Chapter 697 Luo Family Children
The scorching sun stretches across the blue sky, radiating its light and heat to the world unscrupulously.
Luo Zhang summoned the sons and daughters of the Luo family to the Luo family ancestral temple.
As the gate of the ancestral temple slowly closed with a creaking sound, the light suddenly dimmed and the oil lamps in the room lit up, swaying gently in varying brightness.
The Luo family's ancestral temple is extremely large, and has grown larger over the past 1,300 years.
In front of everyone were densely packed ancestral tablets.
All the ancestral tablets are combined together, but as long as you look at that place, that tablet will appear. This is naturally a gift from Ji Zhao.
From top to bottom, it is well-arranged.
Every generation of the Luo family's sons and daughters were listed on the list, whether they lived in the Luo State or were granted fiefdoms outside the country.
The smoke from incense that never stops fills the room all day long, making people feel calm and peaceful.
Perhaps it is because extreme wisdom will lead to harm, and deep love will bring about a short life, the sons and daughters of the Luo family are generally not considered to live long.
After entering the Later Han Dynasty, the fortune of the Luo family declined and the population became even less prosperous.
Among the Luo family today, there are only three people left from Luo Zhang's generation. They can be regarded as living fossils and basically never appear in the world.
There are seven men and women in Luo Zhang's generation, three boys and four girls. One of them is Luo Kong's mother, who is still in the Wushuang Kingdom in the Western Region. The rest are staying in Zhaocheng.
Luo Xiao and Luo Shu's generation is large, with eight men alone. The eldest Luo Xiao and the third Luo Kong have both passed away, and now there are six left, headed by Luo Shu.
There were also eight daughters of the Luo family. Yinghou's wife Luo Qian was in Yinghou's country, and the rest were in Zhaocheng. These were basically the people Cai Yan saw.
There are now six people in the third generation of Lozi, four boys and two girls.
Luo Xiao is a man of divine appearance but has no children. Luo Shu, Luo Kong and Luo Qian are all older and have children.
Luo Shu had two sons and one daughter, Luo Kong had one daughter, and Luo Qian had two sons, Luo Qi and Luo Chu.
The remaining men of the second generation are relatively young. Compared with the three brothers Luo Xiao, Luo Shu and Luo Kong, they are basically more than ten years younger, but no more than twenty years old.
Luo Qian was the legitimate daughter of the fourth generation of the Holy Mark. The Holy Mark after her marriage to Luo Chuan could only be passed down to one generation, so Luo Qi's child did not have any Holy Mark.
However, Luo Qi is the fifth generation of holy scars, and his children are just five generations away, so they can marry into the direct line of the Luo family.
According to past experience, they would look for a legitimate daughter of the third or fourth generation to marry. Sometimes, they would ask the son of the Luo family to marry the daughter of Marquis Ying, and then inherit the title. The Han Dynasty had barons, baronetesse, and joint titles, which was quite tolerant.
This is also a special feature of the Luo family.
Girls from other families are considered outsiders after they get married, but not Luo’s girls. Their souls will eventually return to the Su King, so how can there be any difference between insiders and outsiders?
The current Luo family has thirty direct descendants.
If Luo Zhang's generation and the previous generation are not counted, there are now twenty people in the Luo family's direct lineage, ten men and ten women. These people constitute the core of the Zhaocheng Luo family.
It looks a bit shabby, but it's actually quite normal.
Most families have so few direct descendants, even fewer than the Luo family. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many precedents of people being stripped of their country and titles because they had no heirs.
Besides, the number of nineteen people just meets Ji Zhao's needs.
The number is neither too large, which would require a large amount of luck points to maintain the blessing of ancestors, nor too small, which would lead to unexpected extinction of the family line.
The Luo family often held banquets in the Luo Palace, but gatherings in the ancestral temple were very rare. Everyone sat solemnly and quietly, waiting for Luo Zhang to speak.
Luo Zhang looked around, then slowly said: "Now the world is changing drastically, the princes are rising up, each fighting for destiny, many people think that our Luo family is sitting on the Diaoyutai, and can live safely until the next era.
But only we ourselves know that the Luo family has once again reached a critical moment of survival.
If he cannot board a new ship in the new era, the Luo family will either sink with the old ship, or become a sail hoisted high, and eventually be swept away by the winds and waves of the times.
This is unacceptable to Luo Shi. We want to be the keel of the ship!"
Everyone knew what Luo Zhang said, because Luo Zhang had said it more than once in family gatherings.
The Luo family must not only survive to the next era. If that were all, it would be too simple.
The Luo family must also become a close and loyal minister of the new dynasty and play an irreplaceable role at this moment of transition between eras.
