Although Fan Jin's words came first, and Xu Liu's well-behaved and cute appearance, there was no pressure, but the identity was there, and it was not really possible to ignore it. The identity of Wei Guogong's daughter was enough to make Fan's mother's spirit tense like a bowstring, and she was ashamed of her official dialect with a strong Cantonese accent.

Miss Xu Liu and Fan's mother actually have nothing to say, and it is difficult to communicate with each other, but she still asks long and short questions there, and Fan Jin finally reminded her that it was not early, but she said generously: "I just want to stay and accompany my aunt for dinner." I've asked the cook at home to prepare the banquet, and I'll deliver it in a moment. I knew that my brother-in-law's identity was different from the past and he couldn't leave the county, so I specially asked the family to prepare a few good banquets and take them to the yamen to eat. I'm here to serve my aunt's meal. My aunt finally came to Jiangning, don't be in a hurry to go to Beijing, take a good look around the city these days to buy things, I'll arrange it. ”

The level of chefs in the Wei Mansion is not comparable to that of ordinary restaurant chefs, the banquet is extremely exquisite, and the ingredients are all high-end. Xu Liu accompanied Fan's mother in the inner house, Xu Weizhi and Fan Jin ate and drank outside, and Hua Jiyin asked for leave in Guozijian and specially accompanied him. The rest of the Fan family was not qualified to sit on this occasion, so they all ate and drank separately outside.

The arrival of the mother of the parents of a county is also a big thing for the management of the realm, in addition to the Wei State Mansion, many gentry have already sent gifts to express their filial piety, which is also the oil and water of being a magistrate. Yang Fu sent people to send ten fine silk horses, saying that they were making clothes for the female relatives and the old lady in the family, but Yang Shida himself did not show up.

During this time, the Yang family and the county yamen have always had this kind of communication attitude, and there is no shortage of human etiquette, but the head of the family does not show up. Only a housekeeper was sent to cooperate in lending, and the funds only a few hundred taels could not support the field, and at present, Wang Zijing cooperated with the county yamen. This attitude seems to be estranged, but the marriage between Miss Biao and Jiyin was agreed by the old lady, and she could go through the process just by waiting for Jiyin to be filial, which is contrary to this performance.

Since the fast catcher has been firmly grasped in his hands, with these ears to report the news, Shangyuan's wind and grass Fan Jin can grasp it in time. In particular, wealthy businessmen like the Yang family are listed as key targets, and they know more about it. Regarding the Yang family's attitude, Fan Jin probably understood in his heart that Yang Shida didn't want to get too close to him, but he didn't dare to offend himself. Especially the shrewd woman of the Song family will not do anything to cure the damage of one period, and it must be maintained on both sides.

The situation of the Yang family is not good, although there is a cousin who is married and greatly handles the marriage between Rouge and Luo Wu, and marries the eldest girl according to the pomp of marrying a righteous daughter, but Yang Baocai is still sick in bed and can't take care of things. It is said that he relies on expensive tonics every day, and three or five subordinates serve him, and he is completely powerless in business. Several of his contemporaries are either in their hometown, or they are born before him, and there are many unsuccessful people in the next generation, and only Yang Shida can support the field.

Although Yang Shida is a shrewd person and has been out to help the family with business since a long time, the impression of impetuousness in the past is deep-rooted, and many businessmen do not trust him. In addition, the Yang family has suffered a series of accidents, and it is not ideal to do business.

Fortunately, the Yang family's money seems to have been loosened recently, and some people have made no promise to withdraw money, and depositors are more confident in the Yang family's repayment ability, so they will no longer withdraw money. Without the run crisis, the Yang family's current business can be maintained, as long as Fan Jin does not expose the diorama, there is a chance to turn over.

Looking at those satins, Xu Weizhi joked with Jiyin again, saying that he should remember his godfather's kindness for the rest of his life, otherwise the wife who is as beautiful as a fairy will be his godmother. Jiyin was so amused that his face was flushed and he didn't dare to make a sound, but Fan Jin maintained it for his righteous son, drinking and laughing with Xu Weizhi.

