Changle's account in the gambling shop is as high as 3 taels of silver, and the manager of the gambling shop doesn't want to come back, as long as the ancestor doesn't make trouble, Lin Ran agrees to come down.

When she returned home, she still didn't see Ah Liang, she was waiting in the room, the maid brought a brocade box, said it was from His Royal Highness Chang Le.

She thought of the 'baby' in Chang Le's mouth at the gate of the gambling house, opened it suspiciously, and found an abacus inside, the maid was surprised, and asked in confusion: "Could it be an abacus made of gold, why did His Royal Highness Chang Le give this?"

"It's probably..." Lin Ran couldn't say anything, what he didn't say was: The abacus is probably kneeling.

She hesitated to speak, but the servant girl was very curious, but her idea was very simple, she didn't ask any more, bowed and retreated, leaving Lin Ran alone in the room thinking hard.

Lin Ran tapped the abacus boringly. She has touched it many times since she was a child, but this time it was different, and she felt very strange in her heart. When she saw this thing, she felt unnatural, so she simply put the abacus back into the box and put it together. Put on the lid.

It was not until dusk that A Liang came back.

Mu Liang went out to deal with this year's cotton. The Lin family is a cotton merchant and occupies more than half of the cotton in Dazhou. The price she is used to setting is not high. After what happened last night, if she wanted to raise the price, she should have discussed it with Lin Ran. Fan, last night made such a fuss, so I had no choice but to give up.

She went to the field to watch first, and discussed with several stewards. The price of the Lin family is not high, and it has never increased in so many years, and it is common to increase this year.

Not only cotton, but also silk next year will also increase from the original price.

Raising the price will affect the market, and the Lin family has a special status in Zhou, which will definitely drive the rise of other materials.

Mu Liang made a decision after thinking about it overnight, and asked people to send notices to shops in various places. The first ones to go up should be the ones in Luoyang.Lin Ran didn't know her decision, so he followed her into the house and said timidly, "Ah Liang, where did you go today?"

"The harvest of cotton this year is not as good as in previous years. I want to raise the price." Mu Liang's face was condensed, different from the gentle expression in the past. Lin Ran was guilty at first, and after taking a look at her, he dared not speak.

She didn't speak, and Mu Liang didn't urge her, instead she got up and ordered the maid to prepare dinner, and left her alone in the room.

Where did Lin Ran experience such indifference? Seeing her leave, she regretted the wrong thing she did last night. She stayed alone in the room and thought for a long time. She remembered Chang Le's words, she should be thick-skinned.

She didn't want to stay in the house alone, she got up and chased Ah Liang, but after chasing him, she disappeared. After asking the maidservant, she found out that she went to the front yard to find father.

Ah Liang avoided her intentionally, presumably she went over by herself, and she was not welcome, she suddenly felt that she had nowhere to go, so she simply went to her grandmother's place to pay her respects.

The old lady paid homage to the Buddha and had no time to see her, so she just sat down beside the futon, smelling the fragrance of sandalwood, and quietly waiting for her grandmother.

The lights in the Buddhist hall were lit, but it was still dark. Lin Ran was in a state of mind, and she didn't know how long it had passed. She heard the people around her move, and she hurriedly came to her senses, and went to help her grandmother: "Do you want dinner?"

"I'm a vegetarian today, do you want to eat too?" The old lady helped her to stand up, seeing her downcast, she knew that she must have offended Ah Liang, and said: "If you offend others, come to me to do it." What?"

"Ah Liang ignores me, I have nowhere to go, so I just come to you." Lin Ran didn't hide it from her, her grandmother knew Ah Liang's temperament best, so she came to ask how to please Ah Liang.

The old lady led her and walked out of the Buddhist hall together. It was getting dark outside, and it was rare for her to come here at this time, and ordered the maidservant to prepare dinner. They are very calm, and when they encounter something they care about, they will panic, why did you provoke her?"

"I, I..." Lin Ran was ashamed to speak, he just wanted to stay with Ah Liang for a while last night, but he didn't know that Father would just puncture her right away, making her efforts all in vain.

She hesitated to make the old lady laugh, and said kindly: "It's useless for you to pester me, it's better to pester her, maybe she will forgive you if she is soft-hearted. Don't confront her head-on, just cry and cry."

