Chapter 66: Meeting Lan Xin Again
When enemies meet, their eyes are red with envy. Liu Hu turned around and was about to speak, but when he saw Luo Fanchen's appearance, he held him down and said, "No."
Luo Fanchen was not like Liu Hu. After knowing that the young man in front of him was Su Xing, he took out a silver needle from his waist without saying a word and was about to kill Su Xing.
If Liu Hu hadn't stopped him, Su Xing would have been stabbed to death by Luo Fanchen's silver needle.
Killing Su Xing is nothing, but the giants of the Su family behind will not fall because of Su Xing's departure.
On the contrary, the Su family has been able to stand firm for so many years because the talented people in it are as numerous as koi crossing the river.
Luo Fanchen was interrupted by Liu Hu, but he did not show any dissatisfaction. He just put away the silver needle and retreated behind Liu Hu.
When the city lord saw Su Xing, he immediately smiled and said, "Simply horse racing cannot show Young Master Su's skills. I have deliberately increased the difficulty to make the horse racing more interesting."
"The city lord is thoughtful." Su Xing said, and rode away on his horse.
The city lord looked at Su Xing's smug expression and felt dissatisfied. If possible, he would like to bring down the Su family. However, a good cook cannot cook without rice. The palace soldiers were not up to the task and could not defeat the bandits. Now Houcheng has managed to maintain this balance with great difficulty. Once the balance is destroyed, the people will suffer.
Liu Hu ignored the city lord and Su Xing. He walked ahead alone, holding his waist, whistling and walking in square steps. He looked at the changes on the street and felt a little emotional.
When I first arrived in Daqian, everything was in ruins and there were no such nice houses anywhere. Later, because of my prosperity, the imperial court allocated a lot of money to improve everyone's lives in Lingnan, which led to the changes in Lingnan today.
Lanxin was far from the city center. Liu Hu felt bored after walking for a while and kept asking, "How far is it?"
"Soon." Luo Fanchen only knew the rough idea and could only give a vague answer.
In this way, Liu Hu walked for about two hours before he reached the so-called small bridge. If he had known this, Liu Hu would definitely not have come here on foot.
When he saw Lan Xin and her daughter in the distance, all his tiredness disappeared, and only joy remained.
"Hey, boss, why don't you go?" As Si was concentrating on moving forward. When Liu Hu stopped, Asi bumped into him and almost knocked him down. Scared, Asi quickly reached out to help him.
Liu Hu stumbled, stood firm, and complained, "Don't be distracted when walking."
"Oh." Asi agreed and didn't take it to heart.
Liu Hu was too lazy to waste time on such things. He looked at Lan Xin and her daughter from a distance and said happily, "Don't get too close. If they find out, they will think you are up to something bad."
After all, I revealed my identity before, and Lan Xin had already refused. If I approach her again, it would easily make Lan Xin disgusted.
It was already late afternoon and the sun was shining brightly. Zhiruo was in the front, holding a handkerchief and shouting out , while Lanxin was busy behind her.
There were few people in the village, and even fewer people buying tofu. No matter how much Zhiruo helped, few people passing by would stop to buy it.
"Why not let the 300,000 soldiers in Lingnan take advantage of us every day." Asi looked at the deserted stall and came up with a bad idea.
After all, 300,000 soldiers must eat, so it doesn't matter who buys from them.
Liu Hu shook his head . Not to mention that he really ordered Lan Xin's tofu. The output here was enough for several people to eat. Besides, the tofu here was not supervised by professionals and could easily be poisoned. The Lingnan military force was Liu Hu's foundation, so he could not act rashly.
Luo Fanchen was at a loss as well. Liu Hu had just promised that all industries would be under Hua Ying's control. If he allowed the nearby restaurants to come here to order tofu at this time, all the efforts he had just made would be in vain.
Besides, Su Xing was the person Liu Hu left for Hua Ying to test her, and he couldn't be eliminated in advance.
After thinking for a while, Liu Hu turned to Ah Si and said, "From now on, the brothers around you can come over to buy tofu every day and we can eat it."
Right now, this is the only reliable method, but when Ah Si heard it, it sounded a little different.
His brother is very big and can never be full without meat. Besides, even a good person would get tired of eating tofu every day.
Ah Si said aggrievedly: "There are quite a lot of Qingyi Guards here, how about we take turns buying with them?"
"No." Before Luo Fanchen could speak, Liu Hu spoke first.
The Qingyi Guards act strangely. They don't have a fixed location at all. They eat whenever they are free and just find a place to eat. How could they possibly come back to eat with everyone?
Luo Fanchen laughed and said, "Just listen to the boss and eat tofu every day. It will be good for you."
"Look at your brothers. Each of them is big and strong. They move very slowly. They will only be targeted in a fight."
When Ah Si heard Luo Fanchen insulting his brother, he also started to mock him: "Hello, the people of the Green Guard are as thin as mantises. When the wind blows, they fly away directly."
"No wonder they say the Qingyi Guards are so good at Qinggong. How can they not be fast when they can escape with the help of the wind?"
"Ahem." Liu Hu didn't want to listen to the two of them trash talking to each other, so he interrupted with a cough.
The two were also tactful. When they heard Liu Hu's cough, they immediately stopped talking and stood obediently behind Liu Hu.
Liu Hu looked at Zhiruo's appearance, still thinking in his heart how to improve the situation of the mother and daughter.
This is really a ridiculous thing. He is the powerful prime minister of the court, but his wife and daughter are selling tofu in this remote place and leading a precarious life.
Thinking of this, Liu Hu felt even more guilty and wanted to slap himself twice.
"Zhiruo, why didn't you go to school today?" Just as Liu Hu was thinking, a man wearing a dark gray-blue Eastern Han Dynasty striped carpet robe and a dark olive green belt with a pattern of children playing together tied around his waist. He had a slender figure, long hair, and a gentle manner walked up to Zhiruo and asked.
For some reason, Zhiruo was very afraid of this gentleman. When she heard the gentleman's question, she hurriedly hid behind Lanxin, revealing her little head and looking at the gentleman in front of her.
Lan Xin looked up and realized that the person in front of her was the local scholar. She pulled Lan Xin to her side and explained to the scholar, "Zhiruo was not feeling well today, so she didn't go to school."
The gentleman was unwilling to believe it. He had already seen Zhiruo running around in front of him in high spirits, and she didn't look sick at all.
Then, he sighed and said, "I know your family is in financial difficulty, but no matter how difficult it is, you must study. Study hard, study hard, and read good books. Only by studying can you understand the world and feel the world with your heart."
I don’t know if it was because she was born with a fear of studying, or because she was afraid of her teacher, but the usually eloquent Zhiruo just stood there obediently without saying a word.
Liu Hu looked at Zhiruo's cute appearance and found it funny. As expected, children are afraid of teachers.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely send Zhiruo to school tomorrow. " Lan Xin nodded quickly and agreed. She knew very well the importance of studying and didn't want her daughter to be illiterate.
"In that case, don't forget to bring all the book fees you owe tomorrow. She has owed it for too long." After the gentleman said this, he looked at the tofu in front of Lan Xin with salivating eyes.
