Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 66 Trend
There is no silver 300 taels here!
Seeing Dong Shuzhen's little expression, so vivid, did not harm Feng Han's consciousness at all, and he was still doing mischief here...

Zhu Xiuyuan was so angry.

He raised the hand holding the food box and moved it aside, directly into Xia Wu's arms.

Xia Wu stood nearby and was "bumped" by the food box. His face was blank, but he subconsciously stretched out his hands to hug the food box.

Zhu Xiuyuan's hand holding the food box loosened and he withdrew.

Xia Wu immediately felt the weight of the food box, and at the same time her expression suddenly dawned, and she realized that her uncle meant for her to help hold the food box.

So she immediately hugged it tightly to prevent it from falling.

"Give me your hand."

With his hands free, Zhu Xiuyuan felt relaxed and sat directly on the edge of Dong Shuzhen's bed, extending a hand to Dong Shuzhen with his palms spread out.

Dong Shuzhen tilted her head, a little confused, more shy, but still very obedient. She took out her little hand from the quilt and placed it in Zhu Xiuyuan's "huge" palm.

At the moment of contact, apart from the inexplicable heart palpitations, I also felt so warm!

After Zhu Xiuyuan touched it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows——

It’s so cold!

As cold as a popsicle!
Zhu Xiuyuan sighed, grabbed Dong Shuzhen's little hand and stuffed it back between the quilts.

"What's the matter, husband?"

Seeing Zhu Xiuyuan sighing, Dong Shuzhen couldn't help but asked curiously.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at her. She only had one head exposed, her face was crimson, her big eyes were bright, and there was an inexplicable brilliance flowing around her.

"Madam, now that you are sick, you are most afraid of the cold. You must keep your hands, feet, and limbs warm. You can't get cold anymore to avoid aggravating your condition." Zhu Xiuyuan warned.

"Okay, okay, husband, why do you look like dad? He is a martial arts practitioner, and his body and bones are in good shape... Besides, he has taken medicine, should he be fine?"

"Be obedient, or I won't take you out to play in the future!"

Zhu Xiuyuan had no choice but to resort to his ultimate ultimate move.

It's so shameful. If he doesn't use this trick, he probably won't be able to suppress his little lady.

"Goodbye, husband~~" Dong Shuzhen pursed her lips and almost jumped up from the couch, but was naturally pushed back by Zhu Xiuyuan.

"I know it!" Dong Shuzhen was unhappy.

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded slightly, looked at Xia Wu again, and said: "Xia Wu, you have to take good care of your wife, this cold disease can be serious or small, not to mention... In short, you can't hide the disease and avoid the doctor, understand?"

"Yes, uncle, I understand!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and looked at Dong Shuzhen, who had only one head exposed. This time, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Because out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a scene that made people laugh and cry——

Dong Shuzhen actually made a face at him and stuck out her tongue!
When Zhu Xiuyuan looked at her, she immediately returned to normal, looking cute and cute, with a well-behaved look on her face.

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, stood up and said, "Okay, you guys can have a good rest at home. I'm going to the Yamen now."

"Husband, I want to eat Mrs. Liu's scallion egg pancake!"

"Okay, I'll bring it for you when my husband comes back!"

"Husband, Xia Wu said that she wants to eat peach blossom shaomai!"

"it is good……"

"Husband, Qiu Wen quietly told me last night that she wanted to eat willow candy."

"Okay, I see..."

……

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Xiuyuan arrived at the state government office with his father-in-law.

Although the carriage stopped at the gate of the state government office, Zhu Xiuyuan did not get off immediately. Instead, he waited for his father-in-law to enter the government office before he jumped off the carriage.

Zhu Xiuyuan's balls ached. This was all the aftermath of the last lie.

……

Kurasao.

Zhu Xiuyuan’s room is on duty.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat at his desk and stared at a "chart" on the desk!
This is really a chart, to be precise, it is a "columnar trend chart", hand-painted with a brush on a piece of rice paper, with several large characters written on the header: Jiangzhou Taxation Trend Chart. "Sir, this picture..."

In front of Zhu Xiuyuan's case, there is a scribe standing on one left and one on the right.

