Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 260 Tanzhou
"Xiuxiu, you..." Xu Qing called to stop her.

"Master Xu, don't call me Xiuxiu from now on," Luo Xiuxiu said ruthlessly, "If you think calling me witch mother is too natural, then call me Fushan's sister-in-law, anyway, you don't know him at all... "

Xu Qing sighed and said: "But, Luo Fushan is dead!"

"What?!" Hearing this, Luo Xiuxiu turned her head in disbelief, tears swirled in her eyes again, but she covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying.

"How did she die? Grandma's medicine shouldn't be..." Luo Xiuxiu muttered, then raised her head suddenly, as if she had thought of a terrible thing.She looked at Xu Qing and said, "Grandma told you, could it be, could it be you..."

Xu Qing knew something was wrong, she must have misunderstood that she quietly killed Luo Fushan, so he quickly explained: "Xiuxiu is not what you think, that day..." Xu Qing told the whole story of Luo Fushan's suicide Come out, and then said: "Brother Buffalo, father Lobu can testify to this matter, what are you thinking?"

When Luo Xiuxiu learned the truth, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Xu Qing was not the kind of person she thought, she should laugh, childhood sweetheart, Luo Fushan who grew up with her committed suicide for her.

Naturally, Xu Qing would not just watch, and hugged her in his arms again to comfort her, and Luo Xiuxiu also acted recklessly in Xu Qing's arms.

"Xiuxiu, do you know about the [-] soldiers from Qingluo besieging Luotou?"

"Ah?" Luo Xiuxiu poked out her head buried in Xu Qing's arms, with a dazed expression on her face.Xu Qing flicked the teardrops off her face with his index finger, and scolded softly: "It seems that you don't know, little naughty, did you hear that I am an official, and you never listened to anything else?"

Luo Xiuxiu lowered her head in embarrassment, indeed, she met people in the village on the road, and only heard the words that Xu Qing was the governor, and after knowing that Xu Qing had lied to her, she could no longer listen to other words.Of course, she didn't know anything about the siege of Qingluo.

Xu Qing told her another story. In the story, Xu Qing's own figure became taller and more powerful, while the figures of the others all became smaller and lighter.

After Luo Xiuxiu heard it, she felt lost. She went up the mountain for three days, but the mountain was so turbulent.Wouldn't the world be turned upside down if he stayed for a few more days?In addition, Luo Xiuxiu's grandmother and grandfather had already stayed on the mountain "waiting to die", and now Luofu Mountain is also dead, and none of the close relatives and friends are there. What is the difference between this and the world being empty.

Yes, there is also Xu Qing, and Father Lobu.

Luo Xiuxiu didn't know, she had already moved Xu Qing to the first place in her heart, and Luo Bu's father to the back.

But Xu Qing is going to leave anyway, what can I do?Luo Xiuxiu was flustered and couldn't calm down.

Xu Qing continued: "In the next year, Luo County will abolish Wumu Village and the clan council. All villages and villages will be rearranged, and Luotou Village will no longer exist."

Luo Xiuxiu was stunned, listening to Xu Qing talk about the changes in the future, and then hearing Xu Qing paused and said: "Xiuxiu, you can go with me, Father Lobu has already said, I want to pick a few more for you to have fun with." Okay, let’s go to Chang’an to live together.”

Luo Xiuxiu asked: "Then what about your wives? Did you divorce them?"

Xu Qing groaned, patted his chest and returned stiffly: "Women, don't I have the final say?"

"Really?"

"real!"

Xu Qing's heart was pounding.

The two discussed the matter, regardless of whether the plan could keep up with the changes, in short, they are now in a better mood.

When Luo Xiuxiu entered Luotou Village, the villagers welcomed the witch mother down the mountain for the last time. Since Luo Fushan died, the villagers picked up Xu Qing to replace the village elder, and finally finished the etiquette.On the second day, the relocation personnel selected by Luo Bu's father also came out. There were ten families in total, all of them were young and middle-aged, and they had no children for the time being.This kind of person is convenient for relocation and settlement.

Now that Luotou Village has become the home of Xu Qing's mother-in-law, it is natural not to watch them suffer. They bought a lot of green vegetables and gave them a lot of money in disguise.Then he gave a sum of money to Father Lobu, so that he could support the villagers or enjoy it himself.

Pulling two large carts, more than a dozen guards, and members of ten snail families, Xu Qing and Luo Xiuxiu dressed like big buns, and went to Tanzhou like this.

How to explain to the three wives and a little loli became Xu Qing's top priority.He thought of countless reasons, but when he went to Tanzhou to meet the third daughter, the third daughter just took a deep look at Luo Xiuxiu.

The helpless flowers fall, the helpless flowers bloom again, it is raining, the mother is going to get married, and the three daughters are women, the biggest powerlessness is that they have no right to control Xu Qing's big bird.

In terms of status, Xu Qing is a celebrity in the imperial court, uncle of Luonan County, how many girls from rich and powerful families stare at Xu Qing, only to serve as concubines.Among the three daughters, Xun Xueer is a peasant girl, Xiaoyue is no more than a court maid, and even Huang Shimei is only a woman from a small family.If it weren't for Xu Qing, that family would have been reduced to someone else's vassal.

In terms of talent, Xu Qing is an outstanding martial artist, a master in the literary world, close to the people and a good official, and a competent local official.Not to mention far away, in the city of Chang'an, there are countless young girls who are obsessed with Xu Qing's poems and can't extricate themselves, and there are many girls from good families who are both talented and beautiful.

This is Xu Qing's ability here, unlike other senior officials who keep mistresses, Xu Qing is called picking flowers that bloom towards him.One is that the old cow eats young grass, the pig is good at cabbage, and the other is that the talent is romantic.

