Chapter 407: Have You Paid Your Taxes Yet?
Xu Qing slept until the afternoon before waking up. When she woke up, she not only had a headache after drinking strong alcohol, but also had a backache that was obviously caused by being tortured for a long time after falling asleep.
Su Qian was sleeping soundly with her pillow on Xu Qing's arm.
Xu Qing stretched out his other hand to support Own's waist under the quilt.
Wait... something seems wrong...
What about own clothes? !
What about the lady's clothes? !
But Xu Qing was forced to be overworked at this time. Although he just woke up, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he closed his eyes again.
...
approaching evening
When Xu Qing woke up, Su Qian had disappeared, leaving only some elegant fragrance lingering in her arms.
Imperial Garden
Li Mingyue looked at Su Qian who was drinking tea sitting across from her, and asked worriedly, "I've been sleeping from noon until night, will this nap be too long? Nothing will happen, right? Sister Su, Do you want to ask the doctor to come and have a look?"
Long Bing'er beside Li Mingyue also frowned worriedly: "In the past, didn't Xu Qing only sleep for half an hour during her afternoon nap? Now she has slept for two and a half hours and still hasn't woken up. It's really unreasonable." .”
Hearing what Li Mingyue and Long Binger said, Su Qian pretended to be drinking tea, covering up a little blush on her face: "Husband, he's a little tired today, he's fine."
Li Mingyue and Long Bing'er couldn't ask any further when they heard what Su Qian said. Su Qian's wife said she was fine, so it should be fine.
kitchen
Xu Qing supported her waist, put down the fan, and poured the medicinal liquid from the pottery pot into the fine porcelain bowl beside the ground.
Next to Xu Qing, Xuan'er smashed the ice in the clay pot with a pestle.
Xuan'er was smashing the ice while looking at Xu Qing who was drinking the brown liquid medicine, with admiration on her face, my uncle is so powerful, he can drink so much bitter medicine every day, if it was changed to Xuan'er and Miss, it would definitely not work, Xuan'er My son and miss are very afraid of suffering.
After Xu Qing finished drinking the medicinal liquid in the clay pot, she looked at Xuan'er and said, "Xuan'er, bring another portion of the medicinal materials just now."
Xuan'er was surprised and said, "Guye, do you still want to drink medicine?"
Xu Qing shook his head: "No, uncle is drinking water."
He didn't want to do this either, mainly because the wife at home was too difficult to serve...
In the evening, after eating with Long Binger and Li Mingyue, Xu Qing returned to the bedroom, thinking about going to bed early today.
When Xu Qing pushed the door and entered, she saw Su Qian sitting at the table again, with two glasses of wine already poured on the round table beside Su Qian.
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing, smiled and said, "Husband, how about we have another drink?"
Xu Qing turned pale immediately and shook his head, but obviously, with his three-legged kung fu, Su Qian could easily deal with it with one hand.
This evening, I was forced to drink Hebei wine again.
Xu Qing regretted it very much.
Last time, I shouldn't have to drag my wife to drink some wine.
It's over now, the lady has already tested her own drinking capacity.
Xu Qing understood the lady's thoughts very well, and it was because the concubine Shizi was pregnant that stimulated her.
Today's lady has forgotten all the things she said before. No age, physical problems, developmental problems, these can't be an obstacle for her to have a child.
When Xu Qing woke up the next day, although he had a headache, his physical condition was much better than yesterday.
Continue to thank the father-in-law of the father-in-law.
Xu Qing decided to hurry up and ask Xiao Ye for a thousand-year-old ginseng to make up for it next time.
Today, the strong smell of medicinal herbs came from the kitchen as always, and the little maid who was planning to make mung bean smoothie was smoked out.
At this moment, in the kitchen, only the lovely Xiao Ruxue sat motionless on the bench and watched Xu Qing brew the medicine, without any distaste.
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing who was drying the concoction bowl after bowl and asked curiously: "Xu Qing Xu Qing, isn't this concoction bitter?"
Xu Qing shook his head: "Of course it's hard, but it's hard."
Xiao Ruxue became even more curious: "You still drink bowl after bowl of such bitter concoction like water? Aren't you afraid of bitterness?"
Xu Qing sighed: "Drink something bitter now, so that your body won't suffer in the evening. Well, let's go out and play. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Xiao Ruxue thought for a while and said, "Can I have a taste of this medicine?"
Xu Qing wondered: "What did you try? This medicine is very bitter."
Xiao Ruxue looked at him and said, "I just want to taste how bitter the medicine you drink is..."
After all, Xu Qing still didn't agree to Xiao Ruxue's request. Originally, Xiao Ruxue herself was as afraid of taking medicine as Su Qian, so she still wanted to drink bitter medicine?
Today's little girl is still a child at heart, after deciding who to like, she can't wait to hang her heart on that person.
At the beginning, Su Qian was fooled by a plate of sweet and sour short ribs, and then this little girl was fooled by grilled fish...
Oh, sin
Seeing Xu Qing's refusal, Xiao Ruxue was dissatisfied: "Why don't you let me drink it? I'm not afraid of hardship, so I can't do it."
Xu Qing pushed Xiao Ruxue out and said: "It's useless if you drink it. On your condition, after drinking it, you will have energy and have nothing to do. Go and play with your sister Su."
Although Xiao Ruxue didn't understand what Xu Qing meant, she still said stubbornly: "I can help you, don't push me away."
But Xu Qing ignored the little girl and pushed her out.
She even came to help... She came, and it was worse for me...
too frightening……
Just when Xu Qing finished drinking the medicine and walked out of the room, he saw Xiao Ye walking in, Xu Qing asked curiously: "Brother Xiao is not at home to take care of your wife, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Ye waved his hands and sighed: "Oh, don't mention it, it's good that Wan'er is protected by the concubine and the empress now, I want to see each other is very difficult... let alone take care of her."
"Let's not talk about this matter anymore. It was my father who asked me to invite you over, saying that it was to calculate the share of the silver at the colored glaze exhibition."
For the money, Xu Qing is interested.
Without further ado, riding in the carriage with Xiao Ye is going to the Palace of Xian Wang.
Xianwang Mansion
a gazebo
The Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing who was about to salute, and waved his hands: "Sit down, there is no need for these empty salutes."
After Xu Qing sat down, the conversation between the two entered the topic.
King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked, "How was the sales of colored glaze at the colored glaze exhibition yesterday?"
Xu Qing put the three-cent bank note on the table and said: "It has been calculated. Yesterday, the glass was sold for nearly 700,000 taels. After deducting the 500,000 taels of military expenses, there is still 200,000 taels left. The prince will get 50% of it." 110,000 taels, your majesty will get 10,000 taels for half of the price, and 80,000 taels for the minister."
King Xian nodded, put Xu Qing on the table and put away the bank note that belonged to own, the emperor's... Forget that he is still young, I will keep it for him first, and give it to him when he grows up.
The virtuous king, who had put the two banknotes in his pocket, looked at the stack of banknotes in Xu Qing's hand, and suddenly asked, "By the way, have you paid your taxes yet?"