Xu Weizhi took a sip of wine and said: "This Yang family is now close to Huang Jien again, and I heard that it is from the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to get business." This is really a human being who can't live, and at this time, even the gods can't hold it back. I'll tell you the truth, I'm afraid Lao Huang is going to be bad this time. The imperial court sent Zhu Shaohu down to deal with him. The news from Jingli that Lao Huang sent the satin last year faded without waiting to wear it, and Banzai lost his temper. I went to check the warehouse again, and found that the satin used in the first two years was not very good, and the satin for the hundred officials was still woolen blue cloth, and the color was also badly lost, and the size was not enough. Long live this time, it's time to check his account. At this time, if you are close to the Huang family, you are looking for death! ”

Fan Jin knew that he was well-informed, and asked, "Is there a problem with the account of the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau?" Many of the weavers there are craftsmen, and many of them are businessmen, so how can they lose money? ”

"That's not as simple as having a problem, it's about poking a hole in the sky." Xu Weizhi smiled, "Retreat, you are a magistrate, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved." I'll just say a few and you'll understand what's going on. Craftsmen weaving silk is an old practice of Hongwu, and it has long been inapplicable. Nowadays, they all collect money from craftsmen to serve on behalf of them, and the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau recruits businessmen from the private sector to undertake weaving and dyes. Some of them use patterns, and they are also skilled craftsmen hired from the private sector. You haven't forgotten Dong Xiaowu, people like him have a lot of locks in the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau. Find a crime to arrest the weavers with high means to weave, and do not pay the wages, but the upper ones are reimbursed according to the wages. There are many flowers on the materials and investment quotations, which is actually a common practice for the eunuchs, if there is no money to be made, what will you do in Jiangning. But Lao Huang has done a little too much, so this shouldn't be. At the beginning, he was also a close confidant of the first emperor, and he lost the battle for the prime minister and was put in Jiangning, in fact, he wanted him to make a fortune. He is also broad-handed, and he is generous in making friends, and some small things are covered up for him. But in the past two years, Lao Huang has really ...... Excessively, what is in the accounts...... I'm afraid something big is going to happen. But no matter how big the matter is, it has nothing to do with you and my brother, let's just eat our wine, it doesn't matter who rises and who loses, what does it have to do with me. This time, the family members who retreated and let them play well in Jiangning, and the little brother will definitely do his best. You're welcome! ”

Fan Jin knows very well that although people like Xu Weizhi are squirming, they are not confused. The reason why they seem to be willful and reckless is because they know that their standards of conduct are different from ordinary people. If you can do evil without being punished, why not do it? But they will not touch the real red line, but will take the initiative to stay away, so they can't expect to find out Huang Enhou's handle from Xu Weizhi, so they can only slowly find a way.

When the banquet was over, it was already late, Xu Liu was taken back by his brother, and the mournful eyes when he left were very pitiful. Mother Fan also praised Miss Six for being a beautiful lady in the world, knowing how to speak etiquette, the most rare thing is that there is no shelf on her body, whoever marries her is a blessing for eight lifetimes and so on.

Fan Jin didn't feel anything about this, and the biggest question in front of him right now was actually where to sleep tonight. According to his heart, he naturally wanted to sleep at Liang Pandi's, but the problem was that Sister Hu took care of her mother during this time and made a lot of effort. What's more, she owes herself a lot, so she can only sleep with her on the first night.

Although the two of them had already done everything, Sister Hu was still very shy, and first went to the kitchen to bring hot water to serve Fan Jin to wash her feet, looking at her kneeling there to wipe her feet, Fan Jin's heart was inexplicably sour. If you say that the woman who has lost the most in this world, I am afraid that it is the little woman in front of you. She gave everything for herself, and she couldn't give her anything.

Take a deep breath and try to keep your tone as gentle as possible, "Big sister, sit down, I'll wash your feet." ”

"Ahh

The girl, who was so frightened, hurriedly knocked over the basin of water, and the water flowed everywhere. She waved her arms and shook her head, "No...... This is absolutely not a no-go! Brother Jin is a Wenqu star and a god, wash my feet, I will be struck by lightning! ”

"Then sit down and we'll talk."

The eldest sister sat beside Fan Jin tremblingly, her face was still red, and she wanted to say something to her sweetheart with anticipation, but a thousand words were blocked in her throat, like thousands of troops crowded into a small plank road. The heart is pounding, and the childhood sweetheart that was once familiar has now become so strange. It was so strange that she didn't dare to approach, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from him, as if it was a great sin for the two to sit together. Is this man the one who grew up with him and is the best reader in Xiao Fanzhuang, or is he a big man...... She was a little confused and couldn't tell the difference.

After a long period of silence, Sister Hu squeezed out a sentence: "Enter the brother...... Shall I make you pig intestines tomorrow? Although the food and drinks were delicious, I still thought that the pork intestines we cooked best were in the countryside. ”

Fan Jin's heart was pierced by a sharp arrow again. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he deserved to die, and heaven and earth would not tolerate it. On the temple, he can deal with him in front of all officials, but he is ashamed of himself in front of this country woman and has nothing to say.

