Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 847 Jiangnan Luo Family!

Since Xizi came out of Wuyue, it has been widely spread that beauties were born in the south of the Yangtze River. Unlike the north of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, the south of the Yangtze River has always experienced very few wars.

Since the Sui Dynasty, when the north was settled in the south and the country was conquered, Jiangnan had to take a back seat in the current situation. Many Jiangnan scholars were quite unhappy.

Therefore, the Jiangnan gentry actively participated in Yang Guang's attempt to seize the heir, hoping to turn around politically. However, only the Gusu Luo family closed its gates, only served as local officials, married many times, and did not engage in seize the heir.

In the early years of the founding of the Emperor, Yang Jian abolished the county-level organizational structure of the world and completely changed it to a state-county system. Gusu County took the word Su and changed its name to Suzhou. However, people in the world still call this old county the name of the old county.

Suzhou seems to have remained unchanged for thousands of years. The three of them passed by Yangzhou, crossed the Yangtze River by boat, and passed directly through Jianye. They seemed to have entered a delicate picture.

Especially Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing, who were born in the far north in the cold winter, were deeply attracted by every small bridge and flowing water here.

The three of them dismounted and boarded a small boat. They looked at the buildings with white walls and black tiles in the narrow alley.

“Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are fields of lotus leaves, and fish play among the lotus leaves.

The leaves of the lotus are to the east, the leaves of the lotus are to the west, the leaves of the lotus are to the south, and the leaves of the lotus are to the north. "

On both sides of the gate, against the wall, there are stone tablets. There are many words on the stone tablets, with names of people and descriptions of the listed people's achievements.

Those three sacred marks are shining and full of sacred meaning.

This is too scary!

This is Luo Shi!

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With the Jiangnan Luo family's background, as long as they don't offend the royal family, it will be no problem to consume it for another hundred years.

Luo Su glanced at Luo Xuanjing and asked, "Old man, if the Luo family occupies so much land, won't it mean that other people have no land to farm?"

The seal carved between the eyebrows is always shining with light. Between the winding sacred marks, it seems that there are ancient words flowing, which contain the supreme avenue of heaven and earth.

This is the store operated by Luo's and its window to the outside world.

Even though the Luo family was suppressed and had no titles, no honors, no Wen Sanguan or Wu Sanguan, their strength did not entirely rely on official positions.

"Most of the Luo clan members live in manors outside the city of Suzhou, where the Luo clan still owns large tracts of land. 20% of the land in Suzhou is under the name of the Luo clan, which is really extremely prominent."

The three of them looked at themselves with smiles.

Not to mention the third-rank Shangzhou governor, even the Xiao family, who holds the title of Duke of Founding County of the second rank, would not stand up to Luo family.

She hummed softly the Yuefu poems that had been circulated in the Han Dynasty. Even a cold-hearted person like Luo Xuanye couldn't help but say with emotion: "If you don't go to Jiangnan, you will never know that the beautiful scenery between the lines is so real. That’s true.”

That's changing the world, that's changing the world!

Suzhou, one of the central cities in the south of the Yangtze River, is very peaceful here. Although there are officials from the imperial court, everyone knows that there is only one owner here, and that is the Luo family!

As a family that has been here for hundreds of years, the Luo family's tree has deep roots that are difficult for almost anyone to imagine and estimate.

It was a rather splendid gate, made entirely of stones and logs, showing its solemnity.

The appearance of these three people are all top-notch. The head of the Luo family is sure that he does not know these three people, otherwise he will never forget them if he has seen them.

Jiangnan nobles valued characters, so they would list outstanding characters in their families to judge their status.

Hearing this, the old man smiled and waved his hands and said: "Farming land for the Luo family is a good job that cannot be snatched away. The Luo family is not very exploitative. I heard that the shops make a lot of money. They don't care about the output of the loess, they only keep it." Make food."

He was about to step forward and ask.

This is a custom in Jiangnan.

South of the Yangtze River, a place that was once too far away for exiles, has now become a prosperous land of plenty.

The plaque at the top of the gate of the manor reads "Heirloom of Renyi".

