Chapter 240: Giving Han Xin a Character
To be honest, Luo Yi had been looking forward to seeing Luo Ling's expression when he heard the news. After all, his elder brother was so stable that almost nothing could affect his mood.
But Acai has someone he likes, and Luo Yi believes that his elder brother will not be able to hold it back.
"Brother, the great general under the King of Han is Han Xin, who defeated Meng Tian and led the army into Guanzhong. He is good friends with Ah Cai. Do you want to meet him?"
Luo Ling originally had a smile on his face, and then his expression began to grow visibly colder. This instantaneous change of expression was truly amazing, Luo Yi couldn't help but think to himself.
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, especially in a family like the Luo family where all the elders have passed away. To Luo Ling, his younger brothers and sisters like Luo Yi and Luo Cai are more like his own children.
After all, apart from the second oldest, Luo Yi and Luo Xin are almost seven or eight years younger than Luo Ling, and Luo Cai has grown up in front of Luo Ling, from a little kid into a graceful young lady. Now that she suddenly finds someone she likes, how can she resist?
"Luo Yi!"
Luo Ling said in a deep voice, and even Ah Yi stopped calling out. Luo Yi quickly responded, "Big brother, I'm here too."
"What does Han Xin look like and what does he look like?"
What Luo Ling cares most about is appearance and character, which is also the first factor that Luo's sons consider when choosing a spouse. Appearance must at least be acceptable, and character must be excellent. As for talent, although it is important, it still has to come after these two.
However, even those who have evil thoughts in their hearts would not dare to cause trouble after marrying Luo. After all, Luo has a complete set of institutions to clean up the mess from the human world to the underworld.
Luo Yi responded, "Han Xin looks OK, although he is far inferior to the family members, but he is quite heroic, and he is grateful and repays kindness. He is a man of character. He has been traveling with Han Xin these days, and he listens to Ah Cai's words. It seems that they are a good match."
Luo Ling heard this and said, "I am the head of the Luo family. It is not your turn to say whether I am qualified or not. Call Han Xin here. I want to take a good look at him. With your ability and vision, can you see through a person?"
Luo Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother, why are you making personal attacks? Although I'm not as good at judging people as you and Acai, I'm not so good at making mistakes in this regard. However, he also knew that this was actually just brother's expression of dissatisfaction with him for hiding it from him for so long."
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Luo Ling sigh softly and said, "Hey, Ayi, call Han Xin over. I want to take a good look at him and ask him a few questions."
Luo Yinuo nodded. Liu Bang's army was the last to leave Zhaocheng. He went straight to Han Xin and said straight to the point: "Han Xin, I told my elder brother about you and Ah Cai. Now my elder brother wants to see you. Come with me quickly."
?
Han Xin was confused. Brother, why didn't you give me some time to prepare? He asked anxiously, "Brother, should I go there empty-handed?"
Luo Cai happened to walk in from outside. She was not shy at all and said generously, “The Luo family is rich and yet poor.
We are content with a simple life with only a bowl of rice and a bowl of bean soup; we would not care for wealth and splendor even if we had a jade house and horses made of gold and silver.
Do you still need those gifts from you?"
Rich and yet poor, what an apt assessment! Han Xin was filled with awe and said, "It is Xin's fault."
Luo Cai covered his mouth and chuckled. Han Xin's dazed look was really funny. The three of them came together. Luo Cai sat directly next to Luo Ling and said softly, "Brother."
Luo Ling reached out and rubbed her head with a smile on his face, just like when they were little, Luo Ling carried her on his back and the second brother carried the third mother on his back, and there were laughter and joy every day. Luo Ling missed Luo Village a little.
Han Xin and Luo Yi sat down obediently opposite Luo Ling. Han Xin was under great pressure. He had always been the boss of Su Wang, Luo Cai was the second, and himself was the third. He did not submit to anyone else. He was naturally grateful to those who had done him favors, such as Luo Yi and Liu Bang, but deep down he still felt that he was the best.
But now, facing Luo Ling, he felt tremendous pressure for the first time in a long time. It was not because of Luo Ling's status and position. After all, even Xiang Yu, the common ruler of the world, dared to fight Han Xin. Facing Luo Ling, he felt like he was being targeted by his natural enemy, and he felt cold all over.
Then Han Xin quickly felt the reason for the pressure. Luo Ling first asked Han Xin's name, and then asked about Han Xin and Luo Cai's acquaintance and what happened after they met, just like a casual chat.
Then he started asking Han Xin about past events. There were some things Han Xin couldn't remember, so he spoke in a half-hearted manner. Luo Ling's eyes immediately became sharp and pointed out the contradictions in his words. Han Xin was shocked. Who is this person!
He was so good at seeing the big picture from the small details that he could piece together what happened with just a little bit of information. It was too terrifying. No wonder he could provide plans for hundreds of thousands of troops of the Shandong princes and force everyone to accept it.
"Lord Luo, your wisdom is the ultimate in the world!"
