When Laifu rushed back to Chenjiawu from Qiantang County, it was already dusk, and two tenants with their children and daughters, a total of seven people, had been settled in the farmhouse at the northern foot of Jiuyao Mountain, and another old man and a young man followed Laifu into the dock fort, the old one armed, with scars on his face, and the young one was about twelve or thirteen years old, but he was as tall as an adult man.

Laifu was in a heavy mood, but he did everything that Xiao Langjun explained, and he never slackened.

Chen's mother Li is taking Zongzhi and Run'er to lean on the railing on the third floor and look north, looking forward to Chen Caozhi's return, waiting for a long time without seeing a figure, the sun has gone west, tired birds return to the forest, eyes are sour, but always think that maybe the next moment, the little crown of the shirt will turn out from behind the row of willows, striding towards the dock fort, so I waited and waited, but saw Laifu come back with two faces, went downstairs to ask what was going on, and said: "It's okay, just stay." "I asked the name of the one-armed old man, and he said that his name was Jing Nu, and the young man was only twelve years old, and his name was Ran Sheng.

Laifu didn't see Chen Caozhi, so he asked Chen's mother Li, and Chen's mother Li frowned and said: "I followed a soap-robed Taoist to Baobao Mountain, and I haven't come back yet, which really worries the old woman." ”

Laifu was in a hurry to tell Chen Caozhi something, and he couldn't care about the fatigue of running around all day, and said: "Don't worry, the master mother, Laifu will go to pick up Xiao Langjun, maybe you will meet soon." ”

The young man Ran Sheng only recognized Laifu in Chenjiawu, so he said that he would also follow, and the one-armed old man Jing Nu seemed to be the only one who wanted Ran Sheng to follow, and if Ran Sheng wanted to follow, he would naturally follow.

Laifu went to the kitchen to get three bamboo tubes of water, more than a dozen wheat cakes, and ate all the way to Baobao Mountain with Ran Sheng and Jing Nu.

Five or six miles to the north, the sky was already completely dark, and on the night of the seventh day of the fifth month, the first quarter moon had not yet come out, and the stars were obscured by the clouds, and it was dark and hazy as far as I could see, and I could barely discern the road under my feet.

Laifuzheng regretted not bringing the lantern, so he heard the young man Ran Sheng say: "Uncle Laifu, someone is here over there." ”

Laifu looked closely, and vaguely saw a little light moving slowly in the distance, like a glowing fire, if you don't look carefully, you really can't distinguish it, praised: "It's still a young man's eyes are good." "Hurry up and catch up.

The glimmer of light quickly expanded into the shape of a lantern, and Laifu surrounded his hands in a trumpet shape and shouted, "Is it Xiao Langjun?" ”

The lantern immediately responded: "Yes, Xiao Langjun is back." "It's the sound of the coming shock.

The people on both sides quickly came together, and before Laifu could speak, he saw the burly man next to Chen Cao who was carrying the lantern stuffing the long-handled lantern in his hand into his hand, turned around and strode away, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Laifu was inexplicable, but fortunately, Xiaolangjun, Laizhen, and Laide were all there, so they didn't care, and walked back with the lantern, and the lantern only shone in front of Chen Caozhi.

Chen Caozhi said uneasily: "Laifu, my mother asked you to pick it up, I stayed too late at Ge Xianweng's place, so my mother was worried!" He stared at the two people brought by Fu again, and said: "Laifu brought the two of them - oh, Jing Nu and Ran Sheng, very good, you two will live in Chenjiawu in the future, and you will leave in the future. ”

"Huh!" The young man Ran Sheng remembered Chen Caozhi on the Western Gathering that day, and said strangely: "You, you, how did Xiao Langjun say that the two of us were leaving?" Why, then, did you take me in? ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The two of you are also stateless refugees from the north, my Chen clan is not a scholar clan, it is difficult to shelter the two of you, once the government checks the registration, you will be arrested, and you can only leave in advance." ”

Ran Sheng let out an "oh" and said no more, this twelve-year-old boy had an extraordinary calmness.

