Chapter [-]

It's been annoying recently, the statistics report has been handed in for ten days and nothing has come out.I didn't expect the imperial court to revoke the ban on alcohol, but the Ministry of Industry has been jealous and eager to open a brewery, but there is no movement. After a few more days, it will be the one-month time I gave to others. At that time, the house will be blocked again. on, that would be difficult.

It's funny, it's obviously my own business, and the dominance of the family is something that would make me laugh in my dreams, but now it's a hot potato.Although there used to be a person who stole a teacher and made people panic, but there was never such a big pressure. Now it seems to be a single family, which is supposed to be a great thing, but it makes people feel uncomfortable, and disgusting things happen one after another Not to mention, I was still worried all day long, afraid of being plotted against.

People want to live comfortably, live with worry, and have no comfort in buried money piles. The good mood accumulated for more than two years suddenly disappeared, and all they can feel is the omen of someone stabbing a knife behind them at any time.Not only me, but Ying, the fourth child, and even the second daughter didn't smile all day. Ying was so preoccupied that she didn't even touch the abacus for a few days. Without the sound of "cracking, crackling", I couldn't sleep well. The family of three Lying on the kang, there are few people who don't say a word. The life of husband and wife is the same as the routine, just perfunctory each other, like chewing wax.

"Uncomfortable." In the dark, she let go of Ying's body, sat up a little, and pulled a pillow to lean on. "Let's forget it for now. If you're not in a good state, all the twists and turns are in your head. It's a mess."

"En." Ying didn't take offense, the most boring thing is to have fun while suffering, especially when she wants to please the other party, and she feels as if she is a victim. "I didn't even think about it, I just hoped that my husband didn't have any joy for a few days before I came here."

"It's nothing to do with the two of us, it's just a matter of making trouble," he touched Ying's body apologetically, and gently pulled her up to let her lie on top of me and hug her. "Just wait until the matter is over." I only hoped that the matter would be resolved quickly, and felt that the second daughter next to me hadn't slept well yet.He stretched out his hand to gently stroke her hair, and sighed, "I feel uneasy, and I feel uncomfortable when I hold it back. I have to find a space to vent. Remember the last time we quarreled? After a while, I felt refreshed. I just want to quarrel with you again."

"That's no reason." Ying seemed to be recalling the quarrel, and chuckled a few times, "Wait until the difficulties are over before we quarrel. I don't want to accompany you now. It's still a month away, don't worry too much, why don't my husband go Let's relax in the villa and say hello to Princess Lanling, you two can agree."

"Nonsense." He raised his hand and slapped Ying. "She is an outsider after all, and her status is much higher than that. She can't understand our family's state of mind. The only ones who can talk to you are you and the second daughter. The difficulties are still there." The three of us deserve it. If others help, it’s because of friendship. If they can’t help, it’s because of their limited ability. Not everything can be solved by power. It may not be easy to ask the emperor.”

Ying sighed: "If I knew this was the result, I shouldn't have accepted the workshop on the north gate. It stands to reason that they didn't really block our way, just to earn a living. If there is that workshop .The imperial court will not just focus on our family to order, and people all over the capital will not ask our family for wine, so they can share some of it."

I really agreed that it was not a family, and if I didn't enter the family, I regretted this and wanted to be together.I couldn't help laughing, "We are a couple who are obsessed with money, and we are short-sighted. Let's make money for comfort. If you don't feel comfortable, what you earn is a disaster. Even if you learn this lesson, you may not be able to change it in the future. hehe…"

"It's enough to be greedy and seek guilt once." Ying softly stroked my chest, her fingers rhythmic like plucking strings, "It's much better after a few words, and I've tried my best. The least possible Just blocked the door for them again. If you want to block it, you won’t lose a catty of our family’s meat.”

"Break the jar. It hasn't reached that point yet." Although Ying said something reassuring, but as long as the knife didn't fall, she couldn't wait to die. I was still alive and kicking, and there was no reason to sit still. "If our family doesn't lose meat, the Chen family will feel uncomfortable. There is no son-in-law who will let the old man take the blame. I will ask someone tomorrow. It doesn't matter whether the matter is done or not. The Wang family has to sell a little bit of face," I feel uncomfortable thinking about this. Well, everyone sells face and speaks kindly, but those who take things are gone. "Cao Shangshu is so cunning, he went to hide twice, and I won't kill him."

