The baby delivered to the door became the emperor
Chapter 35 Bathroom
Mu Neng's voice resounded throughout the school grounds, and even the servants outside the school grounds could hear him. He saw the two people overlapping on the ground from a distance, and he must have done nothing good. .”
Lin Ran, who was sitting on the ground, curled her lips. How come Father doesn't even understand the principle of no evil, and she even kissed her, so she was almost... Disturbed by Father, she said angrily, "What's the matter? The two are very serious."
Lin Ran opened his mouth enough to tell right from wrong, Mu Neng didn't believe her, he just looked at Ah Liang's shy face, and said seriously, "Did she bully you?"
Relying on his own strength, he has already crushed Ah Liang, how decent it is.
Lin Ran was caught, and he didn't know how to explain it, and suddenly he didn't want to explain it. He wanted to say that Ah Liang was my person, and it was just a kiss, and he was bullying.
She thought well, but she didn't have the guts to say it. She opened her mouth, and Ah Liang spoke first: "No, I bullied her."
Mu Neng: "..." He is old, but he is not blind yet.
Lin Ran suddenly laughed, and leaned on Ah Liang's body, smiling extremely happily, Mu Neng was so angry that his face turned livid, and he turned and left.
After walking a few steps, he came back again and said to the two ignorant people: "Hurry up and get married, hurry up and get out, don't obstruct my eyes."
When he spoke in a fit of anger, Lin Ran was so happy that he couldn't tell the north from the south, and shouted at his back: "Father, we will get married tomorrow, okay?"
Mu Neng, who didn't intend to care about this matter, was provoked to turn around again, looked at the happy little thing, and pulled a long stick angrily, "I want you to get married tomorrow, believe it or not, I want you to lie on the bed , walking without legs."
穆能实在是气狠了,也不顾什么疼爱,抽棍子就想揍人。His stern posture scared Lin Ran to get up somehow, pulled A Liang and ran away, not forgetting to say to Mu Neng: "Father, don't be angry, I'll let someone collect good wine for you Already, I’ll build you another wine cellar.”
Mu Neng chased him for two steps, but he stopped chasing him. He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold him. He was really frustrated.
Lost the stick and went to the wine shop to meet the appointment.
****
Zhao Sheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was once the pioneer of the late emperor. After making many military exploits, he climbed up step by step, and later belonged to Xinyang.
He and Mu Neng didn't know each other very well. He drank a lot in the wine shop these years, and talked a lot.He still has a little salary left this month, so he wants to invite Mu Neng to drink.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Sheng hooked his neck and said mysteriously: "I know a secret, but you don't."
After he got drunk, his father was his elder brother, and the junior was his younger brother. Mu Neng looked down on him and pushed him away, saying, "What a secret."
"Speaking of which, how about you treat me to this drink?" Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes and smiled triumphantly, knowing that this Ma Daha would be fooled.
"I know you're up to no good, so please tell me." Mu Neng said impatiently.
Zhao Shengdao: "The secret is that the property of the Lin family in this wine shop belongs to that golden baby in your family. For so many years, every time you come here, you pay money. I feel distressed when I see it, hahahaha..."
Mu Neng's expression changed, and he raised his head to glance at the decorations in the wing room. It was the same as usual, and he sneered: "So what if it belongs to the Lin family, you have to give money for drinking, it's a matter of course."
Little bastard, he has been hiding it from him for so many years.
If I don't beat you back home, I'll call you daddy.
He didn't care on the surface, but he was already scolding the sky in his heart.
Mu Neng supported his face, Zhao Sheng smiled and leaned on the table, and said: "I still have a secret, you give me ten altars of good wine, how about it?"
Mu Neng's cold expression moved, what else is this little brat lying to him about?He waved his hands generously and said, "Say, I got a new wine storehouse, and I will give you ten altars."
Zhao Sheng felt complacent again, hooked Mu Neng's neck, and said softly: "Your Majesty is planning to change the name of the country, so she is the founding emperor."
Mu Neng suddenly sobered up.
****
At the beginning of winter, the price of cotton-padded clothes in Luoyang skyrocketed, nearly doubling compared with last year.
Many embroidery workshops are also helpless. The higher the purchase price of cotton, the higher the cost, and the higher the finished clothes.There are many honorable merchants in Luoyang City. Faced with such a price increase, their monthly expenses are also higher than last year.
Every time the courtiers returned to the court, they would hear complaints from their wives, why their salaries had not risen even though prices had risen.
Mu Neng didn't know these details, so he was suddenly grabbed by the Eight Kings, "Old Jiu, what is your Mu Liang doing? I asked someone to check the embroidery workshop, and they all said that they had to raise the price because of the high purchase price of cotton." .In Dazhou, only the Lin family produces the most cotton. If the Lin family doesn’t raise the price, will other cotton merchants dare to raise it? Lin Ran hasn’t managed the Lin family yet, I know it’s not her, your family’s Ah Liang wants to force the people to death?”
After being scolded by the Eighth King, spit flew all over his face, Mu Neng wiped his face, and said helplessly: "How do I know this, the madam is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and whether the price increases or not is not my business." Besides, the Lin family has not raised the price for so many years, and there is probably a reason for the price increase this year, perhaps because the cost is high."
The Eight Kings were miserable, the salary was just enough to support a family, and this year he was nagged to death by his wife, so he couldn’t force himself to listen to Mu Neng’s words, so he said cheekily: “You don’t need to support a large family, this month’s salary Lend it to me first, and return it to you next month. Look at my clothes, they are still in autumn."
Mu Neng looked at him up and down, and said sarcastically: "It's better to raise a daughter, my daughter has already prepared winter clothes for me."
