Chapter 165: The history of the Luo family, familiar and flattering
Yang Shifei turned the direction of the carriage, temporarily bid farewell to Liang Xin and the others, and drove towards the gentle mountain road next to Los Angeles.
"Legend has it that the stars fell on this mountain thousands of years ago, and it was named 'falling star' in the local area."
Sandalwood whispered: "About two hundred years ago, the Luo family established this mountain villa in the mountains, most of which are inhabited by the daughters of the family, and few outsiders can visit this place.
This rule continues to this day. ”
"Dependents."
Yang Shifei scratched his head: "There are so many members of the Luo family, do you still need to set aside a mountain villa to live in?" ”
"The Luo family has a population of more than 1,000, and there are four major families, and there are no less than ten separate families."
Sandalwood glanced back at the direction of Los Angeles: "When there are many people, it is easy to be chaotic, and Los Angeles has become a territory for fighting among clans. In order to avoid hurting the female relatives of the family, he chose to build a villa. ”
Yang Shifei laughed twice: "The Luo family knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”
"More than 200 years ago, many family tragedies were caused by civil strife, and this move was a last resort, which can be regarded as drawing a bottom line."
"Okay, it turns out to be a lesson from the past."
"However, in the following two hundred years, there have been slight changes within the Luo family."
Luo Xian'er lifted the curtain and said indifferently: "I don't know if I am jealous of God, the men of the Luo family have become more and more frail and sickly, and the descendants and heirs will not live long, and many of them have even died in infancy."
Even if there are exceptions, after more than two hundred years of multiplication, there are very few men in the Luo family, and women have to occupy the center of the clan. ”
"And such strange things?"
Yang Shifei was stunned when he heard it: "So, now the Luo family is ruled by a woman?" ”
"That's right."
Luo Xian'er bowed slightly: "Most of the remaining men are studying in the city, and they can only go to the examination to gain fame." And the real power of the Luo family fell into the hands of women, and all the business was taken over, and the current old family owner is also a woman. ”
Yang Shifei showed a strange look on his face: "How should the Luo family continue."
"Marriage, recruitment, borrowing."
Luo Xian'er sighed lightly: "Most of them will marry the wealthy nobles of the Liang Kingdom, and the high-ranking people in the family will ask the female imperial physician of the court to help, and rely on the treasures of heaven and earth to borrow seeds to have children."
In this way, there is no need for outsiders to take away the real power of the Luo family, and the family can be continued from generation to generation. ”
"Heaven and earth. Can you still do this!? ”
"Yes, but it's extremely precious."
"Well, it's the first time I've heard of it."
Yang Shifei pinched his eyebrows, thoughtful: "No wonder, you were constantly urged to marry at the beginning."
It's not to let Xian'er find someone to rely on, but to let Xian'er give birth to offspring as soon as possible?
"So, this Luo family is right to Sister Luo. Not so good? ”
Qiu Buhuan leaned over and whispered, "It sounds like I'm going to take advantage of you."
Luo Xian'er shook her head again: "In order to consolidate their position back then, the Luo family did whatever it took to consolidate their position, and all parties were fighting openly and secretly, but in the generation of the old family master. Much better. ”
Yang Shifei was curious: "What happened?" ”
"The old family master, she has experienced the most internal strife of the Luo family, and she has been fighting openly and secretly with her brothers and sisters for more than ten years before she can fight a bloody way and gradually master the resources of the Luo family."
Luo Xian'er continued: "Although she herself has an extremely cold temperament, she has not liquidated after taking power, but is gradually easing the relationship between the family, so that the Luo family, which was almost falling apart, is reunited together.
She never married, nor did she borrow seeds to have children, but regarded the descendants of each family as her own and cultivated them with all her heart. ”
"Yes." Sandalwood echoed: "In Madame's generation, the descendants of the four major families have grown up together, and their feelings are very deep, and they are no different from sisters. ”
Luo Xian'er sighed: "My mother herself is likable, she is the most favored sister in the family, and as her child, I am regarded as being loved by the house." ”
Qiu Buhuan looked surprised: "Sister Naluo, you are actually doing well?" ”
"If it's not good, how can we have the financial resources we have today."
Luo Xian'er's face was complicated: "It's just that because my mother died unexpectedly, the elders in the family treated me unexpectedly. Some overdo it. ”
Yang Shifei slapped his forehead.
