Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

At the gate of the Luo family’s old courtyard, a family knelt down to greet them.

Guo Shao hurried forward, bent over to help an old woman up, and sighed: "I am ashamed of the old lady!"

The old woman also sighed and said: "The emperor is worthy of my old Luo family, and the kindness is as heavy as a mountain."

Guo Shao pointed to Yang Biao behind him and said, "This is General Luo’s brother Yang Biao. In the future, if the old lady lacks, he will send someone to tell Yang Biao that Yang Biao can see me in the imperial city almost every day. Will speak for the old lady."

The old woman said: "Thank you, the official family for taking care of my old Luo family. The Luo family is thinking about the good of the official family."

When everyone heard this, they were in awe of the old woman. Guo Shao said that lightly, but he gave Luo's mother a direct way to the sky, which is not at all light.

Yang Biao immediately bowed: "I will treat Yang Biao as a son from now on!"

When Guo Shao saw some people kneeling on the ground, he said to others: "Get up quickly, don't be polite."

There is a young woman in it who is Luo Mengzi’s widow. Guo Shao and other brothers all know her name "Soup Cake Xi Shi", but no one would call her that now. She has the identity of the imperial wife and is worthy of the name in Tokyo. Lady.

Guo Shao again said to Mrs. Luo, "Soup Cake Xi Shi," "General Luo was on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition. I fought and died for the country. I very much regret it."

Mrs. Luo said: "The husband often said that your majesty treats him well. He is a military commander. It is a matter of course to go to the battlefield."

What she said in public was fairly appropriate, and Guo Shao gave her a serious look. Mrs. Luo used to be worthy of the name of soup cake Xishi, and she was indeed fair and beautiful, but even if she became a lady, her appearance was not like that, her expression and demeanor were a little bit spicy and unrestrained as an ordinary woman.

Mrs. Luo did not lower her eyebrows and behave cautiously in front of the emperor like a lady. She seemed to notice Guo Shao was watching her, so she tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered: "The concubine suddenly heard that the official came. I forgot to change clothes in a hurry. It's a shame to be so saint..."

Guo Shao hurriedly said, "General Yang and I just went to see General Luo's family members in private. General Yang is also General Luo's brother, so my wife doesn't need to be too far off."

The old lady of the Luo family said: "How do you let the nobles stand outside their homes and quickly enter the hall to sit in."

Guo Shao and Yang Biao, Jingniang and others crossed the threshold.

At this moment, suddenly an old woman in common clothes hurried over from the side of the road, Jingniang immediately looked sideways. The old woman didn't say a word, maybe she couldn't say a word, she ran to Madam Luo and said a few words in a low voice.

Mrs. Luo's face turned pale immediately. She lifted her skirt and ran forward. After two steps, she hurriedly turned and bent her knees and said, "Officials, my child has climbed up to the pavilion. I'm afraid of falling, what should I do? ..."

After hearing this, Guo Shao said, "Let's go together."

He was also a little worried in his heart. If Luo Mengzi's son had a long and two shortcomings, there would be no way to explain him to the Spirit of Heaven.

After that, Yang Biao and the others strode under the eaves and entered a dilapidated moon cave gate with a courtyard inside. Guo Shao heard the child crying for a while.

The crowd followed the cry and rushed to the pavilion in the courtyard. I saw a five or six-year-old boy sitting on the wooden beam in the pavilion crying.

The people under the pavilion immediately turned around in a hurry, and the old lady of the Luo family grabbed the old woman: "What do you look at, how did he climb so high?"

The old woman cried out in a hurry: "I just went to do some other work, and as soon as I turned my back, Xiao Langjun climbed up! There is a loop of hemp rope here. He must have tied the rope around his ankle and climbed along the pillar. , I saw him so stubborn yesterday."

Mrs. Luo said anxiously: "Oh, don't worry about it, go get the ladder."

The old woman hurried out of the pavilion.

At this moment Guo Shao had walked under the wooden beam, looked up, and said, "Little Mengzi, jump down."

Mrs. Luo paled after hearing this: "His arms and legs are too tender..."

Guo Shao raised his head to pay attention to the boy, and calmly said: "Jump! I'll go on, it's okay."

The people around hurriedly gathered around, all looked up, and some stretched out their arms.

Mrs. Luo wanted to speak but stopped, with a worried look on her face. Guo Shao encouraged him: "Little Mengzi, your father is not as timid as you."

The boy was really a brave kid, and when he heard that he tried it on the wooden beam, he really jumped on Guo Shao's arm! "Ah!" Everyone stared with wide-eyed eyes.

Guo Shao caught him and touched his head with a smile. Mrs. Luo immediately hugged him in her arms, and the boy looked back at Guo Shao.

Guo Shao said nicely: "I can't miss it at such a height."

Mrs. Luo hurriedly fell to her knees: "Your Majesty descended from sin."

"Fine." Guo Shao said, "I want to enter Luo's house for a drink."

The group went to the main room while talking. When Guo Shao turned to talk to the old woman, she found Madam Luo quietly looking at herself from time to time. When he turned his gaze to her face, she looked away in panic again, but next time she was quietly looking at Guo Shao.

No one else paid attention to this subtle movement, and everyone dared not stare at Guo Shao. Only Jingniang frowned and said nothing behind.