Wei Shi would cry in front of A Liang about anything that happened back then, and he always succeeded, which shows that Mu Liang's temperament is soft but not hard.

Lin Ran held his chin, "Ah Liang ignores me, why bother?"

"Then you cry, it's not that you haven't cried when you were a child, go back quickly, don't bother me here." The old lady saw that she was still in a daze, and she didn't bother to say anymore, this child always thinks differently from others, let She figured it out by herself.

Before Lin Ran could ask clearly, he was kicked out, wanting to cry, but when he returned to Wutong Courtyard with a lamp, Ah Liang's room was still dark.When she entered, the maid lit the lamp, and the box was still on the table.

Ah Liang didn't come back, so he must be avoiding her.

If she didn't leave, Ah Liang wouldn't come back, and she couldn't occupy other people's house, so she went back to her own house with the box in her arms.

****

Mu Neng is happy without wine, he has brought some wine back from outside these few days, but the taste is not as good as the ones that Lin Ran moved away, so he has no choice but to be picky.He hinted to Mu Liang several times, but to no avail, his eyelids hurt.

The daughter has been brought up, and she is still a caring little padded jacket, so she can't be offended at all.

Mu Liang seemed to have not seen his hint, and only told him what he had ordered the shop today.

Usually, she doesn't need to tell others about her decisions, but this time is different. The Lin family has raised prices in various industries, and other businesses will follow suit. As far as people's livelihood is concerned, there must be fluctuations.

Ordinary merchants would not dare to do this at will, but Mu Liang is not afraid. She is not a merchant with no power and influence. With the support of the palace, even if His Majesty knew what she did, he would not touch her at will.

Lin Ran has not yet taken over the Lin family, and others only treat her as a puppet, so they will not embarrass her.

She thought carefully, but Mu Neng disagreed: "If you do this, the people of Dazhou will suffer."

Mu Liang's eyes were as cold as water in a cold pool, and he said lightly: "Father is right, I have a problem with Lin Ran, but the people of Dazhou are here to deal with it."

This sentence is very realistic. It is different from her usual style of doing things. Mu Neng suddenly couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand, "You want to understand? The Lin family has been dominated by the people for so many years. Lin Fang's work back then was also Taking into account the people of one side, and even doing some unprofitable business, if you do it now, do other members of the Lin family have any objections?"

"I get more bonuses, how can anyone object? The Lin family has always been monotonous. I have to be wary of the Luo family first, and the appearance of the little girl makes His Majesty jealous. Since she is already afraid, it is better to let her not dare to move. His Majesty will also weigh in if he pulls a hair and moves his whole body." Mu Liang said, she had already guessed a little about His Majesty's thoughts, if Xiaoguai really had something to do with the Luo family, how could it be so simple to lose Wanguan's family property, the possibility of death Not guaranteed.

She had to take this step.

Mu Neng only listened to Ah Liang on weekdays, and he didn't know much about the machinations in the court, he only knew about marching and fighting, but after so many years of not being on the battlefield, he lost his arrogance, leaving behind only the smell of alcohol.

"Since you've made up your mind, do it. You can tell me if you need someone. I'll arrange it for you. It's getting late. Go back and rest. Remember to bring my wine back tomorrow."

The last sentence is the main thing, Mu Liang said: "I didn't move it, and it's useless to find me. Let Xiaoguai send it back to you, but you exposed her good deeds, and according to her temperament of revenge, you can't do it." Will move you back."

Mu Neng choked on his drink, thinking of what he said last night, he suddenly felt regretful, "Don't show her face, she won't take revenge."

"She lied to me, can I still support her?" Mu Liang said, and went straight back to the yard.

When she returned to the yard, the lights in Lin Ran's room had been turned off, and she must have fallen asleep. She also went directly to her own room to sleep. The price was decided, and there were still many things to deal with in the future.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Ran woke up early, washed up and went to find Ah Liang, lest she leave again.

Fortunately, she realized that when she entered the house, Mu Liang had already had breakfast and was about to leave the house, so she hurriedly followed, "Ah Liang, where are you going?"

"Go to the shop." Mu Liang didn't look back, and walked directly outside the Wutong courtyard.

Lin Ran was wronged, she got up early, but Ah Liang was earlier than her, she hadn't had breakfast yet, she touched her sagging stomach, didn't dare to speak, and silently followed her footsteps.

