Xu Cheng watched most of the class outside the window, just because Xu Yuanzuo was lecturing, and in front of hundreds of people teaching, the concept of "respecting teachers and respecting the way" deeply rooted in his consciousness made him dare not disturb, and he endured it stubbornly. Xu Yuanzuo didn't have such a strong sense of professionalism, and there was no obstacle to leaving class early.

The students sat up and bowed deeply, waiting for Xu Yuanzuo to step out of the classroom before they straightened up and discussed with each other.

Xu Yuanzuo walked outside and saluted with a smile: "Does the big housekeeper Xu have any advice?" ”

A smile appeared on Xu Cheng's face. Xu Qing made a big move on the land, and all kinds of tricks fell on him and Xu Yuanzuo's small book. Now that Xu Fan is in charge, the position of the chief housekeeper of the Xu Mansion has naturally shifted to Xu Cheng. As for Xu Qing, if Xu Yuanzuo hadn't insisted on touching him for the time being, he would have been sent to Xuanping's old mansion long ago - that house was purchased by Xu Jie's father, Xu Huang, and it was also the place where Xu Jie's birth, and it was a veritable old mansion.

Xu Cheng and Xu Yuanzuo greeted each other and said, "There is one thing, the master is inconvenient to come forward, and I want you to help me run." ”

Xu Yuanzuo and the Xu family are nominally clan relatives, and it is common sense to run around when there is something. Because he is taking care of the Xu family's property, if it is according to the asylum system, he is also obliged to complete all kinds of instructions from Xu Jie.

"Dare to disobey."

"There is a miscellaneous matter in Beijing." Xu Cheng pulled Xu Yuanzuo to the back garden.

The garden of the School of Economics reverses the "hidden show" style of the Jiangnan garden, and takes the "open" of the northern garden, mostly separated by half-human shrubs to create passages, and sparsely planted with laurel trees in the middle. There are also stone benches and chairs on the side of the passage, which is convenient for students to sit and discuss their knowledge here.

Xu Cheng came here once, but he felt that it was not elegant enough, and he learned the roughness of the northerners. When I came back today, I was parallel with Xu Yuanzuo, but I found a great benefit: the whole garden was in full view. Pedestrians can see from afar, and they don't have to worry about the walls having ears when they say something confidential, but they look bright and upright.

The two walked among the flowers and trees, and when the students saw each other, they saluted and retreated from a distance, which was quite polite. Xu Cheng was also puzzled. He knew that this academy did not teach serious knowledge, but it was all miscellaneous studies, but he didn't expect that the students still looked like scholars.

"Gao Xinzheng has integrated the government, and the past two years are also the time to start." Xu Yuanzuo said: "I just don't know where he started?" ”

Xu Cheng said: "Jing Lian has heard of Gu Shao? ”

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head: "Is it a child of the powerful family?" ”

Gu Lu is a Jiangnan surname, and some powerful families can even be traced back to the late Han Dynasty Jiangdong wealthy family, with a clear pedigree, in the Tang Dynasty for the gate valve, in the Song Dynasty for Jiang Qing, and until today it is also a powerful family of Jinshiju. Because the roots are deep. Therefore, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the children of the clan are also uneven, and the virtuous and the unscrupulous are mixed.

"Although it is not a powerful family, it is also a grain household, and it has covered the grain endowment of several villages."

"That's a peer." Xu Yuanzuo chuckled.

Xu Cheng couldn't relax, laughed dryly, and said, "It's a pity that this colleague doesn't want to do it, and wants to hand over the errand to Renshoutang." ”

"That's good." Xu Yuanzuo raised his eyebrows. It seems that the great feat of Renshoutang's unification of Huating grain is not far away.

"It's a pity that he was deceived and all the food was paid. But he couldn't get the grain strings, the government didn't recognize it, and the grain was gone. ”

"Hmm, I was so careless." Xu Yuanzuo responded.

The corners of Xu Cheng's mouth twitched, half to hold back the laughter, and half to be a little angry. He said, "The key is to lie to him." Under the banner of Renjudo. ”

"Poor, who in Huating doesn't know that my Renshoutang collects grain with one hand and gives vouchers with the other? Besides, he is from Huating, and the grain cabinets where I collect grain are found everywhere in the county town, Tangxing, and Tuolin, so just ask a family member to take a look. How can you still be deceived? Xu Yuanzuo disagreed. He knew that fools were rarely deceived, and those who were deceived were shrewd people who were greedy for small gains, so he didn't have much sympathy.

"The person who can deceive him is the slave of our Xu family." Xu Cheng said.

