Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 201: The Little Tang Family, Ridiculous

When he returned to Luoyang City, someone came out to greet Xia Lin before he even entered the city. He didn't know about other places, but in Luoyang, his standards were very high.

The current Luoyang garrison commander was the former deputy of Hong. He was very familiar with Xia Lin and even went out of the city in person to welcome the old leader's brother.

"I just came back to take care of some personal matters. Captain Huang, please don't be so polite."

"No way." Huang Shoubei smiled and put his hand on Xia Lin's shoulder, holding his hand with the other hand, appearing extremely enthusiastic: "Luoyang can be what it is today, and I, Huang, can be what I am today, all thanks to Lord Xia. I was too busy with work to greet you before, so you must treat Lord Xia well today."

As for socializing, it’s all about making sure everyone, both the host and the guests, have a good time.

When we returned to our residence at night, it was still Tang Baoer's villa. Because Tang Baoer set out a few days earlier than Xia Lin, she arrived early in the morning.

After taking a shower, Xia Lin returned to the room drunk, but Tang Baoer hadn't gone to bed yet and was checking the accounts on an abacus.

Xia Lin staggered to the bed and lay down: "It's so late, come and rest quickly."

"Not yet. The accounts are wrong. The business in Luoyang only made a profit of three hundred taels last year. It's really interesting."

"Isn't this normal? If I were them, I would do the same. Who would work hard to help you make money? The money that falls into my pocket must be mine." Xia Lin yawned: "Come on, come on."

Tang Baoer sighed, closed the account book, and went to the bed: "It seems that they are determined to force me to make concessions."

Xia Lin's hand had already slipped into Tang Bao'er's pajamas, and after gently rubbing and picking, Tang Bao'er pushed it down: "Don't do anything weird for now, help me make a decision."

"Say it." Xia Lin sat up and hugged Tang Bao'er's waist from behind, leaning close to her neck and sniffing: "Tang Bao'er smells so good."

Miss Tang smiled and patted Xia Lin's thigh, then said, "You know, it's extremely difficult for a woman to run a family. It was okay when the family was in trouble, but now that the Tang family is gradually getting better, they want me to give up the family business. They say that I am a woman, and the family business will sooner or later belong to outsiders. They also say that I am now old enough to get married, and it is not right for me to follow you, so they want me to find a good family to marry."

"Fuck." Xia Lin cursed, "How dare they?"

Tang Baoer chuckled: "They are right, you can't marry me. I am twenty years old now, an old maid. They told me that if one day you abandon me like a worn-out shoe, I will not even have a name, and by then I will be too old to even get married."

"Ah, after all, it's because you made money for the Tang family, and they don't know how much I helped you, so now these people are inflated. What? Becoming a concubine is awesome?" Xia Lin sat up straight. "Do they mean that they think being a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue can bring higher profits to your Tang family?"

Tang Bao smiled and didn't comment. But in fact, she knew very well in her heart that this was the reality. After all, not only could Xia Lin not help the Tang family openly, but she even had to extort some money from her every now and then, so that she could drag the Tang family into the open to make money.

Let alone, just in Jiangnan Road, Tang Baoer's Tang Family Business is already the second largest business in the entire Jiangnan Road. The largest business is naturally the business under Prince Teng. The monopoly of the salt and iron business is naturally incomparable, but being able to become the second largest is already telling.

No way, no way, could it be that the people of the Tang family thought that this achievement could only be accomplished by Tang Baoer alone?

Although I'm not looking down on women, given the current era, although it's 100% impossible for a woman to achieve results, the difficulty is ten or a hundred times that of a man. Especially for a beautiful and young woman like Tang Baoer, there's no telling what kind of bullying she will suffer.

But they didn't ask what Tang Bao'er's status and treatment was in Fuliang? Not to mention the merchants, even the officials who greeted her would dare to disrespect her. Could it be that it was because Tang Bao'er was full of righteousness that the evil dared not touch her?
And the business she did with Fuliang, just the two tribute franchises under her control brought her huge profits. Could it be that the people in the Tang family thought that the two types of tribute from the Tang family were obtained because their own things were good enough?

That's right, it's because Xia Lin is in the dark and they can't see him, so they think Tang Baoer is useless for hanging out with a county magistrate all day.

"Okay." Tang Baoer turned around and came to Xia Lin and kissed him on the chin: "Don't be angry. You always told me before that eight out of ten people in the world are stupid, and there are only one or two smart people. Don't get angry with these stupid people."

Xia Lin lay down, and Tang Baoer continued, "I'm going home tomorrow, so you should take a good rest here. You've been exhausted these days."

"Ah."

Xia Lin responded, and Tang Baoer suddenly turned her head to look at him, then she climbed onto the bed using her hands and feet, and whispered in Xia Lin's ear: "After all, we've been traveling so long, so we can stay one night here, right? I saw that the little man on the tea can looked like a puppy..."

