Chapter 117 Proficient in ‘melody’

"To break the civil balance? No."

Long Xiang asked and answered his own questions, and added: "The people encourage each other and compete with each other. The initiative lies with the government. I don't think it should be too much for tax reduction quotas every quarter or year. What does Zijing think?"

Lu Su nodded in agreement: "Yun Qi is right. When it comes to profit, don't fight for it. There shouldn't be too much thunder, rain or dew. You know how to manage."

Long Xiang and Lu Su hit it off immediately, and immediately discussed the details under the shade of a tree. They first decided on the framework of the tax reduction and commendation, and then left Lu Su to consider the details.

Waiting until dusk, Long Xiang and Lu Su returned to Army Sima Mansion.

After running around for a day, his whole body was sticky with sweat. Long Xiang wanted to go back to his room and wash himself with cold water before eating something and resting.

Seeing Long Xiang walking towards the back house, Lu Su quickly stopped him: "Yunqi, you are going to the back house. Could it be that the Qiao family hasn't moved here?"

"Ah? If Zijing hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about this."

Long Xiang stopped and smiled awkwardly, pointed to the building on the side of the vestibule and said, "Let's go and see our new room."

Lu Su nodded in affirmation: "Yunqi is open-minded and has great friendship with his old master. He is a true gentleman."

"Zijing, stop praising me. I get arrogant easily. If I get out of control, you have to be responsible to the end. Don't you want me to be free?" Long Xiang joked, holding Lu Su's hand.

Lu Su shook his head and said with a smile: "Haha, Yun Qi is a gentleman, I'm not worried."

The two of them walked under the eaves in a few steps and found that only two of the four rooms selected in the morning had beds.

Long Xiang called his guards to inquire, only to find out that Cao Xing's house was vacant, and after Tang Yu deployed the defense of the Sima Mansion, he took the initiative to move to Hefei No. 1 to "live together" with Cao Xing.

"What do you think?"

Looking at the empty room, Long Xiang felt doubts creeping up on his forehead.

Uncle Wei once suspected that he had a problem, but now it seems that there is something wrong with his old man, and the key is that his appearance is not good-looking. What do you think?

Lu Su patted Long Xiang on the shoulder: "I think I heard General Tang mention it before, saying that Yun Qi was reluctant to marry a wife. He once threatened to marry General Tang. Generals Tang and Cao took the initiative to move away. I will wait a few days.

I want to move out, probably because I want to leave some private space and don’t want you to feel uncomfortable.”

"Can Uncle Wei come up with this idea?" Long Xiang looked at Lu Su meaningfully.

Lu Su shook his head hurriedly: "Although General Tang has a simple and honest character, don't forget that General Feng has a flexible mind. I really have no ideas."

Long Xiang pointed in the direction of the back house and said nonchalantly: "There are thirty or forty guards and maids in this mansion, and there are four members of the Qiao family living in the back house. What should I feel uncomfortable about? It's simply unnecessary, Uncle Wei.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to continue the relationship, Cao Xing is still very young, so don't lead him astray."

"Speaking of the Qiao family, I heard that the two girls of the Qiao family have extraordinary looks and are about the same age as Yun Qiye. Could it be that you are a stone-man?"

Lu Su rolled his eyes and looked at Long Xiang meaningfully.

Long Xiang had an idea in his heart, but his words were dishonest. He said seriously: "I was born in the muddy area of ​​Guizhou Province, how can I climb up to the top? Mrs. Qiao has a higher eye than her own. Besides, General Qiao passed away less than two years ago, and the Qiao family has a filial piety."

The term hasn’t even expired yet.”

Lu Su stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Yunqi, why should you belittle yourself? It's true that you were born in the army, but now you are in a separate country and you are the master of Hefei who controls the lives and deaths of thousands of people.

Now that the Qiao family is in decline and they are dependent on you, anyone who sets their sights higher than Xiang will change. If Yun Qi is really serious about it, I can protect your matchmaking."

"Ahem. Let's wait until the filial piety period is over."

