Chapter 570 Avalokitesvara Maid
Li Xiuning helped her husband knead her shoulders and neck with just the right strength. She was a female hero who had learned martial arts and did not give it to men's skills to ride and shoot.
"When will you go back outside the pass?"
"It's about the first month of the year."
"Then I'll go with you."
Luo Cheng turned his head and saw that she didn't seem to be joking, "The climate over there is not very good."
"It's not that I haven't been there. You forgot that I have served as a captain under my father's command and led troops to participate in the Battle of New City."
"I almost forgot that Sanniang, you are still a female general. But what should I do if my child is? Zhewei is still young."
Li Xiuning said, "Just take it with you. If you go outside the customs, I don't want to stay in Luoyang all day. Mrs. Dan doesn't like me very much."
Luo Cheng smiled bitterly, and Shan Binbin told him that Li Xiuning was arrogant and looked down on her. These women.
"If you really want to go, that's fine."
Shan Binbin is the legitimate wife, and she and Luo Cheng's legitimate son Jiawen have to stay in Luoyang. This is a rule. The border officials and border commanders must keep their wives and children in Beijing, and be considered hostages. However, you can take a concubine while in office, or take the concubine directly there.
Li Xiuning said again, "Jiancheng said he wanted to return to Beijing and was not willing to stay outside the pass."
"Let him." Luo Cheng said indifferently. He knew Li Jiancheng better. Perhaps he was too young now. After all, he was just in his early twenties, so he was not mature enough in his manners. In Liaodong, Luo Cheng also intended to temper the Li brothers, but Li Jiancheng always disappointed him. It was not that he was incompetent, but that he was not right and always thought about it in a wrong way.
For example, in the last assassination case, Li Jiancheng, the brother-in-law, not only did not have a common mind with the Liaodong army, but also seemed to be in a gloating situation.
It’s useless to keep such a person. If you want to leave, leave.
"Is Shimin leaving too?"
"He didn't say that Shimin is actually quite stubborn. I heard that he is on your side, so it seems that he is not very happy? You said you are his brother-in-law, so why don't you take care of him?"
Luo Cheng smiled and said, "It is precisely because I am his brother-in-law that I specially sharpened him. After all, the sword is sharpened by itself. If you want to become a talent, you must forge and polish it well. Otherwise, how can you become a talent? If you just indulge it, then it will be another Yu Culture in the future."
"It's true, but although you are kind-hearted, you have to make it clear to him sometimes, otherwise he would think you were deliberately punishing him."
"Actually, Erlang is capable and has a firm personality, but sometimes he is a little too paranoid. I welcome him if he is willing to stay in Liaodong. However, you also tell him to be honest, that is, I am his brother-in-law, otherwise if someone else is his boss, who will bear his bad temper?"
"He is still young, only sixteen years old." Sanniang said with a smile, "Shimin is not young anymore. I think our fifth sister is about the same age as the marriage. Otherwise, what if Shimin marrys the fifth sister?"
When Li Xiuning said this, he really scared Luo Cheng. He had never thought about this. My younger sister was six years younger than him. He was twenty-two after the Chinese New Year, and my younger sister was almost sixteen.
If he was still in the countryside of Zhangqiu, the 16-year-old country girl must have been engaged or even married, and maybe her children would be crawling all over the ground.
But the Luo family has changed too quickly in recent years, so they neglected their younger sister's marriage.
Or maybe it will be high or low or high for a while.
He didn't notice that the thin and weak little girl movies in the past have now become ladies.
Li Shimin is eighteen this year and his younger sister is sixteen. They are quite suitable for their age.
"I heard that Erlang was going to marry the girl from the Changsun family?"
"Don't mention it. At first, the emperor originally thought of Zhongshimin and wanted to recruit him to become Princess Yun's son-in-law, but later, for some reason, this matter disappeared. Then, my father found a girl from the Changsun family for him."
This girl from the Changsun family is the daughter of Changsun Sheng, who once killed two birds with one stone. This Changsun Sheng represented the Zhou and Sui dynasties and served on Turks many times over the past 20 years. She was an excellent diplomat and a sharpshooter. He was also a royal family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he had passed away in the fifth year of Daye.