Laifu explained to Chen Caozhi what he had done in Qiantang County as he walked, and finally when he went to Feng Mengxiong's Mansion to ask about his household registration, Laifu paused in his tone, and he was so worried that he didn't know how to speak-

Chen Caozhi asked, "Can't Uncle Feng help you get a household registration?" ”

Lai Fu said: "Yes, Feng Xianxiang was very angry, saying that it was not difficult to get a household registration originally, but it was Master Lu who deliberately made it difficult, saying that it should be handled according to the law, and that some shaded households that should not be zhan must be cleared out and transferred to Qiaozhou for resettlement." ”

After Yongjia crossed to the south, the land north of Jianghuai fell under the iron hooves of the Hu people, a large number of displaced people moved south, often the great migration of the whole clan and the county, the millions of displaced people from the north came to the south of the Yangtze River, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court in order to manage them, it was in the vast and sparsely populated land in the south of the Yangtze River according to the state and county where the displaced people were originally located to set up the corresponding overseas Chinese state, overseas Chinese county, the same state, the county of the displaced people still live together, in order to manage, Laifu is Yanzhou people, where he does not know, anyway, it is not a good place, moving there will be very difficult.

Chen Caozhi said: "It's not a violation of the law to get a household registration, it stands to reason that Master Lu will not refute Feng County's face like this-"

Laifu asked with a sad face, "Why is that?" ”

Chen Caozhi didn't answer, and said: "Laifu, don't worry, there will be a way." ”

Ran Sheng, a young man who was hurrying away with his head bored, said: "Uncle Fu, don't worry, if it really doesn't work, then your family will run away with me and Uncle Jing, and then go back to Chenjiawu after the July inspection is over, can the county's master Lu still be here all day!" ”

Displaced people, displaced people, even if they move everywhere, the government can't do anything about them.

Laifu considered more than just his own family, and said: "I'm afraid that the officials of the county bureau will be embarrassed by Xiao Langjun, but my family is a shadow household with the Chen family." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Now there are still two months before the July inspection, we still have time to prepare countermeasures, since Master Lu is going to embarrass my Qian Tang Chen, then I will let him Qian Tang Lu sink to the end!" He soothed his tone for a while, and said: "Let's not talk about these things first, you can relax, the Chen family in the West Building and your Laifu family will never be separated, and Chenjiawu is our home." ”

Chen Caozhi's speech has always been gentle and elegant, and it is the first time he has heard such a fierce wording, and he knows that Xiao Langjun is angry, but does Xiao Langjun really have a way to deal with Master Lu's book? Anyway, Xiao Langjun's words made Laifu feel much more at ease than before.

Chen's mother Li, Zongzhi, Run'er, as well as Xiaochan, Qingzhi, Zeng Yuhuan, Laigui, Laigui's wife Zhao, were all waiting in front of the door, and saw a lantern turning around the willow forest from a distance, Xiaochan, Qingzhi and others cheered together: "Xiaolangjun is back, back!" ”

Chen Caozhi quickened his pace, came to his mother, looked at his mother's aging face and happy eyes, and knelt down and said, "Mother, the child has made the mother worried, and the child will never return late in the future." ”

Chen's mother, Li, hurriedly picked it up and said, "It's good to come back, it's a forty-mile journey to Baobao Mountain, and your legs hurt, right?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Fortunately, the child's physique is much stronger than before." ”

Chen's mother Li listened to the joy, and took her son's hand into the gate of the dock fort, but saw a person pacing in front of the ancestral hall, looking at the way he walked, he was a superficial person, this is Chen Liu, the second son of Chen Caozhi's uncle Chen Man, who was a small official in the county office.

Chen Liu smiled and said, "Seventh Uncle and Mother got the sixteenth brother back?" The sixteenth brother is about to become a Ding, and he still worries the seventh uncle and aunt like this, it's really not-"

"It's the old woman who ordered my son to visit the Gem Mountain, what's the harm if you return a little late!"

Chen's mother, Li, where could she tolerate this Chen Liu, who had a very poor character, said that he didn't say anything, interrupted Chen Liu's words coldly, and walked over with his son's hand.

Chen Liu was very annoyed, and shouted at Chen Caozhi's back: "In a few days, the county will send someone to re-evaluate the grade of Chen's field property, aren't the seventh uncle and sixteenth brother in a hurry?" ”

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as long as things can be compared, they are divided into grades, and the fields are also divided into nine grades according to the barrenness, and the 20 hectares of land of the Chen family in the West Building have been inferior for so many years, and the rent tax paid on the lower grade fields is much less than that of the upper grade fields, if all of them are transferred to the top grade fields, the tenants of the Chen family in the West Building will not be able to afford the rent and tax, and Chen Cao's family will also have to pay huge taxes.

Chen's mother, Li's footsteps, paused slightly, and she hesitated.

Chen Caozhi hugged his mother and said softly: "Mother, let's go, don't pay attention, he is blackmailing." ”