The Eighth King was so angry that he stared blankly, he was full of bad words, and it was an ancestor who borrowed money.Mu Neng smiled, and took out a bag of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "That's all I brought, I'll send it to you when I return home."
After getting the silver, the Eight Kings weighed the weight of the purse and left with a sigh.Behind him, Mu Neng's face turned cold. This was the case in the Eight Princes' Mansion, which showed that the other old subordinates were also miserable.
A Liang's decision made the people even poorer, and even the impoverished generals in the past may have a hard time in winter.
He sighed for a long time, all these things were out of his control, now that Emperor Ming was thinking of changing the dynasty, he would not care about the lives of the people anymore.What does he care, if Emperor Ming didn't favor the people of the Su family, Ah Liang wouldn't be so cruel.
The Lin family seems to be a merchant with no rights, but if they really want to do something, how can they be soft persimmons.
****
There was a snowfall in early winter, and this year's cotton was even more precious. Lin Ran raised the monthly payment for the shop stewards and shop assistants of the Lin family, and also sent winter clothes to the old members of the Mu family.
Mu Neng's caring little padded jacket, Lin Ran's is even easier than Mu Liang's.
It was snowing and when I was free, I remembered that I hadn't visited the old house of the Luo family. A few days ago, I had someone send me the drawings and put them on my case, but I still haven't remembered.
It's better to wait for the snow to stop tomorrow, take A Liang to have a look, and discuss it again. The princess mansion is not as well-regulated as the king's mansion, and many structures need to be changed.
I don't want to think that it has been snowing for three or four days, and the weather has not improved. This year, Luoyang is freezing to death.
There was no sunshine for many days, so Lin Ran sent people to give porridge outside the city, and also sent some cotton clothes to the poor people.Although the heavy snow is not under the control of the Lin family, the prices are set by the Lin family.
A few stewards were dispatched to go outside the city, and if she couldn't come forward, she went to help in the name of Prince Mu's Mansion.
After the rescue was done, she wanted to go to the old house with A Liang, but the weather didn't give her face, it was freezing cold, and it was not good for A Liang.
After a few days of sighing and sighing, the king of Linnan County came to ask to see Mu Neng.
She always felt that the prince of the county had a different mind than the prince, and was ambitious. Maybe she was wrong. It happened that A Liang accompanied his grandmother to worship the Buddha, so she sneaked into the warm pavilion to eavesdrop.
Lin Ran walked freely in the palace, and even Mu Neng's study room was unstoppable. She jumped in from the window in front of the servants and maids outside, and the others seemed to have not seen it, doing their own things.
The tea-making maid in the warm pavilion was startled when she saw her, and then bowed her head consciously. Lin Ran hid behind her, beckoned her to go out, and made tea herself.
Chen Huaisheng, the king of Linnan County, looked respectful, and put himself very low, "I heard that Grandpa Ninth is helping the people. Huaisheng has nothing to do today, so I wonder if it is possible to go to help one or two?"
"The king of the county is joking, how can such a trivial matter trouble you, it's freezing cold, you might as well stay in the palace, it's not good if you get cold." Mu Neng spoke in an official accent with a rather strange tone, which made Lin Then there was a pimple on the arm.
With a screen in front of him, Chen Huaisheng's face could not be seen clearly, but relief is a good deed, the Lin family gave money, and they were willing to give credit to the Mu family, just like Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
What happened when Chen Huaisheng came out, for some reason, she didn't think about the benefits, and she didn't think that Chen Huaisheng had good intentions, but instead thought that she was here to take credit for the Mu family.
She didn't know whether Dong Gong had money, but Chen Huaisheng definitely had no money. If he really wanted to help, he should give some money first, instead of directly asking for help.
About as long as Changle, the iron rooster doesn't pull out a hair.
As she was thinking like this, the person behind the screen spoke up: "Grandpa Jiu doesn't know, Huai Sheng is fine today, seeing the common people's naked clothes, and feeling very anxious, seeing you opening a porridge shed, I wanted to do my part, It's better than sitting in the Eastern Palace for a long time doing nothing."
Mu Neng could swear, but he didn't know how to tactfully refuse the other party. He thought about it and thought it was good, so he said: "You might as well go back and wait, the king of the county. You can go to the porridge shed tomorrow morning."
Lin Ran who was outside the screen sighed silently, Dad was so easy to deceive, Chen Huaisheng clearly wanted to step on Prince Mu's mansion to create momentum, what a stupid dad.
Chen Huaisheng had a sweet mouth, one mouthful of Grandpa Nine, and the sweet soup was poured into him so much that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.
Fortunately, Mu Neng was not a chatterbox, and he couldn't wait to drive people away after agreeing. Lin Ran ran out of the window again, and stopped at the gate of the courtyard, pretending to have just arrived.
Mu Neng has never looked down upon the East Palace Party. In his heart, the heir to the throne must be the Crown Prince of the East Palace, who is orthodox.He was also polite to the county kings, but Lin Ran didn't agree, especially when he saw the Donggong people who liked to take advantage, he felt annoyed.
Today she obediently wore a red robe and a red plum in her hair. Her small face was pink, lively and beautiful.Mu Neng saw that she rarely looked like his daughter's family, and smiled, "Did the sun come out from the west today?"
"There is no sun today, Dad is confused, did the county king come out from the west today?" Seeing his handsome appearance, Lin Ran wanted to slap him, but it would be a bad thing if he slapped him.
Chen Huaisheng saw that she was different from last time, her expression was similar, and she gave people a different feeling after changing clothes, he smiled warmly: "Patriarch Lin guessed right, I came out of Xihua Gate."
"I just laughed casually. Don't take it seriously, the king of the county. I came here to find daddy. The porridge shed will be closed tomorrow." Lin Ran smiled lightly, she has the right to make decisions about her money.
