The end of the year is approaching, after New Year's Eve, it officially entered the eleventh year of Daye.

Luo Zhaoyun took his three daughters to Luo Yi's mansion for New Year's Eve dinner. He watched his half-brother Qing'er grow up, graceful and 10-year-old girl.

Xue Shixiong proposed to his son and asked Luo Yi to marry his second daughter to his fourth son Xue Wanren. Although the Xue family was a military general, he came from the Xue family in Hedong. He was also a famous family. Even the prestige and reputation of his ancestors were more prominent than that of the Luo family.

Luo Yi's previous official position was barely the general, and Xue Shixiong was a general, which was a little short of what could lead to this marriage. Luo Yi also thought it was a matchmaker, so he agreed.

In this way, the relationship between the Xue Luo families became closer and firmly tied to a chariot.

Luo Zhaoyun was also quite satisfied. Luo Qing'er was a good girl. Although she didn't think of it and hadn't had many interactions, she had heard many servants discuss that Qing'er was not bad in character and got married to Xue Wanren. In the future, the Xue family would have to build a throne for the Luo family.

The wedding has been temporarily decided, and we have to wait until autumn to officially tie the knot and hold the wedding.

The Lantern Festival came soon, and the convoy of Gao Shilian's family finally drove into Jicheng.

Luo Zhaoyun sent someone to welcome Gao Shilian and his family, and first invited him to his mansion. He stood at the door and waited to welcome the Grand Secretary of the Bohai Gao family, who is also a very famous scholar in the north.

Such courtesy and respect for literati will easily gain favor and recognition from scholars all over the world. Luo Zhaoyun must receive Gao Shilian according to very high standards and praise it, just like the allusions of King Zhao of Yan building a golden platform, and he acted as if he was eager to seek talent. Only those who think that he is similar to his talents and are even more talented than him will come with resentment and expectations.

Gao Shilian got out of the car, and Luo Zhaoyun bowed to greet him: "Mr. Gao, I finally hope for you."

"Duke, where did this mean it will make Gao nervous."

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and said, "It's true that Your Majesty has appointed me to govern the four northern counties. We must not only prevent the invasion of the Turks, Khitans, and Goguryeo, but also prepare to suppress the descendants of Northern Qi, Dou Jiande and other rebels. We have no time to split up the people and educate the people here, but we are unable to do so. We need to help us with contemporary sages like Mr. Gao to appease the four local counties."

"The Duke said it too politely. I feel ashamed of raising Gao. Just a scholar, how much can you help you?" Although Gao Shilian also thought he was knowledgeable, his career was not obvious after all. He was only a Sili doctor and a fourth-rank official in his fifties. He was far inferior to Luo Zhaoyun's first-rank real power and his status as a son-in-law in his dynasty.

At this time, Gao Shilian's sons also got off the car. Gao Luxing, Gao Zhixing, Gao Puxing, Gao Zhenxing, and the older ones were only twenty-four or five years old, and were only eleven years old. They were wearing scholar's clothes and were all beautiful.

"Meet the Duke!" These young men were very polite. They had heard that Luo Zhaoyun was too rumored, so they were a little restrained when they met. They looked at each other secretly, trying to see what the legendary young marshal was different from ordinary people, and they all had an excitement in their eyes.

From the car behind, a girl got off, with a slender figure and a pretty face, wearing a white cloak, holding a purple oil umbrella in her hand, and the fox fur scarf on the top of the cloak, surrounded her neck with a white fluffy, showing only a pure face as a lotus flower, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and beautiful and charming.

In this ice and snowy place, it is like a fairy who is exiled to the dust.

For some reason, Luo Zhaoyun saw her figure and thought of Dai Wangshu's rainy alley, the girl who was walking in the alley with an oil paper umbrella, like a lilac flower.

"Brother Luo Cheng!" After the Changsun girl got out of the car, her eyes were as deep and clear as autumn water. She smiled and bowed to Luo Zhaoyunfu with a bright and sensual spirit, but she didn't call her any Duke, and she seemed to be out of sight.

She passed the New Year and was fifteen years old, between a teenager and a young man, and with her relationship with Luo Zhaoyun, so no matter what she called her, no one blamed her.

Luo Zhaoyun glanced at her and sighed quietly, is this the teenage version of Queen Changsun? It turns out that she is beautiful, and the most important thing is that the agility in her eyes is that she has never seen in other girls. This is a kind of wisdom and cunning fusion, which is eccentric and eccentric, while also encompassing a certain knowledge foundation.

She is different from Xue Zhiqing's maturity and knowledge, from Princess Ruyi's infatuation and persistence, and from Xiao Yiyi's tenderness and talent, and is a unique personality.

"We have grown up so old." Luo Zhaoyun sighed deeply. When he first met, the girl was only three years old. In a flash, twelve years have passed and she has become a big girl.

When Changsun heard this, he murmured in his heart: He still treats me as a yellow-haired girl.

"Brother Luo Cheng, this time I want to stay with my uncle's family Jicheng for a while. Can I come to your house to play often?"

Luo Zhaoyun spoiled this cute girl a little. She even had contact with her more times than her own sister, and had a deeper relationship. She smiled and said, "Of course we welcome it, just treat this place as your home."

After listening to Changsun Wurong, she was excited and shy, and was also very curious about his daily life and was eager to understand it in depth.

The Gao brothers were stunned when they saw that their cousin was so close to the Duke. They heard her say that they had a close relationship with Luo Cheng and had a deep relationship. They always felt that she was joking, but they believed it at this time and thought that because of this relationship, their Gao family members could make a difference in the four northern counties in the future.

Next, Luo Zhaoyun welcomed guests from afar into his Silla Mansion and held a banquet.

Changsun Wurong asked about her brother, and Luo Zhaoyun told him about his arrangements. Gao Shilian and his son and others were all surprised when they heard about helping the people for winter and were moved by his benevolent and righteous actions.

Gao Shilian sighed: "It is really a blessing for the Duke of the People in such a way that he can think about the people. I believe that some famous Chinese families will write a lot for you, and this will bring great respect from scholars!"

"A famous Chinese family?"

Gao Shilian said: "Yes, in addition to the royal family and noble family, there are two potential forces in the world. One is the Hidden Sect. They have been passed down for hundreds of years. Some are sects established by various philosophers of the Warring States Period, and some are established by sages of the Qin and Han dynasties. However, they were cut off from the relationship with the country and did not study academically. Instead, they studied martial arts. It can be said that putting the cart before the horse will gradually be flooded in the long river of history. The other force is the famous Chinese family, representing the Central Plains scholars and the orthodox culture inheritors in the minds of the Han people, such as the Kong family, Meng family, Yan family, etc. These families stand up. If the sect leader personally writes biography and comments for you, you can be completely recognized and highly praised by the Central Plains scholars."

Luo Zhaoyun asked: "Does it have such great influence?"

Gao Shilian shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, this influence is invisible and difficult to estimate. However, being recognized by the orthodox Confucian school of the Central Plains will be of great help to increase your reputation."

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and said, "I don't care about these things for the time being. The reason why I arranged this way is completely from my heart. I can't bear to starve to death by the innocent people. I didn't think that I would be praised by others. Those famous Chinese families, whether they write casually or not, I won't ask for extravagance."