The people in Suzhou enthusiastically introduced the Luo family to Luosu and the others. When they heard about 20% of the land, the faces of Luosu and the others were full of surprise.

But they saw the three people raising their hands together. The boy and girl reached behind their heads to untie the ribbon wrapped around their foreheads. The man in the middle stretched out his fingers and drew a line in front of his forehead.

Jiangnan shocked the two of them greatly, but for Luo Su, it was even more profound.

Typical Rockefeller style!

Luo Su and the other three arrived in front of Luo's Manor.

He was about to return to the house, and when he glanced casually, he was stunned.

Only people like Luo Su, who have lived in both eras, know how shocking this is.

People living in the current world cannot feel this little by little change.

Three holy marks appeared in front of him!

Forty percent of the taxes in Suzhou were paid by the Luo family. Almost every official who came to Suzhou to serve would come to visit the head of the Luo family.

next moment.

Even though the current head of the Luo family is just a Suzhou Biejia with an official rank below the fourth rank, even though he is a young man who has just been crowned.

There was a lot of excitement in front of the door at this moment. The master of the Luo family sent a group of people out. Judging from their clothing and accessories, those people were probably officials sent by the imperial court to be supervisors or governors.

Luo Xuanjing fiddled with the water with his slender hands, as if there were fish passing through his fingers.

They are here to find themselves.

But the Luo family is not very flashy. In the city of Suzhou, the Luo family has many mansions, or in other words, there is an entire city where the Luo family members and servants live.

When the greetings among the group in front of the door were about to end, the Suzhou governor got into the carriage and left. The head of the Luo family sighed slightly. There were rumors that the main branch of the Luo family had returned to the Central Plains. These people came to hear about it, but he didn't know it.

In the corner not far away, there were three people standing tall, a man whose age was incomprehensible, and a pair of handsome young girls.

The roads that were once rough and difficult to navigate have been smoothed out and can accommodate a few horse-drawn carriages.

For him, the most shocking thing about this time in the world was to see that the land that was uninhabited and unsuitable for survival was filled with crops.

This is what he saw from the eyes of the three people.

If it is not such a sacred thing, how can it have so many kinds of divine powers?

quiet!

silence!

Deathly silence!

Luosu and the other three felt the gazes of those who were staring at them, calmly.

The head of the Luo family finally moved. He slowly moved step by step in front of Luo Su and the others, and looked at the stigmata again.

His body was extremely stiff and speechless. He felt as if he had been lying alone in the snowy night for nine cold days, but his heart was as hot as hot lava, burning his whole body red.

At this moment, he finally understood that the so-called feeling like being struck by lightning was not an exaggeration in the slightest.

He looked up at Zhan Zhan Qingming. It was still blue and clear that day, just like in the past. In this clear sky, a bolt of lightning struck him.

"Innocent Blue."

With difficulty, he lowered his gaze from the sky back to the three of them, and landed on the three sacred marks.

"Innocent blue, so beautiful, the stigmata is even more beautiful, right?"

Luo Xuanjing took a step forward, stood beside him, tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, and then saw him crying. The tears couldn't stop falling, just like the gurgling stream that never stopped. .

"Welcome to the south to the Central Plains.

Jiangnan Luo family, Luo Jingcheng, courtesy name Boli. "

Luo Jingcheng stopped his tears and saluted the three of them using the oldest Zhou etiquette.

"Luo Xuanye!"

"Luo Xuanjing!"

The two of them put away the smiles on their faces and bowed to Luo Jingcheng respectfully. Luo Jingcheng turned his eyes to Luo Su with obvious doubts on his face.

It is true that there is a holy mark between the eyebrows, but this is a holy mark that has never been seen before, and what I just saw with my own eyes is that his holy mark can be concealed and is more advanced than the holy marks of Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye.

Who is this?

What happened to the direct line?

Luo Xuanjing said seriously: "Bo Li, do you know the prophecies spread in the world?

Luo Shen issued an edict and Duke Wen came to the world.

This is my Luo family’s ancestor from 1,500 years ago, our ancestor Wen Gong! "

Luo Jingcheng felt that he had encountered more things today than in the past twenty years. Even when he took over as the head of the Luo family in Jiangnan, he had never been so confused, but today it was really one after another.

