Although Lin Xi came back from the palace, he only recuperated in the Hou Mansion for a few days before his spirits improved.

exposed the secret of the harem, and made the concubine suffer from the emperor's snub, but also completely offended the Liang Wang faction. Although Lin Xi's face was as calm as water and as stable as an old monk, he still had some drumming in his heart, but he didn't expect that after a few days of peace, nothing happened.

After listening to Lin Xi's words, Mr. Bai pondered for a long time and said: "Xi'er doesn't have to worry too much, King Liang and King Shu are vying for the throne, and the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine in the palace are well known. You have appeared in front of the emperor, the emperor is like a mirror in his heart, and he is careful to fight outside, even for the sake of Rong'er's body, you will not be missed. Moreover...... Lord Lin is loyal and wronged, in the final analysis, it is also the sin created by the two princes, and the emperor Shengming is not without guilt for you in his heart. ”

"The guilt can't be seen, the emperor is clear about what my father left behind, and now although he can't hold it down and save my life, it's just because the prince is undecided. But once canonized, I'm just the best knife to shut up the other obediently. ”

Lin Xi unceremoniously pointed out that recently, he was fed up with the troubles caused by that terrible family, and the Yongning Hou Mansion, which was full of people, did not dare to say it directly, so he could only go to Mr. Bai to express his heart directly.

Old Mr. Bai twitched his cheeks, and when he heard the words, he slapped Lin Xi's head with a ring ruler, "Although the teacher can't get used to those hypocrites who sell their fame and reputation, but I can't stand your bold words, Xi'er, how can the emperor talk about it at will?"

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

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

"What does it hurt? As a teacher, I didn't have a heavy hand, pretend, pretend!" Mr. Bai lifted his eyelids, and the ring ruler in his hand couldn't help but move, Zhao Yuanrong immediately hugged it tightly in his arms, and said unhappily: "Grandpa Bai, it's not good to always hit my cousin's head, you will be stupid." ”

Old Mr. Bai sneered, "It's good to be stupid, it's so light and heavy, you don't have to go to prison for the crime of great disrespect, and you have to try your best to get it out for the teacher." Rong'er, you can remember, although you are a relative of the emperor, but also a subject of the emperor, the sacred heart is unpredictable, don't lose respect because the holy family is thick, and the handle on your mouth is missing, and you may be planted in the future. ”

Although Mr. Bai preached to the six-year-old Zhao Yuanrong, his stern eyes looked straight at Lin Xi, and he was stunned.

"I just said to the teacher, there will be no second person. ”

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

Mr. Bai sighed, took a sip of tea, and suddenly sneered and said: "Today's emperor Shengming, the prince is six years old and has entered the Chongwen Hall to teach, in order to know etiquette and understand etiquette, to be an example in the world, and those who come and go to teach are all Confucians, but in the end what is taught is ...... Hehe, I don't know if it will be unfortunate in the world in the future. ”

...... "You just said that you should not discuss the affairs of the Heavenly Family, what is this?"

Lin Xi glanced at Mr. Bai speechlessly, the latter shook the empty teacup, and said happily: "Isn't this just you, Rong'er can just listen to this statement, and there is no need to write it down." ”

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

Lin Xi poured tea for Mr. Bai, and when it was over, he looked at the sky, "It's not early, the students will retire first." ”

Mr. Bai waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, the issue of agricultural taxation has not been concluded a few days ago, and after today, I will make a decision to be a teacher, no matter what, the homework should not be wasted." ”

Lin Xi stood up and saluted respectfully, "Yes." ”

Zhao Yuanrong was dragged back to Lanyue Xuan by Lin Xi, and couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, ...... land And...... The merger doesn't seem to be good, listening to Grandpa Bai and his cousin's words on weekdays, it seems that the big officials are not good, so what should I do?"

Lin Xi couldn't help but smile in a low voice, "Rong'er has grown up and has begun to care about national affairs. ”

Zhao Yuanrong shook his hand with Lin Xi and smiled happily, "Rong'er is curious. ”

"You can't throttle, you can only open source. Lin Xi said lightly, "If the agricultural tax is no longer the weight of the country's revenue, or the proportion can be reduced, then the DPRK and the central government will not only focus on the surplus grain in the hands of the people, the people are small and hard, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they can survive." ”

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

Lin Xi touched his head, "You are still young, if you are older, you might as well go out and walk around, observe the people's feelings, and your vision will not be limited to one side of the capital." ”

This is good, Zhao Yuanrong asked with a smile: "Is my cousin going with you?"

