There are many large and small houses with similar functions next to each other near the house where Zhang Ke's Cai brothers and sisters are located, and there are also people in it who are combing and summarizing all kinds of miscellaneous studies - basically except for the aspects related to the scholar clan that need to be avoided, the rest of the known and conventional fields are involved, and even include the induction of experience and some failure cases, and there are all kinds of everything.

Although these things are not as secret as what Zhang Ke is doing, they are also relatively special, and the management personnel have actually been carefully selected by Jian Yong, Zhang Ke and others, including Cai Qian and Bao Li's family who have been contacted, and several scholars who have been able to pull down their faces, as well as the Yan family and Zhang Ke's relatives participated, in addition to six people who came from Gu'an to seek refuge with their innocent backgrounds, adding up to a total of more than 40 people.

At this time, there was a lot of movement in the farm, and these people naturally came out to watch. After hearing the news from the guards, it was confirmed that it was not the bandits who were intruding, but the owner came back, and everyone relaxed, gathering together in groups of three or five to discuss with each other, and then the six people who came from Gu'an drove the atmosphere, quite expressively talking about what Liu Zheng and others experienced in Gu'an, and the mood here was also a little excited, echoing the noise of other areas of the farm.

Zhang Ke sent someone over to pass the word when he set off, so that they could calm down for a while, if they were interested, they would send a few representatives out to recognize their faces, and everyone would know that things here could not be put down, and it was impossible to let everyone pass, and in the final analysis, it was just a fun. After all, the three owners have already worshipped, and in everyone's guess, they will definitely keep filial piety together, and the rules of filial piety are complicated, maybe they are just meeting people for two or three years, and they can't even talk, and the real ones who are in charge here have to be the three brothers and sisters of Zhang Xianling and the Cai family, so they also launched a respected old man, and brought a few interested juniors to recognize their faces.

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters of the Cai family instructed the two guards to lead Guo Xiao and Huang Tian and then got into the carriage, they were escorted out of the farm by more than a dozen high-status guards, and in one of the small circles, a young man who was nearly twenty years old looked left and right, pouting and saying angrily: "Dad, I can't see it!" Why are they? Every time I travel, I am a carriage and an escort, and I make even more fanfare than Zhang County's order! Look at the uncles, they mean that we will have a coachman when we go out, not to mention the guards. Our Yan family has contributed a lot here! Several cousins also died of the plague, and the people in this village also killed them! Why should they enjoy all the good things? Seeing the owner this time, they are obviously in Liwei again! ”

Yan Cheng, who spoke in the second room of the Yan family, there were only three people in this small circle at this time, Ma Ting, who was considered an outsider, and the father and son usually had close contacts, and they had long been accustomed to hearing Yan Cheng's complaints, and Yan Ye, who was in his fifties, also smiled bitterly at Ma Ting, who was almost the same age: "Yan has no way to teach his son, and Brother Zizheng is smiling." ”

"Isn't that the truth what I'm talking about?"

Yan Cheng's face was ugly: "In terms of qualifications and financial resources, their three brothers and sisters are a fart!" Even if he Cai Buyu and Cai Laichao have the ability, he picked up a lot of messy things in the farm in two or three days, and he was just a moon leader! If you have the ability, let them take care of that house, why? There are so many capable people in this world! We're the family! It's the henchman! As a result, I came in as a man who brought tea and water to do chores, and even their little sister could enter the house...... Just a female streamer, taking the name of Meng Lang, and shamelessly showing up to do things, is simply self-deception and shamelessness, and even more humiliating us! ”

"It's presumptuous."

Yan Ye squinted his eyes, "You really can't compare." Not to mention ability, even if you have the ability to please Zhang County, you are not as good as them. ”

"Daddy!"

Yan Cheng looked annoyed, and walked into the house impatiently: "Yes, yes, I can't compare." If I were a woman, or if I had a younger sister, I would be able to tie up with Zhang Xianling and Jian Xian and them, wouldn't it be just walking around at night! I knew I couldn't bear this bird's anger, and I couldn't leave if I wanted to, what a bag! ”

The foul language and slander made Yan Ye stiffen his face, "So vulgar, the heart of a villain, what kind of body ...... become?"

