Cui Hao left Anlu in the third year of junior high school, and before leaving, he left a famous post for Huguang to learn from the Taoist idiot. Dao idiots want to pay tribute, and they can use this to find a place to learn.

The normal time for the tribute students of Guozijian to pay tribute is in March, but there is no movement in the capital at present. Of course, it is impossible for the idiot to leave the palace first and go directly to the capital, this post is in his hands, but he is not in a hurry.

Wang Qinghong participated in politics for Guangxi, and the yamen was in Nanning, more than 2,000 miles away from Anlu. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Wang Qinghong took the concubine Feng and Biyun to set off.

Many people from the Wang clan came to see them off, and the brothers Wang Zhen and Wang Qi of the sect also arrived.

Among these many in-laws, Wang Qinghong chose two honest nephews to follow. He has been in office for many years and is also familiar with all kinds of contacts in officialdom. In addition to the superficial exchanges between colleagues and superiors, the exchanges between female relatives and the younger generation are all knowledgeable.

Although Wang Yang can't go with him, there is a down-and-out Feng who is not humble and can entertain his officials and dependents; The two nephews don't need them to be clever, as long as they are honest.

Until Wang Qinghong went out of the gate and got into the carriage, the idiot did not show up.

Seeing this, Wang Qi couldn't help but differentiate, and asked Wang Zhen in a low voice: "Big brother, why didn't Erlang come?" ”

Since he came back from the funeral a year ago, he is not good at going to other people's houses because of his clothes, and he has not seen a Taoist idiot.

Wang Zhen said: "As early as after Uncle Hong returned to his hometown, his uncle and grandmother over there said that Erlang's homework is important, and if he can not come out to socialize, he will not come out to socialize." ”

When Wang Qi heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Wang Zhen glanced at him and said, "I know that you and San Lang are good, but the matter of the twelfth room is still less involved." It has not been easy for uncles and grandmothers to endure until now, and how many children who have gone out have never seen the pioneer family for half their lives. ”

Wang Qi muttered, "San Lang knows that he will be sad. ”

Wang Zhen patted him and said, "If it's uneven, I'll complain to Erlang about this." ”

Wang Qi sneered: "Erlang is also my brother, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, I'd better shut up." ”

Although I don't know why Wang Ning said those words, the old lady is not an unreasonable person, and there must be some purpose in doing this.

Thinking of this, Wang Qi looked at the Wang Yang family surrounded by women. Could it be because of Wang Yang's?

Wang Yang did not go with her husband and wanted to stay in Anlu. It is reasonable for Wang Ning to be jealous of her.

Wang Qinghong is a celebrity in the Wang clan, and even the eighth master, who does not love human relations, went to see him off on crutches, and Wang Ning's family didn't know the news.

Wang Cui's eccentricity is very strong, Wang Yang's is not good at stubble, but Wang Qinghong is the father of a Taoist idiot after all.

Since getting up in the morning, Wang Ning hesitated whether to call the idiot to see him off, but seeing his grandson sitting in front of the window and concentrating on reading, the old lady's heart calmed down.

If you are reluctant to give up this old face and care about that reputation, then there will be bad things over there in the future, so that the grandparents and grandchildren will not be clean. In addition, it is easy for people to gain an inch, and if they look at their ancestors and grandchildren over there, they don't know what means will be in the future.

With Wang Cui's heart is high, where can she tolerate a grandson who has already been succeeded stronger than her grandson?

Thinking about Wang Yang's methods again, the old lady only felt cold. I gave birth to two uncles, one has already left, and the other has set off after the Lantern Festival, but I can't count on it.

At this time, the old lady was really looking forward to going to Beijing with her grandson as soon as possible...... Wang Qi followed Wang Zhen to see her off in the twelfth room, but she couldn't hold back and slipped away to the outer ninth room.

Wang Ningshi saw that he had lost a lot of weight, and it was too late to feel distressed, where did the accountant come to the door than him? Hurriedly instructed Mama Yan to prepare tea and snacks for the little brothers.

Wang Qi entered the east room, looked at the books spread out on the desk, and a few manuscripts with ink not dry, and smacked his tongue: "It's still in the middle of the festival, and Erlang is working too hard." ”

Dao idiot smiled bitterly: "Next year is the year of the township test, and time is not waiting." ”

Wang Qi put aside the manuscript, rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it sincere, brother?" You'll only be fifteen next year, so what's the point of waiting for the next subject? ”

The Taoist idiot stroked his forehead and said: "It's early, it's early, and it's not more annoying to drag it down against the eight shares all day long." ”

When Wang Qi heard this, his eyes widened and said, "Erlang doesn't like to read?" ”

Dao idiot glanced at him and said, "If it's not for the exam, who is patient to read this?" ”

Wang Qi said: "Haha, my brother thought you loved to read." It turns out that you are also a person who doesn't like to read, no wonder you and my brother have signed a deed, it turns out that the roots are here. ”

Hee-hee-ha, Wang Qi didn't mention why the idiot didn't see off his biological father, and the idiot didn't ask Wang Qi about the 120 hectares of land.

