327. Luo Saburo returns to Chang'an
When Luo Yong heard the news, he returned to Chang'an City by horse racing, Si Niang had already become the county lord of Huihe, with a fief of 300 households, and was given to the county lord's mansion.
Although it was just a folk adopted daughter acquired by the saint for his sister Princess Pingyang, she had both a fief and a mansion, which was not inferior to other serious royal lords.
Because the county lord's mansion is still under renovation, Si Niang and the others are now living in the Bai family.
But the small courtyard in Feng'anfang was not back. After all, two people died. Doulier, who had lived with them since childhood, also died in that courtyard.
It was already late December for Luo Yong and the others to get the news from Changle County. They rode horses and took cars, took cars and boats. When they returned to Chang'an City in turmoil, it was already past the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The two of them first went to the small courtyard of Feng'anfang. When the neighbors around the left and right saw Luo Sanlang coming back, they all came out of their courtyards. They told him what happened to the Luo family these days, and told him that Si Niang and others were now living in the Bai Mansion. Luo Yong thanked the neighbors and went to the Bai Mansion with Qiao Junlin.
I haven't come back for more than two years. The Chang'an City seems to be the same as before and has not changed much.
The changes in Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin were very obvious.
"Look, that person is Li Shi Luosanlang?" Some people on the street saw them and probably could recognize Luo Yong, but they were not very sure.
"I don't think it looks like it." But someone else said.
Luo Yong in everyone's mind was still the image of the assistant teacher Luo. He was smart and agile but a little unrestrained. He looked clean, although he was from a poor farmer, but he didn't look like he had suffered a lot.
The young man walking on the street with a horse in front of him was very calm and upright, very thin, and under his dark skin, the bones looked like iron, which was really different from the young man who was like jade.
Luo has indeed changed a lot in the past two years. Longxi is dry and dehydrated. After staying for a long time, his skin will naturally be dry and dark, and he will take responsibility on his shoulders. Over time, he will naturally become more stable.
And this time, Luo Siniang's incident was like a knife stuck in his heart. He Luo used to be a human being for two lives, and his hands had not been stained with human blood. Siniang, a teenage girl, actually wanted to use her hands to kill two people alive!
It was hard for him to imagine what Si Niang felt at that time.
She shouldn't have been allowed to experience such a thing.
Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin came to the Bai family's mansion. When Si Niang and the others heard that Luo Yong had returned, they all ran out and pulled Luo Yong's sleeves and started crying.
The fourth wife has not said anything these days, and several elders of the Bai family still sighed that this little lady can really withstand it. But now she saw him pounced on Luo Yong's arms and crying like a three-year-old child. She was amused and couldn't help but feel relieved. It would be better to cry, it's better than being so suffocated.
"Brother! Why did you come back..." Qi Niang pulled Luo Yong's sleeve, her eyes falling down.
"The Changle County is too far away. Brother has been walking on the road for a long time." Luo Yong pulled the little girl over, wrapped her arm around her, and let her lean against her armpit. The little girl stuck there and cried so hard that she wet a few layers of clothes after a moment.
The elders of the Bai family were almost crying, and then they began to persuade: "Don't cry, don't cry, look at your brother's clothes, just like they fell into the water."
The children of the Luo family wiped their tears with a little embarrassedly, but they still snuggled up next to Luo Yong and refused to leave.
"You brothers should be asked to wash and use some food." Uncle Bai Er advised.
He could understand the feelings of these children in the Bai family, but it would definitely be very hard for Luo to use them to rush back along the way.
"I'll use some food first." Luo Yong smiled. Let's talk about washing up later. Heng Shu Si Niang and the others didn't think he was dirty.
"Then I'll ask you to prepare some food." The Bai family also saw that Luo Yong's brothers and sisters wanted to stay together at this time, so they didn't bother them. They asked someone to prepare some food to send it to the courtyard where Si Niang and the others lived, so that Luo Yong would have a good rest after eating, and the rest would be discussed tomorrow.
