Before dawn in the early morning of the second day, Lin Wanrong was sleeping in Zhengxiang, but heard a woman shouting outside the door: "Lin San, get up quickly." ”

Lin Wanrong opened her eyes dimly, and when she heard what seemed to be the voice of the eldest lady, she wondered in her heart, why did this girl get up so early, aren't you afraid of panda eyes?

"Lin San, hurry up, we're leaving." The eldest lady's voice came from outside again. Lin Wanrong had no choice but to put on her clothes and walk over to open the door, but she saw that the stars were shining in the sky, and the morning star was bright, and there was still more than an hour before dawn?

The eldest lady was already dressed tightly, wearing a long cloak, her little face was a little red from the cold wind, she stood outside the door and glanced at him and said, "I know that you are still sleeping." Wake up quickly, and we're off to go. Lin Wan yawned and said, "Miss, what time is it, are you in such a hurry?" ”

Xiao Yuruo snorted and said: "This is a journey of hundreds of miles to Hangzhou, if you don't travel earlier, where can you catch up?" You're lazy, you're lazy, so many excuses, but you're going to knock on your ear next time, see how you're still lazy. ”

Lin Wanrong said in her heart, here she comes, this is why she is looking for a reason to discipline me, hehe, this chick is too underestimating me. I washed my face with cold water, the weather was getting colder, and I took a few more clothes, and went out with the eldest lady.

The eldest lady saw that his movements were swift and clean. His face improved a little, and he said, "Don't be like this in the future, how can I urge you?" Lin Wanrong said in her heart, it's just right that you don't come, Lao Tzu will sleep at dawn.

to the door. Looking at the situation, Lin Wanrong was a little ashamed. Not only Mrs. Xiao was standing there, but even Xiao Yushuang was blushing slightly, obviously waiting for a while. When the second lady saw him coming, she smiled sweetly, which made Lin Wanrong feel a warm fire in her heart.

Lao Tzu is probably the laziest family in this era, Lin Wanrong laughed a few times. He stepped forward and said, "Madam, second miss, morning." ”

Madame nodded and smiled, "Lin San." Did you sleep well last night? If I hadn't walked early today, I wouldn't have woken you up so early. ”

Madame's words are really heartwarming, but Lin Wanrong clearly knows that this is a means for Madame to envelop herself. Anyway, it's nice to say, and it doesn't cost money.

"Mrs. Xie cares, and she sleeps well all night." Lin Wanrong pretended to be grateful.

Madame nodded and smiled: "If Yu is a woman, it is inconvenient to be alone. The road to Hangzhou, you have a lot of trouble. ”

"Where, where, with the wise leadership of the eldest lady, this road will be smooth and cloudy. Smooth and safe. Lin Wanrong said sloppily.

The second lady looked at him with a smile, her red lips biting lightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak because of the presence of her mother and sister.

The eldest lady saw that everyone was almost ready, so she said to her wife: "Mother, you and Yushuang go back and rest, and we will set off." Xiao Yushuang hurriedly walked a few steps, took the eldest lady's hand and said, "Sister, you should be careful all the way." ”

Xiao Yuruo smiled and nodded. The second lady turned her head to look at Lin Wanrong again, and said softly: "Lin San, you-be careful." ”

"Thank you, Second Miss." Lin Wanrong unconsciously approached a few steps, and was about to grab the second lady's little hand, but saw the eldest lady sideways in front of her sister and said, "Lin San, are you ready?" Seeing that this eldest lady flashed a hint of cunning, Lin Wanrong was annoyed, you girl, you are deliberately bad for my good deeds, damn, one day, I will also spoil your good deeds.

"Oh, it's all ready, by the way, Second Miss, is the Huajing you are reading now good-looking? The Lingyin Temple by the West Lake in Hangzhou, I heard that it is a famous temple, why don't I go and find two good Buddhist scriptures for you? I don't know if there is an illustrated version. ”

The second lady covered her mouth and chuckled secretly, this bad person, the Buddhist scriptures are not all the same, how can there be any good or bad? Do you think the tabloid you drew has an illustrated version? This is clearly looking for a ballast to talk to me.

Seeing that the eldest lady was a little angry, Xiao Yushuang hurriedly said: "No need, you just go and take good care of your sister, and you have to take care of it yourself, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, come back early." Speaking of the back, the voice is inaudible.

Mrs. Xiao stood far away and hadn't heard it yet, but the eldest lady and Lin Wanrong were very close, seeing Lin Sanmei smiling, the eldest lady snorted secretly: "That being the case, then let's go." ”

After saying that, she turned around and pedaled, and the second lady took the opportunity to help her sister get into the car, but she gently threw it to Lin Sanxiao. Lin Wanrong hurriedly grabbed it in his hand. The second young lady had a small face, glanced at him quietly, and quickly retreated. Lin Wanrong itched in her heart, Yushuang, a girl, has even learned private actions such as throwing small notes, and she is becoming more and more sultry.

