Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 806 Xie’s daughter has grown up

There was not much blazing light outside the hall. Through the hollow and carved silk-wood windows, specks of light fell into the room.

There are three people in the hall.

Luo Xianyi put his hands behind his back, made a fist with one hand and slightly bent it, as if in deep thought. He clenched his fists very hard, and there were blue veins popping up on the back of his well-joined hands, showing signs of the tangle in his heart.

Xie An held the teacup in his hand and turned his head in astonishment, as if he was a little surprised.

A few steps behind him, stood a young girl, with delicate features and eyes, her skin was like snow, her waist was as delicate as fiber, and she was as smart and beautiful as a hollow valley in a bamboo forest.

Behind the screen behind the girl, several teenagers poked their heads out, their eyes full of curiosity.

Xie An put the teacup in his hand on the table, with a faint smile on his face, but said nothing.

Luo Xianzhi bowed meticulously and asked softly: "I wonder which noble lady of the Xie family is in front of you?"

Luo Xianzhi was asking, but not really.

Judging from her age and Xie An's reaction, she must be his fiancée, Xie Daoyun, the Xie family's so-called talent for singing xu.

Xie Daoyun responded gently, "My lord, I wish you peace and happiness."

Luo Xianzhi's father, Luo Youzhi, decided to marry Xie Daoyun for him because of Yongxue's incident.

At that time, Luo Youzhi was a guest at Xie An's house and witnessed with his own eyes the young Xie Daoyun's quick thinking. He was so happy that he took a special exam. Zhong Lingyuxiu, her parents and elders, the Xie family, are all elegant and romantic people. Xie Daoyun will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.

Luo Youzhi's traditional Luo instinct suddenly kicked in, and he made an appointment with Xie An and Xie Yi on the spot to arrange a marriage between Luo Xianzhi and Xie Daoyun.

The Xie family was prosperous, and Xie Daoyun was favored by the Xie family. Both Xie Yi and Xie An wanted to find a suitable husband for Xie Daoyun. If someone else proposed marriage, Xie Daoyun was still young, so they would definitely refuse.

But it was Luo Youzhi who asked for marriage.

Since the time of Bangzhou, Luo family has almost never failed in getting married.

Probably because people in the world always like to ask for a good match, and this is like nothing to Luo.

As the top wealthy family in Jiangzuo, the Xie family would naturally not obey Luo Youzhi's power, but that was the Luo family!

Gusu Luoshi.

The famous family in Jiangzuo, not to mention the word "Luo", has always been the top two famous family in Jiangzuo since Luo Chu, the Duke of Yuzhang County, ranked first under the Xiao family in Daliang, Gaia family, in Luo You's era, almost It can be said that Xiao Luo shares the world!

Especially in today's world where the direct lineage is not obvious and the Yinghou is declining, the Gusu Luo family is undoubtedly the one with the highest family in the world, and it is really difficult to repay the Luo family's support to the Xie family.

From the second-rate nobles to the first-rate Jiangzuo, Luo You's contribution is indispensable.

After all, this Gusu County Duke has changed his rule since Yuzhang County Duke Luo Chu. Luo Youzhi's strong character can be seen from his words. He has a kind of mentality that those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will prosper. The feeling of death.

Those who were hostile to Luo Youzhi were exiled. Those like Xie who were close to Luo's family grew rapidly in power and power.

Even regardless of these, Luo's reputation, which is more precious than gold, is still exciting.

Luo Xianzhi looked at Xie Daoyun, and Xie Daoyun looked at Luo Xianzhi.

Luo Xianzhi knew who she was.

Xie Daoyun knew that Luo Xianzhi knew who she was.

Xie An knew that both Luo Xianzhi and Xie Daoyun knew who the other party was.

So he slowly laughed softly and said: "My dear nephew, this is my eldest brother Yi's daughter. Her name is Taoyuan, her nickname is Daoyun, and her nickname is Lingjiang. She is your fiancée.

I originally wanted to get married after you were crowned, but if you want to join the court and become an official, start a family and start a career.

As the old saying goes, how can you establish a career without starting a family? If there is no big deal, then choose a good time to get married. "

An ordinary woman might be a little shy when facing her fiancé, but Xie Daoyun was an exception.

In addition to her extremely beautiful appearance, her personality is really not that of a woman. She has the air of a Jiangzuo scholar and is a very open-minded person.

When she met her fiancé for the first time, she looked at Luo Xianzhi carefully.

She had looked at Luo Xianzhi many times behind the screen just now, but she had always looked at him from the side before, and now she was facing Luo Xianzhi.

