Over the years, he insisted on personally leading troops to fight outside, not only to hone his experience and establish his prestige in the Luo family's army, but also to avoid his uncle's increasingly frequent urging of marriage and Luo Qianqiu's increasingly unscrupulous entanglement.

Yes, as they crossed the age of marriage, Luo Qianqiu became more and more unbearable. He clearly felt that Luo Qianqiu's feelings for him had turned into a certain strong possessiveness. She told him again and again that she admired him; But he was disgusted by her 'admiration', and he felt that he was to her like a beautiful thing, which he wanted but could not obtain.

However, everyone told him how beautiful Luo Qianqiu was, he and her were such a match, a match made in heaven; How good he was, with such a beautiful woman, every now and then, all he replied was a smile and a silence. Only he knows Luo Qianqiu's domineering and jealous nature under her beautiful appearance.

When he was sixteen years old, after a serious illness, his uncle's health deteriorated, and the cold climate outside the gate also made it impossible for his uncle to lead troops to fight for a long time. In desperation, he had to unload his armor and return to Youzhou City to concentrate on recuperation, and handed over the Luo family army to Luo Yuan, who was still young.

Without the restraint of his uncle before the battle, he began to slowly accumulate the initiative, and quickly established his prestige in the Luo family army with his almost victorious achievements. As the scale of power gradually tilted to his side, the uncle's usual arrogant and commanding tone slowly softened, and even with a hint of flattery that seemed to be flattering. Since then, his daily practice has become more casual and no longer cares about the eyes of his uncle's family, but he knows that the Luo family army was established by his uncle, his relationship is intertwined, and his strength in the army cannot be underestimated, and it is still too early for him to replace him.

He began to frequent the land of fireworks, seeking a moment of warmth in alcohol and women, and he tried to fill the void in his heart, but the woman with the halo became clear in those half-dreams and half-awake.

In the haze, the haloed woman smiled, her lips pursed together, and reached out to wipe the tears from his face. "You have to be brave and wait for me to come back."

"Liar!" This time, however, he was furious, and he yelled at her departing hazy figure.

"My lord! My lord! Lord Luo! ”

He heard a strange woman screaming in panic, and he was shaken awake from his dream.

"My lord! Are you having nightmares again? ”

"Get out of here!" He rudely pushed the prostitute away from him, then got out of bed, got dressed and left the brothel.

When I got home, it was almost lunch. He finally went back to the house for the next meal, and a large table was specially prepared in the house.

At the dinner table, his uncle poured him a glass of "Milu wine": "This is an aging wine specially brought back from the garden of the Liang Mansion, Ah Yuan, you can taste it." ”

He thanked his uncle and drank the wine from his glass.

It's really a good wine.

The uncle continued, "Ah Yuan, is there any news about the jade seal?" ”

From the moment he was found by his uncle, his uncle asked him about the whereabouts of the prince's jade seal. He told his uncle that the jade seal had been lost by him on the way.

Obviously, that jade seal was the key to his return to the Bianliang Purple Gold Luan Palace. Everyone in the world knows that the body of the little prince has never been found. The emperor died a few months later because of the loss of his beloved son. As the only living prince, Zhao Yun was put on the throne.

If he wants to return to the throne, he must have the crown prince's jade seal, which symbolizes his status.

For many years, my uncle has spared no effort to find the crown prince's jade seal, and over the years, the task of finding the jade seal has been entrusted to Luo Yuan himself. But only he knew that the jade seal his uncle would not be able to find it anyway.

The jade seal disappeared with the woman in the abyss of mountains and rocks beside Luoshui.

"Still hasn't heard anything," Luo Yuan replied with his glass down.

"That kind of purple jade seal is rare, but it has never appeared for so many years, I think it must have been hidden by someone with a heart. A-Yuan, this time in Beijing, do you want to inquire again? Uncle asked.

"That's what I mean, if ......" Before Luo Yuan's words were finished, there was a snap over there. The two looked back, but saw that it was Luo Qianqiu who slammed the bowl on the table.

She looked very angry, "Brother Yuan, you spent the night in the brothel last night?" ”

As if accustomed to her willfulness, Luo Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Qianqiu. He knew she was going to be angry, he was waiting for her to have a seizure, and he even felt that he could feel a glimmer of pleasure in her anger.

"Yes, I was drinking with my friends in the Spring Breeze Pavilion last night," he replied nonchalantly.