As soon as he entered the hall, Guo Shao saw Luo Mengzi's spiritual sign on the table directly above, and his expression was solemn. He walked up with Yang Biao, took the incense at the table, lit a candle, and worshiped the spirit tablet three times. Guo Shao said: "General Luo feel at ease, the living brothers will help you take care of the young and old."

The two put the incense on a piece of wet mud.

Then the old woman asked Guo Shao to wait and sit down on the chair, and Mrs. Luo personally brought tea to the water.

Guo Shao was still thinking about saying something in his heart. In his heart, he was sincere to the Luo family, but in fact there was nothing to say. Today is just to express his attitude.

He was speechless for a while, so he looked around at the furnishings of the hall. It was indeed an old house with broken windows. Before his death, Luo Mengzi was already a commander in Xiangdu, and his position is considered high. The Zhou court has ample financial resources in recent years and has not defaulted on salary, but Luo Mengzi seems to have no intention of buying a home.

Mrs. Luo took Guo Shao's gaze in her eyes, and immediately said embarrassedly: "Welcome to drive in such a house, don't blame the officials."

What this said... Luo Mengzi was working for Guo Shao and he was a righteous brother. If he was too poor, it would be Guo Shao who had no face.

Guo Shao sighed at the moment: "It is really my fault to let a general like General Luo live here."

When Mrs. Luo finally tasted it, she looked embarrassed and said, "I blame my concubine for not being able to speak. Damn it..."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said with a good word: "The queen did not come to visit Mrs. Luo today, but she said that she would send Mrs. Luo 10,000 copper coins and silk over two days. When the new residence of Luo Mansion is completed, you will also buy some belongings. Treat it as a gift from the Queen."

Guo Shao had to borrow the name of the queen, because he was the emperor, and he did not privately say that his large rewards were all acts of the state. Even if Luo Mengzi is his brother, he can't be too kind. But in the name of the queen, it can barely make sense; the queen has a good relationship with the general's wife, and she will reward whoever she is willing to reward.

Mrs. Luo was taken aback after hearing this: "Ten thousand sticks, my concubine dare not accept..."

Guo Shao said, "That's the Queen's mind. Madam does not have to refuse, and ten thousand sticks are not much."

Rov’s tongue is a bit unfavorable for the ropeway: "A lot, a lot, except for the husband, who would give us a penny for nothing..."

Guo Shao didn't say a word here, and said to his heart that the soup cake Xi Shi is still a woman who can handle most of the scenes. Most of the words in the scene are fairly decent, but from time to time he still has to say something like a child, after all, the time of wealth is not long.

Of course he wouldn't mention this, and said a few other things at the moment, turning the topic off the table.

The old lady of the Luo family was talking and nagging, "Dalang (Luo Mengzi) talked about the official family the most during his lifetime. When the official family was not the emperor, he devoted all his attention to you. At that time, his elder brother Closer than him."

Mrs. Luo nodded and said: "It's really miles, every day I talk about officials."

Guo Shao sighed and said that Luo Mengzi did not have much talent, but loyalty was rare, and he was the brother who followed his subordinates when he was down.

The old lady of the Luo family continued to babble: "When the old Luo family meets nobles, Da Lang can seek wealth by following the official family. Going to battle to kill the enemy is a job with his head on his head. There are three long and two short lives..."

Guo Shao listened patiently. He spent a lot of time listening to the old woman here, just because she was Luo Mengzi's mother. He doesn't have to say too much, one attitude can show sincerity.

After talking for a long time, the old woman finally realized that Guo Shao was the emperor. She thumped her leg and said: "Oh, look at the mouth of the old man. The emperor has to take care of the whole world. The old man has so many words..."

Guo Shao said, "I would love to hear about Luo Mengzi's life."

Madam Luo looked at Guo Shao with blinking eyes and blurted out: "We heard that the emperor was about to come to the door before, and we felt light on our faces, but we were really scared... I don't want the officials to be so..."

Guo Shao turned to look at her, and when she finished speaking, she had no words to say.

He sat for a while, feeling that it was almost done, then got up and said, "I won't stay much."

Mrs. Luo hurriedly said: "The officials have free time, and then come to the house to sit and sit..."

After hearing this, Guo Shao said: "If there is a banquet in the palace during the Chinese New Year, he will definitely invite the old lady and Mrs. Luo to the banquet, and it will be more lively."

After he said, he gave his hand to the old lady, UU reading www.uukanshu. com hurriedly said again: "The old lady stayed, it was raining outside, take care of your body when you are old."

The group still sent Guo Shao and others out of the house.

Guo Shao and Yang Biao got into the carriage and left the door under the guard of the cavalry. He picked up the curtain, and saw that soup cake Xi Shi was still standing outside the door looking at it, so he pulled down the bamboo curtain calmly.

He glanced at Yang Biao, and then he pondered for a moment: "By the way, I haven't met General Yang's wife. I remembered that you were married?"

Yang Biao said, "I had a family since I was a teenager, and my wife is dead."

"I still have to continue and give birth to a son." Guo Shao said, "I want you to meet virtuous ladies and ask the queen to match you."

Yang Biao said hurriedly: "A little personal matter, I dare not worry about your majesty."

Guo Shao should be polite. The rain was still falling, and the water droplets on the curtains splashed into the car while shaking.