"Think about it again, my husband, and see if there are any people in the Ministry of Industry who can talk. It's not just about picking officials and looking for them everywhere. Those who can get things, and those with backgrounds in the family will do. Master Cao clearly sees that he is a minister, but he After all, the Cao family is weak, and when it comes to relationships, it may not be as extensive as ours. After all, he climbed up from the bottom, without the accumulation of three generations, don't even try to tell the truth in the capital, maybe he dare not even speak .”

Ying's words are insightful, otherwise it is difficult to say that it is difficult to be a Beijing official, that's the reason.A big member of one party is a dragon entering the water, but once he lives in the capital, no matter how high his rank is, no matter how favored he is, the family power has no accumulation of several generations, and it is useless to be bare.Among other things, it can be seen that after Wu MM was sealed last year, she was hit all over the circle. Even the prime minister of the court just let it go, but the rightful owner and grandson's family did not dare to do anything openly. For this reason, the tree has deep roots .Cao Shangshu is an opportunist, not a powerful faction. In small storms, he has the ability to adapt to the wind and waves, but in big storms, he is the material for others to be sacrificed.

There are a few acquaintances in the Ministry of Industry, and when it comes to officials who are small and powerful, Li Shi is the only one.Although I don't know his background, but a low-level official who dares to be called a princess by you and me, a guy who goes in and out of the royal nursery as casually as his own... Forget it, he went to the doctor in a hurry, because I chatted with him more speculatively, That's him.

Early in the morning, before Lanling came over to speak, I proposed to bring Li Shiyue out. Although the relationship was still harmonious, that guy's whereabouts were mysterious, and he could only go through Lanling's intermediary.

"Oh?" Lan Ling looked at me back and forth for a while, "Why do you think of looking for him? What's on your mind?"

"I haven't seen him all this time, I just want to chat with him." Turning the teacup in his hand with an irrelevant expression on his face, "I've been flustered recently, I'm tired of watching you, and I want to talk to a man."

"That's right." Lan Ling moved my head and knocked a few times, "What kind of voice does it sound like picking watermelons? You said it last time, but you forgot it again."

"Occasionally in the West Market, two heads are chopped off, and I pick them up for practice, and I don't use living people to learn from them." "Let's talk nonsense, I told you to make an appointment. They said they were working in the Ministry of Industry. I've approached people a few times and only said that there is this person, but I have never accepted it. It's too big a joke."

"Didn't you also work in Zuo Wuwei, did you answer it?" Lan Ling looked at me seriously, "Begging for help, why are you acting like robbing someone? My back is sore, I saw the accounting method you invented last night , nagging with my accountant for a long time. I haven't stopped enough."

"Sure, turn it over, and I'll get it for you." Massage, a lot of decent people have been made disabled, and they are really not afraid of death.After turning over Lanling, he began to practice Iron Sand Palm, and after performing a trick of poisonous dragon, he asked, "Isn't it beautiful?"

"I'm going to die!" Lan Ling bowed his body and bounced up after I tapped his acupoints.Turning around and beating me a few times without thinking, covered my waist and eyes and said with a smile: "Let's forget about the appointment, the important thing is to recover from the injury."

"Tomorrow," La Lanling sat down, "tomorrow I'll go to Xiyuan to build a yard. It's the place where you treated guests last time. The scenery is good and the shade is shady. It's a good time to talk. It depends on their work. If you are busy, push it for two days That's right, don't delay."

"The mechanism is exhausted," Lan Ling put away his playful expression, and sat down in front of me, "I've said everything I need to say here, why do you think Li Shi is more useful than me?"

"That's not what I said. He is definitely not comparable to your relationship. I am also aimless. I can become whatever I can. Just try my best." As a princess, Lan Ling can't interfere with things that I don't expect others to do. It's a fluke if you can do it.

