village, nor am I from Zhangqiu County. My ancestral home is Xiangyang, but my family moved to Jingzhao Yunyang early, and I have been growing up in Chang'an since I was a teenager. ”

"Dad is talking about Daxing City?" Si Ye also asked with interest.

"At that time, I was still called Chang'an City, but it was not the current Daxing City. This Daxing city was built after the founding of the first emperor. The Chang'an City where I lived when I was young was the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, and it was still the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time. ”

Luo Cheng's eyes widened and he listened carefully, he felt that the fog was finally slowly about to be pulled out.

It turns out that his father is really not simple, not as simple as a country blacksmith.

He was born shortly after the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and lived in Chang'an City, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, since he was a child.

"Dad, how did our family get from Xiangyang to Chang'an?"

"Fighting!"

"Our Luo family originally lived in Xiangyang for generations, and later, Taizu of this dynasty led the Northern Wei army with Dugu Xin to attack Xiangyang, which was occupied by the Eastern Wei army, and the Xiangyang guards were defeated. Taizu was based in Xiangyang for half a year, during which he recruited troops and horses, and your grandfather joined his command at that time. Soon after, the Eastern Wei army approached, and your grandfather defected to Southern Liang with Taizu and Duguxin······"

"Three years later, your grandfather returned to Chang'an, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, with Taizu and Dugu Xin. At that time, Taizu was brave and fierce, and he was deeply liked by Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, so he asked Taizu to be his personal guard general, and your grandfather was Taizu's personal guard at that time. ”

With Father Luo's eloquent story, Luo Cheng realized that their old Luo family was actually very good.

The Taizu of this dynasty is Yang Zhong, the Taizu of Sui, of course, Yang Zhong has never been an emperor, but he was once one of the twelve generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, although he is not as good as Li Hu, Dugu Xin and other Eight Pillar States, but he is also the top military leader at that time.

It was the foundation of the Yang family laid by Yang Zhong that finally allowed his son Yang Jian to win the Northern Zhou Dynasty and create the Great Sui Empire.

And Luo Cheng's grandfather is actually a personal guard who has been following Yang Zhong to fight the world.

From Yang Zhong to fight Xiangyang with the lonely letter, he voted under him, followed him to the Southern Dynasty Liang, and later returned to the Western Wei Dynasty, and then later fought in the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi, and fought countless battles in his life.

Later, Yang insisted on being the emperor, and Grandpa Luo Cheng, the old general of the Yang family, of course, also had the merit of supporting it, and the official was awarded the post of general of the Zuo Jian Gate, which was one of the twelve guards and four mansions of the Sui Dynasty.

Responsible for the control and guarding of the palace, he is the person who the emperor relies on and trusts.

He was also knighted as the Duke of Xiangyang County.

Luo Cheng's father is the eldest son of the county duke, but he is not valued in the county mansion, because Luo Cheng's father was born to his grandfather's wife when he was still in Xiangyang. At that time, he did not have much status, so he married only a commoner's daughter.

Later, he defected to Yang Zhong's command, and it didn't take long for Yang Zhong to run away to Nanliang, when his wife was pregnant, about to give birth, and had difficulty moving, so he could only stay in the local area.

Grandpa Luo Cheng went to Nanliang to stay for three years, and then ran to Chang'an, Guanzhong, and when he sent someone to Xiangyang to find relatives and pick up people, it was already five years later.

At that time, Grandma Luo Cheng thought that her husband, like many rebels in this era, had died in a foreign land. So, three years ago, in order to be able to pull the child who was only two years older, Grandma Luo Cheng took the child to remarry.

When Grandpa Luo Cheng sent someone to find them, he was a little embarrassed.

Luo Cheng's grandmother angry husband has not heard from her for several years, so although her husband has now become an official and sent someone to pick her up, she and her current husband have two more children, and the two are doing well, so she refused to go to Chang'an.

She would rather follow her ordinary current husband and live an ordinary life.

In the end, she asked Luo Cheng's father to come and take him back.

After Luo Cheng's father arrived in Chang'an, his identity became embarrassing.

Because Grandpa Luo Cheng has been fighting abroad for several years, he has won Yang Zhong's trust very much, and even saved Yang Zhong's life several times, so Yang Zhong likes this subordinate very much, and seeing that he also has courage and talent, he married one of his nieces to him.

