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 to 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 him in the imperial city almost every day. I, he will speak for the old lady."
The old woman said: "Thank you, the official family for taking care of my old Luo's 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 lightly, but he gave Luo's mother a direct way to the sky, which is not at all light.
Yang Biao immediately said: "I will treat Yang Biao as a son from now on!"
Guo Shao saw some people kneeling on the ground, and 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 like that now. She has the identity of Mrs. Tokyo is a veritable lady.
Guo Shao said to Mrs. Luo, "Soup Cake Xi Shi," "General Luo was on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition and died for our 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's a matter of course to go to battle."
She said what she said in public was decent, 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 noblewoman. She seemed to notice Guo Shao was watching her, so she pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered: "The concubine is waiting for the official Here, I forgot to change clothes in a hurry, just like this, it’s a bit embarrassing..."
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, Yang Biao, Jingniang and others crossed the threshold.
At this moment, suddenly an old woman in common clothes rushed over from the roadside, 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 turned around and bent her knees hurriedly: "Officials, my child has climbed up to the pavilion. What should I do if I am afraid of falling? Go and see..."
Guo Shao said, "Let's go together too."
He was also a little worried. If Luo Mengzi's son had a long and two shortcomings, then he would be unable to explain to him in the spirit of heaven.
After that, Yang Biao and 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 were in a hurry, and the Luo family's old lady grabbed the old woman: "What do you look at, how did he climb so high?"
The old woman burst into tears in a hurry: "I just went to do some other work, and when I turned my back, Xiao Langjun climbed up! There is a circle of hemp rope here, and he must take the rope around his ankle and follow it. Climbing 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 time, Guo Shao had already 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 looking up, some stretched out their arms.
Mrs. Luo wanted to speak but stopped, with a worried look on her face. Guo Shao encouraged: "Little Mengzi, your father is not as timid as you."
The kid is 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 in one fell swoop 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 kindly: "At this height, I can't miss it."
Mrs. Luo hurriedly fell to her knees: "Your descent from sin."
"Fine." Guo Shao said, "I still 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.
This subtle movement was not noticed by others, and everyone did not dare to 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 is still thinking about saying something in his heart. In his heart, he is sincere to the Luo family, but in fact there is nothing to say. Today is just to express his attitude.
He was speechless for a moment, 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 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 is too poor, Guo Shao will lose face.
Guo Shao sighed immediately: "It is really my fault to let General Luo, a loyal general like his country, live here."
Mrs. Luo finally tasted the taste, and said with embarrassment: "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 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 it. Some belongings are just gifts from the queen."
Guo Shao had to borrow the name of the queen, because he was the emperor, so he didn't give a gift privately. 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, the concubine body dare not accept..."
Guo Shao said: "That's the Queen's mind. Madam does not have to refuse, and ten thousand coins are not much."
Rove’s tongue is a bit unfavorable for the ropeway: "There are many, many, except for the husband, who would give us a penny for nothing..."
Guo Shao didn’t say a word here, he thought, soup cake Xi Tzu is still a woman who can tell, most of the words in the scene are still considered decent, but from time to time he still has to say something like a small family, after all, the time for wealth is still not long.
Of course he wouldn't mention this, and he said a few other things right now, which changed the topic.
The old lady of the Luo family was talking and nagging, "Dalang (Luo Mengzi) talked about the official family the most when he was alive. When the official family was not the emperor, he devoted all his attention to you. His eldest brother is closer than his old man."
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 his 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. To kill the enemy is to work with 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 says so much... …"
Guo Shao said: "I would love to listen to Luo Mengzi's life."
Mrs. Luo looked at Guo Shao with blinking eyes and blurted out: "We heard that the emperor was going to the door before, and we felt light on our faces, but we were really scared... I don't want the officials to be like this..."
Guo Shao turned to look at her, and when she finished speaking, she had no words.
He sat for a while, feeling that it was almost done, so he got up and said: "I won't stay much."
Mrs. Luo hurriedly said: "The officials have free time, so come and sit at home..."
Guo Shao said after listening: "For Chinese New Year, if there is a banquet in the palace, the old lady and Mrs. Luo will be invited to the banquet, and it will be more lively."
After he said, he gave his hand to the old lady, and said hurriedly: "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 said for a moment, "By the way, I haven't met General Yang's wife yet. I remember that you have already married?"
Yang Biao said: "I became a family when I was a teenager, and my wife is dead."
"We still have to continue the string and have a son." Guo Shao said, "I want you to meet virtuous ladies and ask the queen to match you."
Yang Biao hurriedly said: "A little personal matter, I dare not worry about your majesty|heart."
Guo Shao took it as kind words. The rain was still falling, and the water droplets on the curtains splashed into the car while shaking.
