Chapter 696: Womanizer Luo Liulang
Shi Niang returned from Minghuafang, and there was already a visitor in the prefect's house, waiting for her for half an hour.
Luo Liulang, who came, was Luo Houyan's brother, but he did not live in Taigu for a long time, but gave the elders orders, and managed the family business in Jinyang City - because most of the wealthy families have no hope of progressing, most of them consolidate their foundation with agriculture and commerce, and because there are local officials to take care of them, of course, different from ordinary merchants, Luo Liulang not only manages several pawn shops and liquor shops and green buildings opened by the family, but also acts to apply for money from the government and lend money to the market, commonly known as "the history of catching money".
However, this time Luo Liulang came to see Princess Jin, but he got a letter from his younger brother, asking him to ask the princess to promise the previous painting.
In fact, on the same day, the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin left Bailing Village, Luo Hou originally planned to send them back to Jinyang in person, and by the way, he "urged" the Princess of Jin to make repeated promises, but since he promised Princess Jin to promote Taigu Luo to comply with the new policy, he changed his mind.
Luo Hou's father is the son of the family, if there is no accident, he will inherit the clan rights logically in the future, Luo Liulang is the eldest grandson, and his status in the family is also very important, but Liulang is not like his brother, he really can't learn the classics, history and literature, when he was a child, he was almost angry that his father and ancestor discounted the "family law", and he stumbled and finally learned a thousand words.
Luo Hou's idea, he alone lobbied the family to abandon the dark and turn to the light, so he simply pulled his brother into the water, and the two brothers worked together, it was better than fighting alone.
It was Luo Hou who confessed to his brother, and he was specially prepared to come to visit respectfully, if he got a friend of the Jin Palace, he would have a lot of benefits in the future.
Luo Liulang is also a shrewd person, how can he not know the importance of befriending the powerful, although Mao Wei and the Jin Wangfu are currently fighting-for-tat, but Mao Wei is just a foreign official, maybe when he will be transferred to another place, but the King of Jin is the rightful vassal king of Taiyuan, compared to Mao Wei, obviously has more influence on the local wealthy families in Taiyuan, and now Mao Wei and the Jin Wangfu are not divided, and the two are resolutely better than the other party.
There are many wealthy families in Taiyuan, although the Luo family is considered to be powerful and deep-rooted in Taigu, but it is not conspicuous in Jinyang City, Mao Wei did not attach much importance to Luo Liulang at first, which is also the reason why Luo Liulang sees the wind and rudder.
Sure enough, I listened to my brother's advice, and came to the door with a few weeks of courtesy, although it was not good to go out of the school, but I didn't mind, I was very patient and waited for the return of the princess of Jin to meet her, but there were countless curiosities hidden in my heart, listening to my brother's meaning, it seems that the princess of Jin is in charge of governing the government, and the king of Jin is idle and does not ask about trivialities, this thing is rare, a woman in the back house, can really decide on government affairs?
Of course, he has also heard of Liu Shiniang's name, and knows that this Jin princess is a talented woman who can "compare" with Wan Qiushan, but the Jin princess is far away in Chang'an, Luo Liulang of course only hears of her name, and is skeptical of the legend that the Jin princess is both talented and beautiful, in his opinion, Wan Qiushan is more beautiful than the fairy, but even if it is Qiushan, she doesn't know much about military and political affairs, and Princess Jin really has this ability?
As a result, I saw Princess Jin......
Luo Liulang was stunned on the spot, holding a bow and not saluting for a long time, Ah Lu couldn't help it, coughed heavily, this person just woke up like a dream, his cheeks were red, but the number of courtesies was out of respect, but he was ready to throw all those words away, and he almost didn't even remember his brother's instructions.
It wasn't until the princess of Jin brought tea to the guests that Luo Liulang's soul was still floating in the air, and it wasn't until he left the Jin Palace's mansion that he sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is really a blessing!" ”
This is already convinced that the princess of Jin is "worthy of her name", because in his opinion, talent is inevitably related to beauty and ugliness.
But it's a big pity: I can still be courteous to the lord of Akiyama, and strive to be a confidant, only the princess...... There is the King of Jin, the living king of Yama, in the way, and if you look at it twice, you will be killed.
