Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Although Lin Xi came back from the palace in one piece, but after a few days of recuperation in the Hou Mansion, she felt better.

Exposing the secrets of the harem made the noble concubine feel neglected by the emperor, but it also completely offended the King Liang faction.Although Lin Xi's face was as calm as water and stable as an old monk, her heart was still a little beating. Unexpectedly, after a few days of peace, nothing happened.

Mr. Bai listened to Lin Xi's words, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Xi'er, don't worry too much. The king of Liang and the king of Shu are fighting for the throne. It is well known that the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine in the palace are fighting. Trouble, I can't take care of you for the time being. You have appeared in front of the imperial court, and the emperor is like a mirror in his heart. He is willing to fight outside, even if it is for Rong'er's body. , In the final analysis, it was the fault of the two princes, and the emperor Shengming is not without guilt for you."

"You can't see the guilt. The emperor is very clear about what my father left behind. Although I can't hold it down now and save my life, it's because the heir is not yet determined. But once I canonize, I will be the best knife for another Just shut up obediently."

Lin Xi bluntly pointed out that recently, she has had enough of the troubles caused by that big family. The Yongning Hou Mansion, which is full of people, dare not speak out, so she can only go to Mr. Bai to express her feelings.

The old Mr. Bai twitched, and he slapped Lin Xi on the head as soon as he heard the words, "Although I can't understand those hypocritical people who are trying to gain fame, I can't stand your bold words, Xi'er, is it you who is the emperor?" Are you free to discuss?"

Lin Xi hissed, bared her teeth and said to Zhao Yuanrong, "Let me see Rong'er, is it swollen?"

Zhao Yuanrong felt distressed when he saw it, he gently touched the top of Lin Xi's head, and exhaled, "Cousin, does it hurt?"

"Why does it hurt? As a teacher, I didn't play hard, pretend, pretend!" Mr. Bai raised his eyelids, and the ruler in his hand couldn't help moving. Zhao Yuanrong immediately hugged it tightly in his arms, and said unwillingly: " Grandpa Bai, it's not good to beat my cousin on the head all the time, I'll be stupid."

Old Mr. Bai sneered, "It's good to be stupid, so that you don't have to be imprisoned for the crime of disrespect, and you have to try your best to get it out as a teacher. Rong'er, you can remember that even though you are Relatives of the emperor, but they are also the subjects of the emperor, the sacred heart is unpredictable, don't lose respect because of the presence of the holy family, and make mistakes in your mouth, and you may stumble because of it in the future. In this regard, you must learn from your father. People before and after, must not speak wild words."

Although the old Mr. Bai was preaching to the six-year-old Zhao Yuanrong, he looked straight at Lin Xi with his stern eyes, which made Lin Xi embarrassed.

"Just tell the teacher that there will be no second person."

Rong'er said obediently: "The wall has ears, I know it."

Old Mr. Bai snorted, took a sip of tea, and suddenly sneered and said: "The current emperor is wise, and all princes at the age of six are taught in the Chongwen Museum, in order to learn etiquette and set an example for the world. Great Confucianism, but what he taught in the end is... Hehe, I don’t know if the future will be misfortune for the world.”

"..." You said just now that you should not discuss the affairs of the Tian family, what is this?

Lin Xi looked at old Mr. Bai speechlessly. The latter shook the empty teacup and said cheerfully, "You are the only one here. Rong'er can just listen to this and don't need to write it down."

"Oh." Zhao Yuanrong blinked, and exchanged glances with his cousin.

Lin Xi poured tea for old Mr. Bai, and when it was done, he looked at the sky, "It's getting late, the students will leave first."

Old Mr. Bai waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. The issue of agricultural tax has not been concluded a few days ago. After today, I will make a strategy and talk about it as a teacher. No matter what, the lessons must not be neglected."

Lin Xi got up and saluted respectfully: "Yes."

Zhao Yuanrong was dragged by Lin Xi for a stroll back to Yuexuan, and couldn't help but asked: "Cousin, the land... and... annexation seems to be unacceptable. Listening to the words of Grandpa Bai and his cousin on weekdays, it seems that the official It’s not good, so what should I do?”

Lin Xi couldn't help laughing in a low voice, "Rong'er has grown up and started to care about state affairs."

Zhao Yuanrong shook the hand he held with Lin Xi, and smiled happily, "Rong'er is curious."

"If you can't reduce expenditure, you can only increase revenue." Lin Xi said lightly, "If agricultural tax is no longer the most important part of national income, or if the proportion can be reduced, then the DPRK and China will not only focus on the point in the hands of the people. There is a surplus of food, the people are small and hard-working, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they can survive."

