Chapter 509 Come to congratulate

As the wedding day approaches, the butler Feng Zhong and his servants set up the courtyard and purchase goods, they almost renovated the mansion. According to their servant's thoughts, they were marrying the princess and the wife of the Luo family, and the eldest wife, so they attached great importance to it and did not dare to be careless at all.

Luo Rong and Luo Yi were sitting in carriages and traveling through the mansions of various wealthy families to deliver posts. The older generation of ministers often went to Mr. Luo, while in the middle-aged official's mansion, Luo Yi went to send invitations with a smile on his face, because the Luo family had jumped from a second-rate family to a first-class nobleman in the Sui Dynasty. All of this was because of Luo Zhaoyun's talent and made great achievements. This time, marrying a princess was a manifestation of honor.

When his family came, they talked about marriage and were completely represented by the elders. Luo Zhaoyun was idle and gathered with some young people to drink. Changsun Wuji, Xue Wanren, Mai Mengcai and others were not very different in age. He fought on the battlefield many times, gathering a deep affection. Therefore, the four of them drank a few times in a row and their relationship became deeper.

In the past few days, more and more people have come to visit Luo Zhaoyun. In addition to some nobles in Luoyang, some scholars from the Dongdu came to visit him. Because of the widespread printing of Luo Cheng's poetry and prose collections, the popular poetry and prose styles in the Imperial College have to make seven-character quatrains to learn from "Luo Cheng". However, few people have written masterpieces that can be compared.

What surprised Luo Zhaoyun was that Gao Biaoren, son of Gao Biao and He Ruobi, son of He Ruohuaiku, also brought gifts to him and wanted to give them before the wedding, because both families were demoted and exiled and dismissed for the people. It was not convenient for them to appear on the wedding day.

Luo Zhaoyun left the two of them and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Gao, General He, can you be safe now?"

Gao Biaoren bowed and said, "When my father returned to General Luo, he was entrusted with Lingnan after a long journey. He was depressed and his health was no longer as good as before. However, he was grateful for General Luo's righteous words and saved the Gao family. Although he was exiled, at least he did not have the disaster of extermination."

He Ruohuaigu also sighed: "The same is true for my father. The family went to the southwest border. They were not adapted to the local conditions and grew old very quickly, but they did not lose their lives. It can be considered as having their hands off and returning to their fields and living their lives."

"Both are both people who read the scriptures and learn books, and have a profound family knowledge. They are in remote places, and their pearls are covered with dust. I wonder if they are willing to become an official?" Luo Zhaoyun asked.

Gao Biaoren and He Ruohuaikuo were all happy when they heard this. In fact, they traveled thousands of miles to submit gifts. They also hoped that they could use Luo Cheng to have a chance to re-enter the officialdom, because he is now in a high position and is about to become a son-in-law and a first-rank official. If anyone in the Sui Dynasty could help the two families speak, then Luo Cheng would definitely be the most qualified one.

"My two families have lost the favor of the emperor and have been deposed as official positions. Is there still a chance to re-use them?"

"At present, civil strife in various places, the court is also employed. I will find an opportunity to apply to the emperor and hire an employee in an extraordinary manner. However, it may take until after the wedding. During this period, I will find someone to arrange it for you to find a house for you to live in. For the time being, I will be considered a guest of my Luo family for the time being." Luo Zhaoyun wanted to keep the two, but not to recommend it to the court, but to keep it for himself.

"Then thank you General Luo." The two of them burst into tears, feeling that they had a great chance of re-entering the officialdom, and their faces were full of joy.

………….

On the eve of the wedding, Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie rushed to Dongdu with a generous gift. There was a gift from generals such as Zhang Xutuo and others to send it to Luo Zhaoyun.

"Greetings to Duke You!" Qin and Cheng bowed and bowed.

"General Qin, who is this?"

Qin Qiong said respectfully: "Return to the country, this is under General Zhang Xutuo's tent, so that the general Cheng Zhijie will serve as the same position as me, and belongs to the life and death robbery, jointly suppressing the riots in the area of ​​Lu and Hebei. Today, I will come to congratulate the Duke and bring you the wishes of General Zhang and the lower-class people. Although the gift is light, please accept it with a smile."

It turned out to be Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world. Luo Zhaoyun was shocked because this young man was not a rough man with a big beard in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, nor was he the same age as Qin Qiong. He looked square-faced and big-eared, with a wide forehead, a dark face, and a dignified appearance. He was definitely only thirty years old, and was at least fifteen years younger than Qin Qiong.

According to historical records, Cheng Zhijie was a descendant of aristocratic families. His great-grandfather was named Cheng Xing. He was Sima of Yanzhou, Northern Qi, Cheng Zhe, Sima of Jinzhou, Northern Qi, and his father was Cheng Lou. He was Dazhongzheng of Jizhou, Northern Qi, and he was called a nobleman. However, in the Sui Dynasty, no one of the family entered the officialdom and declined from then on. However, he was also considered a rich local gentry.

Luo Zhaoyun signaled to Cheng Zhi's Node Head, which was considered a meeting etiquette, and then said: "General Zhang is so kind. You are fighting in front of you, suppressing rebels from all over the country, living a life of blood on the edge of the knife, and there are places where money is used everywhere. Why do you still spend money like this? I am so at ease with you? "

Qin Qiong said: "Duke, in fact, these are some of our wishes, and there are not many of them. I am also worried that you will look down on me."

"How could that be? Even if you give goose feathers thousands of miles away, the gift is light and the affection is heavy. How could I, Luo Cheng, be a greedy person who is greedy for money and conservative?" Luo Zhaoyun looked righteous.

Cheng Zhijie muttered, "Actually, in addition to giving gifts, we have other things to ask the Duke for help."

Luo Zhaoyun suddenly realized in his heart, smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what it is, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, this is the case. General Zhang and us fought Lu Mingyue in Lu, but the money and food were insufficient, and it was only enough to maintain the amount for half a month. No matter the war horses, personnel, food and salary, they were unsustainable. As mid-October, winter was about to begin in half a month. If our army could not get the logistics and supplies, tens of thousands of troops would collapse. General Zhang had written several documents to submit to the Ministry of War and His Majesty, but there was no movement for a long time. He could only come to ask Duke You to find a way to solve the difficulties in food, grass and military supplies." Cheng Zhijie was bold and meticulous, found the right opportunity, and immediately told the difficulties in the army, hoping to get his help.
