Chapter 874: His face is full of hypocrisy

"Sister! My brother was wrong. ”

Xiao Qingqing grabbed his ears and said angrily: "The next time you dare to sneak into my yard, you will screw off your ears and feed Xiong Da." ”

With that, she let go of her hand.

Careful Ann covered her reddened ear aggrievedly.

Zhang Yang stared at his son's expression, he was obviously duplicitous.

After all, this matter can't be hidden from Li Yue, after all, it is their own children, and they can know what the children ate at the last meal.

It was a festive day to welcome Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two children did not have to eat wine and brewed balls, so they could only sit in the house and be punished for writing.

Xiao Qingqing made a bitter face, sat cross-legged and supported the side face with one hand, not looking at this younger brother.

Careful An said: "Sister, how old are you after Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

"Seven years old."

She said with a straight face, and said weakly.

"Well, my brother is five years old. ”

Xiao Qingqing glared at him, and then lowered his head and stopped talking, writing aggrievedly.

During the night, the snoring of several bears could be heard in the bear den.

Li Li looked at this scene with a smile, the imperial sister has been dissatisfied with many things at home recently, just like her brother-in-law is specializing in a potion, and the strange smell in the laboratory will float out.

Therefore, the royal sister often counts her brother-in-law.

Xiaohui was dressed in a white man's clothes, and she smiled: "It seems that the teacher is going to talk about the master again tonight." ”

Li Lizhi nodded in agreement.

Xiao Wu came riding a three-hippo, and she let go of a burden.

Xiaohui was surprised when she saw this: "Aren't you going home today?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Wu turned over and dismounted competently, she always liked to tie her hair up and tie it high.

Seeing Xiao Wu enter his room silently, Li Lizhi frowned and said, "Sure enough, it's because of her two brothers." ”

Xiao Hui bowed her head and said, "Well, it's time to get rid of those two brothers." ”

The two of them made up their minds and saw the master come out of the laboratory with a small glass bottle in his hand.

"Huh? Master seems to have succeeded. ”

Li Lizhi and Xiaohui also followed suit, and saw that the master was holding a small bottle in his hand, and there was some pale green water in the bottle.

Zhang Yang placed the bottle on the table.

Li Yue frowned and said, "What is this?" ”

"Wind oil essence, I used menthol, eucalyptus leaves, cloves, and to make it milder, I also added honeysuckle."

Zhang Yang opened the bottle cap, and the aroma of mint came out, "I thought it should be green at first, but I didn't expect it to be a turbid gray, mostly a filtration problem." ”

With that, pour out some and rub it under my son's nose.

Careful An didn't react at first, but after a while, her eyes suddenly widened, wiped her nose, and ran quickly to the edge of the pool, washing her face with water.

Li Yue asked curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yang also wiped some on himself, frowned, and said, "It seems to be too strong." ”

Just when Xiao Qingqing was also curious about the wind oil essence, the aunt had already come with a pot of wine-stuffed balls.

In the end, this wind oil essence still left Xiao Qingqing's sight and was taken into his father's arms.

By the time Ann returned, she felt much better.

Even if this year is bad and there are many worries in life, when it comes to eating, the family can sit together and be content.

After the fireworks passed, silence returned to the night.

Until the morning sun shone on the Qinchuan River, which was eight hundred miles away.

Zhang Yang was the first one in the family to wake up, the bed was comfortable, and the daughter-in-law was also very warm.

But the troubles in life still have to be faced, and after putting on clothes, stretching my muscles and bones by the Huaqing Pool.

The two aunts also got up early to clean up the house, and fireworks were set off last night, and there were a lot of exploded bamboo tubes in Huaqing Pond.

Also, the bowl that I ate last night was still in a basin of water and not cleaned.

Aunt Yang walked quickly, "County Marquis, then the prince is standing on the mountainside." ”

"Well, I'll take a look."

Aunt Wang said again: "These things at home, the old man will clean them up." ”

Zhang Yang put away his mind and walked down the mountain, in fact, the prince has been recuperating since he came to Lishan, and he has not participated in the formal production.

It takes a while for people to get used to a different environment.

I hope that the prince can exert his ability in the palace in Lishan, but it also takes time to get used to Lishan's style of doing things.

An inner eunuch who was able to stay by the emperor's side for so long secretly did many unsightly things for the emperor, and also made many arrangements for the emperor on the surface.

It's just that when a person reaches his old age, if he just wants to retire quietly in Lishan, it's fine.

Zhang Yang walked to the mountainside and saw the prince standing here.

"I didn't think this mountain was too high before, but now the old slave can't climb it." He whispered.

"Well, in fact, as long as you leave a letter in the mailbox at the foot of Lishan, I will read it every day, and the big and small matters in the village are also transmitted through this mailbox."

