Chapter 217 The situation of the Luo family
Chapter 217: The situation of the Luo family
Yiwu County was a large county that was formed by Wuxiao and Huachuan counties in the seventh year of Wude. It covers a wide area and is now under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate Gongsun Hannan. The ruler has been stable and peaceful.
"This Gongsun Hannan has a very good background. I heard that he was the adopted son of General Gongsun Wuda in the court. For some reason, he came to Yiwu as an official, and he stayed there for three years." Luo Binwang sent his second brother to the inner room to play and spoke to Liu Yi-Yi's situation in the county. When talking about the county magistrate Gongsun Hannan, he couldn't help but show a little sourness on his face.
At the age of 18, he could be the county magistrate of a large county like Renyiwu, which is closely related to his background.
Luo Binwang felt a little disdainful, but more of it was the kind of helplessness that he could not eat grapes and said that the grapes were sour.
Gongsun Hannan? Isn’t it the scholar brother that Gongsun Helan often mentioned? How could he be in this place? Liu Yiu took a sip of tea and gently curled the corners of his mouth. Unexpectedly, he could meet the son of an old friend of the Gongsun family thousands of miles away from home. I have to say that he and the Gongsun family are really destined to be together.
Touching the silver moon order that he had been carrying on him, Liu Yiu couldn't help but remember the description of Gongsun Helan for the past. He grew up in the General's Mansion, but he had no martial arts skills, and he was not infected with the habit of a martial artist. He only liked to speak literature in his life, and his talent was also good at learning. Such a person is definitely a freak in the General's Mansion. However, such a weak scholar was once the idol worshipped by Gongsun Helan.
It is said that Gongsun Helan likes to wear literary clothes and often tilts folding fans to show elegance, which originated from Gongsun Hannan.
He should have visited him, Liu Yiu glanced at Luo Binwang and made such a decision in his heart.
Even if he didn't want to do this apprentice, he came to Yiwu and knew where Gongsun Hannan was, and he should go and see the eldest master of the Gongsun family.
"My father has three cousins, uncle Luo Qing, third uncle Luo Shi, and fourth uncle Luo Liang." Seeing the tea bowl bottom, Luo Binwang stood up and poured a bowl for Liu Yiuan, and kept saying: "Uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle and three families, although the family is not wealthy, they are also free of food and clothing. In Luojiatang, Wushang City, he is also a landlord of three families. Ten years ago, when my father went to Bochang, Qilu to take over all the old and young people in the family, he verbally rented all the ten hectares of fertile land to these three cousins. At that time, the village chief He Dashan testified on the side."
"Because they are all their brothers, they did not leave any contracts and documents. In the following years, these three cousins were very regular. Every year, regardless of the distance, they exchanged the land rent for us for silver and money. Even after Hecun died of illness five years ago, this kind of thing never stopped." Luo Binwang put down the teapot, went out and sat back, saying: "I think now, I'm afraid they are all because of the official position of my father, so they dare not do anything."
"According to what you said, that village was dead, and there was no document at that time, and they had planted this place for ten years?" Liu Yiuan frowned slightly. Ten years could change a lot of things.
"How did Gongsun Ling County judge?" Liu Yiuan asked him again without waiting for Luo Binwang to answer.
"After my father's death, the student took his mother and second brother to drive his father's coffin back to his hometown. At the beginning, these three cousins were quite enthusiastic and helped the students together. Zhang Luozhi buried his father in the ancestral grave. When his father's funeral was over, the family's savings were almost gone, so the student remembered the ten hectares of land rented by these three cousins," Luo Binwang gently told Liu Yian about the scene after he returned from Bochang.
Denied it with ruthless defiance.
Some typical examples of betraying one's faith and forgetting one's righteousness and forgetting one's righteousness when you see profit.
However, this made Luo Binwang, who had always been smooth in life, suddenly blinded. From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen such a scoundrel, and these scoundrels were his cousins and uncles.
In anger, he filed a lawsuit and sued all his three cousins to the county government.
The result is also conceivable, without any evidence, how should he get up those lands? And at some point, the land deeds that had always been left in their homes, the only thing that could be used as evidence, also ran into the hands of the three cousins.
Although Gongsun Hannan saw some of the strange things, he had to deal with it in accordance with the law and rejected Luo Binwang's telling. This matter was left unresolved.
"Now, the students have figured it out too." Luo Binwang glanced at Liu Yiyi and said, "This is a headless case. All the evidence is in their hands. Even if the students sue the emperor, there will be no result. The master will not have to worry about it anymore. Moreover, no matter what, they are all elders of the students. If the students really win the case, they will inevitably be imprisoned, and the students do not want to be accused of being unfilial."
