Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 15
Depressed, Li Fei returned to the backyard where he and Lin Shiyue lived.

He took out a jade pendant from his bosom, Li Fei sighed, he lost a tael of silver, only this jade pendant from Zhang Yuanming was left, at least it was worth 100 taels of silver. As for the busy work these two days.

"Husband, you are back!" Seeing Li Fei's depressed face, Lin Shiyue put down her pen and walked towards Li Fei.

Just after Lin Shiyue took a few steps, Huan'er suddenly came to Lin Shiyue from the outside and whispered something in Lin Shiyue's ear.

Lin Shiyue sighed slightly, she knew it would be like this, her father and mother would not allow Li Fei, the son-in-law who came to visit, to have the possibility of turning against customers, and they would definitely suppress it.

"Husband, if you are really unhappy, Yue Yue will go and tell your parents that all of your money will be returned to you."

"Miss, you already know." Li Fei looked at the beautiful wife in front of him, and was very touched, at least on the surface, he was toward him.

Lin Shiyue nodded.

Li Fei said depressedly: "Thank you, lady, but there's no need. If I really need it, I can ask for it from lady." Although he earned the money, it has been confiscated by his father-in-law and put into the treasury. It doesn't make much sense for Lin Shiyue to open her mouth and take it out again.

After this time, he also knows that in the Lin family, no matter how much money he earns back, it can only belong to the Lin family. With Lin Siming, the county magistrate of Xunyang County, he can't use money to turn the customer into the main. Thinking of this, Li Fei was a little disappointed.

"Husband, let Yueyue play a piece of music for you." Lin Shiyue said, and asked Huan'er to get the piano.

Lin Shiyue's piano sound is very nice, and Li Fei saw her play it twice during the first few days of his treatment.Not only does Lin Shiyue play the piano nicely, but she also practices handwriting very often, and her handwriting is excellent. She can also draw, but she doesn't know if she can play chess.

"Miss, can you play chess?" Li Fei interrupted Lin Shiyue's music.

Lin Shiyue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Yes!"

"Then let's play two sets another day." Satisfied, Li Fei closed his eyes, stopped talking, and quietly listened to Lin Shiyue's piano sound.

Lin Shiyue smiled and continued playing the piano.

Li Fei felt that he had earned it all by himself. His wife was not only beautiful, but also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Where can I find such a woman.

"Huan'er, do you have a bamboo flute?" After listening for a while, Li Fei felt that he should not just listen to the situation, so he opened his eyes and asked Huaner if he had a bamboo flute.

"Yes, uncle." Huan'er replied.

"Go and get one for me." Li Fei said with a smile.

Lin Shiyue looked at Li Fei suspiciously, but the sound of the piano didn't stop.

Soon, Huan'er brought the bamboo flute.

Li Fei smiled slightly at Lin Shiyue, and started playing along with the sound of the piano.The piece played by Lin Shiyue has a serene and noble theme, and there is a plum blossom beside it, so Li Fei played a plum blossom three times to suit the scene.

Plum Blossom Three Nongs was born in the Ming Dynasty and is one of the top ten famous songs handed down to later generations, but now it was played by Li Fei in the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Fei's xiao skills are not very proficient, at most they are amateurs, but with this top ten famous songs handed down to later generations, it is enough to make people's eyes shine.

Lin Shiyue was like this, her beautiful eyes sparkled, she was both surprised and excited, the sound of the piano specially matched with the sound of Li Fei's flute, the harmony of the flute and the flute all of a sudden, it was really beautiful, even Zeng A Niu, who was standing not far away and had no rhythm at all. I think it's beautiful, and Huan'er, who has a little rhythm, almost doesn't have little stars in his eyes.

In the front yard, Lin Siming and Mrs. Lin were also shocked when they learned that it was Li Fei and Lin Shiyue who were playing the qin and Xiao.Lin Siming felt more and more that Li Fei was not simple, and felt the pressure. The ability Li Fei showed was not as easy to control as he thought at first.

"I didn't expect my husband to be able to play the flute. Yueyue has never heard this flute. If it is spread, it will be spread all over the world soon. Yueyue will record this flute." Lin Shiyue was very happy and said Then let Huan'er bring a pen and paper.Lin Shiyue's memory is so good that she even recorded it after hearing it once.

Seeing that Lin Shiyue had finished recording, Li Fei said with a smile: "Your husband knows a lot, and you will know about it later."

For the next three days, Li Fei didn't leave the Lin mansion again.

The Lin family has developed in Xunyang County for decades. If you count the inheritance before the development, the history of the Lin family in Xunyang County is no less than 200 years.Especially when the hard work reached Lin Siming's generation, Lin Siming also became the magistrate of Xunyang County. Although by the time of Lin Shiyue's generation, the Lin family had only one daughter, the family business accumulated before was already large enough.

Li Fei specifically learned that the Lin family has a hundred hectares of fertile land, and because Lin Siming is the county magistrate, many businessmen in Xunyang County depend on his care and give him a certain amount of dividends every year.

Why do you say to be an official and get rich!

In the Tang Dynasty, the salaries of officials were not the main thing. Just like Lin Siming, a county magistrate, his annual salary was actually more than a hundred taels, and the county magistrate Zhang was only about 200 taels. How could he afford the luxurious consumption of the entire family.

The reason is that they have extra income.

For example, in Xunyang County, the county magistrate is the top leader, the county magistrate is the second leader, and the county lieutenant is the third leader.The businessman has money, but if the businessman wants to do business well in Xunyang County, he must rely on him. In Xunyang County, the county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant are the biggest reliance.

As long as County Magistrate Zhang, Lin Siming and County Captain Cao sat down, businessmen would come to seek refuge with them and seek their care.And it's not that simple to get their care, and they need dividends from their own business.

Why do scholars look down on businessmen, because they don't need to work hard like businessmen, but they can get the benefits of businessmen for nothing.

County magistrate Zhang has only been in Xunyang County for only two years, and his prestige and influence are not as strong as those of the Lin family and Cao family who have been operating in Xunyang County for decades or even hundreds of years. So that there are many more businessmen under his command.

This is also why County Magistrate Zhang wants to suppress the Lin family and the Cao family. To vote for the county magistrate Zhang, the so-called competition is the contribution of the businessmen behind it.

Lin Siming's annual income is about two to three thousand taels.

This is only cash income, the Lin family still has a hundred hectares of fertile land?The annual land tax is two to three thousand taels.

The Lin family's family business is destined to be passed on to Lin Shiyue. Even in Lin Shiyue's generation, the Lin family does not have an official like Lin Siming, but they have already accumulated a large enough family business.

Li Fei and Lin Shiyue can enjoy prosperity and wealth every day without having to say anything.

Li Fei has been very leisurely these three days. Apart from eating and sleeping, he is practicing calligraphy and playing chess with his wife Lin Shiyue. Some of the maids in the house also like to come to the side to listen.
