When Eunuch Huang arrived at Luofu, Luofu was holding a dinner party, an all-ox feast!
This shocked Eunuch Huang. He didn't know what kind of happy event Luo Mansion had, but it actually held an all-ox banquet.
The arrival of Eunuch Huang made people in Luofu speculate a lot. They thought that His Majesty must have known that Princess Gaoyang was pregnant with a boy and sent Eunuch Huang to have a look.
But what makes everyone confused is why Eunuch Huang came with nothing. Shouldn't he bring something with him when he takes His Majesty to visit Princess Gaoyang?
Luo Zhang didn't care what his family thought. After explaining a few words, he invited Eunuch Huang to the study.
"Eunuch Huang, why are you here today?" Luo Zhang personally made Eunuch Huang a cup of tea and asked.
"Why else, you don't know? Your Majesty thinks you are doing something bad, so let me ask if you still have him as your father-in-law in your heart!" Eunuch Huang said angrily.
"Eunuch Huang, you have wronged me. What did you say? How could I not do things well? I have been communicating with Grandpa Sun. Now I have been recognized by him as his grandson. I think there will be no problem if I talk to him again. Okay, your Majesty, please relax, I will take care of this matter!" Luo Zhang explained.
"Well, that's pretty much it. I feel relieved because of your words. By the way, what kind of happy day is it for you today? You actually held an all-ox banquet. Not everyone can do this!" Eunuch Huang finished. Let's get down to business and ask about the excitement of Luofu.
"Hahaha, Eunuch Huang will buy you a drink even if you don't ask me, and you must drink this glass of wine." Luo Zhang said with a smile.
"Huh? You bought me a drink and you still have to drink it? Why is that?" Eunuch Huang asked with some confusion.
"Today, I asked Grandpa Sun to check Gao Yang's pulse. Grandpa Sun said that Gao Yang is carrying a boy. Do you think this is a great event? Do you want to drink this glass of wine or not?" Luo Zhang He smiled playfully.
"Is this true?" Eunuch Huang suddenly stood up from his chair. Apparently, the news also shocked him.
"Of course it's serious. If you don't believe it, just ask Gao Yang. She is very happy now and wishes everyone knew about it. But I don't want to publicize it. After all, if the news about Grandpa Sun in our Luo Mansion gets out, I will be here. It was so lively, and I didn’t want the gate to be broken through, so I didn’t notify him. I just wanted to hold a banquet at home and wait until Gao Yang actually gave birth to make a big deal!" Luo Zhang explained.
"Oh, you, why didn't you inform the palace about such a big thing? I didn't bring anything with me here. What should I do? What should I do? No, I have to go back first to report this matter. Let me tell you, your majesty will be very happy if you come." As he spoke, Eunuch Huang walked out without even drinking, and Luo Zhang couldn't stop him.
This made the Luo family feel puzzled as to why Eunuch Huang left soon after he arrived.
Luo Zhang didn't explain. Instead, he sat next to Sun Simiao and started changing cups instead.
At the palace, Eunuch Huang left and returned. Before Li Shimin could ask about the result of his trip, Eunuch Huang spoke first: "Your Majesty, it's a happy event, a great happy event!"
"Well? Where does the joy come from? Could it be that Sun Simiao is here?" Li Shimin stopped correcting the memorial and looked up at Huang Gonggong.
"It's not this, but another matter. The child that Princess Gaoyang is carrying is a boy. Doctor Sun checked his pulse personally. At this time, a family banquet was being held in the Luo Mansion. I didn't know about it until I went there! Your Majesty , do you think this is a great joy?" Huang Eunuch said with a happy smile.
Li Shimin was slightly startled and said, "You said the child in Gao Yang's belly is a boy?"
"That's right, what Doctor Sun saw was what Luo Zhang said will never be wrong!" Huang Eunuch affirmed.
"Okay, okay, this is indeed a happy event, a great happy event!" Li Shimin clapped his hands and laughed.
You know, when Gao Yang was married to Luo Zhang, he had the intention of tying down Luo Zhang and letting him work for him. The most important thing was that he was afraid that Luo Zhang would run away and his path to obtain the elixir would be cut off. Now he is fine. , Gao Yang has a male child in his belly, and Luo Zhang can't run away even if he wants to. With this child tying Luo Zhang down, there is hope for obtaining the elixir.