Mu Liang went to the embroidery workshop. The embroidery workshops in Luoyang City all have certain contacts, especially when walking in Xungui's house.

The Lin family has no less than a hundred embroidery workshops in Luoyang, with different regulations, big and small, and all of them buy silks and satins from Jiangnan.Mu Liang came here in person to find out the specific prices, and was asking for the opinions of the stewards.

Lin Ran followed her like a little follower, running forward and back hard without leaving an inch. Seeing that she was so diligent, the manager of the embroidery workshop suddenly wanted to understand what was going on, their little patriarch might be a wife slave.

Mu Liang didn't show her face either, he was only focused on the embroidery workshop and had no time to chat with her.Lin Ran laughed so hard that her face froze, and she was also very hungry. I don't know which servant girl brought some rice cakes, and she just ate a few to fill her stomach.

While eating, she was still looking at Ah Liang, she was caught off guard, and she had to bend her lips and smile.Mu Liang didn't talk too much, and stopped talking after seeing her.

Lin Ran got bored and ate rice cakes in frustration.

People are outside the mansion, so of course they have to go to a restaurant for lunch.Lin Ran asked someone to go to the wine shop to book a private room, and went to the wine shop after coming out of the embroidery workshop.

Along the way, she didn't ask why the price was raised suddenly, she glanced at her from time to time, and then lowered her head more than usual, she was really outrageously well-behaved.

After Mu Liang got into the car, she leaned against the compartment, closed her eyes and meditated, making Lin Ran unable to utter a single word. She twitched the corners of her lips and hesitated to speak several times.

Ah Liang is so fierce!

After entering the restaurant, the lobby was full of guests, almost full, and a few people went to the second floor wing room.Lin Ran knew what Mu Liang liked, and she ordered all the tastes that suited her. After the waiter went down, she dared to look Mu Liang squarely, and moved her mouth: "Ah Liang."

"Princess!" Someone knocked on the door outside.

The courage Lin Ran had gathered with great difficulty was instantly frightened by these two words, and he could only stare at the person who knocked on the door: "What are you shouting for? Let's go to eat. If you don't eat, you won't be allowed to eat for three days."

Hearing her angry words, the young servant was so frightened that his legs softened a little, and he said anxiously: "The king of Linnan County happened to be drinking in a wine shop, and wanted to come to see the princess."

Only then did Mu Liang say: "Let the county king come in."

With the decline of the crown prince, the few county kings in the Eastern Palace are not valued by others, even the Su family's favor is not as good, so the people in the Eastern Palace are becoming more and more careful in their actions.

Chen Huaisheng, the king of Linnan County, is the third of the line. He is outstanding in appearance and capable of handling affairs. Today, he came to drink with other honorable children. When he saw Lin Ran just now, he guessed that Mu Liang was also there, so he came to see him.

Today he is dressed in a brocade robe, with a slim body, he doesn't look like a county king, but rather a noble son, as soon as he enters the wing room, he sees a girl holding his chin, absent-minded.He bent down and saluted halfway, then said with a smile, "Nineteenth Aunt."

Lin Ran sat still, looked at him instead, and said displeasedly, "I'm your aunt too."

Chen Huaisheng was sixteen years old, and older than Lin Ran. When Lin Ran said this, he felt a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Patriarch Lin really likes to joke."

"Aren't you joking, I'm engaged to your nineteenth aunt. According to seniority, I'm not also your aunt." Lin Ran suddenly felt that these people were really forgetful, none of them acknowledged her and A Liang's affairs.

Being mentioned so seriously by her, the smile on Chen Huaisheng's jade face couldn't hold back anymore, and she looked at Mu Liang: "Patriarch Lin is young, it seems that he has a lot of seniority, if you want to talk like this, many people will have to call you aunt .”

"That's right, thanks to Ah Liang's blessing, I have many nephews and nieces. Counting carefully, there are no less than 40 to 1000 people. On the day of marriage, I will give each of you a big red envelope, and I will never let you suffer." Lin Ranruo Su Si, seeing Chen Huaisheng smiling without saying a word, said again: "[-] taels per person, you are not at a loss."

Chen Huaisheng couldn't stop laughing, 1000 taels was equivalent to a year's salary, and three to forty thousand taels were just thrown out verbally, he really shouldn't be underestimated.Such a big deal, even his two aunts couldn't do it.

He agreed with a smile: "Patriarch Lin is really interesting."

