As soon as Xiao Duheng's words came out, there was a brief silence at the dinner table.

Shi Fei and Tai Shu were called by Chu Han to get to know the master of Judantang, the head of the Xiao family, after all, there will definitely be times to deal with each other in the future, and it is necessary to be familiar with the head of the Xiao family and the young master.

But because they didn't know much about her, and they didn't know what had happened between her and Chu Han, the two couldn't interject rashly.

Anyway, after Shi Fei took the pill given by Chu Han, he became even more desperate for her~~ Overnight, not only did the external injuries disappear, but there was no trace left, even if it was a medicine of the medical saint, it may not be so wonderful, right?

Regarding Xiao Duheng's temptation, although she pouted in her heart, she wisely kept silent.

Shi Fei didn't speak, Tai Shu didn't speak~~ From discovering that Shi Fei drove her to recognize Chu Han as the master, and then to Shi Fei's mind and more and more talent that appeared day by day in her work, she naturally took a look at Shi Fei's expression and reaction at every critical moment.

If the rod is gone, can I still eat the fish? Ren Tianyou was laughing at her greed in his heart, and Wuwu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly interjected and asked, "Sister Chu, what does it mean that people's hearts are not enough to swallow the snake?" ”

Belch......

He pointed the finger at Xiao Duheng, Chu Han didn't know how to answer for a while, Ren Tianyou, Shi Fei and others all gave a thumbs up to Wu Wu, Xiao Duheng was slightly red, so embarrassed that he wanted to get up and leave the table immediately.

Ren Tianyou laughed and said: "Look at the poor road, Master Xiao doesn't need to spend that unjust money at all, when Gongzi Ling and Menghan get married, isn't hers yours?" What else do you share with each other? Not to mention just a Jin Illusion Elixir, even if it is more valuable, Menghan is willing to give it to Xiao Gongzi with both hands! ”

Xiao Duheng smiled awkwardly, seeing that Chu Han did not express his position, he clearly refused with silence, and he no longer continued to find himself unhappy.

The meal became boring, but there was no need to waste any more time grinding, and it quickly dispersed.

However, when the group was about to get up, Chu Han's blue eyes narrowed slightly: "Interesting!" ”

What's interesting? Everyone was confused, but Chu Han swept out directly from the window, leaving a sentence: "Ren Tianyou will take Master Xiao back to the house for me to rest, I will come when I go!" ”

After several people looked at each other, they went downstairs to return home, but Shi Fei and Tai Shu received a message from Chu Han at the same time: "You two quickly take people to the south city gate to greet our new city lord!" ”

Shi Fei immediately understood that Chu Han was asking the two of her to avoid Xiao Duheng and not let her know, so he and Tai Shu said goodbye to the three of them on the pretext of going to the store to do errands, and then left.

At the city gate, a young woman with a small and delicate face and a simple cloth bag kept explaining to the city gate guards: "You let me in, I am really the new city lord, it's just because I first came to the treasure land, you don't know each other, so I feel that I am really not a bad person!" ”

The two guards looked her up and down again, and said impatiently, "Go, go, just like you?" Also the new city owner? The new beggar is about the same, right? ”

The young woman's delicate face flushed, but she still said patiently: "I really am, I don't believe it, I don't believe that I will show you the appointment certificate!" ”

"Letter of appointment?" One of the guards furrowed his eyebrows, "Show us first!" ”

"Okay, I'll take it right away." The woman hurriedly took off the cloth bag on her shoulder, looked around, and found that there were no clean and smooth stones or anything, so she had to put it directly on the ground, untie the burden and find the appointment certificate.

Another guard snorted, "It's fake, right?" If she can be the city lord like her, then I, Hu San, can go to heaven and become a god! ”

"Found it, found it!" The woman took out the folded thin paper book and handed it to the guard, the previous guard took it, opened it and frowned, "Is there really one?" ”

"It's fake at first glance!" The guard who called Hu San snatched it over, only glanced at it, kicked it out, and shouted: "You are so bold, you dare to pretend to be an official of the imperial court, I will send you to the yamen now!" ”

Her hand was about to tear the appointment, and the woman who was kicked to the ground was so anxious that tears were about to flow out: "Can't tear it!" Can't tear it! ”

"Stop!" When a loud shout came, a figure also swept quickly, "Insult and beat the court officials, you are such a big dog!" ”

She pulled out the paper book and pulled it out with one palm, and the guard was immediately swept away after more than a dozen steps before falling to the ground, and the corners of his mouth were also overflowing with blood, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

The woman hurriedly shouted: "Don't hit people, don't beat people, you will die!" ”

Chu Han shook his head and stretched out his hand to help her: "My lord is frightened!" ”

"Out of the way, thank you!" The woman was helped to stand up by her and patted the ashes on her body, but as soon as she saw the dust floating on Chu Han's expensive clothes, she immediately took it lightly, just symbolically patted it twice, and then said with a smile, "Thank you for coming to relieve me of the siege, I am really the new city lord of Shunfeng City, this is my letter of appointment." ”

She pointed to the edict in Chu Han's hand, Chu Han glanced at it quickly, and then returned it to her: "Under Chu Menghan, welcome Lord Cheng!" ”

The woman smiled innocently: "It turns out that your name is Chu Menghan, and my name is Cheng~~"

Before she finished speaking, the guard exclaimed from the side: "My God, it turns out that it is really the Young Master of Heavenly Xuanwu Venerable Chu!" ”

Syllable!