"En," Lan Ling nodded, rubbing lightly on my hand, "Don't take it too seriously, you've been worrying a lot lately, and I don't follow my heart. Let me tell you the truth. Now the inner mansion is relying on Chen The family's toilet water. There are rumors going out in the open and in the dark, and no one would dare to do anything to the Chen family even without my support. They just yelled twice. Playing tricks will make you sick, it won't be too much."

"I know, you have put your mind on this matter." Lan Ling didn't say this, and I understood the key point.But all the people in the capital watched with red eyes, even if they had reliance, it was not a comfortable thing.Standing on the opposite side of the vast majority of people for a privilege is not worthwhile. The less things that offend people, the better. I also have to plan for the future of the Wang family. "Our identities are different. Even if you offend the whole capital, no one dares to say anything. I still have to live in peace, and there must be no mistakes inside and outside the house. It's really uncomfortable to be a villain for the first time. To put it bluntly Honestly, I'm not as greedy as you think. Sometimes I don't know what I want to be greedy. Sometimes I just lie there and think about it. There are only three people I really care about. Money or not, the family is enough now, so I can tell the truth Don't care."

"Well," Lan Ling lightly shook his cattail fan on my shoulder, "Usually, those words stink at you. Do you know that I'm jealous of you? From the beginning to now, I've always been jealous. It’s inevitable that I’ll bring it out, we don’t have so many polite words between us, and you don’t take it to heart anyway.” He took my hand and put it on her waist, tightening it slightly, “I’m going to make an appointment for you, He's been busy at home recently, there may be a lot of things, it's uncertain whether he can get away, don't worry too much."

With Lanling's words, I can rest assured. If the dignified princess invites someone, even if her parents die, her parents will have to rush over. Suddenly thinking about it, she feels that it is inappropriate. I am afraid that Li Shi who is doing such a thing will be unhappy. After all, the relationship is good, so do I. There is no meaning of forcing it. "Don't talk too much, just talk about the old days, let people pick a date, let's not set a time."

"Hehe..." Lan Ling leaned into my arms and smiled nicely, "You, you are too cautious. You usually look easy-going, and you don't care about big and small things. It's fake and pretending. You are in your twenties. His seven-year-old and eighty-year-old mind is not like a dude, but he is on the same side as the old guy in the court."

"Precocious, precocious is just like me." There is no way to explain, I am no longer a pure person.Don’t underestimate the financial workers of the future generations. There are no fewer intrigues than in other departments, especially in the credit industry. If you don’t pay attention, you can fall into the pit. , Be careful sailing for thousands of years, we are still a boat with a leaky bottom, so we must be more cautious and get used to it. "By the way, the dew water workshop has just released a few new products. They are really good. You can take a few bottles to try out later, and give Mrs. Li Shi a few cans by the way. Just say that my mother-in-law conveyed it to show your heart." Shi Po Niang just met a few times, but it can be seen from Li Shidi's actions that he is still very caring, he must be thoughtful, pillow wind is sometimes more lethal than a tsunami.

Sure enough, the words of Lanling Chuan were not to cover the land, and there would be a reply immediately.Two days later, on Xiyuan, see you there.Even the garden has been reserved by others. It was originally my job to be the host, but it has changed to be a treat, which is good, and saves a lot of money.

"Should I go over with some presents?" Ying tossed about at home, "I don't know what people like. It's not appropriate to go empty-handed."

"I don't take anything, our things may not be appreciated by others, and the toilet water has already been delivered in advance." Bu Heying was wordy, ate a couple of breakfasts indiscriminately, changed into a more plain attire, and rushed towards Xiyuan Running away is always a hope, and there is more or less motivation.He is an official of the Ministry of Industry.Some people have to pay attention to speaking with a little power; from previous contacts, we can see that Li Shi is an extreme patriot, and in some places he even has a tendency to pervert, which is in my favor.Move with affection again.Knowing the truth, starting from the righteousness, using the way of thinking that the ancients did not understand to analyze, covering everything from the macro to the micro.The montage method should also be tried, anyway, it is three points false and seven points true, and he is not considered a banker if he is not dead.