Han Xin really couldn't help but admire, and then he saw Luo Cai gave him a look. Although he usually couldn't read eyes, he could understand every message Luo Cai sent, which made him quite pleased.
Now the message from Luo Cai was to ask him to change his words quickly, and he said quickly: "Brother, if Xin could have half of your wisdom, he would surely become the world's number one commander."
“Han Xin, marrying a daughter of the Luo family may not necessarily be a good thing.
Do you remember what was sung in Bang Zhou’s poem?
The leaves of the mulberry tree are so lush and green before they fall. When they fall, they become withered and yellow.
Now that Acai is stunningly beautiful, you naturally won’t have any other thoughts. But when Acai gets old in the future, will you still be able to maintain your current state of mind?
Will you fall in love with those young and beautiful girls again?
I believe Acai would be very sad at that time. I really know her. She has a strong temper and would definitely die of depression. As her brother, I am really worried. This is why I was unhappy when I heard that Acai had someone she liked.
I would rather have Acai stay by my side forever. If anything happens, I really don’t know what to do. Perhaps I can only follow the example of my ancestors and kill the unfaithful person.
I am not trying to scare you. This has happened before in the Luo family's thousand-year history. It is better to tell the truth in advance, so you must think it through."
Luo Ling spoke very sincerely. The most important thing between husband and wife is loyalty to each other. Since you want to join Luo's family, you must set higher standards for yourself and be more decent. If you are not decent, then only Luo's family can help you to be decent.
Luo Cai herself did not expect that Luo Ling was worried about this. She was proud, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. If something like that really happened, she would definitely not be able to bear it. She pulled Luo Ling's sleeve with tears in her eyes and choked up, "Brother."
Upon hearing this, Han Xin knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, saying, "Brother, is there anyone in this world who will not age?
Xin will also be old one day. Xin met Cai Niang when he was still an obscure person. At that time, Cai Niang covered her face with ash, but Xin still thought that Cai Niang was the most beautiful woman in the world.
I don't know what to say. The spirit of King Su is in heaven. If there ever comes a day when I let Cai Niang down, I beg you to grant me whatever I ask for."
Luo Ling gave Luo Cai a look, and she hurried over to help Han Xin up. Luo Ling smiled and said, "Han Xin, you don't have an elder to give you a name. When you become famous, it will be ugly. Now I am also your elder, and I will give you a name. Are you willing?"
How could Han Xin be unwilling? No one in this world would refuse Luo Ling's choice of name, especially since he knew that Luo Ling completely recognized him. The heavy stone in his heart finally fell, and he immediately said: "You are a respected elder, and I am your junior. I should not refuse the elder's gift. How should I repay such a kindness? Please tell me, I will not know even if I search the mountains and seas."
Luo Ling pondered and said, "You are a great general, and you have fought on the battlefield all your life. But off the battlefield, I hope you and Ah Cai can live in harmony. So I will give you the name Mu, Han Xin Han Zi Mu."
"Han Zimu!"
Han Xin repeated it twice, and the more he read it, the more he liked it. He bowed to Luo Ling again and said happily: "Thank you very much for the calligraphy, big brother."
After Luo Ling bestowed his name, Han Xin suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little different. He turned his head to look at Luo Cai's beautiful face, and an epiphany came into his mind: it turns out that I am now a member of the Luo family.
But he was clearly marrying Cai Niang home, so why did it feel like he was marrying into the wife's family?
Is it because my future wife’s family is too powerful?
Even if I become Marquis Che, Prime Minister or General, it is still far inferior to me, Han Xin thought to himself: I still have to work hard to be noble. If I become a prince, Cai Niang will be the queen, just like the Lu family who had been married to the Luo family for a thousand years. By then, Cai Niang will surely be noble not because of her family, but because of her husband.
Liu Bang was about to lead his army to the Han Kingdom, and there were still many things to be arranged. Luo Cai and Luo Yi looked at Luo Ling reluctantly, especially Luo Cai. She was so worried about Luo Yi that she ignored the danger and came out of Luo Village directly. This was enough to show how much she valued the relationship between brothers and sisters.
Luo Ling had always been the one who needed the least care, so Luo Cai could only say, "Brother, you have worked hard for many years. Now that you are living in seclusion in Zhaocheng, you should have a good rest and take care of yourself."
Luo Ling, on the other hand, was very carefree. “Is there any good thing that never ends? Besides, I’m in Zhaocheng, you can come to see me anytime.”
Although it was only a short time, Han Xin had a very good impression of Luo Ling, especially when Luo Ling gave him a military book at the end and encouraged him to read more, not only to become a top commander, but also to pass down his military ideas. Even Luo Yi had not thought of this.
He said respectfully, "Brother, Xin will definitely become a man like Taigong Wang and Sun Wu, and will definitely develop a war method that can defeat the Overlord. Cai Niang will marry a hero who stands tall and proud. You can rest assured."
"It's time to go."
Luo Ling turned and walked towards Zhaocheng, waving his hand.
Everyone in the world has left, and he is the only one here, a living statue of a god, living in a holy city.
How about occasionally writing about the daily life between the children of this family?
