After Lin Fufu heard her words, he only smiled lightly, did not answer her words, and objected to her: "I am very busy with government affairs now, and I am discussing with old Prime Minister Meng recently. If you don’t have the energy to take care of your marriage if you tinker with the system or change it completely, you will send the bold and careful Lin Mei to help you, so Sister Fen, you have to take care of yourself.”
After a pause, Lin Fufu smiled even more, "It's mainly the dowry, some land store, pressed silver, silk and satin, jewelry, you can buy whatever you want, but don't be reluctant to part with the money!"
After hearing her words, Lin Fen laughed, "You don't need to worry about these things. I also prepared Sister Fang's dowry back then. It's just that the Wen family is treacherous. I kept a lot of what I prepared for her in secret."
"It's great if you know what's in your mind. Now I don't care much about the money, but I think the dividends that should be distributed to you are also a huge amount. If you don't have enough money on hand, you can withdraw the money." You got the bonus silver." After Lin Fufu said this, she remembered that she hadn't paid attention to her property for a long time, so she said, "I don't know how much silver we have?"
Lin Fen laughed loudly when he heard the words, and shook his head solemnly, "I don't know how much, I only know that I can earn a huge sum of money every year! I only know that our Lin family, Liu family, Li family, and Prince Jin are living together in the university. This year, Wei's property has handed over tens of millions of taels of tax money to the imperial court, and the imperial court will have a bumper harvest this year!"
"Oh, I didn't have time to ask the household department!" Lin Fufu said, and then frowned, "Dawei's business is not only doing well, it seems that even after the last time Her Royal Highness the Princess and Qiu Shangshu rectified It’s been a while, but those big businessmen still have policies and countermeasures.”
Lin Fen didn't understand what Lin Fufu said later. She only knew that there were indeed many competitors in the same industry who were tricky about paying taxes.
"I heard from Liu Qin that some big businessmen think of ways to pay less taxes, or even don't pay taxes. If all the taxes that should be paid are turned over to the treasury, the treasury of the imperial court will definitely be richer this year." Lin Fen said .
Lin Fufu sneered, "Actually, the household department has received tens of millions of taels of silver, which is much more abundant than in previous years. The beginning of this year will be over, and it seems that we will indeed have a bumper harvest year."
"At first I also thought that tens of millions of taels was a lot for the national treasury, but last time you told us to allocate money to Hexi for flood relief, and it cost more than 300,000 taels of silver to donate medicine and porridge alone. Donating clothes, distributing seeds, and buying cattle to help restore farming in the disaster-stricken areas, it cost more than one million taels of silver at once. I knew that the huge Wei Dynasty had tens of millions of taels in the treasury. Silver is really useless." Lin Fen frowned.
She was telling the truth. Lin Fufu knew more than she did, and knew more of the truth. She smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the Hexi flood we managed was only one place, but there are so many floods in the big Wei every year." Natural disasters and man-made disasters cost money like water, so the more money the treasury has, the better! It seems that I have to remind the Ministry of Household Affairs again."
Originally, the two sisters were talking about happy things, but because they mentioned the national treasury, their faces were very solemn.
"Oh, by the way, Liu Qin reminded me of one thing last time, saying that about a quarter of the property under Sister Fang's name paid a lot less tax! He was also busy at the time and left in a hurry, but Also remind me to ask Sister Fang what's going on, Sister Fang has never returned to my place, I'm busy, didn't I tell you about this today, I forgot!" Lin Fen suddenly thought again When I got up, something happened, and I hurriedly told Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu raised his eyebrows, but shook his head, "Sister Fang wouldn't do such a thing. It seems that the Wen family did it. I guess the property of Sister Fang has already been interfered by the Wen family." Lin Fufu sighed after finishing speaking. Looking at Lin Fen in a calm tone, he told: "If you have time, ask Sister Fang carefully."
Lin Fen's expression turned ugly, and he said coldly, "What am I asking her for? I know her character very well. She loves money very much. If she doesn't want to, no one can take her money away from her." Property and money! Since she agreed, it is useless for others to say anything."
"That's what you said, but you should ask her. Looking at her look last time, she didn't want to make the relationship so stiff with us... Besides, you have seen that she is not living in Wen's house now. Comfortable." Lin Fufu looked at Lin Fen.
Lin Fen mentioned that Lin Fang's face was even more ugly, "You don't know yet, this time I sent Dafang's family and grandma back to Hulu Village, and Sister Fang has already come to make trouble with me."
"What is she asking you to do?"
"Hmph, it's nothing more than accusing me of being unfilial, and accusing me of not helping Lin Dalang... Oh, I think she was deceived by lard. Back then, Lin Dalang and his grandma almost sold me to a pervert to do petty things." She has forgotten that feelings are not a matter of her experience, so she doesn't care!" Lin Fen became angry as she spoke.
