knew that he would not borrow any more money, and now he didn't even mention the fifty taels he had just promised.

Fifty taels is a lot of money for ordinary people, but for the current Han Xiufeng, fifty taels is not very useful, in fact, what I spent so much money just now is this result, as long as I can be lenient and can pass the current level, as for the future, I will talk about it later.

"Shopkeeper Pan Gao Yi, this great kindness and great virtue I Han Si will never forget, if I can make up for the gap one day, become an official, and make money, I will definitely be rewarded!" Regardless of whether it is annoying or not, the etiquette must be fulfilled, Han Xiufeng got up again and saluted, with a sincere face.

Shopkeeper Pan secretly thought that he could only meet a cunning little fox, so he got up and supported Han Xiufeng's arms: "There is no need to be polite, let's get down to business, what I just said is the first one, your uncle and I have something to ask for." ”

"I can't talk about the truth, as long as I Han Si can do it, there will never be a second word."

Shopkeeper Pan looked at the second child of his family, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you have also learned the virtue of immortality, I have never seen the world, and I don't know how thick the sky is." If you go to the capital to make a confession, can you bring my parents and students with you, so that he can see the world. Wait to fill in the gaps and let him be a long-term follower for you, help you run errands, and do chores. ”

Guan Zhutou secretly scolded the old fox's abacus for playing so beautifully, and he actually planned to let his son be a long-term follower for the four babies, so that he didn't have to worry about the four babies running away, and he could make money together when the four babies made up for the shortcomings. However, the situation is stronger than people, he is a creditor after all, and he agreed to forgiveness, and it is really unreasonable not to agree.

As he expected, Han Xiufeng didn't have to bargain, so he could only turn around and say, "Uncle Pan, Changsheng will go with me to at least have a care, it's just ...... It's just that I'm an official, and I'm immortal...... In short, in this way, you will be wronged and immortalized. ”

Pan Changsheng never thought that his father would put forward this condition, and he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "No grievances, no grievances, Han Si...... No, fourth brother, we are brothers in the horse, you are the master, I am your family, and you are your long-term companion. ”

Everything is negotiated, and the Chinese people are invited to come and re-establish the note.

Considering that even if they were lucky enough to be elected in the capital, they still didn't know where they would go to take office, and it might take a year or more on the road, the two sides agreed to extend the time for debt repayment to five years. It's just that when the time comes, Han Xiufeng will no longer have to pay back two thousand taels, but three thousand taels, because the five years of grace will also be calculated as interest.

Seeing off the father and son of the shopkeeper Pan and the Chinese people who were invited to witness, and seeing the aunt and sister who had just finished pressing their handprints on the IOU, the pillar finally breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered while cleaning up the tea bowl: "Fourth brother, I was scared to death just now!" ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said: "What are you worried about, you don't want to think about it, my aunt is so good to me, why can't I let her be so old to give people a presenter, let alone watch my sister being sold to pick up customers in the kiln." ”

"Four children, it is easy to make up for the vacancies of donors, uncles in other places don't know, I know Sichuan, there are dozens of alternate Taoist platforms, hundreds of alternate prefects, and thousands of alternate magistrates, but there are a total of 100 yamen in Sichuan, and 100 are missing. Now it's not a real grant, it's all acting, an alternate acting officer can't be in turn for a year, and we don't have anyone in the capital, can you make up for this shortage? The level in front of him was barely passed, but Guan Zhutou couldn't laugh.

"Difficult." Han Xiufeng laughed heartlessly.

"If you can't make up for the shortcomings, you can't be an official, if you can't be an official, you can't make money, and if you can't make money, how can you pay off your debts?" Guan Zhutou stared at Han Xiufeng tightly, and said worriedly: "When the time comes, what you will have to pay back is three thousand taels, three thousand taels of white flowers, you are afraid of people when you think about it!" ”

Han Xiufeng said helplessly: "Uncle Guan, didn't I tell you when I ate lunch, this is both an expedient measure and a delaying measure, what else can I do if I don't do this?" ”

Zhuzi, who had never dared to squeak, couldn't help but ask: "Fourth brother, since this lack is not easy to make up, then do you still want to go to the capital to confess?" ”

"Go, of course you have to go, how can you explain to Shopkeeper Pan if you don't go?"

"That turtle son was afraid that you would play tricks, so he asked his son to go to the capital with you to confess." Guan Zhutou said hatefully.

Han Xiufeng looked up at the yellow cypress tree and said in a deep voice: "In business, it is understandable for Shopkeeper Pan to do this. After all, my uncle did borrow money from his family. Besides, he only counted us as a profit, and he didn't make any profits, just let his second child stare at it, which is not a black heart. ”

Compared with those pawnshops and money houses in the city, the shopkeeper Pan is at least blameless in this matter, the more Guan Zhutou thinks about it, the more he is silent, he is silent for a long time, and he looks up and asks: "When do you plan to leave, the poor family is rich, is it enough?" ”

Han Xiufeng thought for a while, sat down and said: "I plan to leave next month, as for the entanglement, it depends on how to go and how to spend it, this is a few thousand miles to the capital, if you want to be comfortable, how much money is not enough to spend." ”

"Where are you going?" Guan Zhutou asked.

"Uncle Guan, in fact, even if I didn't meet my uncle's business, I would still go to the capital to confess, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the little money I had saved over the years to donate to the prison and donor, just thinking that it was not so easy to fill the gap, so I didn't make a noise, and I planned to help in the yamen for a few more years, save some money, and then go to the capital to confess. It's a pity that the time doesn't wait for me, so I can only go like this. ”

Guan Zhutou sighed: "Plan and then act, better than your uncle." ”

Thinking of his uncle, Han Xiufeng said solemnly: "Uncle Guan, he really didn't tell me about my uncle pooling money to give the short-lived county master to take office, and I have been kept in the dark. If he had known earlier, no matter what method he wanted, he would have persuaded him, and he would not have been killed and would not have let him go to Bishan to be this belly master. ”

Zhu Zi asked curiously, "Fourth brother, do you know how to tell fortunes?" Did you know that the county master wouldn't live for a few days? ”

"I'm not a fortune teller, I can only calculate accounts, and I can calculate, but I can't tell fortunes." Han Xiufeng took a sip of tea from the bowl and explained: "The reason is actually very simple, the county master doesn't know how many years he has been on the bench, and he doesn't know what it has become to be poor, it can be said that he is extremely vicious!" He finally made up for the shortage, and he was still the acting, at most he could work for a year and a half, and he didn't scrape the ground hard. And Bishan is so big, there is so much oil and water, my uncle earns a little, he will earn a little less, you say that my uncle is not seeking skin with the tiger? ”

"Siwazi, are you saying that even if the county master doesn't die of illness, your uncle won't be able to earn a few silver?" Guan Zhutou asked with a frown.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, not only will you not be able to earn a few silver, but you will also be punished by the short-lived county master. Uncle Guan, you have been in the yamen for so many years, and you don't know the virtues of those officials, turning your face faster than turning a book, if you believe them, you don't know how to die! ”
