Fu Song

Chapter 24 Luo Jia Saburo
Mrs. Luo frowned and looked at Luo Gang, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes in front of her.

Three sons, only this youngest, is not a worry.

The eldest Luo Yi, a [-]-year-old jinshi, has now passed the sentence of Shangzhou, and if he goes one step further, he can govern a state.

The second eldest, Luo Shao, is slightly worse. He is a [-]-year-old jinshi. Now he has already made a county decree. Last year, the evaluation was high. After a year of grinding and taking a step forward, it is also expected.

Only this third child, who is already nineteen this year, is still just a scholar.Next year's Juren examination, listening to the tone of his own officials, I'm afraid it will be a little off, not to mention the Jinshi examination that follows closely after the Juren examination, that's no need to think.

Mrs. Luo still trusts the eyesight of her officials and the accuracy of knowing people. Whether the eldest and the second can take the test at that time, her officials are all in one word.

This son's talent is not bad. At the beginning, he was even smarter than the eldest and the second.But the bad thing is that he is the youngest.

Ever since he was a child, his parents have spoiled him, and his brothers have let him go. Holding him in his mouth up and down is afraid of melting, and holding him in the palm of his hand is afraid of losing it. As long as he wants, there is nothing he can't get.

After all these years, I have finally developed a playful vibe. Eating, drinking, and having fun is first-class. When I started learning, I spent three days fishing and two days drying the net.

Is it a falsehood to study?Not to mention the head hanging, the beam, the cone and the thorn, at least the word seriousness is always required, but this young man can't even do the word seriousness, how can he read the name.

Seeing that this son was about to be abolished, Luo Song was so anxious that he even started to teach Luo Gang himself, but it still had little effect.The year before last year, Duke Bao invited Master Cen, the famous teacher of the capital, to the clan, and Luo Song hurried to reserve a seat, which was regarded as a dead horse as a living horse doctor.If even Master Cen is helpless, that's all.

In fact, by now, Luo Song has almost become disheartened.

He even took the initiative to comfort the old wife who was remorseful. The boss and the second child are all promising. I'm afraid it will be difficult to accompany the old couple in the future. .

Anyway, with his status as Luo Song, there is no problem at all to get his son a free official who does nothing.

In the capital, it is also good to find any yamen, take an idle job, get a salary, and then perform filial piety in front of the two elders.The three sons, if they all hoped for success, would be too greedy. It would be good to leave one to guard the home and guard the door.

But who knew that yesterday, this uneasy young son didn't know where he came back from drinking, so he found Luo Song, swearing and swearing that he would not be a jinshi and would never marry a wife, but Luo Songke was startled.

His family knew his own affairs, and with Luo Song's literary attainments, of course, he knew Luo Gang's current level. If he wanted to become a jinshi, he was afraid that the sun would come out from the west.But it was obvious that Luo Gang was not talking drunk when he was drunk, but was talking about it very seriously, so he could only find his own wife and plan to persuade the young son who suddenly became stubborn.

When Mrs. Luo heard it, her first reaction was that her son didn't want to get married at all, and wanted to be out in the wild for a few years.The second reaction was that the son looked down on the girl of the Xiao family and wanted to find an excuse to do so.

Immediately, he shivered with anger.

In the past few years, the future has been mixed up, and I still don't know how to converge.As for the second point, the girl of the Xiao family, others don't know, but she has inquired clearly.

Although she is only twelve years old, she is definitely the best choice among all the young ladies in the circle of the capital.Talent and looks are rare.Moreover, the mother is a young lady from the Han family in Xinyang, so there is nothing to say about her upbringing.Two days ago, I made an excuse to go to the door and met the little girl in person. Mrs. Luo was very satisfied.

She was still worried that the Xiao family would not look down on her young son.

If the eldest and the second, go to propose to someone by yourself, your head must be held up.

But this third child, his stubborn head had to be lowered.

The third young lady of the Xiao family, that is the direct daughter. Although the Xiao family is not a scholarly family, it has lasted for three generations. Xiao Yu is even more popular now, and the second son of the Xiao family, who in the capital does not know that the jinshi came from a family of hands. Take a grip.

Such a family is about to go a step further.

Madam she, she is afraid that people will look down on her unsatisfactory son.

Although others still agreed to this matter in the end, just waiting for her own matchmaker to come to the door to discuss it, but Mrs. Luo didn't think it was her own ability.

The Xiao family agreed. First of all, Xiao Yuzheng wanted to turn his family's status to the top of the scholarly family, and marrying someone like the Luo family would naturally increase his reputation.Secondly, the official of his own family is the prime minister of the East Mansion, and his two sons were born in the jinshi. Needless to say, the future is a promising prospect for several generations.

Now that everything is ready, the only thing she owes is Dongfeng. She really didn't expect that this little girl in her family would actually make trouble.

At that moment, Madam Luo was trembling with anger, and she trained Luo Gang with a dog-blood sprayer.

