Outside the imperial city, after the morning court, everyone filed out. When passing by Luo Zhang, everyone no longer had the previous contempt and ridicule, but only attention and politeness!
Regarding these, Luo Zhang was naturally polite. As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. If others are polite to you, it is wrong for you to show off to others.
Many people have no grudges against him, so having more friends can lead to more paths. Although these people are just outsiders and fall on both sides, as long as they don't go against him or give him obstacles, this will be a good thing for Luo Zhang. Enough is enough, otherwise if everyone turns against him, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will be in dire straits.
After saying goodbye to some acquaintances, Luo Zhang led Huang Eunuch, Li Junxian and other secret agents and rushed home.
Eunuch Huang and others followed Luo Zhang to his house to pick up potatoes. Naturally, such a sacred object must be more grand.
Luo Zhang was also pained and happy about this. The pain was because he naturally had to spend a lot of points to exchange for potatoes. Fortunately, potatoes only cost 100 points per pound, otherwise he would have to cry to death in the Tai Chi Hall.
But this is all his fault. If he had not stood up, so many things would not have happened. How could he come to the Tang Dynasty? Although he had gone through a lot of things, he had never been to the ancient battlefield. This was more or less a matter of fact. It's a pity that nothing can be done to make the Northern Expedition abort, otherwise his previous busy work would have been in vain!
Just spend some points, just think of it as doing something of great merit. After all, these potatoes are not only used as military rations, but also as rations for the people. It really kills two birds with one stone.
Of course, there are also happy things. He spent tens of thousands of points to exchange for potatoes and presented them to His Majesty. His Majesty did not treat him badly and raised his title to another level. Now he is a dignified earl.
The earl is different from the viscount. It is the watershed for entering the upper class society. When you reach the level of the earl, you are completely different in terms of identity and status. Even the number of guards that can be recruited in the palace has increased to 80 people, which is more than the viscount. There are thirty people, of course, this is on the surface, but secretly, the number of private soldiers raised by the Changsun family exceeds two hundred. This is because there are policies from above and countermeasures below.
Returning to Luofu, grandma personally greeted Luo Zhang at the door, followed by Gao Yang, Mei Niang, and several aunts and uncles. They had been notified before that Luo Zhang had been conferred a title by His Majesty and is now the Count of Lantian County. .
This is a great blessing for Luofu. It is a major event that will bring glory to the family. Naturally, it needs to be done in a big way. As soon as she learned the news, grandma started to make arrangements. She hung up the red lanterns and was full of joy. feeling.
Seeing this scene, Luo Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, this was not a shameful thing. Since grandma was happy, let her go.
After coaxing his grandma and aunts back to the house, Luo Zhang asked Eunuch Huang and Li Junxian to sit for a while in the living room while he went to have the potatoes brought.
Although Eunuch Huang wanted to go with him to see how many potatoes Luo Zhang had, according to His Majesty, he wanted to move all these things away and not leave them to Luo Zhang, but he was not allowed to go and it was not easy for him to do so. Please tell me what His Majesty means, otherwise Luo Zhang will be heartbroken if he finds out what His Majesty means.
Eunuch Huang doesn't want Luo Zhang to think too much and create a estrangement from His Majesty. There is also Gao Yang among them. How will Gao Yang deal with it then?
So Luo Zhang asked him to wait in the hall, and he didn't say anything.
On the contrary, Li Junxian didn't have so many thoughts. He drank the Maotai brought by Luo Zhang and ate side dishes. It was very comfortable. The little food he had eaten before going to court had been digested for a long time. He had an early stomach. I'm so hungry that I can't live up to myself if I don't eat something. Generally, you can't eat Luo's dishes. The key is wine. This is the most important thing. Luo's wine can't be bought even if you have money. of!
Without letting the two of them wait for too long, Luo Zhang and his servants walked in carrying bamboo baskets. Each bamboo basket was filled with earth-yellow potatoes, which Luo Zhang had just redeemed from the system. , in order to make Luo Zhang look more realistic, a lot of mud was sprinkled on it, making it look like it was dug out of the ground not long ago.
Seeing the earthy yellow potatoes, Eunuch Huang didn't have the heart to sit still. He quickly stood up and walked closer, picked up the potatoes on the top of the bamboo basket and looked at them.
