Chapter 1550: Who's the Bully
After receiving double the wages, two carpenters installed the gate before dark. The courtyard gate of the Luo family itself is not big, just to slightly highlight the style of the hundred households, more wood is used, and the door panel and door frame are stronger and thicker.
I haven't painted yet, so tomorrow, the lacquer maker will come over to do it.
Bang!
After dark, my sister-in-law happily closed the door with her own hands, and touched and patted it.
At dinner, she muttered again: "There are too many things today, and I don't even care about going out to buy a maid." β
"Tomorrow. β
Luo Chong gnawed on the hard noodle flatbread and said vaguely: "Send two soldiers to protect you, so you dare to go to Renshizi, otherwise, my sister-in-law is so beautiful, don't be robbed by human traffickers." β
"How can I be? β
The sister-in-law suffered such a blatant compliment, she hung her head in great shame and protested in a low voice: "I'm all old and yellow, who will look at ......"
Twenty-one years old, this world is too precocious, right? Luo Chong pursed his lips and stuffed half of the cake into his mouth like gobbling it up.
"Eat slowly, no one will rob you. β
Luo's mother smiled and said: "This child eats, and he is like this when he is young, as if he can't feed him all day long." β
"Xiu'er's cooking is to my liking. β
Luo Chong said: "You don't know, the food in the barracks is okay, but the taste is the same as pig food." β
is just praising Luo Xiuer in disguise, but in fact, her cooking skills are not good. Over the years, eating bran vegetables can fill her stomach is very good, how can there be so many ingredients for her to learn cooking.
However, when these words fell into Luo Xiuer's ears, they were the most beautiful words. Despite the appearance, she is still so quiet.
"Why don't you like to laugh so much?"
Luo Chong looked at her and deliberately asked, "The hard days have passed, and we can't be so cold anymore." β
"Hmm. β
She whispered yes and covered it up for herself: "It's not nice to laugh." β
"With a good mouthful of teeth, and so white, why don't you dare to grin?"
Luo Chong tilted his head and asked Luo's mother: "Mother, you say, Xiu'er is not ugly when she laughs, right?"
"It's not ugly. β
Luo Mu smiled and nodded: "There is no ugly one in our family." β
Not to mention, the water and soil in Guangling Town are relatively weird, and they don't raise food, but they especially support people. Especially for women, even if the skin tone is tanned, the skin texture is still quite delicate. Groundwater contains an element that has the effect of strengthening and whitening teeth, and the old man and lady who hold a cigarette pouch and pot all day long have not very yellow teeth.
Luo Xiuer couldn't sit still because of what he said, she only knew to lower her head and eat hard, as if she wanted to finish it quickly and escape quickly.
Luo's mother only cared about being happy, but she didn't think that her baby son praised them at the dinner table for being suspicious of molesting, and she was in a good mood, and her tolerance also increased.
The sets of tables and chairs are the most expensive and the best in the furniture shop, and they are delivered early, and it is called a comfortable sofa to sit on, although it is far less than the earth's sofa.
The beds and wardrobes in the four big rooms have also been replaced with the best, and Luo's mother is still worried: Can she enjoy such a good bed?
I sent a servant, and I will do it tomorrow.
Luo Chong pondered for a while, and then changed his words: "No, I'll go with my sister-in-law tomorrow." Those big-headed soldiers are okay to fight, but without professional training in escorts, they can almost be fooled if they come and turn the tiger away from the mountain. β
"Not really. β
My sister-in-law was full of joy in her heart, and she was still hiding it: "You are not at home, and no one is running to rob me." β
Luo Mu said: "Let's go, after all, I have already offended Wang Qide, and I am not very relieved about others." β
The mother-in-law had an order, and the sister-in-law naturally agreed.
After the meal, Luo Chong went to the homes of several flag officials and instructed them to send a few soldiers to Luo's house every day to take turns to stand guard. Although they can solve the world with a single thought, and no one can hurt them, but in this way, at least Luo Mu and the others will feel at ease.
