There are many poems about the Double Ninth Festival in September, and many of them are even well-known. Even Xiang Zixi, who is half illiterate, can recite a few words casually, which shows how important this Chongyang Festival is to Chinese.

On this day, the weather seems to be good, the wind is mild, and it is indeed suitable for going out and walking around.

The sky had just dawned, Xiang Zixi was sitting lazily in the living room eating, and Jin Haoxuan came in from outside with a sweat. Since the news of Xiang Zixi's last accident came back, Xin Zeyang has been practicing archery like crazy. In his words, he has lost the best opportunity to practice martial arts, but he is still a man, so he has to take on the responsibility of protecting the people around him.

If you can't practice martial arts, then practice archery!

I don't know how many arrows I broke with a normal bow, and I don't know how many arrows I shot. Xiang Zixi wanted to tell him several times that he really didn't need him to work so hard, and he actually had the ability to protect himself. But Xin Zeyang was like a tendon that got into Niujiao Hutong, and he couldn't pull it out alive or dead.

Over time, Xiang Zixi didn't care about him and let him toss.

Unexpectedly, over the past few days, Xin Zeyang's archery skills have magically improved a lot.

At one time, the three of them were bored and watched Xin Zeyang in the yard practicing arrows against the scorching heat, and the little fat and idle egg pain made Xin Zeyang shoot the sparrows to play, but I didn't expect Xin Zeyang to really shoot down! This move surprised the three women!

Among the four people, Xin Zeyang is a boy, so it is not wrong to practice more self-defense skills. So it's no surprise to everyone.

As soon as Xin Zeyang stepped into the living room, Xiang Zixi lay listlessly on the table and said, "Hurry up and eat something, I'm going to enjoy the chrysanthemums in a while!" Little Fat Little Fat Fat got up noisily before dawn to prepare, I really obeyed them! People are sleepy to death, and the morning is the time for me to catch up on sleep, okay? ”

Xin Zeyang smiled warmly: "Who told you to sleep so late all day?" ”

"What can I do? It's all a habit! Xiang Zixi listlessly propped her chin with her hand and said, "I used to be mentally in the middle of the night for many years, and I was sleepy in the early morning!" I didn't expect this problem to be changed until now! ”

"Would you like to go to sleep a little longer?" Xin Zeyang looked at Xiang Zixi with concern, this woman is really sleepy, and she doesn't even have an appetite for breakfast.

"No, I guess I was dragged up by the two fat girls when I lay down!" Xiang Zixi waved his hand weakly: "Since the two of them are so interested, let's go out with them!" ”

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes!" Xin Zeyang put down his bow and arrows, turned around and went back to his room.

The house rented from Xiang Zixi is a simple small courtyard, with three main houses, one in the east wing and one in the west wing. Xiang Zixi and Xin Zeyang live in the north room, one room in the middle is used as the living room, Xiao Fei and Xiao Chubby live in the west wing, and the east wing is used as a kitchen.

The yard is small and almost negligible. It belongs to the kind of simple house that cannot be simpler.

At this time, Ma Xiucai's voice sounded outside: "Is Miss Xiang at home?" ”

Xiang Zixi beat the spirit: "I'm at home!" Come in! ”

Ma Xiucai walked in from the outside happily, and today Ma Xiucai changed into a linen-colored robe, reflecting his thin body even weaker. Xiang Zixi said in his heart, how weak do you have to be to lose weight like this? Among the men I know, all of them have perfect figures, and the most punctual figure is Ji Yan, who has strong muscles, natural and healthy complexion, that feel, tsk, that is the perfect body in the minds of real women!

"Now that the people outside are leaving, let's go out too!" Ma Xiucai said happily: "The weather is good today, and you can go around outside." ”

Little Fat Fat Little Fat Fat walked out of the kitchen, came to the living room, saw Ma Xiucai and said, "Yo! Ma Xiucai, today's report is early enough! Where are you going to take our young lady today! ”

"It's nonsense! Do you talk to your neighbors like that? Xiang Zixi listlessly stretched out his finger and tapped his two maids: "Aren't you noisy eating out at noon?" Ready to go? ”

The little chubby raised the burden in his hand and said, "It's all ready!" Go out for some chrysanthemum wine in a while, and we're ready to go! ”

At this time, Xin Zeyang also came over from the room to change his clothes, and saw that Zi Xi really had no appetite to eat, and immediately said, "Let's go, go out and eat!" I saw a good pastry the other day, and many ladies and ladies in the neighborhood like to go there to buy it! ”

Hearing that there was something delicious, Xiang Zixi finally got a little interested, got up lazily and came to the yard, looking at Ma Xiucai with the sun on his back and looking at himself shyly: "Let's go, let's go together!" ”

After speaking, Xiang Zixi took the lead and walked out.

locked the door and went straight to the pastry shop that Xin Zeyang said. As soon as he entered the door, Xiang Zixi was attracted by a burst of fragrance, and pointed to a few pastries that had just been baked and said to the boss with great interest: "Wrap me a few pieces!" ”

