LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 195 It turns out to be an old friend
Such a lively little girl, with her childish talk, has dispelled a lot of their worries these days.
"You are good people. I saw a golden thread on your head. You have done many good things, right?" Long Baoer asked the old man, raising his head.
"Due to the lack of food and grass at the border, my father donated half of his wealth and paid for all his shops, so he brought the three of us sisters here."
"What?" Madam Chang asked in surprise, "Could you be that high-ranking official Luo Guanluo?"
"The little old man is Luo Guan. No one dares to be a high official. Now he is just a little old man who is bullied by everyone." Luo Guan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Oh, I've been looking for you for many years." Mrs. Chang said, "Come on, Lao Liu Lao Qi, Chang Yi Yingying, all of you, come here."
Several children who were watching the cooks cooking ran over and were ordered by the old woman to bow to Luo Guan and others.
"Old madam, what are you doing?" Luo Guan and his wife were both confused as to what was going on.
Mrs. Chang sighed and talked about an old incident fifteen years ago.
Fifteen years ago, Uncle Yuan of the old town was still alive. During the battle to defend the country, the old uncle was in charge, and General Xue personally led the troops to fight. Because there were treacherous ministers in the court who blocked him in every possible way, all the grain and grass in the court were delayed on the road, and the emperor was furious.
Although Mrs. Chang is rich, she has already spent a lot of money in the early stage. If she wants to spend more money openly, she is afraid that those who have been eyeing her for a long time will discover the biggest secret of the Chang family.
Just when she was extremely anxious, thinking about being exposed and trying to save her husband, daughter and son-in-law, it was Luo Daguan who was doing business in the capital. He had quite a few friends, so he called on everyone to come together and contribute money and strength. Contribute.
In a short period of time, tens of thousands of taels of silver were raised.
Mrs. Chang saw such a righteous man taking action, so she secretly asked someone to send all the millions of taels of silver in her hand to him and asked him to buy food and grass together.
With this batch of food and grass, the border was in danger. Not only did they guard the border, they also chased the enemy far away, directly beating the opponent to his knees and begging for mercy. From then on, he became a vassal and paid tribute every year.
The old man finally brought his life to a perfect end. He retired from the court and handed over the Chang Family Army to his daughter and son-in-law. From then on, the Chang Family Army became the Xue Family Army.
Hearing Mrs. Chang talk about this matter, Luo Guan couldn't figure out who she was, so he immediately exclaimed.
"That sum of money saved a lot of lives back then. Everyone said that it was my call that led to me collecting so much money. In fact, I deserved it. This honor should have been yours, Madam. .”
Mrs. Chang waved her hands and smiled softly, "That's what I should do, and you are the one who deserves the praise. Do you know what my husband's surname is?"
Luo Guan and his wife were still a little confused, their eyes widened, but their little daughter next to them had already reacted, "Could it be that your husband's surname is Chang?"
Mrs. Chang looked at the Luo family's youngest daughter with a smile, "Smart girl. Old Zhen Yuanbo is my husband, and Xue Qingsong and Chang Chun are my sons-in-law and daughters."
Luo Guan's family was stunned.
Even the youngest daughter of the Luo family, who had made a bold guess just now, still looked at Mrs. Chang with disbelief.
"Oh, kowtow to the old lady!" Luo Guan realized what he was doing, and quickly got up to kneel down and kowtow.
One of them is an old lady from the Earl's Mansion, and the other is a commoner, and kowtow is engraved in their bones.
Although Uncle Zhenyuan is only an earl, he is the god in the hearts of the people, even though the military power now belongs to the Xue family.
And they, even if they are a minor official of the ninth grade county magistrate, they will kowtow and kneel down when they see him.
Madam Chang quickly stopped her, "Hurry up and help her up."
Mrs. Chang took a few of them and refused to accept their courtesy. Instead, she felt that she should thank them more.
The two sides exchanged a few more polite words before sitting down again.
At this time, Butler Chen also came over, "Old Madam, the food is ready, shall we serve it now?"
"Come on, bring it over and let's eat together," the old lady said.
"Yes."
Soon there were six dishes on the table, including meat and vegetables. To be able to prepare six dishes in this short time and on this journey is considered an ingenuity of the cook.
The dishes were all served, but the meal still had to wait for a while. Fortunately, the old lady didn't eat much staple food at night.
As for the children, the cooks were afraid that the little masters would be starving, so they made some soft egg pancakes using eggs and white flour, plus chopped green onion, oil, salt, etc. sent by the Luo family.
Lao Liu, Xiao Qi, Chang Yi, Yingying and Long Baoer all have them, and even the Luo family's granddaughter has a stack of them in front of her.
Although the Luo family was considered a small fortune in business before, their cooking skills were incomparable to those of the Chang family.
And this time, the Chang family not only brought the cook, but also the ingredients, although only a small part.
But this egg pancake is delicious.
The little granddaughter of the Luo family didn't dare to eat yet, and she seemed a little afraid of strangers.
Long Baoer glanced at the other party, then moved over with his own small plate and whispered, "This is delicious!"
The little girl's eyes were firm and her tone was even firmer.
Seeing how determined she was, Chao Chao was stunned for a moment and said softly, "Is it true?"
"It's really great! You'll know after you try it!"
Chao Chao took the chopsticks, picked up the top one, took a bite, and his whole face lit up, "It's really delicious!"
"Hey, it's delicious. These are all yours. If there's not enough, I'll give it to you again!" Long Baoer said generously, picking up a few pieces of meat from the table and putting them into Chao Chao's bowl. "Eat meat!"
