Ling Yunyi's staff is divided into two kinds, one is to deal with money and food copywriting, and the other is to accompany him to play chess and appreciate antiques or write, so he is more leisurely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info idle staff when they are not summoned, they get together to chat, or read, life is actually very comfortable, Fan Jin's position should also be this kind of assistant staff, and it is impossible to see Zhongcheng in leisure.

From morning to noon, it was when Ling Yunyi was dealing with official business, and those money and grain copywriters spent a lot of time dealing with him. During this time period, the talkative staff would not have been able to be summoned.

Fan Jin, as a new staff member, was called by the governor to talk, which is the proper meaning of the question, but seeing that time has passed little by little, no one has come out, which is a little strange. Not counting the staff, even if the Ling family's sons and nephews came to join the gang, there are few people who can ask the right question for such a long time.

Originally, no one really took Fan Jin to heart as a corrugated hat staff, even if he was a painter, it was nothing more than a painter's ability, and it was not enough to become an opponent or a threat. After all, there are many people who accompany the governor to sing and laugh, and there are not many of them. But the person who can keep the governor for so long can't help but make people think about it.

One person asked Zhu Dashi: "Brother Zhu, what is the origin of this Fan Jin, and why does Zhongcheng care about him so much?" ”

"I don't know very well, I just know that he seems to have a little friendship with the young master of the Sa family, and the examination of the Anti-Fengxuan Poetry Society was led by Sa Shizhong. The relationship between the two is probably not ordinary. ”

"Ti Ride? Zhongcheng used a person recommended by Tiqi as a curtain friend, which doesn't seem to be a big ......."

"It's nothing, Zhongcheng is selfless in his heart, why care about Jinyi?"

As soon as Zhu Dashi said this, the friends of the curtain also realized that they had lost their words, and hurriedly opened the topic, "This Fan Jin has been talking to Zhongcheng for so long, but he doesn't know what he is talking about. If only someone could ask. ”

A serving errand officer came out of the inner room, and several staff members hurriedly stepped forward to block the errand officer's way and asked what Ling Yunyi was doing. The errand officer said: "Dazhong Cheng does not let outsiders approach, and the specific situation is not clear, only that they are playing chess." ”

"Playing chess? Playing chess in the morning? "Zhu Dashi, as Lingyunyi's money and food master, in addition to dealing with official affairs, is also his preferred chess friend. In his opinion, Fan Jin, a young man, is by no means inferior to him, and he has an appetite for Ling Yunyi in terms of style, perhaps this is what makes Ling Zhongcheng happy to see Hunting, but it is unknown. If that's all there is, it's not surprising, he laughs:

"We are obsessed with chess, Fan Xiaoyou's chess strength, Lao Yu is also very admired, Dazhong Cheng likes this, and everyone is not unclear. Fan Xiaoyou accompanied Dazhong Cheng to play a few games of chess, and it is not uncommon to forget the time. I think that when Chu Zhongcheng was in office in Jiangxi, the foolish brother played against Zhongcheng, and he also forgot the time, and now that he thinks about it, he still finds it interesting. What are you going to do now? ”

"Zhongcheng has an order, tell the kitchen that today's meal will be opened in the study, and entertain Fan Gongzi to eat in the study."

By the time Fan Jin said goodbye and came out, it was already time for Shen. When I met with a cadre of staff again, everyone was still enthusiastic, and they were still talking about the red sleeves to recruit flowers and wine, but somehow, Fan Jin always felt that the relationship between the two was a little estranged, not as harmonious as when they first met.

Strictly abiding by the lesson of the staff not to cross the line, he smiled and politely declined the kindness of his colleagues, took leave early, and returned to the courtyard he rented. Looking at his back, Zhu Dashi shook his head secretly, and a thought popped up in his heart: This scholar is worth beware of.

When Fan Jin arrived home, the county records and tax payment records he asked for had already been delivered. Sister Hu has already left, thinking that she brought money to send to her mother. Looking at the neatly packed bed, thinking that just yesterday, a girl gave her most precious body to herself, recalling that scene, Fan Jin only felt a little headache, and couldn't help but beat it lightly with his hand, "What should I do to solve this problem." Headache...... Headache. ”

Without someone to help, everything can only rely on himself, just when he is ready to go outside to buy a pot of boiling water to brew the tea, and then slowly flip through the county records. There was a knock on the courtyard door, and then someone shouted: "Fan Gongzi, Fan Gongzi is at home?" ”

Fan Jin opened the door and saw that outside the door, eight healthy servants in green clothes and small hats were lined up, but the middle one was an acquaintance with two sides: Zhang Shilu.

