Chapter 72 Mouth Replacement

 The next morning.

Meng brought Yu'an into the city, accompanied by Cheng Qiuluo and Cheng Shengxuan, who was wearing a mask.

After entering the city, Anluo once again saw the scene in Beihuang City through Zaizai's perspective.

In just one month, things are very different from before.

The streets are much cleaner now, and people's faces are no longer numb and dull, but rather full of energy.

"Hurry up, the weaving workshop is hiring again, and the City Defense Department is taking applications now!"

After this shout, a large group of people rushed towards the City Defense Department.

Meng sighed when he saw this scene.

"It's really different."

On the way, two women passed by carrying baskets, talking and laughing.

"I heard that Master Chen specifically instructed that the female workers in our workshop can each buy two sweaters at the lowest price, so that we can have a good winter."

"I also provided it, one tael of silver per piece. It is said that if it is sold, it will cost ten taels of silver per piece."

"I've already bought it. It's really warm when I wear it. Lord Chen is really amazing. He actually came up with something as good as a sweater!"

Another woman said angrily.

"The dog emperor is really blind. He actually let Lord Chen guard a desolate place like Beihuang City."

"Who says it's not?"

"But fortunately, Lord Chen is in Beihuang City, otherwise how could such a good thing happen to us?"

…

After hearing what the two said, Cheng Qiuluo couldn't help it, and raised his leg to catch up and talk to them.

"Luoluo!"

Meng held her back and shook her head at her.

Cheng Qiuluo looked indignant.

"Aunt, the sweater was clearly taught to us by the immortal, but how come they say it is the work of the Chen family father and son?"

"Now they have become good people praised by everyone and have earned enough fame!"

She turned her head to the side and said angrily.

"I'm so angry!"

Meng patted her hands.

"Well, now those reputations are a burden to us, and the Chen family has not lost our share of money."

She leaned closer and spoke in Qiu Luo's ear.

"Isn't it nice to make a fortune quietly?"

Qiu Luo pouted, looking reluctant.

"So that's it? If we add the coal issue, wouldn't we just be giving the Chen family some reputation?"

Meng gave a meaningful smile.

"Let's get down to business first."

Qiu Luo's words reminded An Luo. She clicked on Zaizai's background and saw the reputation value on it. She widened her eyes in surprise.

Ten thousand?!

Why did it increase so much?

She poked the customer service.

Customer Service: There is no problem with the data, dear. These 10,000 reputation points are the feedback from the sweater.

sweater?

So even if others don't know that the sweater was taken out by Yu An, the final reputation value will still be counted towards Zaizai?

While An Luo was thinking, the Cheng family's carriage stopped outside a small courtyard.

As Meng and Yu An got out of the car, Gu Shang came out of the house and opened the door for them.

"Please come in."

Meng looked at Taoist Yuanchen behind him and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Master Yuanchen, have you been feeling better lately?"

Taoist Yuanchen stroked his beard and smiled brightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. The medicine you took was very effective. I have recovered a long time ago."

Then he reached out.

"Please take a seat."

Mrs. Meng held Yu'an and sat down. Taoist Yuanchen looked at the little guy in her arms with excitement.

The last time I saw him, this little kid didn't have so much golden light of merit on his body.

But in just one month, this golden light can blind people!

Sensing the old man's burning gaze, Yu An twisted his body a few times uncomfortably.

Why is the old man staring at him?

Noticing his little movements, Mrs. Meng handed him to Qiu Luo's arms and asked Qiu Luo to play with the little guy in the yard.

Then she looked at Yuan Chen.

"I am bothering you today because I want to ask the Taoist priest to solve my doubts."

"Before, the Taoist priest asked his disciples to pass on a message, saying that this winter will not be peaceful. What does that mean?"

Taoist Yuanchen smiled mysteriously.

"Doesn't the Madam already have the answer in her mind?"

"In that case, we won't bother you anymore."

Mrs. Meng left some of the herbs she brought with her and then took the children to Chen's house.

…

City Lord's Mansion.

"Yu An!"

As soon as Yijiang heard Yu'an coming, he rushed out.

"Why didn't you come to play with me for so long?"

Yu An handed him a few small packages.

They are snacks like candies and nuts, which have been removed from their packaging and checked by the elders so they are not conspicuous when taken out.

"I'm here now, aren't I?"

Yijiang held the package and his little nose twitched.

"I smell it, it's delicious, right?"

After handing the package to the servant, Yijiang pulled Yuan inside.

"Come on, let's go inside and have something delicious!"

After the two little guys left, they started talking about business.

"Madam, what is the important matter that brought you here today?"

Meng smiled faintly and spoke.

"When I entered the city today, I found that the current Beihuang City is very different from before. Lord Chen really has a good governance."

Chen Delin smiled and waved his hand.

"No, no, this person has hope, so his spirit is naturally different. To be honest, it's all thanks to the sweater that the old lady gave us."

Qiu Luo snorted and said with a forced smile.

"Yes, we have also heard the people of this city praising Master Chen all the way. They are grateful for Master Chen's kindness. That is really endless."

Hearing this, the expressions of Chen's father and son changed slightly.

Cheng Shengxuan glanced at his aunt who was still smiling faintly, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and spoke to Qiu Luo in a joking tone.

"Speaking of which, we have to thank Lord Chen. If the Chen family hadn't stood in front of us, we would not be able to remain calm now."

You can want both fame and money, but you must be clear about who gave you all these.

Mrs. Meng put down the teacup.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

She looked at the Chen father and son.

"I've had nightmares these past few days, often dreaming of heavy snow all over the sky, so today I went to the city to find Taoist Yuanchen to help me solve my doubts."

"The Taoist priest said that this might be a sign that there might be a snowstorm this year."

"Snowstorm?!"

The Chen family father and son were shocked.

It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist, not to mention that Taoist Yuan Chentu is proficient in divination and observation of celestial phenomena.

Cheng Shengxuan took out a box.

"Yesterday, I took Yu'an to the mountains to play. When we were grilling game, Yu'an accidentally threw this black stone into the fire. Miraculously, this stone could burn, and it was more durable than ordinary wood."

"Is this really true?!"

Chen took the box, stared at the black stone inside with burning eyes, and asked impatiently.

"Where did you find this stone?"

"How many more?"

"Ahem!"

His father's cough interrupted him. Chen Ying suppressed his excitement, restrained his expression, and put the box on the table.

"If we can mine this coal as soon as possible, when a snowstorm occurs, the people of Beihuang City and the surrounding counties should be able to have an easier time in winter."

Meng and Cheng Shengxuan smiled faintly and said nothing.

Cheng Qiuluo stood up from his chair.

"If Lord Chen really thinks so, it will naturally be a blessing for the people in Beihuang City."

You can want benefits and fame, but you should always do more good things, right?

Meng picked up the teacup and took a sip, hiding the smile on her face.

Normally, I feel that Qiu Luo is a girl who speaks directly, often saying some big truths without really meaning it, which can easily hurt others.

But now, I feel that it's quite satisfying to see her scolding people.

No one spoke after that.

Meng and Cheng Shengxuan didn't say anything because Qiu Luo was there to speak for them and said what they wanted to say.

Qiu Luo stopped talking, thinking that this was the end of it.

As for the father and son of the Chen family, I don't know what to say. It seems that nothing I say is right now.

The study room suddenly became eerily quiet.

Suddenly, the housekeeper's anxious voice came from outside the door.

"Master, something bad has happened. The young master is making trouble again!"
