Chapter Seventy-Four: Bragging

Lian Xuan's frightened back was cold, and without saying a word, he picked it up and threw it in his mouth.

Then he looked at An Rong depressedly, where did she read so many poems, why hadn't he heard it?

I only listened to An Rong continue to read:

"I entered the city yesterday and came back with tears in my eyes. Those who are covered in Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders. ”

Xiao Laoguogong's eyes were red and he was angry.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road," An Rong sighed, "...... Strict taxes and greed for ink are rampant, no matter how hard they work to cultivate, in the end they will starve to death or ....... ”

"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. ”

Xiao Laoguo muttered repeatedly, his face was solemn, his eyes looked at An Rong more and more differently, with judgment and scrutiny at the bottom of his eyes, and a hint of confusion, as if he was thinking about something, but he was young, he was born in a family, and he actually had the suffering of the people in his heart, and he was a talent that could be created!

Xiao Qian's face was ashamed.

Lian Xuan glanced up and down at An Rong, her delicate phoenix eyes were full of surprise, was she really a timid woman?

Xiao Zhan held back his expression as always, and his eyes were dark and difficult to guess.

Shen Anbei stood aside, his eyes wide, is this still her fourth sister who spends money like water?

No wonder Shen Anbei is suspicious, the meaning of An Rong's words is that the family is extravagant and wasteful, and it means to be thrifty!

"Then what should the court do?" Xiao Lao Guogong continued to ask.

An Rong thought for a while and said, "Gently shake the tax, persuade the farmers to pay the mulberry, recuperate, and hide the wealth from the people." ”

"Hiding the wealth from the people?" Xiao Laoguo looked sideways slightly, and the imperial court has always advocated hiding wealth in the country.

An Rong nodded, "If the people are rich, the country will be rich." When the people are strong, the country is strong. When a country prospers, so does a nation. A strong country will secure the people. If the people are rich, the country will be rich, and the country will be strong and the people will be rich. ”

An Rong didn't know who put forward this theory of enriching the people, but she knew that this theory caused a big wave in the imperial court, and in the end the theory of enriching the people won, for this reason, she also made a bet with Su Junze and won a set of headdresses in Yujin Pavilion.

After speaking. An Rong said, "If the court is too rich, it is easy for the superior to have a predatory heart, causing the people to be miserable, and then the poor people will rise up to resist, and if the people are rich and content, the court will also be revitalized." ”

Xiao Laoguo pondered solemnly, entangled in whether he should enrich the country or the people.

It seems that the rich people are more reasonable?

The people are well fed and clothed, and they have money to spare. That is the scene of prosperity, which is poorer than the people. As soon as there is a natural or man-made disaster, it is good to empty the treasury.

An Rong's mouth was dry, and when he saw that he was engrossed, he secretly drank tea, but as a result, Xiao Lao Guogong said, 'Well said', An Rong almost choked to death, and his face was purple.

With a complaining look in her eyes, An Rong didn't dare to accuse, she wanted to go home, because Xiao Lao Guogong put a big hand on her shoulder and said in disgust, "The body is too thin, less than half of your eldest brother." ”

Shen Anbei stared at the hand, eager to help An Rong lift it up, but he didn't dare, only by valuing intimacy, Xiao Lao Guogong would pat An Rong's shoulder, but An Rong has a daughter's family, slender and slender is beautiful.

An Rong's face was purple, and in the end, Lian Xuan couldn't look at it, and helped him lift it up and said, "Grandfather, how strong are you, don't crush others." ”

"My grandfather wants my uncle to teach her martial arts," Xiao Zhan said coldly.

An Rong was almost frightened, don't, don't let Master Xiao teach her martial arts, she will die!

"No, I don't want to be cooked," An Rong shook his head violently, looking frightened.

An Rong's reaction was too big, and everyone in the room looked at her.

"How do you know that your uncle will cook him if he teaches martial arts?" Lian Xuan was puzzled, even the maids in the house didn't know about this, how did she know?

An Rong couldn't wait to bite her tongue, could she say that she had ever lost her way in the Guogong Mansion and had seen it with her own eyes? That time almost scared her to death.

"I smell it, I smell it on him," An Rong said, pointing at Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian's face was full of black lines, and Lian Xuan leaned over to smell vigorously, "How can there be a smell of cooking, only the smell of medicine." ”

Xiao Qian raised his hand and pushed Lian Xuan away, boiling and cooking are two different things, it sounds so infiltrating.

Old Man Xiao laughed, "That's my Xiao family's tradition, used to refine muscles and bones." ”

But it's too ruthless, An Rong's head is about to shake out, and Xiao Lao Guogong didn't force it, this is not his grandson, he can't force it, but such a good boy, he likes it in his heart, especially the sentence "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer", I always feel that I have heard it somewhere.

Xiao Laoguo treated An Rong as a New Year's friend, and asked him what books he usually reads and what his hobbies are, An Rong's scalp is so tight that he can only make up nonsense, and what he says is basically what his eldest brother likes, she can't say that she likes to raise flowers and grass, fly kites, and go shopping, right?

She thought that if she said that she liked embroidery, Xiao Lao Guogong would definitely faint.

Fortunately, Xiao Lao Guogong did not suspect that she was lying, and also educated a few grandchildren by the way, look at others, they are younger than you, but they are much more sensible than you.

