Hello Chang’an

As soon as the sky was getting brighter, Luo Guanlin was pulled out of bed by his family members to change clothes and make up for going to see the governor Chang.

For one thing, the Luo family felt that Chang Jishi was only seventeen years old after all. How could a girl of this age not love beauty?

In this regard, Luo Guanlin, who was pinned in front of the bronze mirror, couldn't help but feel a headache: "...She is not an ordinary little girl. How can her preferences be the same as those of ordinary people? Even if there are similarities, how can they be connected to me? "

He is already this old, no matter how beautiful he is, how beautiful can he be!

Luo's wife, Mrs. Liu, looked at her husband's "half-aged and mature" face in the mirror and nodded lightly: "That's true..."

Ordinarily, the beauty in the eyes of a girl of this age must be that of a young man...

Mrs. Liu thought, turning her head slightly and looking at her fifteen-year-old son beside her.

Luo Xi also subconsciously looked at his handsome and clean-looking younger brother.

Luo Guanlin saw the expressions of mother and daughter in the mirror, and his eyebrows jumped wildly: "...Nonsense!"

He gave a stern order to stop: "My son will not do the same thing as serving others in Israel!"

"..." Luo Ze, who didn't quite understand why his mother and sister were looking at him, heard this, and his fair face turned red in an instant.

"Who said you have to serve people with sex..." Mrs. Liu came to her senses and said softly: "I dress up carefully for the master, mostly to cover up the original description for the master..."

Who calls her husband a "rebel who burned himself to death"?

Of course it is not easy for a "deceased" person to show his true face when going out in broad daylight.

Luo Guanlin naturally knew this, so he could only patiently let his wife and daughter clean up after him.

But as time went by, looking at himself in the mirror, Mr. Luo gradually became unable to sit still.

I shaved off the short beard that he had had for nearly twenty years, and that was it for the time being. I also changed his thick eyebrows to thin eyebrows, but... wouldn't this powder be too fake if applied seriously? ?

Moreover, his skin is dry, and if you look closely, it even looks powdery!

"Fortunately, my father is not too conspicuous... In this case, it should be enough, right?" Luo Xi suggested hesitantly: "Otherwise, how about putting a mole on my father's face to better confuse his sight?"

"What kind of mole do you want? Don't do anything stupid." Mother Luo walked in, saw her "flowery" son, and said in a disapproving tone: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, there is no three hundred taels of silver here... wash it off quickly!"

Luo Guanlin's frown slightly relaxed - someone finally spoke up for him!

For this reason, he could give some thought to forgiving his mother for deceiving him last night. As for how he saw through his mother's deception, it was thanks to the horse that loved to watch the fun. This horse not only loved to watch the fun, but was also very greedy. He actually licked up the "arsenic" that his mother spilled on the ground...

He was startled at that time. The horse that could walk freely in the governor's house must have some background. If he died here, it would not be a good thing.

Just when he hesitantly asked "Do you want to call a veterinarian?", he saw that the horse was still greedy. It shook its head and snorted at the mother who was stained with "arsenic", and begged for food. After a brief embarrassment, the mother just talked to him. A shy smile—

So he fell silent.

Under the tacit understanding, no one went further to reveal anything. After all, everyone was tired.

At this moment, Luo Guanlin, who had been rescued, stood up and washed the makeup off his face. While wiping his face, he heard his mother teaching his wife and daughter: "Mole is not a graffiti, the face is a person's Feng Shui..."

Hearing this, Luo Guanlin didn't feel any discomfort until he heard his mother say: "It's a trivial matter to draw the wrong position. If there is any suspicion of overcoming the master, wouldn't it be repaying kindness with enmity?"

Luo Guanlin: "..."

"I've also shaved my beard. Just put this on." Mother Luo handed the prepared thing to her son. It was half a silver mask, which covered the upper half of his face and only revealed a pair of eyes.

Luo Guanlin looked at the things that were shoved into his hands, and heard his mother saying in unison: "To the outside world, my appearance is inherently mutilated, ugly and sharp, so I dare not show my full face to others."

The Liu family nodded.

Then, under the expectant gazes of pairs of eyes, Luo Guanlin silently put on the half of the mask called hiding one's ugliness.

As her daughter said just now, her father had an unattractive face with no very memorable features. After shaving off his trademark beard that he had had for ten years, he used a mask to cover the upper half of his face. , in Mother Luo’s words at this moment, that is—

"You look like this. Even if your father saw you, he wouldn't be able to tell who you are."

Unless you have a close conversation with someone you are very familiar with, it is possible to identify it.

The four Luo mothers did not hide much and only dressed up inconspicuously - they had never been to Jiangdu. As for the capital, only Mrs. Liu and her two children briefly stayed there for two years. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu did not like to socialize with others. , the two siblings were both under ten years old at that time, and their appearance had already changed greatly.