He also said that Ah Lu didn't have a good impression of this Luo Liulang, and couldn't help but disdain: "The maid listened to Ai Lu say that Luo Jiulang is still a humble gentleman, but this Luo Liulang is obviously a disciple!" ”
"I have long heard that the two sons of Taigu Luo Changzheng are both lustful, and for the children of the Hao family, it is actually not a bad mistake, Luo Jiulang is more of a scholar, and his words and deeds are not vulgar, but this Luo Liulang is not a traitor." Eleven Niang has reservations: "Alu Mo has prejudices because he has a bad manner, in my opinion, Luo Liulang is just frank and reckless, he is just frank and reckless, he is sincere in Wanqiu Mountain, although it is because of Wanqiu Mountain's outstanding appearance, but I have not heard of any blasphemy by Luo Liulang, he is not familiar with poetry, but he can be cited as a confidant by Wanqiu Mountain, which shows that there is also merit." ”
Ah Lu was reminded by the princess's words, and he slapped his hands like waking up from a dream: "It is said that Luo Jiulang has a personal relationship with his sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and instigates his sister-in-law and brother to reconcile, isn't it this Luo Liulang's ex-wife?" ”
Eleven Niang said with a smile: "It can be seen that the rumors are not true, Luo Liulang wrote a letter to his younger brother, so he really came to visit the palace, and behaved so respectfully, which shows that he obeyed Luo Jiulang's words, if the two brothers have a disagreement, how can it be so?" ”
Although she can't tell whether Luo Jiulang's rumors of greed for beauty are slandered by jealous and hateful people, she can conclude that although Luo Jiulang's behavior is perverse and weird, and unconventional, his character is impeccable, and he will never behave like his sister-in-law, and he will not behave with his sister-in-law.
Although Luo Liulang's trip was not very fruitful, the princess of Jin did not shirk his gift, and when he spoke, there was no lack of appreciation for his younger brother Luo Jiulang, which made Luo Liulang feel excited, he was not yet dizzy, although he was severely amazed by the princess's appearance, he knew in his heart that it could not be coveted, and the slightest regret was quickly washed away by the greater interest, so he thought about going to his own wine shop and having fun with a few courtesans.
But he had to know one thing from his entourage, and Luo Liulang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Meng Jiu's forgetting eight villains, finally coming up?" ”
A whip was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and it rushed towards Midtown with great momentum.
Meng Jiu in Luo Liu's mouth is Meng Feidi, a descendant of the Meng family in Taiyuan, but in fact, "Feidi" is his nickname, only because Meng Jiulang is good at playing the flute, he is called Feidi Jun by many Yashi.
To say that this Meng Jiulang, there are indeed some strange things, when he was the first to go to the field, he just happened to bump into the eleven Niang calculating Mao Tend, in order to help Yin Shen and Shao Guang two people to advance, because the Queen Mother Fu Fang seized power that year, busy winning the respect of the scholars, and put a little effort to rectify the field, Meng Jiulang was originally good at poetry, so it was easy to take the middle jinshi, although because of Lu Li, Ning Zhi and so on, he did not win the first list, but regardless of family background or talent, the award is understandable.
But he didn't grasp the opportunity to go further, absent from the interpretation presided over by the Queen Mother herself, but returned to his ancestral hometown, and then was busy marrying a wife and having children, and also wrote a collection of poems to pass on.
Although Taiyuan Meng is not as good as Jingzhao Shiwang, but he is also a famous family, Meng Feidi has taken the imperial examination in a dignified manner, and it is unscientific to keep the election for so many years, but the reason is that this person did not participate in the selection at all, and his relatives did not seem to ignore it, so it is not surprising that he was ignored by the officials.
Every year, many people try their best to sharpen their heads, and where do the officials have the leisure to pay attention to those who did not even participate in the selection?
Few people know that after Meng Jiulang took the Jinshi, Wan Qiushan, a confidante of the red face, went to Meng's house in person, presented Jiulang to give a token, and actually asked for marriage, which made Jiulang's relatives angry, and wrote an urgent letter to Meng Jiu back, Meng Jiu was indeed happy with Wan Qiushan back then, so he knelt down and asked his parents to allow marriage, but the two of them were not in the right household, and the head of the Meng family despised Wan Qiushan's "incorruptible and shameful" trip, how could he agree to let the promising children of the clan marry such a wife?
Later, Meng Jiulang was forced to have no choice but to marry someone else, but because of this, he also turned his face with the head of the family.
Although Meng Jiulang married a wife, he still maintained a relationship with Wan Qiushan for a long time, but then for some reason, he suddenly moved back to his home, although he did not obey the wishes of his parents to enter the office, but he gradually distanced himself from Wan Qiushan, until the master of Qiushan Guan died of illness, and sent someone to invite Feidijun to see him for the last time, and Meng Jiulang also refused ruthlessly.
This also made Meng Feidi despised by many admirers of Qiushan, calling him unkind and unkind, and he had a deep affection for Qiushan.
Especially Luo Liulang, who regarded Meng Feidi as an enemy, came to the door to ask questions many times, and even scolded outside Meng's house, causing a lot of discussions.
Taigu Luo was afraid that Luo Liulang would cause trouble, and once trapped Liulang at home, and Meng Feidi died of illness in Qiushan, and rarely went out.
Luo Liulang didn't dare to come to the door again to provoke because of the warning of his father and ancestors, and no matter how he scolded, Meng Feidi insisted on being the shrinking turtle, and a slap didn't make a sound, and Luo Liulang was very bored.
But this day, I heard that Meng Feidi, the turtle, had finally emerged, and Luo Liulang couldn't help it anymore!