The previous contact experience between the two was really not very pleasant, but this time he was full of smiles, it didn't look like malice, although he had a servant behind him, but he was holding a gift box instead of a stick, which made Fan Jin uncertain about the other party's intention for a while.

When Zhang Shilu saw Fan Jin, he hurriedly rushed to give a salute and said: "Brother Fan, you and I are in the same year as the same exam, so we should be more close and closer." It's just that I've been entangled in trivial matters and can't see each other, so I only took time out to visit today. It's a shame to say that the younger brother has been studying at home to prepare for exams, and the people in the family have little control. I didn't know until yesterday that the slaves and maids under my command had the audacity to blackmail Brother Fan, didn't this deliberately ruin the friendship of our brothers? Come on, push people over! ”

gave an order, but saw that someone else kicked and beat a few people in front of Fan Jin's eyes, these people were all tied with ropes, their faces were colorful, as if they had opened a dye shop, and they were embarrassed. Looking closely, it seems that one of them is the housekeeper who led the team to escort Hu Butcher to Fan Jin to ask for silver that day, and the others can't recognize it. The servants named by Sa Shizhong to deal with were among the people who were not beaten, and Fan Jin couldn't recognize them clearly, such a small role had long forgotten his appearance.

"These slaves, deceiving their superiors and subordinates, secretly rented out this yard on the one hand, and blackmailed the tenants on the other hand, wanting to pay the rent for nothing. They did this to hide it from the Lord's family, we don't know anything, and they have ruined their reputation in vain. If people who don't know hear it, what kind of domineering family is my Zhang family, my ancestors and grandchildren for several generations, building bridges and roads, and doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, isn't it in vain? It just doesn't make sense. This stick is only a small punishment and a big warning, and if you dare to come to Brother Fan in the future to make noise, Brother Fan only needs to say a word, and the little brother will break their legs! ”

Fan Jin smiled and made a gesture towards the courtyard, "Brother Zhang, let's talk about it if you have something to say." ”

"I'm about to bother."

Several servants took the gifts and put them on the stone table in the courtyard, then withdrew again, closed the courtyard door, and left only the courtyard for Fan Jin, Zhang Shilu, and others. Zhang Shiliu was in the room, looking at those volumes, flipping them a few times, and couldn't help nodding and saying: "Brother Fan is worthy of being the head of the South China Sea case, he really worked hard, he did errands in the middle school, and he didn't forget to study the article." ”

Fan Jin saw that he couldn't distinguish between the account books and the articles, so he didn't bother to correct them, so he only smiled, "Brother Zhang is busy, how did he think of coming to the younger brother?" Is it possible to collect the house? ”

"Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding. This house was a study room for the younger brother to study at the beginning, and then he didn't use it anymore, so he was idle. My family is not short of this house to live in, and no one cares about it, who knows that the people below actually use this idea to make money. Brother Fan, please look, the younger brother brought this. ”

Zhang Shilu came to the outer room, picked up a wooden box from the stone table, and sent it to Fan Jin. When I opened the lid of the box, I saw a corner of paperwork inside. Fan Jin looked at Zhang Shilu, "Brother Zhang, what is this?" ”

"The deed of this small courtyard, the formalities of the household, the younger brother has completed it, and from today onwards, this small courtyard is Brother Fan's property. You just have to live with confidence, no one dares to harass Brother Fan. Look at what you are not satisfied with this house, just say, the younger brother arranged for someone to repair it. In addition, fifty taels of silver were also prepared, as a reparation for the crime, and Brother Fan had the right to watch. Hu Lao Shibo's ...... As if I hadn't, I've torn off the IOU, and there will be no more trouble. Since the woman in my family has a relationship with the second brother Hu, according to the younger brother's opinion, if she would have fulfilled their good deeds, I don't know what Brother Fan thinks? ”

Fan Jinpi took the deed with a smile and read it twice, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it aside and looked at Zhang Shilu again.

