Chapter 64: Roland
Back in Luofu, Luo Yi led Lanny and walked in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Luo Tong was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, engrossed, holding a spear in his hand and waving it constantly, and he didn't even see Luo Yi and Lanny walking in.
When she came to the living room, Mrs. Luo was discussing something with Uncle Liang, and when she saw Luo Yi bringing a little girl back, Mrs. Luo smiled, and suddenly remembered that the person Luo Yi was holding at the moment must be Lanny.
I have to say that Lanny looks very cute, and when Mrs. Luo saw it, she immediately liked it, just like what was originally her own, but now she just lost it and regained it.
Or rather, there is a sense of déjà vu, very cordial.
"Mother, this is Lannie."
Luo Yi smiled and pulled Lanny in front of him.
Lanny seemed to be a little afraid of seeing the living, so she hid behind Luo Yi.
Liang Bo smiled, as if he also liked this little girl, and said, "Madam, or you can accept her." ā
"Well, that's what I mean."
Luo Yi was overjoyed and asked, "So, did my mother agree?" ā
"Well, agreed."
Mrs. Luo nodded.
Accepting a daughter is different from accepting a son, accepting a son has to worry about fighting for family property, and accepting a daughter, you don't have to worry about this, and when you grow up, it's just a big deal to have multiple dowries.
Pulling Lanny over, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but pinch her pink little face, her face was full of doting, and said with a smile: "Lanny, call me a mother." ā
Although Lanny is only nine years old, she also understands the meaning of the word mother, just like her father, which is the name of the person closest to her.
It stands to reason that Luo Yi is her brother, and it is normal to call Luo Yi's mother a mother, but after all, it is the first time they have met...
For a while, Lanny was stunned on the spot, unable to shout, just like Luo Yi the day before yesterday, she became dumb.
Luo Yi got up in a hurry, pulled Lanny closer again, and persuaded: "Lanny, isn't my mother your mother, just like I call your father father, it's just a title, call it quickly." ā
When he said the words 'just a title', Luo Yi leaned close to Lanny's ear and said it very quietly, Mrs. Luo and Liang Bo didn't hear it, if they heard it, they would definitely be unhappy.
However, don't think that Luo Yi is seducing children by doing this, this is completely for Lanny's sake, only by entering the Guogong Mansion can Lannie's life become better.
How many people want to come in even if they break their heads, such as Wang Shilin, don't look at him at the age of sixty, if he is made to be Mrs. Luo's son, it is estimated that he will not hesitate to call his mother, which is indisputable.
It can be seen that recognizing Mrs. Luo as her godmother is Lannie's best choice!
At this moment, Lanny's immature voice sounded, and she suddenly threw herself into Mrs. Luo's arms: "Mother..." ā
Luo Yi smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, the secret path was finally enlightened.
However, Lannie's transformation is indeed a little fast, and she was reluctant just now, but now she can let it go.
When Mrs. Luo saw it, she hugged Lannie and said with a smile: "Okay, since you recognize me as your godmother, then I have to give you a name, and you will live in the Guogong Mansion in the future." ā
"What's it called..."
Mrs. Luo seemed to be thinking, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "Since your name is Lanny, then your name is Luolani?" Adversity... It seems a little too earthy... Oh yes, it's called Roland, yes, it's called Roland. ā
After some muttering, Mrs. Luo made up her mind and settled on Lanny's name.
Luo Yi thought about it, Roland is really a good name, needless to say, the word Luo, this is the surname of the Luo family, and it is also a symbol of the nobility of the Tang Dynasty; And then there is the orchid, the orchid, which can be described as the mascot of love.
If it is extended to orchids, the benefits are more, in ancient times, orchids, elegant demeanor, dignified flowers, fragrant and clear, has always been a symbol of noble personality.
For example, the beautiful article is called "Lan Zhang", the good name for other people's children is called "Lan Yu", and the friendship is called "Jinlan is good" and so on.
I didn't expect Mrs. Luo to come up with such a good name, which made Luo Yi a little impressed.
However, what Luo Yi didn't know was that in fact, Mrs. Luo just said casually, and saw that Lannie's original name had the word Lan in it, so with the surname of the Luo family, it became Luo Lan.
After getting close to Roland, Mrs. Luo called Xiao Ning and asked her to take Lanny to take a bath, after all, she had been locked up in a cell for several days and had a lot of dirt on her body.