Just chatting and chatting, Wang Qi said with a little melancholy: "I was looking forward to the holiday earlier, but now I miss the palace a little......

For others, the Chinese New Year is an endless feast and entertainment. But for the outer nine rooms, the widow's door is thin, and the number of relatives who come and go is also limited, except for the first few days, the rest of the time is quiet.

In a blink of an eye, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Taoist idiot went to send Liu Wanshan's family.

What Liu Wanshan left to his nephew was a title deed of 80 acres of fertile land, two hundred taels of silver, and a deed of a house.

The Taoist idiot refused to accept it, Liu Wanshan said: "You are still young, you should concentrate on your studies and not be distracted by foreign affairs, but it is not easy to support the portal." I am your uncle, and I am not an outsider, and within the scope of my ability, I should do my best for my nephew. The elders give it, and it is impossible to say goodbye. You don't have to worry about your grandmother's side, the old lady is an understanding person and will not stop our uncle and nephew from getting close. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the plate of silver ingots and said, "You can think of buying more dowries for your sister, it is a responsible one, but since it is your biological mother's dowry, it is good to redeem it if you can." As for the people in this house, they are the sons of your uncle's mother's family, even if they have been out of Beijing for more than ten years, they also have relatives and friends who work in the old house in Beijing, and your aunt gives you and cherishes you. When you enter Beijing, bring it with you, and if you have an errand runner, you won't be black-eyed. You can't live there, so you still stay here, and when you go to Beijing, you can take it with you...... The people in your room are too old and too small, and they are really useless......"

The idiot can't push it, so he can only thank him.

As for the issue of subordinates, he had thought about it for a long time, but there was no way. There are few cottages, and I want to buy more people, not to mention the nervousness of living, and the old lady is still unwilling.

Even the two people left by Cui Hao are also staying in the new house, and they have not arranged errands yet.

Seeing that the idiot didn't ramble anymore, Liu Wanshan touched his beard with satisfaction.

Because this person in the house was given by Ren's family, the Taoist idiot had to make a special trip to thank Ren's family.

Ren instructed his mother-in-law to call the people in the room to come out and meet the new master.

There is a family of six people in the house, the man's name is Zhou Tai, in his forties, in addition to his mother-in-law, there are four children, the eldest son Dashun is seventeen or eight years old, the second son is fourteen and five, and the next two are girls, one is twelve and three, and one is eight or nine years old.

There are healthy servants, servants, maids, and girls. Even if the two ancestors and grandchildren of the outer nine rooms don't like to have a lot of people, only this one room is left behind, and the exception is enough to call. Liu Wanshan and his wife chose this house to give it away, and they were also attentive.

Zhou Tai's family lowered their eyebrows and kowtowed to the idiot and recognized the new owner.

Many relatives and friends of the Liu family came to see them off, and the two uncles and nephews didn't have to talk anymore. Together with the others, the Dao idiot sent Liu Wanshan's family out of the city before returning to the city.

Because he saw Zhou Tai's family, he felt something, and before he returned to the palace, he went to the old mansion.

Even if Zhou Tai's family is a descendant, because it is from the Ren family, how to summon him has to think about it. The people in the two rooms left by Cui Hao don't need to scruple much.

There are now three pieces of land in the outer nine rooms, the ten acres passed down by the ancestors, the thirty acres of the dowry of the Taoist mother, and the eighty acres donated by Liu Wanshan.

In addition, the Taoist idiot has already discussed with Wang Ning's family to inquire about the land on the market, so he will not buy it piecemeal, but pick up more pieces of land. When asked by outsiders, it was also pushed to Cui Liu's two uncles.

Yan Bo is old, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and he is not suitable for patrolling the village.

The two rooms in the new house, before Cui Hao left, the Taoist idiot had already seen it.

Zhang Da's family and Zhao Si's family were all bought by Cui Hao from Wuchang Mansion. One room is from the eunuch's house, and the other room is from the house of Jujia. The former is a family of four, and the latter is a family of three. There aren't many dingkous.

According to Cui Hao's words, if you buy a subordinate outside, you still need to be trained, so it's better to get a hand.

Seeing the idiot coming, Zhang Da and Zhao Si both greeted him.

