Chapter 113: The People Offer Treasures
"Of course there's a difference, big woman!" Diao Chan wanted to say something, but when she saw Lu An's eyes staring at her tenderly, she threw herself into his arms and muttered, "Husband, is Cicada too pampered and arrogant?" β
"How so? My cicada is the gentlest woman in the world! Lu An replied. Compared with modern girls who make a lot of noise when they encounter something that doesn't go with her, Diao Chan's character is simply perfect, she doesn't say anything to him, and she also takes the initiative to help him find a junior, where to find such a good daughter-in-law, of course, Lu An also understands that this is ancient times, male superiority and inferiority are the melody of this world, although it is rare to take the initiative to help her husband find a concubine or a flat wife, it is not nothing, it can only be said that Lu An lives in the best era of a man.
"Although Cicada knows that it is impossible for her husband's status to have only one wife, and Sister Wen Ji was also pushed to her husband by Cicada, but when Husband and Sister Wen Ji became closer and closer, Cicada was afraid in her heart, afraid that her husband would gradually treat Cicada coldly in the future, if so, then Cicada is really worse than dead!" Diao Chan buried his face firmly in Lu An's chest and said what was in his heart.
"Hehe, you stupid girl, you always like to think about messy things, you are the love of my life, how can I treat you coldly!" Lu An lightly tapped the tip of Diao Chan's nose, but in his heart it was as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, the women of this era, even if they are peerless like Diao Chan, still have such worries, marrying and obeying their husbands, and being regarded as a heavenly rule among women in this era, and once they lose the favor of their husbands, women in this era may suddenly have a feeling that the sky has fallen, and divorce at every turn in later generations are completely two concepts. Of course, this is the national condition of this era, Lu An can't change it, and he won't change it deliberately, but he himself has his own principles, no matter how many wives and concubines he will marry in the future, he will never snub his own women, but will make them happy for a lifetime.
Well! The husband is the best man in the world, and the cicada also believes in the husband! Diao Chan tapped the head of the mantis, but his heart was settled, yes! With his husband's personality, even if he marries Wen Ji into the door, how can he do such a thing as liking the new and hating the old, thinking so much about himself, it only adds to the annoyance, but makes the husband make fun of him, thinking of this, Diao Chan's face is blushing, and it is charming.
Seeing the beautiful posture of the beautiful woman in his arms, Lu An suddenly had a thought in his heart, where did he calm down and leaned over.
"Hmm!" Seeing Lu An approaching, Diao Chan's face was even more rosy, but he slowly closed his eyes.
"My lord, Sun Juncheng asks to see you!" Just when the two of them were like glue, the waiter outside the door suddenly reported a word.
"Damn, let him fuck me off!" At such a critical moment, but being disturbed, Lu Anxin was very unhappy, and shouted coldly.
"Husband, I'm afraid that Lord Sun is looking for you for something important, so you better let him in quickly!" Diao Chan took out Lu An's hand that was making a mistake on her, and gasped.
"Let him wait!" Lu An turned a deaf ear and kissed Diao Chan lightly.
"Don't want the husband, the concubine doesn't want to disturb the husband's business because of herself, so the concubine will be said to be a disaster by others." Diao Chan gently pulled Lu An away and said softly.
"Humph!" Lu An grimaced and pointed to his bottom.
"Hehe, good husband, you bear with it first, and wait until the night, and the concubine will serve you in the way that her husband said last timeγγγ serve you!" As she spoke, her voice lowered.
"Cicada, what you said is true?" Lu An suddenly perked up, looking at Diao Chan's cherry mouth, and his heart was full of whimsical thoughts.
"The concubine left first!" Diao Chan was embarrassed to answer, blushing with a pretty face, bowing his head and trotting away.
"Let Sun Shao come in!" Forcibly restraining the expectation of the night, Lu An asked the waiter outside the door to call Sun Shao in.
"Lord!" Sun Shao pushed the door and entered, arching his hand towards Lu An, who was at the top.
"What's the urgency for you to run straight to the inner sanctum to find me?" Lu An asked. Generally speaking, when he was in the inner hall, the civil and military under his command would rarely come to disturb, and if he really came, then it meant that there were some more important things waiting for him to deal with.
"An old farmer came to the Taishou Mansion today, saying that there is a family heirloom to be dedicated to the lord, and he will not leave in front of the Taishou Mansion, and his subordinates don't know what to do, so please make a decision!" Sun Shao said. If this was put on other princes, I am afraid that the civil and military forces under his command would have driven people away long ago, after all, who would expect an ordinary old peasant to have anything good, but Lu An had already given an order before, as long as he was in the territory under his control, regardless of the size of the official position, unless there were special circumstances in wartime, he must put the people first and not be oppressed, so Sun Shaocai ran over and asked Lu An how to decide.
"Won't you take it and verify it yourself?" Lu An said with a frown.