That night, Si Niang and the others stayed in Luo Yong's house until very late. The oil lamp was lit in the room. Luo Yong leaned against the kang and told them about the camels in Longxi, and they were all picking up some warm and lovely things to tell them.
Liulang and Qiniang liked to listen to Luo Yong talk about the furry little camels. As they listened, they became happy. Siniang and Wulang were more worried, but just lie there and listen quietly...
The next morning, before Luo Yong got up, these people went to find him again.
In the morning, Luo Yong woke up and saw Si Niang sitting on the edge of the kang, looking at him with a worried look on her face, and asked, "Brother, are you tired?"
Luo Yong buried his face in the pillow and replied vaguely: "Brother isn't tired."
After a while, Luo used it to wash and eat, and these little ones followed the front and back like widows.
During the meal, Liulang and Qi Niang told Luo Yong a few of the food in the Bai Mansion, which looked quite pleasing. After all, they were still too young. It had been almost two months since what happened that night, and there might not be much real feeling left now.
Si Niang and Wulang had a bigger problem, so Luo Yong planned to find an opportunity to talk to them, but he couldn't hurry up. He was back all the time. No matter what, he would always have to live in Chang'an City for a month or two, so take it slowly.
After dinner, Luo Yong planned to talk to Uncle Bai Er and the others. When he passed by the corridor, he saw Mai Qing lying listlessly there, so he squatted down and touched its big hairy head.
Mai Qing whined twice, raised her head and licked Luo Yong's palm, and then continued to lie down listlessly. This guy was also a problem, Luo Yong wrote it down.
Before he could reach the front hall, a servant told him that he was waiting for the proofreading and Bai Dalang to come to the door, so Luo Yong quickly stepped up and headed to the front hall.
Last night he lived in Bai Mansion, while Qiao Junlin went to find his uncle. The two of them came together early this morning.
"Why don't you sleep for a while?" Uncle Bai and the others were all there at this time. Seeing that Luo Yong came, they said so.
"I've slept enough." Luo Yong said with a smile.
Luo Yong lived in the Bai Mansion, and after dinner, he came out directly after washing his face. Qiao Junlin and the others walked over quite a long way, and they must have gotten up early. In addition, they must have talked to his uncle last night, so this guy probably didn't sleep much.
"We are talking about the origins of the two thieves." Uncle Bai Er pushed a stack of paper on the table in front of Luo Yong.
Luo Yong reached out to take it, opened it and saw two portraits: "Is it these two people?"
"That's right, I drew two more pictures and handed them over to the Chang'an County Government, but they couldn't find out the origins of these two people for a long time." Uncle Bai Er said.
"I'm afraid I didn't try my best to investigate." Hou Lin snorted.
On that day, Hou Lin could see clearly that the Chang'an County Magistrate seemed to be very disliked by Luo Si Niang, and his words were very biased. He challenged him, and he had to ask for his identity first and know that he was an insignificant little official, so he ordered the servants to capture him.
Those who bully the weak and fear the strong are probably afraid to encounter the competition behind this case. After all, the matter has developed to this point. As long as the officials of all sizes in Chang'an City have a little political sensitivity, they should probably understand that behind this matter, there may be an extraordinary family, or even a few.
It is not just the grudge between the Luo family and the two thieves, it is likely that it is also related to the game in the court.
"Look for some craftsmen with good craftsmanship to carve them into carved plates and paste the portraits of these two people all over the streets and alleys. If you are a person, you should have a source, and there is no reason not to find them."
Luo Yong didn't plan to give up on this matter, even if the emperor had just given Si Niang a county lord.
"I am aware of the enemy, and I am aware of it. You must be careful in the future." Bai Dalang said.
"Si Niang and the others are living in the Bai Mansion now, so there is nothing to worry about. But you should pay more attention to waiting for the proofreading." Luo Yong said to Hou Lin.
Luo Yong was also very grateful when he heard that Hou Lin spoke up for Si Niang on the day when the magistrate of Chang'an County interrogated Si Niang. Although it did not affect the judgment of the case, it finally restored some reputation for Si Niang.