First, the direct descendants of the Luo family suddenly appeared in front of him without any preparation.

I thought this was the most shocking thing, but now Luo Xuanjing, a direct descendant of the Luo family, told himself that a living ancestor was standing in front of him, and he was the kind that could not even be called by counting dozens of generations. The ancestors arrived. He knelt down almost instantly, banging his head three times, "Luo Jingcheng, the descendants of future generations, kowtow to our ancestors. May our ancestors live forever and live in peace forever."

Luo Xuanjing laughed out loud when she saw this. She recalled that when they first met Luo Su, he was similar to Luo Jingcheng now. His whole body was weak and he couldn't even stand up.

Luo Su helped Luo Jingcheng up. His forehead was already red. He gently patted the dirt on his body and said with a smile, "It doesn't have to be like this. Let's go inside and talk."

"Ancestor please!"

Luo Jingcheng didn't dare to go beyond the rules in the slightest, so he let Luo Su go first while he stayed by his side to guide them.

After walking into the manor, it suddenly became clear that the manor covers a huge area, even connected to a small hill, and contains many lakes in the Thousand Lakes. There are paths paved with bluestone slabs and green trees on both sides. Flowers and grass are flying.

In the courtyard, there are even small bridges and flowing water that can be seen in Suzhou City. Real mountains and rockery are everywhere, and the two of them feel like they are admiring a classical painting.

Luo Jingcheng introduced the three of them: "Forefathers, the family settled in the south of the Yangtze River and devoted themselves to the study of culture and literature. Nowadays, the literary works of the south of the Yangtze River are the best in the world. Most of these scenery are spread to the north. It is said that one scene is a scene at a time, and a painting is a step at a time. , using limited space to capture infinite beauty.”

Luo Xuanjing is so mesmerized by the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains that he never forgets to leave. The strange peaks and rocks used to create rockeries are all unique and unique, making people marvel at the magic of nature.

"After several generations of family efforts, today's Suzhou is the pearl of the south of the Yangtze River. It is the crown of all states in the south of the Yangtze River. The only one that can be compared with it is Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River. It was built by King Yang Guang of the Jin Dynasty. In the past, The construction of ancient capitals of various dynasties, after being devastated by war, is no longer as great as that of Suzhou and Yangzhou."

Luo Jingcheng's words were full of pride. In the years when the direct descendants of the Luo family were absent from the Central Plains, he was able to strictly abide by the various rules of the Luo family and develop the family to the present. This is the credit of the Jiangnan Luo family.

Luo Su looked at Luo Jingcheng, nodded slightly and said, "It's very hard."

When Luo Jingcheng heard this, he was silent for a moment and replied in a low voice: "It's not hard work. We are only able to be where we are today because of the family's former reputation. What's the point of hard work?"

Luo Su patted him on the shoulder, and the group walked around a corridor before entering the main hall. Luo Jingcheng placed Luo Su on the throne, and then he, Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye sat on another chair. , Luo Jingcheng asked: "Ancestor, do you need me to call the rest of the family here now?

Your coming into the world is a big event and deserves to be celebrated by the whole family. We have been silent for too long, and we are flying like a storm! "

Luo Su stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "There's no hurry.

The three of us came to Jiangnan this time to see how the descendants of our family in the world are doing.

There are no changes.

It's not easy for you. In a chaotic situation, you can survive until now and let the world still know the name of the Luo family.

Now that I see you are doing well, I feel relieved. "

Hearing these words, Luo Jingcheng already felt bad, and as expected, Luo Su immediately said: "I will leave the Central Plains for at least a few years, or even return ten years later. If the news is spread widely, there is no need. It's just adding some inappropriate words.

The gods of the Luo clan in the south of the Yangtze River will all be sent to Winter City in the future after the entire family returns to the south, and will be moved along with the other gods. There is the god of Luo Chu in Winter City. Your lineage will follow suit. arrangement.

It has not changed for two hundred years, and the people's hearts are as majestic as Mount Tai and as long as the Yellow River. This is the honor you deserve. "

Luo Su has a very high opinion of Jiangnan Luo Shi. People's hearts can change. It is extremely difficult for Luo Shi to stick to his heart. Just looking at Luo Shi's current situation, you know how much he has paid.