It would be best if it was like when the Han Dynasty was established.
Only Luo Zhang, the head of the family, and the Luo clan's high priest understood why this was so.
Because of family background!
The Luo family must enter the next dynasty in a state that can continuously enhance the family foundation, otherwise it will only be a slow death.
Luo Zhang said with emotion: "Since Xiao'er, the situation in the world has changed three times a day. If it is really like in previous years, I am afraid that the family will never have peace.
Now that Luo Qi has entered the service of Liu Bei, the governor of Xuzhou, he has to shoulder the responsibility of being Marquis Ying and protect the royal family of the Han Dynasty.
But the family could not place their hopes on Liu Bei.
Luo Chu sat in control of Jiangdong and regarded himself as the master of the area.
When we meet again some time later, he will return to Zhaocheng, and I will ask him about his future goals.
Both juniors have their own goals, which gave me some ideas.
I plan to hand over all family affairs to the daughter of the Luo family and the wives of the sons of the Luo family.
Then all the married sons of the Luo family chose their own goals and left Zhaocheng to start a career.
Inside Zhaocheng, there are only brave warriors.
As for the rest of the people, objects, and forces, all the Luo family members who left will have a share as a help.
Men are responsible for external affairs, while women are responsible for internal affairs.
On the premise of stabilizing Zhaocheng, enhance influence among the princes throughout the world.
Do you guys have any ideas?
What are you willing to do?"
Luo Zhang's words caused an instant uproar, and everyone was shocked beyond words. Scattering all the Luo family's children?
Does this mean that the family is now unable to determine who deserves the world, and who has the aura of a king, so this is the case?
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Luo Zhang smiled and said, "I offered sacrifices to the Su King earlier and asked about the future situation.
King Su told him in a dream that destiny is not clear and everything depends on human efforts.
The world is in turmoil now, and it is a good time for you to make achievements.
Some of you don't want to stay in Zhaocheng for the rest of your life. Isn't it a good thing to live the way you want now?
Besides, only married Luo children can leave Zhaocheng, so don't forget this.
It's very difficult for you kids to get married.
But it’s dangerous for you to go out. If you don’t get married and have children, I’m worried that the family heritage will be cut off.”
Luo Shu knew that he would definitely not be able to leave Zhaocheng. He had to stay in Zhaocheng to inherit the throne of Duke Zhao. However, now that the emperor was gone, he didn't know where the edict to confer the throne of Duke Zhao would come from.
He had an elegant face, clasped his fists and bowed to Luo Zhang and asked, "Father.
Apart from joining the government as officials, are there any other options for you brothers and nephews?
There are only a few princes in the world today who are worthy of your support.
Besides, not all of you brothers are good at governing a country.
If they are asked to serve as officials for the princes, it may not be appropriate for them. Some people are only suitable to stay in Zhaocheng and conduct some research. "
The Luo clan members, blessed by their ancestors, are all small hexagonal warriors. But even though they are all hexagonal, they still have their strengths and weaknesses.
For example, Luo Shu’s seventh brother is a typical scholarly genius.
Although he has great martial arts skills, it would be a waste of his talent if he were to go to the battlefield.
There is also Luo Zi, who is extremely skilled in medicine and is now the editor-in-chief of the third edition of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Disorders. Such a great talent is also a wrong use if it is used to govern the country.
Luo Zhang waved his hands and said with a smile: "I know what Shu'er said. As the saying goes, we should teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Of course, we should use them according to their talents. This is entirely voluntary.
Just as my father said before, do whatever you want, as long as you can bring honor to the family and make achievements, that is enough. "
Show off your family!
Make achievements!
Luo Zhang's eight words made everyone completely understand that this was Luo Zhang's purpose.
In this turbulent era, one can make great achievements and even create a lineage of his own, just like King Luo Wen and Marquis Wushuang.
And making achievements is not just about governing the army and managing the government.
If one could become a saint and have his name recorded in history, that would be an achievement that would bring glory to the family.
All the Luo clan members seemed to be thinking about something. The high priest smiled and asked, "Uncle, are you going to arrange marriages for my brothers?"
Arranged marriage?
When the Luo clan members heard their sister's words, they suddenly realized that what their uncle had said before had a prerequisite, which was that it could only be done after marriage.
Luo Qi and Luo Chu already have wives and fiancées, not to mention Luo Shu, so the remaining seven people are the ones who still need to get married.
Luo Shu has two sons, Luo Jin and Luo Yan, and his five brothers, the fourth brother Luo Xing, the fifth brother Luo Xuan, the sixth brother Luo Ji, the seventh brother Luo Quan, and the eighth brother Luo Heng.
