In the next few days, the summer tax of She County this year was very smooth, and among the grain chiefs of the fifteen districts, it was Wang Fulin's maternal uncle Wu Tianbao who was the first to complete the collection task. On the evening of the day when the tax was paid, Wang Fulin invited Wu Tianbao to his home from the levy and loss warehouse, and the family had a lively meal, Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei were all smiling, and ran to the kitchen to say that they wanted to help Liu Hong's cook, but in fact it added a lot of chaos, but after all, the yard was full of laughter, and there was a happy atmosphere.

After the meal, Wu Tianbao pulled Wang Fulin alone and asked in a low voice, saying that the big family that had been stumbling on him at the beginning, in the end, he had all paid all the summer taxes that should have been paid, and he did not make up a penny. For such a result, Wang Fulin calculated Wu Tianbao's slowest progress at the beginning, but now he was the first to complete it, and then think about what Master Cheng said before, where he still doesn't understand that it is this helper. But this is the relationship between him and Master Cheng, and it is inconvenient for him to say it to this uncle who has been working hard for two months.

Waited until Wu Tianbao stayed overnight, and sent him out of the city early the next morning to return to Yan Town, he wanted to take Cheng Naixuan, who was in his own house, to go to the Cheng family's mansion together, one to say thanks, and the other to explain the matter of escaping from home clearly, but Cheng Naixuan said to Lao Tzu that the mouse saw the cat, and he didn't dare to go at all, but he just begged him to get the ink fragrance out, and he had to go alone. When he arrived at Cheng's house, he first thanked Master Cheng for his strong support for the summer tax work in She County, especially for helping his uncle.

"I wanted to bring Brother Cheng with me, but he said that he had run away from home for so long and didn't have the face to see you, so he ......"

"You don't need to say what a temper my own son has. I don't know yet? Master Cheng raised his eyebrows, and then snorted coldly, "I'm not satisfied with my fiancée but I don't dare to tell me truthfully, I'm afraid!" By the way, you went back and brought Moxiang to him. There are so many people in the family, he only has one ink fragrance, and the others are just tricks to fool around, if he hadn't left a letter for his grandmother and mother when he left, I wouldn't have wanted this son at all, I really don't know where he is like me! ”

For such a harsh evaluation of Master Cheng. Wang Fulin had to sigh that being a tiger father is demanding. He was about to explain another thing a little, when Master Cheng suddenly changed his words.

"As for the vicious dog that he said before when he met Miss Xu's family, he chased him all the way, I went to check. It's hard for me to ask about the ghost's face, but that vicious dog. It was a family member of the Xu family who broke the rope that tied the dog, and the Xu family was not rich, so there were dogs at home to prevent theft, which was just an accident. Seeing Wang Fulin's delicate expression, Master Cheng knew that this little Xiucai had a good relationship with his son, so he might not believe this statement, so he could only sigh, "Go back and sue that kid." If he continues to mess around like this, the Xu family may not look down on him as a son-in-law! ”

If that's the case, Cheng Dagongzi will definitely be happy!

Wang Fulin came to see Master Cheng today. Another thing is to inquire about the movements of the big families in the township, and learned from Master Cheng that the matter of Feipai Bailiang has caused these people to take care of nothing else for the time being, and he has a little peace of mind, and he quit after a while. And this time, there were already people waiting for him outside, it was Cheng Naixuan's grandmother and mother who he had never seen before. The two women were very polite to him. Thousands of instructions, only one thing.

Optimistic about Cheng Naixuan. Don't let that guy mess around. If there is trouble again, Master Cheng will be angry. As mothers and wives, they may not be able to stop Master Cheng's family law!

Because of this, after returning home with the elated ink fragrance, Wang Fulin immediately took Cheng Naixuan by his side, and asked Qi Liang and others to go to the countryside to visit Xixinan. Now that it is the end of July, the summer heat has subsided, and there is gradually an early autumn atmosphere in the mountains, Qi Liang has already entrusted the whole three thousand taels out, and he also wants to have further contact with Wang Xiaoxiu, so he agreed.

These generals all have horses to travel, which is more convenient than Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan. Along the way, Wang Fulin tentatively mentioned whether he could learn to ride a horse from them, Cheng Naixuan immediately intervened, and Qi Liang agreed with his mouth. With such a good start, Wang Fulin used eighteen solutions, both tempting and flickering, and when he arrived in Xixi South Village, he and Qi Liang's names to each other had changed from the original petty officials and Qi Baihu to Wang Xiaodi and Qi Laoge, and the rest of the old pawns were still a little restrained, but they were not as rusty as they were at the beginning.

Because before Wang Daokun left, he had explained to the talents of Fenggan Society, as well as those friends in Xixi South Village, that after he left Huizhou Mansion, the affairs of the Wang family in Songming Mountain were all taken care of by Wang Fulin, and Wang Fulin had recovered the property for the deceived rich people in the village before, so this time he came back to his hometown, and took Qi Liang and others, as soon as he arrived in Xixi South Village, he was immediately invited here and there, and Wu Shouzhun, the nephew of the owner of Wu's orchard, even went to ask his uncle and generously invited everyone to stay in the orchard.

Although Qi Liang had already sent someone to inquire about Wang Xiaoxiucai's great achievements, but at this moment, in the face of such courtesy, his evaluation of Wang Fulin couldn't help but raise a level again.