Well, it seems that there are not so many doorways, Xian'er is simply urged to marry.
"Then now that you have to come to the door, will you be troubled?"
Qiu Buhuan was a little worried: "The women of the Luo family are in power, and they are quite strong when they think about it. Right or wrong to visit, if you are called to drink as a son-in-law"
"Please rest assured."
Luo Xian'er pursed a smile: "I have sent many messages to my family, and the elders know about the existence of the son, and they will not be embarrassed." ”
Sandalwood added indifferently: "If it weren't for the old master, they would not have let the son come to the villa to see him."
After all, no male had ever stepped into this mountain villa decades ago, and Gongzi was the first of the three generations of the Luo family. ”
Qiu Buhuan nodded suddenly, completely relieved.
Yang Shifei scratched his face: "I'm a little flattered to get this courtesy." ”
Luo Xian'er said: "Childe is a little nervous? ”
"yes."
Yang Shifei looked at the mountain villa that was gradually emerging in the distance, and said distressedly: "It's the first time I've come to visit, and I don't know what to say." ”
Luo Xian'er laughed lightly: "The old master is quite easy to talk, just talk as usual." ”
"Or else"
Yang Shifei saw that there was still some way to go from the villa, and hurriedly said, "First help me introduce you, the elders you know?" ”
"In addition to the head of the family, each of the four major families has people in charge, all of whom are my mother's sisters."
Luo Xian'er groaned softly: "I used to call them very simply, just call my aunt." ”
As the eldest lady introduced them one by one, the carriage was getting closer and closer to the villa, and the continuous high walls were clearly visible.
"The scale of this villa is really not small."
Qiu Buhuan looked at his eyes and sighed: "It's like a small town." ”
"After all, it has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it has been renovated and expanded dozens of times during this period to achieve its current scale."
Luo Xian'er whispered again: "We are not just here to catch up with the old this time, when we have a good son's Xuanxin Dantian, we can set off to chase the front line." ”
"The Elders of the Nalo Family"
"Miss, the old master and the others have been waiting in the bosom pavilion for a long time."
The maid of the Luo family, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around: "Do you want the slave maid to say hello?" ”
"There is labor."
With the maid calling, in an ancient pavilion not far from the gate of the villa, several figures walked out one after another.
Sandalwood slowly stopped the horses, and everyone got out of the car.
Qiu Buhuan also deliberately pulled Yuerui, lest this girl fall asleep in this place again.
Yang Shifei hurriedly straightened his clothes, looked solemn, and stood straight.
But as soon as he saw a few comers, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Listening to what the maid said, it was several heads of the family who came to greet her, and they were much older than Xian'er's mother.
But now the figures that appear in the field of vision are all graceful and beautiful, and their posture is extraordinary. Although the clothes are dignified and elegant, it is still difficult to hide the maturity and charm.
Are these women really Xian'er's aunts?
"—you're finally back."
A mature woman in a green robe smiled, stepped forward and gently held her hand: "I haven't seen her for a year, and Xian'er has really become a lot more beautiful." ”
"Second aunt." Luo Xian'er pursed a faint smile: "You look much better." ”
"I've heard a lot of good news about you, second aunt, I am naturally in good spirits."
Behind the second aunt, three other mature beauties with different appearances also gathered around, shushing at Luo Xian'er for a while.
Yang Shifei was dumbfounded for a while.
It's really aunts.
Much younger than he expected.
"Ling, is it Yang right or wrong?"
A slightly cold low female voice suddenly came from behind several aunts.
"It's exactly down there."
Yang Shifei hurriedly straightened his face and fixed his eyes on the prestige.
A middle-aged woman had just walked out of the pavilion.
This woman is well-proportioned and tall, with high buns, wearing a jade fan hairpin, and only a strand of silver hanging down on her chest.
The black robe skirt swayed with the steps, and the long sleeves fluttered, which was quite familiar and charming. His face was cold and solemn, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was not angry and self-threatening.
Although there is a slight wrinkle at the corner of the eye, the skin on the face is still fair and translucent, which is a little more precipitated than ordinary women, and more charming.
Yang Shifei muttered to himself in his heart, which aunt is this-
"Old master."
The sandalwood beside him bowed his head and saluted, which was also intended to mention.
But Yang Shifei heard his heartbeat skipping, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
This middle-aged beauty turned out to be the old head of the Luo family!?