Zhang Yang said as he helped the prince to the bottom of the mountain.

He glanced at the huge mailbox and saw that Zhang Yang opened the lid of the mailbox and took out a bag from it, and there were a lot of papers in this cloth bag, which were stacked on top of each other and strung together with thin hemp rope.

Wang Gonggong nodded and said: "It turns out that the owner of Lishan does not go down the mountain, and he can still make Lishan's production orderly, which is a wonderful use here." ”

"It's just a little whimsy, not very clever."

"Recently, the palace sent someone to send a lot of iron materials, Cen Wenwen was already waiting outside the village, and the old slave thought about coming to inform the county marquis."

Zhang Yang glanced to the east and walked with the prince to the east of the village.

Walking through the village path, many villagers' doors are still closed, and a few families are early risers.

"The King of the River."

Li Xiaogong, who was getting up early and vomiting in front of his house, opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter with your kid?" ”

"Trouble the king of Hejian to go to the village entrance to the west and move some goods."

Li Xiaogong shivered in the cold wind for a while, and then followed the footsteps.

When the shouts in the village sounded, several men followed, Xu Guogong Wushi Tong went to Chang'an City last night, and he will not be in the village for these two days.

Some things were handed over to Li Xiaogong to arrange.

It was the Chinese New Year, and the day before yesterday, the village had just completed this year's production task.

Cen Wenwen stood at the entrance of the village, and when he saw the visitor, he smiled and said, "The county marquis hasn't seen you for a long time?" ”

Zhang Yang also saluted: "I haven't seen you for three months." ”

Cen Wenwen regained his steadiness and sighed, "These are all iron materials sent by His Majesty, saying that Lishan promised to cast artillery, so he asked the lower officials to arrange someone to send it." ”

He saw the person behind him, and said, "I've seen the King of Hejian County." ”

Li Xiaogong beckoned the villagers behind him to carry the iron materials, and the carts were pushed out from behind.

"It's going to take a few more trips."

Zhang Yang looked at the iron material in the car and frowned.

Cen Wenwen stood aside and made way for the villagers here, "Yesterday, Fang Xiang and they read the recital handed over by Pei Xingjian, Fang Xiang was quite praised, His Majesty has approved the implementation of the counties, but this implementation has fallen on Pei Xingjian." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't answer, he said again: "Pei Xingjian is also a disciple of Lishan, will the county marquis sit idly by?" ”

"It's not easy to do."

"Sure enough, even you think so." Cen Wenwen worried: "Lishan can allow the counties in Guanzhong to participate in production, but for the counties, it is not easy to taste the sweetness, and the counties will not pay taxes easily, so how to deal with it?" ”

Zhang Yang said wistfully: "I haven't had breakfast yet." ”

Cen Wenwen approached and stood beside the county marquis, "Xia Guan didn't eat either." ”

"Brother Wen, you weren't like this before."

"Xiaguan was busy in Zhongshu Province until dawn last night, and he was about to send iron materials to Lishan just after a short rest, isn't Lishan still willing to give a meal?"

Zhang Yang looked at him and whispered: "Why do I sound like I deliberately kept my stomach to come to Lishan to eat, and then go back to sleep well, so that I can be satisfied?" ”

"Oops." Cen Wenwen sighed: "I was seen through by the county marquis." ”

"Brother Wen, there is no need to be so hypocritical between you and me."

"That's what the county marquis said."

Zhang Yang took him into the village, where the village has been resting recently, and the village is very quiet.

Coming to a stone table, Li Xiaogong asked people to bring food, hot meat buns and wheat cakes, and a bowl of mutton soup.

Zhang Yang sat without moving his chopsticks, his eyes looking at Cen Wenwen who was gobbling up.

Li Xiaogong sighed with emotion: "How busy has the palace been lately, you can't even eat a meal?" ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Cen Wenwen was still talking with a bun stuffed in his mouth, and he didn't know what he said.

Zhang Yang only cared about such mutton soup and didn't pay attention to him.

"Whew......" Cen Wenwen let out a sigh of relief and leaned back comfortably in his chair, "Well, it's better to have meat dishes from Lishan." ”

"That's right." Cen Wenwen just got up to leave, turned around and said, "Xia Guan feels that Pei Xingjian's tax policy is still lacking. ”

Zhang Yang put down the dishes and chopsticks and said in a low voice, "Really? ”

Cen Wenwen frowned again and thought about it, "Just my stomach is empty, my thoughts are empty, now that I am full, my thoughts are clear, um!" Xia Guan always felt that the strategy was incomplete, and he didn't know if the county marquis had a high opinion? ”

"Brother Wen, are you sure that the strategy is from your own hands?"

Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "The strategy was written by Pei Xingjian, and it must have been instructed by Lishan. ”

Zhang Yang looked at him with a dissatisfied expression, "Brother Wen, with you in this Tang Sheji, it is better to resign as soon as possible." ”

"Why did the county marquis say this?" Cen Wenwen smiled again: "What is the difference between the county marquis and the resignation now? ”

Li Xiaogong ate a cake, which was his favorite leek meat filling, and his eyes wandered between Cen Wenwen and Zhang Yang.

Among the younger generation of the DPRK and China, these two are considered the best, but they don't understand what they are saying.

For Cen Wenwen, he had long expected that this strategy would come from Lishan, and he could also expect that the Hou of Lishan County would be able to think of this when he saw through it.

And the strategy given is lacking, and Lishan will not easily complete this strategy, and wants to make an offer.

Zhang Yang also knew that with the eyes of those old foxes in the court, he could also see it, and everyone didn't say anything.

"Brother Wen, I hope that the DPRK can give Lishan some more convenience."

Cen Wenwen smiled all over his face, "County Marquis, please speak, the convenience that should be given will definitely be given by the court." ”

At this time, Careful Ann came riding Xiong Er, and he was holding a book, "Daddy, mother asked the child to send this." ”

Zhang Yang took the scroll and opened it to look at it, and said, "What about your sister?" ”

"Sister and Aunt Lizhen went hunting."

"Well, why don't you go?"

Careful Ann lowered her head aggrievedly, full of bitterness but unable to speak.

This kid was treated to death by his sister, Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "This is Uncle Wen, you have seen him." ”

"Boy Zhang Xin'an, I've seen Uncle Wen."

Cen Wenwen smiled and nodded, "It's a good boy." ”

"Daddy, I want to go to Uncle Wei."

"Go ahead."

When the child rode away on the bear, Zhang Yang said again: "Don't look at our family's wealth, in fact, life is simple, if the court adds more taxes to Lishan, this life will not be able to go on." ”

Cen Wenwen put his hands behind his back, coughed his throat and said, "You Lishan are rich and rival the country." ”

Zhang Yang said distressedly: "They all say that we are rich in Lishan, and even Brother Wen thinks so, but I haven't thought about it, how much does Lishan cost now?" If the DPRK and China make matters worse, I am afraid that this life will not be able to live. ”

"The difficulties of the county marquis and the lower officials understand that in fact, for so many years, the annual tax of Lishan can withstand the tax of the local state capital for a year, and this alone can be convenient for the DPRK and the central government, and it will not add taxes to Lishan."

"Talking counts?"

"That's nature."

Zhang Yang came to the spirit again, "In the coastal areas of Jiangnan East Road, I want a piece of land. ”

Cen Wenwen pondered for a moment and said, "The lower officials will give advice to Your Majesty." ”

Many people in Guanzhong have never seen the sea, and Li Xiaogong was fortunate to go to the beach once in the south of Pingding.

The thought in his heart flashed, and he still ate silently.

A book was placed in front of Cen Wenwen, and Zhang Yang explained: "This is the missing part. ”

"It turns out that the county marquis has been prepared for a long time."

"I knew you would be here to ask."

Cen Wenwen took the scroll and shook his head: "It feels really uncomfortable to be calculated. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Why is the DPRK not calculating me." ”

"After all, it's a bad move, and the next official will be more careful." Cen Wenwen put the scroll into a cloth bag, and did not open it immediately, with a look of loss, he said: "The lower official has gone back, and the county marquis will not send it." ”

"Brother Wen, there is something to give below."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang took out a small glass bottle.

As soon as he saw that it was a glass bottle, he knew that it was a valuable object, and Cen Wenwen retreated again and again, "Lishan is really rich and rivals the country, so the glass bottle will be sent when it is said." ”

Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly.

Cen Wenwen saw that the face of the county marquis was full of hypocrisy.

"Brother Wen, what I will give you is the liquid medicine in the bottle, and when you are sleepy, you can apply some under your nose or behind your ears, which has the effect of refreshing your mind."

The letter was suspiciously picked up the glass bottle, and Cen Wenwen put it in his arms, "According to the agreement, the official will return the glass bottle to Lishan after using up the medicine." ”

"Don't forget, give advice to the DPRK."

"The lower officials will do it."

Cen Wenwen left, his steps were fast, and he didn't want to stay in Lishan at all.

Zhang Yang asked, "King Hejian County, is it Lishan that makes Brother Wen uncomfortable, or is it that he is not treating guests well?" ”

Li Xiaogong finally had his fill, and said with a full burp: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "This Brother Wen has a black face, as if Lishan owes him money." ”

Not long after Cen Wenwen left, the guards hurriedly came, "County Marquis, Gong Zheng is here." ”