"Brother Yan doesn't have to be angry. Ah Cheng is young and vigorous, and he is disciplined and restrained by you on weekdays, and he has nowhere to vent, if he can't even say this, he must not be crazy? ”

Ma Ting hurriedly grabbed Yan Ye, saw Huang Tian coming over with a bunch of keys, and hurriedly greeted Yan Ye together, seeing Huang Tian all the way to the most important room to lock the door, and ordered the guards to take good care of it and pay attention to fire prevention, Ma Ting smiled lightly, "But Ah Cheng is not wrong." That's what it is. You see, including Commander Huang, are quite young, so Zhang Xianling, Steward Zhang, and Xiong Fugong help them not to cause chaos. At that age, the Cai family brothers and sisters were difficult to convince the public. ”

Speaking of Yan Cheng on weekdays, Ma Ting just smiled to help Yan Cheng relieve the siege, and today is the first time to take the initiative to take over the topic, Yan Ye couldn't help but be surprised, and frowned: "Brother Zizheng has something to say?" Please also be clear. ”

"Well, some foolish opinions, Brother Yan can hear it."

Ma Ting thought for a while and said with a smile: "Ting has also been here for a while, and it is not unaware of what everyone says. Although the Cai family brothers and sisters have some talents, they were favored by Zhang Xianling and Jian Xianhe at a glance, but the origin is unknown, and they are young. Zhang Xian ordered the cultivation of descendants to be anti-guest, Jian Xianhe didn't want the Yan family, the Cai family, and the Bao family to steal the limelight, and said that the three brothers and sisters of the Cai family wanted to embezzle the family property...... There are all sorts of theories. Brother Yan doesn't deny this, right? ”

Yan Ye nodded, frowned, and said, "Brother Zizheng wants to say, now is an opportunity?" ”

"The owner is back."

Ma Ting bowed his head and said, "Isn't this an opportunity?" There are rules for keeping filial piety, but I will wait to mourn Yuan Qigong in the past, and it doesn't hurt to talk about the pros and cons on the side, right? ”

"It's not right."

Yan Ye pondered for a moment and said frankly: "Brother Zizheng, you think about it from a different angle. If my Yan family wants to enter that house, Cai and Bao don't have this idea? It is Huang Tian's guards, the leaders in charge of the fields, and even the teachers and craftsmen in the private school opposite, and the merchants and gentry inside and outside the city...... Who doesn't want a piece of the pie? Once the matter is raised, it is endless. We can seek some cheapness, but if we are too proactive, it will make the owner and Zhang Xianling look down on us. After all, the owner is a clan member of the Han family, and this name was useless in the past, but now that he has been taken care of by Liu Tingshi, you say it can be the same? If he says a word, we may fall into the upper hand...... Well, it was Zhang Xian who ordered Gu Nian to really listen to the owner, and I waited to say it, which was also a loss of face, but after all, he fell behind. ”

"Brother Yan's words are wrong."

Ma Ting shook his head: "You are for balance, but there are a lot of whispers from the people below, but in fact, this balance is in jeopardy." If you think about it again, if there are people in every family who can go in to do things, they don't go into that house, and they can help spread things, everyone knows the secrets in that house, and they feel that if they have a relationship with Zhang Xianling and the owner, there will be no intimacy and alienation, so that they will not be angry. What's more, you have to control the most important house to get closer to the owner. Now the reputation of the owner is actually not very good. All the families united and said that they wanted to help him do things, but was he not moved in his heart, and he wanted to take revenge? If this is really the amount of energy...... Oh, then it's better to disperse. ”

He paused, saw Yan Ye's hesitant expression, and smiled indifferently: "It can be seen that Brother Yan is doing things here, acting steadily and taking care of the overall situation, and thinking about the family affection of the two sisters in the family." Moreover, Zhang Xianling didn't speak, because of the official authority, and he was just a foil, you wouldn't react. But now the owner is finally back, and it is the owner who is in charge. Some things are not good to say to their sisters and Zhang Xianling, but they can always react to the owner, right? It is always for the good of the owner. ”

He glanced at the room, "Besides, Ah Cheng is your own son, and now he scolds the Cai family brothers and sisters, and even takes Jian Xianhe and Zhang County Orders behind, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hold a grudge against the owner in the future, or cause trouble and be retaliated against by others." At that time, does the Yan family value Ah Cheng, or do they value their own business and the connections of the owner? The only one who broke the bones and tendons with Ah Cheng is you, Brother Yan. If Ah Cheng and the other people in the Yan family really turn against each other, is it difficult for Brother Yan to be caught in the middle and help others break Ah Cheng's legs? ”

"If he dares to arrange the Yan family, I will really break his legs!"