"Okay, but before that, you have to get rid of your cold first, March has passed, Rong'er, I'm about to apply the needle again, but are you ready?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanrong's little face immediately collapsed, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck, and fear flashed in his eyes.

That kind of pain, once you suffer it, you don't want to have a second time.

"Uncle ......"

Zhao Yuanrong called out during the period, Lin Xi pinched his little face and said: "It's useless to call Dad, endure the pain for a while, in exchange for a healthy body, Rong'er is so smart, he must understand." Again...... Who said to protect me, is it with a body that is sick from time to time?"

Xiao Shizi couldn't stand this kind of agitation the most, and his mouth pursed when he heard the words, "Rong'er knows." ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll drink medicine with you, don't be afraid, share weal and woe. ”

returned to Lanyue Xuan, and just after sitting down, Chongjin Hall came.

Lin Xi took Zhao Yuanrong to Chongjin Hall for dinner.

After the meal, Mrs. Tai held Lin Xi's hand and asked kindly: "I didn't look very good when I came back from the palace that day. ”

Lin Xi nodded slightly, "Grandmother doesn't have to worry, it's just that Xi'er is nervous when she enters the palace for the first time, lest she be rude in front of the palace, and ...... When I saw a scene that I shouldn't see, I was always afraid of implicating the Hou Mansion, and that was Xi'er. ”

Mrs. Tai said angrily: "What else do you have to pretend in front of your grandmother, the matter of the concubine and Zhang Meiren has long been spread among the clans in the capital, don't be afraid, I can still afford this little thing in the Yongning Marquis Mansion." ”

Lin Xi smiled and said nothing.

There are some things that can be said to Mr. Bailao, but he can't leak a word with the Yongning Hou Mansion, but during this period of time, things are one after another, and the Hou Mansion may already vaguely know something.

The Marquis of Yongning's Mansion may have grievances and contradictions, or they may have their own selfishness, but whether it is two uncles or aunts, it is good for Lin Xi, and it is also Lin Xi's luck that a lonely and weak young master can be treated like this.

It's just that...... Maybe Zhao Jingyi is right, staying for a long time is not a long-term solution.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi was sentimental, but suddenly felt that the back of his hand was patted, looked up and saw Mrs. Tai's loving smile, and comforted: "This matter is over, it will be over, Xi'er doesn't have to take it to heart, as long as she studies with peace of mind." But when I came to you for dinner today, I still have one more thing to remind you, but can I still remember the dowry paperwork that your mother handed over to you that day?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered, "Those shopkeepers have entered Beijing?" Thinking about it, he said clearly, "Yes, grandmother's birthday, I have to come and pay a respect." ”

"Xi'er is ready?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xi curled the corners of his lips and raised his chin slightly, "You can ignore other things, but you can't ignore the silver that should be in hand." ”

"Little money fans. Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "There is one more thing, but do you remember what is the name of the birthday gift you gave to your wife...... Glasses, seeing things is really clear, the old sisters who came that day are rare, and they have asked a few times afterwards. ”

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What my grandmother ordered, Xi'er immediately explained, but the crystal is not easy to find, and it will take time to polish, so it is estimated that it will take a few days." ”

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

Earlier, Mrs. Tai was worried about Lin Xi, but she didn't expect her grandson to be so competitive, and she worked hard to earn a future, and on her birthday, she had a filial reputation in front of the old ladies who were rarely seen in various families, and she didn't worry about not being able to marry a famous lady in the future.

is that today's Mrs. Tai is no longer in a hurry, and Hengzhi should wait until after filial piety to discuss.

Lin Xi didn't know that Mrs. Tai had changed her mind a lot for his marriage, and now he was thinking about how to take his mother's dowry into his hands.

However, when it comes to those shops, it is Lin Xi's rightful thing, as early as after Steward Lin came back, Lin Xi immediately began to sort out all kinds of information, although he has not seen the head of the major stewards, but he has a general impression, and he has made a decision on what to do.

Three days later, in the early morning, the stewards from all over the country entered the Hou Mansion one after another to ask for peace, and Chongjin Hall specially opened the hall that had long been ignored for general affairs.