Zhao Yuanrong seemed to understand, but didn't nod.

Lin Xi patted his head, "You are still young, if you are older, you might as well go out for a walk, understand the people's sentiments, and your vision will not only be in one capital city."

This is good, Zhao Yuanrong asked with a smile: "Would you like to go with my cousin?"

"Okay, but before that, you have to get rid of your cold syndrome. March has passed, Rong'er, you're about to give acupuncture again, are you ready?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanrong's small face immediately collapsed, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, fear flashed in his eyes.

That kind of pain, I don't want to have a second time after suffering it once.

"Uncle..."

Zhao Yuanrong called Ai Ai eagerly, Lin Xi pinched his little face and said: "It's useless to call him father, endure the pain for a while, in exchange for a healthy body, Rong'er is so smart, he must be able to understand. Besides... Who said they want to protect me, could it be that they use this body that gets sick from time to time?"

Xiao Shizi couldn't stand this aggressive method the most, so he pursed his lips when he heard the words, "Rong'er knows."

"Hey, don't worry, I'll drink medicine with you, don't be afraid, we will share weal and woe together."

Back at Lanyuexuan, not long after sitting down, someone came from Chongjintang.

Lin Xi took Zhao Yuanrong to Chong Jin Tang for dinner.

After the meal, Mrs. Tai held Lin Xi's hand and asked kindly: "The complexion didn't look very good when I came back from the palace that day. After a few days of rest, it's recovered now."

Lin Xi nodded slightly, "Grandmother, don't worry, it's just that Xi'er was uneasy when entering the palace for the first time. Not any more."

Mrs. Tai said angrily: "What do you have to pretend to be in front of your grandmother? The matter of the noble concubine and Zhang Meiren has already been circulated among the clans in the capital. Don't be afraid, my Yongning Hou Mansion can still afford this matter."

Lin Xi smiled and said nothing.

There are some things that can be said to Mr. Bai Lao, but cannot be said to the Yongning Hou Mansion, but during this period of time, one after another, the Hou Mansion may have vaguely known something.

There may be conflicts of grievances and grievances in the Yongning Hou Mansion, and each may have their own selfish intentions, but whether it is the two uncles or aunts, it is good for Lin Xi.

It's just... maybe what Zhao Jingyi said is right, staying for a long time is not a long-term solution.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi was feeling sentimental, but suddenly felt the back of her hand being patted, looked up and saw Mrs. Tai's loving smile, and comforted her: "It's over and it's over, Xi'er doesn't have to worry about it, as long as you can study with peace of mind. But I asked you to come over for dinner today, and there is one more thing I want to remind you, do you still remember the dowry document that your mother handed over to you that day?"

Lin Xi was taken aback, and suddenly remembered, "All those shopkeepers have come to Beijing?" After thinking about it, she said clearly, "Yes, grandma's birthday, they all have to come to pay respects."

"Xi'er is ready?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xi raised the corners of her lips and lifted her chin lightly, "You can ignore other things, but you must not neglect the money that should be obtained."

"Little money fan." Mrs. Tai laughed and said, "There is one more thing, but I still remember the birthday gift you gave the old lady, what is it called... Glasses, it is really clear to see things. The old sisters who came that day were very rare. I've been asked a few times."

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "Xi'er immediately explained what my grandmother ordered, but clear crystals are hard to find, and it will take time to polish, so I guess we will have to wait for a while."

"It doesn't matter, I'll let them all look for it." Saying that, Mrs. Tai looked at Lin Xi with great satisfaction, and felt relieved.

Earlier, Mrs. Tai was worried about Lin Xi, but she didn't expect her grandson to be so upbeat, and she worked hard to earn a future. On her birthday, she gained a filial name in front of the old ladies who are rarely seen in every family, so she doesn't worry about marrying her in the future. Not a famous lady.

So today's Mrs. Tai is not in a hurry, anyway, she should wait until she is filial piety before discussing it.

Lin Xi didn't know that Mrs. Tai had made many twists and turns for his marriage, and now he was thinking about how to smoothly take his mother's dowry into his hands.

But when it comes to those shopkeepers, Lin Xi's name is right and proper. As early as Lin Butler came back, Lin Xi immediately started sorting out all kinds of information. Although she hasn't seen the big managers, she already has a general impression. , what to do also has a decision.

Three days later, in the early morning, all the stewards and Zhuangtou from all over the country came to the Hou's mansion to pay their respects, and the Chongjin Hall specially opened a hall that had long neglected common affairs.

