Most of the people in the hall were females and there were also some maids and servants. Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang quietly handed the snacks that were left in the afternoon to Shen Miao for her to eat.
The pot was already set up in the hall and the kitchen was cutting the lamb. The soup in the pot started to emit an aroma but at this time no one was in the mood to be happy.
Luo Qian felt somewhat hungry and when he saw that there were some snacks beside Shen Miao, he walked over and sat down beside Shen Miao and picked up a snack to eat.
Shen Miao looked at him without blinking. Luo Qian was somewhat baffled by Shen Miao's gaze and finally scratched his head and could not help but speak, "Biao Youngest Sister, why are you looking at me for? Are you afraid …"
The place where both of them sat was far away from Madam Yu and the rest, so ordinary people would not be able to hear their voices. Shen Miao said, "Older Brother Qian, why is WaiZu not willing to reorganize the Luo family's army?"
Luo Qian was startled.
"That day when WaiZu heard me speak, he was angry. One fear that it was not because there was no money to support the Luo family's army. Older Brother Qian, can you tell me the reason? "
Luo Qian's eyes looked around and avoided Shen Miao's eyes as he stammered, "What reason is there … It is just that there is no money. Biao Youngest Sister should not think too much. Without money how can one build the Luo family's army?"
Shen Miao looked at him quietly. Her eyes were bright and moving, full of clarity, without the slightest bit of emotion. However, it was this kind of frank expression that made people unable to resist. It made people feel that lying in front of such a pair of eyes was blasphemy.
Luo Qian was after all a lively youth and his relationship with Shen Miao was not bad so he finally gave up and said softly, "Biao Youngest Sister, this matter is something that no one in our residence dare to say. But since you are one of us, I will tell you about it. Even if you know about it, do not tell others. If my Father and Mother knew that I told you about it, I will definitely receive a beating. "
Shen Miao nodded her head.
"Actually you are not the first person to mention the matter of reorganizing the Luo family's army." Luo Qian said, "The time when the Luo family's army really started to decline was not long after Youngest Gu was born. At that time the Luo family was already declining and ZuZu's ambitions were not fulfilled. When ZuZu saw that he was depressed all day, she proposed to revive the Luo family's army. "
"Grandfather already had this idea in his heart, and as soon as Grandmother said so, he immediately made preparations. But at that time we were still short of money, so grandmother said what Biao Mei said to grandfather that day, that the army should be famous, as long as we win the battle, His Majesty will notice this army and naturally allocate the money. At that time, the problem of the silver would be solved. Thus, my grandfather volunteered to be the commander to fight a border war. "
Luo Qian sighed, "Biao Youngest Sister, you should have already guessed what the result was. Grandfather's great defeat had almost become a joke. The Luo Family's army was already in decline, and after suffering such a heavy blow, they were even more unable to recover. Most importantly, when Grandfather was leading the army to war, Grandmother was seriously ill. In order to make Grandfather feel at ease, Grandmother didn't let her family tell Grandfather the news. By the time grandfather returned from the defeat, grandmother had already passed away. "
"Grandfather always felt that if he didn't fulfill his promise to Grandmother, he wouldn't be able to face her even if he died a hundred years later. After so many years, he did not reorganize the Luo family's army because he did not have the courage to face the past failures. " Luo Qian put down the snacks in his hands and looked at Shen Miao, "Biao Youngest Sister, I know that you want to let the Luo family's army regain its prestige, but our Luo family does not seek to be famous. My Mother said before that one must cherish the people in front of one. Just like Grandfather, if time could be turned back, he would definitely not fight that war and choose to stay by Grandmother's side. So if one can make Grandfather happy, even if the Luo family's army continues to be depressed, it would not matter. "
