As soon as the sky started to light up, 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 response to this, Luo Guanlin, who was pressed in front of the bronze mirror, couldn't help but have 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?
?”
At his age, 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 back 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 go out in broad daylight and show his true face to others.
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, just for now, and changed his thick eyebrows to thin eyebrows, but...this powder application is really not too fake.
?
Moreover, his skin is dry. 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 be ridiculous." Mother Luo walked in, saw her "flowery" son, and said in a disapproving tone: "It's wrong, it's wrong, 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.
, 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 really not be a good thing.
Just when he hesitated to ask "Do you want to call a veterinarian?", he saw that the horse was still greedy. It shook its head and sprayed begging for food at the mother who was covered with "arsenic". After a brief embarrassment, the mother just talked to him.
A shy smile——
So he fell silent.
It was tacitly understood, and no one went any 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: "If you draw the wrong position, it's a small matter to deny the relatives. If there is any suspicion of overcoming the master, wouldn't it be repaying kindness with hatred?"
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 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 be with others.
At that time, both siblings were under ten years old, 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 just 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 luggage overnight and took my two children back to the family to avoid the limelight.
This avoidance lasted seven or eight years.
On the day when she heard that her husband had rebelled, the first thing that came to Liu's mind before the word "finished" was the word "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 neatly 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. It looks festive, but fatter will make the Lord more prosperous!"
"..." Luo Guanlin felt uncomfortable when he heard this: "Why does mother open her mouth to defeat the Lord, but keep her mouth shut to prosper the Lord?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s like he has become an object that can be pointed out!
"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 should pay attention to these things, and the governor is not allowed to pay attention to it.
?”
Luo Guanlin looked depressed, and he wanted to ask, "What's wrong with my mother now? She obviously wouldn't have choked her son like this in the past." However, because he still had some self-awareness, he didn't ask and humiliate himself.
He was a rebellious person and completely ruined his family's status.
Now he has committed many sins and has no prestige. He has lost his former status in the clan, 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 often pointed out and scolded by his mother? He must regain his prestige as the head of the family!
Before this, 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 join him in finding the Master?
Qinghua had just brought the five members of the Luo family into the courtyard when she met shepherd's purse walking towards them and said with a smile: "My master is practicing shooting in the backyard, please wait a moment!"
Instead of sending the message 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 quietly in the hall? We can 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 who came, 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 was wearing a snow-green fine silk robe with sleeves, his black hair was tied into a ponytail with a white jade hairpin, and his figure was like a green bamboo. He was wiping the sweat on his cheeks with a cotton towel as he walked.
Almost at a glance, the Luo family could tell which one was the governor Chang.
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 Daughter's family have not been deliberately obscured, but the aura around him resembles that of 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, please don't be soft-hearted towards them!" After Li Tong finished speaking, he followed Chang Suining and saw that
Someone is waiting in front.
Luo Guanlin vaguely heard the words "salt" and "soft-hearted". While he was thinking about it, his mother pushed him from behind, 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? Nowadays, the private sale of salt is extraordinary.
Don’t be soft-hearted!”
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 Caishi Street, 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 might be 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."
Dasheng 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 recognized as the fastest way to accumulate power. As a result, the number of desperate people has increased sharply——
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 take the salt policy into 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 must not be in chaos again. 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 Sui Ning handed the cotton towel in his hand to wipe the sweat in his hand to Xi'er and said.
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 at her, Luo Xi also held her breath, the smile on Luo's mother's face did not diminish, but in her eyes
A little more genuine respect.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the Luo family members saluting him, Chang Sui Ning smiled warmly: "I guess you are my family members, so come with me to talk in the hall.
"
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."
Luo's mother 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 - as expected, bloodline suppression is needed.
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 was not the kind of kindness he thought he was.
It is truly 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 it. Why is she missing this one? If she drinks this cup of tea, she will lose her 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, is not a big deal for a while, what will happen in the future? How can it last long?
She is sure to be right about people. Although this Chang Governor 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 his mind, and on the first day he "taken office", he simply went on: "... now I'm private
The reason why salt is so popular in Jiangdu and other places is that apart from the rampant private salt traders taking advantage of the chaos, there is another reason that I don’t know whether the governor Chang has thought about."
