Chapter 453 Embrace

Lu Wei couldn't make a move. Although the Lu family was a little disappointed, they didn't feel surprised. If the meritorious reputation is so easy to take the exam, there won't be a single son in the second room, and there won't be many old scholars in the world who have studied hard all their lives but haven't been able to get anything. Lu Jianxin and Lu Jianzhong specially went to comfort Lu Jian for this reason. Lu Jian couldn't figure it out and said bluntly, "As expected, Lu Jin started a little late, and he didn't have the talent of Erlang, let alone the hard work of Erlang. The days are still long. Don't worry."

Tu Shi was very disappointed. She was hoping that Lu Jin would win this time, so that she could also raise her eyebrows and exhale. But with such news, she can't do it without being depressed. Hearing that Lin Jinrong transferred the tea shop to the Lv family, there was a big pimple in her heart. However, although Lin Jinrong brought people to take care of her from time to time to time, she never talked to her, let alone give her a chance. Even if she wanted to express her dissatisfaction, she just quietly complained a few times.

Lin Yuzhen, based on the principle that she is having a good time and others should not think about it, by raising money for Lu Jianxin to run the official, she is determined to toss around Aunt He, A Rou, Xiao Xing and so on. Aunt He was virtuous. Before she could do it, she took the initiative to send the more valuable jewelry and clothing, and she didn't look any grievance. She didn't show off at all. Instead, it was A Rou and Xiaoxing, who were forced to smile day by day. Aunt He favored Lu Jianxin, but made Lin Yuzhen more and more suspicious that she was so indifferent because of her rich family background. The so-called taking it all out was an illusion, and there must be more money hidden, so she did not mention the hidden resentment of Lu Jianxin in her heart.

At this time, Lin Jinrong put all his attention on the tax that suddenly increased weight. The three families of Lu, Lin and Wu are official households. Naturally, there is no direct impact, but the lower tenants and ordinary families can't survive. Because of this tenant, he has no land, no tools and no cattle. He not only has to pay half of the rent to the landlord, but also has to pay taxes according to the head. There are also many merchants who have nothing to rely on, and they are forced to suffer unspeakably.

Han Gen stood under the curtain and reported the situation to Lin Jinrong in a heavy tone: "The tax is too heavy, and some tenants are ready to flee to other places to plough next year. Originally, in addition to the normal tax, for each stone of grain paid, another two liters of grain had to be paid for the sparrow consumption, and another bucket would be added in addition to the consumption.

In addition, there is a righteous warehouse tax, and Dingkou's fugitives are added to other families who have not escaped. One stone Zhengmiao must be accepted by three stones, which far exceeds the prescribed amount. If there is another corvée, it's simply shocking.

Lin Jinrong sighed heavily. However, Han Gen continued: "That's not enough. This autumn's tax will not be collected in Pingzhou. It will be moved to Taiming Mansion and then shipped from Taiming Mansion to the north. But you don't want things to be converted into other money. The price of rice is only 50 yuan per bucket, which is converted into 100 yuan, plus the warehouse consumption of 20 yuan. If you don't want to send it to Taiming Mansion by yourself, you will add 20 yuan. In this way, it has become nearly three times as much as much as the original thing Come down? Ma Zhuangtou's voice was broken, but he still couldn't keep people. Every time he woke up, he emptied a few more family members. Grandma has to come up with a charter as soon as possible, otherwise this large area of land will only be abandoned next year.

"This constitution is not easy to hold. With the general trend, I have no way alone, and I am powerless. Lin Jinrong smiled bitterly. Who can take care of this next spring? At that time, she didn't understand why it was chaotic, why it changed from dozens of soldiers to what it was later, and why after those people rushed into the city, they were as fierce as wolves when they saw rich people, and they didn't blink their eyes when they cut the knife on people. Now she understand.

They can't live. Why do they work hard to farm, but they are displaced, and they can't even eat enough to feed their children? Unfortunately, she only knew it. After years of hard work, she thought she had understood a lot of things, but now she found that there were too many things she didn't know, and the world was far more harsh and horrible than she thought. Compared with these, the things she did were just a faint drop of water in a dry land, which could not change anything.

After sending Han Gen away, Lin Jinrong immediately got up and went to find Lu Jianxin. She told these things to Lu Jianxin with emotion and excitement, and Lu Jianxin just replied to her indifferently, "I know."

Lin Jinrong couldn't help but be silent. The world is as black as a crow. Lu Jianxin has been an official and managed one side. It is self-evident how his money came from. How could he not know? I don't know. What will be amazing and scary after hearing it is just her, the woman who has been hiding in her boudoir.