Miss Yuwen is the daughter of Changsun Sheng Xuxian's wife. His original wife gave birth to three sons and four daughters for him. Later, Yuan Pei died and married Gao Ji, the daughter of Le'an, Northern Qi, and gave birth to another boy and a girl.
Miss Changsun’s nickname is Guanyin Bi. Her father passed away when she was eight years old. Then the brothers of the Changsun family drove their mothers and three out of the house.
The Changsun clan was the leader of the Northern Wei royal family, so when Emperor Xiaowen reformed, he was given the surname Changsun. As a royal family, from the Northern Wei to the Sui Dynasty, the Changsun clan was a family of bells and tripods, and his family was born in the mountains and rivers.
The Gao family was a royal family in the Northern Qi Dynasty. When Changsun Sheng married Gao, it was also a marriage between two famous families. However, as soon as he died, the son of Yuan Pei, who was an adult in the family, could not tolerate his stepmother and half-sister, so he rushed back to the Gao family.
Miss Changsun’s uncle Gao Shilian was an official in Honglu Temple and was also very talented.
Unfortunately, Yang Xuangan rebelled before, and the Minister of War, Hu Sizheng, defected. Gao Shilian and Hu Sizheng were in-laws and had close contacts. Therefore, they were implicated and demoted to the next county in Jiaozhi County as chief clerk.
Li Yuan is a bit like a little bit higher and lower.
Before, I married Li Jiancheng, and chose the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, one of the five surnames and seven families. Then I chose the wife for the second child. Of course, I also wanted to choose a daughter from a famous family to help my marriage. At first I wanted Princess Shang, but later I didn’t, so I looked forward to the Changsun family.
When Gao was demoted, Li Yuan hesitated again.
Originally, Miss Changsun was driven out by the Changsun family, but now her uncle Gao Shilian has been demoted from Jiaozhi again. I don’t know if there is still a chance to return to the Central Plains.
In Li Yuan's opinion, this relative has no value.
Now Li Yuan has taken a fancy to Luo Cheng's sister again and feels that the Luo family is at its peak. Although the third lady has married Luo as a concubine, if she can let the second brother marry the Luo family's daughter, it would be more kinship.
"Is Guanyin Bi thirteen years old this year?" Luo Cheng asked.
"Yeah, yes."
"Didn't Erlang get engaged to her?"
"No, my father had some intentions before, but he hadn't signed a marriage contract yet."
"Miss Changsun has not yet been engaged to other families?" Luo Cheng asked again.
Li Xiuning turned to look at her husband, "Why do you care so much about this Changsun girl? Could it be that you also heard that Miss Changsun is beautiful?"
"Is Miss Changsun beautiful?"
"Well, I've seen that girl, she is really beautiful, especially at a young age, she is very smart and gentle. She will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future."
"Then won't you marry the Li family?"
"My father disagrees."
Li Xiuning asked her husband, "Why, do you fall in love with this Changsun girl? If you really like it, I can help you go to the Gao family to ask. I know their female relatives."
"What did you say?"
"What's the matter? If you like it, you like it. Anyway, you men like beautiful concubines. You don't only have me and Cui, but also the Red Line Girl, and the Lin sisters. I also heard that there are several Goguryeo concubines in Liaodong."
"That's just a foot warmer." Luo Cheng laughed. When he was alone in Liaodong, there would definitely be times when he needed it.
"I know, and I understand, so, if you really like Miss Changsun, then just take it into your house. In fact, Miss Changsun is also a pitiful person. She was kicked out of the house at the age of eight and lived in her uncle's house. Life is not easy. If you really want to arrive at our Duke of Chu's mansion, it may not be a good thing."
"I didn't expect that you still have the potential to be a matchmaker."
"Okay, I'll leave this to me. I'll go to the Gao family tomorrow."
Luo Cheng laughed and didn't take it seriously, but he did not agree to the Li family's desire to marry the fifth sister, "I have to consider the matter with my father again."