"Yes, yes, that's it. It was this potato in the morning. I've seen it before, there's no problem with it!" After looking at it for a moment, Eunuch Huang said with a smile.
When he left, His Majesty repeatedly warned him to check carefully to make sure there were no mistakes. There was nothing wrong with the things at the moment. As long as he sent the things to the palace, he would have completed his mission.
"Eunuch Huang, the potatoes are all here. I didn't keep them. Tell Your Majesty, let Sinong Temple plant them as soon as possible. If you are too late, you will be punished for not being able to catch up with the winter." Luo Zhang expressed his concern.
"Okay, I understand, and I will report it to His Majesty for you!" Eunuch Huang agreed.
After Eunuch Huang finished speaking, he called for people to cover all the bamboo baskets with black cloth. This was because he didn't want others to see him. When everything was packed up, Eunuch Huang didn't stay long. He hurried back to resume his life and rushed to Luo Zhanggong. He bowed his hands, greeted his subordinates and prepared to leave.
But as soon as he took two steps, he felt something was wrong. When he turned around, he saw Li Junxian still eating and drinking.
"Still eating? Have you forgotten what His Majesty called you for?" Eunuch Huang said angrily to Li Junxian.
"Eunuch Huang, how long have we been here? Don't worry, I'll finish the drink as soon as I have one sip left. It won't be too late for us to leave after finishing the drink!" Li Jun said with a smile as he strolled around Maotai.
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat, be careful if I interfere with you at your majesty's place, let's see what your majesty says then!" Eunuch Huang said angrily.
"Ah... Eunuch Huang, don't be so heartless. Why don't you just drink some wine? Let's go now. Let's go now!" Li Junxian smiled bitterly and drank the wine in the glass, and then said goodbye to Luo Zhang. Escorted Tudou and left the Luo family!
After seeing the two of them off, Luo Zhang went to the hall of the middle courtyard to gather with his grandmother and others.
The family had a lively celebration feast and then dispersed. Luo Zhang also returned to his study and sat down.
Mei Niang made Luo Zhang a cup of tea. The mule had drunk a lot just now, so drinking some tea would help him sober up.
"Husband, you said that I have been married to Luo Mansion for many days, but why is there still no movement?" Mei Niang put down the tea cup, touched her belly, pouting with an unhappy look on her face.
Luo Zhang touched his forehead and said with a headache: "This kind of thing depends on luck, not that it can be achieved. It's okay. We are still young. As long as we work harder, we will definitely get it!"
"Really?" Mei Niang blinked her big eyes and looked at Luo Zhangdao.
"Really, more real than real gold, okay!" Luo Zhang promised.
Mei Niang nodded and then went outside without pestering Luo Zhang.
Seeing Mei Niang leave, Luo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Mei Niang a child, but that Mei Niang was too young. She was only fifteen now. Giving birth to a child now would not be a good thing for her health. , Luo Zhang wanted to wait a few years before talking, so every time he did that, Luo Zhang would do it outside, so that Mei Niang would be pregnant with a child.
Moreover, if Mei Niang had a child before Gao Yang, it would not be a good thing for her, unless she gave birth to a daughter. If she gave birth to a son, it would be a disaster. He didn't want any heirs to fight in the future.
After taking a sip of tea, Luo Zhang was just about to take a rest when Chen Kuifeng walked in, not knowing what was going on.
"Sir, Li Yifu is here, saying that he has something important to see you!" Chen Kuifeng reported.
"Li Yifu is here? Is he coming now to congratulate me? Li Yifu is doing the same thing. Forget it, let him come in. I'll wait for him here!" Luo Zhang waved to Chen Kuifeng.
After a while, Li Yifu was brought in by Chen Kuifeng.
Luo Zhang took a sip of tea, then looked at Li Yifu and said, "Why did you come to my place today? If it's to congratulate me, forget it. Let's have a drink here before leaving in the evening!"
"Sir, I am not here to congratulate you, but I have something to report to you!" Li Yifu said with a wry smile.
"Do you have something to report to me? What do you have to report?" Luo Zhang said suspiciously, with a bad feeling in his heart.