Lu Jianxin saw that Lin Jinrong was silent and obviously had other thoughts, so he knocked hard on the cases in front of him: "You don't want to reduce the rent again, do you?" Before Lin Jinrong could answer, he warned her harshly: "Erlang's daughter-in-law! Be careful! You have so much money that you have no place to put it? No one's life is better. If you take the lead in doing this again, you will force other people to hate you, hate Erlang, hate me, and hate the Lu family! If you make your own decisions again, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Seeing that he scolded Lin Jinrong fiercely, Yi Lang was so scared that he immediately cried. He came forward and hugged Lin Jinrong's thigh tightly, and just shouted one after another, "Mom! Mother!" After shouting, he cried loudly: "Dad! Dad!" !

"What are you doing? It scares the child! What can't you say well?" Lin Yuzhen was busy playing around: "When did Arong say that he wanted to reduce the rent? It was waived from rent last year. Now it's time for the family to spend money. If the land is abandoned again next year, what can I use for it? Right, Rong?"

Lin Jinrong picked up Yilang and coaxed him softly, unwilling to say one more word to Lu Jianxin. As the saying goes, different paths do not seek each other. It's better not to say more than to say it in vain. If all the tenants run out and the land is abandoned, what else can the rich have left? There is nothing left. She knew that objectively speaking, rent reduction was easy to cause public anger, and she knew that her rent reduction would not have any effect, but she just didn't want to see Lu Jianxin's face.

Seeing that she was stubborn and speechless, Lu Jianxin sneered and said, "If you pass on my words, your second grandmother is not allowed to go out these days, let alone pass on any words of rent. You can't miss a grain of grain!"

That's it. Lin Jinrong walked out with Yilang in his arms in silence.

It's late autumn, and the weather is already dark, but it gets dark at the right time. The sun has long slid down the horizon, and there are only a few rays of light left in the sky, which makes the dark place darker. Lu Yan gently lifted the curtain and went into the room to have a look, but when he saw that the room was dark, the light was not lit, and the voice could not be heard at all. He couldn't help frowning and looking at the cherry standing under the curtain.

Cherry quickly said, "Grandma was like this after she came back from his wife's room. The fourth young master cried tired earlier and fell asleep when he returned to the room. Grandma was afraid of bothering him, so she didn't pass the rice and didn't light the lamp. I don't know if the second master will come back today, just as if he will be home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Lu Yan waved her hand to let her go down and entered the house. The room was dark, and only the lanterns in the hallway shot a little light through the window paper. The air carried a sweet fragrance from the woman and the faint milk fragrance from the child, which was warm and fragrant. Lu Yan carefully touched the inner room according to his memory and stood in front of the bed.

He heard the subtle familiar breathing from the tent, and couldn't help lifting the tent gently and reaching out to reach in. The hand first touched the cold green silk, and then touched a warm face, "Arong..." Lu Yan approached, pressed his cold face tightly to that face, and whispered, "You have been wronged."

Lin Jinrong's arms quickly wrapped around his neck, hugged his neck and cried silently, and tears quickly soaked his collar. Lu Yan was a little at a loss. He could only hug her tightly, pat her on the back like a child, and whispered, "Don't cry, I'm back."

Lin Jinrong leaned against his chest and choked, "Erlang, it will be chaotic! It must be chaotic!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lu Yanshi has heard Fangzhu, Chunya and Han Gen say what happened these days. In addition to what he saw and heard on the road, he naturally knew it. For Lin Jinrong's worries, he was not completely worried, but he refused to talk to Lin Jinrong again. He increased her worries and only smiled and said, "Get up and wash your face and eat first. Let's talk slowly. Look, Yilang has woken up for you. Don't scare him."

Lin Jinrong looked back. Guo saw Yilang sitting beside her side and looking up at his wife. His expression could not be seen clearly in the dark, and he could only see a pair of small eyes shining slightly. Lin Jinrong couldn't help blushing with shame, and cursed in a low voice, "This bad guy, you won't squeak when you wake up."

Lu Yan smiled softly, reached out to pick up Yilang, and whispered, "He is already good enough." Yilang's little soft body clung to him, held his hand firmly around his neck, and gently shouted, "Dad, you're back."

Lu Yan's heart suddenly turned into a pool of spring water, put his lips on the top of Yilang's head for a moment, and whispered, "Yes, Dad is back. Isn't Yilang obedient?" After saying it, I found that every time I saw Yilang for a short time, I asked the same sentence.

Yilang didn't answer, just cling to him, and then reached out to pull Lin Jinrong, pretending to be greedy and pulling his parents not to let go.

Lin Jinrong's heart was sore, and his brain was hot. He whispered to Lu Yan's ear, "Why don't we try to send Yi Lang away first?" I'm afraid that I can't bear to let my Yilang suffer. Originally, she thought she 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's body was stiff and speechless for a long time.

Lin Jinrong was so disappointed that he slowly slid down from him and gently lay back **, determined not to count on him anymore. However, he heard Lu Yan whisper, "This matter should be discussed from a long-term perspective. Let's eat first, and I'll tell you in detail."
