Chapter 087 Absolutely not

After seeing Caiyue being called away, Liu Laosan went directly to Cailian's side and took out two ingots and five taels of silver in his arms. He originally planned to give her only five taels of silver, and then he clearly knew that she was the maid in charge of managing the land rent, so he added an extra five taels of silver yuan. Liu Laosan's idea is to "be treated equally" to avoid picking lotus to give birth to the idea of being despised.

He gently put the two ingots on the table and smiled, "I don't respect you. It's all about buying incense powder for Sister Cailian."

Cailian glanced at the two silver ingots on her table and did not reach out to get them. She said, "Take them back quickly."

Liu Laosan suddenly didn't understand. He will not think about her on the incorruptible side, but believes that the other party feels less or inconvenient to accept it. In full view of the public, what I have sent is too faceless if I take it back again. When Liu Laosan sent Wang Qiang's silver, there was only a rough little maid, and he didn't care about the neighbors who came with him. If he is not treated by the people in Lin's mansion, it will not be conducive to him getting benefits from them. The more he can be treated by the stewirs of the Lin family, and the more he can speak, the higher his status in the neighbors and the more he can deter them.

Liu Laosan recalled that he faced the housekeeper of Lin's house, and he was indeed a little less measured. After all, the housekeeper of the magistrate's family must have looked down on the ten taels of silver he sent. In his opinion, Wang Qiang only needs to arrange a meeting between someone and Lin Zimo to collect a lot of money. Today, in the next day, there are many people who want to eat imperial food and wear official clothes, and some officials who want to go through the door and seek promotion are even more. As a righteous person, in addition to sitting firmly in this position, he still wants to make further progress.

Liu Laosan, who turned his mind quickly, noticed that Cailian had brought two little maids, so he smiled and said, "I know that Cailian is not rare, so I will make the decision and buy a snack for these two girls."

The principle of picking lotus is that as long as she doesn't reach out, and other things are not within her consideration. She noticed that her two little maids stared straight at the silver ingot, as if the black eye beads were shining. Cailian, who stood up, picked up the account book with his left hand and pretended to hold the brush in his right hand and walked away. She walked to an ox cart with her back to them, count the rent paid by the tenants and showed a kind of acquiescence.

The two little maids picked up a five-liang silver ingot and held it in the palm of their hands, and they were very happy. It's the first time they have got so much silver when they have grown so big. The two know that the masters will reward many good things to the people below from time to time. However, their status in the Lin Mansion is low, and it is not their turn at all. They can only be greedy for the rewards received by the three big maids, Ji Xiaojuan. In the hearts of their group of little maids, the biggest dream is to become a big maid around their master.

When Liu Laosan saw that they accepted it, he felt at ease. Although he spent 20 taels of silver, he believes that he will soon make up for it from other aspects. After all, farmers will always have miscellaneous things to ask themselves all year round. He knows that it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do what he wants. If you want to do something, you can't have empty mouth and white teeth, you have to "bleed", otherwise you have to wait slowly until the end of time.

......

At dinner, Yang Mengqi was facing his father-in-law and said bluntly, "Today is only the first fleet to send the field rent, and it must be sent one after another in the future. The government office doesn't have enough space to store so much refined rice, so the slave family has to bother to think about other ways.

Lin Zimo, who holds a rice bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, swallows the food in his mouth and said, "How much rent does our family charge?"

Yang Mengqi said without any concealment: "A quarter of the good land in Pingnan County has been bought by the slave family. In addition, this year is another rare harvest, and our family should charge no less than 7,000 stone fine rice."

Lin Zimo, who had converted, almost fainted. In this way, they will collect no less than one million catties of rice, and storing this batch of rice will naturally be a big problem. If it is not stored well, it will be a pity if it becomes moldy and rotten. It is convenient to ask the tenants to give him refined rice for silver, but they don't want to see farmers who rent their own crops suffer layers of exploitation by grain merchants.

Lin Zimo knew that the county was a medium-sized county when he was in Pingnanzhi County. In daily life, the rice output of the county is about 50,000 stone every season. Due to Guangxi's special climate and sufficient sunshine, the rice harvest here is not one season a year, but two or even three seasons a year. The total rice production in the past year is comparable to the annual rice production in a medium-sized state capital in some other provinces.

