Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

No sales channels? The whole city is going crazy for them!

Immoral and scandalous? A Hanlin Academy scholar personally endorses it!

"How can this be……"

Xu Youshan was completely shocked at this moment.

He had originally thought that although he had embezzled money, he was still Xu Yanrong's older brother, and the Lin family wouldn't kill him outright.

Most importantly, he has many years of experience in running and managing the cloth shop; it wouldn't be possible without him.

Li Lan has absolutely no business acumen.

But Li Lan's current record... is too amazing.

In that instant, he was utterly despondent!

"I'm relieved to have Li Lan in charge of the cloth shop."

Finally, Lin Zheng smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and said, "Money from brothels is still money. It's better than other officials using all sorts of methods to plunder the people's wealth."

He knew that the entire court had been driven mad during this period.

In order to meet the requirements of the Emperor's grand celebration, they were frantically plundering.

Not only elsewhere, but even in the capital city, complaints were boiling over.

Merchants were forced to pay commercial taxes, which had increased by 70-80%. Those who couldn't pay had all their properties confiscated. Scholars had to pay book taxes, and those traveling to the capital for the imperial examinations had to pay "exam fees." Ordinary families had to pay "door and window taxes" and "wedding taxes." And that wasn't enough; it was rumored that the court was also researching and preparing to introduce a "feces tax," meaning everyone would have to pay for defecating! ...

It's fair to say they've gone almost insane.

Lin Zheng has a good reputation and naturally doesn't want to get involved in these things. It would be perfect if Li Lan could resolve this matter through the cloth shop!

"It may not look good, but at least it's useful."

Xu Yanrong also spoke up.

"Alright, that's settled then. Ruoxue, you and Li Lan, quickly get the gifts for the Qingtian Ceremony done."

Lin Zhengdao.

Lin Ruobing nodded and left.

Before Lin Zheng could speak, Xu Youshan was already distraught. He left the Lin family alone and walked down the street. It was as if something had been taken away from him, and he suddenly burst into tears.

"Madam, my uncle is weeping bitterly in the street..."

Yingqiu said.

Xu Yanrong's face showed a look of pity, and she said:

"Go and see him. He's suffered such a blow; don't let him do anything foolish."

Yingqiu nodded and left.

Lin Zheng, however, held the clothes designed by Li Lan and looked at them for a long time before suddenly turning to his wife and asking, "Madam, do you really think these things are not good-looking?"

His eyes were smiling.

"Get out of here, these clothes are indecent..."

Speaking of which, her face was slightly flushed; she still possessed a captivating charm and was incredibly beautiful.

"Who would wear this if they were with their wife? Who would pretend to be respectable when they're bored?"

Lin Zheng put it away, and Xu Yanrong, seeing this, retorted, "I won't wear it!"

……

"Thirty thousand taels, that's a lot of money!"

Looking at the pile of silver notes, Lin Ruobing's eyes crinkled with joy, as if she had become a little miser: "Mine, all mine..."

"Have you found a buyer for the Qingyun fruit?"

Li Lan asked.

"It's settled, eight thousand taels per catty."

Li Lan nodded. In the current environment, the price wasn't too outrageous, so he handed Lin Ruobing a silver note containing 16,000 taels of silver.

Lin Ruobing took the silver note, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "Li Lan, could you give me some more money?"

"what happened?"

"I want to buy more, I need them for my cultivation..."

I also need to send some to my sister!

Li Lan smiled leisurely, held up her finger and said, "Buy one more jin. I want nine liang, but I'll give you one liang!"

What is Li Lan working so hard for? Isn't it all for the Qingyun Fruit!

However, since he was not a martial artist and not in that circle, he really couldn't find a seller and could only buy from Lin Ruobing.

Therefore, she should receive a share of the profits.

"Nine-one? You're too greedy!"

Lin Ruobing said, "No! It should be at least 64 points!"

Li Lan said leisurely, "Then I won't buy it. Anyway, the general told me to buy two catties."

"Oh no, no!"

She immediately became anxious and asked, "Is Sanqi alright now?"

Li Lan ignored her while drinking, saying, "My back and waist have been aching lately, ugh, I'm so tired..."

Lin Ruobing gritted her teeth, but had no choice. She stood up, grinding her little tiger teeth, and said, "You must be tired. You've worked hard..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender fingers and began to massage Li Lan's shoulders. The fragrance emanating from her body made Li Lan feel quite comfortable.
