Chapter 453: embrace

Lu Shan couldn't do it. Although everyone in the Lu family was disappointed, they didn't feel surprised. If the fame test is so good, the second room would not have been mixed up by a child, and there would not be many old scholars who studied hard for a lifetime but did not get anything. Lu Jianxin and Lu Jianzhong deliberately comforted Lu Jianzhong for this. Lu Jianli was also thinking about it and said bluntly: "As expected, Lu Shan started a little later, and he is not as talented as Erlang, let alone as hardworking as Erlang. It's a long stool, don't worry."
Tu Shi was very disappointed. She had originally hoped that Lu Shan would be able to do this so that she would also raise her eyebrows, but after receiving such news, she wouldn't be depressed. When I heard that Lin Jinrong had transferred the tea restaurant to the Lu family, his heart was even more embarrassed, but although Lin Jinrong led someone to take care of him every three and five meetings, he never talked to her, let alone gave her a chance. Even if she wanted to express her dissatisfaction, she was just making a few quiet complaints about Shoulujian.
Lin Yuzhen, in line with the principle of having a hard time for herself, and others don’t want to make a living, determined to get rid of Aunt He, Arou, Xiaoxing and others by raising money for Lu Jianxin. Aunt He was so virtuous. Before she could do anything, she took the initiative to send the precious jewellery materials over, and she didn't see the slightest aggrieved appearance. She didn't make any publicity. Instead, it was A Rou and Xiaoxing who laughed every day. Aunt He asked Lu Jianxin's favor, but Lin Yuzhen became more and more suspicious that she was so indifferent because she had a rich family background. The so-called all-out is an illusion, and there must be more money hidden in her heart. Therefore, she has hidden resentment towards Lu Jianxin.
Lin Jinrong put all his thoughts on the taxation of sudden weight gain. The three families of Lu, Lin, and Wu are official households, and naturally they have little direct influence, but the tenant households and ordinary households below cannot survive. Because this tenant has no land, tools, and cattle, not only does he have to pay half of the rent to the landlord, but he also pays taxes according to his head. What's more, many merchants who have nothing to rely on are forced to suffer.
Han Gen stood under the curtain and reported the situation outside with Lin Jinrong in a heavy tone: "The tax is too heavy, and some tenants are already preparing to flee to other places for spring ploughing next year. There will be no one to use. In addition to the normal taxes, every stone is paid. You have to pay two more to be promoted to rat bird consumption, and you have to add another bucket in addition to the consumption.
Then there is the righteous warehouse tax, and Dingkoufu will add those who have escaped to other people who have not escaped. One stone must be paid with three stones, which far exceeds the prescribed amount. There is no more escort, it is simply stunned. "
Lin Jinrong sighed heavily. But Han Gen continued to say: "That’s not to be counted. The tax for this fall will not be collected in Pingzhou. It will be transferred to Taiming Mansion, and then transported to the north from Taiming Mansion. But you don’t want things to be turned into For other money and objects, the price of rice is only fifty wen per bucket, which is converted into one hundred wen, plus twenty wen for the warehouse consumption. If you refuse to send it to Taiming Mansion yourself, you will add another twenty wen. , It became one hundred and forty wen, which is nearly three times the original, and five years of taxes are levied a year. Who would dare to stay? Ma Zhuangtou was already crying out of his voice or could not keep anyone. Every time she wakes up, she empties a few family members. Grandma has to come up with a charter as soon as possible, otherwise this large area of ​​land will only be left uncultivated next year."
"This charter is not easy to take. The general trend is that I can't do anything alone, and I am powerless." Lin Jinrong smiled bitterly. Who can manage this next spring? At that time, she didn’t understand why the chaos happened, why the mutiny of dozens of soldiers evolved into what happened later, why after those people rushed into the city, they saw the wealthy and wealthy people as fierce as wolves. I would blink for a while and I understand now.
People can't live anymore, so why are they struggling to work the land, but when they are facing a displacement, they can't even eat enough to feed their children? It's a pity that she only knew what she knew. After all these years of hard work, she thought she knew a lot of things and only now found out that there are too many things she didn't know, and the world was far more harsh and terrifying than she had imagined. Compared with these things, what she has done is nothing more than a weak drop of water in a dry land, which can change nothing.
After Han Gen was sent away, Lin Jinrong immediately got up and went to look for Lu Jianxin. She was depressed and excitedly told Lu Jianxin about these things, and Lu Jianxin just replied indifferently: "I know."
Lin Jinrong couldn't help being silent. The crows in the world are generally dark. Lu Jianxin is a person who has been an official and has managed one party. It is self-evident how his money came from, how could he not know? I don't know, but the woman who has been hiding in a deep boudoir is only the woman who will feel astonishing and scary after hearing it.
Seeing Lin Jinrong's silence, Lu Jianxin was obviously thinking otherwise, so he struck the several cases before him: "You don't want to reduce or exempt renters again?" Lin Jinrong didn't answer, so he warned her sternly: " Erlang daughter-in-law! Be careful! You have so much money that you have nowhere to put it? Life is better without anyone else. If you take the lead in doing this, you are trying to force others to hate you, hate Erlang, hate me, and hate the Lu family! Don’t blame me for being ruthless!