Go to Luo's house to stand guard, the soldiers must be willing, because they know that the hundred households will not use us in vain, do one thing, there will be a share of money to take, in the words of the hundred households, what is it called...... Well, get paid, and you get more for more work.
Early the next morning, I heard Luo's mother and sister-in-law talking in the yard: the bed was really comfortable, but the first night, I was so excited that I didn't sleep well......
"Mother, my face is not very good-looking, right?"
My sister-in-law was still a little worried, the bronze mirror in the house was too blurry, and she couldn't see details such as eye bags, fine lines, and dark circles clearly.
"It's ok. β
Luo's mother's answer seemed a little casual, and she was muttering in her heart: You are his sister-in-law, not his daughter-in-law, what does it matter if it looks good or not.
Crash!
When Law rushed out, he tore his door again. It doesn't matter, the master carpenter will come over today to replace the doors of each room, and he will save them from dismantling this time.
"Let's go, sister-in-law. β
Luo Chong didn't wear a military uniform, but changed into a blue-black warrior suit, with ape arms and a bee waist, looking quite tall and neat.
The sister-in-law looked at him a little distracted, but suddenly woke up because of Luo Chong's call, and covered up her heart as if she was empty: "Mother, they are really like brothers, and the younger brother is more burly." β
The little widow remembered her deceased husband and was undoubtedly the best cover.
"Hmm. β
Luo's mother didn't doubt him, and looked at her son happily: "Brother, how can it not be like it." β
Then, Luo Chong escorted his sister-in-law and went out. The two GIs were already standing outside the courtyard gate, with swords hanging on their waists, and their postures were straight and decent.
"The uniforms are still ugly, gray, like turtles. β
Luo Chong muttered in his heart.
The sister-in-law was wearing the new clothes she bought yesterday, she was white, and she also wore a whole set of jewelry given by Luo Chong, her own conditions were sufficient, and this dress easily had the image and temperament that the official's family should have.
The width between the two is maintained by one meter, and Luo Chong is still half a step behind, after all, it is an uncle and sister-in-law, and they can't get too close on the street.
The sister-in-law was still feeling guilty because of the germination of her heart just now, and she was embarrassed to take the initiative to talk to Luo Chong, and after walking for a while, Luo Chong was the first to speak: "Sister-in-law, there are too many places for money in the future, and there is no need to think about making money, there will be a lot of silver sent home, this is the benefit of being an official." β
"Hmm. β
The sister-in-law listened quietly.
Luo Chong said again: "So, you shouldn't be too frugal, what you should enjoy, you should enjoy to the fullest." β
"It's already good. β
The sister-in-law replied: "It's too extravagant all of a sudden, but it will be very uncomfortable." No matter how great the blessing is, you can't enjoy it all in one day......"
Speaking of which, just passing by the grocery store, my sister-in-law hurriedly changed her words: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and buy a few bronze mirrors, the ones at home are already unbearable." β
Passed down from ancestors, it took decades, and the copper plate had to be worn out.
"Don't buy it. β
Luo Chong immediately stopped: "The copper mirror is not easy to use, go back and give you a better one, that clear Cheng dΓΉ, it is guaranteed to frighten you." β
Of course, Luo Chong is referring to glass mirrors, which are also available in this world, but they are expensive, and they all belong to the royal tribute, saying that it is an untold secret of a certain country in the Western Regions.
It's a bit like the antiquity of the earth, isn't it?
It is not surprising that Luo Chong has long determined that this world has a high resemblance to the ancient times of the earth in many ways.
Hearing him say this, the sister-in-law was full of curiosity, but walking on the street, it was not easy to ask too many questions. In fact, at this moment, she was still embarrassed to turn her head to look at Luo Chong.
took off his ugly military uniform, and the little brother looked like he was simply ...... I can't say it clearly, as if it can suck people's minds into it.
Soon came to the human market, that is, the slave market, but because Guangling Town was not large, there were few traffickers, and the so-called market was surrounded by more than a dozen rag tents in the open space.
