"Madam, are you scared?" Grandma Cui saw that Mrs. Xiao hadn't spoken for a long time, so she held her cold hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Taiyang County is safe now."
Xiao Luolan wanted to smile, but she couldn't. Her heart was heavy. Behind the one or two lines in the history books were countless blood and bones.
"Auntie, Mrs. Dou told me that Luo Langjun is here and waiting for us in the front yard and central hall." Xiao Qingxue came in to find her mother, followed by Fang Yun.
She still dressed up as a man, wearing a round-neck robe embroidered with bamboo patterns, a jade belt around her waist, a fan, and a small whip in her hand. When she opened the door and came in, she looked like a suave and romantic young lady. Similar.
Granny Cui got up from the embroidery stool and stood not far from the house.
Xiao Qingxue said hello to her with curved eyes: "Grandma Cui, good morning."
Granny Cui's face blossomed with a smile: "My little lady is well." She was used to seeing a lot of miserable people and things, and suddenly seeing Madam Xiao's innocent look reminded Granny Cui of herself when she was a child.
"Mom, let's go take a look." Xiao Qingxue circled around her mother: "Mom looks really good today."
"Why are you holding the whip?" Xiao Luolan stood up and asked. The whip in her daughter's hand was not big. The whip handle was made of gold and the whip body was green. Compared with the whip of Clan Leader Zhou, it looked more like a toy. .
Xiao Qingxue replied coyly: "I just like whips." Swinging a whip is so majestic. A person as powerful as Zongzhu Zhou carries a whip with him, and she wants to bring it too. There happens to be a whip in the box that was delivered. It was neither long nor short, and the size was just right in her hand. She really liked it, so she took it. She could also imitate Clan Master Zhou and pin the whip to the side of her waist or lower back.
"Let's go and take a look." Xiao Qingxue took her mother's arm and went out with her.
After passing through the corridor and the moon gate, and just arriving on the stone path in the front yard, Zhou Liulang and the foreign boy Lang came face to face, followed by six tribes behind him.
Zhou Liulang looked ugly. On a sunny day, his face was covered in cold sweat, and the injury on his back was still in severe pain.
Mrs. Xiao, who was wearing makeup and powder in the front, looked more and more gorgeous and extravagant. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a golden hairpin and a ring.
Zhou Liulang looked at Granny Cui behind Mrs. Xiao and stopped for a moment. Granny Cui didn't care much, but her younger brother Cui Shizi was the scheming figure next to his uncle and his true confidant.
Xiao Luolan originally wanted the domineering Zhou Liulang to leave first, but he didn't expect that this time, the sixteenth Lang would stand aside with his head lowered, looking respectful, and his attitude was as innocent as when they first met. Different places.
Xiao Luolan walked by with her daughter and looked back. Zhou Liulang was still standing there with his head bowed.
"Madam, you don't have to worry about him." Granny Cui said softly.
Xiao Luolan looked at her and felt that she was right. She only needed to grasp the most important thing. Only in this way would she and her daughter be safe.
"Mrs. Xiao is well." In the lobby, Luo Jinhu looked at the glittering Mrs. Xiao. He was very happy with how favored she was. He did not dare to neglect at all, and bowed his hands deeply to Mrs. Xiao.
"You're welcome, Mr. Luo Lang." Xiao Luolan was blessed and met Mrs. Dou again.
Luo Jinhu didn't dare to accept it and turned sideways: "Please sit down."
"Does Mr. Luo Lang have something important to do here?" Xiao Luolan asked.
Luo Jinhu said excitedly: "I am here to report to you that the sales of soap have been very successful. The first batch of the previously produced soap has been cleared, and many noble people are vying for it. Most of the next batch has been booked. "
Xiao Luolan didn't expect to hear this good news. Although she had sold things before, it took time for a new product to become a big hit. She couldn't believe how successful it was.
"Really?" Xiao Qingxue asked in surprise.
Mrs. Dou in the hall smiled and said: "Of course it is true, especially Qibai Soap. If Luo Langjun hadn't left it to me, I wouldn't have been able to buy it."
Luo Jinhu then bowed again: "Mrs. Xiao, there is something I didn't tell you about this sale. Please forgive me."
Xiao Luolan said: "Luo Langjun, please tell me, no big gift is needed."
"Because the soap recipe was provided by you and Mrs. Xiao, and my wife heard from Mrs. Dou that it belongs to your family, so when I sold it, I made it clear that this soap was specially used for bathing in Mrs. Xiao's family. As soon as the soap came out, many noble ladies sent their maids to buy it, and there was an endless stream of soap, which is why it sold so well."
Xiao Luolan understood. In fact, the series of gimmicks in front were just attractive gimmicks. Thinking about it, she thought it was nothing. After all, she had made money.
"Nothing, Luo Langjun doesn't need to worry about it." Xiao Luolan said with a smile.
Luo Jinhu smiled and said: "Actually, I should tell you about it, but I forgot about it when I got busy. Fortunately, you don't care. Sure enough, you are as kind-hearted and kind-hearted as what people outside said. .”