"Hmm...... It's not a pity for this kind of person to die. Xu Yuanzuo stopped and said, "Big housekeeper, there is something we have to think clearly: keeping a slave is not a shameful thing. Can't keep a slave looks like a joke, but it is a good reputation for being poor in his old age. There is no need to lose the reputation of the elder for the sake of a cheater. ”

Xu Cheng didn't understand this truth. As a national-level leader, does Yumeat Xiangzi have a face? If you really hand over the servants and apologize to others, you will only say that the family style is strict and orderly, and you don't ignore the law because of your high authority.

"But this slave is what the third young grandmother wants to protect." Xu Cheng said.

Xu Yuanzuo sighed, thinking of the young, beautiful and somewhat pungent third young grandmother, knowing why Xu Cheng was so embarrassed. He said: "The third young grandmother is also from everyone, don't you understand this truth? I really don't understand, spend a dozen taels of silver, and ask her bride-in-law to tell him this truth. ”

The mother-in-law who married over not only served the young lady, but also had a certain educational obligation, so as not to be unable to take care of the family affairs of the eldest lady who did not touch the spring water. Because of this relationship, the master and servant are often far closer to each other than others, and it is always useful to speak. Xu Yuanzuo thought that the slave had deceived other people's food, and he would definitely not swallow it alone, most of which was to make an offering to the third young grandmother and ask for a talisman.

Xu Cheng knew more, and knew that the servants below dared to cheat people and pay taxes under the banner of Renshoutang, and it was by no means just a matter of making offerings. Although no one said that Renshoutang bullied the market, but the hundreds of people in the nursing home raised by Xu Yuanzuo were all pretended? Many things in the dark are just not enough for outsiders.

Xu Yuanzuo only had to look at Xu Cheng's expression to change, so he guessed seven points, and said with a smile: "The third aunt also wants to see if the little nephew is filial, right?" ”

In his opinion, the Lu family took this silver, most likely because he wanted Xu Yuanzuo to admit the account and make up for the silver. In this way, the external fraud becomes an internal matter of the family. This kind of idea of having a share in the audience is very popular, if it is not for the plaque of the Xu family, sooner or later there will be powerful families outside who want him to "contribute". In the past two years, as the name of the little God of Wealth has begun, the family has also taken a fancy to him.

Seeing Xu Cheng's embarrassed face, Xu Yuanzuo said: "Silver is a trivial matter, why did it come to the point of complaining?" ”

"Then Gu Shao went to Renshoutang and was kicked out." Xu Cheng stared at Xu Yuanzuo, wanting to see if Xu Yuanzuo knew about it. For many people, since Xu Yuanzuo has time to toss a bucket at home, will he completely ignore the business that is close at hand? Do the people below have so much courage? So people were kicked out by Renjudo. was undoubtedly driven out by Xu Yuanzuo.

They can't think about it in their shoes, if a random person wants to find Xu Yuanzuo, Xu Yuanzuo will come out to deal with it, who can have that kind of energy? What's more, Xu Yuanzuo has spent so much money on the system, if he cares about such a trivial matter, then the money will be thrown into the water in vain!

"He ran to Renshoutang to explain the law. What can be said? Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Although I don't know about this, even if I know, I can't interfere." Otherwise, your subordinates will be overwhelmed. ”

Xu Cheng walked around in front of the prime minister's door, and when he saw Xu Yuanzuo say this, of course he believed it. He said: "Now it's that Gu Shao who is not easy to do, he went to Beijing to sue my family for indulging slaves and stealing the grain transfer of the mansion." ”

Xu Yuanzuo asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Six days ago."

"Six days ago?"

"This time, Brother Chun went north and brought two cages of pigeons, thinking that one cage would be released in peace, and another cage would be released in Huangbang High School." Xu Cheng said.

- 10 birds in a cage. You don't have to put so much for insurance!

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "This time it's right, but what else did you say?" ”

"I also told you about what I saw and heard on the road." Xu Cheng said, repeating all the novelties that Xu Yuanchun saw all the way north, and there were two poems that Xu Yuanchun felt nostalgic for.

Xu Yuanzuo listened to it, and secretly said in his heart: This flying pigeon biography is about to catch up with the long article on Weibo, so it is really saving to use a cage of pigeons!

"I guess you can't write so many words in a cage of pigeons, right?" Xu Yuanzuo said.

Xu Cheng was serious: "Jing Lian, don't say it, this flying pigeon biography you have is really promising." The two baskets that were released this time have all returned! Not a single one was lost! ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed: One cage is really not enough!

"Look. Isn't this time a meritorious service? Xu Cheng said: "If it weren't for Brother Chun'er's warning, we would still be in the dark now!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "If it is useful." The person sent a special person to Beijing. "Raising pigeons is easy to say, but when you have an accident, you have to rely on experience. The person Shen Yujun helped to find is really an honest person, and it can be seen that the apprentice is not hidden, but it is a pity that he is limited to the ability to express and summarize, and he cannot systematically teach the knowledge of pigeon breeding, so there are still too few talents in this area.

