Chapter 6: The Artemisia selengensis in the Grand Tutor's Mansion is better than thousands of flowers in Lingnan.
Liu Hu only brought some clothes for changing and nothing else. He just wanted to get there quickly so as not to miss a single minute.
Luo Fanchen looked at the jubilant Liu Hu and said with some embarrassment: "Boss, if you leave Shangjing, what if those ministers plot to impeach you?"
After all, when Liu Hu was there, those ministers dared not do anything, but when Liu Hu was not in Shangjing, they were afraid that Zheng Peng and Wenxuan would not be able to control these people.
As for Zheng Peng, if he were to lead troops into battle, he would be invincible, but if he were to stay in the court, he would be like a dragon entering a shallow pond or a tiger entering a plain.
As for Wenxuan, although he is good at seeing through people's hearts, he has no official position and those ministers will not listen to him after all.
Liu Hu packed his things without thinking and said, "Isn't this a perfect test? There are not so many wars to fight in the world."
Watching the boss speaking calmly, Luo Fanchen could only mourn for Zheng Peng and Wen Xuan in his heart for a while.
"By the way, after I left Shangjing, Zhou Pin was appointed as the Minister of Rites." Although Zhou Pin's flattery hit the horse's hoof, his loyalty was unquestionable, so Liu Hu felt relieved to let him be the Minister of Rites.
It turned out that Zhou Pin was just a small "Bimawen", but because of Liu Hu's words, he was directly promoted to the first-rank Minister of Rites, which shows Liu Hu's status in Daqian.
After checking it again, he nodded with satisfaction and shook his water-patterned sleeves, then said to Luo Fanchen, " Lan Xin should be out of town by now, so we should go and create an encounter."
He didn't understand what a chance encounter was, but Liu Hu liked to say things that he couldn't understand when he had nothing to do, so Luo Fanchen didn't care.
For some reason, Liu Hu looked like a flower thief at this moment.
Luo Fanchen grinned and asked tentatively: "Boss, shouldn't you change your clothes?"
Lingnan is the land of willows and mist. Some people in the folk describe Liu Hu's appearance as better than all the courtesans in Lingnan. There is also a rumor that the wolftail artemisia in the residence of the Grand Tutor is better than thousands of flowers in Lingnan.
The wolftail artemisia refers to Liu Hu. If Liu Hu were to meet someone wearing such luxurious clothes, people would inevitably feel suspicious.
Liu Hu didn't understand why Luo Fanchen asked him to change his clothes. He was most satisfied with this set of clothes.
"I'm wearing all the jade pendants the little emperor gave me. Doesn't it look good?"
"Hehe, Boss, I used sugar pills to trick that little girl, and she told me that her mother had an ancestral precept that she could not marry into the officialdom or the harem. Aren't your outfits a bit too grand?" Looking at the priceless jade pendant on Liu Hu's waist and his aura, one could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary man.
Liu Hu hesitated for a moment and said in embarrassment: "Then what identity should I use to meet her?"
"Prince Yue lost a son more than 20 years ago. The eldest son can pretend to be Prince Yue's son. After all, Prince Yue is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for the merchants in the world. He is not in the officialdom. Moreover, Prince Yue has not appeared in the world since the Prince An case. He lives in seclusion, which is very suitable."
Luo Fanchen's suggestion was quite reliable. Besides, he had many stores under his name and had a lot of contact with Prince Yue. He had some favorable impression of Prince Yue.
"Send someone to tell them." After saying that, Liu Hu changed into ordinary clothes.
Late at night, Prime Minister’s Mansion.
"Mother, the food here is very good, why don't we stay a few more days?" An Zhiruo held Lan Xin's hand, holding the gift cakes in the other hand, and asked puzzledly.
The child was very concerned about food. The food in the Prime Minister's Mansion was a thousand times better than that in Lingnan, so she was reluctant to leave.
Lan Xin looked calm. She knew she couldn't explain it to a child, so she could only coax him, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is nice, but it's not our home. It's easy to cause trouble for the Prime Minister here."
"Oh." An Zhiruo didn't understand what the trouble was, but nodded obediently.
I never thought that I would be able to return to Shangjing one day. Come to think of it, it has been twenty years since I left Shangjing. The last memory I had was the fireworks in Shangjing. I wonder how the fireworks in Shangjing are different now than they were twenty years ago.
"Ahu, where are you?" Thinking of her own life experience, Lan Xin quickly suppressed this thought. If she met Ahu again, it might bring him a fatal disaster. It would be better not to meet him.
Thinking of this, Lan Xin lowered her head, feeling a little bitter in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh: Ah Hu, I thought I could spend the rest of my life with you, but unfortunately, my life has been rough, and our fate in this life is too shallow. I only hope to become an ordinary person in the next life and continue our previous relationship.
I have only two wishes in this life, the first is that Zhiruo can grow up healthy, and the second is to see you from afar.
Over the years, Lan Xin has been trying to find out about Liu Hu, but as a rural peasant woman, the information she receives is too isolated and she can't hear any news about Liu Hu at all.
Moreover, because he had offended someone, even food and clothing were a problem, so how could he have the money to inquire about the information?
Seeing her mother silent and with a face as dark as ink, An Zhiruo thought that she had made her mother unhappy, so she shook her mother's hand and said, "Mom, what kind of person is my father?"
From childhood to adulthood, my daughter has asked me this question countless times, and I have answered it countless times.
Lan Xin said patiently: "Your father is a good-looking man, very smart, and very determined. He was told that he was not suitable for learning martial arts, but he still followed others to practice martial arts. He learned the horse stance after three months of practice."
"Masters from various schools and sects have taught your father, but in the end they all shook their heads and left."
An Zhiruo looked at the light in her mother's eyes and wanted to ask where her father was now. However, years of experience told her that if she asked, she would definitely be spanked. After touching her little butt, An Zhiruo pouted and didn't dare to ask.
"This road is blocked! Let's take another route." Coincidentally, the seventh prince Xiao Tian was waiting for Liu Hu on the road, but he didn't expect to wait for Lan Xin and her daughter, so he had to warn them.
Lan Xin saw how Xiao Tian and his friends were dressed and knew they had encountered bandits. She used her body to block her daughter and said tremblingly, "We are from a poor family, please let us go."
She really couldn't understand why the bandits would rob her and her daughter when she was so poor.
Could it be that someone from Lingnan came here to harm me?
Xiao Tian didn't have time to care about the mother and son. He winked at the people behind him and told them that no matter whether today's event succeeded or failed, it must not be publicized. He couldn't care less and would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
The person behind him also understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately drew out his sharp blade and walked towards Lan Xin and her daughter step by step.
Lan Xin didn't know who was on the other side, but her life was at stake, so she didn't have time to think too much. She pushed her daughter away, took out the Emei Spear from the package, and whispered, "When the fight starts, run back as far as you can."
When had An Zhiruo ever seen such a mother? All along, in her mind, her mother was a cowardly and timid person. But now, her mother was facing the moonlight with the Emei Spear in her hand, looking heroic.
"Mom, I won't leave. We will die together." An Zhiruo has depended on her mother since childhood, so there was no way she was willing to leave easily.
Lan Xin knew that today would be a dangerous day when she saw the way the group of people walked. Without time to explain, she pushed An Zhiruo away and was ready to fight to the death to buy time for her daughter .
People who practice martial arts have sharp eyes. Lan Xin saw a big man running behind the group of men in black. The big man was holding a meteor hammer and yelling, "I'm having a meal, and you guys are causing trouble?"
