Luo Zhaoyun changed his clothes, followed Zhou Luohu into a horse car, and took a car to Changsun Sheng's mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luofu lived in Yongning Fang, while Changsun Mansion was in Chongrenfang, the first large square on the east side of the imperial city, which was twice as large as the ordinary square, and many important members of the imperial court lived in it.
Important and honorable official positions such as servants, scholars, and squires have lived in many mansions in Chongrenfang.
However, the car did not enter the Chongren Fang, because the gate of Changsun Sheng's mansion was opened to the street, not inside the Fang, which was a qualification and an honor for officials above the third rank of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it was an honor that could not be restricted by the Fangmen.
The door of the house is high and wide, there is a small square in front, there are twelve halberds in front of the gate of the house, two guards are stationed at the door, the vermilion lacquer gate is covered with copper skin, it is tightly closed, the high door is large, it is usually not open, and the pedestrians who come and go may see the owner inside, disturb the clean, and it is not safe.
"The Pingkangfang on the opposite side is an extremely prosperous neighborhood in Daxing City, the mansion across the street from the Changsun Mansion, and the mansion of Shangzhu Guohe Ruobi, who was once a fierce general of the Great Sui and one of the commanders of the three armies, and now it is idle at home, but the honor and style have not decreased much."
Zhou Luohu lifted the bamboo curtain of the car window and explained it to Luo Zhaoyun casually, reminding him that he knew what he knew. In the new Chang'an City, as long as they are in the vicinity of the imperial city, they are all some important ministers, whether they pass through the gate of people's mansions or meet them on the way, they are as low-key and humble as possible, so as not to cause trouble.
After the two got out of the car, Luo Zhaoyun glanced at the high gate of the Changsun Mansion with thick walls, blue bricks and long tiles, dripping eaves, simple and elegant, and magnificent.
Zhou Luohu asked the driver groom and the eight guards accompanying him to wait outside, and he led Luo Zhaoyun to visit the door.
The guards guarding the door saw General Zhou, they were very familiar with it, and they didn't need to pay homage at all, they went directly to the door to pray, and soon, a deacon from the inner courtyard greeted the door and introduced the two into the inner house.
This is a large courtyard with six entrances and six exits, covering an area of dozens of acres, and there are other courtyards and private small horse farms next to it, so that the eldest grandson's family occupies more land.
As soon as you enter the house, there will be a pretty maid to greet you, to the courtyard, only to see the heavy door stacked households, a few galleries are also deep and tortuous, the bamboo is shady, the sycamore is deeply locked, the rockery waterfall, the flower garden is fragrant, in the hall of the middle hall, Zhou Luohu, Luo Zhaoyun finally saw the eldest grandson Sheng.
"Brother Zhou, don't come unharmed!"
"Brother Eldest Sun Xian, Zhou is fine, see who I brought this time."
Zhou Luohu has a good relationship with Changsun Sheng, and he has been removed from the officialdom to protect the general, the national duke, etc., and directly calls his brother.
The qualifications, talents, ages, and interests of the two are similar, and the officials are also similar, but Changsun Sheng is more valued by Emperor Wen of Sui, and Zhou Luohu is after all the general of Nan Chen, so he is not as popular as the Guanlong nobles, but the heroes cherish each other, and when it comes to friendship, it doesn't matter who is favored or not.
"Xiaguan Luo Cheng, I've seen General Changsun!" Luo Zhaoyun arched his hand.
Changsun Sheng wore a satin soap coat with a round neck, a blue hair scarf, about fifty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows like ink, and no armor on his body, but like a polite Confucian scholar.
"Captain Luo, hehe, meet again, yes, the hero is young, since he came to my mansion, he is my eldest grandson's guest, so you don't have to be restrained." Changsun Sheng smiled and spoke, saying very politely, and seemed to appreciate Luo Zhaoyun very much.
Luo Zhaoyun was a little flattered, after all, there was a huge difference in each other's official positions, and the disparity in titles was even greater, so he arched his hand and said: "Thank you General Changsun for your love!" ”
"Please take a seat!"