Mu Neng didn't think too much, and said instead: "That's fine, the money is not blown by the strong wind, you also rest for a few days."
Chen Huaisheng's face changed, and he was no longer as gentle as before. Lin Ran just pretended that he hadn't seen it, "I'll tell Dad, I heard that the imperial court is going to provide disaster relief, and the Mu family can't block their light."
"That's right, then stop, it's windy here, go back and rest quickly." Mu Neng didn't understand the twists and turns inside, thinking that it's freezing cold, it's better to go back to the house earlier.
Lin Ran did not refuse, saluted and turned back to the Indus Courtyard. From the corner of his eye, he saw the unhappy face of the county king, and the anger in his heart dissipated.
The Luoyang Congee Shed stopped and reopened in the county. In addition, the surrounding counties can also open a few more. She can help the people, but she can't let the people in the East Palace take advantage of it.
She is a lowly commoner with a simple idea, she just needs to give the common people warmth.
Back in the Indus Courtyard, the maid handed over the hand stove and said worriedly: "Where did the girl go? The servants searched the palace and found no one. Next time you go out of the courtyard, remember to take the servant with you."
"Understood, has the Princess come back?" Lin Ran lifted the curtain to block the wind at the door, a burst of warmth came over her, she took off the red robe on her body, walked lightly to Ah Liang, and looked up: "What is A Liang doing?"
"The porridge has been given out recently, and I will check the accounts today if I have nothing to do, and I must have a clear eye on the food delivered by each family." Mu Liang looked up and saw her holding a hand stove in her hand, and smiled gently, "It's rare to see you holding a hand stove." Start the furnace."
Lin Ran practiced martial arts, and his foundation was better than ordinary people. His body was always hot, and he was not afraid of the cold, and he didn't even touch the hand stove.
"Then I'll give it to you. I'll be right." Lin Ran handed her the hand stove, sat down opposite him, looked at the food that Xungui sent in the account, and said, "I told Dad that it will be stopped tomorrow." porridge shed."
"Why?" Mu Liang was surprised.
Lin Ran told the whole story of what happened in the Nuan Pavilion, looked at A Liang's frown, and said, "The king of Linnan County is too thick-skinned, so I stopped, Luoyang stopped, and I can go to the surrounding counties and counties." Continue to give porridge, and Luoyang City has also given it for a while, so it can stop."
The status of the Eastern Palace is indeed in danger. Mu Liang knows a secret. If it comes true, the Crown Prince will be abolished. If the King of Linnan County wants to gain momentum in front of others, he may have no choice but to do so.
It's not kind to just use Prince Mu's mansion, and Lin Ran is right to fight back.
She thought about the food sent by each family, and always had to give someone an answer. After she cleared her mind, she called the maidservant and said: "You borrow some people from the prince, and go through the list. The road is outside the city. The porridge shed stopped, went to several other places in the county to distribute porridge separately, and returned all the food to each family."
The Lin family didn't lack these grains, but they could only accept them when they asked. Now that they want to change the place where the porridge is given out, they must return it.
After the maid got the order, she took the list and hurried to the front yard to look for the prince.
Ah Liang made arrangements, Lin Ran stopped asking, and looked at the amount of food on the shelves of each family, and sighed for a long time: "How do the people of the Chen family know how to take advantage? You see, these people are different. As the king of the county, Chen Huaisheng is not Thinking about the lives of the common people, thinking about creating momentum for myself, really..."
She really didn't know what to say, the decline of the Eastern Palace was also due to the prince himself, how could someone support A Dou who couldn't afford it.
Some of the sons of the first emperor died in battle or were demoted outside, and only the unworthy prince remained in Luoyang, making people lose sight of the hope of the Chen family, especially the Xinyang princess, who acted insanely and was extremely unreliable.
Changle loves to play all day, not as good as the prince.
In a short while, Lin Ran analyzed the royal family and looked at A Liang: "Why do you say that His Majesty favors Su Changlan so much? I don't think she is very smart, on the contrary, she is unpopular."
She asked the important point. These days, His Majesty's attitude towards Su Changlan is better than that of Xinyang. Mu Liang thought of the secret incident that his father said, and felt sorry for himself. After a hundred years from His Majesty, will the emperor or empress be written on the mausoleum?"
"Of course..." Lin Ran paused, realizing something was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "Did something important happen in the court?"
"I don't know, the situation is difficult to understand, you just need to know it yourself, you are the hope of the Lin family." Mu Liang couldn't bear to tell the secret, lest Xiao Guai would also be troubled by it.
When it comes to hope, Lin Ran doesn't care at all, and habitually leans in front of Ah Liang, beguiling him, saying: "I hope to marry you and give birth to little Lin Ran. Look at Ah Hu, there are already cubs."
Mu Liang had another headache. The little tiger on one side was wearing a special padded jacket and was playing with flower balls. Lin Ran hugged it, touched its soft back, and said, "Look, the little tiger is not good. ?"
"I am a child, and I am still thinking about having a child. I don't feel ashamed." Mu Liang stretched out his hand to hug the little tiger back, put it back on the soft couch, and said solemnly: "After Ah Hu gave birth to the little tiger, you seldom go to see it. Now, when you have children, I should do the same."
"Ah?" Lin Ran sighed in surprise, and there is such a reason, she and A Liang are not intimate, how can there be room for others, she hurriedly replied: "Then no, no."
Mu Liang smiled contentedly, touched her soft back of the neck, and boasted: "Very good, I will accompany you to the house in a few days, and call Princess Xinyang to go there with you."
"What do you want her to do? Just let her go first. I don't want to go with her. Besides, I know her secret. Maybe we will fight again." Lin Ran was scared, and he could only keep his distance from people who were good at kung fu and unstable. .