As for why Mrs. Liu only stayed for two years, it was because her husband loved to offend people with his mouth. At first, he only scolded his colleagues and the government. But one day, Mrs. Liu realized that this man had symptoms of scolding the empress. In the name of attending to my sick mother-in-law, I packed up my belongings overnight and took a pair of children back to the clan to avoid the limelight.

This avoidance lasted seven or eight years.

On the day she heard that her husband had rebelled, the first thing that came to Liu's mind before the word "finished" was "sure enough" - he really did a big job!

Therefore, for Mr. Liu, it is a blessing among misfortunes that the family can still be together now.

"My son is too thin now..." On the way to see Chang Sui Ning, Mother Luo told her son: "I need to eat more in the future."

From the moment they met until now, Luo Guanlin finally felt a trace of care from his mother. Thinking of the mistakes he had made, he couldn't help but said with shame: "Yes, thank you mother."

"Whenever I can be as fat as two people, I can take off this mask no matter what." Mother Luo said in a low voice: "It's better to be fatter, look at the celebration, fatter will make the master more prosperous!"

"..." Luo Guanlin felt uncomfortable when he heard this: "Why does mother open her mouth to defeat her, but keep her mouth shut to prosper her?"

It was as if he had become an object to be pointed at!

"What's this?" Mother Luo glared at him: "Which lady have you seen on weekdays with high or low cheekbones, and you still talk about Kefu Wangfu? I wish men paid attention to these things, and I'm not allowed to pay attention to it. ?”

Luo Guanlin looked depressed and wanted to ask, "What's wrong with my mother now? She obviously never choked her son like this in the past." But because he still had some self-awareness, he didn't ask and humiliate himself.

He was a rebel and completely ruined his family's status.

Now that he has sinned heavily and has no prestige, he has lost his former status in the clan and official body, prestige and protection. From now on, being pointed at and scolded by his mother will probably become a common occurrence.

However, how can he, a dignified man, be like an ignorant three-year-old child who is constantly criticized by his mother? He must regain the prestige of the head of the family!

Before that, he himself had never thought that this would be the place that completely inspired him to work hard again.

With this mentality in mind, when entering Chang Suining's residence, Luo Guanlin even adjusted his facial expression to make himself look less unpleasant - for the past three years, he has just been riding a donkey to find a horse! Or... maybe he can convince Chang Sui Ning to find the Ming Master with him?

Qinghua had just brought the five members of the Luo family into the courtyard when she met Shepherd's Purse walking towards them, smiling and saying: "My master is practicing shooting in the backyard, please wait a moment!"

Instead of communicating immediately, let him wait?

- Luo Guanlin subconsciously felt dissatisfied, but he could only suppress it and persuade himself in his heart: three years is just three years for people under the roof.

Shepherd's Purse invited them to sit in the hall. Just as Luo Guanlin was about to lift his feet, Mother Luo stepped forward and stepped firmly on her son's shoes. She waved her hand to Shepherd's Purse and said, "This can't be done. My benefactor has worked so hard to practice martial arts. Why are we sitting in the hall? We just wait here for Governor Chang!"

Luo Guanlin, who was stepped on by his mother, was shocked by his mother's flattery.

Fortunately, they didn't wait long in the corridor. Not long after, they saw a figure appearing at one end of the corridor, accompanied by a girl's voice -

Qinghua and Youyou proudly said to Mother Luo, "Look, that's our general."

The Luo family all looked at it subconsciously.

Among the group of people approaching, there was a young man holding a long spear, followed by two maids. The first ones who were talking were two young girls, both of whom were quite tall. One of them was wearing a phoenix-colored skirt and a comb. The other person wore a snow-green fine silk robe with sleeves, and his black hair was tied into a ponytail with a white jade hairpin. His figure was like a green bamboo, and he wiped the sweat on his cheeks with a cotton towel as he walked.

Almost at a glance, the Luo family could tell which one was Chang Governor.

Looking at the figure getting closer and closer, when the owner of the figure raised his eyes and looked over, Luo Ze was stunned for a moment. It turned out that...it was actually this kind of "male and female".

All the beautiful features of the daughter's family have not been deliberately obscured, but the aura around her looks like a high-spirited young man.

The two are contradictory but perfectly blended into one, creating a unique temperament.

In short, it was... very different from what he imagined.

"...Those salt merchants are all extremely rich. They say they have all their wealth, but in reality they are just a drop in the bucket...Sister Chang, don't be soft-hearted to them!" After Li Tong finished speaking, he followed Chang Suining and saw someone waiting. At the front.

Luo Guanlin vaguely heard the words "salt" and "soft-hearted". While he was thinking, he was pushed from behind by his mother, so he had to step forward.

Chang Suining looked at the mask on his face and couldn't help but smile: "I almost didn't recognize Mr."