The eldest lady lifted the curtain in the car, waved to her mother and sister, and said, "Mother, Yushuang, you go back and rest, we will be back in a few days." Mrs. Xiao nodded, but the second lady had a sour nose, waved to the carriage again and again, and faintly saw that the bad guy was smiling and waving to herself, her eyes were a little red, and she was shy and worried in her heart, lying in her mother's arms, tears wet her eyes.

Lin Wanrong turned over and stepped onto the dark horse, this time she followed the eldest lady to Hangzhou, in addition to Lin Wanrong, there were also a family member and a girl, and the girl naturally took the car with the eldest lady. The remaining two family members are all acquaintances, one is clever and virtuous, and the other is an honest man Xiao Feng.

Due to the supply of petals, the perfume workshop can only produce more than 500 bottles per month. The four virtues were established with Fu Bo and a few people, and they were no strangers to Lin San. These two family members were all personally selected by the eldest lady, thinking that Lin Wanrong was somewhat familiar with the two of them. With a good hand, he was also capable, so he took them with him.

Xiao Yuruo saw that the three of them got on the horse, so he poked his head out of the curtain and said, "Lin San, let's go to Hangzhou." Except for me, you are the leader, but you must take them well, don't cause trouble, and have high hopes for your mother. ”

This chick is very cunning, deliberately letting people take care of two people, calling me a sense of responsibility. It's a good move.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, Side, you two follow me well." Don't get lost. ”

"Yes, third brother." The two of them said respectfully at the same time. Lin Wanrong is now a senior family, much higher than the two of them, and her status in the Xiao family is even more prosperous. I'm afraid that even the king's housekeeper will be honored as the third brother when he sees him.

This bad guy still has dignity, the eldest lady nodded secretly, and said, "In this case, you should take care of each other." ”

The three of them were divided into two groups, Lin Wanrong and Xiao Feng rode side by side on the left side of the carriage, and the four virtues were guarded on the right side of the carriage. The group and others went out of the city.

Lin Wanrong is now becoming more familiar with riding, borrowing Xiao Feng's body to block the eldest lady's gaze, and gently unwrapping the small note thrown by the second lady, only to see a line of Juanxiu words written on it: "Go quickly and return quickly, waiting for you!" ”

Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled, her words were short but long, and Yushuang, a girl, became more and more well-behaved.

When the carriage and horses passed by the food for the fairyland, Lin Wanrong saw from a distance that the lights in Qiaoqiao's room had been turned on, this girl actually got up so early, a warm current rose in his heart, and he was about to find a way to commit a crime to the eldest lady to see Qiaoqiao, but Zhengshi set up a delicate figure under the fairy building, and looked at it intently, it was Qiaoqiao Nizi.

"Big brother-" Qiaoqiao saw Lin Wanrong and rushed over.

Lin Wanrong was taken aback, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said, "Qiaoqiao, why are you here?" The weather was getting colder, Qiaoqiao wore a small red flower jacket, blushed little, held Lin Wanrong's hand tightly and said, "Big brother, I'll wait for you." Gently brushing away the frost edges hanging from Qiaoqiao's hair, Lin Wanrong took her little hand and said, "Silly girl, why are you here." ”

Qiaoqiao smiled shyly: "The eldest lady asked someone to bring me a message yesterday night, saying that you are going to Hangzhou with him today, and let me prepare food for you." As he was speaking, Xiao Tairuo poked his head out of the carriage and said, "Qiaoqiao, thank you so much." ”

Qiao Qiao smiled sweetly: "Miss, why are you so outside?" ”

Qiaoqiao waved his hand, and there were two guys in the fairy land, carrying some food and putting it in the carriage, Xiao Nizi took a bamboo blue, and said to Lin Wanrong: "Big brother, these are all favorite foods, make a hot fire, and you can use it." ”

Lin Wanrong held her cold little hand and said, "Qiaoqiao, don't stay up late in the future, it's not good for your health, you won't be allowed in the future." Listen to the big brother, go back and rest now. ”

Qiaoqiao hummed and lowered her head: "Big brother, this is a long way to Hangzhou, you can take care of your body." ”

Lin Wanrong gently stroked her little face and said, "Silly girl, don't cry soon, the eldest brother will come back in a few days." This Hangzhou, close, the eldest brother rode a horse, and he tried to go back and forth at night. ”

Qiaoqiao wiped away his tears, hurriedly stopped him and said: "Big brother, don't be tired, walking a long way is not better than being in the air, you must walk slowly and carefully, don't be in a hurry." ”

The eldest lady seemed to be a little impatient when she saw the two of them, so she said, "Has the eldest lady paid for these foods?" ”

Qiaoqiao burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Big brother, how can you be so calculating? Really ......"

Seeing Lin Wanrong smiling, it became clear that the eldest brother was amusing herself, Xiaoni was happy and ashamed, and it was not the first time she had talked to her eldest brother like this, but it was fresh every time, and the eldest brother didn't know where the magic came from.

