Chapter 1543: The Taste
"Scared the hell out of me!"
After Niu Jinshan left, the sister-in-law stroked her chest and said happily: "Little brother, I was really afraid that you would cut him with a knife just now." ”
said that he was afraid, but it can be seen that the strangeness and awe he had for Luo Chong had dissipated a lot, and in addition to kindness, there was a look of adoration that was difficult to describe.
How could the men of our family ever be so majestic and domineering?
Although it is a little scary, I must admit that it is indeed quite enjoyable and relieving, and finally let them experience what it is like to be 'raised eyebrows' as people often say.
"After more than a year of training on the battlefield, I should have grown somewhat. ”
These words were said by Luo's mother, and the eyes that looked at her son showed obvious approval and encouragement, but there was also a certain element of reminder and worry.
I'm still worried that he is too young, and I'm afraid that if something happens, I'm afraid that he will hit the ground on impulse.
"Yes, don't worry. ”
Luo Chong nodded with a smile: "More than 100 fellow villagers, dozens of them came back alive, only I can make great achievements and be promoted to 100 households, there are always some reasons for this, but it is definitely not hot-headed and impulsive." ”
"That's fine. ”
Luo Mu nodded, and also felt that this was the reason.
"The little brother has a lot of truth in what he said. ”
The sister-in-law was still a little shy in her expression, but she already had the courage to talk to Luo Chong: "During your time as a soldier, you must have read a lot of books, right?"
"Read a few books. ”
Luo Chong replied: "If you want to be an official, you can't be illiterate, and you can't understand the orders issued by your superiors, which will delay major events." ”
"Mmmm, the little brother is really out of breath. ”
After a few words of exchange, his sister-in-law became more and more natural in front of him.
Only Luo Xiu'er still stood aside silently, like a maid slave who had no right to speak.
"Oh yes. ”
In order to ease the atmosphere, Luo Chong came to the table and fully unfolded his baggage: "On the way back, I bought you some jewelry, as for clothes and fabrics, I don't know what colors you like, so I didn't buy them." Go back and make your own ......"
Several flat jewelry boxes contain sets of jewelry. The value is not too precious, it should be within the range of middle and upper class people, so as not to scare them as soon as it comes up.
"What are you going to do with all this money?"
Luo's mother walked over, and before she saw the appearance of these jewels, she said: "There are so many places at home that need to spend money, there is really no need to ......"
The following words were immediately choked back by the jewels that bloomed after the box was opened, and the sister-in-law on the side was almost suffocated.
Women's resistance to this kind of thing is almost zero.
This lady, not to mention that she has never worn it, has basically never seen such gorgeous and dazzling jewelry. The dowries that were not valuable in the past have been sent to pawnshops and sold cleanly in the past few years.
"It's really for us, how much silver will it cost?"
The sister-in-law came back to her senses, and she was not completely intoxicated with the jewels, and she was in charge of the family's finances, but her mind flashed with how much equivalent silver should be piled up.
"It didn't cost much. ”
Luo Chong explained with a smile: "This is all the bounty accumulated by beheading people in the army, as for the thousand taels of silver issued by the imperial court, it will be sent over with the official official document in a few days, and I will not spend that money indiscriminately, and give it to my sister-in-law for our family's normal expenses." ”
"And a reward of a thousand taels of silver?"
As soon as she heard this, Luo's mother was sure in her heart, where could she still take care of reprimanding her son for squandering indiscriminately.
The sister-in-law on the side was even brighter, and she exclaimed: "The official family has given such a gift, how much credit has the younger brother made?"
"It's not that big. ”
Luo Chong was rarely modest: "I just cut off the heads of a few enemy generals." ”
In the end, it is a hereditary military household, and the words of beheading and cutting off the head are always on the lips, and the women in the family don't feel how harsh they are......
They are afraid of death, which cannot be changed, but one by one they have already accepted their fate.
"Kill the enemy general, more than one?"
Luo Mu didn't know how to do it, and immediately asked: "If that's the case, with your merits, wouldn't it be enough to promote a thousand households?"
"It's impossible to go too high all at once. ”
Luo Chong nodded: "In the army, we talk about qualifications, background, and connections, and there are too many things involved, and the water is deep." ”
"That's just as well. ”
Luo Mu nodded, and accepted this reality quite calmly. The so-called injustice has already experienced too much in her husband, and she is really a little numb.
has no identity background, no connections, and knows that others have taken the credit from you, and you have nowhere to seek justice.
In this way, the true merit of the son must be several times greater than the reward he receives, so that he can get the position of a hundred households.
There are too many questions to think about, and for a while, Luo's mother didn't care about delving into it, where did her youngest son learn such a great ability to win so many military feats.
"It's yours, come and see. ”
Luo Chong picked up one of the jewelry boxes and said to Luo Xiu'er, who was standing two meters away: "Standing so far away, treat yourself as an outsider." ”
Luo Xiu'er's heart trembled, but she still walked over obediently and took the jewelry box silently.