Luo Guanlin suppressed his discomfort, raised his hand to salute her, and chose a less embarrassing topic that he was concerned about: "...Is Chang the Governor working on Jiangdu's salt policy? The private sale of salt is very unusual nowadays and must not be avoided. Be gentle and wait for it!”

Chang Suining nodded and said "Yeah", and said casually as he walked: "Don't worry, sir, I just chopped off the heads of more than a hundred private salt dealers yesterday, some were sent to the salt field, some were sent to various ferries, and some were hung on the At the entrance of the vegetable market, we serve as a warning to others.”

"..." Luo Guanlin, who was originally worried about her "women's kindness", for a moment at this moment, actually questioned whether the girl in front of him was too cruel, but it was only for a moment.

"Of course I will not be soft-hearted towards them. Nowadays, various places say it is a peasant uprising, but nine out of ten of the leaders are from private salt dealers. They have become rich and wealthy, and then sell private salt to the people at low prices, gathering people to rebel. —" Chang Sui Ning said: "They claimed to eliminate the inequality in the world, but they carried out acts of burning, killing and looting along the way. I don't know how many innocent people died tragically under their swords and guns."

Da Sheng has always dealt with illegal salt dealers very harshly. If the amount of smuggled salt exceeds one stone, they can be executed on the spot. What's more, the amount of illegal salt she intercepted is staggering.

Nowadays, everyone is imitating and responding to the uprising. Taking advantage of the chaos and selling illegal salt is almost universally recognized as the fastest way to accumulate power. As a result, the number of desperate people has increased dramatically.

In troubled times, what they sell is not just salt, it is clearly a living source of disaster.

Jiangdu is close to the Yellow Sea, and most of its tax revenue comes from the salt industry. If you want to revitalize Jiangdu, it is most important to grasp the salt administration in your hands.

"In times of chaos, heavy rules must be used. A little indulgence will be like throwing fuel into fire at the source of the disaster. Jiangdu is in ruins and is waiting to be revitalized. There must be no more chaos. I must let everyone know that whether these private salt dealers or others, Anyone who dares to covet Jiangdu will end up like this," Chang Suining said as he handed the cotton towel to wipe the sweat in his hand to Xi'er.

She also wants everyone to know that all the rights to allocate resources in Jiangdu are now in her hands, Chang Sui Ning. Anyone who wants to rob her should just give it a try.

After a moment, Luo Guanlin responded: "This is how it should be now."

Looking at the young girl who had walked in front of her while she was speaking, with those words of decisive killing methods echoing in his ears, Luo Ze no longer dared to look directly, Luo Xi also held his breath, the smile on Luo's mother's face did not diminish, but her eyes A little more genuine respect.

Looking at the Luo family members who were saluting him, Chang Sui Ning smiled warmly and said, "I guess you are your family members. Come with me to the hall to talk."

Everyone in the Luo family respectfully responded "yes" and followed her into the hall.

"Reunited with your family, how did you sleep last night, sir?" Chang Suining asked knowingly as he crossed the threshold.

Luo Guanlin, who had not had a good night's sleep, was noncommittal: "... Governor Lao Chang is worried."

Mother Luo was a little dissatisfied with her son's attitude and quietly pinched his lower back. The pain made Luo Guanlin hiss lightly.

Chang Sui Ning sighed with joy in her heart - it really needs bloodline suppression.

As soon as she sat down, Mother Luo knelt down with her daughter-in-law and a pair of grandchildren, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you very much, Governor Chang, for saving your life!"

Luo Guanlin also lowered his eyes and raised his hands, saluting deeply.

No matter what, it is a fact that the other party saved his family members. Mother also said last night that the other party even properly resettled all his family members - and the mother also added that this kind of kindness is not the kind of kindness he thinks he is, but the kind of kindness he thinks he has. Really reliable and proper.

Chang Suining asked people to help the Luo family up and let them sit down to drink tea and talk.

Mother Luo smiled and refused again and again, only willing to stand.

You can drink tea anywhere. When she goes back, she can just get a teapot or a bucket to drink tea. Why is there a shortage of this one? If you drink this cup of tea, you will drink away your self-knowledge.

Her evil son's head is still wet, and her mother, if she doesn't clarify her identity and really thinks of herself as a distinguished guest of the elders, it won't matter for a while, but what will happen in the future? How can it last long?

She is sure to be right about people. Although Chang Jishi is a young girl, her demeanor is very extraordinary. At first glance, it is clear that she can achieve great things...

Her son also said last night that she was "ambitious", so she had to hug this big tree tightly.

The mother-in-law didn't want to sit down, and filial piety was her first priority. Luo Guanlin couldn't sit down anymore, so he could only stand and talk. He had the salt policy in mind, and he "taken office" on the first day. At this moment, he simply went on: "... Now I am privately salt The reason why it is so prevalent in Jiangdu and other places is that apart from the fact that private salt traders are taking advantage of the chaos, there is another reason that I don’t know whether Chang Governor has thought about.
