Text: Chapter 89 Scattering wealth and buying righteousness

Tied hair shawl, light cyan arrow robe, azure cross-horse suit, blue silk around the waist, Jiang Anyong sword eyebrows, heroic, looking at Jiang Anyi. Watching his younger brother grow from a skinny child to a sturdy teenager, Jiang Anyi was overjoyed.

Jiang Anyi just wanted to step forward, a group of people crowded over, leading the horses, patting the ashes, and stretching the clothes for Jiang Anyong, Jiang Anyong held his head high, strode in, and walked into the house with a group of people next to him, without looking to the side at all.

Jiang Anyi, a dozen of these more than ten men, didn't know any of them, and he didn't see how there were so many idlers in his family for half a year. Jiang Anyi was full of displeasure, and took the charcoal and rushed to the house.

"Stop." The four people in front of the door had just sent off the second master, and when they saw Jiang Anyi rushing in in a daze, they stopped in front of Jiang Anyi with a cold snort.

"Boy, who are you, dare to trespass into the Zhuangyuan Mansion, the county master has to talk about the rules when he arrives here, get out of the way." The round-faced man had the most irritable temper, and he reached out and grabbed Jiang Anyi's placket and wanted to throw him out.

There was a miasma of smoke in front of the house, and he couldn't enter his own door, Jiang Anyi's nameless fire had nowhere to start, and when he saw that the round-faced man was going to make a move, he was in the middle of it. The body leaned back slightly, grabbed the big hand stretched out with his right hand, and folded it down hard, his round face ached again and again, and his waist bent down involuntarily, and he was about to kneel down to Jiang Anyi.

The three people next to them didn't expect Jiang Anyi to dare to make a move, so they all screamed and rushed forward, raised their fists and legs, and beckoned Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi was holding the charcoal in his left hand, it was not easy to dodge, so he had to exert his right hand, and the round-faced man only felt a strong pull on him, and he fell sideways involuntarily, just hitting the other three, and the four of them fell to the ground like a gourd rolling on the ground.

The fight alarmed the people in the courtyard, and more than a dozen men poured out of the courtyard at once, some of them held wooden sticks and leather whips in their hands, and they didn't say much, and they knocked on Jiang Anyi's head viciously. If the stick is struck, the light one's head will break and bleed, and the heavy one will have his brain burst, how did his own house become a bandit's den, is this still his own home?

Jiang Anyi raised his right hand, luck in his arm, and protected it on the top of his head. The three wooden sticks slammed heavily on the arm, and with a "click", the jujube wooden sticks were broken violently, and the person who used the stick did not have any strength at all, and was bent on defeating the future person. Seeing that the wooden stick was useless, someone took out a dagger, smiled and surrounded Jiang Anyi, and more than a dozen encircled Jiang Anyi in the middle.

"Stop." Jiang Anyong heard the sound and walked out of it, picked up the crowd and shouted: "Don't get out of here, this is my brother." ”

"Brother, when did you come back, the third uncle also said that you would stay in the capital for a while." Jiang Anyong affectionately opened his hand to hug his brother, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm almost taller than you, go in, my mother doesn't know you're back." ”

Those men were dumbfounded, it turned out that the uncle had gone home, no wonder he went straight inside, but he couldn't blame us, we didn't know the uncle, why didn't the uncle say anything? Everyone came forward to greet with smiling faces, "Hello uncle", "Uncle misunderstood just now", "Don't be surprised, uncle......

Jiang Anyi let his younger brother hold his shoulders, walked in expressionlessly, and saw Uncle Wang hurriedly greet him, handed the reins to Uncle Wang, and ordered "Good life to take care of it". Along the way, the servant and the maid avoided the roadside and saluted, and Jiang Anyi didn't know him. The house has been redecorated again, the flowers and plants are carefully placed, a lot of scenery has been added, and the corridor has been decorated.

"The house was expanded once after the beginning of spring, and two were added to the back, and there were many people in the family, and they couldn't live there." Jiang Anyong introduced on the side. Jiang Huang and Yan'er have already come out, a group of servant women around them, dressed in silk and satin, with beaded ornaments on their heads, dressed as a noble lady, where is there still half a peasant woman's appearance, Yan'er next to her is also gorgeous, I haven't seen her for half a year, and her family has become stranger.