I just noticed that Luo Xianzhi in front of me was very elegant, with the air of a traditional scholar-bureaucrat from the Central Plains. He was very different from the Jiangzuo scholars who advocated Taoism and Buddhism, were passionate about mountains and rivers, and were unrestrained and unrestrained.

What Xie Daoyun likes has always been heroes, the kind of heroes who can stand upright.

This is related to her living environment.

From the Xie family, whether it is her father Xie Yi, uncle Xie An, or brothers of the same generation, they are all very talented people.

These two generations of the Xie family are full of talented people.

This seems to be the case for every family when it rises. A golden generation such as Xun's Eight Dragons will appear.

Xie Daoyun has lived in this environment full of talented people since he was a child, so he has great requirements for this.

After Xie An finished speaking, Xie Daoyun saluted again. Naturally, Luo Xianzhi had no reason to refuse, so he replied to Xie An: "What the Taifu said makes sense. After leaving your residence, my nephew wrote a letter and sent it to Gusu, asking his mother to prepare it." .”

Xie An dispersed from behind the screen all the Xie family members who had accompanied Xie Daoyun to see Luo Xianzhi, his brother-in-law.

Xie Daoyun sat opposite Luo Xianzhi.

Luo Xianzhi raised his tea cup and said to Xie Daoyun: "What Daoyun just said makes sense.

I was obsessed with it before.

I just thought about it. I should face the difficulties and not just watch my father's eighteen years of achievements be ruined.

The next day I reported back to Your Majesty and accepted the position of Minister of the Order.

As long as Your Majesty does not place the title of Three Dukes in a high position, or the official title is the same as that of the Three Divisions, it is still within my scope of acceptance. "

Luo Xianzhi's tone was a little reluctant.

In the hall, Xie An raised his glass and felt quite speechless.

That was the Minister of Liang Guo. Although he was not as good as his Sangong Taifu in terms of rank, his power was completely different.

Taifu is just a false title.

The only advantage is that with the title of San Gong, the emperor can give Xie An any official position without causing turmoil in the officialdom. As early as the Later Han Dynasty, the three ministers who did not record the minister's affairs were already inferior to the minister's order.

In the entire Liang Kingdom today, without adding other titles of Shangshu Ling, the power can definitely be ranked in the top ten.

If there are three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, their status will jump directly to the top three.

In the Chu State era, which was completely controlled by the gentry, this was possible for the nine great sects as long as the time was right.

But now it’s Liang Guo!

And it was the Liang State that Luo Youzhi had governed for eighteen years!

Even the children of high-ranking noble families cannot rise to the top in one fell swoop and have to hold some low-level official positions. The difference between them and humble families is that these noble positions are usually related to literature, history or the army. When such positions are relevant, promotion is very difficult. quick.

Luo Xianzhi rose to the top as soon as he became an official.

It is foreseeable that this is not the end of Xiao Yan's favor towards him, but the beginning. At an unimaginable speed, he will become a powerful minister and dominate the Liang Kingdom.

Even the Xie family, the most powerful family in Jiangzuo, would never be able to reach this level.

But Luo Xianzhi's words were quite helpless.

No one sitting in Xie An's position would be able to calm down such complicated thoughts.

What left Xie An even more speechless was that he could actually understand Luo Xianzhi's mood.

Because the former Duke Luo Youzhi of Gusu County was like this. What he did was not just for the moment, but for the long term.

This seems to be a kind of governing instinct born from the Luo family, extremely abiding by the agreed political rules, while at the same time severely cracking down on those who break the rules.

Extremely conservative.

Extremely radical.

These two contradictory qualities were concentrated in Luo Shi, thus creating many of Luo Shi's unique political views.

However, Xie Daoyun heard Luo Xianzhi's determination from his words, either not to do it or to do it to the extreme.

Xie An's wife came to the hall and called Xie An away with an excuse. Suddenly only Luo Xianzhi and Xie Daoyun were left in the hall.

If we were to say what was the biggest difference in Ji Zhao's era, it was probably the social status of women. Although women were subordinate to men in terms of social productivity, because Dong Zhongshu was severely attacked by the Luo family, the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules did not rule the world.

And because of the lofty status of Empress Gao, Luo's daughter and Ji Lingjun, society is lenient towards women. At least there is no such thing as women being unable to meet foreign guests and having to talk to each other behind a curtain.

It was okay when Xie An was there, but when Xie An left, there were only two people left. Luo Xianzhi and Xie Daoyun were both in this situation for the first time, and they were both a little embarrassed.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and almost simultaneously reached out to serve tea, trying to ease the embarrassment. After catching a glimpse of each other's actions from the corner of their eyes, they became even more embarrassed, and both retracted their hands.

Xie Daoyun smiled, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Mr. Lang, are you good at wine and poetry?"