The boss diligently wrapped the pastry, put it in Xiang Zixi's hand, took a few pennies from the little chubby hand, and said with a sigh: "Alas, the current days are really not mixed!" Just like that, there isn't much left of the East and West buttons! ”

Xiang Zixi's heart moved: "Boss, your business is very good!" Why do you still say that? ”

The boss pointed to the pastries that had just been baked and ready to be sold on the board, and said, "Look, bake a furnace in half an hour, remove the cost, wages, and shop money, and there is only ten pennies left." No, the tax was raised a few days ago, but the price couldn't be raised, and the business was not easy to do! ”

Xiang Zixi frowned slightly: "What? You say taxes are going up again? ”

"Yes! In fact, taxes have risen a lot! Compared with three years ago, it has risen by almost three percent! It is said that it will rise in a few days! I really don't know how to live this day! The boss shook his head and sighed and said, "I don't know if this store can be opened by then!" So some of them are eating now, and a few of them can eat hard, maybe this store won't be able to open in a few days! ”

Xiang Zixi frowned, and said to himself: "What does Lin Muyang want to do!" The treasury is full enough, but he still has to increase taxes, is it said that he is no longer willing to succumb to the south and win the north? ”

Ma Xiucai didn't hear Xiang Zixi's words clearly, and asked blankly: "What won the north?" ”

"Ah, nothing!" Xiang Zixi changed the topic and said to Xin Zeyang: "The taste is really good, let's buy more and keep it for the road to eat!" ”

Xin Zeyang nodded, and meekly bought a few more packs according to Xiang Zixi's instructions, and Le's boss thanked him again and again.

Xiang Zixi was walking on the road while eating pastries, but her heart kept pondering repeatedly. Lin Muyang is a smart person, he should know how big the side effects of tax increases will be, is it that he has to rely on tax increases to maintain the operation of the treasury? What the hell is he up to?

Thinking of Xiahou Junhao and the current Jin Xiaoxiao, the former princess Ziqing, I guess that Lin Muyang also wants to split from the Zhuo Kingdom and seize power? It doesn't seem right, this Zhuoguo is nominally the emperor's, but in fact it is his Lin Muyang's! He didn't say what was anything? I also heard from the people that Lin Muyang seems to have the secret decree of the previous emperor in his hands, and the role of the secret decree is to restrain the current emperor. It can be seen that the emperor of the Burning Kingdom liked Lin Muyang a little!

So, could it be said that it is for Jin Haoxuan of the Dark Country? Also, after all, they are compatriots of the same mother, and helping their own brother seems to be in the past. But the current economy of the Dark Country is not so difficult! When I wrote a letter to send it to the Dark Country's family, I didn't hear that the Dark Country was short of money!

So excluding these two factors, then is it for Yaoguo?

Yaoguo has just experienced a change now, although after his own efforts to mediate, there have not been too many casualties. However, the reorganization of the armed forces is indeed a very troublesome and troublesome matter, but the key point is that the reorganization of the armed forces does not mean the loss of combat effectiveness, and the front line can be transferred at any time as long as necessary.

The amount of grain lost by the Right Route Army was nothing, and it could be replenished at any time.

Could it be that Lin Muyang's goal is actually a country thousands of miles away? That seems even more unlikely, right? This is not modern times, the United States can cross thousands of miles to fight Gaddafi, in ancient times, that is absolutely impossible to do.

So, what is Lin Muyang's move for?

Seeing that Xiang Zixi had been thinking about her thoughts, Ma Xiu opened her mouth a few times, but swallowed it again.

The little chubby on the side said to him with a smile: "Ma Xiucai, what do you want to say?" Seeing that you want to stop talking, it won't be that there is something delicious to send to Miss, right? ”

was teased by Chubby like this, Ma Xiucai's face turned red all of a sudden.

Xin Zeyang turned around and gave a chubby look, bullying honest people!

"Boss, bring us some flowers!" Xiao Feifei smiled and took out the money and bought a few chrysanthemums, one for each person: "Boss, why has the price of this flower risen so much?" In the past, it was only two pennies a piece! ”

The boss sighed and said, "It's not like that, everything has been going crazy lately!" And it's not just us here, it's like it's everywhere else! ”

Xiang Zixi's attention was suddenly pulled over.

The boss said proudly: "My son is doing things under His Royal Highness the Master of Zhuoguo, and when I went to the store in the country and there to deliver the account books a few days ago, I heard that the tax burden on the country has increased!" It seems that the tax burden of the four countries is going to rise! ”

Xiang Zixi's eyes widened suddenly!

The country has actually raised its taxes? Not good! Something big is coming!

Xiang Zixi's face changed completely! Most of the others are small people in the market, and they only see the immediate benefits of these things when they pay taxes, but they are far from seeing the political mystery behind the taxes!

Lin Muyang noticed the strangeness of the country and made an emergency response!