Luo Jingcheng's hand on the chair was held and unclenched, and he said with joy and sadness: "Old ancestor, what the Jiangnan Luo family has been thinking about these years is to wait for the family to return to the south and return to the family. For this reason, the family A lot of preparations were made.

Even though our ancestors are about to travel far away again, please let me introduce it to you.

According to legend, there is an artifact in the hands of the direct descendants, which has the power of Xumi mustard seeds. If it is true, please ask the ancestors to take away those things that are inconvenient to store.

It is really difficult to save these things if they are left in the family. They have been lost and damaged quite a bit over the years. "

The Jiangnan Luo family has collected a lot of good things over the years, especially during the Liang Dynasty. At that time, the Luo family frantically collected calligraphy, paintings, utensils, and ancient books.

These objects with cultural value can literally fill an entire warehouse.

Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing were both shocked by Jiangnan Luo's collection. Of course, this does not mean that the main branch is not as good as here. This is different. Those are the things that the main branch has collected for countless years, but this is what Jiangnan Luosu collected alone. of.

The Jiangnan Luo family's collection has almost made up for the gap of the main branch of the Luo family in the past two hundred years. The history that happened in these two hundred years can be revealed bit by bit with the history of Qing Dynasty when the fortune is sufficient, but those cultural relics are... Meet the unexpected.

Once damaged, there is nothing you can do to save it.

"My ancestors, when the Yinghou lineage was destroyed, they brought all their collections to Jiangnan.

We have carefully collected those things. These things also have the credit of Yinghou's lineage. "

Luo Jingcheng pointed to one part and said to Luo Su, with nostalgia in his tone. The fate of the Jiangnan Luo family was at least better than that of the Yinghou line. The Yinghou line was destined to perish with the fall of the Han Dynasty.

Luo Su once knew the history of the Luo family in the next thousand years and understood the lofty status of the Yinghou. He walked to the bookshelf and reached out to touch it. There was no dust in front of the bookshelf. He saw that it was wiped frequently, "It's all the glory of the Luo family." , are all good men and women who should be recorded in history books."

Luo Su scanned the entire quiet room. He slowly raised his hand and glanced around. The items placed on the bookshelf disappeared one by one in front of Luo Jingcheng's eyes. His eyes widened. Looking at this scene, I was shocked. The rumors were indeed true. There really was such an artifact in the family, an artifact called Xumi Mustard Seed.

When the last piece of calligraphy and painting was about to be put into the ring, Luo Su stopped. He walked over to take it off and looked at it carefully. Luo Jingcheng said proudly: "Old ancestor, this is known as the best running script in the world." "The Preface to the Lanting Collection", countless people in the world wanted this calligraphy, even when the King of Jin came to ask for it, I didn't give it to him."

Luo Su looked at the flying and phoenix-shaped words and could almost see how free and unrestrained the person who wrote these words must be. "Sure enough, these words are good. Keep them in the family first. When your child is born, then give this text to others." He has collected the treasures of your generations for him, what should I do to repay you for your contribution?"

Luo Jingcheng was a little anxious when he heard this, and immediately said: "Ancestor, we did this voluntarily, not for family rewards. The Jiangnan Luo family is a branch of the Luo family, and we always understand what is the root."

When Luo Su heard this, he smiled and said: "Since you said that you are from the Luo clan, you should know that the family has always been generous with rewards for meritorious members of the clan. In history, there have even been cases where a son who was not the head of the family succeeded him more than once. The position of head of the family.

Do you really not want a reward?

Don't you want to hear what I want to give you? "

Luo Jingcheng said categorically: "As long as you can return to the family, this is the best reward. You really don't need anything else."

When Luo Su heard this, he thought to himself and said playfully: "You seemed to have said that you didn't have a wife just now. I remember that there are many daughters of the right age in the clan. Xuan Ye, how many of your sisters are of the right age for marriage?