"After this year, as soon as my father's filial piety period is over, the students will go to the imperial examinations and take a job, and take my mother and second brother away from here. The road is gone is in vain." Luo Binwang spoke a little and said, "The year outside has made him mature a lot and he has a certain responsibility on his shoulders."
After looking at Luo Binwang, Liu Yi nodded gently. Luo Binwang had a good idea and was kind enough. However, doing this seemed to be a suspicion of escape, and Liu Yi did not agree in his heart.
"Since you want to leave, after you have something to do, you should take your family with your teacher to Sanyuan." Liu Yi tapped the table lightly and said to Luo Binwang: "Sanyuan is close to Chang'an. After being in contact with the talented scholars there for a long time, it will be of great benefit to your future career."
"Thank you for your kindness, but before the three years have passed, people are indispensable before my father's spiritual position, and the students can only let the master down." Luo Binwang respectfully gave Liu Yigu respectfully. He would remember Liu Yigu's treatment of him sincerely, but if he was asked to live under someone else's roof, he would not want to.
"In etiquette, the word filial piety is the first priority. This teacher is the only way to be a teacher," Liu Yiu saw the pride of the literati in Luo Binwang's heart, and then chuckled and said to him: "But if you have this plan in the future, you can go directly to Sanyuan to find a teacher. You are the first disciple of the teacher. You will be the teacher, and you will be the only way to stand by your affairs."
"Yes, Master, thank you for your compassion." Luo Binwang gave Liu Yip again, with endless gratitude on his face. He thought that he was a poor boy, but he was not successful and his reputation was not worthy. Liu Yip can value him so much, which made him grateful.
While talking, half an hour had passed. Luo Li and Zhang Chuchu had already prepared the meal in the kitchen. Together, they brought the meal to the living room and placed it on the square table where Liu Yimeng and them were.
"Mr. Liu, sister Chuchu, please sit down." Luo Li's cheeks were red, and reached out to give Liu Yi and Zhang Chuchu to the head seat, then bowed to Liu Yi and said, "The family is in a cold and poor place. But Mr. Liu still has to spend money on a meal, so that Mr. Liu and sister Chuchu laughed."
Liu Yi and his wife were so understanding, and they didn't bother with this situation at all, and could talk and laugh with them here. Luo Li was extremely grateful to them. Since Luo Luyuan passed away, no guests have come to their home for a long time.
"Madam Luo, please sit down. The family will not speak two families. Don't say such polite words again," Liu Yi waved his hand to Luo Li and said, "We don't need to pay attention to any etiquette, we are all casual, otherwise we will have no taste even when we eat."
After saying that, Liu Yiu ordered Luo Binwang again: "Am, go and find Baoer, let's start eating now."
Luo Binwang left and sat down, went into the inner room to find Luo Baoer. After Luo Li gave a gift to Liu Yi and his wife, he took a light look and sat down next to Zhang Chuchu.
Liu Yiu looked at the food on the table, including chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, pork, and five hearty home-cooked side dishes, which smelled fragrant.
"Woo!" Zhang Baoer, who came out of the inner room, looked at the food on the table with bright eyes and swallowed a sudden saliva. He glanced at his mother sitting beside him and asked softly: "Mom, is it the New Year today? Why are there so many delicious food?"
After hearing this, Luo Binwang's eyes felt sour. Haoxuan didn't cry. Judging from Luo Baoer's expression, they were afraid that they had never eaten such a good meal since the Chinese New Year.
Luo Binwang bent over and carried Luo Baoer to the chair next to the table, accused his master's wife, then picked up a small bowl and stewed him a bowl of chicken and pork, patted him on the head with pampering words: "Today is not the New Year, but today is a happy day. Baoer eats more."
"Yeah, thank you brother!" Luo Baoer happily took the bowl, picked up the meat inside, and ate it in big mouthfuls.
"Let Mr. Liu, sister Chuchu laugh." Luo Li looked at Baoer's celebrating and bowed to Liu Yi and Zhang Chuchu awkwardly.
"Sister Li doesn't have to do this. Seeing Baoer like this makes us think of the situation when we were young." Zhang Chuchu chuckled at Luo Li with kindness and said, "I remember when I was a child, my family was very poor. Every year, I only had the New Year to eat meat several times. At that time, my younger sister was like Baoer, very greedy."
Seeing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but remember the greasy performance of Liu Eryi and Liu Xiaohui on the dinner table during the Chinese New Year last year.