Yan Ye glanced at the room angrily, and at the same time, a young man in the field in the distance beckoned and shouted, "Two uncles, have you ever seen Miss Cai?" ”

"Lian Gongzi, Miss Cai and his brother have gone out to see the owner."

Martin shouted, and the young man hurried back.

Yan Ye looked at the other party's back, shook his head and said: "If the dog has the same mind and talent as Lian Junzhi, I will ask Cai Buduo for a family affair, so that he will no longer think nonsense." ”

"But Brother Yan finally retreated in the face of difficulties...... Having said that, I heard that Lian Lianjun knows that his name is actually Yin Yu Yin Zijin, who is a member of the Yin clan in Yingchuan...... It's the gentry. ”

"Huh? Is this true? ”

Yan Ye was stunned, "He came here incognito to teach calligraphy, painting and Mongolian studies...... What's the picture? ”

"Who knows. Xu is a fair lady and gentleman, or the owner is angry and swallows rivers and mountains, he admires it in his heart, but he is afraid of implicating his family...... There was also a time when he drank with Tian Guard, Tian Guard, who was drunk, and only said it, but after waking up, he denied it, and the rest, Ting didn't know. ”

"In this way, the Cai family brothers and sisters ......"

Yan Ye looked surprised, Ma Ting glanced at it, and quipped: "What? Is Brother Yan afraid, or does he want to find a girl from the Shi clan to be his daughter-in-law? Speaking of which, the Cai family and the Bao family are also scholars...... Although it is not as good as Kunpeng, sparrows are also birds. Moreover, the people of their two families may not work together. ”

"This is true, there are benefits, and my brothers may not be single-minded."

Yan Ye nodded, and the words changed, "However, Brother Zizheng is a little wrong, you and I are both at this age, what kind of wind and waves have you never seen?" Fear? Are you afraid that they will criticize them or play with power? We have lived at least more than 30 years, and our methods and tricks, not to mention these young people, are the pedantic and old people in the clan of scholars, how can they be compared? ”

He looked disdainful, and then stared at Ma Ting, "I just didn't think that Brother Zizheng was really good at hiding, and he didn't open his heart until this time......"

Ma Ting rubbed his hands secretly, and was about to laugh, Yan Ye patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, if Yan really goes to admonish, he will definitely mention your name...... In the future, I will be in the same boat, sharing weal and woe. ”

"Brother Yan still knows me! If there is good news, you must tell the foolish brother so that he can get some cheap money to take care of the family. ”

Ma Ting immediately arched his hand with a flattering expression, but his eyes glanced at a guard in the distance.

……

The carriage was bumpy all the way, the speed was quite fast, and Qian Feng, who was driving, was obviously emotional, and he was talking to the newcomers around him, and the chatter was overshadowed by other voices, and the noise made the carriage unpeaceful.

Cai Xiao frowned and glanced at the curtain several times, and turned sideways to open the curtain and say a few words, but finally held back, and then pressed down the cloak to cover his face, grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, and his body swayed with the carriage.

Cai Yu fiddled with the bamboo slips marked with homonyms in his hand a little boringly, and after receiving no response after opening his mouth several times, he said solemnly: "Recently, you have become more and more impetuous. ”

The movement of tugging at the hem of his clothes suddenly froze, and Cai Yu spoke loudly in a dialect: "Have you seen all the things in those rooms?" Maybe you learned it, right? Do you think you're better than your brother and me? Sometimes it's okay to disobey the discipline, and give orders in my name...... Don't you know the truth of overreach? ”

"The concubine body just wants to get things done."

The voice came low but firm, and Cai Yu said in a deep voice: "Now that my brother and I have called all the wives and children in the family, can't you restrain a little for the sake of our two families?" Must people suspect that we are willing to wait for the noisy guests, and even make trouble to break up our wives and families? Don't forget, we are outsiders after all...... No matter what happens in the future, at this moment, it is an outsider. Showing the edge will only get into trouble. ”

"Others are jealous, could it be that the owner will also be jealous? Zhang County's order is very important, and he is by no means such an unreasonable person. ”

"Keep your head down and don't care about anything else. Okay, you're right. We are more sharp, and we can indeed win the respect of people, and that county order is also reasonable, and it will not harm us...... But have you ever asked my brother and me what I mean? You tie us up and do things for him Liu Deran......"

