Lin Xiao explained for a long time before the little guy understood that being a mother is an adult's business, and his task is to study hard.

comforted the little guy, seeing that his eyes were red and swollen from crying, Lin Xiao didn't ruthlessly let him continue studying.

"Let's go out and play, but your sister Rourou is still practicing calligraphy, don't run around, remember to say hello to the master when you go out to play, you know?" Rory gave a lot of verbosity, and Lin Xiao felt that he had the potential to become an old mother.

The little guy happily agreed, "I know the master." "Although he was beaten, he didn't have to write big words, and the little guy was still very happy.

"Don't be too happy, you have to write today's five big characters when you come back." Lin Xiaoyang raised his hand, "If you don't behave, you will still be beaten." ”

"Oh, got it." The little guy lazily coped with it, which was really different from before.

Lin Xiao also knew that it was really difficult for such a young child to let him study, so he didn't teach much on weekdays, just cultivating a good habit for him.

"It's cold, remember to wear thick clothes." Lin Xiao felt that he was really considerate enough, since he became a master, he was really like a mother.

The little guy obediently changed into thick clothes, and then went out to play. He didn't go far, he just played under the tree at the gate. Lin Xiao watched him dig with a small stick from afar, probably either digging earthworms or ant holes, and didn't care about him.

I played the piano quietly for a while, and it was not too early.

Shen Kangshi came over and asked Lin Xiao what he was eating for dinner, Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Just make some of it, isn't there a lot of braised pork left at noon, if there are still beans at home, let's stew them together, and buy two pieces of tofu dipping sauce to eat." ”

Shen Kangshi nodded in agreement, and Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law, if there is any difficulty, squeak, don't worry too much about money." "It stands to reason that the Shen family has ten acres of land, and they shouldn't worry about paying taxes. After all, the food they eat now is basically Lin Xiao and they are paying.

Sure enough, Shen Kangshi replied: "It's nothing this year, there are five taels of silver for your rented house, and it's enough to pay taxes or anything, it's just ...... This tax was increased again. How will I live in the future? "Their family has reduced production less this year, and it is considered a better family in the village, but when I think about the days after this, I start to make trouble.

Lin Xiao thought of his own corn. smiled and said, "It will get better in the future." "If corn and rice can really be planted on a pilot basis in Youzhou Mansion, with the vast and sparsely populated resources and unique black soil of Youzhou Mansion, then life will really be better.

"Alas, I still have to live my life, I don't want to do so much." Shen Kangshi sighed and left. The thought of the man not being at home, but having to pay an extra head tax, made me even more panicked.

There is no good way to persuade this kind of thing, Lin Xiao shook his head and continued to play the piano. But I always felt like something was missing, and I simply stopped playing if I wasn't quiet.

Lin Xiao was a little depressed, but he also knew that his current identity couldn't do anything at all. It's better to be a rich man quietly. Not to mention her identity as a maid, she is a woman, and if she wants to make a difference in this male-dominated feudal era, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Sure enough, there was no tax collected in the evening. I heard from the people in the village that Qian Guliang woke up in the evening and yelled that he had a headache, vomiting and tossing, but he had no choice, he had already sent people back to the county seat while it was dark, and the county government would probably send someone else to collect taxes.

Lin Xiao sneered, a little tossing him was a lesson for him, next time he would be so good, but there would be no such cheap thing.

It is also strange to say that Lin Xiao has always been confused about emotional matters, but he is sensitive to Qian Guliang's ill intentions.

The next day. The man surnamed Gu came to the village with another person, and came over just after breakfast. This time, I was not busy eating and drinking, and started collecting taxes first.

The people in the village sighed, but they cried vigorously and hoped to pay less taxes. Some people even brought the disabled old lady over in the hope of catching the pity.

But that's all there is to the village. There are more people who want to pay less, and the tax paid can be less, but it will not be too much less, so he sat on the side with a calm face and looked at the accounts, and He Wennian was responsible for persuasion.

It was Lin Xiao's turn to cry and cry and shout.

He Wennian showed her the amount that Lin Xiao had to pay, and after listening to it for a long time, Lin Xiao also knew the standard of tax collection. Their land has not been planted yet, and there is a ten-year tax exemption, so naturally they do not have to pay taxes, but this poll tax and new taxes always have to be paid.

Now that the price of grain has begun to rise, Lin Xiao naturally did not pay the grain, but directly handed over the silver. She didn't cry and shouted at her mother's request to pay less, He Wennian looked at her, Lin Xiao directly took one percent less silver to him, He Wennian hesitated a little and didn't say anything, this matter is over.

This time, there is no womanizer like Qian Guliang, so it will naturally be smooth and smooth.

At noon, the tax was still confiscated, and He Wennian asked the catchers to eat first, but was rejected by the person surnamed Gu. This made Lin Xiao feel that the people in the yamen were not all so annoying.

As a result, it didn't take long for someone to call Lin Xiao, saying that he was going to Lizheng's house to help cook.

How many people in Lizheng's family still need her to cook for dinner? She herself is too lazy to cook on weekdays, why?

As a result, seeing that Peng Wang's family was also outside the door, Lin Xiao suppressed his anger and went to explain to Xiao Bu before leaving, "Don't play wild, go and write that big character." ”

The little guy saw that the master was leaving, and he was in a hurry. "Master, why are you going?" The father of the family is gone, and the master is gone, but he is left alone. This is nothing short of a disaster for the insecure little ones.

Lin Xiao was already angry, and he was even more reluctant to see the good apprentice's anxious appearance.

"Let's go, the master will take you to eat." Let her work, there's no reason not to eat.

Peng Wang covered his mouth and smiled lowly, feeling more and more that this Lin Xiao was different.

Lin Xiao puffed up, "What is my sister-in-law laughing at?" Am I wrong? ”

Peng Wangshi also knew what she was angry about, and said in a low voice: "The people from the county government know that you and I cook well, so you can endure this time." ”

Lin Xiao was helpless, "It's my business to cook well." "Why should you care about others?

"It's not easy for Lizheng, he has paid so many taxes less, and he has to give an explanation to the county government. A good girl listens to her sister-in-law, don't worry too much. "Knowing that Lin Xiao has a bad temper, when Xu Lang left, he begged her to help take care of it, Peng Wang's family really likes Lin Xiao's temperament, what to say is not hypocritical.

"Okay, okay, I'm just not going to make a fuss." Lin Xiao said depressedly: "Then it's okay for me to take my apprentice to eat, and I can't let me work and still starve our mother." ”

Peng Wangshi was teased by her, "Okay, okay, how can it not work." "This girl is a living treasure.

He Wennian's family has already bought vegetables, there are more than ten catties of pork, and the wine is a good wine for the Liu family. There were already a few women in the courtyard who were busy working, and when they saw Lin Xiao and them coming, everyone just nodded politely.

Xiao was a little bored, so he told Lin Xiao to go home and write big characters first. As soon as he got home, the little one saw a man leading the horse at the door...... (To be continued.) )