The aggrieved Luo Gang swore and swore that he would never admit his mother's accusations.

This made the old couple very strange. Seeing that Luo Gang was talking about him, he blushed and refused to tell the truth. Luo Song, who had always had a good temper at home, was finally very angry and asked for the family law directly.This frightened Luo Gang to tell the truth.

The old couple, who knew the real reason, looked at each other.

Is it because the third lady of the Xiao family is too strong?
"Sir, mother, my son is a man after all, and he needs face. If the wife you marry in the future is far superior to the child in education, how can the child be a man?" Luo Gang said aggrievedly: "I really don't want to be a jerk outside. It's not because I don't like the third lady of the Xiao family, my son really wants to fight."

The old couple stared at each other for a while, and then Mrs. Luo said suspiciously: "Isn't the Erlang of the Xiao family exaggerating? He is the elder brother, and looking at his own sister is naturally very good, just like a mother looking at you. , even if you're a bastard, doesn't mother still think you're nice?"

Speaking of which, Mrs. Luo's eyes turned red.

Luo Gang's eyes were also red. Speaking of which, over the years, his mother has wiped his own buttocks, I don't know how much, otherwise, my ass would be smashed by my father.

"No, mother. I know Chongwen, he is very arrogant, and he has a lot to say and never makes a fool of himself. My son is better than Chongwen in terms of his studies. Sister, can a woman compare? The son is determined to fight for this. Please mother and adults, agree to this request of the son. "

"Son, you have to think about it clearly, if you spread this oath, it will be known all over the capital. Once you go back on it, don't say that you are going to be a laughing stock, even your father will not be able to hold his head up. ." Mrs. Luo had no confidence in her son's level.

"If my son does not become a jinshi in the future, he will never marry the little lady of the Xiao family." Luo Gang said firmly.

"Daughter's family is easy to swear, although the little lady of the Xiao family is only twelve years old this year, how many years can she wait for you? How could the Xiao family allow you to delay his daughter's life!"

"Xiao Chongwen and his son made a bet, and the three subjects shall prevail. That is to say, within seven years, if the son does not become a jinshi, the marriage will be over. By that time, the little lady of the Xiao family will be no more than nineteen." Luo Gang Road. "The son is only twenty-six. If he is not at twenty-six, the son will go home and farm."

The lady of the Luo family still wanted to persuade, but Luo Song on the side was rubbing her palm and laughing, "My son has ambition, since you have such ambition, then being a father will fulfill you, this matter is settled like that. Xiao Yu. There, go and share with him for my father. But Yuting, a manly man, he will do what he says."

"Thank you sir!" Luo Gang was overjoyed.

When Luo Gang left, Mrs. Luo was unhappy.

"Official man, it's clearly that Xiao Chongwen from the Xiao family looked down on our Yuting, and deliberately tricked him into taking this bet! Xiao Chongwen is simply deceiving people too much!"

Luo Song shook his head and said, "No matter what the Erlang of the Xiao family has in mind, this matter, in general, is a good thing. Over the years, we have tried so hard that we haven't pulled the rain pavilion down. Come here, if because of this incident, he will come to his sense of repentance and strive to make progress, so that he has not made a sound for three years and is a blockbuster, then Xiao Jia Erlang is the great benefactor of Yuting. If Yuting really wants to be a jinshi in the three subjects, then It’s the old man, and I must go to salute the Erlang of the Xiao family with a glass of wine to show my gratitude.”

Once Luo Song made a decision, Mrs. Luo knew that it was settled.Although I am not happy in my heart, this is also a matter of no other way, and I can only go in a good direction.Fortunately, in seven years, it can be long or short. It really takes seven years. Luo Gang won a jinshi. Thank goodness. But there are six in twenty, and it is not too late for a man to stand at thirty.

Today, Luo Song is going to the morning morning once every five days, and Mrs. Luo also got up very early. After sending Luo Song away, she heard someone come to report that Luo Gang had also woken up early, and was in her study. reading.

Usually, this kid always has to sleep until the sun rises, and it seems that he has really changed his mind.

But the joy didn't last long when Luo Gang ran to report again, saying that he was going out.

Is it really a fever for a while?I just read a book in the morning, can't I stand it?At that time, the eldest and the second, which one did not study hard for more than ten years?

"Mother, it's not that the child has retreated, but Xiao Chongwen sent someone to say that he found a good article and wanted to discuss it with his son. Chongwen's talent and learning are far better than mine. He said that if it is a good article, it must be excellent. "Luo Gang defended.

"I also heard about the Erlang of the Xiao family. He is very talented and self-disciplined. Since he came to find you, he should go. It seems that he is also afraid of delaying his sister's life." Mrs. Luo snorted. He said in a single voice, "If you want to come here, the elders in his family also know about it, and he must be scolded. Now he knows how to remedy it. Go, go and learn from the Erlang of the Xiao family. Your father, you always talk about it. The Erlang of the Xiao family is also full of praise!"

"Thank you, mother, the child is gone!"
