After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

There are no secrets in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The discussion between the ministers and the emperor spread throughout the capital on the second day.

The price of lard in Kyoto rose immediately, increasing by three cents.

There is no shortage of complaints among the people in the market.

This scene seemed to confirm the adults' speculation.

For a time, General Gu Nanxi's operations in Yunzhou became the focus of everyone's attention again.

Whether in teahouses or taverns, guests drank fruit wine and talked about this matter at length, as if they would be out of touch if they did not express an opinion or two.

However, the students of the academy felt that the spring was so beautiful that they should not miss it, so they went to the outskirts of Beijing in groups to enjoy the spring.

The spring water fills the spring pond, and the spring grass grows.

Spring people drink spring wine, and spring birds make the sound of spring.

At the invitation of Geng Silang, the students of Baichuan Academy went to Gengjia Village for an outing.

It was spring, and the students naturally could not sit in a carriage that was wrapped on all sides.

Ox carts carrying a group of students in scholar's robes were walking through the streets.

Occasionally, when students from the two colleges meet, they will nod to each other, or even recite poems to each other, attracting passers-by to stop and applaud.

"Little sister, take a break first. Don't look at your account book all day long. Give yourself a day to relax once in a while!"

Su Xuanming looked at Su Yunyan helplessly.

While other students were enjoying the beautiful spring scenery, Su Yunyan was sitting cross-legged on the cart, holding an account book in her left hand and an abacus in her right hand, concentrating fully and not being distracted by external things.

Su Yunyan worked with both hands at the same time. The account books were flipping through the pages and the abacus was ticking like heavy rain.

She said without even looking up, "No, my mother entrusted me with such an important task, I can't let her down! Big brother, don't worry about me, just concentrate on your studies!"

"Alas." Su Xuanming sat down next to Su Yunyan and helped her. "I originally wanted to ask you to come and relax, but I didn't expect that it would cause trouble for you."

Su Yunyan: "Brother, you study hard day and night, and you need to take a break. For me, seeing money coming in is a break!"

Su Xuanming didn't say anything, but helped Su Yunyan to settle the accounts. The more he calculated, the more shocked he became.

The profit of this fruit wine is so terrifying!

No wonder the emperor and the court are drooling over the fruit wine!

Su Xuanming frowned tightly and said, "Little sister, does mother still plan to expand the production of fruit wine?"

"Ok!"

Su Xuanming's heart sank. "I think the profit from this wine is already big enough, why should we continue?"

Su Yunyan often goes to Yunzhou, so naturally she knows more about the situation in Yunzhou.

Su Yunyan sighed: "Because the cost in Yunzhou is even higher!"

Su Xuanming pursed his lips. It seemed that Yunzhou's financial situation was more serious than he had imagined. When he thought about writing a letter to his mother asking for money, he couldn't help feeling ashamed.

Su Xuanming glanced at his classmates who were full of energy and talking loudly, and made a decision in his heart.

When everyone was walking through the South Gate, preparing to leave the city, they happened to meet the students from Songshan Academy.

"Hey, isn't this our famous Su Dalang? Why don't you go help your mother make money and still have the mind to play around?" Li Shaoyan fanned himself and glanced at Su Xuanming, with a look of provocation written all over his face.

The students of Baichuan Academy restrained the smiles on their faces, and stared at Li Shaoyan with stern faces!

He is the first person I met today who came to cause trouble!

Su Xuanming sorted out the account book and looked at Su Yunyan worriedly.

Seeing that she was completely immersed in settling accounts and didn't care about Li Shaoyan at all, Su Xuanming curled the corners of his lips.

"Brother Shaoyan, the purple gold crown inlaid with gems on your head, the golden headband with two dragons fighting for a pearl between your eyebrows, and the red arrow sleeves with two-color golden butterflies and flowers on your body must have been given by others, not bought by General Longwu. General Longwu's salary is enough to support a large family, but it is definitely not enough to support such a luxurious life."

Su Xuanming looked sincere, as if what he said was the truth and he had no other intention.

Li Shaoyan's sneer was frozen on his face. He knew very well whether his father had taken money that he shouldn't have, but how could he show his weakness in front of so many people?

"You don't have to worry about what's going on with my family. At least my father didn't compete with the people for profit, unlike your mother, who made the people unable to afford lard and made them suffer."

The onlookers who were attracted by the commotion began to discuss in low voices when they heard this.

"Are they talking about the fact that General Gu Nanxi bought up a large amount of lard in order to sell fruit wine?"

"That's right! I don't know what the relationship is between fruit wine and lard, but the price of lard in Kyoto has indeed increased because of it."

"I bought a pound of it for only 60 wen the other day. If I bought more than 3 jin, I could save 2 wen. When I asked again today, the price had risen to 65 wen. No bargaining is allowed."

"Oh my, Yunzhou's affairs can affect our capital. I can't imagine how high the price of lard in Yunzhou will rise!"

"Hey, in the end, it's us poor people who are affected anyway."

Su Yunyan closed the account book, put down the abacus, stood up, and glanced at everyone. When she saw that the discussions had subsided, she spoke loudly.

"Yunzhou is buying up a lot of lard, this is not a bad thing!"

"Of course it's not a bad thing for you!" Li Shaoyan snorted coldly, "It's your mansion that benefits, but it's the people who pay more money and pay for the high oil prices."

Su Yunyan shook her head regretfully: "I thought that as the head of the Songshan Academy, Mr. Li should be able to govern the world. I never expected that your knowledge is just like this. If you can't figure out the reason, go back and ask your father."

Li Shaoyan was not convinced: "Are you just being mysterious? In fact, you don't even know what the benefit is!"

Su Yunyan clicked her tongue twice: "I'm not your mother, why should I teach you? Apprentices have to learn a craft and work respectfully for their masters for three years. Students who want to enter the academy have to pay tuition. Why should I tell you?"

Su Yunyan's next words were directed to the other onlookers: "As for my mother, what kind of person is she? The heavens are watching, the earth is watching, and the people of Yunzhou are watching. Anyway, as far as I know, Yunzhou is very good. Think about it, everyone, has my mother ever done anything that makes the people of the world ashamed?"

After saying this, Su Yunyan didn't even look at Li Shaoyan, and sat down to continue counting the accounts.

"Let's go! Summer insects cannot talk about ice, and don't let some people with conjunctivitis disturb our interest!" Su Xuanming shouted.

The students of Baichuan Academy were all smiling, as if nothing that had just happened had happened. They didn't even glance at Li Shaoyan and others when they passed by them.

This kind of disregard is the most painful.

Li Shaoyan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes showing undisguised viciousness! Oh, wait until Gu Nanxi is attacked by the people, and then see how arrogant these two siblings are!