Mu Liang didn't object, thinking about it, it's better to stay away from Xinyang.
The matter of the porridge shed continued in an orderly manner. Some people took back the food after they knew they had gone to the county to distribute porridge.
****
After Xinyang got the notice from Lin Ran, he delayed for a few days and took Lin Xiang to the old house.
Even if the house is in a crowded place, it looks a bit gloomy. No one has set foot there for many years. Lin Xiang is timid and never leaves Xinyang every step of the way, looking left and right from time to time.
Ordinary people would be frightened and uneasy when they came in and saw the ruined walls, and it is said that there are countless grievances here. Seeing the withered yellow creeper on the Xiao Suo wall, Lin Xiang whispered: "Why didn't mother wait for Lin Ran to repair the house before coming to worship? When the time comes, it is never the right time.”
The vines crawled all over the cracked walls, and the walls were covered with dark marks, which were traces of being burned by a fire. The further you went in, the more those dark marks became, which made people's heart skip a beat.
The weather was cold and dark, and being in such a place gave people goosebumps. Lin Xiang couldn't help shaking after he couldn't get a response from his mother.
I don't know how long I walked, I saw my mother stopped in front of an abandoned house, there were collapsed roof beams everywhere, and the fire was even worse than outside, Xinyang's eyes were stained with sadness, she walked forward slowly, pointing cleanly. The tip brushed against those dark and dirty beams, Lin Xiang said in shock: "Mother, it's dirty."
She let out an exclamation, causing Mu Liang, who was a few steps away, to pause. Lin Ran poked his head to look, and muttered, "The road to Encounter is narrow."
"This should be Luo Qing's house. It's in the backyard and the main yard is in front. If you want to build a new house, you should make some guest rooms in the main yard and the backyard, or build a garden. It's also very beautiful in spring." Mu Mu Liang said, from what she said just now, she knew that Lin Xiang didn't like this place.
Xinyang has been looking forward to this place for 14 years, and it took a lot of thought to be able to come here. Only when Lin Ran had no other choice, did he fall in love with it by mistake.Now that his wish has come true, how sad it is to hear Lin Xiang's dirty words.
She shook her head helplessly, don't bother with the family affairs of the Princess Mansion, and seeing Lin Ran poking his head, she definitely wants to spy.She stretched out her hand and led her to the main courtyard, to stop her from peeping, and said, "How do you want to repair the main courtyard?"
The main courtyard has not been burned down, but over the years, the house has been badly damaged and must be rebuilt.
Lin Ran was also quite curious about Xinyang's attitude towards Lin Xiang. Fang wanted to gossip, but was dragged away by A Liang. She said regretfully, "I don't know how good Xinyang treats Lin Xiang. Although I don't believe that Lin Xiang is the descendant of the Luo family, But things have come to this, and I have to accept my fate.”
Lin Xiangrou is weak and weak, unlike the violent Xinyang, no matter how you look at it, she is still similar to Zhang Ling, and the women in Nancheng are as warm and cool as water, that's how it is.
Suddenly mentioning the matter of the Luo family, Mu Liang had some calculations in his heart, and said casually: "She is not from the Luo family, so are you?"
"How could I be, the old patriarch is willing to give me this much money? Money is the life of a merchant, so he is reluctant." Lin Ran waved her hand, thinking carefully, her father who died early did not seem like a generous person.
"Silver is the life of a businessman, so you are life and money?" Mu Liang chuckled, the gloomy cold wind rippling, the clothes fluttered, and the residual snow on the branches rustled down.
The snow floated onto Mu Liang's eyelashes, melted instantly, and slid into his eyes like teardrops and water, causing Mu Liang to blink.
A person who is already dignified, but when he blinked, he felt like a girly girl, Lin Ran smiled foolishly: "Ah Liang is my life, you see I have given you all my money."
"Slick tongue." Mu Liang reproached, pulled her towards the main courtyard, her ears turned red, but fortunately, Lin Ran didn't notice because of her haste, otherwise she would have to spend some more words to overwhelm the little rascal.
The little rogue walked all the way and nagged: "I have seen the blueprint. There is a study room in the main courtyard. I don't think it's good. Things in the shop are messy. We can't turn our house into a study room for discussion. Just remove the study room. The bathroom is also nice.”
"The main courtyard already has bathrooms, one is not enough for you?" Mu Liang said.
"I saw it, it's a little small, it's better to have two rooms instead of one, bigger and easier to use." Lin Ran said happily.
Mu Liang felt strange. She had seen the drawings a few days ago, and the study room and the bathroom were not in the same place. How could they be merged?She said: "The two places are not together, but there is a house in between. Why do you combine them? Could it be that the new house is also used as a bathroom?"
Lin Ran was caught off guard and asked in a daze, "Is that too big? It's as big as a hot spring. It's comfortable. So where do we live?"
Mu Liang said unhappily: "Let you live in the bathroom every day."
"You live, I'll live." Lin Ran insisted. Living in the bathroom is also very comfortable, softer than the bed.
The two were talking indecently. Someone came from a distance, stepping on dead branches. The creaking sound made Mu Liang turn around, and she pushed Lin Ran: "Go to the back of the house and have a look, you need to plant some trees. It's also a bit cooler."
Lin Ran didn't know what was different, she nodded in agreement, and walked back with big strides.
Mu Huai walked over and lowered his voice to the lowest level: "Master, the subordinates seem to have seen Lin Si enter the house."
The author has something to say: Mu Liang: If you live in the bathroom every day, you will have Xiao Linran.
Xiaoguai: No, no, I don't want to be the bottom of the food chain.
Changle: Not promising.
Qin Wan: Your Highness is promising?
