Uncle Zhong walked into the house and came out with a thick genealogy.

Zhong Xuanlan stood at the door, took the genealogy, took the brush from Uncle Zhong's hand, wrote Wang Xuannian's name next to her name, and then handed over the rest to Uncle Zhong.

"Now I want you to go back and think carefully about what the head of the family said."

After that, Zhong Xuanlan took Wang Xuannian and left the ancestral hall first, and Zhong Tinghao and his son left after him.

At the fork in the road, Zhong Xuanlan saw that Zhong You had something important to report, so he let go of Wang Xuannian's hand and walked towards the Qingyou Courtyard.

Wang Xuannian felt a little lost in his heart, and looked in the direction where Zhong Xuanlan left.

Seeing this, Zhong Xuanli pursed his lips and thought: Sister, when will you see your brother-in-law's mind.

Zhong Tinghao patted Wang Xuannian's shoulder and said, "Let's go." He said and walked in the other direction.

Zhong Xuanli pulled Wang Xuannian and followed Zhong Tinghao.

Wang Xuannian had some doubts in his heart, this was not the way back to the backyard of Zhongfu, they were going there.

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Xuannian found out that they had come to the small ancestral hall of Zhongfu, and thought: What are they going to do here? I had doubts in my heart, but I didn't ask, and walked in.

Zhong Tinghao took out a family tree from a dark grid, wrote Wang Xuannian's name next to Zhong Xuanlan's name, put down the pen, and said solemnly: "Son-in-law, from now on you will be my Zhong family, may you and my daughter grow old together, and have a full house of children and grandchildren." ”

Wang Xuannian was slightly stunned, returned to his senses, and saluted: "Thank you for your words." ”

Zhong Tinghao nodded slightly, looked at the young man in front of him who had grown a lot taller, and said solemnly: "Child, I don't know why my daughter chose you to be her lifelong companion, she has been carrying everything of the Zhong family since she was a child, and what she values in her eyes is the gains and losses of the Zhong family, which may hurt you." I selfishly ask you to bear with her and love her. ”

Wang Xuannian smiled and nodded, he would make her fall in love with him.

Zhong Xuanli looked at the Zhong Mu spirit card in the Zhong family's small ancestral hall and said, "My sister put you aside from the position of the head of the family, which means that you will be entangled for the rest of your life, there is no harmony, no abandonment, only death." King Ling or others are no longer possible, please ask your brother-in-law to teach her how to love others, I wish you to grow old together and have a full house of children and grandchildren. ”

Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanli in shock.

Zhong Xuan said: "The genealogy of the Zhong family is only allowed by the heads of the previous generations (patriarchs), those in power of the family, the clan elders and their wives, and the rest of the people cannot. ”

Wang Xuannian understood that the Zhong family was a big family, unlike the Lu family tree and the Wang family tree, where everyone's names were recorded in the genealogy.

She really wanted to spend her life with him, he didn't dream, and a big smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

Zhong Xuanli looked at the smirking man and pouted, sister, don't miss it.

The person they were talking to was heading to the palace, and half an hour later, he appeared in the imperial study.

Emperor Jing Xi asked, "President Zhong, why is the tax and silver uneven?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan knelt on the ground, heard this, and replied: "Back to the emperor, the collection of taxes and silver is carried out by the chairman of the branch, and then transported by the state soldiers. Lord Liu, Lord Li, is the tax money not enough? ”

Lord Liu, the head of the household department, hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen has checked that the tax silver is missing in Youzhou, and the one in Suzhou has paid less than 100,000 taels. Weichen proposed to send people to Youzhou and Suzhou to investigate to avoid the president of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce. ”

Seeing this, Master Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen seconded it." ”

Emperor Jingxi twisted his eyebrows and pondered, thought for a while, and said, "Lord Xinlan is flat." ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "Thank you, Emperor." "Get up and stand to the side, trying to reduce your presence.

Emperor Jingxi asked: "Which one is the tax silver that Suzhou is missing?" ”

Lord Liu glanced at Zhong Xuanlan, sighed slightly, and said euphemistically: "Weichen has seen the accounts, the Xu family, the Lu family, and the Ruan family have losses. ”

Emperor Jingxi squinted his eyes at Lord Liu, and Lord Liu's heart froze, he lowered his head and trembled slightly, and stood more respectfully.

He looked at Zhong Xuanlan who was standing on the side, and asked coldly, "County Lord, what do you think?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers are just businessmen. ”

Emperor Jingxi's eyes were dark, his fists were clenched, he restrained his emotions, and said, "County Lord, dealing with the ledger every day, can't you understand the tax accounts?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "Back to the emperor, the grandfather of the courtiers did not teach the courtiers to read the tax books. ”

Emperor Jingxi was displeased, and directly ordered: "Liu Aiqing and Li Aiqing will investigate this matter together, and the county lord of Xinlan will assist from the side. Stand down, all of you. ”

Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, and withdrew with the two of them.

Lord Liu smiled and asked, "County Lord, do you have any good proposals?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "Adults can go and investigate the post house records." ”

Lord Liu understood a little in his heart and nodded.

Li Dadao: "County Lord, what about the tax and silver in Suzhou?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Lord Li and said, "My lord, I know what I know, why do you still ask this county lord?" After speaking, he said "farewell" to Lord Liu and walked forward.

The two adults glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and walked out of the palace together.

Zhong Xuanlan in the carriage looked unhappy, and his body was filled with coldness, which made the air conditioning in the carriage full, making the winter solstice want to escape.

Zhong Xuanlan looked at the street outside, was silent for a while, and ordered: "Winter solstice, let people go to Suzhou to check the Xu family carefully." I want to see if the Xu family is on the side? ”

Dong Solstice recalled: "The Xu family? Big boss, didn't we check it once? ”

Zhong Xuanlan narrowed his eyes and said, "I think there's something missing here." ”

Dong Solstice commanded: "I will let the steward investigate carefully." ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded and said, "Let them be careful." ”

Dong Solstice was slightly stunned, and said for a moment: "Yes." ”

The two were speechless for a while, and it didn't take long for them to return to Zhongfu.

Wang Xuannian heard that Chun Zhi said that Zhong Xuanlan had returned home, left Zhong Tinghao and Zhong Xuanli, and went to Qingyou Courtyard with lunch.

Zhong Xuanlan just sat down, listening to the winter solstice report that Wang Xuan was coming, he was slightly stunned in his heart, frowning slightly, in the past month, he seemed to be very diligent, squinted his eyes, it is better to settle down.

got up and walked out of the study, walked towards the east wing, stood at the door and stared at Wang Xuannian's back, and after a while, he walked in.

When Wang Xuannian saw someone coming, his eyes lit up, and he immediately got up, pulled Zhong Xuanlan to sit down, and then put the food on the table.

Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, watching his actions.

Seeing this, Wang Xuannian asked, "Lan'er, isn't today's meal to your taste?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan shook his head and said, "Let's eat." ”

Wang Xuannian smiled and said, "Okay." ”

After the two of them had dinner, Wang Xuannian left with the food box.

Zhong Xuanlan sat there stunned for a long time.

After Wang Xuannian walked out of the Qingyou Courtyard, his smile disappeared, his face was a little gloomy, his Lan'er was suspicious of him, they had been together for so long, they didn't even have the least trust, and his heart hurt slightly......