"That's not all. Luo Zhang just told me that Sun Simiao recognized Luo Zhang as his grandson. Luo Zhang has been persuading Dr. Sun these days. I'm afraid it won't be long before Sun Simiao will come to the palace to see you and show you. I'm sick! Luo Zhang didn't mean to neglect you!" Eunuch Huang explained for Luo Zhang.
"Huh? Yes, this guy did a good job. In this case, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to choose ten cars of gifts to send to Luo Mansion. Tell Luo Zhang to treat Gao Yang well. If he dares to treat Gao Yang badly, be careful with his head! Li Shimin said half-jokingly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Huang didn't take his words seriously. He bowed and bowed before retreating. He still had to choose something. The ten carts of gifts His Majesty mentioned did not say what to give, that is, he was asked to choose. , he would naturally have some snacks for what he gave to Luo Zhang.
Looking at Eunuch Huang's leaving figure, Li Shimin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and started correcting the memorial again with a happy mood.
Compared to His Majesty's cheerfulness and the liveliness of Luo Mansion, Changsun Mansion has always been shrouded in dark clouds.
The elder who had just rushed back to the house did not even drink tea when he heard the butler report that someone was going to cause trouble again today. Although they were prepared and called people from the Chang'an County Government, the person who came was obviously well prepared. , brought several carts of pig iron, and it was exactly the same as the previous pig iron. With just a slight exertion, the whole piece of pig iron would be broken into two pieces. Even if the people in the Chang'an County Government wanted to be biased, some of the Changsun's iron smelting shops would be biased. No, the evidence is there, how biased it can be. If they dare to do this, someone will sue them tomorrow.
Besides, who does Chang'an County Government belong to? How could Li Yifu of Luo Zhang help the Changsun family? They were just pretending to go to the iron shop.
The final result was that the great elder had to take out 200,000 taels of silver from the treasury again to pay compensation to those who dragged the scrap metal.
It was already the third day that this kind of thing had happened. The breath that the Great Elder was holding in his heart almost drove him crazy, but there was nothing he could do. Could it be that he sent people to beat up those who delivered the pig iron and drive them away?
Not to mention the strength of these people, it seems that the person can send ten loads of pig iron scraps at once, which means that the person behind it is not easy to mess with. Even if he calls for help, the enemy who is prepared will not let him succeed. , on the contrary, the commotion will get bigger and bigger, making his eldest grandson's iron-making shop famous throughout Chang'an City. By then, it will be impossible for him to restore its reputation even if he wants to.
"Great Elder, there is no way to continue like this. I have calculated that we have paid out nearly two million taels of silver until today. If this continues, the treasury will not be enough to compensate!" the steward complained.
"I don't know if this can go on, but Luo Zhang proposed to me to give him the mine first. Although I agreed, I was worried about giving it to him like this. If you say he doesn't keep his word, I will Isn't this mine a waste of time?" The great elder said what was in his heart.
After hearing the words of the great elder, the housekeeper thought for a while and said: "Great elder, what do you think of this? You go to His Majesty and let Him be the intermediary. As long as the family owner is cured, ten mines will be given Luo Zhang. If it cannot be cured, Okay, these ten mines are still ours, and Luo Zhang won’t dare to say anything at that time!”
"This... No, this method won't work. Luo Zhang said that it is best not to publicize this matter. If it is publicized, he is afraid that he will not even let Sun Simiao cure it! How could His Majesty do this? Don’t even think about it!”
"It seems that we have to give him ten mines first. This will cost hundreds of thousands of taels in one day. Rather than doing this, we might as well take a gamble!" The elder thought for a while.
The housekeeper didn't know what to say after hearing this, so he could only sigh!
Luofu, when Eunuch Huang arrived again, there were ten large carts behind him. Each cart was piled with things and covered with gray cloth. It was difficult to see what was inside, but Eunuch Huang personally escorted it. If you think about it with your head, you can guess that it is a good thing.
And the place they entered was actually Luo Mansion, which puzzled a group of spies who were watching day and night in front of Luo Mansion. They wanted to inquire, but they couldn't enter Luo Mansion, so they could only squat outside the door and try to find out. What is the purpose of all this, so that they can report to the big family behind them.