"Brother Zhang, your subordinates are all outside, we are talking in the room, they can't hear it, and you don't have to be afraid of losing face. Everyone understands that people don't say foolish words, and we are not so generous between us, although I am working under Zhongchengmen, but today is the first day to take office, and my strength is limited, and I am afraid that a slight identity is not in the eyes of you, a genius in Guangzhou. You give money and a house only to your wife, what do you want, say it first, if I can do it, I can consider one or two, if I can't do it, I'm afraid I can't afford your gift. ”

Zhang Shilu smiled awkwardly, "Brother Fan, what you said is far away, the junior brother only came today to make amends, and has no other thoughts." It's just that...... It's a little troublesome, and I hope that Fan Gongzi will help Guan say a thing or two. The thing is...... It's also a little related to this courtyard, and it's not just the evil obstacle there. ”

He pointed to the well covered with stone slabs, "This is the girl sent by the family to accompany me to study, who was originally to serve me in eating and living, but she actually had a thought that she shouldn't have, wanted to be the hostess, and took the initiative to provoke the little brother, wanting to cut first and then play." I think that the younger brother is a gentleman who reads the books of the sages, how can he do such an inappropriate act? Not only was she not fooled, but she also reprimanded her, not wanting this woman to think about it, so she threw herself into the well. Tell me, is there such a conscienceless person in the world, who doesn't say anything about his own death, and has a good broken? The younger brother cared about her family's reputation, and didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he only gave her family a few taels of silver, and reported it as an emergency. This matter is all over, but I don't know who it is now, and he is pleading a few splashes in his family, saying that my family abused the girl to death, and he wants to fight a lawsuit, this is not a bloody mouth. ”

Fan Jin nodded while listening, and then asked: "Zhang Jiacai is very powerful, are you still afraid of a lawsuit with a few poor people?" ”

"That's not what they said, their family didn't go to the yamen to shout grievances, they were shouting and making trouble on the street, and the people in the yamen knew right from wrong, and they wouldn't let their appearance defile Eryin's eyes. But who can do what is done on the street? This is not Brother Sa's subordinates, it is said that he has been talking to the family for the past two days, asking about the situation back then, and the questions are very detailed, and I am afraid that I will have to intervene. Brother Fan, think about it, when did this folk matter have anything to do with Jinyiwei? The younger brother wanted to find Brother Sa to theorize, but he was busy with nobles, saying that he was going to Zhaoqing to do military affairs, so I could only find Brother Fan to find a way. ”

Fan Jin said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, this is your news is wrong, yesterday the younger brother was still eating and drinking with Brother Sa, and today he borrowed his carriage to go to the governor's yamen, I guarantee that he will definitely be at home now." Just go and worship, he will be there. ”

Zhang Shilu smiled embarrassedly, "This ...... Maybe the little guy below made a mistake, but since the little brother is here, he won't look for anyone else, but only ask Brother Fan to do a lot. The younger brother now has to prepare for the Taoist exam carefully, and there is still a township exam after the Taoist exam, so he really has no time to deal with this secular lawsuit. I have been a scholar for generations, so I naturally know that the field is bigger than the sky, and I hope that Brother Fan will say something on behalf of the younger brother, so as not to get involved in such things. ”

Jin Yiwei's current authority is much worse than in the past, and the main purpose of existence is to make a fortune. Once you find an opportunity to make money, the clerks below will definitely not let it go.

For example, Zhang Shilu, a famous disciple of the imperial examination, has a talent name in his own right, and usually Jinyiwei does not dare to provoke him, and even Sa Shizhong has to make him a friend. But now that his family has fallen because of the military rations, and when he is in internal and external troubles, his majesty is not as good as in the past, and Jinyi is looking for a reason to cut off this fat sheep.

The friendship between Sa Shizhong and Zhang Shilu is just ordinary, and naturally because of this friendship, he will not hinder his financial path, and he will not even meet in person, which is also the proper meaning of the question. As for myself, I can say something about it, but the price is ...... Obviously not this house plus a few dozen taels of silver.

Fan Jin pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Brother Zhang, your family is a famous family in Guangzhou, and you naturally have a friendship with the yamen. ”

"That's natural, the younger brother's family is a scholarly family, and he has some incense friendship with his parents and officials, even if it is a government office, the younger brother often comes and goes. However, if this brocade yamen intervenes, the local yamen is afraid that it will be inconvenient. ”

"I understand that it's not your case to ask you this question, but that I have one thing, and I want Brother Zhang to do it for me. Let's discuss, you help me send a submission to the Nanhai County Ya, and I will help you go and talk to Brother Sa for a few words. As you know, my mentor is now in Foshan, so I only need to send the submission to my mentor, and it's the same. But in that case, it would be too bad for the second year of high school Yin to save face, so I plan to do both things, and send one copy each to the two yamen. You must ensure that my submission is sent to Gao Eryin, and most importantly, you can't let the Hong family know the content of it, you may agree? ”

Zhang Shilu thought for a while, and smiled to himself on his face, "Brother Fan, are you going to attack the Hong family?" This kind of arbitrary country stick, the younger brother has long heard of its notoriety, and he should be taught some lessons, and this matter is wrapped up in the younger brother. ”
