"This old man." He Ye witnessed the old man not hesitate to sell his grandson as a slave, and he couldn't help it anymore, so he stepped forward to interrupt: "Listening to the conversation between the two of you, the old man seems to be a resident of the village, and he still has land at home, why do you have to let the eldest grandson be a slave?" ”

The old man looked at He Ye at this time, and saw that it was a fresh face, but he was not guarded, and responded: "A few Lang Jun must want to go to Mingde Temple, it is not far ahead, if you are riding a horse, at most half an hour, but if you are to enjoy the plum forest in the temple, today I am afraid that there is not enough time, and you need to stay in the temple for a day, but because the incense of Mingde Temple is strong, many believers have come from other counties, I don't know if there is still a vacant house in the temple, a few people might as well stay in the village tonight, and go to the Buddhist temple early tomorrow morning." ”

This is obviously the answer to the question, He Ye was just about to turn back to the topic, but was interrupted by Eleven Niang: "Thank you for reminding me, I don't know if my brother-in-law's house may stay with our brothers and servants?" ”

Although Eleven Niang did not smear her face yellow and draw her eyebrows thickly today, for convenience, she was wearing men's clothes at this time, and even Ai Lu was also dressed in caftan brown, just like a little girl, so she simply matched the He Ye brothers.

"Lao Er's family doesn't dare to stay at the nobles, but Luo Langjun has always been chivalrous, and you still stay at Luo Langjun's village." The old man smiled, and there was no more sadness on his face.

Shi Niang didn't insist anymore, so she looked at Luo Langjun: "I don't know if Langjun can be convenient?" Her voice just fell, but she was elbowed by He Ye.

Eleven Niang looked at His Royal Highness the King of Jin: "Brother, this old man must have difficulties, I have made it clear just now, why do you bother to get to the bottom of it, Brother has always been pampered, and where do you know the difficulties of these poor people in the township?" ”

He Ye: ......

Well, he knew that with his usual nature, he really shouldn't be nosy.

He snorted lightly and raised his chin: "I just said that you have fun in Taigu County, you have to go to some mountain temple to burn incense, now it's okay, I can't go back to the county tonight, I have something to say first, I can't eat vegetarian food, if you insist on staying in Mingde Temple, I don't care about those monks, it's a big deal to go out and hunt a few hares, and roast and eat." "It's a bit annoyed.

Eleven Niang was embarrassed, so she had to give a salute to Luo Langjun: "A certain and my brother are from Chang'an, to Jinyang to study, I heard that the plum red and beautiful flowers of the Explanation Temple, one is to worship the Buddha, but also to enjoy the plum scene, but I didn't think to stay outside, and Luo Lang gave it convenient. ”

That Luo Langjun was also easy to speak: "Since Uncle Nan has opened his mouth, Luo will not shirk it, so please ask the two of you to go to the cold house with me." He turned his head to the old man and said, "The matter of the eldest man, I will discuss it with the old man another day, and the old man will ask him first." ”

It was still a respectful attitude, and even Eleven Niang was amazed.

The man in Huayi is surnamed Luo, maybe he is a child of the Taigu Hao family, even if he is kind and charitable, but he is so respectful to a poor peasant living in a village, how to look at it is a little strange, Eleven Niang originally planned to stay in the villages around Mingde Temple, and probe the details of Mingkong on the side, and now he was extremely curious about Luo Lang, so he looked at He Ye, and saw that although he looked disapproving, he obviously had no objection, so he really went to the residence with Luo Langjun, and there were many cold and polite along the way.

Of course, she also reported her surname, Eleven Niang did not hide that she was born in Jingzhaoliu, she and He Ye are both Chang'an dialects, and naturally they can't pretend to be locals, fortunately, Chang'an is the national capital, Chang'an people are all over the surrounding territory, don't say Taiyuan Mansion, it is Lingnan, Jiannan and other more remote places, people with a little insight will not be able to understand Chang'an dialect, although Jinshuo's language is different in tone, it is not so difficult to understand, it is not a problem to communicate.

Not to mention that this Luo Langjun can actually speak elegant words, and the communication is smoother and more pleasant.

Before arriving at the destination, Eleven Niang had already determined that this was indeed a disciple of the Taigu Luo clan, and he was the ninth in the clan.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but exchange a look with He Ye, Luo Jiulang is also famous in Taiyuan Mansion!

The so-called Hao clan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in fact, refers to the prosperity of the Hao Kuo since the founding of the People's Republic of China, either the generals who raised troops with Gaozu, or the rich families who funded Gaozu in those years, some of them, because of their great merits, after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were knighted, and they rose to the rank of noble, which is different from the Hao family, therefore, in terms of status, the Hao family is slightly lower than the noble.