The Taoist idiot instructed Zhang Da to inquire about the good land, preferably between 200 and 500 acres. Then he instructed Zhao Si to do the things of the shop, an antique shop, and a garment shop.

Both responded happily.

For servants, the more prosperous the Lord's house is, the better their life will be.

The Taoist idiot instructed Zhang Da and Zhao Si to give Zhang Da and Zhao Si twenty taels of silver each for the expenses of the two of them, and left the new house.

Zhang Da and Zhao looked at each other, but they didn't say much, and respectfully sent the idiot out of the door.

Zhao Si thought about it and said, "Brother Zhang, why doesn't the son call our family's superiors?" ”

Zhang Dadao: "Xu is son's family is not short of people waiting. ”

Zhao Si said "haha" twice, and he didn't say more.

Although the two of them are from large families, neither of them dares to despise the new master.

Cui Ye, who bought them, is not a good stubble, and he has already explained before leaving, if they dare to bully each other because of the new master's young age, there will only be one dead word in the end.

Although I don't know who Cui Ye is, if he can pick people from the prefect's yamen and the house of the giant, how can ordinary people provoke him.

As for not allowing their women and children to serve in the past, I am afraid that the new Lord is still waiting to see them.

Both of them made up their minds that they must get off to a good start and do the first errand that the new master has to do...... The Taoist idiot originally planned to go back to the palace directly after sending Liu Wanshan off, but because of the relationship between the two hundred taels of silver and the land deed, he still went back to the outer nine rooms first and handed them over to Wang Ning's family.

Wang Ning sighed, put his things away, and said, "We owe you more Uncle Liu." ”

The idiot said: "Grandmother, grandchildren remember." When the grandson has a day, he will return to his uncle. ”

Wang Ning said lovingly: "I'm going to the palace again, remember my words, it's okay to work hard, but you are not allowed to stay up late." If you hurt yourself from studying, I'd rather you be a farmer. ”

The idiot responded honestly, and when he looked outside, it was not early, so he returned to the palace with a sting.

By the time they arrived at the Lequn Courtyard, except for the tiger head, all the companions had already come, and they were gathering in the upper room to eat tea and talk.

was stunned to clean up the house, and the idiot was directly called to the upper room by Wang Qi.

Wang Qi went to Bai Xiao and dressed up plainly. Because the palace is in filial piety, everyone has been dressed plainly in the past two years, and he doesn't look eye-catching.

After losing weight, people have a lot of energy, if they don't speak, they are also a young man, just as they speak, they will show their bottoms.

beckoned Erlang to come in, Wang Qi squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Erlang, Boss Chen went to Wuchang Mansion a few days ago and brought the little beauty back...... Hey hey ......"

He laughed obscenely, and he really blinded this face in vain.

When the idiot saw him like this, he couldn't cry or laugh. Looking at his classmates, Chen Chizhong became more and more calm, just like Wang Qi said that he was not him; Liu Congyun was smiling and eating tea, watching from the wall; It was Lu Wenzhao who reacted differently, with a disgruntled face, looking at Wang Qi and Chen Chizhong's face was not good.

The idiot looked around, puzzled, and didn't stop Wang Qi, letting him make fun of Chen Chizhong.

Although Chen Chizhong took off his Taoist robe, he grew up in the Taoist Gate, and he was not ashamed, and his opening was the way of "Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang".

Wang Qi was choked, ate half a cup of tea and said: "I can see it, fortunately Boss Chen is still vulgar, otherwise he would really be a Taoist priest, and he would also be a waste of the little Taoist aunt." ”

Chen Chizhong glanced at Wang Qi's waist, looking like he knew it in his heart, and didn't say much.

Wang Qi didn't know whether he was ashamed or annoyed, his face turned red, and said: "I'm in filial piety, what is Boss Chen's eyes looking at? ”

Chen Chizhong smiled "hehe": "I think Qilang's new belt is good, what does Qilang think I'm looking at?" ”

Wang Qi couldn't hold back, stood up, pointed at Chen Chizhong, and said sadly: "It's really unreasonable, it's only been a year, and Boss Chen's skin is so thick that he has to catch up with me......"

Before Chen Chizhong could speak, Lu Wenzhao reacted.

"Touch" He put down the teacup heavily, stood up, and said coldly: "Shameless! But without waiting for the people to react, he turned around and went out in a huff.

Chen Chizhong lowered his face and looked at Lu Wenzhao's back with a gloomy expression.

Being scolded confused, Wang Qi thought that he hadn't seen Lu Wenzhao these days, let alone offended, so he asked, "Boss Chen, when did you offend Lu Shudu?" ”

Chen Chizhong snorted lightly and said, "Who knows what kind of convulsions he makes." ”

Wang Qi and Lu Wenzhao have known each other for more than ten years, and they know that although he is crooked and crooked, he will never lose his temper for no reason.