The wealth of the Lin family is enviable. He suddenly felt that his father's words were wrong. Although the word low and low refers to a merchant, the head of the Lin family grew up in Mu Wang's mansion. To get her, he not only has money from up and down, but also Mu Neng's support. This marriage is also very cost-effective.

It's a pity that his father can't see clearly, even if he is as honorable as the East Palace, he is still looked down upon.

Lin Ran didn't want to talk to this person anymore, so he just drank his tea in suspense. Seeing this, Mu Liang took over the conversation: "The king of the county is not on duty today?"

Chen Huaisheng replied: "I wasn't on duty. It happened that a friend invited me to taste poems, so I came to sit in the restaurant. There are also many girls with me. Lin Patriarch is willing to go and have a look. Nineteenth Auntie has a good literary talent, and Lin Patriarch will definitely inherit it."

"The king of the county is not sure. I am not born of A Liang. How can I inherit his literary talent. I don't know poetry, but I can fight and compete. Would you like to try?" Lin Ran politely refused. Thinking that she is a lowly commoner, she probably just asked for humiliation in the past.

Chen Huaisheng studied both literature and martial arts, so he joined the Jinwu Guard as an errand. He didn't know Lin Ran's kung fu, and he really wanted to invite her to play. He didn't want to be rejected, so he smiled awkwardly: "If there is a chance someday, I will definitely compete with Patriarch Lin .”

"Alright, just wait for you. The king of the county is going to taste poems quickly. Today I will be the host, and you can drink to your heart's content." Lin Ran drove away the guests directly, wishing to kick this man out. She finally wanted to speak, but was hindered by this interrupted.

Seeing Ah Liang's indifferent expression, she sniffed, wanting to cry.

After Chen Huaisheng was driven away, Mu Liang didn't say a word, not to mention that she was rude.Lin Ran didn't have the courage to speak anymore, holding his head that was about to be buried in his chest, staring at the teacup in front of him without love.

Lunch was tasteless, Lin Ran filled his stomach like chewing wax, and followed Ah Liang in the afternoon, trying to be a follower.

After two or three days like this, Lin Ran was listless like a child who was robbed of candy, and finally lost his temper, and finally chose to pester Ah Liang when he returned home.

She drove all the maidservants out, and locked the door from the inside. She walked up to Mu Liang and poked her head: "Ah Liang, are you still angry?"

"You've been so obedient these past few days, how can I be angry." Mu Liang didn't look up, but looked down at the account, and only after Lin Ran closed the door, he didn't turn a page.

Lin Ran was flustered and didn't realize this, otherwise he would have moved over directly instead of standing like this.

She touched her ears, lowered her head and apologized, "I shouldn't have lied to you that night, I, I just, just wanted to spend more time with you."

"When did you lie to me? I don't know?" Mu Liang still lowered her eyes, the light from the lamp fell on her plain side face, evoking a beautiful outline, Lin Ran pursed her lips and wanted to reach out. Pinch her face.

It's a pity that she made a mistake first and didn't have the courage to pinch it.

She looked at her side face, and after deliberating for a few days, she finally said: "I apologize, I won't lie to you next time, okay. You are worse than scolding me."

"When did I scold you?" Mu Liang raised her eyes slightly. The light from the light fell on her calm eyes just now, condensing the waves of light and adding a bit of gentleness, reflecting Lin Ran's uneasy mood. look.

Lin Ran was at a loss for words, "I'd rather you scold me."

After muttering such a sentence, there is no more to say.Mu Liang didn't bother to argue with her, so he lowered his eyes again and said, "Open the door and let them set the meal."

"No, I'm not hungry. If you ignore me, I won't open the door." Lin Ran played a rogue, walked directly to her and sat down, not giving her a chance to leave.

The room was silent except for the sound of crackling lights. Lin Ran was in an unstable state of mind, and Mu Liang also pretended to be calm. He looked through the accounts and was snatched away by Lin Ran when he looked again. Hearing her angrily say: "If you are angry, you will Scold me, you used to say a few words about me, but now you don't talk to me."

"You are already old enough to be an adult, if you scold you again, it will make you lose face, and it will be bad for you. It's good to know that you made a mistake, so why think too much." Mu Liang smiled lightly, reaching out to hug her Lin Ran didn't want to throw the account out of the window.