Sometimes things like public opinion are taken away. If Hou Lin had not stood up and spoke on that day, everyone would only listen to the Chang'an County Magistrate scolding Si Niang. Even if some people felt that the words were not good, they might still think that he was right.
After all, he was the magistrate of Chang'an County. Although Si Niang's experience was sympathetic, her behavior of killing two thieves was indeed a bit vicious and cruel.
"I am not at ease. They didn't take me seriously at first." Hou Lin said.
If he pinched his little shrimp to death, he would have a fight with his wife's family for nothing. No matter how you look at it, it would be a loss-making deal. Those people should not do that. At most, they would just wear him in the workplace.
"This time when our Luo family encounters such a thing, we still need more help from others!" Luo Yong bowed to Hou Lin and Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang.
"Sanlang is out." Bai Erlang and others quickly reached out to help.
"I wonder what Sanlang has plans now?" Bai Dalang asked Luo Yong again at this time.
Luo Yongxin had many plans, but the most important thing in front of him was Si Niang's reputation.
Now everyone in Chang'an knows that the Luo family had entered the Luo family at night. Luo Siniang was infected with two lives and was captured by the Chang'an County Government. She was praised by the emperor and accepted her as the adorn daughter of the late Princess Pingyang and became the county lord.
This story sounds very bizarre and the ending is also good. However, in this social environment where men are strong and women are weak, her behavior will inevitably be rejected or even disgusted by some people.
This situation is not obvious at the moment. If it becomes momentum, it will have a very bad impact on Si Niang's future and development in the future.
"This time our Luo family can be able to turn danger into danger and bring blessings in disguise. It depends entirely on the blessing of the Bodhisattva. I will take Si Niang and the others out to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and teach the world the method of making tofu." Luo Yong said.
“…”
Uncle Bai Er and others thought that Luo Yong would probably have to fight against others this time. Since the Bai family had clearly stated that they were going to stand on Luo Yong's side, they were naturally ready to fight against Ren Zong for 300 rounds. Unexpectedly, Luo Yong said at this time that he would take Si Niang and the others out to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.
"How to spread the Dharma?" Qiao Junlin finally spoke at this time.
"Since it is the blessing of the Bodhisattva, we naturally have to go to the major temples first." Uncle Bai Er also reacted at this time.
"No," Luo nodded.
Si Niang was standing at the forefront at this time. At this critical moment, Luo Yong naturally wanted to add weight to her, do some good deeds and give some kindness, which would always win the hearts of some people.
To tie the teaching of people to make tofu with what happened this time in the Luo family, as long as people are grateful to the Luo family because of tofu, they can no longer talk about the fact that Si Niang killed the two thieves. Even if someone says it, others will refute it, and it will be difficult to form public opinion.
Two more days later, the emperor in the palace heard from the people below that since he returned to Chang'an City, he took his younger brothers and sisters to burn incense and worship Buddha all day long, and taught their family's to make tofu skills that were quite profitable to the monks in the temple, asking them to teach them to the people of Chang'an if they don't have money.
"Was Li Shi Luo Sanlang so scared that he was so scared that he had become a Buddha?" When a temple man talked to the emperor about this, he joked about Luo Yong.
"He can't be scared even if you scare him." The emperor could naturally see the profound meaning behind Luo's use of this.
If those monks teach people to make tofu, they will naturally be happy. Just look at the temples that have learned the art of making tofu, and the people are thriving all day long, and they will know that they are not troublesome, and they are obviously happy.
There is also news that a Taoist priest went to Luo Yong to learn to make tofu, but Luo Yong was willing to teach him, and he would not take any money, so he would teach and teach him. As long as they learned this technique, they would spread it out after they learned it.
"Is the saint going to announce his visit these two days?" asked the temple man.
"Let's talk about it in a few days." Although Luo Yong is doing good deeds everywhere like a good man and a woman all day long, the emperor knew very well. The coffin board must be full of anger at this moment. Let's hang him away first and ask him to dissipate himself before talking.