"The subordinate mentioned it to the old farmer, but the old farmer said that it was his family heirloom, and he would never show it to others unless he saw the lord himself!" Sun Shao smiled bitterly. How could he not have imagined this, but the old farmer was very stubborn, he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't use force to oppress, plus people were here to offer treasures, which could be regarded as a legitimate reason, so Sun Shao had no choice but to come to find Lu An.
"Then I'll go and see you!" Lu An nodded slightly and walked out. Ordinary people estimate that few people will have the courage to come to the Taishou Mansion to make such a fuss, but now this old peasant wants to see himself alive or dead, unless he is a person with ulterior motives, otherwise there is really something he wants to offer to himself, so he should go to see it.
Coming to the door of the Taishou Mansion, an old man in his fifties was sitting on the stone steps outside the door to enjoy the shade, the old man's face was very dark and ordinary, and he had no temperament, dressed in cloth clothes, his hands were full of calluses, and he had a shabby straw hat on his head, as Sun Shao said, this was an ordinary old farmer, and there was nothing outstanding.
"Uncle, do you want to see me?" Lu An asked Sun Shao next to him, confirmed the identity of the old man, and then walked over lightly and said politely.
"Who are you?" Seeing that Lu An was followed by a large number of armor soldiers coming over and saluting him, the old farmer was startled, and hurriedly stood up from the stone steps, and asked with some trembling and frightened.
"Down there is Lu An, the word Xuantong!" Lu An replied very softly.
"You're Taishou-sama! The villain greets Lord Taishou! Hearing Lu An's identity, the old man's face was excited, and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Don't do this, please get up and speak!" Lu An helped him up, and patted the dust on his body very closely, showing a pro-people attitude with every move.
"Taishou-sama, I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself!" Seeing that Lu An personally helped him pat the dust, the old man actually had some old tears, and hurriedly avoided it slightly, and wiped the dust on his body that was not too much. "Why is my husband crying? Could it be that someone oppresses you? Lu An looked at the old farmer in front of him and suddenly left tears, a little speechless, and then thought of some possibility, and asked softly.
"No, it's not, no one oppressed us, it's just that Xiao Lao'er thought of the dignity of the ether guarding the throne of the Lord and actually helped Xiao Lao'er personally pat the dust, it's really, really!" As he spoke, the old farmer seemed to be about to shed tears again.
"Hehe, my husband doesn't have to be like this, I, Lu Xuantong, am just an ordinary person like you, but I was lucky enough to be appreciated by the imperial court, so I got some official positions!" Lu An showed a gentle smile and spoke. This scene reminded him of the occasion in his previous life when he saw the No. 1 head of the country on the news when he went to the countryside to inspect and meet ordinary people, and the people cried excitedly.
"Adults are not ordinary people, the villagers say that adults are the ninth generation of good people who became immortals, and they deliberately went down to earth to save us poor people." The old farmer hurriedly spoke. This is a saying that has been circulated throughout Wuling, and the old farmer is also convinced that in addition to the good people of the ninth generation like Lord Taishou, who else will distribute fields to the people, help them defeat Haoqiang, defeat demon beasts, and even shoot ashes for him an ordinary little old man regardless of his identity.
"Huh!" Lu An opened his mouth, he didn't know how to explain it for a while, I don't know when this kind of saying began to exist in the area of Wuling, and even many people offered him an immortal ranking, which made Lu An feel quite proud At the same time, he also felt a little embarrassed, he was a good living person, but he was given an immortal ranking by many people, which was really some.
"Uncle, didn't you say that there are treasures to be dedicated to Lord Taishou?" Seeing that Lu An was speechless for a while, Sun Shao took over the topic and said.
"Oh, yes, yes!" The old farmer hurriedly patted his head and said, "Please also ask Lord Taishou to send some armor soldiers over and go home with the little old man to get them!" β
"You didn't bring it with you?" Sun Shao frowned and asked.
"Well, please forgive me, that treasure is a bit big, and it's really inconvenient for the little old man to carry it!" The old farmer arched his hand.
"Uncle, in fact, there is no need to be like this, since it is your family heirloom, you can keep it for yourself, and you don't have to give it to me." Lu An smiled. In fact, speaking from the heart, Lu An did not have any hope for the heirloom of this old farmer from the beginning, his thoughts were the same as most people, what treasures could an ordinary old farmer have, but this old farmer had to see him in the name of offering treasures, so he couldn't chill the hearts of the people, so he ran out to meet, and at this time he saw the old farmer saying that the treasure was large, so he pushed the boat down the river.
"Hey, no, the little old man doesn't use the treasure at all, only the brave and extraordinary people like the Taishou can make the treasure have a place to use, to be honest, although this treasure is an heirloom passed down by the ancestor of the little old man, but the little old man has long forgotten it, until recently in an accident, this treasure revealed its original form in an accident, the little old man remembered, and wanted to give it to the Taishou, hoping that it can protect the Taishou well, so that the Taishou will never be plotted by traitors and villains!" The old farmer hurriedly waved his hand.
"Oh? What is it? When the old farmer said this, Lu An became a little interested and asked.
