Chapter 428 Liu Sheng: I will be your son
“No vegetables.”
When Xin An asked Liu Sheng to eat vegetables for the umpteenth time, he finally resisted a little. Xin An raised his eyes and said, "Don't you know that you are fleeing? Why are you still picky?"
It's really hard to say about fate. If Liu Sheng is really the princess's child, not to mention he was born rich, he was able to meet the Xin family even when he fell into trouble. The Xin family is rich and kind, and never treats servants harshly. They let him cook on the big stove and eat with his mouth full of oil all day long.
Now he is still being picky on the road, and happens to meet the rich girl.
Liu Sheng ate half a bowl of vegetables with difficulty. He put down his chopsticks and took a bite of a dessert. His father said that it is not easy to eat when you are away from home. You should eat as much as you can when you can be full. You must not be polite, because what you eat belongs to you. If you fatten yourself up, you can last two more days when you don't have food or water.
Don't be falsely polite.
Seeing Xin An still staring at him, he said softly, "The food is finished."
"Um."
Xin An didn't make things difficult for him. He remembered that Xin Huan also refused to eat vegetables when he was a child. His throat was like a sieve. He mixed a little bit of vegetables with the rice and fed it to him. In the end, he swallowed the rice, but the vegetable strands were spit out. He didn't know how he did it.
The image of Tang Xuan as a child suddenly appeared in her mind. He was her son in her previous life, so well-behaved and never picky.
And Ke'er, the grandson who died in her arms, was such a lovely, delicate little baby. When he encountered a dish he didn't like, he would pout and wait for coaxing. After being coaxed, he would eat the dish in one mouthful, then ask with a smile: Grandma, is Ke'er powerful? "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing her crying, Liu Sheng hurriedly put down half of the dessert and asked, "Did I eat too much?"
Xin An came back to his senses and realized that he had shed tears. He forced a smile and said, "My eyes suddenly feel uncomfortable. You have already eaten half of this snack. Eat the remaining half as well."
"Really?"
Liu Sheng's eyes sparkled, and Xin An gave a condition, "But you have to drink water after eating."
This kid doesn't like drinking water.
"good."
Half a piece of dessert was picked up again. Seeing him eating the dessert with a smile on his face, Xin An's eyes flashed slightly. Tang Rong deserved to die!
"Boy, you're eating and drinking in front of me like this, aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out?"
Liu Sheng looked at her, then smiled and shook his head, "I'm not worth anything."
“You’re worth money.”
Xin An held up two fingers and said, "A fat kid like you can be sold for twenty taels of silver."
Yagyu was shocked, "I'm only worth twenty taels?"
His mother said he was priceless.
That little look pleased Xin An, who continued to tease him with a smile, "That's an exaggeration. If you wander around for a while, it will only be worth fifteen taels."
Liu Sheng was frightened, "I can't work, no one will buy from me."
"have."
Xin An said that there would be childless couples who would buy him, blind people who couldn't see the road would buy him, and some wealthy families would buy him to be a servant. "You are very useful."
Liu Sheng rushed over and hugged Xin An's arm, "Then buy me, and I will be your son."
My father said that when you go out, you have to be alert and when something happens, you have to go to the person who looks the richest. Even though he may not be a good person, someone who is too poor to afford food may sell him, so as long as the money is enough, it doesn't matter where he is sold.
But the rich people most likely want to take advantage of him, and if they want to take advantage of him, they have to give him some benefits first. He can then take the opportunity to eat and drink well to support himself and prepare to escape.
He had met a group of people before he was picked up by Brother Xin. They looked fierce and had no money. He hid in the grass and did not come out. When Brother Xin appeared, he looked at him carefully. Brother Xin was well dressed and good-looking. Although he pinched his face, he gave him meat to eat and bought him clothes on the way.
Xin An had no idea that this silent man was actually a cunning person. He looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I am only a little older than you. I can't give birth to you."
"I'll be your brother."
Xin An's arms were held tighter, "You raised me, and I will see you to the end."
"Let go."

“No.”
My father said that when necessary, you must be shameless.
In the capital city, as the repayment deadline set by the emperor approached, the wealthy families that owed money became more and more noisy. Each family asked their elders to cry out in front of them and kneel at the palace gate, as if to force the emperor to give in.
Some people even resorted to passive resistance in order to intimidate the emperor. Liao Zhi, who had fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses, was undoubtedly the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand. No one could act rashly in the area under his jurisdiction. The deputy commanders of the Beiya Army, including Tang Mo and Zhuang Shi, only rested for two hours a day to ensure that nothing happened in their respective areas. Those aristocratic families who wanted to incite the people to make trouble would be caught if they took action.
Those who try to take advantage of the situation will not end well. Tang Mo is busy dealing with incidents that may arise at any time every day. The Duke of Enguo's Mansion is on the street under his jurisdiction. He is a royal relative and has been arrogant for many years because of his status as the Queen's mother's family. He spends money like water on weekdays, and the money he borrows from the national treasury is only slightly less than that of the crown prince.
Today, the Beiya Army was patrolling the streets when they were deliberately provoked by people from the Duke of En's Mansion. Tang Mo was also affected and was cursed at by many unpleasant words.
Tang Mo, who was full of anger, said that he could not bear it anymore, and then found Liao Zhi. After the two discussed for half an hour, Liao Zhi went into the palace. The next day, there were fierce rumors on the streets, saying that those noble families relied on the glory of their ancestors to erode the foundation of the court and squandered the money from the national treasury. Where did the money from the national treasury come from?
That was paid by the people. Borrowing money from the treasury means borrowing money from the people! The rich and the poor have never coexisted. The incited people became more and more angry, thinking that they were struggling to make ends meet, while those dignitaries took the taxes they paid and squandered them wantonly, looking down on them and bullying them at will.
Then I heard that the emperor was going to allocate money from the national treasury to rebuild the two cities in the northwest of the city. However, as the war was going on, the money in the national treasury had been borrowed by the powerful and wealthy, so it could not be allocated.
As soon as the news came out, it was like pouring a bowl of water into a boiling oil pan, and it exploded instantly.
You have to know that the capital is huge, with millions of households, and the east and west cities are extremely prosperous, but the northwest cities are deserted because of the bad roads. The people in the northwest are generally poorer than those in the east and west. Now that the emperor has finally remembered, the money is gone. How can the people living in the northwest of the city tolerate this? If their own interests are involved, they must clap their hands and stand up.
Soon after, many common people gathered at the doorsteps of those high-ranking officials and demanded that they pay back the money. All the affairs of their ancestors were dug up, and many victims appeared, all of whom were people who had been bullied and oppressed by the powerful. These people took all kinds of evidence to the government office in the capital to demand justice. The court was in an uproar and the emperor was furious. In just seven days, more than a hundred people were sent to prison.
Those who had been passive and lazy in an attempt to intimidate the emperor were all dismissed. As soon as they left, their vacant positions were filled on the same day. There was no other way. There were many people waiting to be replaced in the capital, and about a hundred people passed the imperial examination this spring. In this world, no one can do without you.