At the same time, she also asked someone to make clothes, since Lannie had already entered the mansion, naturally she could no longer wear the coarse linen clothes before, which was a very shameful thing for the Guogong Mansion.
Lanny and the two maids left, Luo Yi sat down at the table, and said, "Mother, I'm going to go to Liujia Village with Lanny in a few days, and send some things to Daddy Liu by the way, okay?" ā
Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you don't disappear for no reason like before, it doesn't matter where you go." ā
Luo Yi smiled, and he was relieved.
At this moment, he saw a booklet on the table, and picked it up, with the words 'ledger' written on it.
Luo Yi frowned and asked, "Mother, what is this?" ā
"Isn't it written on it, the account book, this is the account of our restaurant, it's been a year, and I haven't made much money."
Mrs. Luo sighed, obviously not in a good mood.
In fact, before Luo Yi and Lannie entered the door, she was sad, and she accepted Lanny as her goddaughter, and her mood improved slightly, but now that Luo Yi mentioned the matter of the restaurant again, she couldn't help but feel anxious again.
Luo Yi was a little stunned, in his mind, didn't he pay much attention to status and hierarchy in ancient times, scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, merchants were the lowest and most despised, and Luo Fu was actually running a restaurant, it was incredible.
Seeing Luo Yi's confused expression, Mrs. Luo shook her head, Luo Yi had known these things for a long time, but now he couldn't remember them, so it can be seen that he really has amnesia.
Mrs. Luo said: "Our Luo family, although we live in the Guogong Mansion, but the money has long been broken, especially in the past two years, your brother has been cut off from the official title, and the whole family lives on the money saved in the past. Alas, forget it. ā
Mrs. Luo didn't say any more about the following words, but Luo Yi understood it, and it is estimated that it has reached the point of being a thing now, and the dignified national mansion is really speechless when it comes to this step.
However, Mrs. Luo has a saying that is very right, the poor have the poor way of living, and the rich have the rich way of living, and the two cannot be compared; For the poor, a tael of silver can live for several years, or even a lifetime, but what about the rich?
For example, in the Guogong Mansion, what is not allowed to spend money on clothing, meals, visiting relatives and friends, entertaining distinguished guests, etc.?
Especially visiting relatives and friends and entertaining distinguished guests; For example, Cheng Bites Jin's birthday, will Luofu go? Of course you have to go, and you have to give heavy gifts, if you give less, then you will lose the dead.
Then the question arises, where does the money come from?
Or if there is a distinguished guest coming to the door, don't you have to spend a few dozen taels of silver to hold a banquet, it is a big expense, in the long run, if there is no stable income, let alone the Guogong Mansion, even if it is the prince's mansion, I am afraid that I can't bear it.
After thinking about it, Luo Yi looked forward to it and said, "Mother, why don't you give me this restaurant, I'll take care of it." ā
"You?"
Mrs. Luo was puzzled: "Didn't you disagree with opening a restaurant the most before, saying that this was a self-depraved and self-surrendering identity, and also said..." ā
"Oh, mother, that's all in the past, you just hand over the restaurant to me, I promise to make you rich."
Mrs. Luo snorted: "It's still a fortune, it's good if you don't make the restaurant yellow." ā
"So, did my mother agree?"
Mrs. Luo said: "When did I agree, son, you think it's so easy to open a restaurant, your Uncle Liang has been busy for a year, and he hasn't made a lot of money, so don't worry about it, just rest well." ā
Haven't made any money after a year of hard work? That's stupid...
Luo Yi thought so in his heart, and at the same time, he quietly cast a contemptuous look at Liang Bo.
Luo Yi asked himself, if the restaurant was in his hands, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely make a fortune, but at least it was better than now.
After persuading again, Mrs. Luo was helpless by Luo Yi, and Uncle Liang himself had no confidence in running a restaurant anymore, so he helped persuade together, and finally, with the unremitting efforts of the two, Mrs. Luo finally relented.
Mrs. Luo smiled: "Okay, anyway, the restaurant is not far from closing, just be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, you can go and toss for a few days; However, it is important to remember that it is important not to let outsiders know that this is the property of the government. ā
Luo Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Got it, mother." ā
For this point, Luo Yi has long thought that the Guogong Mansion can do business, but it must not be known to outsiders, otherwise, for the Guogong Mansion, the reputation will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to raise his head in Shilin.