"Dumb?"
Luo Chong deliberately tilted his head and asked her.
"Thank you. ”
In front of Luo Chong, this is the first time she has spoken, and her voice is a little hoarse, but it is definitely not her normal voice, but it is due to various reasons at the physiological and psychological level.
She was submissive, and she didn't even dare to say her inner reaction of 'I'm not worthy of such a good thing', and she never dared to call him a husband.
Luo's mother and sister-in-law stopped talking on the side, and they felt that it was really a pity that such precious jewelry was given to her.
Originally, I didn't know if Luo Dong could return safely from the battlefield, and there was no need to discuss the existence of her child daughter-in-law, but now, he is in an official position, and he is glorious on the lintel, and he must talk about the marriage in the future.
Needless to say, Luo's mother and sister-in-law will have some plans and plans for Luo Chong's future in their minds.
It can't be said that it is ruthless, this is the reality of mortal life, the Luo family doesn't feel that she owes her anything, if she hadn't accepted it at the beginning, she would have starved to death more than ten years ago.
Fortunately, Luo Xiuer is also self-aware, and she didn't need Luo's mother to tell her, so she took the initiative to hand over the box of jewelry to her sister-in-law, but said in a low and hoarse voice: "I'm going to prepare dinner." ”
Then she walked out of the living room with her head bowed and went to the kitchen.
"This girl, her life is not good. ”
Luo Mu looked at her back and whispered meaningfully: "I can't afford such a big blessing." ”
In any case, she is also a child raised by her own family, and it is impossible to have no affection for her, but as a biological mother, Luo's mother is determined that she is definitely not worthy of a son who has already made a great fortune in his ancestors.
That's the reality, there's nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, if Luo Chong really officially marries this child daughter-in-law, he will become a big laughing stock in the officialdom in the future.
A lot of things are like this, at best, it can be understood that the old people are not forgotten by valuing love and righteousness, but if you want to say ugly, others can belittle Luo Chong from many angles and for various imaginary reasons.
Officialdom is sinister, how many people will tell you what kind of feelings?
Luo Chong didn't plan to immediately correct Luo's mother and sister-in-law's concept of life, but he just changed the topic and asked, "That Wang Baihu is not dead to his sister-in-law?"
There is such a stubble in Luo Dong's memory, Wang Baihu in the town has long coveted his sister-in-law, not to say how beautiful his sister-in-law is, but because before the eldest brother and sister-in-law got married, Wang Baihu had the idea of accepting her as a concubine, but because of the early marriage contract between Luo Feng and the two families, it failed to succeed.
The sister-in-law's surname is Feng, her father and Luo's father were comrades-in-arms, and Luo's father had also saved his life on the battlefield. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Luo family to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law into the door.
"yes. ”
When it comes to this matter, Luo's mother is not very heavy, perhaps, she would have felt a headache earlier, but now, her son is also a hundred households, and there is no need to be afraid of that Wang Baihu of the same level.
Luo's mother's age was not in vain, and she immediately inferred: "That Wang Baihu forced Niu Jinshan to come to ask for debts, it must be to test you." After all, the Wang family is deeply rooted in the town, and he is also the number one henchman under the command of Lord Qianhu. This practice is obviously aimed at crushing you. ”
Next, I had to remind my son to be careful of what tricks Wang Baihu used, but he heard it......
"It's okay, just slaughter it. ”
Luo Chong said again.
"Just know nonsense!"
This time, Luo's mother didn't take it seriously, just patted him and reprimanded him a little: "You are still young and have great skills, how can you destroy your future because of such a villain...... It's okay, although I don't know much about the things in the officialdom, Mr. Yang in the town is a person who understands, and he also has some disagreements with Wang Baihu, so I invited him over another day to help us think of a few good ways. ”
In her concept, it is not wrong to ask a reader like Mr. Yang about things that use her brain.
"Cheng, you have an idea. ”
Luo Chong smiled and nodded, of course he wouldn't argue with Luo's mother for this bit of. As for those villains, the weakest of the ants, there are too many ways to kill them, it doesn't matter how you play them.
As for how to get the Chaos Life Source he needed, Luo Chong was not in a hurry psychologically.
Here 5,000 years, the outside world is only one year, on behalf of the "Luo Dong" decades have passed in a flash, it is really nothing, both come and be safe, and experience that there is nothing wrong with this period of life, there is no need to do anything very deliberately.
In fact, if there is no such arrangement, Luo Chong will also experience different lives in various capacities in his own small universe. Again, the life of mortals is colorful, far from enough, and the taste is worth savoring slowly.
What's more, there is indeed something in this mortal world that can invisibly tug at one's heartstrings, which is obviously very unusual, and it also makes Luo Chong have some expectations, eager to crack it little by little according to Luo Chong's life trajectory.
When the day comes out, what you can harvest may far exceed your expectations...... R1148