Cai Yu pinched the bamboo slip tightly, "Little sister, my brother and I are defending you and loving you, so I came here." For my brother to admit that he was also a little curious in the past. Regardless of the fact that I am now in a place of right and wrong, my brother and I originally wanted to visit the mountains and rivers, so I called a few of your sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces to come over, just to enjoy the joy of family, and it is good to walk around at will without anyone around......"

He pulled off Cai Xiao's cloak and hat, looked at his somewhat ruddy eyes, and looked very solemn, "But now, what about your scheming to use it on my head?" Is this the case when the family is separated? Or does Uncle Ciming have an official position, and you think you can do whatever you want? There's a lot of planning at night, right? Do you think that my brother and I are no match for you? Such a reckless act that does not take our thoughts into account! ”

"Brother......

Cai Xiao panicked for a while, "The concubine is ......"

"It has to be like me."

Cai Yu glared, then handed over the bamboo slip with a smile on his face, "Come, tell me what this sentence means?" ”

"You ......"

"What am I? When you're done talking, you have to do something, right? Idle is idle anyway. Or do you think you can change anything in a short period of time? ”

Cai Yu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Oh, people are filial piety, you let me watch you run over and recommend yourself for the sake of our freedom, is it possible?" Or do you just think that you are happy with each other, and you fly together...... The last one hangs on the southeast branch? ”

"Brother......

Cai Xiao's eyes suddenly turned red, and his cheeks also turned crimson, "Where can the concubine be like Meng Lang!" You're talking nonsense again, and I'll tell my sister-in-law to go ......."

"Mother Meng is going to move three times, it's really hard to say at your age...... Haha, well, being a brother is just trying to say that even an elegant person like a brother can't learn well in such an atmosphere, so it's hard to say that he won't change? I always thought that the person was still the same person, so I messed up my ......"

Cai Yu smiled, and heard Qian Feng shouting in front of the car, and the carriage was even more bumpy, so he also pulled up the curtain and looked at it a few times, looked at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, and turned his head and pouted, "I advise you not to go down, even if you don't look at it." If you are watching, you can go home and see your brother and sister-in-law's family happy, and you can't cry to death when you touch the scene? ”

He ...... How many of them came back? ”

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the voice of a crying woman was heard not far away, Cai Yu hesitated, pulled on his hat, and his tone stabilized.

"Two hundred people on visual inspection...... Wait, there are fifty or sixty people like Yang Feng and them...... It's true, it turned out to be Yang Feng himself. ”

Cai Yu thought about it and smiled with relief: "That's right, after all, he is a great general, he has a good reputation, and he is a ruthless person who proposed to slaughter the city, Yang Feng and those people have to weigh it even if they are afraid." In this way, things are easier to do on my brother's side...... You go back and pass on my words, go and talk to Brother Huang Tian, so An comes and goes, the news is still too long to stay for more than five days, you can ask him to send someone to bring a message to his brother, let Yang Feng open a road over there, they rob and kill, close the road and charge fees, it shouldn't be a problem to let one or two come back, it's a big deal to pay more money and ......"

"Concubine...... Knowing that he had transgressed the rules, since he had provoked his brother's dislike, he would leave after he had to go back. ”

Cai Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the shouts of Qian Feng and others outside the carriage, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly bowed up and shouted in a deep voice: "Ridiculous! You don't expect them to let you go, so you want to go to Zhang's mansion to serve? ”

"Did you think about it...... It's just that I still think it's good to go home to accompany my sister-in-law. ”

Cai Xiao opened the curtain and walked out first, looking at the dense crowd of people not far away, and there were three young people in the middle kneeling towards the crying Li family, she walked a few steps, looked at the rather weathered face in the center, and couldn't help but look confused, covering her chest that was a little blocked, "What my brother said is very true, the concubine body still has to temper her heart and learn more things." ”

"Taoguang is obscure...... Silly girl. ”

Qian Feng pointed to the crowd and asked him to recognize his face, Cai Yu opened Qian Feng with a few perfunctory words, walked over and pulled the brim of her hat helplessly to block her vision, and when she glanced at the carriage in the distance, she saw a little girl with white hair and white skin who took out a bunch of bamboo slips from time to time and handed them to Zhu Ming, and laughed and said: "It's quite benevolent, which doesn't match the notoriety of Wancheng...... Tsk, with so many bamboo slips, Brother Zhongfu and Gongda really made a lot of money...... Take, guess what, are they implying that sooner or later the owner will be a relative of you and me? ”

"Concubines, concubines don't know ......"