Beijing is such an important place. If Xu Yuanchun really wants to stay, it is definitely necessary to build a pigeon farm - otherwise he will not be able to provide political advice to the eldest young master of the Xu family! If he didn't give Xu Yuanchun a plug-in, he himself would be a waiter for most of the unpopular department.

Xu Cheng's train of thought quickly returned to the case from the pigeon and asked, "Jing Lian, what are you going to do about this?" ”

"It's nothing more than filling the gap. Then tell the above: the report was missed during the operation of the grain supply, one end has been put into storage, and the other end has not received the collected grain strings, which is the fault of the temporary workers. Xu Yuanzuo said disapprovingly.

Xu Cheng stroked his palms and smiled: "Jing Lian, your idea here is really wonderful. ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "It seems that I have to make up a gift for the third aunt, so as not to leave a gap." ”

Xu Cheng said: "Woman, your eyes are shallow. If this kind of thing is provoked at this time, isn't it fast for relatives to hurt enemies? ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled and did not participate in the discussion. He said that he was an outsider from afar, and that he was a junior from a distance. What Xu Cheng can say, he really can't say.

"But there is already an evil wind in Beijing, how can it be quelled?" Xu Cheng asked.

After Xu Yuanzuo knew that Xu Cheng would definitely repeat it to Xu Jie, he said slowly: "It's better to wait for it to calm down." If we get involved, the wind will only get louder. Of course, if Qingliu can turn his attention elsewhere, it won't be a big deal. ”

"What are your plans?"

"I heard that the Lu family's recovery of stolen goods has not yet been paid, which is probably much more than the embezzlement that framed us." Xu Yuanzuo touched his chin.

Lu Bing was in power in the Jiajing Dynasty for a while, and he was a big celebrity of Emperor Sejong, but in the first year of Longqing, the wind in the court and the opposition turned, and the imperial history was negligent about Lu Bing's crime, and finally Lu Bing himself cut his rank, his family property was confiscated, and his two sons, Lu Yi and Lu Wei, were taken away from their official bodies, and they also sat on hundreds of thousands of taels of stolen goods, and chased them again and again, squeezing out the last savings of the Lu family.

Xu Yuanzuo has no special feelings for Lu Bing. Although most of the sergeants in the court stood on the position of praising him, saying that he had not framed the sergeant, this was not the case, and there were signs of Lu Bing's activities behind the scenes in Xia Yan's prison. In the Longqing Dynasty, Yushi attacked Lu Bing, the late boss, and Xu Jie completely stayed out of the matter - it seems that it is understandable that he is out of the matter.

And in order to make money, Lu Bing did not attack the small people. It's just that these small people don't have the right to speak, so Lu Bing's reputation in the court can be preserved.

Xu Cheng is Xu Jie's close person, and he knows far more secrets than outsiders think he knows. Rao is that he already has a strong adaptability to Xu Yuanzuo, and he is used to knowing all kinds of court allusions well, but seeing Xu Yuanzuo pointing the finger at the Lu family so lightly, he is still a little uncomfortable.

- I'm afraid this is a supernatural!

Xu Cheng thought silently.

Xu Yuanzuo's face was warm, and he did not have the slightest consciousness of causing trouble. He knew that this kind of calamity would not lead to anything, because the Lu family's family business had already been hollowed out. When the Lu brothers encounter such a political cold wave, they will definitely write to their sister for help. In this way, the third aunt should be able to understand how things should be done.

For a trivial matter like a lack of money, just say it, but when you use the means, you need education.

Xu Yuanzuo calculated the age of this third aunt, I am afraid that she is only twenty, and she is still a child, and she will inevitably make mistakes when she is bewitched. Is this kind of education too harsh? He glanced at Xu Cheng and said, "Or, just wait?" ”

Xu Cheng hurriedly said: "The master means to let you dispose of it, you can do it according to your heart." ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded solemnly. However, educating the children at home is not Xu Yuanzuo's task. The biggest problem at present is not Gu Shao's accusation that the Xu Mansion embezzled the money and grain transferred by the government, but the anti-Xu case that Gao Gong arose because of this.

In order to frame Xu Yuanzuo, this senior pavilion elder specially ordered Han Ji, who was then a protégé of the imperial history of the city, to keep an eye on the personnel from Songjiang Mansion who came to Beijing. Just in time for Huating Sun Kehong to send his servant Sun Wu to Beijing to run for office, he was threatened and lured by Han Ji, and Pan falsely accused Xu Jie's sending him to quell Xu Fan's case of stealing grain, and then Cai Guoxi responded in Suzhou, so there was the story of Xu Fan's seizure of office, Xu Kun and Xu Ying's army.

Because this case is too far-fetched, it also determines the historical role of Xu Jie's high arch - Xu Jie is believed to be really not a party, otherwise how could he not save his son? The high arch has a reputation for being a powerful and cautious eye.