As the concubine of the Yongning Hou Mansion, Mrs. Lin's dowry is really rich, and there are nearly ten stewards and village heads sitting together, and some of them are just rented out shops.

This time, Lin Xi still came unhurriedly with Zhao Yuanrong, with a shallow smile on his face, which was a challenge for him, but it was a good learning opportunity for Zhao Yuanrong.

As soon as Lin Xi entered the hall, the originally nervous stewards were silent, and they glanced at each other, breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Even if there is Mother Qi by Mrs. Tai's side and Mrs. Hou's housekeeper mother to support the scene, they can't hide the fact that Lin Xi's face is tender and young, and Zhao Yuanrong is a child.

The sons and brothers who are too young, most of them are ignorant of the world, and I heard that they are still weak and sickly, so they are probably very foolish.

Zhao Yuanrong sat down beside Lin Xi, with a stern little face, as long as this ancestor was not capricious, even if he was only six years old, he could bluff people by learning from his father's cold face.

Lin Xi couldn't help but bend his eyebrows and look at the housekeepers in front of him one by one.

Mother Qi took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "You must have known when you came here today that Mrs. Tai has returned the dowry deed of the third aunt to the young master, and after today, the young master will be the master and owner of your righteous name, and no matter who the Yongning Marquis Mansion is, no matter who comes to interfere, is it clear?"

Qi's mother must speak, all the stewards looked at each other again, Qi Qi looked at Lin Xi, and then said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Lin Xi's eyebrows and eyes curled even more when he heard this, looking at the appearance of lowering his eyebrows, looking at the contempt and caution hidden in his eyes, and took a leisurely sip of tea.

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

Lin Xi put down the teacup, nodded, and said: "It's the first time I've seen all the stewards, and no one knows them, but I don't know what to order, so let's introduce myself first, and let me let everyone know." ”

Introducing yourself, the heads of the stewards looked at each other again when they heard this, and then glanced at Lin Xi, who closed his mouth again, and didn't speak after thinking about it.

It doesn't matter if no one voluntarily speaks, Lin Xi's eyes looked at the first place on the left, raised his chin and said: "Since that's the case, let's start with you, don't bother to introduce it, two or three sentences, explain the name clearly, the business you are in charge of now, where is it, and how the business is." ”

The steward raised his eyebrows and replied calmly, "Xia Li, a subordinate to Xia Li, is in charge of the silver building in Erhu Lane on West Street, and his business is okay." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lin Xi, who smiled and nodded, "Please take a seat, and so on, next." ”

The latter said: "The villain Fusheng, who is in charge of the Changlai Restaurant on Changping Street, has a good business." ”

"The little Cao Youde, who is in charge of Xingtian Zhuangzi, did not grow well in the drought last year, so ...... There is not much interest, and the little one has already told the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, so ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xi interrupted him, "It's okay, next." ”

……

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

Yuan Yuan immediately walked out, holding a stack of papers in his hand, and then distributed them to the stewards one by one.

As soon as these stewards picked it up, they heard Lin Xi say: "I have heard a rough idea, but the details are not clear, and you must have no other arrangements today, so you might as well help me write a detailed business summary." I want to know what kind of trading they are doing, or what kind of market makers they are planting, what is the monthly output, and whether they are making profits or losses. If it is profitable, there is still room for improvement? If it is a loss, why is it a loss, and how can it turn a loss into a profit? Can a target be set for next year, and how? 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 inquiry, and looked at each other, not knowing how to put pen to paper.

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

Well, it's not the case, it's bad, and it looks incompetent.

But one thing is certain, don't bully the young master who doesn't understand it when he's young.

"You have been in business for some years, and I guess these problems are also difficult, so I will give you an hour today, and then ...... Uncle Lin, you have collected it and handed it over to me. ”

Lin Xi got up after finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the account book in the center, and he smiled lightly: "Send all the account books to Lanyue Xuan, I will take a closer look at them when I have time." After speaking, he glanced at the stewards again, and said leisurely, "If there is a mistake, you can check it again, and I can send someone to move it back in half an hour." ”

Then Shi Shiran took Zhao Yuanrong away.

The stewards were dumbfounded, and looked up at the two mothers, but unfortunately these two couldn't figure out what Lin Xi was playing, so they had to shake their heads.

That's an ancestor, too!