From a legal point of view, Xu Qing, as a magistrate, needs to have several "concubines", whether they are acting as a facade or doing real things.Of course, Xu Qing didn't see a concubine here, she was called Tongfang Maitou, who accompanied the housewife to serve him.Or when the housewife is inconvenient, it solves the physiological needs of the male host.

Therefore, the three women cannot prevent Xu Qing from finding a new wife, they can only prevent it, or rely entirely on Xu Qing's self-consciousness.

Xu Qing was actually quite uncomfortable. Who told him to be so charming?The ancients said that there are three wives and four concubines, but here there are only five, not many, not many.

Naturally, the three girls couldn't watch strangers stepping in front of themselves and Xu Qing. In less than a day, Luo Xiuxiu's heart turned to the three girls.Moreover, in order to show her sincerity, she also reported to the three daughters that Xu Qing had hidden private money.Xu Qing complained endlessly, knowing this, he would not be the ambassador of love in Luotou Village.

Tanzhou is Changsha. In the third year of Tang Wude, Changsha County was changed to Tanzhou.

There was a big incident in Luoxian County, and when I passed by the capital, I naturally wanted to pay a visit.

In the lobby of Tanzhou Mansion, a group of beautiful kabuki dressed in flamboyant and flimsy clothes danced and babbled and sang in Juanjuan.Outside the main gate, there is a chef who is sweating profusely and is hard at work cooking a big dish - roasted whole lamb.

The smell of mutton wafted into the hall, some people showed displeasure, and some people had salivation from the bottom of their tongues.The smell of mutton is quite unique, some people think it is fragrant, some people think it is smelly.

Let's go to the kabuki room, and then a dozen beautiful maidservants bring fragrant tea and hot paws into the room to wash the hands and faces of the officials present.There are also maids who bring incense boxes, incense burners, and bottles. These three things are called the three things of furnace and bottle, which are specially used by rich families to burn incense and drive away odors.

In the hall, the governor of Tanzhou sat facing south, and set a table beside him, facing southeast, that was Xu Qing.

After singing and dancing, the cigarette was lit. Dong Xin, the governor of Tanzhou, bowed to Xu Qing, and said: "Everyone, I am honored to have a distinguished guest in Tanzhou today. This distinguished guest, I think everyone knows, is the No. .1, Master Xu Qing."

Then he said to Xu Qing: "Master Xu is polite..."

Xu Qing hurriedly gave a little help, waved his hand and said: "I am ordered by the emperor to return to Beijing, so that I can enjoy the mountains and rivers. Passing by the precious land, I have been a bad guest for a while."

The people present couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Xu Qing's words. Even the emperor's order can be delayed to complete.

Dong Xin pondered for a while and said: "Master Xu will return to Beijing in a few days. It is a great honor to serve the imperial court. I am really envious of waiting in this remote place..."

Xu Qingfeng smiled lightly and said modestly: "Wherever you live in the high temple, you will respect your ruler, and if you live far away in the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your people. Don't you and I work in peace in the world?" Xu Qing said Fan Zhongyan changed his words.

The people present couldn't help but their eyes lit up when they heard this, and they thought that Xu Qing was really flattered.This kind of indifferent spirit is especially valued in the era when Lao Tzu's thoughts circulated.There is a person in the book of Jin who was scolded bloody by his superiors, but he also had a calm face, so people called him that.

Dong Xin sighed: "Master Xu is really a man of strength, oh, yes..." Dong Xin asked: "I wonder if Master Xu recognizes Master Xiao Yu?"

When Xu Qing was in Chang'an, he didn't have much influence. After he did a lot of things in Cangzhou, he became famous in the world.Therefore, Dong Xin didn't know that Xu Qing had many older brothers in Chang'an.

Xiao Yu is one of them, and the current Shangshu Zuo Pushe is the person in charge of real power.The day before Xu Qing left Chang'an, Li Yuan met him and met many people, Xiao Yu was among them, and Xu Qing called him Brother Xiao.

"Brother Xiao?" Xu Qing asked suspiciously, then pretended to say something wrong, and changed his words: "Could it be Mr. Xiao, Shang Shusheng? I recognize it. What's the matter, Mr. Dong?"

Xu Qing's "wrong statement" shocked everyone present.Blunted Brother Xiao, aren't you very familiar with that?

Dong Xin also looked at Xu Qing once again, and then said: "Master Xiao has been kind to me for promotion. It stands to reason that this winter, I should also send charcoal fire silver to pay tribute. But there are too many things these days, and I forget it for a while. So, so, so I ask Mr. Xu to help me. Take the things there for me..."

Xu Qing said without thinking, "Okay, as long as there are not many things, I can still carry them."

Dong Xin was overjoyed when he heard the words, raised his glass and said: "Master Xu, come here, everyone, Master Xu passed by, it was my Tanzhou Penghu that was shining, let's toast together, let's make a big white!"

After drinking, the roasted whole lamb is brought up, the skin is crispy, the meat is tender, and the aroma is overflowing.The roasted whole lamb is placed on a large wooden plate, so that the sheep lies down on the plate, and a red ribbon is tied around the neck of the sheep to show its grandeur.

Bring it into the lobby, give everyone a look, and then cut the flesh with a knife.A mutton leg, mutton cheek, and mutton ears were delivered to Xu Qingqian.Lamb shanks are the best, lamb cheeks the noblest, and lamb ears for the youngest.

Xu Qing has all three.

After the banquet, Dong Xin brought over the gifts and the list, and Xu Qing counted the points on the spot.Counting over and over again, no, why is it more than ten times more?