The age order of the four brothers of Luo Jin's generation is Luo Jin, Luo Qi, Luo Yan, and Luo Chu.
Now, the two beauties in Zhaocheng who can win the hearts of all the Luo family men are Cai Yan and Diao Chan.
Another person is the queen Tang Ji of the former Emperor Xiaomin.
This is a heavyweight figure, more important than Cai Yan and Diao Chan combined.
Cai Yan and Diao Chan are indeed beautiful, but this one is a real queen.
This was the first time in history that a Han queen who was recognized by the world was exiled to the common people.
This identity was quite unusual, especially since she had a full set of seals of the empress and the queen mother. She was also the sister-in-law of the current Han emperor. In the Han Dynasty, where filial piety was paramount, she even had the power to depose Liu Xie from the throne.
The legitimacy that Cao Cao's advisers had planned for a long time to build by obeying the emperor and controlling the disobedient was like a piece of paper in front of Empress Tang.
Ji Zhao believed that marrying a queen would bring unimaginable benefits to the family.
And according to past experience, there is a high probability that the emperor's luck will increase, as this is a formal marriage.
As for something like the imperial fortune, even if it lasts just one more day, it will be a huge profit.
Once the emperor's luck lasts long enough, Ji Zhao will be able to directly overturn Bu Wang's bottom line, and everything will be over.
Luo Zhang once said.
Who married Tang Ji?
Who will be the future head of the family?
This is something that all Luo family members know.
However, Tang Ji was entrusted by Emperor Xiaomin and Luo Kong, and her marriage was decided by herself.
From today's perspective, Luo Jin is the most likely candidate.
Since Tang Ji entered Zhaocheng, she has had the best relationship with Luo Jin, especially when she first entered Zhaocheng, she was basically inseparable from Luo Jin.
This was indeed the case. After the high priest announced the marriage, the other Luo clan members all looked at the head of the family, Luo Zhang. Only Luo Jin looked at the head of the family and bowed his hands and said, "Grandfather, Jin already has someone in his heart. When the time is right, I will ask you for marriage."
Luo Zhang nodded, then looked at the people below. Luo Shu, Luo Jin, Luo Qi, and Luo Chu did not need to be considered.
There is no need to consider Luo Yan either. Cai Yan and Diao Chan are both in their twenties. Although they are extremely beautiful and ageless, they still need to be considered.
The remaining ones are the five second-generation people of the right age. Luo Zhang pondered for a while and really didn't know how to choose.
"Life is in chains, and freedom is the most valuable thing. Diao Chan and Wen Ji entered the Luo family, but they could not be directly married. After several years, I thought someone would bring them to me to ask for a marriage, but until now, I, as an elder, still need to arrange the marriage. It's really..."
The five brothers looked at each other. Ever since Diao Chan and Cai Yan entered the Luo family, they have been advocating fair competition, but they still care about their brotherhood, which resulted in the current situation.
As soon as Luo Zhang explained it, everyone knew what to do.
Ji Zhao and Ji Lingjun couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. Ji Lingjun asked, "Grandfather, who do you think will marry those two beautiful women?"
Ji Zhao said calmly: "The seventh son will marry Wen Ji, and the fourth son will marry Diao Chan."
Ji Lingjun was just asking casually, but he didn't expect the old ancestor to actually answer. He immediately asked curiously, "Old ancestor, how come you didn't notice that Lingjun hasn't been asleep for the past few years?"
Ji Zhao looked at Ji Lingjun, who opened her eyes wide and was full of questions, touched her head, and said with a smile: "You are born pure and your heart is clear, but you can't understand it just by looking at it, because the fourth and seventh have points that match Diao Chan and Wen Ji, this is fate."
Ji Lingjun seemed to understand, but Ji Zhao began to look forward to what improvements Diao Chan and Cai Yan could bring to the family.
There are really many famous beauties in the Three Kingdoms period. These beauties are all famous ladies in history. When talking about the Three Kingdoms, basically everyone knows them.
This is a reflection of their influence on the world.
When Mi Zhen and Luo Qi got married, the system sent a message as expected.
[The famous historical figure Mi Zhen from the Three Kingdoms has joined your family. You gain 1,000 luck points. The profit of your family's business activities increases by 5%. The financial management ability of your family members under the attribute of governing the country is improved, and the correction calculation of the attribute of governing the country is enhanced by 0.3.]
After increasing charm and various talents, this is the first time that the six basic abilities have been added. Although it is only a small item under a large item, the importance of financial management is self-evident.
There are so many beauties in the Three Kingdoms. What kind of improvement can they bring to the family?