Lin Zimo, who had a calculation in his heart, smiled and said, "My wife is not worried. Let's send a batch of refined rice to Wenxuan's military camp first. After all, there is a storage place over there. The government's rice warehouse is very empty, and there is no problem storing the rest of our rice.

Yang Mengqi did not express any objection to the private use of his husband's official warehouse. After all, it is too late to build a rice warehouse. Since the official rice warehouse is empty, it is completely reasonable to use it first.

"Madam, don't just care about our family collecting rents." Lin Zimo kindly reminded: "Your birthday is coming, and our family hasn't been lively for a long time. Therefore, the focus should still be on this.

Fee that Yang Mengqi, who cared about him, was full of sweetness and said heartlessly, "It doesn't matter if the slave family can't celebrate his birthday."

"Good." Chu Hanlu said happily, "At that time, not only will our family be very lively, but also a lot of delicious food."

Lin Zimo, who shook his head unconsciously, stared at her blankly and said, "What else do you care about besides eating?"

Chu Hanlu, who held his chin in both hands, thought for a moment and said with a bright smile, "I care a lot about. For example... Anyway, a lot. They are very busy every day. Brother Zimo, if you don't believe what I said, you can ask your sister.

"Will you be busy?" Lin Zimo laughed and said, "You are busy eating all day. I just finished eating this, and then I went to eat that again. I have never seen you have a free mouth or no snacks in your pocket except when you are asleep.

Yang Mengqi, who sat next to him, covered his mouth and laughed. Seeing that both of them were laughing at their own Chu Hanlu, they flattened their mouths and picked up a chicken leg in the bowl and ate it disapprovingly. Lin Zimo, who noticed her like this, thought to himself that the little girl had not eaten well in the past and had been hungry for a long time, but now she is looking to make up for it. He didn't think much about it. After all, his current strength is impossible to be eaten by her at all.

Lin Zimo, who looked back, smiled at his wife and said, "Since your birthday is coming, you always have to prepare some gifts for your husband. Just say whatever your wife wants. I will do my best for you."

"It's just that the public has the heart. As for the gifts, the slave family has nothing to deliberately want. Yang Mengqi smiled sweetly.

Lin Zimo knew that she had always been a little pure-minded. Although she didn't mention it, as her father-in-law, she should still prepare a good gift. An idea flashed through his mind. Should he take advantage of Yang Mengqi's opportunity to live and reach out to the gentry in the whole Xunzhou mansion?

"Tonight's food is a little better than usual. Why is that?" Chu Hanlu, a gourmet, suddenly felt it.

Standing not far away, Cailian interrupted and explained, "In addition to paying for grain rent, the tenants also brought a lot of good ingredients, so the dishes cooked in the kitchen should be more delicious on weekdays."

'Oh, Chu Hanlu continued to wave the chopsticks in his hand and continue to eat, while Lin Zimo said seriously, "I said little girl, you are occupying my bed, shouldn't be! You should still go back to your room to sleep.

Chu Hanlu, who picked up a green onion crucian carp, slowly put it into his bowl, spit out his tongue at him, and laughed, "I just want to sleep with my sister, so that Brother Zimo will not bully my sister and do bad things."

Lin Zimo coughed dryly, waved to the maids in the room to go out, and then laughed imperceptibly, "It doesn't matter if you don't go back to the east wing. At worst, the three of us will sleep together again. I have to do other than sleep! That night, I regarded you as Yang Mengqi, and tonight, I will definitely not make a mistake again. I'll bully you first, and then your sister.

Chu Hanlu's cheeks suddenly turned red and said her mantra, "Brother Zimo, you are a bad guy."

Yang Mengqi, who also felt shy, echoed with a blush, "Your father-in-law won't take you to bully like this."

Lin Zimo saw their blushing and had a particularly proud feeling. He continued to say, "Since we are a family, what is there?" The bed in the north room is big enough to accommodate the three of us.

Chu Hanlu, who already knew what to do and what not to do, shook her head nervously and waved her hand and said, "No, I'm not going to sleep in the north room. I have to go back to my ** to sleep. Brother Zimo, it's really bad."

Lin Zimo, who laughed, continued to flirt and tease them and said, "It's really too troublesome for me to run over the north room and the east wing. It's best for the three of us to sleep in a **. You have to believe that your husband will be particularly gentle to you.

They mistakenly thought that Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu believed that they were a well-known woman he was marrying, not a woman in a brothel or a woman like a thin horse in Yangzhou, so they resolutely objected with one voice: "Absolutely not."