"Yi'er." Jiang Huang's choked voice was still familiar, and Yan'er rushed over, hugged her brother and said, "I miss Yan'er." Jiang Anyi hugged Yan'er and said, "My brother misses you too, my brother is homesick in his dreams." ”

Kneeling on the ground, Jiang Anyi bowed to Jiang Huang and said: "My son is not at home all the year round, and I have a mother who cares about it, my son is not filial, and my mother forgives my sins." ”

Jiang Huang wiped his tears and said: "Yi'er, what are you talking about, you can glorify your ancestors, it's too late for your mother to be happy, and your father will be happy under Jiuquan." ”

When he entered the house, the servant Yahuan knelt on the ground, and when he saw the uncle, Jiang Huang was busy asking someone to arrange the meal. After a while, the eldest and second uncles got the news and arrived with their cousins at home, and the family sat together, talking and laughing.

The cups and plates are listed, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the tea and water are served, the wine and cloth are all served, Jiang Anyi is very unaccustomed, and then he sees his mother and uncle and others are as good as a vegetarian, but he feels normal. Since entering the door, everything that happened at home made Jiang Anyi feel uncomfortable, and after glancing at the people at the table, Jiang Anyi asked, "Why didn't you invite Mr. Zhou here?" ”

There was silence in the house, and Jiang Huang said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou has something at home, and he has returned home two months ago. ”

Everyone's expressions were a little nervous, Jiang Anyi knew that this matter was not so simple, so he held back his unhappiness, stood up and said with a smile: "I'm a little tired all the way, let's go rest first, you can eat." ”

Back at his residence, Jiang Anyi checked the ground, and the place where the gem was hidden was safe and sound. Sitting at the table, Jiang Anyi frowned and thought about his thoughts, the current situation at home must be rectified, otherwise disaster will not be far away.

Jiang Huang walked in with Yan'er, and Jiang Anyi hurriedly got up and gave up his seat. Jiang Huang said: "Yi'er, I already know what happened when I entered the door, Yong'er said that I would scold those people later, don't take it to heart." You are the backbone of the family, you are unhappy, and everyone is uneasy. ”

"Yes, brother, you're afraid of Yan'er with a black face."

Jiang Anyi pinched Yan'er's little face and said with a smile: "You didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?" Did Mr. Zhou get angry with you? ”

"No, it's the second brother." Yan'er shouted in a hurry, then made it clear that she had missed her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Brother, don't be angry with the second brother, he thinks about martial arts all day long and doesn't want to study." It was the cousin who was also disobedient, so Mr. Zhou got angry and wanted to leave. ”

"I gave Mr. Zhou an extra twenty taels of silver, and I didn't treat him badly." Jiang Huang said disapprerovingly: "It's all a family, don't get angry because of a little thing, your uncle and they are a little afraid of you now, let me find out why you are angry." ”

"A trifle?" Jiang Anyi finally couldn't help but have a seizure, and said, "Mother, I've been away from home for half a year, what has become of my family?" ”

"What's the matter, isn't it nice at home? After the news of your champion came, Chen County Ling saw that his mother was respectful, and the lord of the Yu family often came to visit him, sent this and that, and many people volunteered to give the land to our family, and the whole family went to our family to do things. The family is much more prosperous than before, and my mother knows that this is all due to you. Jiang Huang looked at his son with pride.

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly, her mother was just a peasant woman, she couldn't see it so far-reaching, compared to three years ago, the changes that happened in front of her made her deeply satisfied.

Holding Yan'er to his lap, Jiang Anyi said, "Mother, is our family still short of money?" ”

"Silly boy, our family is still short of money, the monthly dividend of the glycein shop you got is no less than five hundred taels, and Li'er said that the dividends of the folding fan business will be transferred to our family forty percent, and my mother will calculate it casually, and our family's annual income is six or seven thousand taels."