One is Liu Wentong, the superior of Cancao, and the other is a "data processing expert" promoted by Zhu Xiuyuan from among many scribes, nicknamed "Lao Gao".

The person who hesitated to ask these half-sentences was Cangcao Shangzuo Liu Wentong.

I saw him half-stretching his hand, pointing at the chart, mumbling at the corner of his mouth, and after saying four words, he could no longer say anything else.

Because even if he "asks" such a simple question, he doesn't know how to ask it, or what to ask.

The chart drawn by Zhu Xiuyuan himself was something they had never heard of or seen!
However, Liu Wentong thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate. Asking...or should I say asking for advice? If you only asked for half of the advice, it would be disrespectful to the superior!

So Liu Wen looked at the header of the chart, staring at the words, trying to find a breakthrough in the "inscription" of the chart.

And then... no more.

Classmate Liu Wentong gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm. Judging from the twitching corners of his mouth, he was already suffering from suppressing his laughter.

Zhu Xiuyuan's face turned dark. He knew why Liu Wentong was holding back his smile.

Because the big characters on the front of the table were written in his own handwriting.

The brush strokes are soft, pretentious and graceful, as if they were written by a woman!
A grown man writes like a woman's handwriting. This... is so funny!
Especially for junior officials like them, who deal with pen and ink all day long, commonly known as "knife and pen officials", in fact, their handwriting is generally good, and there is even a popular font among them...

Therefore, they are particularly sensitive to things like "writing" and "handwriting".

Zhu Xiuyuan pursed his lips. He was also helpless. Who made his calligraphy from enlightenment to proficiency all under the guidance of his wife!

"Shangzuo Liu, do you have any questions?"

Zhu Xiuyuan pretended that nothing happened and that he didn't know anything, and asked Liu Wentong seriously.

Resolving embarrassment is actually very simple. Just treat embarrassing things as "normal". As long as you don't take it personally, others will acquiesce.

"Sir... what is... a trend chart?"

Liu Wentong stuttered when he asked this question. He almost finished speaking through clenched teeth. He seemed to be about to lose control and laugh at any time...

On the other hand, Lao Gao has a serious face and a serious face...

The gap between people is so big, even bigger than the gap between people and pigs!

"Look, the vertical... lines on this chart represent the tax amount. The horizontal lines represent the year. I mark the tax amount for each year, and then we have these 'pillars'. Draw a line based on the height of these pillars, and the trend reflected by this line is the change in Jiangzhou's taxation over the years."

Zhu Xiuyuan explained seriously and in a serious manner.

Under Zhu Xiuyuan's serious and serious expression, Liu Wentong gradually stopped laughing.

Liu Wentong and Lao Gao are not stupid people, and they have not been idle these days. They are dealing with all kinds of "data" almost every day, plus Zhu Xiuyuan instills new concepts into them from time to time...

Under the influence of multiple factors, fortunately, they understood it all at once.

"Although this trend line is curved, if we look at it as a whole, we can see some clues - our tax revenue in Jiangzhou has dropped every year!"

Lao Gao stared at the downward trend line and spoke expressionlessly.

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at Lao Gao approvingly and said in his heart: "Yes, I like serious people!"

"Yes, although I just came to Cangcao not long ago, I have noticed something abnormal in some aspects before. The taxes in Jiangzhou are really getting worse year by year... After looking at this chart, I learned that , it turns out that the taxes in our Jiangzhou have dropped so shockingly!"

Liu Wentong also became serious, but he avoided the header of the chart.

So he calls it "limited seriousness."

"Look at this again."

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled, turned over the chart, and revealed the next chart.

Liu Wentong resisted the urge to look at this chart. To be precise, it was the header!

In fact, Liu Wentong took a quick glance and took a rough look. It turned out that this was also a "column trend chart", a twisted line, and a shocking year-by-year decline.

Liu Wen was curious, what does this chart represent?

At an accidental glance, he saw Lao Gao next to him staring at the chart, so he asked: "What has dropped again?"

"The number of households in Jiangzhou that pay taxes every year!" After a long time, Lao Gao responded lightly.