When she said this, Tang Baoer's face was already red. Although they were not an old married couple, it was the first time that she took the initiative to use such bold words. At the end, she said with a bit of shyness and a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I want to try..."

How could I bear this? Not to mention the fatigue from the journey, even a lumbar muscle strain would be unacceptable. However, this is fun, but the noise is much louder than usual, and it is even more dewy. I wonder how many people around can sleep.

The next day, Tang Baoer looked rosy when she left. But when Xia Lin got up and saw Lao Zhang and Dong Niang, he found that they both looked obviously tired. They were sitting outside having breakfast. When Lao Zhang saw Xia Lin coming out, he couldn't even open his mouth. You could tell from the dark circles under his eyes that he was tired.

Dong Niang was fine, but she looked soft and weak, and seemed to be exhausted.

The servant below brought food to Xia Lin. He sat there, looked at Lao Zhang and then at Dong Niang, and laughed: "Did you two go out to steal last night?" Lao Zhang looked up at him weakly: "What would I steal as a thief? People in Luoyang are really rude. They work until late at night. Now they finally finish the work, but the damn cock crowed. They really don't give thieves any chance to survive."

"Okay, okay, okay, I might be back late today, go to Yichun Tower and find a girl to relieve your sexual desire."

"Fuck it, I want to sleep."

After saying this, Lao Zhang wiped his mouth and went back into the house. Dong Niang sat there staring at Xia Lin. After a long while, she managed to utter: "Be moderate."

"Thank you."

Xia Lin stood up after he finished speaking. "I'm going to go out and do something. You're familiar with Luoyang, so have fun by yourself. Do you have any money on you?"

"No."

Xia Lin sneered and handed her a promissory note for five hundred taels. "Whenever I ask you, you always say you don't have any money. Do I look like a rich guy?"

Dong Niang was quick to hide the money in her pocket: "Thank you, sir."

Originally, Xia Lin wanted to correct her for calling her benefactor incorrectly, but by now Dong Niang had already disappeared, and God knew where she had gone.

But he didn't have much time to care about what she was doing. Xia Lin first went to the Luoyang camp and found the general there: "General Fang, lend me a few soldiers."

General Fang was also familiar with Xia Lin. He had been Xia Lin's assistant during the defense of Luoyang. When he was asked to borrow a few soldiers, he turned around and shouted to the parade ground, "Come on, some strong ones."

After a while, the strongest men in the camp arrived. Not only was there Xia Lin's old acquaintance, the shield soldier Xiao Shunzi, but also the flag bearer of the Luoyang camp, the young general Xiao Lizi, and the eagle archer Batu.

These three people, a shield soldier, a flag bearer and a eagle shooter. It is no exaggeration to say that the individual combat power of these three people is already the ceiling in the Luoyang camp. Compared with them, Xia Lin is like a little chicken.

"Wow, Lao Fang, you are really nice. You gave me some of the strongest ones right away."

"People of our own don't use those polite words." General Fang waved his hand and said, "Especially the flag bearer, Xiao Lizi, who just came to us a few days ago and is incredibly fierce. But he eats too much. How about you make him a guard?"

"Come on, I'll take all three, okay?"

General Fang then chuckled and said, "It's definitely not possible for others to ask for it, but we are the ones who asked for it, so just take it."

After saying that, he kicked Xiao Shunzi on the butt: "You three still don't thank Master Xia. You don't know how comfortable it is to follow him."

The three young men expressed their gratitude, and Xia Lin glanced at the time: "I'm going to run some business now, and I'll come back later to have a drink with you, Mr. Fang."

"I'm afraid you'll crawl under the table!" Lao Fang laughed, "Then I won't send you off."

When Xia Lin went out of the door, he looked at the three tough guys. He suddenly felt like Cao Cao, with three Dian Weis following him. People on the street looked at him and walked around him.

"Very good." Xia Lin nodded: "Have you had breakfast?"

"We haven't eaten yet." Xiao Shunzi is most familiar with Xia Lin: "Master Xia wants to treat us to a meal?"

"Xia Lin pointed to the steamed buns beside him and said, "Eat as much as you can."

What a guy! After saying this, Xia Lin saw why Lao Fang said that he couldn't afford to support these three people. They were really good eaters. Each of them had a tray of steamed buns as a base, and then they could eat a bowl of noodles and five eggs. Finally, they could drink a bowl of rice wine...

This is just breakfast, what would it be like if it were a full meal...

But Xia Lin thought it was good. There was nothing else in Fuliang, but there was plenty of food. Moreover, this was a flag bearer, a shield soldier and a eagle shooter. No matter who was given this, he would be treated as a treasure. He was given this because he was well-connected in Luoyang City. If Cao Cao really came, he would be like three Dian Wei.

"are you full?"

Xiao Shunzi wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full! Sir, who do you think we should beat up today?"
