After leaving, Xia Fan and his entourage lined up to enter the city in a very low-key manner, and then arranged for a blood attendant to enter the palace to report the news, and the rest turned around and went back to the Xia family mansion directly.

The time of leaving is not long, but the entire Xia family has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The people in power who originally belonged to the direct bloodline of the Xia family have been completely cleansed, and the entire Xia family has completely fallen into the control of the Qingyang City branch.

Whether it is the family force or the family business, Xia Fan's father, Xia Ya, completely controls it in his hands.

Especially with the departure of the ancestor of the Xia family, and before leaving, the instructions to the remaining direct descendants, coupled with the example that the former patriarch and others made with their lives, there was no longer any opposition to Xia Ya in the Xia family.

At the same time, Xia Ya itself is not blindly harsh and suppressed, in the process of governing the family, at the same time, he can also make good use of some gentle means, in the two years that Xia Fan did not come back before, a considerable number of people in the Xia family have been impressed by Xia Ya, and now there is no biggest obstacle, making Xia Ya control the speed of the entire Xia family in great strides.

When Xia Fan walked into the clan mansion with a group of blood servants, the Xia family servants who were originally planning to the mansion saluted and greeted each other for the first time.

The smarter one hurriedly ran in the direction of the patriarch's mansion in order to inform Xia Ya of the news of Xia Fan's return as soon as possible.

"Get up, do whatever you need to do, and ignore me."

Xia Fan waved his hand, and after letting all the servants who greeted him get up, he dismissed all the blood attendants, and let all the blood attendants go to rest separately, and then took Ye Yi in the direction of the patriarch's house.

Bai Xingshu and Yan Zi'an followed behind Xia Fan and Ye Yi on the left and right.

Along the way, because of the limited time of the calendar, Xia Fan did not take the time to teach Yan Zi'an anything about the Qin Dao, and basically any bit of free time was used to understand the inner domain through the calendar.

Yan Zi'an has no complaints about this.

In Yan Zi'an's words, as long as he can follow Xia Fan's side, he can feel that his understanding of the piano path is constantly improving.

Of course, for such a statement, Xia Fan only thinks that Yan Zi'an is talking nonsense.

"Coming back? You went to Beihuang County this time, and there was really a lot of trouble, and the upper-level officials of the entire Beihuang County were almost swept away, and the positions that were swept out of this were really a huge cake that no one could resist. However, His Majesty was arbitrary and handed over all the things to you, and you decided everything by yourself without any communication, you know this kind of practice...... How much hatred will it incur? ”

Xia Fan and the others had just stepped into Xia Ya's study, and Xia Ya, who was sitting in the study and looking at the family documents, said without raising his head.

The old butler stood behind Xia Ya as usual, but compared with before, the old butler at this time seemed to have no haze.

"Of course I know that a county king, dozens of city lords, plus officials in various cities, for any faction, this is a great opportunity for them to expand their influence and arrange their own manpower. Besides, I did all the wicked people, and even if they arranged for someone to go in, there would be no problem. Who wouldn't want to do such a good deed? ”

Xia Fan casually pulled over a chair and sat opposite Xia Ya.

Ye still sat next to Xia Fan.

Bai Xingshu and Yan Zi'an stood behind Xia Fan honestly, as if they were two generals.

Just like when he saw Bai Xingshu for the first time, although Yan Zi'an looked very unfamiliar, Xia Ya didn't ask much, but continued: "So our Xia family is now the target of everyone. In the eyes of most people, the entire Beihuang County has been labeled as the Xia family, and for other families, as one of the four great families, and now we are the head of the four great families, it is already a kind of transgressive behavior to be able to completely control the land of a county. If the Manchu Dynasty is full of opposition and condemnation, even His Majesty, it is impossible to completely suppress it, have you thought about how to deal with it? ”

Xia Ya's voice was not stern, although the things he said seemed quite serious, but the meaning of the words was stronger than the taste of the school examination.

"What's there to think about, a group of people who can only stare at such a big place as the dynasty, I haven't paid attention to it at all."

Xia Fan said indifferently.

Xia Ya raised her eyebrows slightly, and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a scream.

"Young Master! Are you back! ”

Before the voice fell, a figure rushed into the study like the wind, and when everyone didn't react, they rushed directly into Xia Fan's arms.

"Young Master! It's really you...... Ya'er ...... Ya'er misses you so much......"

After the petite body rushed into Xia Fan's arms, in Xia Fan's stunned look, he directly opened his mouth and cried.

The faces of the other people in the study all became extremely wonderful for a while.

Seeing Ya'er throwing herself into Xia Fan's arms, she couldn't stop crying at all, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Ahem, Ya'er, what's going on? Who bullied you? ”

"That's it...... It's the young master...... Young master, you bully Ya'er! ”

Ya'er said as she cried and sobbed.

What do you mean by that? How can I be willing to bully our family Ya'er. ”

Xia Fan looked dazed.

"That's it...... It's you, young master! Disappear in a flash...... Disappeared for two years...... Finally came back once, and Ya'er happened to go out to look for medicinal herbs...... You don't say wait for Ya'er, just ...... And it's gone again! ”

Ya'er pouted, laughed a little in her cry, and after blaming Xia Fan loudly, she grabbed Xia Fan's clothes and wiped her nose vigorously......

Xia Fan turned his head to look at Ye Yi very innocently, but found that Ye still turned his head directly and didn't look at him at all.

"Ahem, Ya'er, young master, I'm talking about business, and I'll make amends to you when we're done, okay?"

"Huh?"

Ya'er seemed to react at this time, and hurriedly got out of Xia Fan's arms, looked at everyone in the entire study, and her little face turned red all of a sudden.

"That'...... So you can continue to talk...... I...... I'll go first. ”

After saying that, the same as when he came, he ran out of the study again.

"In the past two years, Ya'er has become the first alchemist of the family, your vision is very good, as long as Ya'er is there, the family will become stronger and stronger, but ...... Hey, forget it, don't talk about it. ”

Xia Ya looked at Ya'er's departing figure, and halfway through his words, he stopped directly.

Xia Fan knew what his father wanted to say, but he couldn't answer it, so there was an awkward silence in the study for a while.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The awkward silence didn't last long before it was broken by a sharp voice.
