Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 125 Director Chen's Love
“Thank you, Director Chen, for your kindness!”
Lu Jiuzhang held up his hands and continued, "Didn't Director Zhong suppress demons before? Why do we want to suppress demons now?"
Chen Xuanfeng shook his head, "I'm not sure. In previous years, the demons were exterminated roughly once a year, which took about half a month to two months. But this year, I don't know why it's so frequent."
"According to rumors, there are more monsters in other places. In the five hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty, such things rarely happened, and every time it meant a great chaos."
"In troubled times, there are both disasters and opportunities!"
"Taking advantage of the situation, some people took this opportunity to step into the first level of martial arts and establish a new family, while in many cases countless people died!"
"No matter how good the opportunity is, you still have to live it up! When the new emperor takes the throne, he must suppress the monster. Otherwise, how can he convince the public?"
Chen Xuanfeng briefly analyzed it.
But the real plot and conspiracy contained in it cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
Those who hide behind the scenes are all turned into pawns in their plans.
"What kind of person is the new emperor?" Lu Jiuzhang became more and more curious about this new emperor.
"Iron-blooded, domineering, although she is a woman, she is much tougher than the late emperor." Chen Xuanfeng commented, "Of course, this is not what I said, but it is a common saying in the market."
"I have never met the new emperor. Although I was the prince's personal guard back then, my rank was not high. You can understand that I was a gatekeeper. Naturally, I did not have the opportunity to see the new emperor when he was young."
Iron-blooded, domineering, far tougher than the late emperor!
These adjectives are really inappropriate when applied to a woman.
But if she were the empress, she couldn't do this, and she probably wouldn't be able to ascend to this position.
There was no precedent for a female emperor in the Zhou Dynasty, but I heard that there had been several in previous dynasties.
Lu Jiuzhang didn't know much about the events of the previous dynasty, but by chance, he heard Mr. Shu mention a few words.
The things said by those storytellers are too illusory, nine are false and one is true, who knows what it will be like.
…
After moving to the right to slay the demon envoy, Lu Jiuzhang's office space was about twice as big as before.
You can even divide the room and use one half as a resting place and the other half for working.
But Lu Jiuzhang didn't have any official business to attend to.
After some thought, I decided to turn the other half of the room into a tea place.
It's also good to have tea if you have nothing to do, or make some side dishes or drink some wine.
Naturally, there is no need for Lu Jiuzhang to handle such matters personally.
It can be paid from the account room of the Demon Slayer Department and treated as official expenses.
Lu Jiuzhang found Wang Yunshan and asked him to handle the matter.
Some profits can be made from this. For Lu Jiuzhang, the money is not much, but for Wang Yunshan, it is a huge profit.
After handling these matters, Lu Jiuzhang went to the martial arts field and did not leave until after work.
Back in the house, when Lu Jiuzhang was about to light a fire and cook, there was a knock on the door.
Bai Xiaosu trotted to open the door and found Zhao Chan'er standing outside the door.
To people he didn't know well, Bai Xiaosu always had a serious look on his face.
In the end, it was Zhao Chaner who spoke first, "Is Brother Lu here?"
"Cooking in Pianxia."
"Um……"
Zhao Chan'er nodded and walked straight in. When she saw Lu Jiuzhang, Zhao Chan's face showed a hint of apology, "Brother Lu, my mother has thought about it carefully these past two days. She did not do the right thing."
"So, my mother asked me to invite you to my house for dinner. She prepared a large table of dishes! "
Zhao Chan said excitedly.
She didn't know anything about the world, she only knew that her mother's attitude towards Brother Lu had improved, so she became happy.
As long as Mom can get along well with Brother Lu, that will be the happiest thing!
"Sister Zhao, please don't let me say anything. Did your mother take the wrong medicine?" The big black dog was puzzled.
It was clear that two days ago, you were still in a dead-end attitude, so why did your attitude suddenly change for the better today?
"If you can't speak, just say less!" Lu Jiuzhang slapped the big black dog on the head.
It's okay to scold Zhao Chan'er in front of others, but it's a bit inappropriate to scold Zhao Chan'er's mother in front of her.
At least Zhao Chaner has a good character!
"Sister Chan'er, I won't go." Lu Jiuzhang waved his hand, "I need to rest for these two days of practice and eat some light food. I'm not used to your mother's big fish and meat!"
Zhao Chan'er's mother's attitude changed so quickly simply because she knew that Lu Jiuzhang had been promoted.
You know, that is the Demon Slayer!
In the entire Changshui County, the authority is already very great.
"Brother Lu, but..."
"It's nothing, Chan'er, you're a very nice person. Listen to your second brother's advice and don't listen to your mother in everything." Lu Jiuzhang smiled and touched Zhao Chan'er's head, "You are already old, you should have your own
It’s up to you!”
"Okay!" Zhao Chan lowered his head and walked toward his home a little unhappy.
When she was far away, the big black dog asked, "Master Jiu, do you think this girl can listen to you?"
"It's difficult!" Lu Jiuzhang shook his head, "Zhao Chan'er has a weak temperament. It's extremely difficult to get rid of her mother's control! I just hope that this girl can find a good family in the future and not be bullied by others!"
Such is the way of the world!
This is a family matter, and Lu Jiuzhang can't interfere too much.
What can I do if I give you kind words and advice?
It’s your character and you can’t change it!
"Having said all that, what should we eat tonight?" Bai Xiaosu looked at Lu Jiuzhang seriously, "I want to eat roast chicken, the kind that is roasted and dripping with oil!"
"ha?"
Lu Jiuzhang didn't react for a moment.
"Hey, Master Jiu, didn't you go to the Demon Slayer Division this morning? I took her out for a meal. This girl fell in love with roast chicken!" the big black dog said with a bitter smile.
"Eat, you don't need this little money." Lu Jiuzhang fumbled around for a moment and found that there was no change, so he took out a tael of silver and said, "Take it and buy it!"
A roast chicken costs seven or eight cents, and about ten cents in copper coins, which is not expensive.
"Okay, I'll go shopping with Bai Xiaosu now!" The big black dog jumped out of the door.
…
Lu Jiuzhang lit a fire and cooked some porridge.
It’s better to eat something lighter at night!
By the way, put some more spiritual herbs into the porridge. Anyway, Lu Jiuzhang is now full of spiritual herbs.
Thinking of this, Lu Jiuzhang washed a piece of spiritual grass and put it into the porridge.
In an instant, the aroma of spiritual grass came from the porridge.
The entire kitchen is filled with aura, giving people a feeling of ecstasy.
"Bang bang bang..."
At this time, the knock on the door rang again.
Lu Jiuzhang walked to the door, opened it, and found Aunt Zhao standing outside.
Did he see that Zhao Chan'er couldn't invite him, so he came to invite her in person?
"Nephew Lu, why are you still angry with Auntie?" Aunt Zhao smiled bitterly, "Auntie knows that what she did before was wrong. If you are still angry, can Auntie give you an apology?"