"Oh, Lord Baihu is here. β
A fat-covered trafficker recognized Luo Chong and greeted him with a strange smell.
The slaves were kept like pigs and dogs, and their body odor polluted the air, which was mixed with the strong smell of rouge on the traffickers.
"Buy two maids, obedient and sensible, thirteen or fourteen years old. β
Luo Chong wanted to be as concise as possible, buy it and leave, as for the health of the slave is not important, such a living situation, it is impossible to be healthy. Anyway, you need your own secret conditioning so that you don't infect your family with those germs.
"Of course, of course. β
The trafficker nodded her head and looked extremely respectful. Yesterday, the killing sound shook the sky, and the whole town could hear it, who would dare to be disrespectful to this Luo Baihu.
I'm afraid it's a peerless murderer in Guangling Town who is difficult to produce in a hundred years, and the old military households have already talked about it like this, otherwise, it would be impossible for dozens of people to exude such a murderous aura.
The general is fierce, and the soldier is fierce!
After a while, a total of six dirty little girls were led by the trafficker to Luo Chong and her sister-in-law, saying that the girls of the right age were here.
Luo Chong frowned, obviously dissatisfied with these few, so he pointed to a tent not far away: "Why didn't you bring out the two in there?"
Oh, with such sharp eyes, can you still see through?
The female trader chuckled in her heart, didn't dare to hide it, and quickly explained with a smile: "Those two are for the mayor of the town, and they have just been sent from Guangling City, and it has been less than half an hour." β
Two little girls with clear eyebrows and clean clothes sat quietly in the tent with their knees crossed, and at first glance they had been specially taught, and the domestic servants they had cultivated since childhood were probably from a noble family with a fallen family, and they were all good at serving people.
It is said that there are no more than three generations of wealth, and in any year, someone will rise at any time, and someone will fall to the bottom at any time, and the family will be depressed, and they can't afford to support so many servants, so of course they can only sell.
"I want both. β
Luo Chong waved his hand: "You go and tell the mayor that I took the lead, and if you are not convinced, go to me." β
"Huh?"
The female trafficker's face was full of sorrow, and she protested in a low voice: "Lord Baihu, this is not good. β
"You're a human trafficker, what's so good or bad. β
Luo Chong snorted coldly: "Sooner or later, you will go to hell, when you are alive, just eat soft and be afraid of hard." Do you think, am I soft or hard?"
"Hundred Households ......"
The trafficker was still hesitating, and when she saw Luo Chong's fingers gently rubbing the handle of the knife on her waist, she quickly nodded: "Cheng, Cheng, as long as the adults of the hundred households can look down on them, it will be the honor of the villain." β
If you annoy the mayor, you still have a chance to make up for it, but if you anger this fierce god, it is not certain whether you can live until tomorrow morning. The three masters of the Liu family were all stabbed into a hornet's nest in the dark, if it wasn't for the horse, who would believe it!
My sister-in-law blinked on the side, and said in her heart: Okay, she said that she came with me, but there was nothing wrong with me...... However, how did the little brother become so arrogant and domineering, like a natural bully.
Naturally, I also recalled in my mind that a few years ago, he was not very sensible and mischievous, rebellious and willful, and he really had some potential in this regard.
Next, the trafficker brought out the two little maids in the tent, and the sister-in-law liked it at first sight, but she was faintly distressed: such a maid is from the official eunuch's house, and it costs a lot of silver to buy two at once, right?
However, before she could make a judgment, several people made a loud noise, and at the same time had to avoid the dirty puddle under her feet, and stepped into the so-called market gate made of broken wooden planks.
Bad thing!
The peddrel's face turned pale in an instant, and she cried out in her heart: Why is it such a coincidence, the eldest young master of the mayor's family is also here.
She forgot that it was herself not long ago, and she hurriedly sent someone to the mayor's house to inform: Congratulations, young master, the goods you want have arrived!
