Xu Limo followed the silent Su Yunran all the way, and the two entered a furniture store. Not long ago, Liang Hezhen ordered a staircase here, and today I happened to come over to see the progress, and by the way, I picked some tables, chairs, benches, bed frames or something.

Xu Limo helped pick it, but it turned out that none of it was picked by him. Either the color is too heavy, the wood is too soft, or the smell is too great.

Su Yunran thought, he is Lang Zhong who travels to the square, why is he still picky? No, it shouldn't be said that it is picky, he seems to pay special attention to the material, and he understands it very well.

This kind of person is poor and exquisite, but if you think about it from another angle, it is that this person is well-informed and pays attention to details.

Su Yunran's scrutinizing gaze swept over Xu Limo: "Are all the poor doctors in You Fang as poor and particular as you?" ”

Xu Limo touched his nose and laughed dryly: "What do you mean to be poor?" I call this the pursuit of perfection. ”

The owner of the furniture shop wiped the sweat on his face: "Son, don't be embarrassed by the small shop, the materials, styles, and patterns you talked about, don't say it's Hongyang County, even in the whole Linzhou, no one can make it." The kind of furniture you are talking about is probably only affordable for the nobles who live in the palace. ”

Su Yunran lowered his head and chuckled: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to pay attention to him, he is joking." Tables, chairs, benches and bed frames are made according to the number of styles I choose, and the wardrobe is made according to the drawings I have drawn, and they will be sent to me when the time comes! You see I bought so much in one go, shouldn't the price be ......?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "This is natural, girl, please rest assured!" We will make all the furniture within half a month and send it to the girl, and the price is of course preferential. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper flicked a few times on the abacus: "Is this girl satisfied?" ”

Three hundred taels? Su Yunran said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, if the wardrobe style I designed is placed in your store for a few days, I will keep it and it will sell well." I've got a design, boss, you've made it. ”

The wardrobe designed by Su Yunran is a modern sliding door design, and the simple and atmospheric capacity is also larger than the conventional double-door wardrobe. She didn't believe that such a style would not become popular, so it was not too much to ask the boss for a little 'design fee' in advance, right?

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, if it can really become popular, let alone give the girl a discount, and you can give the girl a few sets of furniture for free in the future." ”

So the shopkeeper finally gave her a price of two hundred and forty taels, and gave her two more bedside tables of her design.

Xu Limo stood at the door and looked at her as cunning as a fox, the price was originally three hundred and eighty taels, but he was stunned to cut two hundred and forty taels for her. Xu Limo has to wonder if the boss really won't lose money? It can be seen that a woman's mouth cannot be credulous!

As soon as Su Yunran turned his head, he twitched the corners of his mouth with Xu Limo's suspicious face, and said, "Let's go, my father-in-law will probably come to pick me up soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, a shadow walked in at the door. With a long body and a face like a jade crown, who is it not Liang Hezhen.

Liang Hezhen wasn't sure if Su Yunran had seen him before, so he didn't take Ouyang Langshu's matter to heart: "Lady, have you chosen all the furniture?" ”

Su Yunran pulled him to look at the furniture he had chosen, and said, "Thanks to Xu Da...... Brother Xu, I have already found the person in charge of the renovation. Su Yunran used to calling him Dr. Xu, but he thought that the two of them were so familiar with each other, so they shouldn't be so rusty.

Liang Hezhen turned his head to look at Xu Limo, Brother Xu? I used to call Dr. Xu, but in just a few days, I became Brother Xu.

Xu Limo didn't feel Liang Hezhen's eyes covered with a thick layer of vinegar, but he smiled at Liang Hezhen casually: "Hey, what are you polite to me!" ”

Su Yunran turned his head and glanced at him, the warning in his eyes was very strong, almost telling him explicitly, don't mess with me!

Xu Limo touched his nose and was bored: "Okay, since your father-in-law is here, then I won't accompany you." I'll go back to Zhang's house first, don't forget to come over for a follow-up. ”

After Xu Limo left, Liang Hezhen still looked at his distant back. A strange smile appeared on Su Yunran's face: "Xianggong, do you follow his distant back with such an inseparable gaze?" ”

Liang Hezhen turned around and pinched her nose: "This person doesn't look like a Jianghu Langzhong, it's better to stay away from him as much as possible in the future." ”

Su Yunran smiled and didn't answer, although Xu Limo behaved very unscrupulously and unreliable after getting acquainted, she believed that he was not a bad person.

Liang Hezhen drove the car, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadow of the carriage long.

Su Yunran lifted the curtain and went out and sat next to him: "Xianggong, how do you feel about going on an errand on the first day today?" Can the errand of the yamen still be able to cope with it? ”

Liang Hezhen nodded: "Don't worry, I can still do this." I promised my mother to support my family, but now it seems that my mother is supporting me? ”

Su Yunran chuckled: "Then can I raise you?" ”

Liang Hezhen seemed to think for a moment: "It's okay." ”

Su Yunran smiled, the sun was setting, and the little carriage returned home at dusk.