For a whole afternoon, Wang Fulin's old acquaintance, Songbo, who sold sugar gourds, didn't even make sugar gourds, and personally acted as a guide for everyone, Wu Yourong's neighbor, the hunchbacked Wu Qiye, also took the initiative to ask Ying, and explained to everyone the whole story of the Wu family in Xixi Nan moving here from Xiuning, so that Wang Fulin really took a history lesson. And Qi Liang and the others who were traveling with them could only listen to it regardless of whether they were interested or not, but this kind of treatment of being surrounded by people and being listed as guests had rarely been appreciated in the past, and they all felt that their faces were bright.

In the evening of that day, when he came to the edge of the Fengle River, Wang Fulin thought that he had seen Wang Dao swimming in the wild for three days in the morning, and now that the idler was gone, he was happy to tell it as a joke. This second master Wang, who is quite famous on both sides of the Fengle River, has always had the reputation of wandering, and when he heard that he still had such a preference, the surrounding Wu family suddenly laughed, and Wu Shouzhun even slapped his hands and said: "When I look back and see the second master, I must let him swim well, let me wait to cheer for him!" ”

Qi Liang grew up on the beach when he was a child, and he didn't go into the water less, and the water was very good. Hearing that the second master Wang, who was quite famous in Fujian, also had such Yaxing, he only felt that the distance was suddenly shortened, and he looked at the river for a while. Wang Fulin on the side saw it in his eyes, and he had a plan in his heart.

Wu's orchard was completely designed according to the standards of Jiangnan water town gardens, for Qi Liang, who had rarely set foot in such a place before. Living in this real garden house is a very new experience. Although the environment here is better than the ancestral house of Wang Fulin's family, he still can't fall asleep over and over, and it is easy to fall asleep. Walk to the small stream in the orchard that leads the living water of the Fengle River into the garden. He thought of the clear Fengle River, and suddenly had a hint of impulse. It must be known that since he arrived in Jizhen in the north, he has rarely gone down the river, after all, as Qi Jiguang's personal soldier, he cannot be criticized.

That's when it happened. He suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Brother Qi can't sleep?" Why don't we go to Fengle River early in the morning? ”

Qi Liang came back to his senses, turned his head and saw that it was Wang Fulin, followed by a clever little guy behind him, he couldn't help laughing: "Little brother Wang can swim?" ”

"But don't let anyone hear you." Wang Fulin looked around, sneered and said, "Let people know that I laughed at my uncle yesterday, and now I am going to go down to the river, I will definitely laugh at me!" ”

Wang Fulin took Ye Qinglong to lead the way in front of Qi Liang. In the labyrinthine orchard of the Wu family, he only walked around for a while yesterday, but he was able to remember the way. At this time, they found the side door, woke up the gatekeeper, and the three of them slipped out. After a short time, they came to the Fengle River, and saw that the river was quiet in the morning light, and there was no one on it.

Wang Fulin instructed Ye Qinglong to watch the wind by the river. Then he asked Qi Liang with a smile: "How is Brother Qi's water nature?" ”

"I grew up by the sea, how do you say it's watery?" Qi Liang said that he was blind in one eye. But at this moment, there is a sense of confidence in the wind and waves, "What." Little brother Wang, don't you believe it? ”

"No, I learned this swimming secretly, I haven't been in the water for a long time, if something goes wrong when I turn around, I'm afraid I have to rely on you to save people, brother."

Wang Fulin took Ye Qinglong with him, purely to call for help when there was a problem, and when he heard Qi Liang boasting about his water nature, he immediately entrusted the safety issue to the past. Taking advantage of the other party's incredulous eyes, he had already taken off his clothes and moved his body into the water. This is the first time he has gone into the water since he came to this year inexplicably, in the past, his body did not recover, the crisis of fame was in front of him, and then he did not have a strong lifeguard, and now there is a self-proclaimed seaside who grew up, he finally does not have to worry, first fluttered twice in the shallow water on the shore to find a feeling, and restored his ability to coordinate his hands and feet, and he gradually swam forward.

After a while, he felt the sound of water behind him, and he wondered who was chasing him. He hadn't been in the water for so long, and whether it was the freestyle or backstroke he had learned before, he had long been unable to do the standard movements, but when Qi Liang surpassed him, when he saw that although the other party was fast, it was definitely not a good-looking action, his little depression was thrown into Java, and he hurriedly tried to catch up. When he followed the people across the Fengle River to the boundary of Songming Mountain on the other bank, seeing that the shore was almost there, he dragged his tired body, but he gave birth to a kind of refreshment that he had not felt since he hit this era.

No wonder as Wang Daoguan, he would swim in the river early in the morning, and it felt good to be unrestrained and unscrupulous!

Qi Liang stared at Wang Xiaoxiucai, who was full of comfort, and suddenly glanced at Songming Mountain Village behind him, and then said with a smile: "Little brother Wang, there is a woman from your village who has come to wash her clothes over there." ”

Wang Fulin raised his head and saw a few women coming together at the entrance of the village, he glanced at the pants on his body, and thought that fortunately he didn't swim naked, otherwise he would have to show people his bare buttocks. However, when the women looked at him, they shouted: "Come on, Wang Xiaoguan has fallen into the water!" ”

“……”

It was only then that Wang Fulin realized what Qi Liang's meaningful glance meant. In the eyes of the villagers, he is a weak scholar who is powerless, and there is only one possibility of falling into the water in the Fengle River!

Seeing Qi Liang plunging into the water, he swam back in the direction of Xixi Nancun on the other side, and he was even more angry.

What kind of person is this, leaving him under the noses of a group of seven aunts and eight aunts, it's too unrighteous!

ps: I didn't get home until eight o'clock last night, I couldn't get a taxi, I squeezed the bus and sardines, and I poured a soup chicken, alas (to be continued)
