Chapter 80
Ruan Yunsi thanked him sincerely again, and said: "I am not like before. I sold a prescription for 5000 taels of silver. From now on, I can expand the business and live more comfortably. In the future, my son will not have to Bring something here, you saw Brother Nan chopping firewood a few days ago, it was just for a temporary emergency, I thought I would buy some charcoal for later use."

Su Mingxi smiled and said: "It's your business to have money, spend it as you like. It's also my business for me to give things, but it's just to repay the girl's kindness, and the girl doesn't have to take it to heart." As soon as the words fell, she saw Ruan Yunsi Shaking his head slowly, he sighed and said: "That's not what I said. Back then, I was only a little bit of kindness. Now the young master is more than just a fountain to repay this kindness? It seems that he wants to move mountains and fill seas to repay this kindness. This has long passed "Although I am just a commoner's woman, my status is as small as a mustard bean, but I also have my own ambitions. The kindness of the young master is destined not to be repaid. If the young master still takes care of me, won't it make me feel uneasy in the future? This is bad." "The last two sentences are implicit accusations, thinking that Su Mingxi only thinks about himself, but doesn't think about himself.

Su Mingxi smiled slightly and said: "The girl is really worried. In fact, besides the charcoal this time, what else did you give away? It's just a few prey. Anyway, our family can't finish it. Is it a waste? Now that you say so Well, I won’t give girls these big things in the future, but if you want to buy them, you have to come to me, otherwise the most sophisticated profiteers will sell you and ask you to count the money for them.”

Ruan Yunsi was so angry that she couldn't help giving Su Mingxi a blank look, and said through gritted teeth, "In the eyes of the young master, am I so stupid?" The title of the book Yan went to the east of the village.

Sweeping Book Name Inkstone has been with this master since he was a child, and now it has been nearly ten years, and he understands the master's thoughts best. He only takes care of Ruan Yunsi several times from Su Mingxi. He doesn't know that the master is going to the widow. Mind?They were still surprised before, thinking that although the little widow was pretty, she was only of the upper middle class, not a stunning beauty, and the most beautiful ladies in the capital had gone, waiting in line for the little prince to choose, why did he But why did he fall in love with such a woman?

Unexpectedly, strange things happen every year, especially this year.In their thinking, for Su Mingxi's favor, Ruan Yunsi should be grateful and rejoiced.Unexpectedly, I heard from the girl's words just now that she didn't want to have anything to do with the young man, so she almost made it clear that she would stop dealing with these things in the future.This is naturally to take care of his master's face.It's just that my master was the most arrogant master in the past. Hearing such words, he should have said a few beautiful words and then retreated. But they listened, as if they were entangled with him.How could this not make the book title inkstone drop its jaw in shock?
As he was walking and pondering, he suddenly heard Su Mingxi say: "What are you two monkeys thinking about? Usually you chatter non-stop, but now you are calm."

Sweeping the book was courageous, so he leaned forward and said with a grin: "Master, the servants are just thinking, Master treats Miss Ruan so well, and I don't know when she will... be able to go to our Duke's mansion..." Without waiting to say After finishing, I saw Su Mingxi's face darken, and said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Although Miss Ruan is a widow, she is a pure and innocent person. I don't dare to offend the slightest bit. Don't think about such thoughts in the future, otherwise if If any words come out of your mouths, I will beat you to death immediately. Don't think I'm scaring you, don't forget that I was killed from the dead, and I don't know how many people's blood was stained on my hands .”

These words were so stern, So Shu and Ming Yan were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not even daring to speak.They understood in their hearts that it wasn't that their father didn't want to marry someone to enter the house, but that the widow didn't want to.It's really strange, is it true that the less you can get, the better?That's not going to happen, the daughter of Liu Shangshu's family back then was really tall and talented, her appearance was not perfect, but she was no worse than Ruan Yunsi. He dismissed it, but every time he heard it, he just smiled and said, "Who can make all the women in the world fall in love with him?" I've never seen him take this matter to heart, why did it change with Ruan Yunsi? ?

As for the sternness Su Mingxi said, he was naturally afraid that the two boys would go back and talk nonsense, causing rumors and speculation, and causing someone to come to Ruan Yunsi's trouble.Sweeping the title of the book is like a mirror in my heart. If I really know that there is such a woman here who affects the mind of the Lord, others will be fine. I am afraid that Aunt Yuan will be the first to lose her temper, and those two cousins ​​are not easy. By then, Ruan Yunsi will really be in constant trouble here.

Although the two boys occasionally revealed some news because of the little housekeeper power in Aunt Yuan's hands at this time, or said a few words for her in front of Su Mingxi, but such a matter of wealth and life is absolutely unacceptable. Don't dare to talk too much.It's a joke, it's said that strong girls are afraid of pestering their husbands, how do you know that if you keep pestering her like this, there will be no day of cultivation?Looking at this woman's indifferent and strong temperament, as well as her steady speech, she is not an ordinary person. If she really wants to enter the Duke's mansion, is it good for the two of you to help Aunt Yuan?