As the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Yongning, Mrs. Lin's dowry is really generous. There are nearly ten stewards and heads of the village sitting together, and some shops that are only rented out are not counted.

This time Lin Xi still brought Zhao Yuanrong to come here unhurriedly, with a faint smile on his face. This was a challenge for him, but it was a good learning opportunity for Zhao Yuanrong.

As soon as Lin Xi entered the hall, the apprehensive stewards fell silent, looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with Mrs. Tai's mother Qi and Mrs. Hou's mother in charge supporting the stage, it couldn't hide the fact that Lin Xi was young, and Zhao Yuanrong was even a child.

Too young son, most of them are ignorant of worldly affairs, and I heard that they are still weak and sick, so it is probably easy to be fooled.

Zhao Yuanrong sat down next to Lin Xi, with a stern face, as long as this ancestor is not willful, even if he is only six years old, he can bluff people with his father's cold face.

Lin Xi couldn't help but frowned, and looked at the butlers in front of her one by one.

Mother Qi took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone who came today must have known that Mrs. Tai has returned the dowry contract of the third aunt to Master Biao. After today, Master Biao will be your legitimate master and boss, Yongning No one in the Hou Mansion has the right to interfere again, but is everyone clear?"

Qi's mother agreed, all the stewards looked at each other again, Qi Qi looked at Lin Xi, and said: "This subordinate understands."

Lin Xi's brows and eyes became even more crooked when she heard the words, looking down at the frowning look, seeing the contempt and thoughtfulness hidden in those eyes, she took a sip of tea leisurely.

Mother Qi turned around and asked, "Master Biao, do you have any orders?"

Lin Xi put down the teacup, nodded, and said, "It's the first time I've seen you all in charge, and I don't know anyone, so I don't know how to give orders. How about this, let me introduce myself first, let me let everyone Find out."

Self introduction?After hearing the words, the heads of the Zhuangmen in charge looked at each other again, glanced at each other, and Lin Xi, who closed his mouth again, thought about it and didn't speak.

It doesn't matter if no one voluntarily speaks. Lin Xi looked at the first person on the left, raised her chin and said, "In this case, let's start with you. There is no need to troublesome introductions. Just two or three sentences and explain the name clearly. Now I will take care of you." For the business, wherever it is, the business is as good as it needs to be.”

The manager raised his eyebrows and replied calmly, "My subordinate Xia Li is in charge of the silver building in Erhu Lane on West Street, and the business is good."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Xi, who smiled and nodded, "Please sit down, and so on, the next one."

The latter one said: "Little man Fusheng, in charge of Changlai Restaurant on Changping Street, the business is good."

"Young Cao Youde is in charge of Xingtian Zhuangzi. Last year's dry crops didn't grow well, so...he didn't have much prospects. The young one has already told the steward of the Hou Mansion, so..."

Before this one finished speaking, Lin Xi interrupted him, "Okay, next one."

……

When these people finished speaking, Lin Xi nodded and glanced at Yuanyuan behind her.

Yuanyuan came out immediately, holding a stack of papers in her hands, and distributed them to the stewards one by one.

As soon as the stewards picked it up, they heard Lin Xi say: "I've heard a rough idea, but I don't know the details. You probably have no other plans today, so why don't you write a more detailed business summary for me. I want to know What kind of business are you doing, or what kind of farmer are you planting, what is the monthly output, profit or loss. If it is profitable, is there room for improvement? If it is a loss, why is it losing, and how to turn it around and turn it into profit? Next year Is there any goal set, so what? The questions are all in it, just write them down one by one."

Everyone picked up the paper in front of them, looked at the question, and looked at each other, not knowing how to write.

No one has ever asked these questions, how do they answer?

It's good, but it's not the case, and it's bad, and it seems incompetent.

But one thing is for sure, don't bully Master Biao who doesn't understand at a young age.

"Everyone has been in business for some years, and these problems must not be troublesome, so I will give you an hour today, and then... Uncle Lin, you collect everything and give it to me."

Lin Xi stood up after speaking lightly, her eyes fell on the ledger placed in the center, and she smiled lightly: "Send all the ledgers to Lanyuexuan, I will take a closer look when I find time." After speaking, he glanced at The stewards glanced at each of the stewards, and said leisurely, "If you took something wrong, you can check it again. I can send someone to move it back in half an hour."

Then he calmly took Zhao Yuanrong away.

The stewards were stunned and looked up at the two mothers. Unfortunately, the two couldn't figure out what Lin Xi was playing, so they shook their heads.

That person is also an ancestor!