Xiao Luolan was stunned for a moment: "What kind of people from outside?"
Luo Jinhu said: "Didn't you selflessly contribute the prescriptions of the doctors in your family and engrave them on the medical monument outside the city? There has been a lot of rumors outside these days, and the people in Taiyang County are praising you."
"Especially the first aid method for children with choking and coughing. A woman from Ranfang used the method you taught her to save her child. Yesterday morning she came to the medical monument to thank you for your prescription. Everyone in Taiyang County knew this. Know."
Xiao Luolan immediately thought of Sect Master Zhou. Is he busy with this matter these days?
"It would be nice to help someone." Xiao Luolan blushed. She didn't come up with this idea herself, but she was still sincerely happy to hear that a child had been rescued.
Luo Jinhu said sincerely: "Moreover, Master Jiedushi also asked some doctors and medical doctors to compile some medical books, which also contain your prescriptions, and put them in the Hongwen Museum for everyone to watch and study for free. There is no problem in copying and copying in the library. This is really a great kindness." Regardless of the fact that any knowledge is still extremely precious to the people at the bottom, it is the first time for Luo Jinhu to see Mrs. Xiao who is the first to share her family's treasured medical prescriptions for free to benefit the common people.
After Luo Jinhu leaves.
"Sect Leader Zhou is really a good person." Xiao Qingxue couldn't help but say.
"Yes." Xiao Luolan still couldn't come to her senses. Although Sect Master Zhou could not call her a gentleman, he had truly protected many people in this era, including them.
When Granny Cui heard this, she glanced at Mrs. Xiao. The Jieduzhao Lord was already very prestigious in Youzhou. The people in Youzhou didn't know about the emperor but only knew about the majority in Youzhou. Taiyang was just a pilot project. When this move becomes popular in Youzhou, As the state spreads, the people's hearts already gathered in Zhou Youzhou will reach a new level, and even Mrs. Xiao, who was the first to contribute the prescription, will also be loved.
This is obviously building momentum for Mrs. Xiao.
Granny Cui lowered her head when she thought of this.
At noon, Xiao Luolan looked at the scorching sun outside, and thought of how Zongzhu Zhou was busy outside with the prescriptions she sent before he returned to the house. She couldn't sit still. She got the benefit of hiding in the house, cool and leisurely, Zhou The sect master has been busy for several days.
Xiao Luolan couldn't enjoy the coolness in the house with peace of mind.
"Madam, there is sour plum soup in the kitchen. Would you like a bowl to relieve the heat?" Grandma Cui asked with a smile.
Xiao Luolan thought for a while and said, "Put a bowl of well water that has been cooled and put it in the food box."
Granny Cui: "Yes."
Half an hour later, Granny Cui came over with a food box. Xiao Luolan hesitated again and again with the food box. This was the first time she took the initiative to leave the house and go outside. She has always had an inexplicable feeling about the outside world. Sense of fear.
But in the end, she still carried the food box and went out.
"Madam, let me get it." Seeing that Mrs. Xiao had forgotten them again, Granny Cui smiled and took the food box from her hand. In fact, she didn't understand why Mrs. Xiao was so resistant to the outside world. Logically speaking, just follow Zhou Youzhou It's surprising enough that she's not arrogant and domineering regarding the importance she places on her.
"I want to go out." Xiao Luolan said, "But first I want to see my daughter."
Granny Cui should be.
Xiao Luolan went to her daughter's Xinghua Residence and found that she had a whip and was rising. There was a Lei's knight in front of her who taught her how to use the whip. Fang Yun stood aside and cut peaches for the young lady.
"Lei's cavalry servants are very skilled in martial arts, so it would be a good idea to teach the little lady how to defend herself," Granny Cui said.
Granny Cui emphasized her tone: "As long as you want it, and it doesn't involve major matters, the Lei family's servants are also yours."
Xiao Luolan bit her lip, her breathing was slightly turbulent, and she slowly clenched her palms. Isn't this the power she wants? With power, she won't do anything bad. She just wants to live safely with her daughter.
When going out.
Xiao Luolan told Lei Shan that she wanted to go out.
Lei Shan nodded and said he understood.
Xiao Luolan was sitting in the carriage, and outside were Lei Shan and four servants, all riding horses and carrying swords to protect the carriage.
Xiao Luolan just let go of her clenched hand, and a crescent-like red mark was pinched out of her palm. She looked out the window. Through the gauze curtain, there was a lot of people outside. The heat wave and the sound of people hit her, which made her feel a little... Realism.
Li Hanzhang saw the carriage escorted by Lei's cavalry at a glance. He stood in front of the restaurant and watched the carriage drive slowly by. The breeze blew the gauze, and the woman's face was looming, except for her lips, which were as red as cherry blossoms.
He watched for a while and then returned to the restaurant. His father's resignation had been submitted and he was waiting for the Holy Emperor's reply.