His indifferent attitude seemed to further irritate Luo Qianqiu, "Brother Yuan, you know I don't like you to go to those brothels, you already have a marriage contract, I don't want you to mess with those prostitutes!" ”

Before he could speak, the uncle said, "Qianqiu, don't be rude." Ah Yuan came back from Guanwai, a manly man, go to visit a brothel, eat flowers and wine, and relax, what does it matter? That's what a man should do! You woman, don't be unreasonable here! ”

"Daddy!" Luo Qianqiu's neck flushed, "How can you condone him to have fun outside!" He's mine! ”

"Qianqiu, you are going to be the mother of a country in the future, how can you be angry about such a trivial matter! Besides, in the future, if you become a queen and command the harem concubines, will you do the same?! What nonsense! ”

Hearing this, Luo Yuan smiled contemptuously in his heart. This father and daughter are really a good game. He was about to open his mouth to end this ridiculous conversation, but a guy came in.

"Master, young master, Master Shen of Shenzhuang sent someone to ask, I heard that the young master is back, Master Shen wants to hold a banquet in Shenzhuang this afternoon, please come over and talk about it."

"Shen Zhuang? Is it Shen Qingyuan from Qingyuan Money Village? The uncle turned to him and asked.

He replied, "Exactly." ”

Uncle immediately burst into laughter, "A-Yuan, well done." If we can really get the support of Shen Zhuang, then our plan will not worry about the silver and two expenses! ”

He smiled faintly, agreeing with his uncle's statement. "Since it is Master Shen who is holding a banquet, how can there be a reason to let the master wait. I'll go over it. After saying that, he thanked his uncle and walked outside.

Before leaving, he glanced at Luo Qianqiu. Although she had regained her usual indifferent expression, her knecks, which were white from the exertion, told him that she was still angry.

He smiled dismissively as he turned away. Want to be a queen? His queen has long been someone else.

********

Shen Zhuang.

After the group dispersed at the banquet, Shen Qingyuan left Luo Yuan alone to go to the study.

But after entering the room, the identities of the two masters and servants changed instantly.

Luo Yuan walked straight to the desk and sat down, but Shen Qingyuan turned around and opened a wooden box with a big lock on the side table, took out a stack of paper books from it, and then stood next to the desk and spread the paper books in front of Luo Yuan.

"My lord, this is last month's ledger. Next month, the business in the capital will be opened. ”

"Very good, thanks to Qingyuan, this money village has the scale it has today."

"The adults have won the prize, the small ones are just following orders, to say the most powerful, or the adults, you are far-sighted, you bought the money village a few years ago, and now the four seas have frequent business exchanges, so that our money is also very profitable."

Luo Yuan smiled indifferently, "The one who asked me to buy the money village is actually someone else." ”

"Oh, who is the master?"

Luo Yuan shook his head with a smile and did not answer.

It's the woman.

He still remembers that afternoon, after being blasted out of the shop by five beggars in a row, the woman was walking down the street holding his hand, and then she said to him angrily, "Little friend, do you know what business is the most profitable? Ba

ki

g。 When you grow up, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to be a big BA

ke

Ah, remember? ”

"What's that?"

She led him and stopped in front of a small bank, and she pointed to it and said to him, "This is it, and it is called Ba."

ki

g, bank, bank. You let people put their money here and use their money to make money, you know? ”

He remembered her words and really bought the money house many years later, and now, this money bank has developed into one of the best money houses in Da Song.

And this Shen Qingyuan has a bit of a relationship with him. He is a villager in Shenjia Village, not far from the small temple on the mountainside. During the time when Luo Yuan lived in the small temple, he often helped the old monk pick herbs in the mountains with Shen Qingyuan. Shen Qingyuan has been smart and good at mental arithmetic since he was a child, and after he bought the bank, he asked him to help manage the bank.

Luo Yuan flipped through the ledger and asked, "Well, how did you find the place I asked you to find?" ”

"Looking around, I still think the brothel in Fireworks Alley is more suitable. There are a lot of people coming and going, so it's a good fit. ”

"Do you have a brothel you like?"

"Fan Lou, my lord. Fan Lou is the largest and best brothel in the capital, and officials of all sizes love to go, and it is the most suitable for finding out the news, but it is just ......"

"Just what?"

"I'm afraid it will take a lot of money to buy Fan Lou."

"You don't have to worry about the cost, you just buy it."

"Yes, sir. Oh, by the way," he pulled out a few silver tickets from the wooden box, "this is the silver ticket you wanted." ”

"Well, I'm going to the capital next month, and you can make your own decisions about this money bank." Luo Yuan closed the ledger and stood up to leave.

"One more thing, sir. The ring you asked me to find, there is news from Lin'an Mansion, I ......"

"The Ring Thing...... No hurry, I'm ......." Luo Yuan lowered his eyes, and he stuffed the silver tickets into the placket of his clothes, "...... Not even sure if the woman was real......" His voice was low, as if he was talking to himself.

"My lord, that woman, I also saw it more than ten years ago, and she exchanged a few pieces of candy from me for a piece of clothing," Shen Qingyuan said.