She couldn't tolerate her being angry. She could feel what happened back then. Even when the Gospel was mentioned now, she was still filled with righteous indignation, standing on her side and thinking of her.
Even if she sold Lin Dalang to that kind of place, Gospel didn't say anything. Even if Lin Dalang's identity was exposed, it would have an impact on Gospel, but she still tolerated what she did.
As for her own sister, she rushed to accuse her of this matter!
"I think, after the Wen family heard that grandparents and Dafang's family had returned to their hometown, they must have found out what Sister Fang said, and Sister Fang was in a hurry." Lin Fufu curled his lips coldly.
"If the Wen family accused her because of that incident, wouldn't she know to push back? Why did the Dafang family go to the Wen family for help when Lin Dalang had an accident, why did the Wen family throw them out?" Lin Fen sneered. .
Lin Fen and Lin Fufu complained about Lin Fang, and Lin Fang was currently in the palace of the Empress Dowager.
She was dressed very dignifiedly, because the first emperor had just passed away, so she was just wearing plain clothes and sitting beside the empress dowager who was also dressed in plain clothes.
The empress dowager personally forked a piece of preserved fruit for her with a silver skewer and handed it to her, "Although you are pregnant with the first child, although you say it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl, you should still be a boy! These dried apricots are very sweet and sour. You can eat a few more pieces."
The empress dowager personally forked the dried apricots, Lin Fang naturally did not dare not to eat them, and thanked them one after another.
Although, she didn't realize that the preserved fruit was dried apricot.
Seeing that Lin Fang ate the piece of dried apricot, the Empress Dowager smiled gently and forked another piece for her and handed it over. Lin Fang quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, I'd better come by myself. I can always trouble you!"
Lin Fang actually doesn't like sour food, but rather spicy food.
But she didn't dare to eat it, because the old couple of the Wen family, like the Queen Mother, hoped that she would have a son. Even Wen Shengyi secretly hoped that she would have a son.
But he didn't say it.
Regarding Lin Fang's politeness, the empress dowager shook her head indifferently, and said to her quite confidingly: "Don't be upset that the Ai family hopes that your baby will be a boy. The Ai family is also for your own good. People, what the parents-in-law hope most is that the daughter-in-law will give birth to many children for the in-laws! If you are a big boy with your first child, you will live more easily at home and be able to stand upright."
Lin Fang was very moved by the empress dowager's words. After calling out the empress dowager, tears were about to fall.
The empress dowager saw her like this, but a sneer flashed in her eyes quickly, and she said gently on her face: "The Ai family knows the difficulty of this woman the most, you can see what the Ai family lived in the first half of their life." In the final analysis, if it wasn’t for your cousin, Princess Tiangui, Ai’s family would have disappeared long ago in order to give birth to His Majesty.”
Seeing her saying such unlucky words gracefully, Lin Fang hurriedly interrupted.
The empress dowager glanced at her, her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Actually, back then, why did you think that the Ai family, who had no children for so many years, had been carefully serving the late emperor? And why did the late emperor always love Ai so much?" Where is home?"
Lin Fang was taken aback for a moment, she never expected that the empress dowager would ask her such a question, how would she answer this
Fortunately, the empress dowager did not expect her to really answer her question, she glanced at Lin Fang, and then said to herself, "Actually, the former emperor had asked someone to help the Ai family to count their fortunes. In fact, the Ai family It is the destiny to be able to give birth to the Son of Heaven, but the foundation of the Ai family is a little shallow, if you give birth to the Son of Heaven, you will definitely die!"
"Ah!" Lin Fang exclaimed.
This time the empress dowager didn't even look at her, and then said: "The former emperor and Princess Ruoshui knew about it, but they didn't expect that the Ai family would have known about it long ago. If the Ai family was really as honest as they appear, they would have known about it a long time ago. I don’t know how many times he died. Later, Ai’s family sent someone to inform his father, and his father also sent people to find a solution, but it was just to save Ai’s life. Ai’s luck was good, and his father really met a Ascetic monk, that ascetic monk is very virtuous. After his father asked him about the method of cracking Aijia's fate, he told his father that if he wanted to save Aijia, he had to find the daughter of the phoenix who was naturally born with noble spirit... You already know it now, right? , who is the daughter of the Phoenix Nirvana?"
"You...you mean the Gospel she is...she is..."
"It's her!" The empress dowager nodded with a smile that was not a smile, "Princess Ruoshui thought she was the one who brought the then princess Tiangui to the capital, but she didn't know that it was the Ai family who secretly pushed a lot. It was finally what made her make up her mind to bring Tiangui to the capital."
"Look, heaven is noble, heaven is noble, the title given to her by the late emperor is so enviable..."
"Empress Dowager... why did you tell the ministers these things?" Lin Fang felt a little uneasy.
