Chapter 388: Grow a Beard
The new emperor really cares about his convenience.
When he received the second imperial edict on the way, it was clearly written on it that the prefectural government would be located in Tianshengcheng.
First, this place is closest to the border military camp, so if anything happens, it can be discovered earlier.
Secondly, as the eldest princess’ brother, naturally someone has to be responsible for his safety.
The third is that he was worried that the people of Nanxuxin would not obey discipline. As a scholar, he was powerless and if he needed to use force to suppress them, it would be more convenient for both sides.
Every time the new emperor thought about his arrangements, he felt that he was so considerate and so kind to his subjects.
A hundred years later, the people will certainly praise him as a wise, honest and loyal ruler.
Hehehe... He doesn't have high requirements, which is good enough.
Others didn't know what he was thinking, but He Xinglang brought his men into the city. Today he was wearing the blue official uniform of the prefect, a black official hat, and riding a tall horse.
He has a good-looking appearance. Unlike the rough look of Tian Shengcheng's men, he is handsome and elegant.
As soon as we entered the city, we received gazes from all directions, and many girls blushed.
They had never left the city, and the farthest place they had gone was to the fields.
When I belonged to Dongli before, I had only seen men from Dongli. Occasionally I saw people from Nanxu, and they all looked like ordinary people.
This is the first time I have seen someone with such a good appearance!!!
[Wow~~~What a handsome man~~~Is this gentleman the new governor? 】
[It would be great if I could marry him, the baby I give birth to would definitely be very good-looking. ]
[Tsk tsk~~~ If you want to marry an adult, I will marry an adult too. Then we will be sisters and have a son and a daughter to live with, hehehe...]
[Yes, combining the advantages of us and adults, we can’t imagine how good-looking children will be. ]
[Thinking this way, I want to marry this man even more. I really want to give birth to his children! ! ! ]
[Don't even think about it, you little girls. If I were a dozen years younger, I would marry this prefect. Just looking at his face all day would give me two more bowls of rice to eat.]
[Yes, I can wake up laughing even in my dreams. ]
[Unlike the old man at home, he is getting worse and worse now, and he is not as good-looking as when he was young, eh~~~]
[You also said that when my brother was young, he was also a flower, but you were determined to marry him.]
[However, there is still a huge gap between him and this prefect, there is no comparison.]
He Xinglang heard every word of the discussions on the roadside. When he came here, he heard that the people at the border were different from those in the capital.
They are all very open-minded, even the girls are carefree and more straightforward.
Even though I was mentally prepared, my ears still turned red when I heard their words.
Little did he know that this appearance greatly pleased the young wives, who all looked at him with sparkling eyes, as if he were a rare treasure.
He secretly felt regretful that he was born a few years earlier, otherwise he would have definitely taken the prefect back home.
As for the unmarried girls, their eyes have turned into those of wolves, and they are filled with a determined look.
They have been taught since childhood that if they like something, they should say it out loud.
You can also sing folk songs with your beloved man within a specific time. If he responds, it means you agree to be together.
Next, you can exchange personal belongings.
At this time, He Xinglang didn't know that he would soon be surrounded by countless women.
I just wanted to walk faster as long as I could get to the prefectural government.
Otherwise he was really worried that people on both sides of the road would suddenly rush over and catch him off guard.
Just as he wished, his horse came true. After he took two steps, his horse was stopped by someone.
She is a pretty girl, whose facial features look even brighter because of her confidence.
"Greetings, Your Excellency. My name is Xiaolan and I have reached the age of marriage this year. This is the sachet I embroidered myself. Please accept it."
He Xianlang:!!!
He was instantly terrified and quickly pulled the reins and took several steps back.
This made the adults following behind him laugh a lot. It was the first time they saw Lord He so scared.
It looked like seeing a ferocious beast coming down the mountain, and it is no exaggeration to say so.
"I cannot accept this. Marriage is a matter that is decided by the elders in the family. I cannot make the decision.
Thank you for your appreciation. I thank you in advance. "
After hearing what he said, many women were still unwilling to give up and took another step forward to stuff the sachet into his arms.
He cried out in pain and asked for help from the people behind him.
The adults who came with him from the capital secretly thought that there was no good show to watch. This Boss He was really clean and cruel.
It is said that he has no concubines, and he never drinks wine.
It's a pity that he wanted to find someone he liked and didn't like his daughter, otherwise she would be an excellent candidate to be a son-in-law.
The elders he just mentioned should be Mr. Xia and his wife who are living in the capital.
Yes, the Xia and He families are like the same family.
Now that the two elders of the He family are gone, given the relationship between the two families, it will be Mr. Xia who will make the decision.
When leaving the capital, the He family was still living in the mansion. Their relationship was so good that it was really enviable.
Thinking of this, she rode forward to protect him in the middle, and scolded him with a cold face: "Nanxu has Nanxu's rules. Women should not do this. Everyone, retreat."
Those who can serve as officials in the capital are not ordinary people. Even if he is a farmer's official, he has an aura.
The dark look on his face instantly frightened the girls, and they took a step back involuntarily.
For the first time, I felt that high-ranking officials could not be bullied.
After all, it was because He Xinglang was too kind and good-looking, which was why he was bullied like this.
As the group walked toward the prefect's residence, several agricultural officials couldn't help but tease him.
[Master He should be more aggressive, otherwise how can you go out in the future? ]
[Hahahahahahaha... You're right. We can't always bring guards with us to attack people.]
[If someone jumps on me, I won't be innocent anymore. ]
[It’s still better to be young. Young people will be chased by brave girls. If I were younger too...]
[Bah, you shameless guy, no girls chased you when you were young, it's because you were ugly when you grew up.]
[That is, compared to Lord He, the rest of us are just ordinary people at best.]
As the group of people joked like this, their eyes were all on He Xinglang's face. There was jealousy, envy, and some other expressions that he couldn't understand.
!!!
Helplessly, he clamped the horse with his feet and rushed forward.
He really had enough. It was fine in the capital before, but it was still like this in the border city. It was really distressing.
Walking in front, he accidentally saw a bearded man and his eyes lit up instantly.
He came up with a good idea!!!
From today on, he will start growing a beard that will just cover half of his face.
After a long time, probably no one will remember his face, which will make it convenient for him to go out and do things.