Long Xiang couldn't resist, so he used dragging tactics first, and then changed the subject: "My wife is far away in Dongcheng to serve her elders. Is Zijing lonely in Hefei? If necessary."

"No need. Yun Qixiu wants to cause chaos."

Lu Su quickly interrupted Long Xiang, then frowned and said, "My mother has the final say in my household affairs. Speaking of which, I have been away from home for a year. After the busy summer harvest, I have to send someone to Dongcheng to report that I am safe."

Long Xiang asked tentatively: "Yuan Shu was defeated, Yuan Yin abandoned Shouchun, and the Huai River line includes Dongcheng. Sooner or later, it will fall into Cao Cao's hands. Why don't Zijing bring his family to live with him in Hefei? You can also fulfill your filial piety sooner or later."

"You, you, are so cunning."

Lu Su pointed at Long Xiang and smiled evilly, and added: "But your suggestion is good, but I am worried about meeting bad people on the road."

"Zhong Kang's soldiers are all very skilled in martial arts. I asked him to dispatch dozens of people to pick him up. Even if he is a thief like Zhang Kai, he will not be afraid and he will be able to pick him up safely in Hefei."

“If that’s the case, then it’s still okay”

Lu Su's worry was not unreasonable. War broke out frequently in Qing, Xu, Yangzhou and other places, which were the hardest hit areas by bandits. Even Cao Cao's father and brother were not immune. Now that Long Xiang sent Xu Chu's people to pick him up, he felt more at ease.

Confidence.

Seeing that Lu Su was not sincere, Long Xiang hurriedly made a decision: "This matter is settled. I will ask Zhong Kang to make arrangements tomorrow, and Zijing will arrange a few entourages to go with him."

Lu Su was taken aback: "The Registrar's Mansion is still under repair, so there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

"When we get the people to Hefei, the Master's Mansion has been repaired. Zijing has worked hard today. He will have something to eat and rest early. I want to clean up first."

"That's fine."

Long Xiang returned to the room where he kept his clothes. The maid in the mansion had prepared water according to custom. He closed the door and began to take off his clothes.

Civilians engaged in construction live on construction sites throughout the year and are very adaptable to the environment.

When Long Xiang moved from the back house to the front yard, he didn't feel anything special. He just thought that having a bed to sleep on was enough.

The good and optimistic attitude is clearly revealed from the ditty that Long Xiang hums.

“Lu la la la la la la la la la la la la la la”

"Lu la la la la la la la la la la"

"Lu la la la la la la la la la la la"

Long Xiang thought that moving in with Lu Su's family could extend his standby time, so he got carried away for a while and did not pay attention to the moderation of his singing voice.

The house at that time had almost no sound insulation, and Lu Su next door was stunned when he heard it.

Lu Su raised his eyes and thought, who is Lu Lala? The following lyrics are even more blind spots in knowledge.

Submarine? Mermaid? Fish tank? What are they?

The melody of the ditty was catchy. Lu Su was surprised that Long Xiang could understand the rhythm. He wondered if Zhou Lang made friends with him because of this?

Long Xiang felt that it was the same wherever he lived, but the Qiao family's mother and daughter in the back house didn't think so.

Compared with the new house in Hefei No. 1, they prefer their current place and the courtyard that is larger than Qiao Mansion.

They thought they would have to persist for more than ten days, but they never expected that they would be able to move on the same day and live in the former Marquis Mansion. The mother and daughter's affection for Long Xiang soared.

There are many houses in the rear house of Army Sima, as well as two gardens, one large and one small. The two daughters who have not left the palace can move around. They do not have to go back and forth between the living room and the bedroom like they do in Hefei No. 1.

Mrs. Chen originally wanted to thank Long Xiang in person, but Long Xiang didn't come to the back house at all when he returned home. She didn't want to go to the front yard to interfere with official duties, so she sent Qiao Yu the next morning.

Qiao Wan dressed neatly and came to the vestibule. She saw Long Xiang talking to the 'idol' Xu Chu, so he trotted towards him quickly.