However, because since the Ming Dynasty, several generations of emperors have emphasized literature and light on martial arts, and the status of the nobles is not as good as before, and the wealthy families have grown in the local business, although the political status is limited, most of them have more financial resources than the nobles, and it is not difficult to bribe local officials.

Taiyuan is the land of the Great Zhou Longxing, which is also destined to the realm of Jinshuo, and the wealthy family is the strongest.

But because the foundation of the Hao family is insufficient, so there are few children who study literature, and the vast majority of them are not admitted through the imperial examination, but take the second path of Renzi or miscellaneous, which also causes the children of the Hao family to have no hope of worshipping the prime minister, and when it comes to political status, they always have to be lower than the family, but Taigu Luo, in the past ten years, has the intention to transform the family, although there are only two Ming classics, but among the many wealthy families in Jinshuo, it has been regarded as a leader.

This Luo Jiulang, although he was not born, but he is quite good at poetry, and his reputation has made Chang'an scholars hear, the Luo family is at the key to "transformation", and it is to place great hopes on the son of Jiulang Luo Hou, Eleven Niang is familiar with the wealthy families in Taiyuan, of course, Luo Hou will not be ignored, but according to the investigation, this Jiulang, who is placed on high hopes by the family, has a good personality, so that many elders of the Luo family love and hate.

It is said that although Luo Jiulang is smart and studious, he is quite beautiful, but he is just a child of a wealthy family, even if he is born in a family, this is not a shortcoming, but what makes people talk about it is that Luo Jiulang is suspected of having a relationship with his sister-in-law, not only praising his sister-in-law for her beauty in public several times, but actually instigating her sister-in-law to reconcile with her brother, but later she saw something different, and broke off with her sister-in-law who returned home, so that her sister-in-law complained, and Luo Jiulang was burdened with adultery with her sister-in-law, liking the new and hating the old, of course, this is just a rumor, the Luo family did not admit that Jiulang had this bad deed, and the party, that is, the sister-in-law, did not stand up and accuse the uncle of the crime.

It's just that Luo Jiulang once wrote poems to praise his sister-in-law's talent, but it is conclusive.

He also said that Luo Jiulang was arrogant, and many children of the clan were ridiculed by him in person, because many people thought that Luo Jiulang was arrogant and arrogant, and his reputation was bad on the outside and inside - Luo Jiulang had never taken the exam, and it seemed that he was indeed not so confident.

But Luo Jiulang didn't want to make friends with the clan, but he preferred to mess with the reckless, and actually made friends with the people in the market, the two called them brothers, and even fought and fought for the battle in the market, which also gave many elders of the Luo family an extreme headache.

At that time, the king of Jin also witnessed Luo Hou's deeds, and sighed: "This son is more stubborn than me." ”

I didn't expect that Mingde Temple had not arrived, but in this village and Luo Jiulang, who had many opinions, met in a narrow way, not to mention that Eleven Niang was curious, and even the spirit of His Royal Highness King Jin was also inspired.

From the dirt road forward two or three miles, you will arrive at a manor, but unlike many noble granges, Luo Jiulang's manor, the house is really built with adobe thatched roof, and the difference between the village farmhouse is only in that the yard is larger, the house is more, until entering the inner house, Eleven Niang only saw a few pavilions built of bamboo and wood, and a kind of plant such as Hanmei Langui, slightly decorated, and should be furnished, are not precious materials, unpretentious, even the tea set dishes and bowls, not porcelain and jade, but pottery, but compared to the farmers commonly used, It's not broken, it's just more complete.

Of course, compared with the slum house, the eaves are more open, so there is no need to worry about rain and snow entering the house, the windows are built lower and wider, and the room does not feel dim when sitting indoors, and the furnishings in the house are not so simple, and they are carefully cleaned by the servants and maids, and they are very neat and tidy.

Eleven Niang also paid special attention to the servant girl who served beside her, although she did not have heavy makeup, hairpins with gold and silver, but her appearance was also charming and beautiful.

Looking at the hot drinks and refreshments presented to the guests, they are very delicate and delicious, which shows that although this Luo Jiulang is not so particular about the Huawu Jingshe, he is not without requirements for the quality of life, at least he does not refuse to add fragrance to the red sleeves and the taste of the food.

And this host, it seems that he doesn't feel that his earthen hut is slow to be a guest, he doesn't say a word politely, and when he listens to Eleven Niang's praise for the delicious refreshments, he is even complacent, and he doesn't want to be humble at all.

"That old man Nan, doesn't look like an ordinary peasant?"

It wasn't until Eleven Niang asked this sentence that Luo Jiulang raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a little surprise.