————

Su Yunran, who has been busy decorating the shop recently, has not gone around the space since he was fine, and he deliberately took the time to go in today, and just after entering, he heard the system prompt.

"Congratulations to the host, a thousand merits have been obtained."

A thousand merits! Su Yunran was pleasantly surprised. But where did this thousand merits come from?

Su Yunran suddenly remembered the man he saved in the mountains and forests that day, it should be him, right? But saving his life is worth a thousand merits, so he must not be a bad person, right?

Su Yunran's logic is that since the merit book can give a thousand merits, then this person must not be some kind of Jiang Yang thief who kills people without blinking.

"Host, you have accumulated 1,200 merits, do you need to use it?"

Su Yunran shook her head, she couldn't use it, she still had to save up enough merit to open up other spaces as soon as possible.

Su Yunran was busy so she didn't notice it, and there were more gossip about her in the village. However, she was protected by Fu Mianniang, so a lot of gossip did not reach her ears.

Su Yunran was still studying the spices in the skill space, and heard a commotion outside the space.

Su Yunran was worried that it was the Jiang clan who was coming to be a demon and hurriedly exited the space to check, but he didn't expect that the reason for the noise this time was the village chief.

"Village chief, this year is so dry, the harvest will definitely be less than in previous years. You said that if the court is cold, it will increase taxes and grain, this is ...... Is this still going to let you live? ”

"That's right! This tax grain has increased too quickly, and one stone of grain will be levied on one acre of land, which will not leave us with food at all! ”

The village chief also sighed, this is an order issued by the imperial court, what can he do with a small village chief?

"This matter has been decided by the imperial court, and I can't help it. I heard that there was going to be a war in the north, and the tax was also collected for the purpose of fighting. This war is also to protect the family and defend the country, so everyone tightens their belts and hands over food. ”

Everyone was noisy and shouting, but the people did not fight with the officials, and the orders of the court were not something that the small people could disobey.

After the village chief announced, he let everyone disperse, and continued to gather together to resist, but I am afraid that the emotions are a little uncontrollable.

Liang Erhai frowned bitterly: "This year's drought grain production will definitely be reduced, but at this time there will be a war, and the increase in taxes is another matter, if you are afraid, you will be afraid of ......."

Fu Mianniang shook her head: "Don't think about it, child, father, the war in the north can't be here for us." Zhen'er is not in good health, which has been recorded in the yamen. ”

Su Yunran sounded a little ignorant, but it didn't take long for her to understand Fu Mianniang's words.

Yao Chunjing came to her with a worried face, and was injured and carrying a basket of eggs: "Xiao Ran, do you know about the increase in taxes and grain?" ”

Su Yunran nodded: "It's really a bit tense these days. ”

Yao Chunjing shook his head and sighed: "This is not the most fearful, if you are afraid, you are afraid...... I'm going to draw Ding into the army! ”

Su Yunran was stunned, she knew that the status of the ancient literati was very high, and she didn't even have to kneel when she saw the county order to become a showman. Not only that, but with Xiucai's fame in his body, he can also be exempted from forced labor.

Her face turned pale, and she understood Fu Mianniang's worries. It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, one household draws one ding to serve, and those who have meritorious fame are not among them.

Among the men of the Liang family's grandchildren now, there are only Liang Guanyu and Liang Hezhen, and Liang Guanyu is already a showman, so if he really draws Ding, then this place will undoubtedly be Liang Hezhen's.

"Not really, right? Hasn't the imperial court been at war for many years? There shouldn't be a shortage of people, right? Although she said this to herself, she actually had no bottom in her heart.

Yao Chunjing also saw her worries, and in turn comforted her: "Also, maybe this war won't be over soon." ”

Both of them laughed dryly, but the sorrow in their hearts did not decrease by half.

It's time to go to Zhang's Mansion for follow-up again, Su Yunran was silent all the way, and Liang Hezhen was naturally the first to hear the news of increasing taxes and grain in Yamen. The little lady of his family is delicate, and she probably has already thought that the imperial court is likely to draw Ding Ding into the army.

"Lady, don't worry, this war won't last long." Liang Hezhen held her hand and said in a very affirmative tone. Su Yunran thought that his words must have just comforted her, but she didn't know why his tone could easily make her feel that what he said was the truth.

Liang Hezhen is not untargeted, this battle is indeed just an escalation of friction between the two countries. This is just a process of mutual testing, and it is still too early for the real outbreak to erupt.

"Xianggong, if the imperial court really wants to draw Ding, will you really want to join the army?"

Liang Hezhen's fingertips smoothed the folds in her eyebrows: "My body has changed under the rejuvenation of the lady's skillful hands, even if I really go to the battlefield, I can protect myself." ”

Su Yunran couldn't help but glance at him, don't think that a burst of praise for her rainbow farts could reassure her: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee that he can escape with his whole body." I just don't know much about the little woman, I don't have a family and country in my heart, I hope you can be safe and smooth. ”