He hugged Sister Hu tightly, and he couldn't say anything except sorry. Sister Hu obediently took off her clothes for her sweetheart, and said, "How can Brother Jin be sorry for me?" Actually, I'm dragging my brother down. My aunt said she wanted to give me a concubine, but I knew I wasn't worthy. I'm too ugly to qualify for this. As long as Brother Jin doesn't drive me away, the future lady can let me serve Brother Jin. I...... We don't want to be husband and wife, just let me be your little girl, and let me serve you tea and food. Of course, it would be best if she could give birth to Brother Jin, Auntie likes children the most, and she keeps talking about wanting to hold her grandson. When I have a child, I won't fight with my wife for any status or anything, my father taught me to fight for that, but I don't want it, I just want to be good to my brother. ”

"I will definitely give you the identity of the concubine, as long as you become a relative, you will be the first concubine of my Fan family! I won't let you follow me without a name! ”

"No...... When I was helping my third sister do business in Guangzhou, I heard people say that big families even gave their lives for the sake of fame. I can't occupy such a good position as an ugly girl, as long as Brother Jin is happy, I will be happy, and I don't care about the rest. When Daddy came, he told me a lot, asking me to fight for my family and my brother, but they wanted those things, I didn't want them, all I wanted was that Brother Jin loved me and loved me. My younger brother is the most unsuccessful, and in the past few months, I have stolen dozens of taels of silver from my family to gamble outside, but I have filled it with my own private money, and I have not let the family suffer. The money was a bonus given to me by the third sister, I didn't hide it privately, and I didn't secretly subsidize my mother's family, I just didn't want my aunt to be angry. If I do something wrong, Brother Jin will punish me. I took the rest of the silver with me, and I took it all if I wanted to use it, and the money was saved for Brother Jin. ”

The carved wooden bed made a sound and played a beautiful chord.

Fan Jin didn't know if he would let his eldest sister become a mother this night, but he didn't care anymore. This poor little woman, who owes too much to herself, can give too little, if she can give her a child, she is willing. In the future, the anger of the Zhang family will be borne by himself.

The eldest sister, who was as soft as mud, smiled in Fan Jin's arms, with this contact, Fang Cai's restraint was reduced a lot, especially now that the room was dark, her heart was extremely steady. In this environment, Brother Jin can't see that he is ugly, and he won't feel that Brother Jin is strange, and that familiar lover is back. She was a little bolder, and she dared to say it, from the fact that her father helped the sow of the East Village Ah Hua family to deliver the baby and quarreled with her stepmother, and how the scholar who pursued Ah Qiao persevered, but she was never able to move Ah Qiao's heart.

In short, it's all about the shortcomings of parents, and the chickens and dogs. She has no talent, neither in business nor management. He has no talent in learning, and even if he tries hard to learn to read and write, his literacy ability is still very poor. The things that I care about are also short-term and long-term in this kind of parent.

For this kind of woman, Fan Jin was originally very disgusted. But in front of the eldest sister, he did not have the qualifications to dislike her, but listened very carefully and agreed, and tried to pretend that he was very interested in all this. Only in this way can you repay your debts, even if only with a trace of interest. Determined to fight loan sharks, he actually owes a love debt that he can't afford to pay off in his life, and the woman around him is the biggest creditor in his life.

Suddenly, the eldest sister said: "It's not early, you should go, brother, I'll serve you to get dressed." ”

"Let's go? Where to? ”

"Of course it's the third sister. I know that Brother Jin's favorite is the third sister, and I'm very happy to be able to come to me first, but I can't let you stay with me all night. In the past, you could go and ...... with the third sister during the day Intimate. But now that you are a big man, you have to do a lot of things during the day, and you can't distract yourself anymore. Then you can go at night, don't worry, I won't tell my aunt. ”

"Silly girl! What nonsense are you talking about! I'm here with you tonight, and I'm not going anywhere. If you don't believe me, we can tick the box, just like when we were in the village. ”

The eldest sister hugged Fan Jin's waist and laughed, "Brother Jin, you are so good to me...... Can you sleep with me tonight? ”

The already tired eldest sister went through a lot of hard work, and soon fell asleep. Fan Jin, who couldn't sleep for a long time, stared at the head of the bed with wide eyes, and repeatedly thought in his heart how to make up for his eldest sister.

This feeling of indebtedness lasted until the next morning, and just after breakfast, Hu Er ran to his brother-in-law to ask for favors: "Brother-in-law, send your cook to me to be a child, right?" It was the one who met the old lady yesterday. If you are reluctant, I will exchange my wife for you, and exchange the wife that Ming Media is marrying for your cook, you can't help but give your little brother this face, right? ”