I want to marry Bo Li, is that possible? "

Luo Xuanye, a cold-faced person, couldn't help but suppress the trembling smile at the corner of his mouth and said: "Reporting to our ancestors, marriage within the clan is the tradition of our Luo family. Brother Boli has already been in the fifth service, so naturally he can marry the direct descendants. Girl, his descendants will possess the stigmata and return to the embrace of King Su completely."

what?

Luo Jingcheng was dumbfounded. He never expected that such a thing would happen. Is it too late to regret it now?

He really doesn't need any rewards, glory or wealth. If he needs it, he can go to the Sui Dynasty to be an official now. With Luo's reputation, he can quickly become famous.

But he didn't care about any of those things.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the stigmata!

That's the stigmata!

Even if he cannot possess the stigmata, if he becomes the husband of the legitimate daughter of the Luo family and gives birth to an heir with the stigmata, his status in the Luo family will be almost the same as that of a person with the stigmata. According to legend, he can even be promoted to the top. Tianjie went to meet King Su.

Almost instantly, he was scratching his head in a hurry, and now he regretted what he just said.

Luo Xuanjing couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw this. She had been with Luo Su, the ancestor, for so many years, and she had long understood what his ancestor was like.

Like every elder of the Luo family, he is very cold and even a little inhumane in front of outsiders, but in front of his family, he is very kind and even feels a bit like an old naughty boy.

Along the way, the ancestor would tease himself and Fifth Brother from time to time. When he was at Li Yuan's place, the ancestor suddenly teased Luo Xuanye, and now he started teasing Luo Jingcheng again. This was because the ancestor regarded Luo Jingcheng as one of his own. Performance.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, holding Luosu's arm and said: "Old ancestor, brother Boli is already so anxious that his head is smoking. Please stop teasing him. Brother Boli should marry an older sister. I think the third sister will Very good, knowledgeable and courteous."

Luo Xuanye's face was cold, but he complained: "A Jing, what you are saying is like none of the women of my Luo family know how to learn and be polite."

Without the blessing of the ancestors, the direct descendants of the Luo family have no guaranteed talent, which indeed has a great impact on the family. This is why after Luo Su appeared, he was eager to find a reliable dynasty for the Luo family to bind to in order to gain a lot of information. s reason.

He wants to restart the ancestral blessing!

Even though he didn't know that thing was called ancestral blessing, he knew that a guarantee mechanism that consumed a lot of resources had disappeared, which led to the decline of Luo's talents.

However, even if the talents are withering, as long as they have education to support them, they will not be too bad, especially for women who are not too demanding. Knowing the book and being polite is enough to surpass most people.

Luo Xuanjing looked at Luo Jingcheng and smiled and said: "Brother Bo Li, I have three sisters and three aunts, all of whom are well-educated and polite. Needless to say, their appearance is no worse than mine. When the time comes, I will return to Winter City. , to say goodbye to you, I will definitely treat you as the best in heaven and on earth.

When you get married, you must be nice to them.

You know, if you are not from the Luo family, it is almost impossible to marry a Luo family girl. "

Of course Luo Jingcheng knew that since Huo Qubing, no girl with a different surname had ever married a Luo girl. Either they didn't marry, or they were married within the clan. As a Luo girl who was born close to the gods, in this regard, she was not the same as the Luo girl. Totally different.

Luo Su looked at Luo Xuanjing and talked eloquently, even patting his chest to assure Luo Jingcheng, with an expression of leaving it to me, and then smiled and said leisurely: "I think you are very good, A Jing, and Bo Li is very good." If they match, why don't I make a marriage agreement for you two today?

Then send a letter to Winter City for the spirit soldiers to take back and inform your parents. "

what?

Luo Xuanjing didn't expect that there was something of his own in this. Luo Xuanye still had a cold face, but his eyes narrowed slightly. He recalled that when Li Xiuning was there, Luo Xuanjing smiled and said to himself that he wanted to have one more sister-in-law. .

As the old saying goes, who will God spare?

This is really true, who did our ancestors spare?

----

There are two strange things about marriage in the Luo family. One is intra-clan marriage, which means that the clans of the five robes are united and become pure blood; the other is one-wife marriage, which means that there is no concubine and there is no distinction between concubine and concubine. ——"Luo's Grand View"
