The Village Doctress Chapter 686: The Empress Dowager


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. The various systems of the imperial court have been repaired or completely changed, and I have no energy to manage your marriage, so I sent the bold and careful Lin Mei to help you, so Sister Fen, you have to take care of yourself."

Paused, Lin Fufu smiled even more, "It's mainly the dowry, some real estate shops, pressed boxes of silver, silk and satin, jewelry, you can buy whatever you want, but don't be reluctant to part with the money!"

After hearing what she said, Lin Fen laughed, "You don't have 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 heart. Now I don't care much about 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 Go and get the bonus silver that you deserve." 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 Jin family The Prince’s property in Wei Dynasty has handed over tens of millions of taels of tax money to the court this year, and the court will have a bumper harvest this year!"

"Oh, I didn't have time to ask the household department about this!" Lin Fufu said, then frowned, "Dawei's business is not only doing well, it seems that even after the last time the eldest princess joined forces Qiu Shangshu has rectified it, but those big businessmen still have policies and countermeasures."

Lin Fen doesn't understand what Lin Fufu said later. She only knows that there are indeed many competitors in the same industry who are 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, 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 year."

"At the beginning, I also thought that tens of millions of taels was a lot for the treasury, but last time you told us to allocate money to Hexi for flood relief, and it cost more than 300,000 taels of money to donate medicine and porridge alone. , plus donating clothes to distribute 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 cost tens of millions Two 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 were in charge of was only one place, but the big Wei There are so many natural and man-made disasters, all of which are spent 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 also 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, so he left I was in a hurry, but I also reminded me to ask Sister Fang what was going on, and Sister Fang never came back to me, and I was busy, I didn’t tell you about this today, I forgot!” Lin Fen Suddenly remembered something again, and 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 said Wan Wan sighed, looked at Lin Fen and said: "If you have time, ask Sister Fang."

Lin Fen's expression turned ugly, and he said coldly: "What do I ask her for? I know her character very well. She loves money like her life. If she doesn't want to, no one can get it from her." Take her property and silver! 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 now at Wen's house. It's not 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 grandparents back to Hulu Village, and Sister Fang has already come to make trouble with me .”

"What is she asking you for?"

"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 grandparents almost sold me to a pervert She forgets about doing small things, and feelings are not something she has experienced, so she doesn't care!" Lin Fen became angry as she spoke.

It is also impossible for her not to be angry. She can feel what happened back then, even if the gospel is mentioned now, she is still filled with righteous indignation, standing on her side and thinking about 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 her actions.

As for her own sister, she rushed to accuse her of this incident!

"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 had 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 how to push back? Why did the Wen family throw them out when Dafang's family went to the Wen family for help when Lin Dalang had an accident?" Lin Fen sneered.

Lin Fen and Lin Fufu complained about Lin Fang, but 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 stick 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. How many more can you eat?" block."

The empress dowager personally forked the dried apricots. Naturally, Lin Fang dared not refuse to eat them, and thanked them one after another.

Although, she didn't realize that the preserved fruit was dried apricot.

Looking at Lin Fang eating the piece of dried apricot, the Empress Dowager smiled gently, and forked another piece for her and handed it over. Come on, how can I keep bothering you!"

In fact, Lin Fang doesn't like sour food, but 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 annoyed that the Ai family hopes that your baby will be a boy. The Ai family is also doing it for your own good. This woman is married, and 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 up better .”

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 quickly flashed in her eyes, and she said gently on her face: "The Ai family knows that this woman is not easy. Look at what the Ai family lived in the first half of their life." You know it! In the end, if it wasn't for your cousin, Princess Tiangui, the Ai family would have died 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 had no children for so many years and still served the late emperor carefully? So what about pampering Aijia?"

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 it?

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't expect her to really answer her question, she glanced at Lin Fang, and then said to herself, "Actually, the former emperor had already asked someone to help Ai's family fortune-telling. In fact, the Ai family is the destiny to be able to give birth to the emperor, but the foundation of the Ai family is a little shallow, if it gives birth to the emperor, it will definitely die!"

"Ah!" Lin Fang exclaimed.

This time the empress dowager didn't even look at her, and then said: "The first 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 is really as good as it seems To be honest, I didn’t know I was dead for a long time. Later, the Ai family sent people and notified the father, and the father also sent people to find a way around, but it was just to save the Ai family’s life. The luck of the Ai family was good, and the father later really He met an ascetic monk, that ascetic monk was very good, and his father asked him about the way to crack Aijia's fate, and 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 now You already know, 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 Tiangui eldest princess to the capital, but she didn't know that it was Aijia who secretly did it." It was a lot of pushing hands that finally made her make up her mind to bring Tiangui to the capital."

"Look, the sky is precious, the title given to her by the late emperor is so enviable..."

"The empress dowager...why did you tell the ministers these things?" Lin Fang felt a little uneasy.