Luo Cheng's father came to Chang'an and found that there was already a hostess and a son-in-law in this house.

Originally, Luo Cheng's father was the eldest son, but not because of this complicated situation, especially because his mother refused to come to Chang'an, so in the end he became the eldest son in the house.

The eldest son of a concubine who had no mother and was not treated by his stepmother did not have a good time in Chang'an, especially in those years when his father was away from home all the year round.

After living in Chang'an alone for many years, he finally grew up, and he was able to join the emperor's personal guards as a meritorious son, and he often stood on top of the golden palace with a golden gourd hammer.

Until one day, his stepmother's younger brother got into trouble, committed something that he shouldn't have done, and got into a big disaster, and finally they asked him to take the blame for him.

He ignored his stepmother's pleas, but when his father said in tears that if he didn't help that brother, his brother's life would be ruined, he finally agreed.

Then he bore all the consequences for his younger brother, he broke a leg, became lame, and he was expelled from Chang'an City forever, never to go back.

Even the Luo family's family tree removed his name.

In addition to retaining the surname Luo, it can be said that after that day, he had nothing, and he had no worries about the past.

"You haven't been back to Daxing since then?"

"Nope."

Daddy sighed.

"Dad, you used to be a gourd warrior?" Si Ye asked.

"Well, I used to be a guard in front of the palace, a guard in the three mansions of Qin Xun Yi, and also a guard of honor in front of the palace, holding a golden gourd hammer."

The Golden Melon Warrior is the Seven-Rank Imperial Guard, which is slightly lower than the Thousand Ox Guards who hold the Thousand Niu Sword, but they are all held by the sons and daughters of those high-ranking officials.

Luo Cheng was concerned about another question, "Dad, what's the name of grandfather, is he still there?" ”

"It's long gone, and soon after I left Chang'an, I heard that he died of illness."

"Is there anyone else in the Jingshi Luo family?"

"Yes."

"Is that your brother? What's his name? ”

Father Luo didn't seem to want to say, he was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Your grandfather is honorable, and you also have two uncles, one famous and one famous." ”

Grandfather Luo Rong.

Uncle Luo Yi and Luo Shou?

"Dad, was it Luo Yi who hurt you back then? Is he still in Jingshi, I'm going to settle accounts with him. Si Ye said angrily.

"He's not in Chang'an now, I've seen him this year, he's in Zhuojun now, and he's an official in Huben Lang!"

"I tell you this today because when I saw him last year, he recognized me first, and also knew that I am now in Zhangqiu, and I told you this in advance, so that you can have a bottom in your heart. But I don't want you to go to him, for the past is gone, and it is useless to mention it. Even if he's a general now, it's none of our business! ”

Luo Cheng felt his head buzz.

Originally, he thought that Daddy would have some stories.

After all, how can an ordinary blacksmith have so much knowledge, and how can he marry the daughter of the Qin family in Licheng, a scholar clan. But no matter how much he guessed, he only thought that maybe when his father was young, he used to wander outside, such as being a recruiter, or going out to be a craftsman.

He never expected that his father was still the son of Guan Longjiangmen.

When he was young, he used to be a golden gourd warrior in the Golden Palace, and he was a guard military attache of the seventh grade, and his father was also the chief official of one of the twelve guards and four mansions, and he was the son of the county prince.

Of course, these are not as good as the father who finally said that he killed his younger brother back then, and his surname is Luo Yi.

Now the tiger Benlang general Luo Yi who is stationed in Zhuo County, then there is no mistake, it is the extremely famous fierce general Luo Yi in history.

Hu Benlang will be a high-ranking military general position, and he is the fourth grade. The twelve guards and four mansions of the Sui Dynasty, each of the twelve guards has a general, two generals, and then the following are the general of the tiger and the general of the tiger tooth.

Dad is less than fifty this year, so his younger brother Luo Yi is only in his forties, and he is already a tiger general in the twelve guards, which is already very good, this is not only a position that can be sat at this age by virtue of his family background.

"Dad, does Luo Yi still want to hurt you again?"

"Not really, it's just that I really don't want our family to have anything to do with them." Daddy said.
