The night was getting deeper, and there was only a dim candle lamp in the room, and the uncertain firelight reflected on Xie Qingyi's face, and there was a hazy smell.

"The Yu family? But the rich man of the land. When Huang Mei was in trouble, he took advantage of the panic of the people to wantonly collect the displaced people, conceal the population, and bully the land. When the matter of Huang Mei was decided, he took the opportunity to donate a villager elder, and he did not do anything less than lack of morality! When the old man was in the county governor Cao, he punished several cases of the Yu family occupying the land, and the Yu family secretly hated it in their hearts, and they were forced by the lord's power to never dare to bare their teeth. Now seeing the old man pass away, bullying the young master, and talking about the rent owed by our family back then. I heard that the head of the family, Yu Fuhao, once said that he would use our ancestral land to pay off the debt! I really don't know who gave him this guts! ”

"The Xie family still has foreign debts?" Xie Zuo was shocked, ignoring Xie Qingyi's indignation, and hurriedly asked. This matter has to be figured out, could it be that the huge Xie Mansion is just a spectacle?

"Yes!" Xie Qingyi obviously didn't see the young master's troubles, and said to himself: "The harvest was not good in the past few years, and the old man passed away without leaving any family wealth. I heard my father say that there are still a lot of debts, but as long as I wait until this autumn's harvest, I should be able to fill more than half of the holes! ”

Xie Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't Jin Yuqi's outward defeat, he didn't want his life to end before it began. Suddenly remembered that Xie Qingyi had mentioned another name just now: "What about the Qin family?" ”

"Qin family! That's a big deal! Xie Qingyi seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and his eyes lit up: "It is said that Master Qin was just a poor man back then, and he entered Nanjing to study alone, but fortunately he was favored by Zhongcheng in Nanjing's left-behind imperial history, and he was exceptionally promoted, and he was released to Hexi County as an official, and he has been in the position of county official from Yuncao History." Last year, the former county lord went to office, and Master Qin made up for the honor of the commander. With the body of a cold family, he has the power of ten thousand households, not to mention in our township, the whole county of Huinan is a legend! ”

Xie Zuo can't understand the concept of poor families and wealthy families in this era, so he can't resonate with Xie Qingyi's words. Looking at the young scholar with stars in his eyes, he wondered: "Could it be that this Master Qin also has a vendetta with our family?" ”

"Of course not!" Xie Qingyi rolled his eyelids, as if he was very disdainful of the young master's opinion: "The master and the master of the Qin family have a good relationship, they are both colleagues and friends, how can there be any old grudges!" ”

"Then why should I worry about the Qin family?" Xie Zuo was a little confused.

Xie Qingyi suddenly showed a strange expression, and there was a little flickering between his words:

"Our family and the Qin family are good friends, so naturally, it is not surprising that the two masters want to go further. So, five years ago, the master and the master of the Qin family made a marriage contract, agreeing that when the young master reaches the age of sixteen, he will marry the young lady of the Qin family. And young master, you will turn sixteen in March next year......"

"Hiss......" Xie Zuo had a toothache. I never thought there would be such a setting! With the body of a little fart child whose hair has not yet grown, he is actually going to get married? Besides, how old is Miss Qin's family? Since they are children, it is estimated that they will not be more than fifteen years old! Although Xie Zuo didn't resist Lori, at most he was just teasing and taking advantage of some tongues. Do you really want him to hug a little girl who may still be in junior high school in his previous life? Xie Zuo felt that he was not evil enough to do that!

In his mind, he was still making up for the picture palpitations that might occur in his brain, but Xie Qingyi's words below made him eliminate this trouble.

"To say that at the beginning, our family and the Qin family were also a good match. But since the death of the old man, and the promotion of the old man Qin to the county honor, there has been a gap between the two family backgrounds. Now there are rumors outside the world that the Qin family has plans to withdraw from the marriage, although Master Qin has not said it explicitly, but there are all kinds of rumors in the market, some say that Miss Qin is happy with other men, and it is also said that Master Qin plans to let his daughter climb another high branch, and it is rumored that she has a nose and eyes, which is very unbearable! ”

Xie Zuo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and in turn comforted Xie Qingyi, who was still angry: "My parents are just getting married, and if I retreat, what is the value?" ”

Xie Qingyi's eyes widened: "The young master is very self-contained." You know, when the old man was an official, he was in charge of patrolling lawlessness, and there were many people who offended! When he was in office, he was naturally fine, but now that the master is gone, the punishable Xiaoxiao urinates in the past have risen up and attacked. If it is in an enlightened and prosperous world, even if it attracts people's envy, it is actually nothing, and they are just squires and bullies. Unfortunately, what year is it now? Bandits are everywhere, homeless people are troubled, where is there peace at all! ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Fortunately, Master Qin's relationship with our family is well known, and according to the face of the county, he has been safe and sound for more than a year. If the marriage contract with the Qin family is really dissolved, and our family loses its support, these guys will definitely swarm like hungry wolves and gnaw our family to the bone, do you believe it or not? ”

"Uh......" Xie Zuo was choked speechless by his scholar's words.

It is also said that even in the future generations, if a departing criminal police captain does not rely on the protection of the intricate personal relationships when he is in office, I am afraid that the former enemy alone will be enough to drink a pot. How can this be the case in a society with a sound legal system, let alone a feudal society where transportation and communications are not well developed? What Xie Qingyi said is common in the world, and it is not unusual at all.

Xie Zuo rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance. I thought that I had crossed over, and from then on I would be able to live happily as the eldest young master of the landlord's family, but I never thought that the huge Xie Mansion was just a leaky broken ship, with a bright surface, but not only was it riddled with foreign debts, but it was also full of enemies. Who did you recruit to provoke whom, and you have to be more miserable than others?

In the final analysis, it is still the lack of self-protection strength! Xie Zuo let out a long sigh, and once again resented the star map system in his heart. But if the system is a little stronger, why are you so entangled? Not to mention the Red Rabbit and Fang Tian Painting Halberd, even if you can have a few more experience pills, why worry about the Yu family and the Qin family! Who dares to come to the door arrogantly and try one? Beat you so that you can't take care of yourself without explaining!

Speaking of the Star Map, Xie Zuo suddenly remembered the reward of Lu Bu's mission. Reaching out and taking out the small green pill from his arms, Fang wanted to hand it to the young scholar, but suddenly hesitated.

People are not sages, and Xie Zuo has no intention of being a gentleman who does not want to repay his kindness. The acquisition of attribute Dan is easy to say, but difficult to say...... It doesn't seem that difficult. But he also spent a lot of thought on it, if he rashly gave the stupid big man, he turned his face and didn't recognize people in the future, wouldn't he lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

But after thinking about it, the attribute Dan clearly says "limited to aborigines", and you can't give birth to cubs in your own hands, so it's better to hand it over to the stupid big one, so you can enhance your strength! Besides, since the crossing, only this kid has been by his side, and even has the affection to stand up for himself, do you have any other choice besides him?

Thinking of this, Xie Zuo narrowed his eyes and held the pill in front of Xie Qingyi:

"Tsing Yi, didn't you say you wanted the elixir, yes or no?"