"Hey, I don't know if Gongda said where I was waiting? If you say it, according to the meaning of the song "Peacock Flying Southeast", your trouble is not small, even if he breaks his filial piety, it is possible...... Speaking of which, Yin Zijin is also there. Guess what he did when he came here to admire you or him? ”

Cai Yu looked at Liu Zheng, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"Brother!"

Cai Yu couldn't help but climb on Cai Yu's arm and secretly exert himself.

"It's good if you still have the strength to mess around...... Okay, no more laughing. ”

Cai Yu hissed, pulled his hand with a smile, and then his face became a little serious, "Along the way, there are a lot of assassinations against the owner, and maybe there are still people waiting here to wait for the opportunity to move." You might as well go back and rest for a while. In the past two days, I also have to prepare well, at least to see all the people in the Zhuangzi clearly. ”

Cai Xiao was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "For whom?" ”

"My wife and children, my brother's family, and you."

Cai Yu rolled his eyes in boredom, turned around and walked to the carriage, "Could it be him?" I don't like men, and I don't like being spanked like a gongda. What a shame...... Twenty-seven or eighteen people, even if they can't do it vertically or horizontally, I'm ashamed. ”

"You just dislike me for selfish interests, it's not as good as your righteousness, you are dedicated to the Han, and even the marriage is for the Han!"

Cai Xiao muttered, seeing that Liu Zheng was looking over under the guidance of Zhang Ke, his body immediately stiffened, and then Geng Qiuyi pursed her lips and held back an ugly smile in the afterglow, she pressed the brim of her hat, but she couldn't help but look to the side and watched Fang Xue holding those bamboo slips down, then turned around and walked briskly, got into the car and said with a smile: "Three years, if it was in the past, I don't know how much my father would have to pay, or is it better now, walking around, even a household registration can be faked at will...... Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to Miss Zou, her father and mother seem to be in the Zhang family, hehe, conniving at Miss Zou to run away from home, disobeying the etiquette law and not getting married, the owner may have an accident. ”

"The chivalrous woman?"

Cai Yu pursed his lips, "You have really changed now, and you even mentioned the one who was even more apopathic, and even dared to abandon the order of your parents...... If it weren't for this woman drawing a map of half of the inner courtyard of the palace, I really wouldn't want to use it...... Then again, do you know how she draws? It's also amazing. ”

Cai Xiao blinked a little playfully, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

"Huh."

Cai Yu took out a square handkerchief from his arms and wiped Cai Xiao's face, and stuffed it into Cai Xiao's hand, "This heavenly opportunity, it's all on your face...... The girl's house is emotional, and she can't hide it...... Commander Qian, go back first...... Well, there's something else going on in Shonai. Dealt with first. If you want to see the owner, you have to change the shift tomorrow...... Thank you, thank you. ”

After a while, the carriage moved, Cai Xiao pulled the curtain of the car, looked at Liu Zheng, who was talking with Yang Feng and others in the distance, pursed his lips, felt a little salty, and then sat back, spread out the square handkerchief and attached it to his face, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I'm sorry......"

"Hmm. It's time to say sorry to your brother Brown, who almost parted with life and death. However, Brother Zhong Fu can also be regarded as a chance meeting, and he has created momentum for my Xun family. Gongda may not be without gains, Boqi...... This guy who adheres to the golden mean is a magic barrier, and it is best to break his too conservative temperament this time. Now that Brother Zhongyu and Shiren go out to talk about things, they are already happy to do this, and you also know the proposition of being a brother, which is to temper it, and by the way, see how his Liu Deran temperament is...... Haha, in this case, you have more merit than deed. ”

Seeing that Cai Yu didn't respond, the square handkerchief was even more moist, Cai Yu sucked his nose that was a little frozen, and said "oh", "Take it, I forgot to say it for my brother, this square handkerchief, I just wiped my nose ......"

"Brother! The concubine is the sand in her eyes, all kinds of foul language you have, what kind of system have you become! ”
