Chapter 177 I Want to Be the Head of the Family
Luo Changsheng hesitated: "I just found out about this, too. Did Mingzhu say anything?"
"She said that she wanted to save more assets for Ayu!"
"Did you say anything else?"
"He said he would come visit us often!"
After Old Man Luo finished speaking, he looked at Luo Changsheng suspiciously and said, "Could it be that your sister was really pissed off by you guys?"
"No, no, no, that's not it! Dad, what are you thinking about?" Luo Changsheng smiled. There was nothing unusual in the expressions of his parents. Although his father was complaining, it was obvious that although they were reluctant, they did not want to force Mingzhu.
What is certain is that Mingzhu really said nothing.
At this time, Luo Mingxuan and his family were having dinner.
They are a family. His eldest son went on a long journey with the caravan, and his second son is a nine-year-old scholar, who also ranked first in the exam. Now he is studying in the most famous academy in Jiazhou City. There are only him, Sun Yijiajia, and Luo Yan.
Luo Yan had been taught by Sun Yijiajia a long time ago, and was very well-behaved in front of Luo Mingxuan.
Luo Mingxuan swallowed the food in his mouth and asked Luo Yan: "Your cousin Meng Yu also went to the clan school for enlightenment today. How is she doing?"
Luo Yan's eyes flickered, and he remembered Sun Yijia's teachings, and said, "My cousin said she has learned it all, and she even wrote a thousand-character essay from memory!"
"Really? She is so powerful?" Luo Mingxuan was very interested.
Luo Yan didn't answer. Sun Yijia hit him under the table. He immediately said, "Yes, it's just that my handwriting is ugly. Dad, I will work hard to practice calligraphy. Otherwise, even if I can recite the Thousand Character Classic from memory, my handwriting is too ugly and I will be laughed at!"
"Who's making fun of me?" Luo Mingxuan frowned. It's rare for a child under six years old to be able to recite the entire Thousand Character Classic from memory, no matter how ugly his handwriting is, right?
"No, no one is laughing at me. I mean, I want to improve my handwriting!"
Luo Mingxuan hummed, looked at Sun Yijia and smiled: "Yan'er has grown up!"
Sun Yijia also smiled and specially served him some food: "Yan'er is actually very smart. When he saw that his cousin's handwriting was ugly, he immediately thought of improving his own handwriting. This is learning from one example and applying it to other situations. Do you think he is smart?"
Luo Mingxuan nodded and touched Luo Yan's head: "Our Yan'er also has to work hard. I don't want you to be a nine-year-old scholar like your second brother, but at least you have to be able to read and write and pass the imperial examination."
Sun Yijia's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and he mentioned his nine-year-old son Luo Yixiao, who was the first in the case. Because of this, Yan'er was scolded by him since he was a child, and he always said that he was useless and wanted to compare him with Luo Yixiao.
If not...
Sun Yijia suppressed her anger and said with a smile: "They are all children of the Luo family. Yixiao is smart, and Yan'er won't be too bad either!"
At this time, the old woman came to report that Luo Hai came to look for the second master.
A trace of panic flashed across Sun Yijiajia's eyes, but she calmed down after thinking about it.
Although Luo Hai is close to the eldest brother, the eldest brother usually visits the master for business matters. Why is she panicking?
Luo Mingxuan went out and never came back.
Sun Yijia asked: "What's going on with the master? He won't even let us eat!"
The maidservant smiled and said, "The eldest master thinks highly of the second master and always discusses important matters with him. This is not the first time. Madam, do you want to save some food for the second master or ask the kitchen to make some later?"
"Don't keep it. Let the kitchen prepare it later. Who knows when they will finish discussing it." Sun Yijia sighed: "You said that our master has contributed a lot to the Luo family's business, right? But when we use money, we need the consent of the master, and it must be clearly recorded in the account. When the eldest sister-in-law needs money, she can withdraw it directly. We are all brothers, why are we treated differently?"
She touched Luo Yan's head and said, "Our Yan'er, grow up quickly and surpass your second and third brothers. From now on, the Luo family's business will be under your control, and the Luo family's money will be spent by you!"
Luo Changsheng's second son is the second child, and Luo Mingxuan's eldest son is the third child. In this generation, both brothers are businessmen, and have begun to take over some of the family business under the leadership of the Luo brothers.
Qingkong didn't understand some of Luo Yan's words, but since the Luo family's money was spent on him, he understood and clenched his fists: "I want to grow up and surpass my second and third brothers. I want to be the head of the family!"
"Our Yan'er is really ambitious. If you become the head of the family, I won't have to endure other people's bullying anymore!" Sun Yijia was so happy that she gave her a few pieces of his favorite braised pork.
Luo Mingxuan also thought that Luo Changsheng wanted to talk to him about business matters, but when he arrived at the study, he saw that there was someone else in the study.
It turned out to be a teacher of clan studies.
"Mr. Mo?"
Mo Xiucai cupped his hands and said, "Second Master!"
Next, Mo Xiucai's words made Luo Mingxuan's face turn pale and red.
He is not Luo Yiyuan. He was very objective in describing what happened at that time, not a word more or less, and without mixing in his own personal opinions.
Luo Mingxuan stood up with his fists clenched: "I'm going to beat that bastard to death!"
"Stop!" Luo Changsheng stopped him, "When will you teach your son? You should solve your family affairs behind closed doors. You came over with such a big fanfare. Do you want people to say that Mingzhu is causing unrest in your family?"
Luo Mingxuan paused.
At this time, Mo Xiucai bowed to Luo Changsheng again and said, "Uncle, as the teacher of the clan school, I shouldn't say too much. But most of the children in the clan school are studious. They are also very grateful to you for giving them the opportunity to study. Please don't send them back just because of a few words."
Luo Changsheng said: "Mr. Mo, you misunderstood. The Luo clan school was originally used for the children of the clan to learn to read and write. We will also spend money to support the outstanding children to go to the academy. The clan school will continue to run, and we have no intention of sending the children away!"
"Then I would like to thank the boss on behalf of those children!" Mr. Mo said, and bowed solemnly.
This made the Luo Changsheng brothers feel even more embarrassed.
Luo Changsheng is not a short-sighted person.
In the past, the Luo family did not have a clan school, and few children from the side branches of the ancestral home could afford to go to school. But since Luo Changsheng revived the Luo family, he not only set up a clan school in the ancestral home, but also one in the Luo family in Jiazhou City.
He spends thousands of taels of silver on these every year, but he thinks it's worth it.
If a family wants to prosper, it must have talented people.
Instead of looking for talents elsewhere, cultivating the children of that clan well can not only increase the family honor, but also make the Luo family stronger.
Luo Changsheng returned the greeting: "Thank you for inviting me here so late. Luo Hai, please send Mr. Mo back!"
Mo Xiucai knew that the two brothers had something to talk about in private, and it was inappropriate for him, an outsider, to be here, so he took the initiative to leave.
After he left, Luo Changsheng slowly spoke: "Second Brother, I really didn't expect that you two thought this way!"