It won't be long before they leave Taiyang. It is obviously something they have dreamed of, but it feels like being driven out like a dog. He has lost all face. His brother has lost four fingers. The Taiyang County Sheriff was so quarrelsome that Li Hanzhang asked his father who would succeed him, but his father said that he didn't know either.
Who is the one? This time, Li Hanzhang no longer believed in those who wrote against Zhou Youzhou. Who knows if some of them were pretending.
Just like their Li family.
Li Hanzhang's cheekbones suddenly turned red when he thought of this. His long-standing family faith was broken by his father himself, but he still pretended to be nonchalant. He took a sip of strong wine and passed out drunk on the table.
Xiao Luolan lifted up the curtain and looked at the Luo's Soap Shop not far away. It is located not far from the Jinyu Building in the West Market. It has a total of three floors. The area is not very large, but the cornices are heavily warped and the vermilion railings are Yu, it's very artistic. People come and go inside, mostly women. The business does look very good.
Xiao Luolan looked at it for a while, and was suddenly startled by the black whip that was pointed at an angle.
"Mrs. Xiao?" Zhou Xu sat on the horse and looked at Mrs. Xiao in the carriage, his eyes immediately lit up.
Xiao Luolan originally wanted to give her sour plum soup, but when the others arrived, she couldn't say anything.
When the carriage reached a quiet place, Zhou Xu dismounted and entered the carriage.
The carriage was filled with fragrance. Zhou Xu was sitting on the green mat, looking at Mrs. Xiao who was wearing new clothes and new jewelry with a smile.
"I heard from Luo Langjun that you carved the prescription on the medical monument." Xiao Luolan opened the food box, took out the slightly cold sour plum soup, poured a cup and put it on the table, while speaking to relieve her nervousness: " I also told the people in the city my name, I..."
"It's not urgent, let me kiss you." When Zhou Xu saw Mrs. Xiao in a gorgeous dress, the longing that he had suppressed burst out, and he couldn't suppress it at all. He directly hugged her in his arms and kissed her sweetly.
Xiao Luolan's face turned red and she hadn't said her thanks yet.
Zhou Xu drank the sour plum soup in one gulp and lowered his head comfortably on Madam Xiao's neck. Xiao Luolan turned slightly to look at Zongzhu Zhou and found that his skin color was darker and even his beard was much rougher. There were people beside her carriage. It's Lei's cavalry, but Sect Leader Zhou doesn't seem to care...
Zhou Xu held Mrs. Xiao in his arms, and his tall and tall figure completely covered her. He smelled her fragrance and said with a smile: "It's nothing about the medical monument. When the cowpox has a clear effect, it won't be too late for you to thank me. "
Did Sect Leader Zhou give all the credit to himself? Xiao Luolan felt for a moment that this friendship was so important.
Zhou Xu turned Mrs. Xiao to face him. The light green smoked and heavy gauze skirt was really beautiful on her body. She was wearing a jeweled ring and a golden step. Under the dark eyebrows in the distant mountains, her eyes were full of spring water, her cherry lips, and her waist were filled with crispy moon willows. .
"But if Madam really wants to thank you, I don't mind." Zhou Xu kissed the tip of Madam Xiao's ear: "It's just that the thank you gift I need is different from what Madam wants. Can Madam accept it?"
Xiao Luolan looked at Sect Leader Zhou for a long time, but still couldn't nod.
Zhou Xu was not surprised and asked Mrs. Xiao to sit on his waist. Recently, he particularly liked this position. He could clearly see the expression on Mrs. Xiao's face. Naturally, he also saw her struggle to endure.
If she could repay in other ways, Mrs. Xiao would definitely be very happy.
But he didn't accept it.
Zhou Xu smiled, asked Mrs. Xiao to lie on top of him, rubbed her neck with his big hands, and smiled softly: "What do you want, Madam?"
Whenever this happens, Xiao Luolan will be particularly afraid of this man. His eyes seem to be able to see through everything, and she can't hide in front of him. She trembles unconsciously.
Zhou Xu's hands went into Yanluo's heavy gauze skirt, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Fame, power, family background...I can give them all."
"I want my wife to always be high up and never fall into the dust."
Xiao Luolan's eyes were unconsciously covered with mist.
Zhou Xu looked at Mrs. Xiao's pitiful and cute appearance, kissed her temples distressedly, and said in a low voice: "There are people outside, Madam, please be sure to keep your voice lower later, so as not to be heard."
Xiao Luolan bit her lip desperately, trembling all over and turning pink all over. The hem of her blue skirt was bulging and not even touching each other. Her fingers were tightly curled together. Her tears were forced down by her shame. In this world, How could there be such a bastard like Sect Leader Zhou!
After a long time.
Zhou Xu hugged her again. He felt refreshed and wanted to kiss Mrs. Xiao, but she avoided her. The beauty still couldn't stop trembling in his arms.
Zhou Xu praised in a low voice: "Madam is really trustworthy, she really didn't make any sound at all."
Xiao Luolan's cheeks were red with shame and anger, and she glared at Sect Master Zhou.