Sending it reluctantly, Lin Wanrong saw that the eldest lady seemed to be a little unhappy, so he didn't speak. Now it seems that all this was deliberately arranged by the eldest lady, deliberately so that people would be informed in advance of Qiaoqiao, and they wanted to eat and eat. But he deliberately let Qiaoqiao see him off, which can be regarded as selling Lin Wanrong's face. Is this grateful? This girl is a thief.

The group walked for a while, the city wall was in sight, and they were about to leave the city, but they saw a few dukes in the distance. Holding a high fire ghost, he was looking out of the wall, but he saw a few men in the distance. Holding a tall torch, sticking something on the wall, like that, it seems to be a notice.

Lin Wanrong looked at Side, this kid was really clever enough, so he stepped on the horse and ran forward, and came back after a while.

The eldest lady saw the situation. Then he said, "What is the notice?" ”

Side said respectfully: "Miss Yu, third brother, that is a letter issued by the Governor." ”

"Oh?" The eldest lady is strange. This governor has always given very few notices. What's wrong with this time, something is wrong.

The group rushed up, Lin Wanrong opened her eyes wide and looked at the vertical row of traditional characters, her eyes were dazzled. After a few glances, he didn't bother to look at it, so he asked Xiao Feng next to him: "I didn't sleep well last night, and I can't open my eyes, tell me quickly, what kind of notice did the governor come from?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "It's a new tax announcement. Governor Volkswagen said. In order to raise funds, build river defense, and benefit the people of Jiangsu, in line with the principle of having money to contribute money and being powerful, we specially levy governance and industry taxes on the Qinglou by the Qinhuai River. After paying this tax, these green buildings can go to the yamen to obtain a signature to register and make a register, and officially list it, and then they will operate in a bright and bright manner with this signature. ”

Wonderful. This Lao Luo had a set, and only gave him the idea of increasing taxes, but he went one step further and cleverly combined this tax increase with the issuance of business licenses, so that the official prostitutes were clearly marked. These green buildings are originally semi-light and half-dark, and engaging in industries that are neither allowed nor prohibited is equivalent to receiving a permit from the yamen, and the green buildings have become open and legal. In this way, driven by huge profits, even if the tax amount is high, those bosses are willing.

Lao Luo's hand is really beautiful, Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart, but listened to Xiao Feng continue: "Lord Luo also said that he has given an order to Lord Cheng, the commander of the capital of Jiangsu, that the cavalry sergeants of the infantry battalion should immediately open the embankment and repair the Yangtze River defense, and also called on the people of the whole province to actively donate money and contribute to the river defense. At the critical moment, to defend the homeland, if anyone does not obey the order, it will destroy my Xinling, destroy my Jiangsu, and be a sinner through the ages. ”

Although Cheng De and Luo Min are not in harmony, but Luo Min is the nominally highest military and political promotion in Jiangsu Province, and Cheng De must also be restrained by him.

The Qinglou makes the eldest lady disdainful, but he is also in business, and in business, this new tax is not good for businessmen, she sighed: "It's not easy to do business, but the new tax is only based on the words of the official master." It was the dog-headed master who came up with the idea. ”

Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely on his forehead, isn't that the dog-headed master me, this unjust reputation can't be remembered, he hurriedly defended: "For a life like Qinglou, of course, I don't need to talk about the huge profits." But this livelihood is stained with women's blood and tears, and the silver that falls into the hands of those hard-working women is less than one out of ten. Where did all this huge profit go? ”

The eldest lady showed a contemplative look, and Lin Wanrong continued: "This Qinglou exists, naturally has its reasons, to put it bluntly, it can survive if it is needed." Since there is this demand, it is better to simply pick it out, standardize it, and impose heavy taxes on the windfall profits, so as to restrict his development, and have a source of taxes, killing two birds with one stone, why not? ”

What restricts development, this is a completely deceptive nonsense, there is a market where there is demand, this is an eternal truth, collecting heavy taxes on this Qinglou will not have much impact on those vampire bosses, this burden will be married to the prostitutes, Lin Wanrong naturally knows the doorway. As a result, the identities of those Qinglou sisters have skyrocketed, and it costs more money to visit the kiln, alas, this can't be blamed on me, this looks, the price of pork has risen, not to mention the kiln sisters? One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, whoever makes men good at this and contributes to river defense, just admit it.

The eldest lady glanced at him and said, "Lin San, if you defend Lord Luo like this, is it because you can't get out of business?" ”

"How can it, such a genius mainstay, how could I come up with it, it is estimated that Lord Luo is the first smart person to come up with a brilliant idea." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

The eldest lady snorted and didn't say. A few people were majestic, "Big brothers, are you done posting here?" ”

Wanying seemed to have some appeal, and those errand officials nodded again and again: "It's finished." ”

Wan Ying nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave, but saw a black horse standing in front of the notice, and immediately sat on the person, looking at herself and smiling, wasn't it Lin San who was beating people?