Changle: What is the future?I do not recognize.
The red envelopes of the previous chapter have been sent out, and 50 will be given randomly in this chapter.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Lin Ran, who was sitting on the ground, curled her lips. How come Father doesn't even understand the principle of no evil, and she even kissed her, so she was almost... Disturbed by Father, she said angrily, "What's the matter? The two are very serious."
Lin Ran opened his mouth enough to tell right from wrong, Mu Neng didn't believe her, he just looked at Ah Liang's shy face, and said seriously, "Did she bully you?"
Relying on his own strength, he has already crushed Ah Liang, how decent it is.
Lin Ran was caught, and he didn't know how to explain it, and suddenly he didn't want to explain it. He wanted to say that Ah Liang was my person, and it was just a kiss, and he was bullying.
She thought well, but she didn't have the guts to say it. She opened her mouth, and Ah Liang spoke first: "No, I bullied her."
Mu Neng: "..." He is old, but he is not blind yet.
Lin Ran suddenly laughed, and leaned on Ah Liang's body, smiling extremely happily, Mu Neng was so angry that his face turned livid, and he turned and left.
After walking a few steps, he came back again and said to the two ignorant people: "Hurry up and get married, hurry up and get out, don't obstruct my eyes."
When he spoke in a fit of anger, Lin Ran was so happy that he couldn't tell the north from the south, and shouted at his back: "Father, we will get married tomorrow, okay?"
Mu Neng, who didn't intend to care about this matter, was provoked to turn around again, looked at the happy little thing, and pulled a long stick angrily, "I want you to get married tomorrow, believe it or not, I want you to lie on the bed , walking without legs."
穆能实在是气狠了,也不顾什么疼爱,抽棍子就想揍人。His stern posture scared Lin Ran to get up somehow, pulled A Liang and ran away, not forgetting to say to Mu Neng: "Father, don't be angry, I'll let someone collect good wine for you Already, I’ll build you another wine cellar.”
Mu Neng chased him for two steps, but he stopped chasing him. He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold him. He was really frustrated.
Lost the stick and went to the wine shop to meet the appointment.

Zhao Sheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was once the pioneer of the late emperor. After making many military exploits, he climbed up step by step, and later belonged to Xinyang.
He and Mu Neng didn't know each other very well. He drank a lot in the wine shop these years, and talked a lot.He still has a little salary left this month, so he wants to invite Mu Neng to drink.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Sheng hooked his neck and said mysteriously: "I know a secret, but you don't."
After he got drunk, his father was his elder brother, and the junior was his younger brother. Mu Neng looked down on him and pushed him away, saying, "What a secret."
"Speaking of which, how about you treat me to this drink?" Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes and smiled triumphantly, knowing that this Ma Daha would be fooled.
"I know you're up to no good, so please tell me." Mu Neng said impatiently.
Zhao Shengdao: "The secret is that the property of the Lin family in this wine shop belongs to that golden baby in your family. For so many years, every time you come here, you pay money. I feel distressed when I see it, hahahaha..."
Mu Neng's expression changed, and he raised his head to glance at the decorations in the wing room. It was the same as usual, and he sneered: "So what if it belongs to the Lin family, you have to give money for drinking, it's a matter of course."
Little bastard, he has been hiding it from him for so many years.
If I don't beat you back home, I'll call you daddy.
He didn't care on the surface, but he was already scolding the sky in his heart.
Mu Neng supported his face, Zhao Sheng smiled and leaned on the table, and said: "I still have a secret, you give me ten altars of good wine, how about it?"
Mu Neng's cold expression moved, what else is this little brat lying to him about?He waved his hands generously and said, "Say, I got a new wine storehouse, and I will give you ten altars."
Zhao Sheng felt complacent again, hooked Mu Neng's neck, and said softly: "Your Majesty is planning to change the name of the country, so she is the founding emperor."
Mu Neng suddenly sobered up.

At the beginning of winter, the price of cotton-padded clothes in Luoyang skyrocketed, nearly doubling compared with last year.
Many embroidery workshops are also helpless. The higher the purchase price of cotton, the higher the cost, and the higher the finished clothes.There are many honorable merchants in Luoyang City. Faced with such a price increase, their monthly expenses are also higher than last year.
Every time the courtiers returned to the court, they would hear complaints from their wives, why their salaries had not risen even though prices had risen.
Mu Neng didn't know these details, so he was suddenly grabbed by the Eight Kings, "Old Jiu, what is your Mu Liang doing? I asked someone to check the embroidery workshop, and they all said that they had to raise the price because of the high purchase price of cotton." .In Dazhou, only the Lin family produces the most cotton. If the Lin family doesn’t raise the price, will other cotton merchants dare to raise it? Lin Ran hasn’t managed the Lin family yet, I know it’s not her, your family’s Ah Liang wants to force the people to death?”
After being scolded by the Eighth King, spit flew all over his face, Mu Neng wiped his face, and said helplessly: "How do I know this, the madam is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and whether the price increases or not is not my business." Besides, the Lin family has not raised the price for so many years, and there is probably a reason for the price increase this year, perhaps because the cost is high."
The Eight Kings were miserable, the salary was just enough to support a family, and this year he was nagged to death by his wife, so he couldn’t force himself to listen to Mu Neng’s words, so he said cheekily: “You don’t need to support a large family, this month’s salary Lend it to me first, and return it to you next month. Look at my clothes, they are still in autumn."
Mu Neng looked at him up and down, and said sarcastically: "It's better to raise a daughter, my daughter has already prepared winter clothes for me."
The Eighth King was so angry that he stared blankly, he was full of bad words, and it was an ancestor who borrowed money.Mu Neng smiled, and took out a bag of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "That's all I brought, I'll send it to you when I return home."