Chen Chizhong refused to say that Erlang had always gone far away from them, and he must not know, so Wang Qi looked at Liu Congyun.

Liu Congyun really looked cheap, and Wang Qi hurriedly leaned over: "Big cat, I haven't been resting for half a month, and I've become a fool, let's talk about it, what kind of grievances make Boss Chen and Scholar Lu hate each other?" ”

Liu Congyun didn't reply immediately, but looked at Chen Chizhong and said, "This is Boss Chen's private matter, Qilang is better to ask Boss Chen." ”

Wang Qi had no choice but to come to Chen Chizhong again, restrained his smile, slapped him, and said, "Okay, Boss Chen, you are reporting good news and not bad news." After all, Lu Wenzhao is the eldest son of the Lu family, and there is still a Lu family behind him, so it is not easy to offend. What kind of friction is there, and I can't take care of it? ”

No matter what, he has some real friendship with Boss Chen, and he has to worry about him.

Even if Chen Chizhong is in the palace and has a prince to support, the Lu family, as one of the four surnames of An Lu, is really no good offended.

Seeing that he was concerned, Chen Chizhong's expression eased slightly, and said, "Qilang doesn't have to worry, it's not a big deal, it's just that the words are not speculative." ”

Seeing that Wang Qi's face was full of curiosity, and he wanted to ask, he had to add another sentence: "On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Master Lu sent someone to invite me over for dinner, and he was a little not speculative. ”

In the first month, he invited his son to be a guest with his classmates, which is not in line with Master Lu's temperament.

Master Lu is notoriously unprofitable, and he has a lot of personal contacts, all depending on a good word. That is, when the maternal uncle borrows silver, he must make an IOU and indicate the interest.

Although the Lu family is the last of the four surnames of An Lu, this is also because the children of the Lu family are not ranked in the imperial examination, and they all rely on donating officials. It is difficult to donate officials to the officialdom and upgrade, of course, it is not as good as the other three, and they are the backers of the officialdom.

However, the officialdom of the Lu family is weak, but they can borrow the power of their in-laws.

Thinking of this, Wang Qi roughly guessed the reason in his heart, and saw Chen Chizhong's depressed face, but he didn't say anything about it.

Although the palace was on holiday before Laba, when Mrs. Wang was at the funeral, everyone else also returned to the palace to assist in the funeral, so everyone gossiped about the interesting things in the half month of the New Year.

After eating two teas, the Taoist idiot was a little worried about the tiger's head, so he said to everyone and came out of the tea room. He thought about going to the front to greet him, and if the tiger head hadn't come yet, he would go to the shop in Xicheng to find the tiger head's cousin and inquire.

When Wang Qi heard that he was going to greet the tiger's head, he also came out.

Out of the Le Qun Hall, Wang Qi said with gossip on his face: "Erlang, my brother knows why Lu Shudun is annoyed. ”

The idiot asked, "Why?" ”

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Where is Master Lu who invites people to eat for nothing?" Even staring at Boss Chen, there must be a reason. Although Boss Chen is a lonely man, he has a mysterious view and 500 hectares of land under his name. In the Anlu realm, in addition to the palace and the four surnames, there are many Chen Laodatian. Master Lu is eighty percent of his eyes on Boss Chen's Tian. "Speaking of which. He touched his chin, seemed to have an understanding, and said: "No wonder in the past half a year, I always feel that there is something wrong with Boss Chen, even if he really uses a few beautiful maids, it is just his own private matter, why make a fuss to everyone." It seems that it has other intentions, and I am afraid that it is not only the Lu family that is targeting Boss Chen. He had no intention of accepting a son-in-law from a big family, and he didn't want to offend people too much, so he had to appear more romantic. ”

500 hectares of land, worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Dao idiot thought that after Chen Chizhong received the Xuanmiaoguan Concept, he changed his Taoist robe and stayed in the palace, I am afraid that he also understands in his heart that with these properties in his hands, if he does not hug the thighs of the prince, he will be swallowed alive by life when he goes out.

Chen Chizhong seems to be rough, but in his heart, he is also a calculator.

The two brothers went out of the palace and went to the gate of the palace.

Before I got to the gate, I saw the tiger head coming towards me.

Wang Qi was overjoyed when he saw this, and was just about to say hello, but before he could speak, his face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who hit this ......?"

The tiger head raised his head, with half of his face slap print, looking at the idiot, tears rolling in his eyes.

The face of the idiot turned black all of a sudden