Her cheeks, which had been slapped in the face, suddenly swollen high, her mouth and nose were bleeding at the same time, and Chu Han said coldly: "What is the crime of interrupting the city lord's speech without authorization, and having no dignity or humility?" ”

The woman hurriedly went to pull her: "Don't fight, don't fight, she's bleeding!" Stop fighting! ”

"Don't you kneel down to welcome the city lord Lord Cheng into the city?" As soon as Chu Han put his momentum into his bearing, the guard was immediately pressed to the point of paleness, and he knelt down with a thud, and said tremblingly: "Villain Liu Erbao greets your lord!" ”

As soon as her words fell, she heard the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the city, and Shi Fei and Tai Shu had chosen to bring more than a dozen people from the Chu Group to rush together.

Chu Han turned his body, turned his back to the city, faced the woman, and said slightly: "Welcome Lord Cheng to the city!" ”

Her voice was full of internal force, echoing in the sky above the city, Shi Fei, Tai Shu and others had already turned over and dismounted, and at this time, they all bowed and followed Chu Han and said loudly: "Welcome Lord Cheng to the city!" ”

"Thank you! Thank you! The woman's face flushed, and she was as helpless as a shy man, "I...... I haven't done anything practical for the people of the city, you, you have such a big formation, I ...... Jinghu deserves it! ”

As she spoke, she bowed down and saluted everyone back, and Chu Han said, "What about the adult's sedan chair?" ”

Shi Fei hurriedly said: "Back to the young master, the sedan chair has been prepared!" Soft car! ”

She stood up, and with a wave of her hand, more than a dozen people spread out and stood neatly on both sides, and a sedan chair was carried from behind.

Cheng Jinghu waved his hand again and again: "No, no, you guys, it's too troublesome, I'll just walk over!" ”

Chu Han said undoubtedly: "Lord Cheng has rushed all the way, it is already very hard, where can you still suffer?" Fly in history, Tai Shu, help adults get on the sedan chair! ”

"Yes!" Shi Fei and Tai Shu immediately stepped forward in response, and set up Cheng Jinghu on the left and right: "My lord, please get on the sedan chair!" ”

"No, no, I really don't need to ......" Cheng Jinghu swung his arms and was sent into the soft sedan chair in his own writhing opposition, Shi Fei whispered: "My lord, please sit tight!" Then he shouted loudly: "I respectfully invite the city lord to stay in the city lord's mansion and get up the sedan chair!" ”

The women of the sedan chair immediately lifted the sedan chair and moved forward steadily. Tai Shu reported in a low voice: "Young master, it's really too late to invite the gong and drum team, so ......"

Chu Han waved his hand: "It's okay, this has already impressed her." Let you bury the pile in advance, have you already entered the city lord's mansion? ”

Tai Shu said: "It was arranged before lunch, does the young master have any other instructions?" ”

Chu Han said: "The new city lord came to serve alone, and there is no one available in his hands, so he will immediately select a batch of reliable ones and send them in, and do his best to assist the city lord!" ”

"W-Isn't that too obvious?" Tai Shu didn't understand Chu Han's intentions for a while, "Whether it's the city lord or someone else, you can see through it at a glance." ”

"Just let them know." Chu Han glanced at her obliquely, "The two people in front are the dark piles, and these people are the open piles sent in by Dafang!" ”

Tai Shu thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "The young master is smart!" Subordinates go do it right away! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left quickly, Chu Han shook his head, Tai Shu's comprehension was really slightly inferior to Shi Fei.

As soon as the soft sedan car entered the city lord's mansion, the hot water was boiled and poured into the bath bucket, allowing Cheng Jinghu to take a good bath and wash away the dust all the way.

Changing into her own clean and simple clothes, she was personally taken to the dining room by the butler who was waiting outside.

Cheng Jinghu, who had eaten all the dry food all the way, saw that there were only two dishes and one soup on the table, and nodded happily: "Thank you, your speed is really fast!" ”

The housekeeper smiled and said, "After the young master of Chu learned that it was you at the city gate, he immediately transmitted the message to the people in the Chu Mansion, and the Chu Mansion immediately sent someone to inform us to boil water and prepare food as quickly as possible to welcome you." ”

"Transsion?" Cheng Jinghu was puzzled.

"It's the art of transmitting sound for thousands of miles." The butler explained with a smile.