Li Shi's casual (pretending) remarks attracted me. Originally, the two of them were talking about geography, but I intentionally or unintentionally changed the topic to economics. I didn't touch the sensitive topic of alcohol prohibition, and started from macroeconomic regulation and control. Start with currency circulation.The consciousness of the commodity economy has been packaged in the feudal social system, gradually turned to micro-control, and the topic is locked on the impact of large-scale development of agricultural and sideline products on the national economy. "Actually, the tofu has to be oiled a bit, and it tastes good when you add some garlic sprouts and stir-fry it with wine. It just covers up the smell of bean curd."

"Wine?" Li Shi smiled and took the jug and poured himself a glass. "Hehe. Drinking during prohibition, I'm afraid the food will taste good without drinking."

"Alcohol is prohibited. It should be banned!" I nodded in agreement, "The imperial court did the right thing in consideration of the disaster situation, that's right!"

"Zihao's words are not pleasing to the ear." Li Shigao smiled deeply, with a look of foresight, "I had to do it, and it was meant to stabilize the hearts of the people. Don't talk about you and me, maybe even the emperor will be upset. Reluctant. The first year still has a role. After a long time, stealing wine shops will become huge profits. After two or three years, the prohibition law will become a display. In the end, it will be the court who suffers, so many people who buy and sell secretly, Can you catch them one by one? It’s just deceiving yourself.”

"That's right, Brother Li's analysis is thorough!" I raised my thumb with a look of admiration, "There are advantages and disadvantages, and the imperial court also weighed it. According to the strong national strength of our Tang Dynasty, this threshold will be passed within a year. It doesn't make much sense to ban it later. However, it is true that without alcohol, the related industries have been hit hard, and the country has lost tax revenue in just one year..." Speaking of this, he imitated the expression of worrying about the country and the people on TV. Shaking his head, with a face of loyalty to the country, he is more friendly than his lord.

"Oh?" Li Shi was amused by my young and mature appearance, "Zihao has something to say? Prohibition of alcohol is a major event, and the court naturally calculated the tax losses of the land, isn't it the same?"

"It's the same, why is it different." He took a mouthful of food and threw it in his mouth with an indifferent look, "Everything has two sides, good and bad, and it's all up to you to control, not just to block it. It's like ...Like that...butterfly! You see, a butterfly is transformed from a meat worm. At first, it was a creature that ruined crops and harmed forests. After being transformed into a butterfly, it becomes a good thing. It is both beautiful and good for crops when it flies around pollination……"

"Fresh, tell me carefully." Li Shi immediately became interested in butterflies, asking about their metamorphosis process and the relationship between pollination and crops.

I think he did it on purpose, and the topic of wine was finally transferred to biology with the butterfly. When Hu Zhili pulled him back, he hit him far away again with four or two strokes of a thousand catties.After a long time, I can also see the clues, people don't want to involve me in the topic of wine at all.If you give up your mind, let's just chat, it's all just to relax, it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of looking for people randomly, and he doesn't care if it succeeds or not.

In this way, I thought about it, and put aside the matter of the Ministry of Industry's wine making, and my mind was relieved a lot without worrying about the topic. After all, it is also a comfortable thing to find a chat partner who can chat, especially under the prohibition of alcohol. Add interest.

"Zihao is really knowledgeable." Li Shi was very curious about my many weird topics, "There are so many things to talk about even wearing shoes." He looked down at my feet and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I also want to go back. Just try it, haha..."

"I don't dare to say I'm knowledgeable, but I'm usually lazy and can't bear to be wronged, and I can't bear to think about things." He waved his hand, "When it comes to food and clothing, he cares more than others, and he is spoiled and shameless."

"Where's the wine?" Li Shi suddenly smiled mischievously, "What about the knowledge of drinking? Zihao must have come here today to discuss this with me, right?"

"Ah, haha..." Finally brought the conversation back, scratching his head in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "I originally planned to do this, but now I don't want to talk about it. Once I have a plan, the relationship between friends is a bit out of date. It's not suitable. It's still refreshing to chat," raised the wine glass, "Brother Li, please!"

"Hehe..." Li Shi nodded, drank his drink, and said, "I don't want to talk about it either, but..."