Su Mingxi didn't care about the various thoughts that swirled in his mind.He asked himself that he had no regrets towards Ruan Yunsi. Although it was not that he didn't have the idea of ​​bringing her into the mansion at the beginning, since the other party confessed his feelings, he completely extinguished that thought.It's just that men are outside, what is it to have a confidante?He respects and loves Ruan Yunsi and does something for her in exchange for joy and peace in his heart. As long as the other party allows him to do this all the time, that's enough. He really can't have any more delusions. You know, once delusions are born, greed will follow you everywhere , At that time, he will definitely desire to get more. In this way, he and Ruan Yunsi may not even have to be friends.

The three of them walked all the way, but they all had their own concerns, so the atmosphere was very silent.Seeing that they were about to reach the east end of the village, they heard a loud commotion. Su Mingxi and Saoshu Mingyan looked at each other, frowned and said, "What's going on? Let's go and have a look."

Because the three of them rushed to the big courtyard of Landlord Cheng's house, the crowd fell silent at this time, and only Zhong Nan's angry voice said: "You don't report the number of grain you collect, is that the idea of ​​Dare? Okay? , We admit it. Anyway, the officials and gentlemen have worked hard, but they have missed reports and underreported some. We just treat it as a tribute to your wine money. But now you are greedy for half of our food. What do you mean? Originally, the officials received The price of grain is higher than that of the grain shops in the city, but the price is actually lower if you make it like this. You...you are too greedy, right?"

When the words fell, a voice as thin as a eunuch said: "What are you talking about? This is military rations, do you know? What is the military rations for? It is for the frontier soldiers to eat and drink, and then beat the Tartars. There are no frontier soldiers, you These mud legs can farm and eat here, and the wives and children live a happy life on the top of the kang? Let’s have a spring and autumn dream. I heard that the price of food in the official family is high, so they flock here. Now I hear that the price of food is low. Don’t do it. Hmph! You scumbags are too snobbish. Let me tell you, the amount of military rations is here now. If you dare not pay, I will tell the Yamen later that you scumbags will all be counted as rebellious crimes. At that time, he was going to be killed."

Startled by the sound, the faces of the honest villagers immediately turned pale, and a few old men went to talk to Zhong Nan and said in a low voice: "That's all, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the government. This grain is sold to the grain shop." , it’s not much more money, in comparison, it can still make some contributions to the frontier soldiers, we just sell it to an ordinary shop and be exploited, Brother Nan, don’t talk anymore.”

Zhong Nan is not willing to give up, he is now learning to read and write with Ruan Yunsi, and his knowledge is no longer comparable to that of the ignorant boy back then.Because he broke free with all his strength, he said loudly: "Don't scare us with rebellion. That crime can't be settled by just turning over your mouth. I don't believe it. If the army rations can't be collected, could it be that the officials above Isn't it strange? The emperor is not surprised? The price is obviously high, why don't the common people sell food? Humph! Then I ask you, how do you respond? I am not convinced, if the price set by the government is low, that's all. , let's try to pay a little bit, in order to feed the frontier warriors, we have to sell this grain. But now, can one of the half of the grain that you have greedy be transported to the frontier? Why should we spend our hard-earned money? For you rats? Even if I refuse to accept it, even if I go to the sky, I will fight for this truth."

Both Yunniang and Zhong Xiu were very scared at this time, and they kept pulling Zhong Nan's sleeve to make him less aggressive.Only Zhong Nan is a bloody young man, how can he endure such exploitation?What's more, after listening to his words, the common people felt that it was very reasonable, and they gradually started clamoring. Under such circumstances, if they didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue and let these officials steal so much food, Zhong Nan would feel ashamed of what Sister Ruan taught. Those books are gone.

The official who harvested the grain left Zhong Nanding speechless, so he heard a person next to him complain: "Really, Mr. Hou Ermeng clearly ordered you not to make money in Xiaowang Village when you came here." You don’t want to listen, what the hell is going on now? That kid doesn’t seem like an easy boss to deal with. Now that things have become so rigid, what should we do?”

These officials are naturally the officials under Zhen Yan, the Minister of the Household Department, and they have always been used to running amok. Therefore, when the surnamed Meng Te from the Minister's Mansion came to remind them of this group of people, they only laughed at him for being cowardly. Su Mingxi was scared out of his wits, but he didn't want to think about it, why would the dignified little father-in-law always go to such a remote place?Some ordinary people, what is there not to fool?Even if you can't appease, a few words of scaring will be over.These tricks have been used all these years, how could it not work once?Otherwise, you can't get thousands of silver every year out of thin air.

　Poor ghosts and demons are about to hit the guns again. Before they hit, let them use their remaining heat and knock on the bowl to advertise for stupid wine: from 29th to January 1th, it is double monthly tickets, so everyone has tickets in hand If so, can you wait until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to vote for Stupid Wine?It will be doubled. Of course, stupid wine keeps what it says, and it will be more unwavering when it reaches 7 votes