"Oooh!" Cheng Jinghu nodded, as if he didn't know who could use the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique, and said while sitting: "I'm really lucky to be her today, if she hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to enter the city until now!" ”

"That's the city gate guard, not long-sighted," the butler smiled, "It's also the two of you!" ”

"When you say that, I also think it's really fateful!" She ate two bites of food and suddenly said: "She looks very rich, she wears clothes with gold threads, and her bearing is also extraordinary!" Well...... And also...... She even dared to fight the city gate guards, and the city gate guards looked like they were afraid of her! ”

The housekeeper said with a smile: "My lord doesn't know, Young Master Chu is a celebrity in Shunfeng City, not only has many industries, but also does good deeds everywhere, relieves the poor people, paves roads and bridges, and also sends people to Taoist temples and temples to pray for the people!" ”

"Good! Ok, good, good! Cheng Jinghu praised repeatedly, "As the saying goes, take it from the people, use it for the people, she earns the people's money, and then uses this money to benefit the people, which is really good!" ”

The housekeeper was speechless, and Cheng Jinghu saw that she was silent for a long time, and wondered: "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”

The housekeeper recovered the smile on his face and bowed slightly: "My lord, you have just arrived in Shunfeng City, and many things are still not clear, most of the business of Young Master Chu is to make money from rich people. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Jinghu asked curiously, "For example? ”

"For example, gold and silver jewelry shops, such as garment shops and cloth villages made of high-quality fabrics, such as teahouses and restaurants, these are places that only rich people can afford, and inns, most of which are Jianghu warriors, only the iron shop is for the general public, but the price of kitchen knives, sickles, axes and other household or agricultural ironware is very low, and it does not make money from the poor people."

"Oh?" Cheng Qinghu's chewing movements slowed down, "In this way, she is really a good person!" By the way, you know so well, you should be a native of Shunfeng City and a housekeeper who has been in the City Lord's Mansion for many years, right? ”

The housekeeper smiled and said: "My lord, the small one is the new housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion, the cheap name is Lu Qianming, you can call the little old road." You must have heard about the previous city lord before you took office, because she ...... All the family members and subordinates dispersed, and the young lord of Chu was afraid that there would be no one to help take care of the new city lord when he took office, so he personally found the little one and asked the little one if he was willing to come to the city lord's mansion to wait for the new city lord. Don't be angry when you say it, you can be looked down upon by the young master of Chu, and the small one is naturally willing, even if it is rumored that the city lord's mansion is how, the small one is willing. Now that I see you, I feel that I have really come to the right place! An upright adult like you, even if there are really demons and monsters, it won't dare to get close to you or the City Lord's Mansion! ”

Cheng Qinghu covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves like a man, and chuckled: "The Immortal Devil Dao is just a legend from a thousand years ago, you really believe it!" ”

Lu Qianming smiled: "There are many rumors, it is inevitable that there will be some doubts, but now that you are here, the little ones don't care!" If the adults feel that the small ones are still available, the small ones are willing to stay for a long time and do their best to take care of the affairs of the house for the adults! If adults feel that the small ones are not suitable and not easy to use, they will ...... Only...... Whether the little one can stay or not depends on the words of the adult! ”

Cheng Qinghu saw that she was loyal at first, and then showed a pitiful look after speaking, and immediately said: "You are very good, and I don't know anyone, just stay and help me!" I'm a newcomer, I'm not familiar with anywhere, I'm afraid I'll have to work hard for you in the future! ”

"Your Excellency!" Lu Qianming hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you, sir!" Adults have orders, and small ones will obey everything, and they will do their best to do it well! ”

"Oh, what are you doing, get up, hurry up!" Cheng Qinghu hurriedly put down the bowl and got up to help her, "Lao Lu, you are the same age as my aunt, don't kneel in the future!" As the old saying goes, the old kneel and the young will lose their life, I still want to live a few more years, you can't break my life! ”

"This, this ......" Lu Qianming was puzzled, "but you are an adult, etiquette cannot be abolished, if people know that the housekeeper of the adult's family doesn't even understand etiquette, they will laugh at the adult's poor teaching!" ”

"That, that," Cheng Qinghu thought for a while and said, "Then when outsiders have to kneel again, you kneel again, don't kneel in the house on weekdays, and don't always call yourself small, okay?" ”

Lu Qianming kowtowed and said, "Lord Xie!" ”

Cheng Qinghu pretended to be annoyed: "If you don't kneel, you still kowtow, don't you still fold my life?" Not up yet? ”

"Yes, yes!" Lu Qianming hurriedly stood up: "Thank you, sir!" Eat quickly, my lord, it's going to be cold! ”

"It's pretty much the same," Cheng Qinghu walked back to the dinner table, "In the future, I will talk like this, like a family member, unrestrained, and comfortable." ”

"Yes, my lord, it is a blessing to be able to follow the adults!" Lu Qianming said, "My lord, you eat first, Lao Lu will clean up the room for the adult, you work all the way, take a rest after eating, and do the same thing when your physical strength recovers, okay?" ”

Cheng Qinghu nodded: "The old road is very thoughtful, so let's do it." ”

Lu Qianming answered yes and retreated. When she went out and turned the corner, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Qinghu in the house looked out of the door, shook his head slightly, smiled, and continued to eat.
