Chapter 424 Luo Family (4)
The oldest and best-tempered young man glanced at Shen Miao thoughtfully but did not speak.
Luo Xueyan then pulled Shen Miao forward to introduce her. Besides Luo Sui, the Luo family also had two sons, who were Shen Miao’s two uncles, Luo Lianying and Luo Liantai.
Luo Lianying's wife was Yu, a gentle and kind woman who gave birth to two sons, Luo Ling and Luo Sa.
Shen Miao's second uncle Luo Liantai's wife was Ma, whose family was in business. She was smart and bold, and had a pair of siblings: the sister was named Luo Tan and the brother was named Luo Qian.
Luo Ling was Shen Miao's eldest cousin. He was only eighteen years old, and had a gentle and kind temperament, much like Yu Shi. He greeted Shen Miao with gentleness and courtesy, demonstrating his deep consideration. Meanwhile, his second cousin, Luo Sa Shiqi, Luo Ling's younger brother, appeared to have a violent temper. He snorted coldly at Shen Miao and taunted, "A young lady from Dingjing City, can you withstand the wind and sand of Xiaochun City?" He was then viciously kicked by Luo Lianying.
Luo Tan was sixteen this year and seemed somewhat suspicious of Shen Miao. His attitude wasn't exactly warm, more curious than anything else. Luo Tan's younger brother, the same age as Shen Miao, was constantly sizing her up and down. He had a round face and was a bit critical.
After greeting the Luo family members and recognizing them, Luo Sui asked Luo Xueyan to take them to his house first.
The Luo family lived together in harmony and friendship. The Shen family settled in the courtyard where Luo Xueyan lived before she got married, and it was quite accommodating. While the servants were cleaning the house, everyone was talking in the hall.
After the initial excitement, the conversation got down to business. The Luo family was different from the Shen family. When the Shen family settled in Dingjing, because Shen Gui and Shen Wan followed the path of civil officials, unlike Shen Xin, they naturally did not discuss court affairs. In addition, since they were not blood relatives, and there was a layer of separation between them, these private matters were even less likely to be brought up. The Luo family was different. They were all family. Not only Luo Lianying and Luo Liantai could listen, but also Luo Ling and other younger generations could listen, and even the female relatives could listen. When Shen Xin and his family arrived, they naturally wanted to listen as well.
"Yan'er, what are your plans for the future after returning to Xiaochun City this time?" Luo Sui asked.
Chen Xin had written to inform me about the retreat to Xiaochun City after his tiger talisman was taken away. However, we were too far away to discuss it at that time. Now that we are so close, I have to ask.
Luo Xueyan smiled and said, "Why do you ask me, Dad? Since we have come to Xiaochun City, we should live a peaceful life here." Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin didn't know how to tell Luo Sui about the matter of revitalizing the Luo family army. With Luo Sui's old-fashioned personality, it seemed that he would need some persuasion.
“Third sister,” it was Luo Lianying who spoke. He glanced at Shen Xin, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “But the Shen family army was taken over like this… Is there really no room for redemption?”
They were military commanders, and they understood the significance of the army to them. Chen Xin had been busy with military service for so many years, so it was no easy task for him to become an ordinary person without any leisure time. If it were them, they would probably be filled with indignation.
Chen Xin cupped his hands and said, "Brother, instead of complaining, it's better to let things take their course. Xiaochun City is also very good. I also want to spend some time where Xueyan lived."
Hearing this, Luo Sui actually looked at Shen Xin a few more times, and the serious expression on his face eased a bit, and said: "It's rare that you have changed your temper now."
Everyone knew what kind of impetuous and straightforward personality Shen Xin had, so it was indeed unexpected that he would say such peaceful words.
Shen Miao looked at the Luo family members with different expressions and suddenly asked, "Grandfather, I heard that there are Turks on the border of Xiaochun City?"