The quiet wind rippling outside the window made people less anxious. After throwing it away, Lin Ran regretted it, and looked back at her timidly: "I, I will find it for you after I finish talking."

Mu Liang felt helpless leaning on the soft pillow, the wind swayed through the window, curling up a few hairs, causing her to narrow her eyes slightly: "Since you know that you are wrong, why tell me that cheating is not easy at all." To be qualitative."

For some reason, Lin Ran seems to have understood the last sentence, and it is difficult to determine... Being caught cheating this time does not mean that she will not cheat in the future. She suddenly realized: "I really won't lie to you in the future, just trust me How are you?"

Mu Liang was silent, the wind swayed the candlelight left and right, even her eyes were gloomy, and after a while, she smiled: "You don't have to be so nervous, we will get married in the future..."

"I just want to marry you. Everyone in Luoyang knows that I bought the house of the Luo family to marry you. Who else can I marry? I know what you want to say. After getting married, you must be honest with the other half, and there must be no deception. Is it?" Lin Ran pursed her lips, seeing Ah Liang tidying up her skirt, she hurriedly went back and closed the window.

She said what Mu Liang wanted to say, leaving Mu Liang speechless.She was indeed a little angry, but she stopped being angry on the second day. Everyone has their own way to deal with difficulties. Lin Ran is smart, so why should she be angry.

These days, things have been busy, and Lin Ran has a very well-behaved appearance, so she doesn't want to point it out. A few days of quiet time can also allow her to reflect on herself.

She lied to her without malice, and there was nothing to be angry about, as long as the reasoning made sense, she knew it herself, and she had nothing to say: "You know it yourself."

"I know, you're still angry." Lin Ran said sullenly, and sat down beside her with his head down, staring at her hand on her knee, wanting to touch it and beg for forgiveness, but he couldn't reach out .

Mu Liang didn't know what to say, Lin Ran's mind was too sharp, and talking too much would cause her to think wildly, and she didn't want to give up, the main reason was that she couldn't pass her own test.

Or maybe it's because she's been drying her out too much these past few days.

After all, she was still wrong.

When she was thinking, she saw Lin Ran's obedient eyes, full of guilt, she said helplessly, "I'm not angry, so don't think too much about it."

The more she said that, the more Lin Ran didn't believe it. If she was really not angry, she wouldn't ignore her for a few days.When she lowered her eyes, she thought of the thing Chang Le gave her, and suddenly her face turned red, she shook her head, Chang Le was playing tricks on her.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Mu Liang just thought she had nothing to say, got up and wanted to open the door, it was late for dinner.

As soon as she got up, Lin Ran panicked. He didn't want to be left alone for a few more days, so he blocked the door after a few steps, and said pitifully, "I apologize, okay?"

Mu Liang couldn't see her pitiful look, and his expression softened: "I'm not angry."

Lin Ran didn't believe it, "You're just angry."

Mu Liang was helpless: "Then I am angry, what should you do?" He is really a persistent person with a stubborn temper.

Sure enough, he was angry, Lin Ran snorted, his eyes were full of grievances unconsciously: "I apologize to you."

Mu Liang followed her way and said, "How are you going to apologize?" He had said the verbal words many times, and it depended on what this little rascal wanted to say.

Lin Ran struggled for a while, after staring at Ah Liang's expression, he touched his own face, then pinched Ah Liang's face unwillingly, turned around after pinching, opened the door and ran away.

After the little thing pinched her, she ran away like this?Mu Liang waited for a long time, only to wait for a gust of wind, she laughed silently, running away halfway seemed like something little things love to do.

She smiled, the breeze brushed over her hot cheeks, and her mind cleared up a lot, when she was about to raise her feet to call for the maid, she saw the little thing running back like a gust of wind, holding a box in her hand.

She didn't know what was in the box, she took a rough look, it seemed to be the one sent by Changle.

A few days ago, the maid had told her that Princess Changle sent a box, which was not precious jewels, but an exquisitely crafted abacus.

The Lin family is a businessman, and the most indispensable thing is the abacus. Changle has a weird mind, and it must not be sent to Lin Ran for accounting purposes, it must be for some other purpose.

When she was puzzled, Lin Ran came in to open the box and took out the contents.

The result is an abacus.

But what the little thing did next made her smile wryly.

The author has something to say: Xiaoguai: I... knelt down... crying