After getting the silver, the Eight Kings weighed the weight of the purse and left with a sigh.Behind him, Mu Neng's face turned cold. This was the case in the Eight Princes' Mansion, which showed that the other old subordinates were also miserable.
A Liang's decision made the people even poorer, and even the impoverished generals in the past may have a hard time in winter.
He sighed for a long time, all these things were out of his control, now that Emperor Ming was thinking of changing the dynasty, he would not care about the lives of the people anymore.What does he care, if Emperor Ming didn't favor the people of the Su family, Ah Liang wouldn't be so cruel.
The Lin family seems to be a merchant with no rights, but if they really want to do something, how can they be soft persimmons.
****
There was a snowfall in early winter, and this year's cotton was even more precious. Lin Ran raised the monthly payment for the shop stewards and shop assistants of the Lin family, and also sent winter clothes to the old members of the Mu family.
Mu Neng's caring little padded jacket, Lin Ran's is even easier than Mu Liang's.
It was snowing and when I was free, I remembered that I hadn't visited the old house of the Luo family. A few days ago, I had someone send me the drawings and put them on my case, but I still haven't remembered.
It's better to wait for the snow to stop tomorrow, take A Liang to have a look, and discuss it again. The princess mansion is not as well-regulated as the king's mansion, and many structures need to be changed.
I don't want to think that it has been snowing for three or four days, and the weather has not improved. This year, Luoyang is freezing to death.
There was no sunshine for many days, so Lin Ran sent people to give porridge outside the city, and also sent some cotton clothes to the poor people.Although the heavy snow is not under the control of the Lin family, the prices are set by the Lin family.
A few stewards were dispatched to go outside the city, and if she couldn't come forward, she went to help in the name of Prince Mu's Mansion.
After the rescue was done, she wanted to go to the old house with A Liang, but the weather didn't give her face, it was freezing cold, and it was not good for A Liang.
After a few days of sighing and sighing, the king of Linnan County came to ask to see Mu Neng.
She always felt that the prince of the county had a different mind than the prince, and was ambitious. Maybe she was wrong. It happened that A Liang accompanied his grandmother to worship the Buddha, so she sneaked into the warm pavilion to eavesdrop.
Lin Ran walked freely in the palace, and even Mu Neng's study room was unstoppable. She jumped in from the window in front of the servants and maids outside, and the others seemed to have not seen it, doing their own things.
The tea-making maid in the warm pavilion was startled when she saw her, and then bowed her head consciously. Lin Ran hid behind her, beckoned her to go out, and made tea herself.
Chen Huaisheng, the king of Linnan County, looked respectful, and put himself very low, "I heard that Grandpa Ninth is helping the people. Huaisheng has nothing to do today, so I wonder if it is possible to go to help one or two?"
"The king of the county is joking, how can such a trivial matter trouble you, it's freezing cold, you might as well stay in the palace, it's not good if you get cold." Mu Neng spoke in an official accent with a rather strange tone, which made Lin Then there was a pimple on the arm.
With a screen in front of him, Chen Huaisheng's face could not be seen clearly, but relief is a good deed, the Lin family gave money, and they were willing to give credit to the Mu family, just like Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
What happened when Chen Huaisheng came out, for some reason, she didn't think about the benefits, and she didn't think that Chen Huaisheng had good intentions, but instead thought that she was here to take credit for the Mu family.
She didn't know whether Dong Gong had money, but Chen Huaisheng definitely had no money. If he really wanted to help, he should give some money first, instead of directly asking for help.
About as long as Changle, the iron rooster doesn't pull out a hair.
As she was thinking like this, the person behind the screen spoke up: "Grandpa Jiu doesn't know, Huai Sheng is fine today, seeing the common people's naked clothes, and feeling very anxious, seeing you opening a porridge shed, I wanted to do my part, It's better than sitting in the Eastern Palace for a long time doing nothing."
Mu Neng could swear, but he didn't know how to tactfully refuse the other party. He thought about it and thought it was good, so he said: "You might as well go back and wait, the king of the county. You can go to the porridge shed tomorrow morning."
Lin Ran who was outside the screen sighed silently, Dad was so easy to deceive, Chen Huaisheng clearly wanted to step on Prince Mu's mansion to create momentum, what a stupid dad.
Chen Huaisheng had a sweet mouth, one mouthful of Grandpa Nine, and the sweet soup was poured into him so much that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.
Fortunately, Mu Neng was not a chatterbox, and he couldn't wait to drive people away after agreeing. Lin Ran ran out of the window again, and stopped at the gate of the courtyard, pretending to have just arrived.
Mu Neng has never looked down upon the East Palace Party. In his heart, the heir to the throne must be the Crown Prince of the East Palace, who is orthodox.He was also polite to the county kings, but Lin Ran didn't agree, especially when he saw the Donggong people who liked to take advantage, he felt annoyed.
Today she obediently wore a red robe and a red plum in her hair. Her small face was pink, lively and beautiful.Mu Neng saw that she rarely looked like his daughter's family, and smiled, "Did the sun come out from the west today?"
"There is no sun today, Dad is confused, did the county king come out from the west today?" Seeing his handsome appearance, Lin Ran wanted to slap him, but it would be a bad thing if he slapped him.
Chen Huaisheng saw that she was different from last time, her expression was similar, and she gave people a different feeling after changing clothes, he smiled warmly: "Patriarch Lin guessed right, I came out of Xihua Gate."
"I just laughed casually. Don't take it seriously, the king of the county. I came here to find daddy. The porridge shed will be closed tomorrow." Lin Ran smiled lightly, she has the right to make decisions about her money.
Mu Neng didn't think too much, and said instead: "That's fine, the money is not blown by the strong wind, you also rest for a few days."