Zhou Luohu nodded, climbed the blue brick steps, and walked into the middle hall, this hall is very wide, all are wooden structures, the screens are lined up, calligraphy and paintings are hung high, there are a lot of bamboo slips, jade, porcelain, etc. on the wooden lattice shelves, and some ink paintings, string instruments, etc. are hung on the wall, which looks elegant and chic.
The outer door of the middle hall, the winding path is secluded, the bamboo forest is dense, the flowers and plants are very exquisite, like a small garden, not only the scenery is pleasant, but also quite contains the way of feng shui.
The two took off their boots and sat down on the soft mat behind the desk, where tea and fruit were placed and could be drunk casually.
Changsun Sheng also sat down in his robe, smiled politely, and said some opening remarks.
The maids were all cleared, after all, if they said something, it might involve the affairs of the court, and it was inconvenient for the maids and servants to hear it.
"Ji Sheng, in the past few days, I have studied a set of chess tactics, maybe I can break your layout." Zhou Luohu directly shouted the words of Changsun Sheng.
Changsun Sheng smiled and said, "Oh, I'm going to see Brother Zhou's new chess method in that moment." ”
"That's natural, or the old rules, a game is won or lost!" Zhou Luohu has a rough appearance, but he is thick and fine, and he talks and laughs at this time, and he does not have the cold and iron-blooded demeanor on the battlefield at all.
After a moment, Changsun Sheng turned to Luo Zhaoyun and asked, "Zhaoyun, how is your life in Daxing City recently?" Have you ever adapted to the rhythm of the capital? ”
Luo Zhaoyun listened to the words that the other party called him directly, obviously did not treat him as an outsider, he was a little flattered, and replied: "Everything is fine, a few days ago, I also went back to Luofu, met my grandfather, was given a house, and moved out of the East Palace Changlinmen station, and the days are a lot quieter." ”
"Well, two days ago, Duke Luo personally came to my house as a guest and asked me to take care of you. Don't worry, I have some friendship with Luo Gong, Dugu's side, you don't have to be afraid, since General Dugu made you suffer last time, you will not bite it, you will try to avoid them in the future, don't resist and collide, this matter can be slowly revealed. ”
Changsun Sheng said it on the spot, which can be regarded as a peacemaker, and he plans to talk about Xiang Xiang on both sides and resolve the contradictions in the past.
Although the Luo family is not a gate valve, after all, there are some forces in Guanzhong, and many neutral people have formed an alliance of advance and retreat, so there are also people who speak for the Luo family and come out.
Although the Dugu valve is strong, but Queen Dugu has passed away, and her influence is also declining, if the people of the Dugu family bite the only heir of the Luo family, it is estimated that the old man Luo will not give up, and when the time comes, the conflict between the wealthy families in the capital will also escalate.
"I understand, thank you General Changsun for your advice!"
"You are so young and so brave, you have made such a great achievement, you have become famous in a battle, and you are proficient in writing and ink, and you have made high-quality poems, which can be passed down to the world, and you can already enter the ranks of young heroes in the capital, which is really rare. The dog in the family is also ten years old, although he prides himself on being smart, but compared to Zhaoyun, whether it is talent or maturity, it is far behind......"
"Daddy, you're belittleing me behind my back again, children shouldn't be!" A young man's voice sounded outside the hall, interrupting Changsun Sheng's words.
Luo Zhaoyun followed the prestige and saw a young man, slender and long, about ten years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his face was still immature, but his eyes were bright and very clever.
Changsun Sheng was not annoyed at all, stroked his beard, and chuckled: "Wuji, come in to meet your Uncle Zhou, in addition, I will introduce you to a young Junjie, who is only four years older than you, but he is both civil and military, don't you usually boast of being smart and talented, and your ambitions are very high, let's meet the real little hero!" ”
"Eldest grandson Wuji!" Luo Zhaoyun's heart moved, and he already knew who this young man was.
This is the first cattle man in the Tang Lingyan Pavilion, in the early Tang Dynasty, he served as the general of the Zuowu Marquis, the official department of Shangshu, and the right servant of Shangshu, ranking as the prime minister, both civil and military, and also has some fame in the history books. However, what interests Luo Zhaoyun even more is where is his sister eldest grandson Wuji?