The most famous Qushui Shangqing in Jiangzuo is drinking wine and writing poems. Xie Daoyun then asked this question, and the awkward atmosphere immediately disappeared as soon as the conversation started.

Luo Xianzhi smiled and said: "I drink very little and write very little poetry. My father inherited the art of managing the world. I also have great ambitions and want to bring peace to the world. I only have a rough understanding of poetry, wine, poetry and poetry."

Xie Daoyun's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said with admiration: "What Lang Jun said is absolutely true. Nowadays, Jiangzuo scholars, especially those from various sects and clans, all like vain fame and high positions. Little do they know that they are just rootless people.

The husband has great ambitions, and I am very happy.

However, we cannot let go of the world's human feelings. When Langjun first comes to court, all the sects on the left side of the Yangtze River will definitely focus on him and review Langjun.

Langjun came from Gusu and has not been in Jianye for a long time. He must be rare in other families. I heard that when the Yuzhang County Duke came to Jiangdong, the families in Jiangdong treated each other with flowing wine. Now that Langjun has entered Jianye for the first time, I should invite all the families to congratulate my husband.

I wonder what Mr. Lang thinks? "

Xie Daoyun is good at the art of talking and talking among the noble families nowadays, but she does not advocate these, especially since the Xie family members have real talents and practical knowledge. Some of them can mount a horse to run the army, and some of them can dismount to calm the people. They are not talkative people.

The husband she wanted was naturally such a hero. She wanted to organize a grand banquet for Luo Xianzhi in Jianye to announce his arrival to the entire Jianye.

Luo Xianzhi pondered for a moment and then asked: "Is this what Dao Yunqian meant, or what Taifu meant?"

The meanings of the two are very different. If it is Taifu Xie's meaning, it means that after the death of Luo Xianzhi's father Luo Youzhi, Luo Youzhi's old tribe led by Xie lost the trust of the emperor. They want to unite with Luo Xianzhi sincerely, and then take charge of Liang Guo's political affairs again.

If it is Xie Daoyun's intention, then Luo Xianzhi should ask why he did this. A simple welcome would not be such a big battle, especially once Luo Xianzhi accepts the position of Shangshu Ling, he will soon He became the target of public criticism in Liang Guo's political circles.

Xie Daoyun's eyes were very bright. She looked at Luo Xianzhi and said with shining eyes: "I have never discussed this matter with my uncle, but this matter is what my uncle wants to do. I feel that when a person walks in the sky, everyone will look up to him. On the ground, everyone will look down on it.

If Lang Jun wants to do great things, he must stand high enough, just like the former Duke. If Lang Jun is criticized because of his appointment as minister, and thus affects the great cause, wouldn't it be a fault?

Stand in front of all the people and tell all the families clearly, Sir, you are different from others, so that all the families will obey your authority. From your power, in the court, you should have a great reputation, and those who have a great reputation should have a great career. There is great hope and nobility. "

Xie Daoyun's voice was deafening. Her reason was very simple. She wanted to make Luo Xianzhi famous directly, not only as Luo's family, not just as the son of the former Duke and Prime Minister, but also to make her famous in Jiangzuo and make the entire Jiangzuo people famous. Everyone agrees that he is the best in the world.

This is the most direct way to earn reputation, and it is done directly in front of a group of the most prestigious aristocratic families in Jiangzuo. As long as you can successfully earn it, your reputation will rise to the top.

At a time when the customs of the late Han Dynasty have not completely disappeared, this method is still quite useful. In this era where reputation is extremely important, reputation can really be used as food.

Xie Daoyun added: "Since Lang Jun has decided to accept the post of Shangshu Ling, using this method should not be considered a big deal.

As long as the end result is good, what's the point of concern about the means? "

Luo Xianzhi looked at Xie Daoyun who was talking eloquently, and said with slight emotion: "Miss, you are really a hero among women. In a short period of time, you made me break several rules in a row."

Xie Daoyun covered his mouth slightly and smiled: "I just proposed some methods. If Mr. Lang follows this method, he will be under great pressure in the future."

Yes.

This kind of method of raising hopes is also rejected by Luo Youzhi. He likes officials who have experienced from the grassroots level, rather than being suddenly promoted after rhetoric.

Xie Daoyun proposed this method because he was betting that Luo Xianzhi could be in charge of political affairs for many years. In this way, although Luo Xianzhi became an official through this old-era method, he could directly block him again.

Don't let others take this path.

Cross the river and demolish the bridge.

How could Luo Xianzhi not sigh?

Xie Taoyuan, nicknamed Daoyun, also nicknamed Lingjiang, was originally from Chen County. He fled the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and moved to Wu County, later known as Gusu.