Chen Huaisheng's face changed, and he was no longer as gentle as before. Lin Ran just pretended that he hadn't seen it, "I'll tell Dad, I heard that the imperial court is going to provide disaster relief, and the Mu family can't block their light."
"That's right, then stop, it's windy here, go back and rest quickly." Mu Neng didn't understand the twists and turns inside, thinking that it's freezing cold, it's better to go back to the house earlier.
Lin Ran did not refuse, saluted and turned back to the Indus Courtyard. From the corner of his eye, he saw the unhappy face of the county king, and the anger in his heart dissipated.
The Luoyang Congee Shed stopped and reopened in the county. In addition, the surrounding counties can also open a few more. She can help the people, but she can't let the people in the East Palace take advantage of it.
She is a lowly commoner with a simple idea, she just needs to give the common people warmth.
Back in the Indus Courtyard, the maid handed over the hand stove and said worriedly: "Where did the girl go? The servants searched the palace and found no one. Next time you go out of the courtyard, remember to take the servant with you."
"Understood, has the Princess come back?" Lin Ran lifted the curtain to block the wind at the door, a burst of warmth came over her, she took off the red robe on her body, walked lightly to Ah Liang, and looked up: "What is A Liang doing?"
"The porridge has been given out recently, and I will check the accounts today if I have nothing to do, and I must have a clear eye on the food delivered by each family." Mu Liang looked up and saw her holding a hand stove in her hand, and smiled gently, "It's rare to see you holding a hand stove." Start the furnace."
Lin Ran practiced martial arts, and his foundation was better than ordinary people. His body was always hot, and he was not afraid of the cold, and he didn't even touch the hand stove.
"Then I'll give it to you. I'll be right." Lin Ran handed her the hand stove, sat down opposite him, looked at the food that Xungui sent in the account, and said, "I told Dad that it will be stopped tomorrow." porridge shed."
"Why?" Mu Liang was surprised.
Lin Ran told the whole story of what happened in the Nuan Pavilion, looked at A Liang's frown, and said, "The king of Linnan County is too thick-skinned, so I stopped, Luoyang stopped, and I can go to the surrounding counties and counties." Continue to give porridge, and Luoyang City has also given it for a while, so it can stop."
The status of the Eastern Palace is indeed in danger. Mu Liang knows a secret. If it comes true, the Crown Prince will be abolished. If the King of Linnan County wants to gain momentum in front of others, he may have no choice but to do so.
It's not kind to just use Prince Mu's mansion, and Lin Ran is right to fight back.
She thought about the food sent by each family, and always had to give someone an answer. After she cleared her mind, she called the maidservant and said: "You borrow some people from the prince, and go through the list. The road is outside the city. The porridge shed stopped, went to several other places in the county to distribute porridge separately, and returned all the food to each family."
The Lin family didn't lack these grains, but they could only accept them when they asked. Now that they want to change the place where the porridge is given out, they must return it.
After the maid got the order, she took the list and hurried to the front yard to look for the prince.
Ah Liang made arrangements, Lin Ran stopped asking, and looked at the amount of food on the shelves of each family, and sighed for a long time: "How do the people of the Chen family know how to take advantage? You see, these people are different. As the king of the county, Chen Huaisheng is not Thinking about the lives of the common people, thinking about creating momentum for myself, really..."
She really didn't know what to say, the decline of the Eastern Palace was also due to the prince himself, how could someone support A Dou who couldn't afford it.
Some of the sons of the first emperor died in battle or were demoted outside, and only the unworthy prince remained in Luoyang, making people lose sight of the hope of the Chen family, especially the Xinyang princess, who acted insanely and was extremely unreliable.
Changle loves to play all day, not as good as the prince.
In a short while, Lin Ran analyzed the royal family and looked at A Liang: "Why do you say that His Majesty favors Su Changlan so much? I don't think she is very smart, on the contrary, she is unpopular."
She asked the important point. These days, His Majesty's attitude towards Su Changlan is better than that of Xinyang. Mu Liang thought of the secret incident that his father said, and felt sorry for himself. After a hundred years from His Majesty, will the emperor or empress be written on the mausoleum?"
"Of course..." Lin Ran paused, realizing something was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "Did something important happen in the court?"
"I don't know, the situation is difficult to understand, you just need to know it yourself, you are the hope of the Lin family." Mu Liang couldn't bear to tell the secret, lest Xiao Guai would also be troubled by it.
When it comes to hope, Lin Ran doesn't care at all, and habitually leans in front of Ah Liang, beguiling him, saying: "I hope to marry you and give birth to little Lin Ran. Look at Ah Hu, there are already cubs."
Mu Liang had another headache. The little tiger on one side was wearing a special padded jacket and was playing with flower balls. Lin Ran hugged it, touched its soft back, and said, "Look, the little tiger is not good. ?"
"I am a child, and I am still thinking about having a child. I don't feel ashamed." Mu Liang stretched out his hand to hug the little tiger back, put it back on the soft couch, and said solemnly: "After Ah Hu gave birth to the little tiger, you seldom go to see it. Now, when you have children, I should do the same."
"Ah?" Lin Ran sighed in surprise, and there is such a reason, she and A Liang are not intimate, how can there be room for others, she hurriedly replied: "Then no, no."
Mu Liang smiled contentedly, touched her soft back of the neck, and boasted: "Very good, I will accompany you to the house in a few days, and call Princess Xinyang to go there with you."
"What do you want her to do? Just let her go first. I don't want to go with her. Besides, I know her secret. Maybe we will fight again." Lin Ran was scared, and he could only keep his distance from people who were good at kung fu and unstable. .
Mu Liang didn't object, thinking about it, it's better to stay away from Xinyang.