Lian Xuan almost vomited blood, and squinted at An Rong with his eyes: It's almost enough to brag, don't go too far, it's difficult for their grandchildren to do it, there is a big brother, they are very hard, this is going to be another child from someone else's family, will they still live?

If it's true, forget it, but the question is that you are bragging, are they wronged by being scolded?

An Rong was comfortable, and she also felt that she had blown the fire, from astronomy to geography.

Xiao Lao Guogong nodded appreciatively, An Rong was already a person who knew astronomy and geography in his eyes, and if he wanted to talk to An Rong about astronomy and geography, An Rong almost burst into tears.

Bragging hits a nail.

Lian Xuan's cheeks hurt with a smile, making you brag, grandfather is not stupid.

I saw An Rong sitting there meditating, yes, she was racking her brains to recall, what was the weather like in the past few days in her previous life.

My head hurts when I think about it, I can't help it, so that no one will remember what the weather is like.

She remembered that the day after her father came back in her previous life, the house sent a camellia, which was a very famous peony and snow, which the old lady bought for eight hundred taels.

was going to give a gift to Concubine Ning, but in the end, due to the sudden rain, the little girl broke the flowers when she ran, and the old lady was furious and beat the little girl to death.

It seems like today.

An Rong raised his eyes and said, "Half an hour later, there will be rain, and we should go home." ”

Lian Xuan looked at the sky and looked back at An Rong, "There is not a single dark cloud in the sky, are you sure it will rain in half an hour?" ”

An Rong coughed lightly, "Sure." ”

Shen Anbei felt that An Rong was using an excuse to escape, so he bragged too much, and he had to slip away quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get off the stage for a while.

Xiao Lao Guogong didn't believe it either, but An Rong's face was full of words that it would rain, I didn't want to get drenched in the rain, Xiao Lao Guogong felt that he could believe him.

"In that case, let Qian'er send you out of the house," Xiao Laoguo said with a smile over tea.

Lian Xuan said, "Grandfather, I'll send them out, just go to Jimin Hall to see the excitement, and then go home." ”

Xiao Laoguo glared at Lian Xuan, "If you don't do your job, you have to intervene wherever there is excitement." ”

Lian Xuan glanced at An Rong meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Didn't I hear that the boss of Jimintang was looking for a way for his uncle, I'll go see if I can help." ”

An Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, Xiao Guogong's Mansion is the backer behind Jimin Hall?

"What can I do, what I say, it's a mouthful of spit, and I can't regret it," Xiao Laoguo said fairly.

Regarding the matter of buying the secret recipe of Jimintang, he despised it in his heart, even if it is competition, it must be upright and bright, how can he dig into the corner of the wall, but he fell into the pit of others, and now he is forced to compensate, and the conservative estimate is 100,000 taels.

The boss of Jimintang is unwilling to pay it, and wants all of them who have invested in the shares to take the money out to fill the hole, or they will use their power to oppress people, but Dr. Liu has saved the life of Master Xiao, can he do it?

What's more, today's Liuji Pharmacy, with Prince Rui's Mansion as a backer, as well as Wu'anhou Mansion and Jian'anbo Mansion, thinking of Wu'an's Hou Mansion, Xiao Laoguo suddenly raised his eyebrows, "The secret recipe of Xuerong Pill seems to come from Wu'an's Hou Mansion?" ”

An Rong glanced at Lian Xuan hatefully, he did it on purpose!

Deliberately mentioned Jimin Tang so as to involve her!

An Rong nodded, now that the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to hide, so he said frankly, "The secret recipe of Xue Rong Pill is indeed from the Hou Mansion, because the secret recipe is too important, I was locked in the cabinet by my sister, but I don't want to be stolen by the villain." ”

Xiao Laoguogong's face was cold, "It was stolen by Jimin Hall?" ”

An Rong shook his head.

"I don't know if it's Jimintang, but the lost secret recipe must have ended up in Jimintang, and Jimintang deserves it today, knowing that the secret recipe of the Hou Mansion was given to Liuji Pharmacy, and this secret recipe is not coming from the right way, so it shouldn't be in the same league as the thieves, and finally be implicated," An Rong smiled without fear.

Xiao Qian didn't understand, "Since the secret recipe has been lost, why is it that Jimintang sells fake medicines, could it be that thieves are intent on harming Jimintang?" ”

Although Jimin Hall is at fault, it is another matter to be calculated.

Shen Anbei finally seized the opportunity to speak, "Actually, the secret recipe that the sister locked under the box is only half, and she didn't write it all, so the pills sold by Jimin Tang only have half the effect, and it's not that someone is cheating him." ”

Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lian Xuan's eyes widened, and he became more and more puzzled, "The secret recipe is only half?" Then why do the pills at Liu Kee Pharmacy work so well? ”

An Rong rolled his eyes, "In fact, the secret recipe has been burned a long time ago, I am afraid that it will be forgotten for a long time, and it will be locked in the box, and because the secret recipe of the Xue Rong Pill has been fought for in the house, the secret recipe is too important, so I will keep a hand, but I didn't expect it to be stolen." ”

She was tempted to say that the secret recipe was used to catch thieves, but it was unexpected that Jimin Tang would take the bait, but the effect would be unexpectedly good.

There are too many backers behind Jimintang, and the interests are too involved, and the pills are out, and the dividends in the past two years are estimated to be gone, and those backers will not be happy to see this loss, let alone bear it, and finally have to find someone who sells fake prescriptions to bear, it should be a matter of one or two days.

This time, she saw how the eldest lady escaped. (To be continued......)
