Lord Lan

Chapter 22

Su Julan frowned and looked at the twelve silver coins that Lin Rong put on the long table, suddenly feeling powerless.

She glanced at the housekeeper and the two maids, and said, "What about their salaries?"

"This... is naturally taken from the city lord's own pocket." Lin Rong replied guilty, obviously knowing that the salary of the city lord of Baichi City is too low, but he added a sentence: "The housekeeper's monthly salary is two A silver coin, and a maid is a silver coin, usually eat less, this money is barely enough..."

Su Julan gave him a weird look, and was about to ask if he was going to leave these housekeepers and maids, but the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and when he looked up, he saw Hu Sha, who was smiling like a flower, came in wearing Yin Yueguo's clothes, which were worn from the ground up. The silver jewels and emeralds to the feet are worth more than Su Julan's Baifu dress no matter how you look at it.Lu Ge and Xiongge followed behind her. Xiongge was too big, and he had to keep his head down when he jumped over the threshold, which was obviously the reason for his frowning at the moment.

The small study suddenly seemed crowded. Seeing Lin Rong's humble attitude towards Su Julan, Lu Ge's dark eyes moved slightly. He couldn't help but look at Su Julan a few more times, and became more curious about her identity.

Hu Sha looked at many people standing in the room, clapped his hands and said, "Wow, what are you doing? It's so lively?"

"Nothing," Su Julan said slowly, "just trivial things."

She put down the ledger in her hand and stood up, and suddenly found that Lu Ge was looking at her with inexplicable eyes. She hadn't said a word after entering the door, and she smiled slightly: "Young regiment leader, you have to carry your bags. gone?"

"Ah? Yes, Xiong Ge and I should go back to the Mercenary Department to gather with other people. We came here to say goodbye to Mr. Lan." Lu Ge felt like he had just woken up from a dream. When he said this, he suddenly paused and thought twice before asking. Said: "Young Master Lan, this is the palace of the city lord, why do you..."

"Bai Chicheng has been rewarded by the king to the current princess of the Su family. I come from Su Wang's mansion, and I can be regarded as the responsibility of the advance team to find out the real situation of the city tower."

"So that's how it is." Lu Ge nodded thoughtfully, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Then let's say goodbye first, thank you for your help along the way, this kindness and this kindness will be repaid in the future."

"Wow, the young regiment leader, you are so polite and unbearable!" Before waiting for others to answer, Xiong Ge took the lead in complaining, shaking his arm covered with goose bumps.

Lu Ge stared, Hu Sha rolled his eyes, but Su Julan smiled calmly: "You are welcome, Commander Lu. Hu Sha and I are also thanks to your care. Since we are leaving, I will see you off."

"No need, I think Mr. Lan should be very busy now. Anyway, we are still in Baichi City these few days. If Mr. Lan is free, Lan Bingtuan welcomes you at any time." Lu Ge replied, and then bowed his hands. Drag Xiong Ge, who hates iron but not steel, out of the study to prevent embarrassment again.

Hu Sha asked expectantly: "Then I also want to go out for a stroll, Ju Lan, since you are the city lord, you should have a salary to receive it, right? We don't have to go to the pawn shop to pawn the pair of gold-winged tassels, right?"

Pawn "Gold, Chi, Liu, Su?!" The corners of Lin Rong's mouth twitched again. Although such things are priceless, looking at the entire Aofeng Kingdom, no one has the guts to do this business!Because this pair of gold-winged tassels can almost be compared with the gold medals that symbolize the status and honor of the royal family!

Su Julan squinted and forgot to look at the twelve pitifully small silver coins on the long table. Hu Sha frowned and copied them into his purse, muttering dissatisfiedly: "Ah, so few? Isn't it enough for me to go to the restaurant?"

What the hell!Twelve silver coins are less!

Hearing these words, Lin Rong's body suddenly felt like a leaf swaying in the wind, which included Princess Lan's food, housing and transportation for the current month...

Su Julan glanced at Lin Rong, who was in a mess in the wind, and warned him that if he dared to speak out, hum...

"Hu Sha, spend it first, and then ask for it if you don't have enough. The price of Baichi City is relatively low, unlike other cities."

Hu Sha, who didn't know why, still had crescent-like eyes, "Okay, then I'll go shopping first, do you want to come together?"

"No, I still have some things to deal with today."

"Well, when I come back, I will bring you delicious food."

Seeing the bright blue jumping out of sight, Lin Rong couldn't wait to shout: "My lord, she took the money away, so how are you going to spend this month?" He glanced at the butler by the way. , although the butler didn't speak, he obviously looked down. The rest of the people knew that Su Julan was really poor at this moment, and he would definitely default on his salary!

Forget it, Lin Rong resigned to his fate and sighed: "Princess, I still have eight silver coins here, if you don't mind, please use them first." Woohoo, this is his private money, if it is not because of Su For the sake of Wang's face, he is reluctant to pay money, money, money that is destined to go to waste...

Many people were amused by Lin Rong's appearance of cutting flesh and distaste for pain. After Su Julan returned to the long table, the two maidservants covered their mouths and sniggered. With the laughter, this dreary study room was considered popular. Exudes a refreshing feeling like a spring breeze.

Su Julan's dark eyes moved slightly, and she was not polite, "Then I would like to thank Lieutenant Lin first." Then she dragged away a piece of snow-white rice paper, and began to step into the realm of ecstasy.He holds the book in his left hand and the pen in his right. Sometimes he looks at the book in his hand and meditates, and sometimes he writes with emphasis and lightness.

Su Julan didn't tell them to leave, so Lin Rong didn't dare to leave. Since Lin Rong didn't even leave, then the guards, housekeepers, and maids below naturally didn't dare to leave.The eyes of these people were focused on Su Julan, who was as calm as ever, with different expressions, and they didn't affect the young Princess Lan in the slightest.

She is very serious about reading, writing and writing, her eyes are shining brightly, and the slightest movement is full of elegance, the minds of the two maids have long been confused by it.

Occasionally, she would ask a few questions, not random ones, each question could be entangled in ideas, and Lin Rong couldn't answer it even after racking his brains. Although he tried his best to conceal it, the eyes of these people had to change That's it, there is no longer any sense of joking.

They vaguely felt that despite his age and appearance, the little man sitting behind the long table was a bit shocking at the point of the battlefield!

"A tiger father has no dog daughter", the ancients did not deceive me.

Time passed unknowingly, Su Julan rubbed the center of her brows and moved her shy eyes away from the desk, raised her eyes casually, and found that no one left in the study room, everyone stared at her with bated breath, she was slightly stunned, about to be gone It's past lunch time, "Lin Rong, please arrange lunch and rest places for everyone."

"Yes." Lin Rong, who came back to his senses, hurriedly clasped his fists in response, beckoning everyone to back off.

Su Julan slowly stood up from behind the long table, with her long hair hanging neatly around her waist. When she crossed the threshold, she was suddenly exposed to strong sunlight. Her skin was so white that it was almost transparent, shining like celadon.Especially when she looked up at the clouds, her big and bright eyes were clearer and more beautiful than the mountain lakes reflecting the blue sky.