The matter of the porridge shed continued in an orderly manner. Some people took back the food after they knew they had gone to the county to distribute porridge.
****
After Xinyang got the notice from Lin Ran, he delayed for a few days and took Lin Xiang to the old house.
Even if the house is in a crowded place, it looks a bit gloomy. No one has set foot there for many years. Lin Xiang is timid and never leaves Xinyang every step of the way, looking left and right from time to time.
Ordinary people would be frightened and uneasy when they came in and saw the ruined walls, and it is said that there are countless grievances here. Seeing the withered yellow creeper on the Xiao Suo wall, Lin Xiang whispered: "Why didn't mother wait for Lin Ran to repair the house before coming to worship? When the time comes, it is never the right time.”
The vines crawled all over the cracked walls, and the walls were covered with dark marks, which were traces of being burned by a fire. The further you went in, the more those dark marks became, which made people's heart skip a beat.
The weather was cold and dark, and being in such a place gave people goosebumps. Lin Xiang couldn't help shaking after he couldn't get a response from his mother.
I don't know how long I walked, I saw my mother stopped in front of an abandoned house, there were collapsed roof beams everywhere, and the fire was even worse than outside, Xinyang's eyes were stained with sadness, she walked forward slowly, pointing cleanly. The tip brushed against those dark and dirty beams, Lin Xiang said in shock: "Mother, it's dirty."
She let out an exclamation, causing Mu Liang, who was a few steps away, to pause. Lin Ran poked his head to look, and muttered, "The road to Encounter is narrow."
"This should be Luo Qing's house. It's in the backyard and the main yard is in front. If you want to build a new house, you should make some guest rooms in the main yard and the backyard, or build a garden. It's also very beautiful in spring." Mu Mu Liang said, from what she said just now, she knew that Lin Xiang didn't like this place.
Xinyang has been looking forward to this place for 14 years, and it took a lot of thought to be able to come here. Only when Lin Ran had no other choice, did he fall in love with it by mistake.Now that his wish has come true, how sad it is to hear Lin Xiang's dirty words.
She shook her head helplessly, don't bother with the family affairs of the Princess Mansion, and seeing Lin Ran poking his head, she definitely wants to spy.She stretched out her hand and led her to the main courtyard, to stop her from peeping, and said, "How do you want to repair the main courtyard?"
The main courtyard has not been burned down, but over the years, the house has been badly damaged and must be rebuilt.
Lin Ran was also quite curious about Xinyang's attitude towards Lin Xiang. Fang wanted to gossip, but was dragged away by A Liang. She said regretfully, "I don't know how good Xinyang treats Lin Xiang. Although I don't believe that Lin Xiang is the descendant of the Luo family, But things have come to this, and I have to accept my fate.”
Lin Xiangrou is weak and weak, unlike the violent Xinyang, no matter how you look at it, she is still similar to Zhang Ling, and the women in Nancheng are as warm and cool as water, that's how it is.
Suddenly mentioning the matter of the Luo family, Mu Liang had some calculations in his heart, and said casually: "She is not from the Luo family, so are you?"
"How could I be, the old patriarch is willing to give me this much money? Money is the life of a merchant, so he is reluctant." Lin Ran waved her hand, thinking carefully, her father who died early did not seem like a generous person.
"Silver is the life of a businessman, so you are life and money?" Mu Liang chuckled, the gloomy cold wind rippling, the clothes fluttered, and the residual snow on the branches rustled down.
The snow floated onto Mu Liang's eyelashes, melted instantly, and slid into his eyes like teardrops and water, causing Mu Liang to blink.
A person who is already dignified, but when he blinked, he felt like a girly girl, Lin Ran smiled foolishly: "Ah Liang is my life, you see I have given you all my money."
"Slick tongue." Mu Liang reproached, pulled her towards the main courtyard, her ears turned red, but fortunately, Lin Ran didn't notice because of her haste, otherwise she would have to spend some more words to overwhelm the little rascal.
The little rogue walked all the way and nagged: "I have seen the blueprint. There is a study room in the main courtyard. I don't think it's good. Things in the shop are messy. We can't turn our house into a study room for discussion. Just remove the study room. The bathroom is also nice.”
"The main courtyard already has bathrooms, one is not enough for you?" Mu Liang said.
"I saw it, it's a little small, it's better to have two rooms instead of one, bigger and easier to use." Lin Ran said happily.
Mu Liang felt strange. She had seen the drawings a few days ago, and the study room and the bathroom were not in the same place. How could they be merged?She said: "The two places are not together, but there is a house in between. Why do you combine them? Could it be that the new house is also used as a bathroom?"
Lin Ran was caught off guard and asked in a daze, "Is that too big? It's as big as a hot spring. It's comfortable. So where do we live?"
Mu Liang said unhappily: "Let you live in the bathroom every day."
"You live, I'll live." Lin Ran insisted. Living in the bathroom is also very comfortable, softer than the bed.
The two were talking indecently. Someone came from a distance, stepping on dead branches. The creaking sound made Mu Liang turn around, and she pushed Lin Ran: "Go to the back of the house and have a look, you need to plant some trees. It's also a bit cooler."
Lin Ran didn't know what was different, she nodded in agreement, and walked back with big strides.
Mu Huai walked over and lowered his voice to the lowest level: "Master, the subordinates seem to have seen Lin Si enter the house."
The author has something to say: Mu Liang: If you live in the bathroom every day, you will have Xiao Linran.
Xiaoguai: No, no, I don't want to be the bottom of the food chain.
Changle: Not promising.
Qin Wan: Your Highness is promising?
Changle: What is the future?I do not recognize.
The red envelopes of the previous chapter have been sent out, and 50 will be given randomly in this chapter.