Seeing him reprimanding Lin Jinrong sternly, Yi Lang was so frightened that he immediately began to cry, stepped forward and hugged Lin Jinrong's thigh tightly, just shouting: "Mother! Mother!" After shouting, he cried loudly: "Daddy! Daddy!"
"What are you doing? I scared the child! What can't you say well?" Lin Yuzhen hurriedly said to the sidelines: "When did A Rong say a rent reduction? Last year, the rent was exempted, and now the family is about to spend money. , If the land is left unused next year, what can be used for food? Right, Arong?"
Lin Jinrong hugged Yi Lang and coaxed softly, unwilling to say a word with Lu Jianxin. The so-called Dao is different and does not seek each other, it is no use to say how much, it is better not to say. If all the tenants ran out and the land was abandoned, what would the rich have left? There is nothing left. She knows that, objectively speaking, rent reduction or exemption is easy to offend the public, and she also knows that the exemption will not make any difference, but she just doesn't want to see Lu Jianxin's face.
Seeing her stubbornly silent, Lu Jianxin sneered: "Keep on telling my words. These days, the mistress is not allowed to go out, let alone telling about renting, and the rent that should be collected cannot be less than a grain of grain!"
So be it. Lin Jinrong hugged Yi Lang and walked out in silence.
It was late autumn, and the weather was already dark early, but the sky was dark at the hour of unity. The sun had already slipped down the horizon, and there was only a few gleams of light left on the horizon, which made the darkness even darker. Lu Yan opened the curtain lightly and probed into the room to take a look, but saw that the room was dark and faint, the lights hadn't been turned on, and the voices could not be heard at all, so he frowned and looked at the cherry standing under the curtain.
Cherry hurriedly said: "It's just like this after grandma came back from his wife's house. The fourth young master was crying tired earlier, and fell asleep when she returned to the house. Grandma was afraid of quarreling him, so she didn't share food or light up the lights. If you come back today, you can only get home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Lu Yan waved her hand to let her go down, and entered the house. The room was dark and faint, only the lantern under the corridor shot a little light through the window paper, and the air was warm and fragrant with the sweet fragrance of women and the light milk of children. Lu Yan cautiously touched his memory into the back room and stood in front of the bed.
He heard the faint, familiar breathing sound from the tent, and couldn't help but lift the tent gently, reaching out to poke inside. The hand touched the cold green silk first, and then touched a gentle face, "A Rong..." Lu Yan leaned closer, pressing his somewhat cold face against that face, and whispered: "You are wronged."
Lin Jinrong's arms quickly wrapped around his neck, hugging his neck and crying silently, tears quickly soaking his collar. Lu Yan was a little at a loss, so he could only hug her tightly, pat her back lightly like a child, and whispered, "Don't cry, I'm back."
Lin Jinrong leaned against his chest, choked up and said, "Erlang, there will be chaos! It must be chaos!"
"Don't be afraid, I am here." Lu Jianshi has already listened to Fangzhu, Chunya, and Han Gen to talk about what happened these days, plus what he saw and heard on the road, he was naturally aware of it. Regarding Lin Jinrong’s worries, he was not completely free of worries, but he refused to tell Lin Jinrong to listen to her. He added her worries flatly, only with a smile: "Get up and wash your face and eat. Let’s say it slowly. Look, Yi Lang will give it all. You woke up. Don't scare him."
Lin Jinrong looked back, and saw Yi Lang sitting sideways on her side and looking up at him and his wife. He couldn't see his expression in the dark, only his small eyes were shining slightly. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but blushed, "chi", and cursed in a low voice: "This bad guy, I won't say anything when I wake up."
Lu Yan chuckled lightly, reached out to hug Yi Lang, and whispered: "He is good enough." Yi Lang's small soft body pressed tightly to his body, tightly hugging his neck. , Yelled softly: "Daddy, you are back."
Lu Yan suddenly turned into a stream of spring water in his heart, put his lips on Yilang's head and rubbed it for a moment, and whispered softly, "Yes, dad is back. Is Yilang behaved?" After that, he found out that every time he had a short interval. When I met Yi Lang, they all asked the same sentence.
Yi Lang didn't answer, just clinging to him, and then reached out to pull Lin Jinrong, putting on a greedy look, pulling his parents and not letting go.
Lin Jinrong was sour in her heart, her brain heated up, and he pressed Lu Jin’s ears and whispered softly: "Or, let's try to send Yi Lang away first. I'm afraid, I can't bear my Yi Lang to suffer." Originally thought he wanted to do it alone. But now because of a hug in the dark, she suddenly felt that Lu Yan might help her, so she brought countless hopes and desires.
Lu Yan stiffened and was speechless for a while.
Lin Jinrong was extremely disappointed, and slowly slipped off of him, and gently lay back on the bed, determined not to count on him anymore. But Lu Yan said softly: "This matter should be discussed in the long term. Eat first, and I will talk to you in detail."
Thank you all for your pink, continue to add more, continue to ask for pink.