Speaking of the family business, Jiang Huang's family became gushing, "My mother bought another 300 acres of land, and nearly 1,000 acres of barren mountains, plus the land that others have recently invested in our family's name, our family's field has 1,600 acres." Yi'er, our family is one of the most important landlords in the county. ”

"Mother, do you remember when you owed your second uncle two taels of silver and were forced to sell your land?"

"Of course, my mother will not forget that at that time, the family was so poor that they couldn't eat enough, and Yan'er was as thin as a hemp stalk." Jiang Huang looked at Yan'er who was leaning on Jiang Anyi's arms and sighed.

Jiang Anyi said categorically: "Our family doesn't have to worry about food or clothing now, and no one dares to bully us, but our family has shortcomings at the moment." ”

"Brother, if there is anything missing, I will let the second brother buy it, if the county can't buy it, let the fat brother go to Wenping Mansion to buy it." Yan'er said with a smile.

Jiang Anyi put Yan'er down, stood up and said, "Our family lacks benevolence and righteousness now, and we can't buy it with money." ”

Jiang Huang and Yan'er were both frightened by Jiang Anyi's solemn tone, and looked at Jiang Anyi with wide eyes.

"Three years ago, the family was poor, and now the family wears gold and silver, makes slaves and maids, and the county order is a frequent visitor to the family. Those who gave the land to our family and sent them to the door to be slaves are just the identity of the champion of Tu's son. Once the son loses power, these will become a passing cloud, and in the blink of an eye, the family will be scattered, even if you want to return to the three families, I am afraid that you can't do it. ”

Yan'er was frightened, she flattened her mouth and wanted to cry, Jiang Huang asked in panic: "Yi'er, did you get into trouble?" It doesn't matter if the official doesn't do it, our family still has a field and a glycerin shop, which is enough for the whole family to live well. ”

Jiang Anyi saw that her sister was about to cry, so she hurriedly squatted down and comforted: "Don't be afraid, Yan'er, my brother is just such a comparison, fake, it won't look good if you cry." ”

Jiang Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "Yi'er, it's okay not to talk nonsense, it's so scared that my mother's heart is 'fluttering'." ”

After a while, seeing that Niang and Yan'er's expressions returned to normal, Jiang Anyi continued: "When my son entered the door, those gatekeepers stopped me and didn't let me in. ”

Jiang Huang also changed color, and asked in surprise: "Yi'er, you are not injured, are you?" This group of bastards actually dared to poison you, these people were recruited by Yong'er and your cousins, saying that they were caretakers of the home, how could they be so careless. ”

"It's not a trivial matter, this group of people rely on the power of our family and don't put human life in their eyes, once something happens, it must be our family who is ultimately responsible, the matter is big, and the government can't protect our family." My son is just a champion, and he is just a petty official from the sixth grade, how many people in the world are staring at me, waiting for me to have an accident, if something happens to my son, everything in front of him is just a bubble, and even those businesses will be taken away in a blink of an eye. ”

Jiang Huang stood up from his chair in surprise and asked anxiously, "Yi'er, how is this good?" ”

Seeing that his mother had already been moved by his own words, Jiang Anyi slowed down his tone and said, "Mother, you sit down first, haven't these things happened yet?" If you want to pass on the family for a long time, accumulating virtue and doing good is the right way. As you said just now, our family is not short of money, and the fields and people sent to the door are not needed, and they are all returned. Also, those slaves will only disturb the master, except for some people who are in their own right, don't let them ruin our family's reputation. ”

"In the past, our mothers lived together, and they did everything by themselves, didn't they also live well, don't you have so many people to serve, let them work in the fields diligently, and the lazy people also sent them away. If you buy a field and rent it to someone else to plant, you can only collect four cents of rent, and in a disaster year, you might as well lower it, and rush to do the work of repairing bridges and roads, if you can buy a good reputation with money, it is cost-effective. ”

Jiang Huang has long run out of ideas, Jiang Anyi said what it is, nodded again and again, and said: "You are the head of the family, you have the final say in the affairs of this family, I will gather everyone early tomorrow morning, and you will arrange it." ”

These are all trivial matters, the key is An Yong, how to deal with him, Jiang Anyi fell into deep thought......
